Qiao Xi sensed that the grip around her neck had relaxed. In this critical moment, she summoned courage and decisiveness from nowhere, bowing her head and sinking her teeth into Chu Xiuyun's arm.
Shen Dang's gaze drastically changed upon seeing this scene, emotions exploding within his eyes.
After breaking free from Chu Xiuyun's hold, Qiao Xi was already running towards him.
Her profoundly distinct face was filled with resolute determination.
"Get to cover!"
"XiXi—"
Watching the two of them run fearlessly toward each other, Chu Xiuyun pulled the trigger with a dark expression!
"Bang—"
Another gunshot shattered the sky, startling everyone around.
Shen Dang saw the direction from which the bullet was coming and pulled Qiao Xi to the side in an embrace.
Qiao Xi accurately threw herself into Shen Dang's arms, and in that instant, she had no time to think. They both fell to the ground.
The pain from their bodies grinding against the ground abruptly brought back her awareness.
