Chapter 212: Taking An Arrow For Her
Right after dodging that first round of attack, Yu s.h.i.+jin had already commanded the chief detective. “Go and get things back online.”
“Boss…” Chief detective remained unmoving, still holding his weapon.
His duty was to protect Yu s.h.i.+jin, who was in serious danger now.
Yu s.h.i.+jin glanced at him. “Ms Su is here.”
Chief detective was clearly stunned. He had no idea how Yu s.h.i.+jin knew she was here.
But he no longer had any hesitations, and just turned to leave.
He and everyone under Yu s.h.i.+jin held the same wholehearted trust and respect for Su Huiqing.
With Ms Su here, he believed that the boss’s safety was guaranteed.
Yu s.h.i.+jin held his chest. He felt out of breath after dodging those earlier bullets.
He placed his hand on the staircase and steadied himself, before gazing down at the scene. It was chaos.
Just as he was about to duck down, that arrow was suddenly shot down by something else.
He immediately knew Su Huiqing was here.
However, the thought that came to his mind was not relief.
Yu s.h.i.+jin’s eyes darkened. He took out his own weapon from his coat pocket. His bow was custom-made and of the smallest model. It was specially designed to be easily portable.
As he armed his bow, his eyes were filled with rage.
He did not need her protection.
No matter what, he was able to protect himself.
Did she realize she could easily expose herself like this?
But she was that kind of person.
She would protect all those she cared about, without any reservations.
‘Swish…’
Yu s.h.i.+jin had armed his bow. Blood would be shed.
A sudden click and the entire hall was lit up again.
Everyone’s faces were still filled with fear and anxiety. Broken chairs and shattered gla.s.sware was everywhere.
But what drew everyone’s attention was that young, fresh-faced girl pointing a sniper rifle at the head of a black-clad man. Her pitch-black eyes were totally cold. Her lips were curled up in an aloof smirk.
She looked very fearsome.
In front of her, that black-clad man’s left leg was pierced by a black arrow.
Fresh blood trickled out.
The doors were thrown open. A troop of soldiers rushed in and surrounded Mountain Cat and his men.
With the lights turned on, Su Huiqing narrowed her eyes and turned to look straight at Yu s.h.i.+jin.
Yu s.h.i.+jin was keeping his bow, an unreadable expression on his face.
“Mr… Mr. Yu…” The acting president was still very shaken.
He was closest to Yu s.h.i.+jin.
He naturally knew the a.s.sa.s.sins were targeting Yu s.h.i.+jin.
Even his voice was trembling.
Someone actually dared to try and kill Yu s.h.i.+jin on his territory.
Although Yu s.h.i.+jin was fine, the acting president would not be able to escape his responsibility that this happened in his domain.
The acting president wiped off his cold sweat and shouted at an officer. “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go investigate this matter! Find out exactly what happened or we are all doomed!”
Yu s.h.i.+jin paid no attention to him but just went down the stairs, staring straight at Su Huiqing. His voice was low and rather raspy. “Are you alright?”
Song San also descended the stairs, his manner very elegant.
He was also staring at Su Huiqing.
No one could tell what Song San was thinking now.
Meanwhile, Su Huiqing was completely oblivious to him. She continued to look at the person before her, at his unusually pale face. Her heart sank. Wordlessly, she reached out to feel his pulse.
Her eyes were clear and tranquil.
However, Yu s.h.i.+jin grabbed Su Huiqing’s hand instead. He stared into her eyes. “I won’t die that easily. I would have long been dead if it’s so easy for me to succ.u.mb to a.s.sa.s.sinations.”
He frowned slightly, his eyes turning a shade darker.
His voice was cool and aloof.
This was probably the first time ever Yu s.h.i.+jin talked to Su Huiqing like that.
Su Huiqing stared at him dumbly.
At this moment, Mountain Cat glanced over. It was not possible for normal men to capture a person like him.
He had purposely remained on the scene to wait for an opportunity.
Mountain Cat immediately noticed the dazed expression on Su Huiqing’s face while she was with Yu s.h.i.+jin. He flipped over and raised his bow, aiming the arrow straight at Su Huiqing!
It was a very short distance and caught off-guard, it would not be that easy to dodge the arrow.
Yu s.h.i.+jin narrowed his eyes.
Without thinking, he turned and embraced Su Huiqing in his arms. His black eyes were fixed upon Mountain Cat!
At this moment.
The nearby Song San instinctively dashed forward and stood in front of Su Huiqing.
That arrow penetrated his body.
Fresh blood instantly blossomed on his pale-colored jacket…
