BXBX NOVEL Chapter 108 - 108 Injured!
——————
Over in F Prefecture, Lu Ning had also woken up.
In a daze, she opened her eyes; and the first person she saw was Qinglang.
Lu Ning kept blinking for a long time.
Qinglang also stared at her. After a while, he looked away. “She’s awake.”
He was speaking to some people not far away.
Gu Zi ran over the fastest. “Baby! You’re awake!”
Lu Ning wanted to sit up, so Gu Chen used a pillow to prop her back.
Lu Ning scanned her surroundings, and was astonished. “Ninth Brother? Sixth Brother? Why are you here? Where are we?”
She looked at the unfamiliar environment.
Before they answered, she remembered something else.
“What’s the time?!”
Her gaze landed on Qinglang’s watch; she yanked his arm closer to take a look.
“Are we still in F Prefecture?”
Gu Zi nodded.
After Lu Ning did some calculations, she was instantly sober.
“It’s over, it’s all over! It’s already afternoon in A City! My parents won’t call the police, right? Hurry, hurry, let’s go back. We have to go back quickly!”
Gu Chen grabbed her. “Don’t panic, I’ve already arranged everything. We can set off after you freshen up.”
Lu Ning immediately nodded. “I’m awake, I’m all awake! Look, I’m quite fine now.” As she spoke, she bounced twice in front of Gu Chen.
Gu Chen could not help but smile.
Song Wenqi’s subordinates had just arrived, and the group prepared to return the way they came.
They would be traveling by helicopter again. Qinglang was worried and followed them on land to the border of F Prefecture; when he felt relieved enough, he went back the way he came.
The group on the aircraft heaved a sigh of relief after leaving F Prefecture.
And they had thought that they could fly back to A City safely after all that was over; however, they were attacked again in B City, not far away from A City.
Even if they were prepared, the same kind of attack was still unavoidable.
The aircraft crash-landed on an uninhabited mountain in the suburbs of B City.
Perhaps it was because she had already experienced it once, but Lu Ning’s ears only rang a little this time. She soon recovered, and could hear guns firing all around her.
“Head southeast!”
Lu Ning hurriedly unbuckled her seatbelt and ran towards the southeast.
…
“It’s just ahead, we’ll be there soon. Other than my helicopter here, you won’t be able to find one anywhere else…”
Chu Ting and Huo Jinyan were following someone when a thunderous boom reverberated from somewhere, and fumes began to rise from the mountain not far in front of them; they also heard gunshots, which unnerved the other person so much he turned tail and ran. Chu Ting and Huo Jinyan stayed where they were to observe the situation when Huo Jinyan saw a figure darting down the mountain.
No one knew how it happened, but when Huo Jinyan and the others had crept over, Lu Ning also ran there, albeit with someone chasing after her. Huo Jinyan wanted to pull her into safety, gesturing to her with his body sideways, but he did not notice the person chasing after Lu Ning with a gun.
Lu Ning turned around, and realized that the person somehow had his muzzle aimed straight at Huo Jinyan. Then, he fired—Lu Ning did not have time to think and pounced onto Huo Jinyan.
When Huo Jinyan caught her, the bullet also struck her back!
In the confusion, the two of them tumbled and rolled down the mountain together.
Huo Jinyan clutched Lu Ning’s head to protect her. When they finally came to a stop, he quickly looked at the person in his arms; her eyes were shut tight, and her face was pale. Blood kept flowing out from behind her.
“Lu Ning!” An unprecedented look of dread flashed across Huo Jinyan’s eyes…
