Four shots, seven bullets, in about two seconds, Gao Yang had completed a gunfight against four. Holding the gun with both hands and quickly scanning around, Gao Yang shouted, "Get down, get down..." As Gao Yang was shouting, he was extremely surprised to find that he didn’t even recognize his own voice; it was very low and hoarse, and his throat was exceptionally sore, as if there was a burning coal in it. After swallowing hard, Gao Yang kept gesturing downward, trying to increase his volume as he continued, "Lie down! Don’t run around, don’t run around!" The gunmen’s shooting had started and ended in no more than ten seconds, and the panic had just begun among the people, so it was impossible for them to calm down so quickly. Seeing that people were still running wildly, fearing Yelena might be trampled by the running crowd, Gao Yang immediately pointed his gun downward and ran toward her, only to see Yelena had already flipped up from the ground and was running toward him. She hugged Gao Yang briefly but then quickly realized it was inappropriate. She swiftly bent down to pick up another gun from a corpse’s hand and then shouted, "It’s okay, don’t run, don’t move! Get down!" The people who saw what happened had already run away; those behind still didn’t know what had happened. But when they could see, the situation was already under control, so naturally, they were not too panicked. On the ground lay a few corpses and some people who were shot and crying out loudly. Fortunately, with Gao Yang as an unexpected savior emerging, only three ordinary citizens were lying on the ground. Gao Yang warily glanced around, his mind racing fast. These four people, from the moment Gao Yang threw Yelena’s bag, it was clear they hadn’t had any extensive training, let alone being experienced hitmen; they were just four amateurs, even inferior to ordinary soldiers. The judgment criterion was simple. If they had been rigorously trained, facing any flying objects when shooting, they wouldn’t instinctively dodge. Instead, they would fire first and hit the target, then either evade or continue firing if they deemed there was no threat. They would never make such senseless and harmful instinctive dodging actions as these did. However, the four gunmen being amateurs did not provide Gao Yang enough basis to clearly determine whether they were sent by Saudi Arabia or whether this operation was specifically targeting him. Based on various signs, Gao Yang inclined to believe it was a terrorist attack. However, with the possibility that Krulney might have been captured by Saudi Arabia, Gao Yang dared not conclude so easily. Underestimating the enemy would only mean one is very stupid, but sometimes, some enemies do make particularly stupid moves, and there are plenty of such examples. Someone from Saudi Arabia sending four amateur gunmen to assassinate the legendary Gun God seemed foolish, but it appeared rather normal for some people to do such a thing.

Meanwhile, Yelena, after taking a look around, pouted her lips, looking like she wanted to cry or laugh. She pulled Gao Yang’s arm slightly and said in a low voice, "Hurry up, you can’t stay here!" Gao Yang shook his head and replied in a very hoarse voice, "Can’t go! There’s no way to leave." After Yelena was stunned for a moment, she looked around at the crowd that had begun to calm down, immediately placed the gun in her hand on the ground, and covered Gao Yang’s face with her hand. People nowadays have a very good or very bad habit; ever since smartphones became widespread, people’s first reaction when encountering something big is to quickly film it. Gao Yang, holding the gun with his left hand, reached into the pocket of his suit with his right hand, took out a pair of sunglasses, and put them on. For him, sunglasses had become an essential carry-on item. Gao Yang looked around and said in a low voice, "Pick up your bag and also my phone, it’s important, hurry." Yelena quickly ran to pick up the bag and the phone, which was already broken, while Gao Yang, covering his face with his left arm, looked at the three injured people. The injuries were not severe. As long as the most seriously injured person was treated in time, there would be no life-threatening risk. Gao Yang hastily walked to the most seriously injured person’s side, a security officer dressed in uniform directing the crowd to disperse. Seeing that the injured person was shot on the outer side of the right flank, Gao Yang immediately pressed the wound with his hand, then looked up and said in a weak voice, "Stop filming, come and help me!" Gao Yang’s voice couldn’t be heard from afar, but people could understand his actions, so soon someone came forward to help. By this time, the patrol police had finally arrived. Gao Yang’s actions were so fast that they made the actions of the police and security guards seem too slow. But as two police officers ran over, they looked once, then immediately pointed their guns at Gao Yang, who was still holding a gun, shouting, "Put down the gun, get on the ground, quickly!" Gao Yang put down the gun and promptly lay down on the ground. At this moment, he wouldn’t dare make any actions against orders, to prevent the overly tense police from adding a few more holes in him. At this moment, a young man next to him shouted excitedly, "He’s a hero! He saved many people here! He’s a hero!" Once the word ’hero’ was heard, soon more people began to react, and immediately someone followed suit, shouting, "He’s a hero, he’s a hero, the dead ones are the terrorists!" "Exactly! He’s a hero, don’t point your guns at him!" Amidst the rising shouts, the two police officers became a bit bewildered and unsure of what to do. And at this time, as more police cars came, sirens blaring, while armed officers began to disperse the already sparse crowd, more people, who usually would flee from such a scene, gathered instead. No matter what, duties must be fulfilled, and no procedures can be skipped. Two police officers rushed to Gao Yang, one pinning him down while the other quickly cuffed him. Even Yelena was pinned to the ground by two police officers and handcuffed. However, the police officers were exceptionally gentle. If it was really alarming, they would definitely pin someone down and then cuff them, not lightly taking their hands and gently cuffing them like they did Gao Yang and Yelena. While one of the officers gently lifted Gao Yang up, Gao Yang said in a very weak voice, "Don’t let them film my face, I don’t want to be retaliated against or have my life disturbed, please." That officer didn’t have anything suitable, so he immediately took off his hat and used it to cover Gao Yang’s face. Yelena received similar treatment, even better, with two people using hats to cover her face. Someone would naturally clean up the aftermath, and more and more people were arriving. As for Gao Yang and Yelena, they were, of course, immediately placed in a police car and taken away. As Gao Yang and Yelena were being put into the car, suddenly a round of applause erupted, accompanied by shouts of ’hero,’ blending the clapping and cheering into a single chorus.
