Chapter 2123: I Can’t Even Take Care of Myself Now

“I came to rescue Owen,” said Gu Ning in Language Y as well.

“Where is Owen?” asked the man. He thought Gu Ning had found Owen.

“Do you think I’ll tell you?” Gu Ning asked him instead with obvious disdain in her voice.

“…”

The man was struck dumb for a second. Since she came to help Owen, she obviously wouldn’t tell him where Owen was.

“Did you knock my companion unconscious?” asked the man.

“Yeah, and now you’re the only one left standing,” said Gu Ning with an evil smile on her lips.

“What?” Knowing that, the man was shocked. He was the only one left standing? Did it mean that all of his companions were beaten by this girl?

How was it possible? How could this girl quietly defeat his five companions?

The man felt a little frightened, but he couldn’t retreat in the current situation. If he retreated, he would suffer the same result as his companions. If he didn’t, he might be able to win. Therefore, the man immediately shot Gu Ning, trying to kill her before she could react.

However, Gu Ning was already prepared for his attack. Even if she wasn’t prepared, she was agile enough to avoid the bullet.

Without surprise, once the gun was shot, Gu Ning quickly moved to the other side and the bullet didn’t even touch her.

The man was mad. He didn’t expect Gu Ning to be so agile. He didn’t dare to stop and shot at Gu Ning again, but Gu Ning successfully avoided the bullet once more.

However, dodging couldn’t solve the problem forever, so Gu Ning took two guns in her hands after she avoided the second bullet. And the next moment, she began to shoot at the man.

At the same time, the man shot at Gu Ning again, and Gu Ning easily avoided the bullet.

The man reacted quickly, so he was able to avoid the two bullets Gu Ning shot at him.

Both Gu Ning and the man continued to fire their guns. Gu Ning still successfully avoided the bullets, but the man wasn’t so lucky. It wasn’t easy to avoid two bullets at the same time after all. As a result, the man only avoided one bullet and was shot in the left arm by another.

The man was shot in the arm. It was painful, but he was still able to fight back, so he shot again with the gun in his right hand. Gu Ning did the same thing.

The man still failed to hit Gu Ning, and he avoided one bullet from Gu Ning, but got shot by the other.

This time, he was shot in the right arm, and the man’s whole hand went numb. He couldn’t hold his gun anymore and it fell to the ground.

The man was scared. Without caring about his numb arm, he squatted to pick up the gun at once. Unfortunately, Gu Ning was faster than him. In the blink of an eye, Gu Ning came to the man. When the man was about to touch the gun, Gu Ning hooked the gun with her foot and kicked it into the air, then the gun was in her hand.

Afterwards, Gu Ning gave the man a kick on his knee. With a “crack”, the man’s knee joint was misaligned and he fell to the ground.

“I won’t kill you, but Owen might.” Gu Ning coldly looked at the man, then turned around and walked away.

Given the man’s condition, he couldn’t escape, and Gu Ning had to find Owen as soon as possible.

Even if Gu Ning didn’t kill him, the man was still in despair, because Gu Ning was right. She wouldn’t kill him, but Owen might.

What was worse, he felt very uncomfortable now even if he just moved a little, so don’t even mention running away.

Gu Ning kept on searching for Owen, and directly called him this time, but she couldn’t get through to him because there was no signal.

Because of that, Gu Ning could only rely on her Jade Eyes to look for him.

In the end, after about ten minutes, Gu Ning found Owen in an underground room of a warehouse.

Owen lay motionless on the ground, and was wounded, covered in blood. Gu Ning wasn’t sure whether he was still alive.

Gu Ning found the bas.e.m.e.nt door. The bas.e.m.e.nt door was a hidden door, which looked like a wall, but was actually a door, so ordinary people might not find it. Gu Ning thought Owen should have opened it by accident.

The door was locked from the inside and couldn’t be opened. Gu Ning didn’t want to break it directly, so she knocked on it first to see if Owen was conscious and could open it. However, Owen gave her no response.

Gu Ning had already felt that Owen still had a breath of life with her senses, and it wasn’t weak. He didn’t respond because he pa.s.sed out. Therefore, Gu Ning directly took out a hammer from the telepathic eye s.p.a.ce and smashed the door right away.

After a while, Gu Ning broke a hole in the stone door, which was large enough for her to reach an arm inside. Gu Ning then put her hand inside to unlock the door and opened it.

It was completely dark in the bas.e.m.e.nt. Gu Ning took out her phone, turned on the flashlight, and walked inside.

The bas.e.m.e.nt wasn’t big, about thirty square meters, and Owen was lying in the corner.

Gu Ning came to Owen, grabbed his hand, and put her magical power into his body.

Before long, Owen’s pale face gradually became rosy. The injuries on his body also stopped bleeding, and he woke up.

When Owen was finally conscious, he was very nervous. He opened his eyes, but once he saw Gu Ning, he breathed a sigh of relief. “You, you are here.”

“Yeah, they were all knocked unconscious by me. I’ll leave them to you,” said Gu Ning.

“Thank you, you’ve saved my life again. If you need me in the future, I’ll do whatever I can to help.” Owen thanked Gu Ning. He could barely express his grat.i.tude to Gu Ning with words, so he could only thank her and make a promise.

“Take better care of yourself! I don’t know how long before you’ll be chased again. You might not be so lucky next time.” Gu Ning rolled her eyes at Owen. She didn’t disdain him, but simply felt the situation he was in was very bad.

Owen put on an embarra.s.sed smile. He wasn’t mad at Gu Ning because of her words, because Gu Ning was right. He also had no idea when those people would stop chasing him. He might not be lucky next time! He couldn’t protect himself well, so it was impossible for him to help Gu Ning.

Anyway, he decided to fight back after what had happened today. He wanted to end the chase.

“You’re right. I can barely protect myself, but I’ll be more careful. It’ll be over soon,” said Owen. He was saying that to Gu Ning, and to himself.

Gu Ning said nothing, and neither did Owen. They had to deal with the problem lying in front of them right now.
