Chapter 755 Here Comes Veronica (118)
Surrounding them were the people who had been following them.
Four of them were bruised and swollen. Weren't they the four people who were beaten up by Veronica and Raymond in the haunted house? They actually ran over without caring about their injuries. One of them pointed at Veronica and Raymond and shouted, "Someone just said that the two slipped into the church. Am I right?"
The people surrounding them added up to about ten people.
Raymond and Veronica looked warily at the people around them. Raymond pinched Veronica's hand and turned his head to whisper, "In a while, I will clear a path for you. Take the opportunity to escape."
"No!" Veronica gripped his hand tightly and raised her head to look into Raymond's eyes. "How can I leave you behind and escape alone? If you want to leave, then leave together. Besides, I won't drag you down!"
Raymond saw the stubbornness in Veronica's eyes and did not continue to say anything.
"Then you must be careful."
"Alright!"
When the surrounding passers-by saw this scene, they knew that Raymond and Veronica were in trouble. One by one, the passers-by scattered in all directions, afraid of being caught in the crossfire. Only a few bold people were watching from afar.
Those people had black snake marks on the back of their hands, and it was easy to know that those people were gangsters.
One of them stared at Raymond and Veronica with a dangerous expression.
"Mr. Cordova, Mr. Steven invites you to come with us."
"What if I refuse?" Raymond smiled coldly without any expression.
The men put on a smile in ridicule and said, "Mr. Cordova, to avoid unnecessary casualties, you'd better follow us obediently. Otherwise... If we accidentally hurt the beauty behind you, it would be bad. Don't you agree?"
Veronica furrowed her brows.
The gangster used her to threaten Raymond.
Raymond stood in front of Veronica and instructed without turning his head, "When the fight starts later, step back and leave this to me."
Veronica looked at his back worriedly. "Can you?"
After all, there were so many people on the other side.
Raymond scoffed, "Looking down on me?"
Veronica did not say anything else. It seemed that this was the only way. With her fighting skills, it was impossible for her to deal with the gangsters in front of her. She could only give Raymond more trouble. After a while, Raymond opened his mouth and said, "Veronica, retreat!"
Veronica quickly retreated. When she retreated to a safe place, the two sides began to fight.
At this time, Veronica finally saw Raymond's back. Almost everyone who got close to him would be sent flying like a rake. Veronica, who was standing at the side, felt her blood boil. She even clapped the rhythm for Raymond in her heart.
Because the gangsters couldn't defeat Raymond, one of them saw Veronica, who was watching the battle from the side, and carefully avoided Raymond, walking towards Veronica.
When Veronica discovered that someone was approaching her, the gangster was already in front of her. Veronica saw that the gangster was holding a knife in his hand and quickly dodged the gangster's attack. Then, she stepped on the back of the gangster's foot and smashed the gangster's head with the bag in her hand.
Veronica's bag was made of hard material, and the buckle on it was made of metal. When she smashed the gangster, the metal on the bag just happened to hit the gangster's skull. After a few consecutive hits, the gangster actually fell down.
Seeing that the gangster had fallen, Veronica heaved a sigh of relief.
Raymond had knocked all the gangsters down, and when he noticed the situation behind him, he quickly came forward and grabbed Veronica's hand.
"Are you alright?"
Veronica shook her head and smiled. "I'm fine."
She was just a little scared.
Raymond stretched out his hand to touch Veronica's face. Suddenly, he discovered something in the crowd not far away. There was something that shone the silvery white cold light under the moonlight. It was aimed at them.
Raymond recognized what it was at a glance.
It was a gun! Someone pointed a gun at Veronica's head. Raymond's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately pushed Veronica away.
Raymond suddenly pushed Veronica away. Veronica was still puzzled, but in the next second, her hand was grabbed by Raymond. They ran away.
Finally, Raymond saw the familiar face of his subordinates, and he stopped. The person behind Raymond did not chase because he saw so many people. The person hid in the crowd and quickly disappeared. "Raymond, why are you pulling me along?" Veronica panted as she ran. She finally stood still and asked Raymond.
Through the lights by the roadside, Veronica saw that Raymond's white shirt had been stained with blood at some point. That blood-stained area was still expanding, and Raymond's face was paler. What was going on here?
"Raymond, why is there blood on your shirt?" Veronica stared at the blood stain on Raymond's chest.
One of his subordinates had walked up and happened to support Raymond's tottering body.
Raymond looked at Veronica with a smile. His pale lips curled up slightly. "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Veronica's lips trembled, and her voice trembled. "How could you be fine? You're bleeding, and... You're bleeding so much. Where did you get hurt? How did you get hurt?"
The person who supported Raymond saw Raymond's injury at a glance. "Mr. Cordova is suffering from a gunshot. He must be sent to the hospital immediately!" A gunshot wound!
Veronica clearly didn't see anyone shooting a gun just now. How could Raymond be shot?
She suddenly remembered that Raymond had suddenly pushed her away. Then, he pulled her and ran wildly. Did Raymond get shot at that time?
The First People's Hospital was the nearest hospital to them. Raymond was sent here and was immediately pushed into the emergency room.
Veronica and Raymond's subordinates were waiting outside the emergency room.
They were very anxious while waiting.
Veronica sat on the cold bench in
the hospital. Her knees were crossed, and her hands were tightly clasped on her knees. Her pale face could not hide her worry. Her eyes were fixed on the door of the emergency room.
As time passed, her heart could not help but sink.
Veronica murmured in her heart, 'Raymond, you must be fine. You must be fine.'
'I just learned the truth. I know you are the boy from back then. You can't be so cruel. You just told me the truth. How can you leave me?'
'Raymond! Raymond!'
Veronica sat there for a long time.
Suddenly, someone patted her shoulder. It turned out to be the subordinate of Raymond who had sent Raymond to the hospital. He took a glass of water and handed it
toeronica.
"Ms. Luke, drink some water!"
Veronica heard others call him Lyon.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Veronica shook her head, and her pale lips trembled. "Lyon, thank you. I don't want to drink. I'm not thirsty."
Lyon didn't force Veronica either.
Veronica suddenly thought of something. "By the way, how did you get there to find us?"
Lyon stared at Veronica's face and hesitated before saying. "I can't tell you the specific reason. However, the people who chased you before were from the Black Snake Gang. They didn't bring guns."
