âTai An, you do it.â
âAlright.â
Tai An took the pistol, and pointed at Huo Zhenning without any hesitation.
â...â
As despair shrouded hope, Huo Zhenningâs vision turned black, and almost fainted.
He reflexively glanced at Xiang Jinxi, and saw him returning to his sofa. As the latter lifted his tea glass, an icy gaze swept over towards Huo Zhenning with a menacing smile, as if he was enjoying the climax of a play.
He was insane!
Huo Zhenning felt like he had been dunked into an ice lake. His body was freezing.
He did not want to wait for his death, and used every ounce of his strength and clawed his way out like a wounded dog towards the door.
Just as he was about to reach it, Xiang Jinxi had enough, and motioned a âdo itâ gaze towards Tai An.
âMr Huo. Farewell. Remember to be sorry to my mother when you see her!â
As the words left Xiang Jinxiâs mouth, Tai An pulled the trigger.
BANG!
The bullet spat out, and flew towards the back of Huo Zhenningâs head!
He closed his eyes in unwilling despair as he waited his doom.
And out of nowhere, a fumbling figure pounced over in front of him and took the shot in his stead!
UGH!
The bullet struck the heart and blood came gushing out!
It was not just Huo Zhenning, even Tai An and Xiang Jinxi was stunned.
âGranny!â
A pitiful roar suddenly thundered and like a thunderclap, shock the three back to their senses.
Huo Zhenning turned back slowly, and saw a grey-haired figure shuddered and slumped before him.
His iris shrank as he subconsciously held his hands out, âMum...â
Before he could get to her, a gust of wind blasted past him as an arm appeared out of nowhere and held her!
âGranny!â
Huo Yunting was kneeling on one knee as he looked at Madam in his arms.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Her heart was hit, and blood kept gushing out of it, dying her clothes red.
With a quavering hand, he pressed against the bullet wound, and his usually immaculate and handsome face had nothing but panic on it, and try as he may, he could not force out a comforting smile.
âGranny, Iâll take you to the hospital. Youâll be alright.â
Anyone could hear the trembling in his voice.
Everything happened in a flash on an eye, and no one could react.
âHuo Yunting!â
Seeing him, Tai An was surprised and pulled up the pistol without much thought.
But before he could pull the trigger, a bullet blasted out in his direction from the outside, and slammed against his arm!
And just as sudden, a hole was punched in his arm.
Tai An squeeled in pain and threw the gun aside by reflex.
âTai An!â Xiang Jinxiâs expression changed as he tried to go and pick up the pistol.
âDonât you dare move.â
Just as he had bend down, a sneering voice came from outside.
At the door, was Huo Li, clad in black as he walked grimly and swiftly inside, his pistol trained towards Xiang Jinxi.
âMr Xiang, I suggest you to stay still if you donât want your head to get popped.â
Xiang Jinxiâs gaze flickered, before lifting his hands up.
âI surrender.â
âThatâs more like it.â
Huo Li nodded, and now only did he had the spare attention to give to Huo Yunting.
Upon seeing Madam in a pool of blood, his expression changed, and immediately said, âBoss, the carâs just right outside, send Madam to the hospital now! Leave this to me!â
