Chapter 84: Blocking the Gun (Part 2) It Doesn’t Hurt
"Sorry." Bai Xin, his collar being grabbed by Fu Haoyao, showed a trace of fatigue on his face. "I just received the news too. Brother Han Sheng doesn't know where she's been. He just said he'd do his best to investigate through his bodyguards."
"Then it's too late—"
"Alright, Fu Er, calm down." Bai Yan peeled him off his brother. "There's no point getting angry at Bai Xin right now."
Su Xingshu, standing nearby, had already entered the restaurant near the woods and asked if they could access the surveillance footage. Cheng Xingzhou, in turn, had the student union immediately conduct a search of the hotel, looking for the student who had been absent from the hotel earlier and identifying the suspect.
A few minutes later, two men and three women were brought before Cheng Xingzhou. However, when questioned, they remained clueless and claimed they were wrongly accused.
Fu Haoyao stared at them coldly: "Talk nicely, don't play tricks."
"We did ask her out, but she never showed up!" one of them said. "We were practically dying of bugs, so we just went back to the hotel. Seriously!"
Seeing that he really couldn't get any information out of them, Fu Haoyao was a little disappointed. However, he didn't put all his hopes on them. Upon hearing this, he simply withdrew his gaze and waited for news from the private detective he had just hired.
Seeing that Fu Haoyao, rumored to be the most difficult person to deal with, had no intention of pursuing the matter, the five of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and exchanged glances: It seems that Fu Liangxia is not that important...
"What did the people who gave you the orders want you to do?"
Unexpectedly, just as they breathed a sigh of relief, Cheng Xingzhou suddenly glanced at them and asked.
Seeing this, the five people hesitated and dared not say a word.
However, Cheng Xingzhou seemed to understand the hidden meaning in their words. He nodded and gestured to Xue Changgui: "Let's deal with it."
"No! Wait, it's not us, it's Wang..." One of the boys was so frightened by the word "deal with" that his face turned pale, and he wanted to turn against them and point out the mastermind on the spot.
However, the next moment, a red dot was aimed at him.
"Bang--"
The moment the bullet pierced his head, his brain mixed with blood exploded, and he would never be able to finish his unfinished words.
After their companion died, the other four people who had originally wanted to gain an opportunity by turning against him suddenly became silent. Some of them even fainted with their eyes rolled back.
They are only in high school, and even though they know the dark side of society because of their family connections, the most exciting thing they have experienced is being kidnapped as children.
But they never thought they would die.
"Wang Xixi is a lunatic!" Fu Haoyao felt his heart tighten as he watched the boy being killed, and cursed under his breath.
My worry about Fu Liangxia's situation reached its peak.
If she can arrange for a sniper to silence someone, what else can't she do?!
Cheng Xingzhou also looked unhappy. He picked up his phone and said something, and then several plainclothes bodyguards appeared around him and approached the sniper point, ready to capture the other party.
Killing Saint Lander's students in front of him, even if they were about to be expelled, would undoubtedly be a slap in Cheng Xingzhou's face.
He turned to look at Bai Xin and stared at him: "If you can't handle your fiancée well, I don't mind helping you."
Bai Xin didn't say anything. The boy's face was shrouded in silence in the night. At this moment, there was news from Bai Yan and Fu Haoyao.
"We've tracked down Wang Xixi's recent whereabouts and the car registered in the name of the person she hired here. Judging by the driving records, the person who drove here tonight should be..." Bai Yan quickly flipped through the information, "They're heading to the West Coast."
"Walk."
Hearing this, Su Xingshu opened the door of his sports car and jumped in, feeling fortunate that his family had purchased a villa here. Similarly, the villa they lived in was provided by the Fu family, and Fu Haoyao also had several of his own sports cars in the garage here.
Several people quickly got into their cars and drove out. The bodyguards who had been following them in the dark to protect them could only follow closely behind.
The island was shrouded in darkness at night, with the sea breeze blowing. Some men and women saw their cool cars, blew a long whistle, and watched them pass by quickly with envious eyes.
But the six ignored them, pushing their horsepower to the maximum and rushing straight towards their destination. Fu Haoyao was even frightened by a sudden slope along the way and drifted.
Perhaps Wang Xixi didn't expect them to lock onto her so quickly. The van she hired didn't go very fast, and not long after it reached the shore, Bai Xin and others also arrived nearby.
They saw a black van parked casually on the side of the road, and a faint dark brown liquid beside the car extending into the distance.
Bai Kewei gasped, and her face turned even paler as if she had thought of something.
Bai Xin's fingers trembled slightly. Bai Yan patted his shoulder and looked at him with some worry in his eyes.
The two exchanged glances silently, then got out of the car and walked along the traces.
The west coast was not as lively as the resort they were in. There was only the sound of waves hitting the rocks, which made people feel restless.
Fu Haoyao clenched his heart and walked step by step towards the location pointed by the trace, and then he saw a scene that almost broke his heart.
The person he cherished in his heart was being held in someone's hand, her thin dress being blown tightly to her body by the wind, making her look even thinner and more fragile.
She was hanging in the air, her limbs hanging limply, her eyes closed on her pale little face, and she was silent.
Opposite her stood a girl dressed exquisitely, taking pictures of her with her mobile phone. Her happiness could be seen just by looking at her back.
Deathly silence.
A few seconds later, Fu Haoyao, Su Xingshu and Bai Kewei rushed up at the same time.
The bodyguards hired by Wang Xixi immediately raised their guns and aimed at them, and the bodyguards they brought with them also caught up, quickly protecting their employers and also confronting them with guns.
Wang Xixi was startled by the noise and turned around. A flash of panic crossed her eyes when she saw them, but when she spotted Bai Xin, a smile quickly appeared on her face. "Bai Xin, are you here to see me?"
Her voice was filled with joy, and if you ignored the current situation, she sounded as sweet as someone in love.
But it’s not.
Because as Wang Xixi spoke, she took out a gun from her pocket, and pointed the black muzzle directly at the girl who was about to fall in mid-air.
Fu Haoyao stared at Wang Xixi intently, watching her finger on the trigger. His heartbeat raced like thunder. The girl, suspended in the air, looked like a delicate yet fragile doll, pale and beautiful, lifeless.
He felt the blood in his body freeze, and then he heard Wang Xixi speak, repeating the question to Bai Xin in that sweet and strange tone: "Are you here to see me?"
Fu Haoyao didn't notice what Bai Xin said. He only saw Wang Xixi nodded with satisfaction and signaled the bodyguards around him to put down their guns.
But she did not take it back herself, nor did she let the bodyguard drag Fu Liangxia back to the shore.
She remained in this state, looking at Bai Xin and said, "Wouldn't it have been better if you were like this earlier? Why did you break up with me?"
"Is it because of her? Is it because of this bitch that you don't take me seriously and think I'm in the way, so you want to kick me out and clear the way for her to take the top position?"
"Then why don't she disappear?" Wang Xixi said with a smile.
Su Xingshu's eyes suddenly tightened.
He knew Wang Xixi was crazy, but he hadn't thought she was this crazy. Bai Xin had had other models before, but he had never seen Wang Xixi so nervous. Could she have noticed something?
Don't underestimate the intuition and observation of a secret admirer. They may often understand their feelings better than they do themselves.
Therefore, Wang Xixi really realized the threat posed by Fu Liangxia to her.
Su Xingshu vaguely realized something, but he felt it was a bit absurd and unbelievable. This was ridiculous. Not only were these brothers good at playing together, but their taste in choosing lovers was also terrifyingly similar.
Bai Xin, who was being stared at by Wang Xixi, wanted to sigh at this moment. He didn't understand why she was unwilling to resolve the issue between them calmly and had to drag others into it.
Why harm innocent people?
Bai Xin felt a surge of powerlessness in his heart. He thought that it might be because of his previous calmness and indifference that Wang Xixi thought he was easy to control.
He looked at her, and suddenly saw out of the corner of his eye that the girl who was being held in the air had opened her eyes at some point.
Fu Liangxia didn't expect Wang Xixi to make such a big fuss. When she woke up above the sea, she felt dizzy for a moment.
But soon, she realized her situation——
Being shot or falling into the sea, one of the two fatal choices.
Fortunately, Bai Xin attracted Wang Xixi's attention at this time, and the bodyguards around her had put away their guns. Only the one holding her was left, with no intention of putting her down.
The last system reward, the Physical Fitness Experience Card, will expire in more than a minute.
She suddenly turned over, raised her hand and thrust her finger into the bodyguard's eye. The bodyguard instinctively shook her off in pain.
The second after Fu Liangxia stood firm on the shore, Wang Xixi withdrew her gaze from Bai Xin, and suddenly an excited smile flashed across her face: "I don't believe what you say, I only believe in myself."
She pulled the trigger directly, and the bullet whizzed towards Fu Liangxia.
Three figures moved at the same time.
Bai Xin, who had been closely watching Wang Xixi's movements, rushed forward instantly, knocked her wrist away, and subdued her in place.
The bullet that had already been fired did not change its path due to this action and went straight towards Fu Liangxia.
Everything happened in an instant, but Fu Liangxia was not panicked because she knew that the system would not let her die so easily.
But she never thought that someone would rush in front of her and block the bullet for her.
The sound of the bullet entering the body was heard, and she heard the boy's slight groan.
