No Where To Run: Trapped With My Archenemy

Chapter 36 - Why Don't You Work For Me?



As the peppy music and waves of laughter of men and women grew louder, Jiu Shao increased his pace while walking through the buzzing crowd inside the bar. 

What seemed to be an ordinary hostess bar from outside gradually turned into an illegal brothel where lustful men came to fulfil their sexual fantasies and pleasures.

"He running some shady business in the name of a bar." Bing Wen unknowingly gasped as he advanced through the long corridors that were flanked by bedrooms. The sultry moans and pungent scent of perfume lingered in the atmosphere, suffocating him while everyone else got ready to entrap Jiu Shao and the other men who were chasing him.

Jiu Shao somehow managed to get out of the bar, stepped into the dark empty alley and almost away from the men, but only to get stuck in front of a huge stone wall. When he figured out that there was no other way to escape, he gritted his teeth in frustration.

All of his calculations had gone wrong when he felt that he got stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea.

The people who followed Jiu Shao halted their steps and looked at him with a triumphant smile as they managed to corner him.

With no other option left, Jiu Shao turned and looked at the men who stood before him.

Those men wore black suits and appeared well groomed for a group of hitmen. 

They didn't look like some thugs who were working for loan sharks. 

"Where are you trying to run away?"  One of them asked as he stood with his hands placed on the pockets.

"I don't know who your brother is, but brother, I got no money with me. Didn't you see it? The business is dull." Even Though Jiu Shao knew that he got cornered by these men, he pretended to be not scared of them as he tried to save some time without allowing them to get close to him.

"We are not here for the money. What we want is you." The rowdy man shook his head and walked closer to Jiu Shao, gradually decreasing the distance.

The moment he heard their words, he felt a chill running down his spine,

He was well aware of the meaning of their statement.

The past few months have been pretty rough for him as he lost money in gambling as well as in his business. With no way to repay his debts, he led a life in seclusion until he managed to pull off some money to revive his debt. Now that he was back in town, these loan sharks are here for the money.

If they said that they came for Jiu Shao, then they plan to kill him and harvest his organs to sell them in the black market as an option to repay his debt.

For a moment, he regretted the fact that he came out without his men.

There is no way he could fight these men and get away with his life.

"I'm saying the truth, brother. We got some new girls, and I'm damn sure those bitches will bring money very soon." Jiu Shao pleaded as he frantically searched for a way to escape. He couldn't let them have their way and loot him at the moment. So he tried his best to stall some time until he found a way.

"Our boss wants to meet you." One of the men demanded as he took a step closer to Jiu Shao, who fidgetted before the door. "Come with us while we are being nice to you."

"Who is your boss?" Jiu Shao inquired when he found something amiss and tried to look for his men who were suposed to be here to save him any minute.

While Jiu Shao cunningly stalled the time, the eagle team waited for their captain's orders to meddle with the situation and get Jiu Shao away from the men. Instead of charging all at once, the entire team were dispersed across the club, blocking the possible exit points.

By the time, Jiu Shao's lackeys, who noticed that their boss was missing from the club, began to look for the man.

"Captain,  we got a movement from the first floor." Shen Junru reported through the earpiece,

"Are they going to fight? Should we ask for backup?" Bing Wen asked in disbelief. Are they going to fight these people barehanded?

"There is no need." Wan Yi Jun instructed in an aloof tone as he kept his eyes focused on Jiu Shao, without any fail, "They are the people whom we were expecting here."

Just as Wan Yi Jun finished, a group of men walked out of the bar's back door as if they came looking for their boss. 

"It seems like we got some unexpected guests, boss?" One of Jiu Shao's men snickered as he hit the iron rod with his other hand and glared at the men who trapped their boss.

Once Jiu Shao saw his footmen walking closer to him, he let out a sigh and sneered at them.

"Yaaa...How long did you guys take to figure out that your boss is in trouble?"

"Sorry, boss. We thought you went out for some fresh air." The man replied as he scanned the men who stood before them.

"Fresh air? Why do I need fresh air?" Jiu Shao hysterically laughed out loud and shifted his eyes towards the thugs as if his fear had vanished into thin air.

"Do you still want to take me?" He asked in a challenging tone and gesturing his men to stay ready to fight.

"We have already told you. We are here on our boss's orders. If our boss wants to meet you, we will make sure to do it." One of the suited men said as without any hesitations,

"Who is your boss? Is he crippled or what? Why can't he come here if he wants to meet me?" Jiu Shao

Suddenly the sound of a gunshot pierced their eardrums, and the masked men immediately took out their guns.

Jiu Shao, who got alarmed by the gunshot, looked in the direction where the sound came.

"It seems like Mr Qin did doubt his friend,"

"Who are you?"

"Oh. you are running a brothel along with the bar?"

A voice was heard from behind along with, the man in the black hoodie, their leader.

He looked at them with his ice-cold eyes and pointed the gun at each other.

It felt that they will have a shooting encounter at any moment from now. arrow in her dreams and real life, it was a gun.

Yes, finally her nightmare is turning into reality.

Is she going to die?

Even before anyone could respond, he pulled the trigger of the gun again.

Li Juan saw the bullet coming towards her. Even before she could react, it pierced her shoulder and Li Juan fell backwards to the river.

"What happened?" The masked men ran towards the river. Where is she? Li Juan was nowhere to be found.

"Who was that man?" One of them searched for the man who shot Li Juan.

He is also missing from the scene.

"Where did he go?"

That suspicious-looking man disappeared from their eyesight in a moment.

"Call boss!"

One of the men dialled his phone. The other man immediately snatched the phone and cut the call.

He looked at his partner with confused eyes.

"What are you going to say to the boss? Are you going to say that we failed to catch a puny little girl?"

"What are you suggesting?"

"That girl is dead; we shot her and dumped her into the river."

"But what if?"

ven before anyone could respond, he pulled the trigger of the gun again.

Li Juan saw the bullet coming towards her. Even before she could react, it pierced her shoulder and Li Juan fell backwards to the river.

"What happened?" The masked men ran towards the river. Where is she? Li Juan was nowhere to be found.
