Chapter 542 Yu Manli's Moment of Life and Death

When his suspicions became reality, Ye Shaohong was afraid.

He shouted urgently as he lunged toward where Yu Manli was.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Gunfire continued incessantly in the alley.

Hearing the shouts behind her, Yu Manli hid behind an ancient tree and turned around.

Upon seeing Ye Shaohong, her face first lit up with joy, but then a look of fear and worry appeared on her face.

"Shao Hong, don't come any closer."

"Hide now!"

To cover Ye Shaohong's escape, Yu Manli, after a brief shout, went all out and actually stood up from where she was hiding.

He repeatedly pulled the trigger, hoping to suppress the enemy's firepower and create an opportunity for Ye Shaohong to escape.

But she was all alone.

Across the alley, there were four or five enemies.

Yu Manli's single gun was simply not enough to completely suppress the enemy's firepower. As the gunshot rang out again, Yu Manli's body trembled and she immediately fell to the ground.

At the same time, Ye Shaohong, who was running rapidly towards them, also felt a weight on his shoulder.

He then collapsed to the ground.

Ye Shaohong was shot.

Fortunately, the bullet only hit Ye Shaohong's arm, passing right through his flesh without damaging the bone.

It wouldn't endanger Ye Shaohong's life. The pain from the bullet piercing his body made Ye Shaohong frown.

But he didn't even glance at it.

As soon as his body landed, Ye Shaohong rolled away and hid behind the corner of the wall. Then he lay down, gritted his teeth, and slowly climbed toward where Yu Manli was.

"Manli, Manli, hang in there, I'm coming."

"Hang on."

"You still want to have my child, right? You need to live to have that chance."

Amidst his hoarse shouts, Ye Shaohong, seemingly possessed, crawled more than ten meters across the ground, leaving a trail of crimson blood as he climbed.

In this way, Ye Shaohong gradually climbed up to the side of a corpse.

This corpse was also a field agent for the Special Operations Department. He was shot between the eyebrows.

The other party was a very good shot; he killed the operative with a single shot, leaving the dead operative's eyes still open.

Anger was still visible on his face.

However, these were not the things Ye Shaohong was concerned about.

Although his marksmanship was not comparable to Chi Tiecheng's, it was not far behind. With just a glance, Ye Shaohong could glean a lot from the corpse.

Then, Ye Shaohong's gaze fell on the waist of the field operative.

He saw a bulging object in the other person's pocket, which, judging from its shape, was about the size of a goose egg.

Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately lit up.

Without further hesitation, he reached inside and, after some rummaging, actually pulled out a Japanese soldier's melon-shaped hand grenade from the field operative's pocket. Having obtained this deadly weapon, Ye Shaohong didn't use it immediately.

Instead, he stuffed it into the pocket of his postman's uniform, gritted his teeth again, and climbed toward Yu Manli.

Meanwhile, the gunfire from across the alley gradually subsided.

obviously.

The enemy wasn't stupid either. From the fact that Ye Shaohong and his men were no longer able to launch a counterattack, the enemy realized that the trouble they were facing had basically been resolved.

These enemies were already considering withdrawing immediately.

This is also a very normal phenomenon.

In any case, Nanjing was the headquarters of the Nationalist government, with its administrative units spread throughout the city, and its military, police, and gendarmerie forces were unparalleled in the country.

As spies for the enemy, their best option after their identities were exposed was to evacuate as quickly as possible. Engaging with the enemy would be unwise.

They wanted to leave.

But Ye Shaohong wouldn't allow it. These Japanese devils had shot and wounded his woman, and he was determined to avenge that.

And they must retaliate immediately.

So Ye Shaohong made a move.

He scrambled to his feet, and the instant he stood up, a melon-shaped grenade with the pin pulled in his hand.

With a forceful flick, Ye Shaohong threw the melon-shaped grenade away.

"boom!"

A loud bang was followed by shrill screams and cries of agony, and a Japanese gunman immediately fell to the ground.

The gunfire from the other side also paused briefly.

Ye Shaohong seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He rolled on the spot and arrived next to Yu Manli.

Only then did Ye Shaohong see clearly the extent of Yu Manli's injuries.

One shot to the shoulder, one shot to the abdomen.

Although the injury to her shoulder was bleeding profusely, it would not threaten Yu Manli's life in the short term.

But the wound on her lower abdomen was different; the blood from that shot had completely stained Yu Manli's clothes red.

This is a fatal injury.

Upon seeing this scene, Ye Shaohong's eyes immediately turned red.

“Manli, Manli.”

"Open your eyes and look at me, don't leave me..."

Perhaps it was because she heard Ye Shaohong's shouts, or perhaps Ye Shaohong's movement of holding her body aggravated her wounds, that Yu Manli, who had been unconscious, finally opened her eyes slowly.

"Shao...cough cough...Shao Hong." "You...you're so silly."

"Why...why did you come here...?"

When Yu Manli opened her eyes and saw Ye Shaohong's face, she immediately forced a smile.

She was responding to Ye Shaohong with all her might.

However, her own injuries made it difficult for her to cope. Even simple words that she could usually say seemed extremely difficult to utter at this moment.

"No……."

"Don't talk, just hold on... You have to hold on..."

"Don't forget what you told me this morning, that you're going to have my baby. You can't leave me alone."

"Without you, who will take care of me? Can you bear to see me all alone from now on?"

Ye Shaohong's roar seemed to possess a special magic, reaching Yu Manli's ears and immediately invigorating her dejected and powerless spirit.

Her eyes seemed to burst forth with a dazzling light.

"You...you agreed?"

"You're willing to let me... willing to let me have your child?"

"This...this is wonderful."

"Shao Hong, I...I can't bear to part with you..."

Yu Manli spoke haltingly, exchanging rare sweet nothings with him. When she got emotional, she even struggled to raise her bloodied hand, trying to reach out and touch Ye Shaohong's cheek.

Ye Shaohong also sensed Yu Manli's thoughts.

He quickly grabbed Yu Manli's hand, held it close to his cheek.

"I promise... I promise you."

"Silly girl, you have to promise me too, hold on, and live well..."
