Zhou Xinlan frowned slightly, recalling the scene at that time.
-
After watching Shang Qi safely take Mu Xiaocheng away, Ji Huaishen focused all his attention on the battle against Zhou Guangbo.
Zhou Guangbo was also driven to desperation, making a last-ditch effort.
In this battle, they all understood that this time, it was either you or me who would die.
Or rather, we all perished together on this ship.
Zhou Guangbo fired a shot at Ji Huaishen as if he were going to die, and shouted, "It's not so bad to have you take my place before I die."
"He died a worthy death." At this moment, Zhou Guangbo had completely gone mad, and he launched an attack on Ji Huaishen as if his life depended on it.
The mechanical countdown continued, cold and merciless, as if announcing someone's death.
At this moment, Zhou Xinlan finally found Ji Huaishen and stood not far from him, shouting loudly, "Ji Huaishen, there's still an exit here!" If they ran fast enough, they could leave before the countdown ended.
But before that, we must get rid of Zhou Guangbo.
There's a door leading to another exit; if they can keep Zhou Guangbo out of there, they can leave safely.
Ji Huaishen was surprised to see Zhou Xinlan here. Although he was astonished, he did as she said.
Since it's a matter of life and death anyway, even if there's only a 0.1% chance, he'll still try.
Otherwise, he would really have no chance at all.
Zhou Guangbo would not allow them to leave like that. He held two guns in his hands and fired at the two men without any mercy.
Even though Zhou Xinlan was his own flesh and blood, he showed no mercy.
Zhou Xinlan ran ahead, while Ji Huaishen provided cover from behind.
At this moment, Ji Huaishen's gun was out of bullets.
They could only run forward quickly, but Zhou Guangbo's gun showed no mercy, and Ji Huaishen ultimately couldn't dodge it.
A cold, hard bullet mercilessly pierced through his calf.
Just then, a figure darted out and suddenly tackled Zhou Guangbo to the ground.
They pinned him to the ground.
Zhou Xinlan was in a hurry to help Ji Huaishen, but she only saw that the person who was holding down Zhou Guangbo was Ji Hanmu.
"Zhou Guangbo, I want you to be buried with Guan Yue and my brother."
Ji Hanmu's roar echoed inside the cabin.
Zhou Guangbo wanted to fire, but he was powerless to do so.
The two of them started fighting, neither willing to give in.
Zhou Xinlan helped Ji Huaishen to the exit, and the two escaped at the last second.
However, due to excessive blood loss and extensive burns, Ji Huaishen's leg had to be amputated.
After listening to Zhou Xinlan's story, Mu Xiaocheng asked, her voice choked with emotion, "Then why didn't he come to find me? Why didn't Lu Beicheng's search team find him back then?" Zhou Xinlan stopped and looked at the flowerbed not far away.
"He was seriously injured at the time, his lower leg was amputated, and all news about him was blocked." "But he's the owner of CASO, and CASO people found him immediately and brought him back to headquarters."
"The reason I didn't contact you is because his last words before he fell into a coma were..." "What were they?" Mu Xiaocheng asked subconsciously.
"He probably knew he was badly injured. He said he didn't want to tell you. He was afraid of giving you hope only to bring you despair later."
Zhou Xinlan still remembers that at that moment, Ji Huaishen was holding that ring in his hand.
He treasured it like it was his life.
