"What a coward..."

After making a comment, Jing Li's hand didn't tremble at all. She steadily used the butterfly knife to dig out the bullet that was embedded in Xue Xuran's flesh.

Because the bullet was not embedded in the bone, the process of removing it took less than a minute.

After removing the bullet, she ignited the gunpowder inside to disinfect the wound, and then quickly bandaged it.

Next, it's time to wait for rescue.

After turning off the flashlight, Jing Li leaned against the mountain wall, closed her eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Several groups of people came intermittently from the periphery during this period, but they did not find their hiding place.

She remained silent, because she couldn't determine whether the person was a friend or foe.

Her mind was in complete turmoil; she couldn't be sure if Fei Mo and the others had escaped safely.

Misaki said on the phone that her father was in trouble, and wondered if the assassins sent out were sent by Nian'en.

Jing Li felt a pang of regret for not being wary of this person.

She had no idea whether the other party had betrayed her father or what underhanded things they had done behind her back.

She could only hope that Fei Mo could escape danger as soon as possible and come to rescue her. After that, she would probably have to go abroad to find out the truth.

I just hope Jing Yang will be safe and sound during this time...

Time passed by second by second in this agonizing ordeal.

In the following hours, several more gunfights broke out. Jing Li heard the sounds but did not take any action.

The cave's only exit was blocked, and the cave was pitch black, making it impossible to distinguish between day and night.

"Hmm..."

After a long time, Xue Xuran, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up.

"You're awake. How are you feeling?"

Jing Li asked in a low voice.

"The bullet has been removed?"

Xue Xuran asked in a hoarse voice, his arm burning with pain, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, as if his throat was on fire.

"It's out. Drink some water and eat something first."

Having grown accustomed to the darkness, Jingli unscrewed a bottle of water and a pack of compressed biscuits and handed them over.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Are Brother Mo and the others alright?!"

Xue Xuran accepted it with a wry smile, somewhat worried about Fei Mo and the others.

"They should be fine. Let's wait a bit longer; they'll find their way here eventually."

Jing Li said, based on her own guess.

Fei Mo should be alright, otherwise she wouldn't have heard the gunshots. I reckon it won't be long before they come looking for them after they've cleared out the enemy.

Sure enough, footsteps were heard coming from the cave entrance not long after.

The two instinctively held their breath. Jing Li held her breath and walked to the cave entrance to hide, just to ensure that if the other party was not Fei Mo's person, she could take action to subdue the enemy immediately.

Soon, the hole she had disguised with tree branches was destroyed, and a tall figure walked in.

Jing Li gripped the butterfly knife and lunged at the other person's neck.

"It's me!"

Fei Mo hurriedly spoke up.

call……

The two of them breathed a huge sigh of relief.

Are you alright?!

Are you alright?!

The two asked in unison.

"I'm fine."

"I'm fine."

They answered in unison once again.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jing Li smiled brightly and threw herself into his arms.

"Sorry I'm late..."

Gently stroking the back of her head, Fei Mo soothed her softly.

"It's good that you're alright. Let's go. Xu Ran was shot, and I've already treated it, but it's better to see a doctor just to be on the safe side."

Without much tenderness, Jing Li turned on her flashlight, and Xue Xuran had already forced himself to stand up and walk towards them.

"Brother, are you alright?!"

"It's alright, Xiao Yan is leading people to search the mountain, let's go back first."

Fei Mo stepped forward and put his arm around her shoulder. The three of them walked out of the cave. Outside, it was completely dark.
