The moment the woman was pinned down by Edgar Austin, she originally wanted to slap Edgar Austin, but before her slap landed on Edgar Austin's face, the sparks from the bullet hitting the cement floor entered. Her sight. At that moment she seemed to understand what was happening. She suddenly hugged Edgar Austin and turned over suddenly, so that she was on top and Edgar Austin was on the bottom.
The man is on the bottom and the woman is on top. The woman's good figure is on display, and there is also a touch of black lace bottom. This proud figure was clearly displayed in front of Edgar Austin, making him even more nervous.
The woman's legs suddenly exerted force and rolled Edgar Austin to a flower stand on the side.
puff! The two of them had just rolled behind the flower stand when a cloud of sparks flew up from the place where they had just stayed. A bullet changed direction after hitting the road and shattered the window glass of a merchant on the roadside.
Edgar Austin was suddenly startled into a cold sweat on his forehead.
The sidewalk suddenly became a mess. Some people were running, some were lying down, and some were shouting.
With the flower bed as a cover, Edgar Austin and the woman were much safer for the time being.
"Who are you?" The woman's voice was as cold as her own.
Edgar Austin was stunned for a moment, "I don't know you. I just saw someone aiming a gun at you. In a moment of panic, I knocked you down."
"I've seen that building too. It was so far away and at night, I couldn't see clearly, but you saw it. How did you see it?" The woman looked straight at Edgar Austin with sharp eyes. It seems to be able to penetrate people's souls.
Edgar Austin's ability to see the sniper on the rooftop of the opposite building was of course due to the ability of his left eye. His left eye could not only see through people and objects, but also bring distant objects closer, allowing him to see more clearly. In fact, he not only saw the sniper, if the sniper hadn't covered most of his face with a baseball cap, he could even see the sniper clearly!
"Answer my question!" The woman's voice became much harsher.
The ability of the left eye is a secret. Of course Edgar Austin will not tell the woman in front of him, not to mention her attitude has already made him very uncomfortable. "I saw it when I saw it. It happened by chance. What's so strange about this? Also, you Do you plan to ride on me all the time?”
Only then did the woman realize that she was still pressing on Edgar Austin, and her face was almost touching his. She climbed down from Edgar Austin's body in embarrassment, but she didn't dare to show her head, so she just lay down next to Edgar Austin. She also reminded Edgar Austin, "Lie down and don't move."
Edgar Austin didn't move. He didn't want to experience the feeling of being shot in the head. He also began to regret rescuing the person on impulse. He didn't even know the person's name. Wouldn't it be bad if the sniper thought he and she were on the same team?
"Thank you for saving me just now." The woman extended a hand to Edgar Austin, "My name is Julianna."
Just when she thought that she didn't even know her name, she introduced herself. Edgar Austin felt a little more balanced. He reached out and shook Julianna's hand, "My name is Edgar Austin."
"Where are you from?"
Edgar Austin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Haizhu City, what about you?"
"Actually, I knew he was from the mainland when we were in the casino just now."Julianna said, "I'm from Kyoto."
"Why did that sniper want to kill you?"Edgar Austin looked at her, he really wanted to know this.
Julianna frowned slightly, "You don't need to know this."
At this time, several police cars roared over, their piercing sirens coming closer and closer. The sound made people nervous.
"He has left."Julianna said suddenly.
"How do you know?"Edgar Austin didn't believe it. He became more and more curious about Julianna's identity.
"No reason, just experience."Julianna said.
Edgar Austin climbed forward two meters, carefully poked half of his head out from the side of the flower stand, and glanced at the top of the building opposite. The sniper is no longer there. I don't know when he left.
"Do you believe me now?"Julianna got up from the ground and patted the dust on her evening dress.
"What exactly do you do?"Edgar Austin knew very well that the woman in front of her was no ordinary woman. It was very simple. She already knew that the sniper had left based on her experience. If she were an ordinary woman, she would have such experience. and confidence?
Julianna said: "If you have the chance, you will know. Now you go quickly, you don't have a pass, you will be in trouble if you are caught."
Edgar Austin was very surprised and secretly thought: "Isn't this woman's eyesight too poisonous?"
"Wait a minute, this is my business card. If you need any help from me, just call the number on this card."Julianna said.
Edgar Austin took a look at the business card Julianna handed him. There was nothing on it except her name and phone number. He secretly thought in his heart that people are strange, even the printed business cards are strange. Although he thought this in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, "That's it, I'll treat you to tea another day."
Julianna said: "Don't get me wrong, I just want to return your favor."
Edgar Austin's smile suddenly froze on his face. He shrugged awkwardly, then turned and left.
As soon as he left, several police cars parked on the side of the road. The police officers who got out of the car were all holding guns and using the police car as a cover, looking around nervously. They obviously don't know the situation yet.
Julianna looked up at the building across the road and the rooftop, but all she saw was a blurry outline. She couldn't even see the guardrails on the edge of the rooftop, let alone the people hiding on it.
Julianna withdrew her gaze. She looked at the direction Edgar Austin left and was stunned for a while before she said, "My eyesight is 2.0, the best. I can't even see the situation above. How did he see it?" Could it be that his vision exceeds 2.0? How is this possible? Also, his behavior in the casino was so strange... I must check this guy's background!"
Edgar Austin couldn't hear what Julianna said. He called a car and headed straight to the port.
When he came, he only had more than 9,000 yuan. When he returned, he already had 210,000 yuan. This money is nothing in the eyes of those rich people, but to him it is a very precious wealth. He can pay Brynlee Austin's tuition and use the remaining money to do some small business or improve his life or something. It will be of great use.
When he stepped onto the port of Haizhu City, Edgar Austin woke up his cell phone. Then he saw several missed calls from Ma Xiaoan, and he smiled, "The fat man must have gone to the hospital to see me. He learned that I was discharged and couldn't find me, so he was worried about me, right? I'll buy him one later. iphone6plus makes him happy too.”
Edgar Austin himself uses a domestically produced mobile phone, which is very cheap, but he is very kind to his friends, loyal and willing to give up.
While waiting for the bus on the side of the road, Edgar Austin dialed Kaiden Barlow's phone, "Hello? Kaiden, it's me, Edgar, where are you now? I'll come find you, let's go have a beer."
"Drink...drink..."Kaiden Barlow's voice came from the phone, intermittent, as if something was stuffed in his mouth, "Drink your...your head, I'm...in...the hospital." "
"Are you in the hospital?"Edgar Austin was startled. "What's wrong with you? What happened? Which hospital are you in?"
"In...the hospital you left...you...come...be careful...don't be discovered..." Before he could finish his sentence, Kaiden Barlow began to pant.
"Wait for me, I'll be right over!"Edgar Austin hung up the phone and waved to an approaching taxi.
Half an hour later, Edgar Austin arrived at the hospital he had just left this morning. He went to the nurse's station to ask, and then found the ward where Kaiden Barlow was.
Kaiden Barlow's head, hands and legs were all wrapped with gauze, and the exposed half of his face was swollen like a bun. It looked like he had been beaten badly.
"Kaiden An, tell me, who did this?"Edgar Austin felt anxious and angry.
Kaiden Barlow smiled bitterly, "Who else... could it be?"
Edgar Austin suddenly thought of someone, "Is it Anderson Chambers?"
Kaiden Barlow nodded, and then he told what happened intermittently.
It turned out that when Anderson Chambers met Kaiden Barlow in the hospital, he originally wanted to beat Kaiden Barlow, and then asked Kaiden Barlow to take him and his men to Edgar Austin's house to find Edgar Austin. But he didn't expect that some of his men were so cruel that they beat Kaiden Barlow until he vomited blood and couldn't walk. Anderson Chambers left with a few of his men, but Kaiden Barlow was lying on the bed in this hospital.
"Asshole! Who gave him the right to do this? Is there no law in his eyes? Is there no one in this world to deal with evil people like him?" After hearing what Kaiden Barlow said, Edgar Austin couldn't control himself His emotions hit the hospital bed with a punch.
"Law?"Kaiden Barlow smiled bitterly: "Edgar, you know... did that guy Anderson Chambers leave anything after he beat me? He said that his uncle is the chief of the police station and welcomes us at any time. Go sue him.”
Edgar Austin said angrily: "His uncle is the chief of the police station, can he do whatever he wants?"
"I called the police... A policeman came to ask about the situation, asked a few casual questions and left... He had no intention of pursuing Anderson Chambers at all..."Kaiden Barlow said: "Later, an... old doctor Tell me, Anderson Chambers’s uncle is called Sebastian, and he is the chief of the police station in this area. Anderson Chambers is constantly working on projects in this area. In fact, Sebastian takes the lead, and Anderson Chambers is just an errand boy. The two have interests, one has people, and the other has power. Both black and white take it all, we can't fight others... Be careful, he said you blackmailed him for 10,000 medical expenses, and he wants you to compensate for the welding machine and transformer... Edgar, take Brynlee Austin and hide out for a few days. Bar."
"Hide? Why should we hide? I was injured on his construction site. If I hadn't been lucky, my eyes would have been blind. Can 10,000 yuan buy my eyes? Also, he beat you into a In this way, this is his crime, not you, nor Brynlee Austin and I, why should we hide? Not only will I not hide, I will seek justice for you!"Edgar Austin became more and more excited as he spoke.
"Edgar...you...listen to me..."Kaiden Barlow said anxiously: "Forget it...forget it, I'm fine."
"Don't worry about this. You can heal your injuries here without any worries."Edgar Austin said.
At this time, a nurse came in. She glanced at Edgar Austin and said, "Are you a family member of Bed 19? Can you please pay the owed medicine fee, otherwise the pharmacy will not pick up the medicine."
"How much is owed?"Edgar Austin knew that Anderson Chambers didn't even pay a penny for medical expenses without asking.
"You owe one thousand two thousand, but you still need medication for follow-up treatment. I suggest you pay a little more, preferably seven thousand," the nurse said.
"Money...I will find a way... Edgar, don't worry about it."Kaiden Barlow grinned in pain.
"I'll pay you eight thousand, and you take better care of my friend."Edgar Austin said, then took the bed card to pay.
Kaiden Barlow's eyes suddenly became moist, "Edgar, don't... that's the money you paid for Brynlee Austin... tuition..."
Edgar Austin had already walked out the door without even looking back.
