SAS Chapter 8: The First Bodyguard Mission

Nightfall looked slightly stunned at the direction the car was heading. It was towards the suburbs, a route he was very familiar with because it led to his home. He took this route almost every day when he returned home.

The Jinbei van stopped at the entrance of an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. The surroundings were overgrown with weeds due to neglect, and dark forests loomed around. The rustling of leaves and the night insects' chirping made the place eerie and gloomy.

This location was far from the city center and even farther from where Nightfall lived. It was pitch black, with no street lights. In other words, even if someone were murdered here, no one would notice.

The door of the van opened, and two stern-faced men in black pulled Su Yurou out as well.

Seeing the darkness around her, Su Yurou felt even more helpless and afraid.

"Who sent you here? You can tell me now," Su Yurou said, trying to muster her courage despite her fear.

"It's nothing. We just hope Miss Su can act in a movie with us. Yes, the most intense and open kind. I'll be the male lead, and you'll naturally be the female lead. But here, we also have supporting male roles two, three, and four, but there's only one female lead." The black-clad man's eyes kept wandering over Su Yurou's body.

The remaining three men in black chuckled and took out a camera.

"I'll give you money, whatever amount you want. Please, let me go," Su Yurou kept backing away.

"No need to rush about the money. We'll discuss that later. The most important thing now is to shoot the movie," the black-clad man greedily eyed Su Yurou, advancing step by step.

Su Yurou was now certain. It must be someone from the Su family! Trying to force her to hand over her shares through such means.

And doing so would save them a lot of trouble. It wouldn't threaten her life because if she died, the police would definitely intervene in the investigation. By then, the family's stock would plummet significantly. Even if the old folks in the family managed to get some money, it wouldn't be much.

"You don't come over, or I'll bite my tongue and kill myself." Su Yurou, realizing this, resorted to threatening with her life.

The black-clad men were visibly stunned. They didn't expect this girl to be so clever and maintain her composure in such a situation.

"Miss Su, I have to admit you're very clever. But one thing you should know is that we're just doing this for money. Even if you die, there are many reasons that can be explained. Who knows if there will be any accidents? Blame it on your beauty." The black-clad man lunged towards Su Yurou.

Su Yurou closed her eyes in despair. Was she going to die here today?

She was at her most vulnerable right now. How she wished someone would step forward.

But nothing changed, and the black-clad man had already grabbed her arm.

A tear rolled down her face and fell to the ground, dispersing into the dust.

"Hey, you guys are really shameless, bullying a defenseless woman like this?"

Just as Su Yurou was about to bite her tongue, a hearty voice suddenly came from the entrance of the warehouse.

"Who's there?" Everyone's gaze turned towards the sound.

A tall figure slowly walked in from the entrance.

"Nightfall?" After seeing his appearance clearly, Su Yurou felt both shocked and delighted. Delighted that someone finally stood up, shocked that he came alone. There were four people on the opposite side, each armed with a gun.

"Who are you? Kid, you better not meddle, or..." The black-clad man looked warily at Nightfall, raising his hand, aiming the gun at Nightfall.

He couldn't understand why someone would appear here. Although there were people living in the suburbs, this warehouse was quite far from those households, especially at night. It was impossible for anyone to come to such a place.

"Hey, buddy, I advise you not to shoot. When I came, I already called the police. They should arrive in about ten minutes. Right now, what you need to do is to run for your lives." Nightfall pretended to be calm, but he was actually feeling nervous. He worried that these people were desperate characters who would kill him without hesitation and then escape.

However, when it came to the crunch, Nightfall had no choice. He couldn't just stand by and watch Su Yurou suffer harm, so he had to take a gamble.

"I don't care who you are. Now go back and act like you know nothing. I can spare your life, otherwise you will die today without a doubt." Until absolutely necessary, the black-clad men clearly didn't want trouble. After all, they weren't just kidnapping ordinary people. With Su Yurou's fame in Bingzhou, if things escalated, they wouldn't stand a chance of escaping.

Hearing the black-clad men's words, Nightfall knew he had made the right bet.

"Buddy, I don't want to die either, but you took my wife, so I have no choice but to fight you." Nightfall shrugged helplessly.

"My wife? Nonsense, stop trying to fool us." The black-clad man sneered.

They had done a lot of work before kidnapping Su Yurou. Su Yurou currently had no scandals, so how could a husband suddenly appear out of nowhere?

Upon hearing Nightfall claim to be her husband, Su Yurou surprisingly didn't get angry. She even admired Nightfall's courage and audacity a bit. In such a situation, daring to say such things undoubtedly required immense courage. This man had truly surprised her in many ways.

Suddenly!

Countless dust fell from the warehouse's roof, landing directly on the heads of the other three black-clad men.

This was Nightfall's tactic. Before entering, he had quietly sprinkled lime from the back of the warehouse onto the roof. He had wanted to pour water on it later, but finding water in such a remote area was impossible, so Nightfall had to resort to urinating on it instead...

It was now or never!

Nightfall charged at them, and at that moment, countless attack routes flashed through his mind.

"System, I love you!" Nightfall shouted, and his speed increased even more.

Su Yurou, who was nearby, clearly heard Nightfall's voice and thought: Is that his girlfriend's name? System... what a strange name. But in such a situation, for Nightfall to say this, it was enough to prove his deep affection for the "system." It seemed he was a good man.

Su Yurou's evaluation of Nightfall rose another level...

With the help of the system, Nightfall swiftly knocked out the three black-clad men. Then, he quickly moved behind a pillar.

Everything happened too quickly, and the remaining black-clad man frantically raised his gun, searching for Nightfall's figure.

Su Yurou didn't expect Nightfall to be so skilled. She was stunned for a moment but quickly reacted and ran towards the door.

Unable to find Nightfall, the black-clad man aimed his gun at Su Yurou, who was fleeing.

Although killing Su Yurou would complicate things, letting her escape would undoubtedly mean certain death for him. So this was his only choice.

"Bang!"

A gunshot echoed through the wilderness.

A stream of blood splattered, as Nightfall pushed Su Yurou out of harm's way at the critical moment, but he himself fell to the ground.

Watching this familiar scene, tears streamed down Su Yurou's eyes. Seeing Nightfall lying on the ground, she felt intense regret.

When her brother was in the most danger, Nightfall appeared, and when she was most helpless and scared, it was still Nightfall who came. But he paid for it with his life.
