"Fuying! No!" Mo Feng could only shout helplessly as she was about to pull the trigger.
Just as everyone turned their heads away, unable to bear the prospect of the horrific scene that was about to unfold, Fu Ying let out a muffled groan, and the pistol slipped from her hand and fell to the ground.
Arsen didn't even have time to observe what had happened. He rolled over twice and picked up the pistol from the ground.
Mo Feng turned his head and saw the remaining unused stones in Ye Sijue's hand, as well as Fu Ying, who was clutching her wrist in pain.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Ye Sijue was there and knocked the gun out of Fuying's hand with a pebble; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
"Fuying, do you know what you're doing? Do you really want to kill us?" Mo Feng was still trembling with fear.
Asen and the other subordinates of the Dark Night Alliance were also still shaken.
"Miss Fuying, please don't do anything so foolish again. Even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance, we should still take the plunge, shouldn't we?"
Seeing that Mo Feng and Asen were quite frightened, Fu Ying lowered her head in guilt.
In truth, she simply didn't know what else she could do in the face of such a desperate situation. She had never experienced so many people going to such lengths to keep her alive. She didn't know how to accept it, and at the same time, she felt even more desperate.
Moreover, Ye Sijue was also in this queue.
Oh, right... where's Ye Sijue?
Fu Ying suddenly realized what was happening, turned around and looked around, but couldn't see him at all.
"Yes, where is Ye Sijue?"
"Could he have gone to hold off the pursuers all by himself?" a subordinate of the Dark Night Alliance speculated.
Everyone's expression changed drastically, and they all looked at Fu Ying.
Fu Ying stood there, stunned, when coincidentally, a series of sounds rang out in the distance, each shot feeling like it struck her heart.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, she frantically scrambled to her feet and ran in the direction they had come from.
"Fuying! You can't go! Come back quickly!" Mo Feng caught up with her and pulled her back.
"Assistant Mo, let me go! Let me go!" Fu Ying cried out with tears streaming down her face, but no matter how much she struggled, Mo Feng refused to let go of her.
“Fuying, you need to understand that the reason Ye Sijue chose to turn back and lure those people away was to buy us time to escape. If you go back now, all his efforts will be in vain!”
"No, I don't want him to save me! Who cares if he comes to save me!" Fu Ying cried out in anguish, desperately trying to break free from her restraints.
The gunfire continued, getting closer and closer to them.
Asen peeked out and immediately returned to report in a low voice, "They've gone up to the mountaintop. It seems that Ye Sijue lured them away. We can't delay any longer. Let's take this opportunity to leave quickly."
Upon hearing Asen's report, Fuying's heart sank completely.
She never imagined that Ye Sijue would be so resolute, refusing to say a single word to her, and silently choosing to sacrifice himself to allow them to leave.
Exhausted, she collapsed to the ground, but a wave of sorrow washed over her.
“Fuying, come with me.” Mo Feng looked at her with heartache. “Ye Sijue did this to save us, so we can’t let him down. We must find a way to escape. If he can hold on, we can save him once reinforcements arrive.”
Mo Feng's words were like a ray of light, rekindling hope in the despairing Fu Ying.
"Yes, Assistant Mo, Ye Sijue can still be saved, right! As long as we can bring reinforcements, we can save him!"
Thinking of this, Fu Ying immediately wiped away her tears, got up from the ground with unwavering determination, ignoring the tearing pain in her wrists, and pulled Mo Feng to start walking down the mountain.
As a notorious figure on the international assassin list, Ye Sijue was the target of countless organizations vying for his head. Therefore, when his identity was exposed, the criminal organization was thrown into complete chaos.
Everyone abandoned their pursuit of Fu Ying and Mo Feng, and all headed towards Ye Sijue's direction, which made Fu Ying and Mo Feng's journey down the mountain much smoother.
As soon as Mo Feng reached the foot of the mountain, he ran into Director Liu, who was arriving late.
When the nurses in the ambulance saw people coming down the mountain, they immediately came forward to prepare to give everyone a basic check-up.
Mo Feng ignored the inspection and walked straight towards Director Liu. "Director Liu! Why are you only arriving now! Something has happened on the mountain! Come with us to check it out!"
In the urgency of the situation, he had completely forgotten to use honorifics.
Director Liu didn't seem to care, his thick black eyebrows furrowed. "We've had more than one call from people reporting gunfire and explosions on the mountain. What's going on?"
"It's a long story. We have another partner trapped on the mountaintop. You should send your men up to reinforce him!" Mo Feng pulled Director Liu aside and then whispered a reminder, "The people on the mountain are our young mistress's friends."
"Hey, what are we waiting for? Everyone check your equipment and head up the mountain. Contact headquarters and have them send planes and special personnel to the top of the mountain to provide support."
"Assistant Mo, take me upstairs with you!" Fu Ying's dislocated hand had been reset by the doctor, and the other abrasions had only been treated with simple bandaging.
Looking into her eyes, which were filled with a mixture of expectation and sorrow, Mo Feng felt a pang of pity.
These people had only met Ye Sijue once, but he was irreplaceable to Fu Ying.
However, even if Ye Sijue had great skills, his chances of surviving against the criminal organization's heavy weapons and assassins were almost zero. He really couldn't bear to let Fuying see him die a miserable death.
