Chapter 378 Nothing Gained
Immediately afterwards, Li Youquan made an astonishing move. He raised the ankle he had grabbed high and then pulled it hard.
The man obviously did not expect Li Youquan to have such a reaction. He immediately lost his balance and staggered forward.
He stretched out his hands in panic, trying to grab something to steady himself, but Li Youquan had already seen through his intentions.
Li Youquan flashed and squatted cleverly to avoid the opponent's hands. At the same time, he used the force to push the man towards his companion who had been subdued before.
The two of them collided with each other in an instant, fell to the ground and rolled several times before they barely stopped.
Li Youquan took the opportunity to turn around and fled the scene without stopping.
He didn't turn around to look at the expressions of the two men, but his eyes became colder.
While running, his heart was filled with worry about Honghong's safety.
But he also understood that since these people came for him, Honghong should be safe for the time being.
He must leave here as soon as possible and find bargaining chips to balance these people so that he can better protect Honghong.
"Damn it! He got away again! Hurry up and chase him!"
I heard one of the men yelling angrily from behind.
Obviously, they had realized Li Youquan's intentions and plans.
"It's all your fault for talking too much! It would have been better if you had tied him up earlier!"
The other person retorted without giving in.
The two of them started arguing with each other, completely forgetting their current mission and goals.
Li Youquan had disappeared from their sight, leaving only a series of quick and firm footsteps echoing in the air.
The two were about to continue arguing, but suddenly they heard a burst of hurried footsteps coming from the depths of the dark alley, breaking the original atmosphere of confrontation.
Soon, a figure slowly stepped into their sight, and its figure looked even more majestic in the mottled light and shadow.
"Two idiots!"
The man's deep voice was filled with unquestionable anger, as chilling as ice. It instantly changed the expressions of the two men, who were originally on the verge of a fight, as if their throats were strangled by an invisible force.
Before the two men could react, the man had already struck out like lightning. Two crisp slaps echoed in the night sky, followed by burning and humiliation left on the two men's cheeks.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with disbelief and fear, but they could only grit their teeth and lower their heads to endure this sudden punishment.
"I took great pains to arrange you here, but why? Not only did you fail to complete the mission, but you killed each other at this critical moment, allowing the target person to escape. Once he has enough strength and resources, what kind of dilemma we will face, have you ever thought about it?"
The man's voice was deep and powerful, and every word he spoke was like a hammer, striking the hearts of the two men.
His face was livid, and deep in his eyes was a surge of suppressed anger that seemed ready to erupt at any moment.
Faced with such strong pressure, the two men's bodies trembled involuntarily, and their hearts were filled with regret and helplessness.
They knew that they had made an unforgivable mistake, and the man before them would never let them go easily.
"In this world, waste has no survival value."
The man's words were like a verdict, cold and decisive.
He slowly pulled out a black pistol from his waist. The cold gun body gleamed in the sunlight and pointed it directly at the heads of the two men.
At this moment, the air seemed to freeze, with only the two people's rapid breathing and heartbeats echoing in their ears.
"Boss, Boss, please forgive us! We know we were wrong and we won't do it again next time!"
"Boss, please give us another chance. We will go after Li Youquan and bring him back to you."
Faced with the threat of death, the two finally collapsed, fell to their knees, and begged for mercy at the top of their lungs.
However, their begging did not receive any sympathy or mercy.
The man pulled the trigger expressionlessly. "Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots broke the silence in the alley and ended the lives of two people.
Their eyes were wide open, filled with unwillingness and astonishment, and finally they fell powerlessly in a pool of blood.
Li Youquan, who was far away, heard the gunshots, frowned, and thought secretly in his heart.
He realized that this opponent was no ordinary person, and the ruthlessness and decisiveness of his methods were far beyond his imagination.
However, these could not shake his determination.
He knew very well that only by finding the key to balance the opponent as soon as possible could he take the initiative in this contest.
So he quickened his pace, with only one thought in his mind, to get the secret weapon that could decide the outcome as soon as possible.
When he finally got away from the deep and narrow alley, Li Youquan's sight happened to meet Bai Ling who was hurrying over and Meng Qingxiang who was following closely beside her.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the faces of the three of them, adding a touch of warmth to the slightly heavy atmosphere.
Bai Ling's brows were furrowed, and Meng Qingxiang's expression was also unusually solemn. The seriousness on their faces was obvious.
Obviously, previous inquiries did not bring the answers or clues they expected.
"I'm really sorry."
There was a hint of bitter smile in Bai Ling's voice, and behind that smile was an unspeakable sadness.
"We have tried our best and asked all the teachers who might know the situation, but they all said they didn't find any useful clues."
There was a barely perceptible sadness in her eyes. It was not only the heartache caused by the sudden disappearance of Honghong, the lively and lovely little girl, but also the self-blame and loss she felt for not being able to provide more help to Li Youquan.
Seeing this, Meng Qingxiang quickly took over the conversation and told Li Youquan all the information he had obtained from the security guard at the school gate.
"I specifically asked the security guards at the gate, and they all said they didn't notice any signs of Honghong leaving the school, and there was no record of any unusual vehicles entering or leaving during this period."
Upon hearing this, Li Youquan's gaze involuntarily turned towards the direction of the alley again, with a complicated look flashing in his eyes.
He gently covered his eyes and fell into deep thought, as if trying to find a clue from his chaotic thoughts.
"Then what should we do?"
There was a hint of anxiety and uneasiness in Meng Qingxiang's voice.
"Honghong must be very scared now, we must find her as soon as possible!"
His words were full of concern and worry for Honghong. Although he was just an ordinary guard, the deep friendship between him and Honghong made it impossible for him to ignore this matter.
At this moment, Li Youquan suddenly broke the silence. He looked at Bai Ling and spoke in a firm tone.
"Bai Ling, please help me get that document from my office. I already have some clues about who is behind this incident."
