Physician’s Odyssey,Chapter 577 - Bloodbath in Moscow’s Street - Read free novels online

Summer was gorgeous in Russia since it was decorated with greenery everywhere, covering this city, regardless of the city or the outer districts. Aside from the greenery that's in one's sight, there were no empty spaces in the city; this was a genuine City of Greenery.

There's wind in the city, but it wasn't heavy; rain was plentiful, yet not violent. They came in a timely and perfect manner. The sunshine was gentle.

The air was refreshing and sweet, and most importantly, there's no haze in the city.

On the second floor of a building, Shui Junzhuo wore white clothes with her hair tied into a flower bud. Opening her window and looking out, it felt as if someone was waiting for her.

"There's news that the leader of the representative team has recovered, and the diplomatic activity later will resume as per normal. This time, Su Tao has displayed his outstanding medical skills in treating the core official and was also praised for it." Yuan Lan, who wore tight-fitted clothes, reported with a sigh as she looked at Shui Junzhuo's lonely silhouette.

Yuan Lan reached Russia ahead of time to protect Shui Junzhuo since the Shui Family was currently discussing cooperation with a major figure in Russia in regards to technology development. This time, Shui Junzhuo played a vital role in this matter. Hence, many people were paying attention to Shui Junzhuo, trying to ruin this cooperation.

Turning around, Shui Junzhuo smiled. "Got it. Please look after him on my behalf."

Looking at Shui Junzhuo, Yuan Lan asked, "Why don't you go and see him since you're missing him? No one will stop you here!"

Shaking her head with a bitter smile, Shui Junzhuo replied, "This is my promise to my parents. Furthermore, I'm afraid that I'll fail to control my emotions if I see him."

"According to the intelligence that I've received, there are movements from the Dragon Group. If I'm not wrong, they should be here for Su Tao. Then again, they must have other missions as well." Yuan Lan sighed.

With a trace of determination flickering through her eyes, Shui Junzhuo took a deep breath and replied, "It's understandable since Big Brother Qin isn't someone who's willing to lose with his character."

Nodding her head, Yuan Lan replied, "I've already submitted a request for reinforcements, so please be reassured. We will ensure Su Tao's safety, and at the same time, we will ensure that everything goes well."

"Thank you!" Shui Junzhuo returned to the window and smiled. "Others often say that one will gain freedom upon leaving the country. But for me, I was turned into a caged bird with my freedom taken away from me."

Glancing at Shui Junzhuo's silhouette, Yuan Lan inwardly sighed and retreated.

Sitting in a roofless bar with the sunlight blocked by a massive golden umbrella, there's a plaza nearby where an unemployed person was performing tricks with a football, donned in a jersey. There were several kids around him and they would try to interrupt him, but they were all tactfully dodged by that man, causing the spectators to laugh. This was Moscow during the day, both calm and warm.

Looking at the passersby, Su Tao fell into thoughts. After drinking two cups of vodka, he suddenly felt a little worried. Although Shui Junzhuo helped him with the visa to get to Moscow, she still hasn't come to find him.

There's a possibility that she's trying to avoid him on purpose.

Recalling their last meeting, Su Tao figured out that Shui Junzhuo must have reached an agreement with her family, like an agreement not to meet him for two years.

After Su Tao figured it all out, he felt somewhat bitter in his heart. Regardless of Vera or Shui Junzhuo, they were both forced to distance themselves because of their families.

He knew that if he wanted to change this situation, he would have to become stronger.

"Is there something bothering you?" Jiang Qinghan wasn't used to the high alcohol content vodka that left a burning sensation down her throat. However, she still tried her best to get used to it and took another mouthful.

"If someone you care about is being locked up by someone else who doesn't wish for the two of you to meet, what will you do?" Su Tao asked with a wry smile.

"I will find that person at all costs and bring him away with me." Jiang Qinghan firmly said.

Nodding his head, Su Tao sighed, "Sounds reasonable!"

He had already made a decision in his heart so his gaze drifted to the plaza. The pigeons here weren't afraid of strangers and gracefully landed on the ground. Occasionally, they would lower their heads to eat the grains, scattered on the ground by passersby.

Suddenly, the flock of pigeons flew away and Su Tao saw a skinny, yet tall figure swiftly charging in his direction.

Su Tao swiftly reacted and immediately shoved Jiang Qinghan, who was beside him.

Jiang Qinghan also swiftly reacted and rolled on the ground before kicking over a table, toppling it down to be used as a shield.

A gun appeared from that tall and skinny man before he squeezed the trigger without any hesitation. But to his disappointment, the bullets only hit the table.

Sighing out in pity, he swiftly pounced towards Su Tao.

The Nineteenth Dragon had been concealing himself for a long time before he found such an excellent opportunity.

For assassinations, the first attempt had the highest chance of success. If the first attempt failed, the successive attempts would be more difficult.

On the other hand, Su Tao inwardly rejoiced. If he hadn't been paying attention to the pigeons and his reaction speed wasn't faster, the assailant would have succeeded.

Who is this person?

Why is this person trying to assassinate me?

Many thoughts flashed past Su Tao's mind as he glanced at the nearby Jiang Qinghan.

Seeing the concern in her eyes, Su Tao looked down at his thigh before he noticed that he was injured.

In that brief exchange, Nineteenth Dragon shot out two rounds, which one of them hit the table, and the other hit his thigh.

"It's nothing; it's just a scrape!" Su Tao tapped on the veins on his thigh to stop the bleeding. However, it wasn't as simple as he claimed. The bullet was embedded in his thigh, and it had to be removed through surgery.

This was a planned assassination, to which the other party was armed. Although Su Tao tried his best to calm down, he still couldn't find an opportunity to retaliate.

At the same time, the Nineteenth Dragon was getting closer. He knew that Su Tao was a skilled martial artist from his intelligence, and Jiang Qinghan was also a pretty good fighter.

He never stopped in one position, he was constantly moving to find a breakthrough. The moment there's an opportunity, he would strike out without any hesitation.

Whenever Su Tao tried to shift his position, there would be a bullet fired that left him helpless.

He knew that this was a formidable assassin!

Although Su Tao had his fair share of life-and-death experiences, he never felt so despaired.

"If there's an opportunity, you run first. His target is me!" Su Tao calmly looked at Jiang Qinghan.

"Cut the foolish words. We will live and die together!" Jiang Qinghan firmly said, before she continued, "Right now, the only way is to delay him and wait for Moscow's police to save us."

"I have an idea!" Su Tao suddenly said.

"What is it?" Jiang Qinghan asked.

"We will run in two different directions after a countdown." Su Tao suggested and added, "This way, we will be able to divert his attention."

Inwardly letting out a sigh, Jiang Qinghan agreed, "Alright. I'm afraid that this is the only option available to us."

"One… two… three!"

The moment Su Tao finished counting down, he kicked the round table in the direction that Jiang Qinghan was running. However, he did not escape himself.

When Jiang Qinghan landed, she was shocked to realise that Su Tao lied to her.

Her disciple had decided to face this assassin by himself since the beginning.

Although the injury on his thigh had already stopped bleeding, the floor was covered in his blood.

If Su Tao dies, she wouldn't go up at this moment. On the contrary, she would spend her life to find this assassin and take revenge for Su Tao.

This was the reason why Su Tao wanted her to live.

At this moment, Jiang Qinghan's vision was blurred by her tears, looking at Su Tao with her fists tightened.

Finally, Su Tao could take a clear look of the assailant. However, he couldn't see the other party's face due to the mask.

At the same time, the Nineteenth Dragon was also shocked. He never thought that his prey would suddenly appear before him, exposed.

His lips rose as if he was mocking Su Tao for being an idiot.

However, a variation suddenly occurred.

He felt a chill between his brows, in which he immediately ducked down, dodging a silver flash.

Su Tao also found it a pity that the assailant dodged his needles.

Taking a deep breath, he could only stake it all in an attempt so he pounced at the other party while the assailant was distracted.

Nearby, Jiang Qinghan's heart also rose to her throat.

Only a true warrior could still launch an attack even though the other party had a gun.

Su Tao was a warrior!

The Nineteenth Dragon was experienced, and just when the two of them were about to clash, he fired two shots in an instant. He knew that the two bullets would definitely hit Su Tao.

But even so, Su Tao did not stop, he still continued pouncing over.

Su Tao was 6'0", but when he pounced at the Nineteenth Dragon, who was close to 6'5", he seemed like a kid.

The Nineteenth Dragon felt his wrist going numb and he lost control of the hand that wielded the firearm.

However, he was also experienced in close-combat, in which he suddenly lashed a kick at Su Tao's lower abdomen.

At this moment, Su Tao was fighting with his life on the line and disregarded the kick to his lower abdomen. So despite the intense pain, he grabbed onto the Nineteenth Dragon's neck with an arm while launching a jab at his enemy's lower abdomen.

Instantly, the Nineteenth Dragon felt intense pain in his lower abdomen. He would often feel close to death, but for some reason, the deathly aura he felt this time was so distinct.

Broken ribs…

Squashed intestines…

Penetrated stomach…

The spleen and kidney were both destroyed…

However, his target was still violently brandishing his fist.

Am I really going to die this time? The Nineteenth Dragon thought as he felt weak. He could feel his soul leaving his body.

Su Tao knew that if he wanted to survive, he had to unleash his attacks at all costs. When he recalled Yan Wujin's guidance on how to use internal martial arts, he triggered all the potential hidden in his body as he fearlessly swung his fists.

Gradually, the Nineteenth Dragon started to vomit blood and his vision steadily blurred before he lost consciousness.
