Net King Whale Fall

Chapter 669 Why You

Ah-da's warning didn't come out of thin air. After living a comfortable life for too long, Sanada Rin was suddenly faced with a hail of bullets and a critical moment of life and death, so it was inevitable that he would have some emotional fluctuations.

My heart was beating slightly faster, and my blood was rushing to my limbs, giving me a vague feeling of excitement.

Sanada Rin isn't courting death, nor is she afraid of it. She'll act within appropriate boundaries rather than cowering in a corner waiting for someone to rescue her.

Japan's control over timber is not as strict as China's, but it's not like the United States where you can buy it at will. Such a large-scale purchase has directly put them on the front page of the news, showing their recklessness.

Sanada Rin put on her glasses and used the mirror to search for the sniper's trajectory, reminding herself that once this matter was resolved, she must apply for a firearm, otherwise it would be too inconvenient.

Sanada Rin knew the other party's location, but she had nothing in her hands and couldn't deal with them.

Tsk.

Bullets continued to hit the surrounding buildings, and the streets became increasingly chaotic, filled with screams and cries.

While ensuring her own safety, Sanada Rin helped a child who had fallen to the ground to his feet, saying, "Don't cry, run!"

The child was quite frightened by the sudden change in his surroundings, but he subconsciously obeyed the older sister's words, and after regaining his balance, he ran towards the crowd.

There was also a girl who twisted her ankle while wearing high heels, and her boyfriend who abandoned her and ran away alone; he must have been her ex.

Sanada Rin never delved into human nature; he simply helped the girl up, told her to "take off her shoes and run with the flow of people."

The girl's face was streaked with tears. "What...what are you going to do?"

Sanada Rei gave her a push, "Stop dawdling, run!"

These people are after her; if they run with you, you're really doomed.

The girl glanced at Sanada Rei one last time, as if to remember her, then threw down her shoe and limped away.

Just then, Sanada Rin suddenly sensed something was wrong. Alarm bells rang in her mind, and without hesitation, she ducked and turned to the side. The bullet grazed her ear, ruffled a few strands of hair, and finally pierced the lamppost.

Sanada Rei's eyes darkened. There were two snipers, and from this angle, they were aiming for her head, determined to kill her with a single shot.

Sanada Rin took cover behind her, but it was a bit of a problem. There were several cars around her. If she were a sniper, and her first shot failed, she would choose to shoot at the car's fuel tank. At such close range, it would be impossible for her to escape unscathed after the explosion.

The current approach is to charge through and survive with minimal damage, a point that Sanada Rin doesn't mind.

Judging from the trajectory of the bullet, this shot will at most hit her arm, with an error margin at her waist, which is within her tolerance range. Okay, let's take the gamble.

boom--
The faint hissing sound of a bullet entering a body rang in her ears. For a second, Sanada Rei had a blank memory; she had never, ever imagined facing a scene like this.

The once ambiguous scent of roses is now tainted with the stench of blood, a testament to the passing of life.

Keigo Atobe, who should have been studying abroad, returned at some point and, by sheer coincidence, witnessed this thrilling scene.

Having been by Sanada Rin's side for so long, Atobe Keigo can sometimes guess what Sanada Rin is planning. For example, right now, he knows that Sanada Rin is once again putting himself in danger.

His body reacted faster than his brain. He had experienced this countless times in his dreams: if Sanada Rin were in danger right in front of him, what should he do? Time and time again, it had become a conditioned reflex.

Because of the pain, Atobe Keigo's voice was a little unsteady, "Let's go."

In just a second, Sanada Rei reacted immediately. Taking advantage of the moment, she grabbed Atobe Keigo's arm and hid in the safe blind spot she had previously chosen.

The weather was still a bit chilly at the beginning of spring, but Atobe Keigo, always looking stylish, wore only a thin trench coat and a white shirt.

Nowadays, the white shirt starts to spread from the waist, gradually turning into blood red, which is shocking and glaring.

Sanada Rin quickly helped him stop the bleeding; given the location and the amount of bleeding, she was worried that it might damage his organs.

Sanada Rei's expression changed. "Why...?"

Atobe Keigo grasped Sanada Rin's blood-stained fingers. He was in pain and wanted to lend her some strength, and also to stop Sanada Rin from voicing her doubts.

Keigo Atobe forced a smile. "We just... had a fight." I love you more than anyone else. How could I possibly ignore you just because we had a fight?

It's even more impossible for me to just stand by and watch you fall in front of me again.

Due to family circumstances, Keigo Atobe had experienced many dangerous kidnappings and extortions since childhood, but this was the first time he had ever been shot.

Keigo Atobe could clearly feel his blood draining away and his body growing colder and colder. So this was what it felt like to be shot.

Sanada Rin gripped his hand tightly. She knew, she knew exactly what Atobe Keigo hadn't finished saying.

“I taught you, but you didn’t listen.”

Atobe Keigo's vision blurred and he could barely see clearly. He simply whispered, "You lied to me again... Let's even this time, okay?"

Atobe Keigo thought to himself that he finally understood how it hurt; you never know how much it hurts until you experience it yourself.

Atobe Keigo was also afraid that he wouldn't wake up after collapsing, so he kept saying, "I'm no worse than them, I can protect you too."

"From now on... don't do anything to hurt yourself, even if it's for my sake."

"Don't try to fool me, I can tell."

Sanada Rin's expression was gloomy, but a few traces of pain surfaced in her eyes. "Don't say anything more."

Atobe Keigo couldn't hear him and kept rambling on, "It was wrong of me to argue with you."

"You...cough, you have no problem at all. It's my fault. It's me. I was too petty."

"You shouldn't...don't change yourself for anyone."

If he really doesn't wake up, Atobe Keigo also has his own selfish motives, very selfish ones: "You can't, you can't forget me."

Keigo Atobe wasn't that magnanimous. Even if he really died, he couldn't bring himself to wish Sanada Rin would meet someone better in the future and then forget his existence.

In that case, even if Atobe Keigo dies, he won't find peace; his coffin lid won't close properly.

"We're practically... sworn brothers, I'm no less than any of them."

Sanada Rei's fingers trembled uncontrollably. "Stop talking, let's go to the hospital."

"You're great, you don't need to compare yourself to anyone."

Keigo Atobe opened his eyes with all his might and stared intently at Rei Sanada. "Perhaps... I just want to prove one thing."

“I am qualified to stand next to you.”

Atobe Keigo extended his other hand and placed it on Sanada Rin's cheek. "I hope you can... look me in the eye."

"..."

"Don't forget me... Don't like anyone else, no one at all."

And also, "You're not allowed to get hurt again..."

The sound grew weaker and weaker until it finally disappeared.

Sanada Rin's hand trembled twice before she finally felt the carotid artery, and there it was, still pulsating.

The best-case scenario is that he will fall into a coma due to excessive blood loss and need to go to the hospital immediately. Sanada Rin refused to think about the worst-case scenario.

Meanwhile, Ah-Da met up with Atobe Keigo's bodyguard in a blind spot, ignoring the bodyguard's despairing expression.

Ah Da had a general understanding of the situation and whispered, "One died, and one escaped."
