C1 Between Life and Death

"There's not a single dish in the fridge. Are you trying to starve me? Forget it, let's go out and buy some things from the supermarket.

Seeing the empty refrigerator, Hu Mei couldn't help but sigh.

At the company, there will always be a busy time when working overtime, Hu Mei did not have the time to cook.

However, when he returned home for the night, the empty house was not as hot as he had imagined.

Although Hu Mei was not an orphan, she was still pretty much the same as an orphan.

His mother had gone away to some other place, and his father had died suddenly and prematurely. Little Hu Mei had no one to take care of her and had lived in an orphanage for a period of time.

Now that she was an adult, she had learned many things and was able to take care of herself.

Seeing the empty refrigerator, Hu Mei walked out of the door towards the supermarket.

She lived in a remote alley with no street lights.

In a dark alley, Hu Mei was carefully supporting herself against the wall as she walked.

She had been living here for a long time and was familiar with the light vehicles, so she didn't need to use her cellphone to light up the area.

At this moment, the conversation of the man sounded out from the middle of the alley in front of them, causing Hu Mei to stop in shock.

She carefully attached herself to the wall and took two steps back, disappearing into the darkness of the portal.

"Gu Huainan, today is the day you die, haha. I let you keep stepping on my head, now you know to regret it! "

"Why is it you?!"

"Hmph, leave those words to your damned parents!"

"Pah!"

With a gunshot, Hu Ya did not dare to let out a single breath as she quietly leaned against the wall and listened to the commotion.

The low sound of her body hitting the ground made Hu Mei's heart skip a beat.

Then she heard some men talking in low voices, but because they were too far away she couldn't hear what they were saying.

"Boss, don't we need to worry about him?"

The sound of chaotic footsteps rang out. It seemed like he had to leave. One of them, who looked like a lackey, asked carefully what the man who was shot had to do with it.

"If you want to stay and collect his corpse, then do it yourself. Let's go!"

The man snorted coldly, as if giving a crisp slap to the lackey. Following that, footsteps sounded, and the alley quickly became silent again.

After another ten minutes, Hu Mei was sure that no one would come back, so she bravely walked over.

When she reached the middle of the alley, she carefully opened her phone. Using the faint blue light, she could clearly see the man lying on the ground with his back facing the sky.

So much blood!

All that could be seen was blood on his face, causing Hu Mei to bite her lips in fear. But soon after, she was surprised to find that the man's eyes were still open.

Seeing the light of Hu Mei's phone, his lips moved, but in the end, he did not say anything and just closed his eyes.

Is he dead?

Hu Mei was shocked and quickly reached out her hand to touch that man's breath.

Fortunately, even though his breathing was weak, he still had it. Otherwise, if Hu Mei was facing a corpse, she might scream out.

Looking at the man's appearance, Hu Mei hesitated. Right now, she was the only person in the alley. In such a remote area, it was unlikely anyone would pass by in the middle of the night.

If he were to ignore him, this man would probably die here without a sound very soon!

However, if they were to call the police, it sounded like those people had strong backgrounds as well. What would happen if they were set on fire?

Gritting her teeth, Hu Mei's gaze swept towards the public phone outside the alley.

She sighed to herself and hurried over to call 120 and the police.

Then, as if nothing had happened, he quickly returned to the house.

"I'll help you call the ambulance and I'll help you call the police. Next, we will see if you are lucky enough to win! "

In the dark room, Hu Meisei was curled up on the bed, with no appetite left.
