Chapter 334: Theater Gunfight
Chapter 334: Theater Gunfight
This publicity event and speech lasted for more than an hour and was finally coming to an end. Chen Xiangling, who was doing the finishing work backstage, suddenly noticed a few sneaky people at the entrance and exit of the theater.
This made her feel something was wrong. When she looked at the audience below, she found a few people who were obviously out of tune with the rest of the audience. These people looked nervous and alert, and kept observing the stage and the audience.
She immediately found Lao Shi, the middle-aged man who had come with Lao Lin, and whispered, "Lao Shi, I feel something's wrong. This place might have been targeted by spies! Look at the entrance and exit, and those people in the middle of the audience. Are there any signs of trouble?"
Lao Shi was shocked after hearing this. He quickly lifted the curtain to look at the entrance and exit of the theater, and then looked at the position among the audience. His heart skipped a beat. With his experience, he immediately concluded that those people standing at the entrance and exit were spies!
Old Shi feigned composure and said to Chen Xiangling, "Comrade Chen, don't panic. This is the concession. Even the spies wouldn't dare arrest anyone openly. We still have a chance to evacuate... Let me create chaos, and you go and secretly notify Old Lin. If chaos breaks out, have Old Lin evacuate immediately, and you cover for him!"
Chen Xiangling immediately objected: "No, Lao Shi, if you do that, you'll become a sitting duck. The spies' attention will all be drawn to you, and you'll be in great danger!"
Lao Shi said in a firm tone: "Comrade Xiao Chen, there is no time, and I have more life experience and experience in dealing with emergencies than you do. Execute it immediately!"
After saying that, he pulled out a pistol and a grenade from his waist, handed the grenade to Chen Xiangling, then loaded the pistol himself, hid it behind his back, and walked towards the theater entrance.
Chen Xiangling was secretly anxious, but she could only act according to Lao Shi's plan.
When Lao Lin, who was giving a speech on the stage, saw Chen Xiangling secretly gesturing to him to evacuate during the chaos, he was shocked and knew that it was very dangerous here, but he still pretended to be calm and continued with his speech until it ended perfectly, which aroused warm applause from the audience.
As the applause continued, Lao Shi had already walked to the theater entrance, took out the pistol behind him and fired three shots at the three spies at the entrance: "Bang, bang, bang!"
Because of the tension, only one shot hit a spy, and the other two shots missed.
The sudden gunshots made the applause in the theater suddenly disappear, followed by a large number of shrill screams and chaos. After everyone came to their senses, they screamed and ran towards the entrance or exit.
None of the spies expected that the person they were about to capture would open fire first to create chaos. When Lao Shi's figure appeared in the sight of other spies, the nearby spies surrounded Lao Shi. They squeezed through the surging crowd and shot at Lao Shi.
Lao Shi hid on the bench and shot at the spies who surrounded him.
Seeing the chaos on the stage, Lao Lin immediately turned around and ran backstage.
"Catch him!" Inoue Toshio pushed aside the two spectators blocking his way and pointed at Lao Lin's back and shouted.
Two spies who were near the stage immediately rushed over. As soon as they climbed onto the stage, Chen Xiangling, who was supporting and covering Lao Lin, immediately lifted the curtain, raised her pistol and fired two shots at them: "Pah pah"
One spy was shot and fell on the spot. The other one was not hit, but was also scared to death. He immediately lay on the stage and fired back with a gun: "Bang bang" two shots in a row.
Chen Xiangling immediately hid behind the curtain to cover Lao Lin's quick evacuation through the back door.
"Lao Lin, wait a minute!" Chen Xiangling called out to Lao Lin.
Lao Lin stopped and turned around to ask, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
Chen Xiangling walked up to Lao Lin and immediately took out a bunch of hair from her makeup box and glued it to Lao Lin's lips to make the shape of two mustaches. She then used makeup products to fiddle with his face a few times. At this moment, his appearance had changed a lot.
"Okay, let's go! There's a good chance there are spies ambushing and blocking the back door. Let's pretend to be a frightened couple and escape out the back door!"
"Okay, let's go!" Lao Lin agreed with Chen Xiangling's plan.
The couple, dressed as frightened audience members, had just come out of the back door when they ran head-on into the two spies who were blocking the way.
"stop!"
"What are we doing? There are gunshots in the theater and people are dead. Let us go!" Chen Xiangling said this in a panic while pushing away the people blocking the way.
The two spies who were blocking the road saw that these two people seemed to be genuinely frightened spectators, not underground party members. As they were hesitating, they heard hurried footsteps from behind.
At this time, Chen Xiangling and Lao Lin knew that things were not going well and they had to act decisively. They drew their pistols almost at the same time and took on one spies at a time. With two gunshots, the two spies blocking the road fell down, and the two men immediately stepped over their bodies and ran towards the exit of the alley.
Just as I ran to the entrance of the alley, several armed agents chased out from the back door.
Seeing this, Lao Lin said to Chen Xiangling, "Run separately. Whoever survives counts. We can't all be caught!"
Chen Xiangling immediately said, "Lao Lin, you run first, I'll cover you!"
"You're so confused! I never thought my life was more important than yours. Listen to me and run separately, or it will be too late. Go!"
Chen Xiangling had no choice but to grit her teeth and turn to run to the right, while Lao Lin also turned and ran to the left.
Not long after the two groups separated, five secret agents chased to the entrance of the alley. Inoue Shunsei turned his head and glanced left and right, then immediately ordered: "Two people follow me to chase Lin Chaoyang, and the other two go after that woman!"
"Hi!"
At this time, the audience in the theater were almost running away, but Lao Shi was blocked in the theater by the spies. Both sides used the benches in the theater for cover and shot at each other.
However, Lao Shi had limited bullets, and it wasn't long before he was pinned down behind a row of benches.
He pulled out the magazine and took a look, and there was only one bullet left.
After sighing, he knew that his final moment had come.
After closing his eyes and preparing himself mentally, he stood up resolutely, raised his gun and shot at a spy hiding at the door: "Bang!"
"Bang, bang, bang..." Several pistols fired at him at the same time.
Lao Shi was shot as expected.
"Cease fire, cease fire, capture them alive!" a spy shouted.
But at this time, Lao Shi had been hit by several bullets, and a large amount of blood was oozing out of his body. His eyes were dazed and he fell to the ground with a thud.
The spies rushed up and pointed their guns at Lao Shi. The leading agent immediately squatted down to check Lao Shi.
"Hurry, carry him away and rush him to the hospital for emergency treatment. Maybe he can be saved!"
