Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 378: Running for Life
The moment the headrest was shattered, the little bit of hope in Lin Yuan and Betty's hearts was also shattered.

There really is a sniper!

This was truly a carefully planned and deadly attack!

Both of them were shocked, but Lin Yuan's movements were not slow at all.

When his headrest was hit, he immediately picked up Betty, jumped out of the car door, and ran towards the truck.

Lin Yuan exerted force with his legs and ran forward with all his might.

The strong wind whistled in his ears and the scenery was quickly left behind by him. Although he was holding an adult woman, his speed was still as fast as lightning.

This was the first time that Lin Yuan ran so desperately. Under the tremendous pressure of life-threatening danger, his physical strength was pushed to the limit.

The strong heart contracts forcefully, pumping large amounts of blood to all parts of the body.

His heavy breathing allowed him to inhale a large amount of oxygen, filling every alveolus, and exhale a large amount of waste gas.

His arms were strong and powerful, holding Betty tightly and binding her tightly to him.

His strong leg muscles allow him to generate huge forward momentum every time he pushes off the ground.

He had only one thought in his mind: Faster! Faster! I want to live with Betty!

Betty, who was hugging Lin Yuan tightly, had a lot of thoughts in her mind at this time.

At this moment, she could do nothing but trust Lin Yuan wholeheartedly.

This instead made her thoughts start to run wild.

She used her arms and legs to hold Lin Yuan tightly.

"Puff~Put~"

Lin Yuan's strong heartbeat reached her ears clearly through their tightly pressed chests.

"Huchi~huchi~"

Lin Yuan's heavy and powerful breathing and his hot breath sprayed on her neck, making her feel numb all over.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

Every time Lin Yuan stepped on the ground, the vibration was clearly transmitted to her.

At this moment, Betty felt that she could clearly sense the presence of a man.

He seemed to be connected to himself by blood, as if they were one.

Betty felt as if the door of her heart was suddenly slammed open, and she completely let herself go to this man.

Just like her current posture, she opened her legs and arms, hugged the man tightly, and opened herself as well.

Lin Yuan didn't have time to care about Betty's emotions at the moment. He had already run to a place not far from the truck and was only a few steps away from entering the safe area.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong sense of panic in his heart!
Lin Yuan, who had experienced life and death many times, no longer dared to ignore his sixth sense, which was somewhat metaphysical.

So he used all his strength and lunged forward!
"puff!"

A bright red flower bloomed on his shoulder.

The splattered blood splashed on Betty's face and also into her heart.

"Boom!"

The two men fell heavily to the ground.

Lin Yuan immediately rolled over with Betty in his arms and hid behind the front of the truck.

"You are injured!" Betty said, looking at the blood on Lin Yuan's shoulder.

"Damn sniper, he's faster than I expected. He's a real master!" Lin Yuan said.

I thought I had left enough redundancy, but I didn't expect that an accident would almost happen.

The sniper took only 2.2 seconds to reload and shoot again, far less than Lin Yuan's expected 2.5 seconds.

2.5 seconds is already the level of an ace sniper, but even so, he still underestimated the opponent, which shows how high the level of this enemy is.

"Bang!" There was a crash sound from the front of the car.

It was obviously the bullet shot by the sniper.

Lin Yuan and Betty, who were hiding behind the front of the car, were safe and sound. This place was indeed safe. "Bang!" The sound of bullets hitting the front of the car rang out again.

Apparently the sniper didn't give up and continued shooting.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Four shots were fired before the shooting stopped.

As if realizing that his efforts were futile, the other party stopped shooting.

"You are injured! Let me take a look!" Betty immediately remembered the injury on Lin Yuan's shoulder and said anxiously.

"It's not a big deal. I'll deal with the urgent matters at hand first."

The golden system text had already displayed the damage situation in front of Lin Yuan:

The host was shot. The bullet penetrated the shoulder muscles, causing a laceration without damaging the tendons or bones. Please treat the wound as soon as possible to avoid infection and excessive blood loss.

Since the wound was not fatal, Lin Yuan didn't bother to deal with it.

"Clang!"

With a loud bang, Lin Yuan kicked open the deformed cab door of the truck.

He broke off the shattered glass fragments of the rearview mirror and carefully observed the driver in the cab through the reflection of light.

He was a sturdy black man, his face sunken in from the impact.

The steering wheel was covered with white and red.

It was obvious that he had lost his life in the accident just now.

This means two things:
The first thing he had to do was to stop posing a threat to Lin Yuan and Betty. It was important to eliminate the danger, otherwise if they were hiding behind the front of the car and the driver shot them from above with a pistol, they would be dead.

This is also the reason why Lin Yuan did not bother to treat his wounds and immediately checked the cab first.

The second thing is that they can no longer use this driver to track down the mastermind behind the incident.

If we want to catch the real culprit, there is only one last target: the sniper on the unfinished building.

"Betty, it's safe here. Stay here and call for help." Lin Yuan said.

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Betty immediately asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to that unfinished building and catch that guy." Lin Yuan said.

"Are you crazy? It's too dangerous! Can't we just stay here and wait for rescue?" Betty begged, holding Lin Yuan's hand.

"If he runs away like this, we won't be able to find out the real mastermind behind this," said Lin Yuan.

"Didn't you expect this? You already have someone you suspect, right? We don't need to take this risk," Betty advised.

"No! That's just a guess. I have no evidence. And my guess may not be correct, at least not completely correct." Lin Yuan said.

Seeing that Betty still wanted to persuade him, Lin Yuan continued, "This is not just your business. I feel more and more that this matter may be directed at me!
I will never allow someone to do such a cruel thing to me, and I will do nothing. This is my war, and they have angered me!"

Lin Yuan was not talking nonsense, but when he thought about the whole series of attacks today, he suddenly realized that he might have thought too simply.

If you just want to kill Betty, the big truck is enough, why bother to arrange an extra sniper?
The more you do, the bigger the loopholes become.

Even if you really want to finish off the enemy, can't you just arrange a few gunmen on the roadside?
Do we have to have a sniper hundreds of meters away as a safety measure?
Obviously, the opponent took Lin Yuan's existence into account.

After all, no matter how powerful Lin Yuan is, his flying knife can't be thrown more than 300 meters.

For a long time, even though Lin Yuan was very good at fighting, far exceeding the level of a soldier king, he had never been involved in a real life-and-death battle.

He is an actor and an investor, not a killer or a gang member.

When he competed with his enemies, whether in the business world or the capital market, he never thought of using such extreme means.

Today was his first encounter with this dark side, and he had to get to the bottom of the matter.

If it is really aimed at him, then this black hand must be cut off.

Faced with Lin Yuan's persistence, Betty could only ask, "So what are you going to do? Fight the sniper rifle with your body?"
