In the car behind, Li Zhanting's hawk-like eyes were fixed on Gu Momo's vehicle. His furrowed brows betrayed his unusually agitated mood, and his fingers gripped the steering wheel tightly.
The image of that small figure falling into the sea not long ago kept flashing through Li Zhanting's mind, and his heart ached...
Although he knew perfectly well that the person on the sea couldn't be Tianbao, the image kept replaying in his mind like a nightmare, and he was terrified that such a scene would actually happen to Momo and the children...
He already owes Momo and the children too much, and he absolutely will not allow Momo and the children to suffer even the slightest harm!
Just then, a startling gunshot rang out from the jungle. Gu Momo and Li Zhanting's eyes flashed with a chilling light. They swerved the steering wheel, and the bullet grazed Gu Momo's car window, shattering the glass.
Dozens of assassins dressed in specially made black bulletproof vests jumped out of the jungle and pointed their guns at Gu Momo!
"MoMo!"
Just as they were about to fire, Li Zhanting's black Maybach sped up like an arrow and swerved to knock all the men in front of him to the ground!
Gu Momo's car followed closely behind. The next moment, Gu Momo slammed on the brakes and her lithe figure jumped out of the car quickly.
Suddenly, several more bullets were fired in this direction. Before Gu Momo could react, a strong and tall figure quickly flashed in front of her and tightly shielded her head with his chest!
With her back pressed against the car body, Gu Momo was slightly taken aback. Li Zhanting?
How did he end up here?
Before she could react, Li Zhanting pressed Gu Momo's head tightly against his chest with one hand, and with the other hand, he drew two guns from his waist, aimed precisely, and fired dozens of shots that perfectly shattered the guns in the hands of dozens of people!
"Ah!" Dozens of people felt intense pain in their hands, rolled over, and screamed in agony, clutching their hands.
Seeing their miserable screams, Li Zhanting had a cold smile on his lips. He gently held Gu Momo in his arms and whispered in her ear in a deep and moving voice.
But the words that came out were sinister and cold to the bone: "Mo Mo, be good. Leave this bloody stuff to me."
"Be a good boy and hide over there, okay?"
His deep, mellow voice gently brushed against Gu Momo's ear, causing her heart to tremble slightly.
Li Zhanting, what is he doing...?
Before she could think any further, Li Zhanting had already taken a long, slender stride. His thin lips curled into a cold smile, and his dark eyes held a hint of laughter, but that laughter was terrifying to the bone.
The assassins were so intimidated by Li Zhanting's imposing presence that they couldn't help but back away, landing on their bottoms.
They had never seen such a cold and ruthless smile before. Could this really be Li Zhanting?!
"Master Ting... Ah!" The assassin's pleading voice instantly turned into a shrill scream.
When Gu Momo looked up, she saw that the assassin had already left a deep gun barrel in his palm, and a large amount of blood was gushing out from the hole.
Li Zhanting tilted his head slightly and casually wiped the muzzle of the gun. His unhurried and elegant demeanor made him look like a nobleman who had just stepped out of an ancient castle.
But his eyes and the way he wiped the gun barrel both foreshadowed his imminent attack.
"Do you want to live, or obediently reveal who ordered you? Hmm?"
He's the one who does the dirty work of murder.
His Momo is someone he wants to protect and cherish. If he gets her eyes dirty, who will compensate him?!
The instant his gaze sharpened, the assassins trembled violently, immediately kowtowing repeatedly to the ground.
"Master Ting, spare us! I'll talk, I'll talk! We were sent by Gu Zhenting and Dong Qingrun. They said that as long as we can get rid of Gu Momo, we can get a ten million reward!"
"Master Ting, we'll never dare to do it again! Please spare our lives, Master Ting! If you're willing to spare our lives, we're willing to serve you like slaves!"
Li Zhanting smirked coldly, "Forgiving you is God's business!"
Bang bang bang!
Dozens of shots were fired in quick succession, piercing the palms of the assassins one after another.
The assassins collapsed to the ground in agony, clutching their palms and screaming in agony.
Immediately, Li Zhanting turned around, walking towards Gu Momo while taking out his phone. "Get to my location immediately and throw all the assassins out of the capital! Anyone who dares to set foot in the capital in the future will be sent to meet their maker!"
The cold voice reached her ears, and Gu Momo looked at the man's tall and straight figure striding towards her, her heart slightly moved.
This was the first time she had ever seen Li Zhanting harbor murderous intent, and it was all because of her…
Before she could collect her thoughts, Li Zhanting had already taken off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. She snapped out of her daze and instinctively tried to take the jacket off herself. "Hey, Li Zhanting..."
Without saying a word, Li Zhanting picked her up by the waist and placed her in the passenger seat.
Gu Momo felt a strong masculine scent envelop her, and her throat tightened. "Li Zhanting, you don't need to..."
That scoundrel! She's not sick, why does she need to be taken care of like this?!
Li Zhanting leaned down, his previously frosty eyes instantly softening with tenderness. He gently stroked Gu Momo's head with his large, gentle hand and lightly kissed her cheek.
"No matter how you treat me, Momo, remember this: everything I've done for you was voluntary on my part, Li Zhanting."
“Even if you reject me or resist me, I, Li Zhanting, am still willing to be your guardian angel. You can treat me like a lapdog, or even as your bodyguard or servant, but Momo, you must never hide from me.”
