Qiao He's pupils widened slightly: "!?"
She instinctively prepared to lie down, but Bo Shiwu reacted even faster than her.
Almost instantly, she was tackled to the ground by Bo Shiwu, who then dragged her to the corner of the alley.
At the same moment, two horrifying bullet holes suddenly appeared where Bo Shiwu and Qiao He had just stood—
The old lady was stunned for a moment, not knowing what was wrong with these two young people.
How could you just lie down like that and then slip away so easily?
They have absolutely no manners!
Fortunately, they stopped knocking on the door and disturbing her.
The old lady closed the doors and windows, completely unaware of the bullet holes in the ground.
I didn't hear any gunshots because the other side had a silencer.
Qiao He was still in shock. Bo Shiwu held her tightly behind him, and all the kittens in his arms were stuffed into Qiao He's arms.
The man lowered his voice and said, "Someone wants to kill us."
Finally, fearing that Qiao He might not understand, he added, "It was a sniper rifle with a silencer."
The next moment, bang—
The wall next to Bo Shiwu was dented by a bullet, dust flew up, and some of the broken wall fragments landed at Qiao He's feet.
Her delicate eyebrows furrowed instantly: "Who?! Damn...who is it?!"
Qiao He was furious. They tricked her into coming here, and even used photos of her two kittens?!
Could it be that the kitten was taken away by that man?
Why do they have guns?
Could it be someone Qiao Yuan hired?
The moment the idea popped into her head, Qiao He dismissed it.
Qiao Yuan didn't have the ability or the connections.
The other party was carrying a sniper rifle and was hiding in a sparsely populated old urban village.
And it just so happens that we can observe their movements.
So... it must be on a slightly higher floor!
Qiao He frantically searched her surroundings when she suddenly heard Bo Shiwu say, "Go this way."
Qiao He nodded, and the two of them tiptoed away from the alley.
However, after walking for a while, they were discovered by that person again!
Qiao He's calf was almost pierced by the bullet. The bullet grazed her trouser leg and flew by. It was just one centimeter away from penetrating her flesh.
Qiao He was so nervous that she was almost sweating profusely.
This is fucking different from my past life!
Who exactly is behind this? Could it be that Mr. Li, who has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles?
Qiao He's heart skipped a beat; she felt this was very likely.
But President Li is so cowardly. He's just a bully who's using someone else's power. The month-long deadline hasn't even passed yet, so he certainly wouldn't dare to risk his own life. Instead, he'd send someone here to assassinate her and Bo Shiwu.
Besides, what if Mr. Li's men shot them both dead?
Isn't Mr. Li afraid of dying from the poison?
Qiao He felt something was wrong the more she thought about it.
Strange, so strange.
Thin mist's vision, like a searchlight, finally locked onto the other party's exact location.
He frowned slightly and said to Qiao He in a low voice, "You stay here and hide. I'll go and find that person."
Qiao He's dark almond-shaped eyes widened slightly: "But the other side has a gun!"
“We have nothing.” Qiao He was startled by Bo Shiwu’s audacious idea.
Bo Shiwu smiled faintly and took out a fruit knife from his pocket.
“This is enough,” Bo Shiwu said in a low voice.
Then, as if by magic, he produced another fruit knife and placed it in Qiao He's hand.
"Here you go. If anyone rushes out to attack you, kill him." Bo Shiwu narrowed his eyes slightly and pointed to the house opposite. "I'll rush out as bait in a bit. You take the opportunity to run into that house. I've checked, there's no one inside."
Qiao He: "..." In just a few minutes, Bo Shiwu has seen the situation so clearly?
What did he do before?!
Are they special police officers or criminals...?
Qiao He could only think of this possibility. Bo Shiwu was far too sensitive to such things; it was almost like an intuition etched into his bones.
For example, if there is any danger, he will definitely be the first to sense it.
He could even detect someone secretly sniping at them beforehand?
And the first thing to do is lie down!
Qiao He's gaze deepened. She didn't stop Bo Shiwu's plan, but quietly took out a blessed dagger from Qiao Yin's space.
Then he handed it to Bo Shiwu: "Use this. What's the point of a fruit knife? It can't even tear clothes."
Thin fog wanted to say that as long as you have enough strength, you can still break through it, especially since it's summer now.
"Besides, what if that person is wearing a bulletproof vest! We didn't take anything with us this time..." Qiao He's eyes darkened, "Forget it, even if we did take something, it wouldn't compare to someone carrying a gun."
Firearms and ammunition.
If there's a way to buy it, Qiao He will definitely do so at any cost!
Unfortunately, she had no way to buy it.
The only things I could find were homemade hunting rifles and some crossbows bought on the black market.
A shotgun is naturally not as powerful as a real gun, but it's better than nothing.
Qiao He stared at Bo Shiwu's profile, her mouth slightly open, but in the end she said nothing.
She wanted to tell Bo Shiwu to be careful.
But upon reflection, their relationship didn't seem to be that good.
Bo Shiwu turned to look at Qiao He. "Don't worry, Miss Qiao. I will protect you."
“Even if the other side has a gun, I still have a chance of winning.” Bo Shiwu said this and then flew away like a bowstring.
