Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
No matter how much Duncan guessed, he never imagined that Sheffield would actually dare to fire a shot.
He thought Sheffield was just bluffing.
"Get out!"
"Bang!"
Another gunshot rang out, exploding at his feet.
"Damn it!"
Duncan jumped backward abruptly, looking disheveled, his face deathly pale.
Gunshots rang out, followed by the sound of running footsteps in the corridor.
"Sir, are you alright?"
The person running over was Duncan's bodyguard.
As they spoke, they pointed their guns at Qin Suisui without saying a word.
Qin Suisui pointed at Duncan without moving her hand.
"Should I count to three, and then we'll fire together?"
"stop!"
Duncan finally realized what was happening.
He turned his head and scolded softly.
He looked up and, for the first time, looked at Sheffield seriously.
Across from her, Xie Fei remained aloof and elegant, yet somehow seemed different from before.
"Sheffield! You're in the US now, not the Z country. Aren't you afraid you won't be able to get out of Mexico?"
“Duncan, you know this is the United States, not the United States. Here, I can just shoot you dead and not take any responsibility!”
Qin Suisui was completely unfazed by the other party's threats. She remained calm, her expression unchanged.
At this moment, the bodyguards who accompanied Qin Suisui abroad finally arrived.
They pushed past the people gathered in front of the door.
"Qin Lu, are you alright?"
Li Jiang was extremely frustrated; he hadn't expected such a serious incident to occur on his first day in M.
Peng Shuai, who followed him into the guest room, looked at Qin Lu, who was calm and composed with guns in both hands, and couldn't help but exclaim inwardly: What a cool and beautiful woman!
None of them expected that Qin Lu would have a gun.
"I'm fine!"
Qin Suisui glanced at the two of them and recognized them as the bodyguards that Senior Brother Huo had arranged for her.
The arrival of the two men caused her to loosen her grip on the pistol.
"Sheffield, you've come back from Z country, have you forgotten that not just anyone can carry a gun!"
"Besides, this is Mexico!"
Duncan's words carried a warning, and he squinted at Sheffield with forced composure.
"You can try it, let the bullet in my hand fly out, and verify whether my shooting is legal or not?"
Qin Suisui remained calm, showing no sign of nervousness.
Back in Huating, she had investigated Duncan and knew he was a scoundrel who wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.
Unexpectedly, this time they actually set their sights on her.
Sheffield's tough stance left Duncan speechless.
He smiled, a smile that held a profound meaning.
"Sheffield, I hope you'll keep that in mind. Believe me, we'll meet again during your stay in the US!"
After saying that, he smiled meaningfully, waved to the bodyguard behind him, and turned to leave.
His bodyguard glanced inside, grinned, and followed.
Li Jiang quickly walked to the corridor and watched the other person's figure disappear into the elevator.
When Duncan's bodyguard saw him come out, he silently fired at him with his gun in hand.
Li Jiang gritted his teeth, filled with resentment, but unfortunately neither he nor Peng Shuai were qualified to carry guns.
He turned and went inside, quickly closing the door behind him, and looked at Qin Suisui.
"Law Qin, we are very sorry that we are late and have startled you!"
"fine!"
Qin Suisui put down the gun in her hand, frowned, and raised her hand to rub her sore arm.
Having not practiced shooting for a long time, her arms ached terribly just from holding the gun.
"Qin Lu, judging from his expression, the other party might not let this go so easily!"
Li Jiang's expression was unusually solemn. He never expected to encounter such an arrogant person so soon after arriving in Mexico.
"Law Qin, neither Peng Shuai nor I have guns, so we may not have much of an advantage against them. But rest assured, we will absolutely protect you with our lives!"
Both he and Peng Shuai are veterans, and even special forces soldiers. Faced with such provocation, the fire in their hearts had already been ignited.
If he had a pistol, Li Jiang glanced enviously at the exquisite pistol in Qin Lu's hand.
Peng Shuai walked to the entrance hall and squatted down to look at the gun holes in the carpet.
I never expected that the seemingly delicate and frail Attorney Qin could be so heroic when she fired a gun!
Qin Suisui looked up at him.
"Don't worry, they won't be making any moves in the next few days."
She hadn't expected Duncan to be so audacious as to brazenly break into her guest room without any hesitation.
Thinking of what had just happened, she looked at the bodyguard.
"They won't be coming back tonight, you two should go back and get some rest."
"Qin Lu, let's go out first. We're in the next room. If you need anything, just call us."
Li Jiang led Peng Shuai out of the house, but instead of going into the guest room next door, he crossed his arms and leaned against the wall in the corridor.
"Big brother, what's going on here?"
Peng Shuai couldn't quite understand Li Jiang's purpose in doing this.
Li Jiang looked up and glanced at him.
"Make your stance clear! Mr. Huo paid us such a large sum of money, and you're going in to rest at this hour? How can you accept this payment?"
really!
Peng Shuai nodded and then leaned against the other wall to wait.
Qin Suisui, who was inside, was unaware of the two's thoughts and instead called Joyce to wake her up.
"Sheffield, do you know what time it is?"
Joyce was drowsy, yawning with his eyes half-closed.
However, he also understood that for Sheffield to call him at this time, something very serious must have happened.
What happened to you in Mexico?
Qin Suisui briefly recounted what had just happened.
"You mean Duncan from South American Power broke into your guest room at night and you shot him out?"
After Joyce was furious, she couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Duncan's sullen and angry expression.
"Sheffield, tell me, what do you want me to help you with?"
"I want you to have someone copy for me right now what happened in my room today, as well as all the CCTV footage from the hallway!"
Qin Suisui stated her intentions directly: she would not let what happened tonight go easily.
The prerequisite is that she must obtain the state hotel's surveillance footage as soon as possible.
Regardless of whether Duncan makes any further moves, she will first and foremost make him pay!
Joyce immediately replied, "No problem, I'll call my old friend Lawrence right now and have him get the video for you."
