At the critical moment, Zhong Shenghao jumped forwards and wrapped Jing Xinlei in his arms before dodging Shi Yutingâs bullet.
However, the bullet hit his arm and blood splattered everywhere!
Shi Yuting didnât expect Zhong Shenghao to do this. He frowned, not able to understand his actions.
No one expected Zhong Shenghao to protect Jing Xinlei. The moment they saw him get shot, they couldnât help but gasp and stare at the two people on the ground!
âBrother Shenghao...â Shi Nuannuan couldnât help but exclaim when she saw the bright red blood flowing out of his arm.
Jing Xinlei had also heard the gunshot. She thought she was dead for sure, not expecting to be protected from the shot.
She looked up and saw Zhong Shenghao before noticing his bleeding arm.
She was shocked. The pain in her wrist was painful, but the Zhong Shenghaoâs arm made her heart hurt more.
âShenghao...â Jing Xinlei endured the pain as she sat up and inspected his wound.
But Zhong Shenghaoâs attention was elsewhere: he looked at Shi Yuting and said, âTing, Iâve never ask anything of you before. But now, all I ask is for you to spare Xinlei.â
His friendâs injury was shocking enough, but Shenghaoâs request was more unbelievable.
âWhy are you doing this?â He asked coldly.
When he saw Jing Xinlei stab Weiyi with a dagger, he only wanted to shoot her with one shot!
Her experience in prison didnât make her turn over a new leaf. Instead, it made her worse!
Zhong Shenghao grabbed the spot where he was shot in the arm with one hand, trying to slow the blood flow. He furrowed his brows tightly, and his thin lips were already starting to crack. âOne year in prison is enough. Please let her go this time.â
âNothing will ever be enough to make her pay for what she had done. She still wants to hurt Weiyi!â Shi Yuting said coldly. He had no intention of letting Jing Xinlei go!
âAs long as you let her go, I promise she wonât appear in front of Weiyi again.â Zhong Shenghao endured the pain and continued to plead.
Shi Yuting looked at him and was silent for a few seconds.
He had fallen in love with Xinlei? When?
âWith what she just did, I will never let her go again.â His voice was cold as his eyes looked back ruthlessly.
If they let the tiger go this time, whoâs to say it wouldnât come back next time?
Jing Xinlei hated Weiyi with a passion. He didnât want to take risks. The best way to protect Weiyi was for Jing Xinlei to disappear from this world!
âShe used to be the woman you liked. Canât you have a little bit of pity for her?â Zhong Shenghao was heartbroken. Although he knew it wasnât appropriate to say this in front of Weiyi, he didnât want Xinlei to die.
He had liked her for seven years. When she was sent to the first prison by Ting, he was actually glad. Although life there was a little miserable, at least she was still alive. As long as she lived, there was hope. When the time was right, he would think of a way to get her out of prison, to return to a free life.
However, all of this was destroyed when she tried to take revenge on Weiyi after breaking out of prison.
Zuo Weiyi also turned her gaze to Shi Yutingâs cold side profile as she listened to Zhong Shenghao.
Would Yuting have any pity for Jing Xinlei because he once liked her?n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âEverything ended five years ago. Now, she is just an enemy who wants to kill my wife and children. Why should I show her mercy when she didnât show any to my family?â
