50 -50 Too Many Unexpected Events
“What, what?
Sister Su is coming too, that’s great, we got a strong reinforcement.” In the underground parking garage, when Lu Yi learned that Su Hui had arrived, he was so excited that he almost jumped for joy.
However, his excitement didn’t last long as he felt a sudden strong impact and lost his balance, falling to the ground awkwardly.
His eleven cell phones also fell to the ground.
Lu Yi immediately got out of the car and saw a sedan had crashed into his van.
He was instantly furious, wasn’t this just adding chaos to chaos?
A man and a woman got out of the car, the one who got out of the driver’s seat was a woman.
She had a sorry look on her face: “I’m sorry, really sorry, I’m a newbie, just got my driver’s license recently.
You’re okay, right?”
“Even for newbies, you don’t need to be that exaggerated.
Don’t you know how dangerous it is?” Lu Yi was still angry, after all, he had an important task at hand.
If the impact had been a bit harsher, it could have caused an accident.
The woman kept apologizing, her attitude was sincere.
This made Lu Yi calm down a bit.
He was about to let things slide but uttered an extra sentence: “Alright, you’ve apologized, we’re okay, you just need to compensate us, and be careful next time, don’t make such a serious mistake again.”
The woman looked embarrassed when she heard this, causing the man beside her to become unhappy: “What’s the matter, bro, we apologized and are willing to compensate, don’t be an unreasonable person who can’t stop lecturing.
Who do you think you are?
Is hitting your car an unforgivable sin?”
“How can someone be so arrogant after hitting someone else’s car.” Lu Yi, who had just calmed down, was instantly furious again. freёweɓnovel.com
He had been anxious and nervous for a while, and now his car had been hit.
Obviously, his mood was not good.
The man yelled: “We did hit you, and that was our fault.
Apologizing and compensating you is what we should do.
But even if we don’t apologize and just compensate you, there’s nothing you can do about it, is there?”
It could be seen that the man was trying to protect his girlfriend at all costs, even though he knew he was in the wrong.
But Lu Yi didn’t care about his attitude, and fired back: “Now I know why your girlfriend made a driving mistake.
You were too busy flirting with her while she was driving, isn’t it?
If you had reminded her in time, would she still have hit my car?
What are you good for?”
“What am I good for?
I will show you today.
It’s just a compensation, isn’t it?
I can hit your car a few more times.” The man seemed even angrier than Lu Yi, especially in front of his girlfriend, he couldn’t lose face.
The man got back into the driver’s seat and then reversed the car to create some distance, looking like he really intended to hit it again.
“I don’t believe it.” Lu Yi also put on a fearless pose, but he underestimated his opponent.
The man really started the engine again and drove the car towards him, once again crashing hard into the van.
Although Lu Yi was not in the car this time and didn’t suffer the impact, his anger was like a volcanic eruption.
Taking advantage of the moment when the car stopped after the collision, he rushed over decisively and grabbed the man by the collar.
“Let go of me!” The man was pulled out and directly threw a punch at Lu Yi’s face.
Soon the two were wrestling with each other.

At this time, Gu Fan was calling Lu Yi, but after two calls, no one picked up, preventing him from getting the location.
He had a bad premonition; this was a critical point.
“Lu Yi hasn’t been answering my calls.
Jie, you’d better go check on him quickly.” Gu Fan was very worried, afraid that the assailant might have changed their target to Lu Yi.
Lin Xi realized that there might be trouble: “Oh no, don’t tell me Lu Yi picked the wrong time to slip up.
What should we do next?”
Gu Fan knitted his brows tightly, unsure of how to deal with such a sudden incident.
Without knowing the location, he had no way of knowing whether Zhou Yu had encountered trouble after entering the restroom.
Another awful thing was what Lu Yi had previously mentioned about being careful with men in suits wearing sunglasses.
But the problem was that he had seen several people in the commercial plaza wearing suits.
And sunglasses are easy to take off, meaning it was impossible to identify the enemy or where they were.
“What to do?
What to do?” Gu Fan kept telling himself to stay calm, but he couldn’t come up with any effective countermeasures.
Was he supposed to just wait?
Su Hui was right beside him, carefully observing the movements in the surroundings.
Although this place was remote, there were still occasional passers-by.
People would pass by the corridor from time to time.
No matter who it was, whatever actions they took, they couldn’t escape everyone’s eyesight.
Out of concern, Gu Fan placed a call to Zhou Yu, who was able to answer, indicating that nothing had happened yet.
But Zhou Yu had been in the restroom for quite a while.
First, there was a fight in the movie theater due to romantic entanglements that forced Gu Fan and Du Jun to split up and even called on Jie to join them.
Now, at the most critical moment, they had lost contact with Lu Yi.
How could this not make them anxious?
For a reason he couldn’t grasp, Gu Fan felt that these sudden incidents were not mere coincidences, but meticulously orchestrated.
Yet, how could the enemy know their every move?
“What about the other group?
They should have rendezvoused with us by now.” Just as Gu Fan was growing concerned, he heard a round of gunfire followed by screams.
“What’s going on?
What’s happening?” Gu Fan immediately looked around and to his surprise, saw a bank on the same floor being robbed by masked gunmen.
Their aggressive stance terrified everyone.
More gunshots rang out.
It seemed the bank’s security were engaged in a battle with the robbers.
Gu Fan couldn’t make out exactly what was happening, but he saw the crowd running in every direction, and the security from the commercial plaza rushing in from all sides.
The robbers grabbed their loot and bolted from the bank, shouting as they ran, causing everyone watching to scatter in fear.
The scene left Gu Fan in a daze; he hadn’t anticipated a series of misadventures, much less running into a bank robbery.
Turning around, he saw Su Hui spring into action and couldn’t help but admire her bravery.
However, another unexpected event occurred.
Cornered by the mall security, the panicked robbers ran straight towards Gu Fan.
The college students, terrified by the sight of the armed criminals, hurriedly fled the scene.
“Sister Su, you’re running in the wrong direction.” Gu Fan couldn’t help but smile wryly.
Regardless, he grabbed Lin Xi’s hand and headed towards a safe zone.
Security quickly sealed off the area, not allowing anyone to get too close.
They aimed to close in on the culprits, while medical staff attended to the casualties.
Feeling relieved that they were safe, Gu Fan and Lin Xi received a call from their other group of friends.
They were stuck in an elevator after it was halted due to the bank robbery.
“As long as everyone’s safe.” Gu Fan simply replied as the mall’s public announcement system started broadcasting, “Dear customers, we apologize for the inconvenience.
The recent incident was a planned exercise.
We sincerely apologize for any confusion caused and would like to offer a small gift in exchange for your receipt at a designated location.”
“What?
It was a drill?
It seemed so real!” Gu Fan couldn’t help but complain.
Why conduct the drill today, and not yesterday or tomorrow?
Were they deliberately making things difficult?
Su Hui returned, clearly more vexed than Gu Fan.
“What kind of drill is this, making me run around for nothing!”
“I’m sorry that you didn’t get the chance to play the hero, Sister Su.” Gu Fan sometimes felt that Su Hui enjoyed responding to crises and turning the tides.
“Are you mocking me, kid?” Su Hui huffed, which made Gu Fan embarrassed.
He quickly explained, “No, I absolutely didn’t mean that…
Ah, I should probably check on Zhou Yu in the restroom.
Sister Su, you and Lin Xi stay here.” With that, Gu Fan spun on his heel and dialed Zhou Yu’s number, only to be met with an automated response, “The number you dialed is switched off.”
“What…” Gu Fan froze.
Sensing something was wrong, he dashed to the restroom.
Because the drill was over, the area was no longer sealed.
When he reached the restroom, it was eerily empty.
Zhou Yu was not there, and Gu Fan knew that something had gone terribly wrong.
“You gotta be kidding!” Lin Xi, Du Jun, and the rest sprung into action immediately after receiving the message from Gu Fan, anxiously scanning the bustling crowd.
“Answer the phone, answer the phone, hurry up, hurry up…” Gu Fan was almost frantic.
His worst fears had come true.
Despite all the meticulous planning, they still faced unexpected situations.
The only hope now was with Lu Yi, who knew Zhou Yu’s current location.
But Lu Yi wasn’t answering his phone, which made Gu Fan fear the worst for him.
Unable to reach Lu Yi, Gu Fan tried Jie’s number.
Thank god, Jie answered the phone, “Hello, Gu Fan, we’ve had a slight issue but it’s been taken care of.”
“Zhou Yu is missing, can you guys tell me if he’s still nearby?” Gu Fan’s urgency sent waves of panic to Jie and Lu Yi.
They quickly picked up the dropped phones and found Zhou Yu’s.
After seeing the location, their faces drained of color, “We’re in trouble.
Zhou Yu is far from you.
It looks like he has left the plaza.
We need to chase him down immediately!”
“Damn it!
Bastard!” Amidst his horror, a surge of anger ignited within Gu Fan.
