Li Zhiqian’s gaze lingered on Phoenix for a while.
At last, Li Zhiqian spoke, "It was I who killed Xiao Zhan. If you want revenge, just co after . Let Phoenix go; you know very well how much Xiao Zhan cared for her. If you harm even a strand of her hair, I believe my big brother wouldn’t spare you even as a ghost."
Lei Shengting burst into loud laughter: "Was my brother a fool? Really too foolish. Since ancient tis, heroes have struggled to pass the beauty’s test. In the end, he died by the hands of his best friend and the woman he loved most. How could I release my anger if not by killing you all?"
With those words, Lei Shengting moved next to Phoenix, holding a gun directly against her head, "My brother took ten bullets, each one fatal. Tell , shouldn’t I take it back from her very being?"
"No!"
Li Zhiqian shouted.
All his composure and calm seed to turn to ashes in that very mont.
Li Zhiqian struggled to walk over, almost kneeling down in front of Lei Shengting: "It was all my doing. Phoenix has nothing to do with this. Whatever grudges or hatreds you have, let them all fall upon my head. Let her go, take my life instead,"
But Phoenix just stared blankly at Li Zhiqian, saying, "Ah Zhan, what on earth are you talking about?"
Li Zhiqian turned his head towards her and suddenly smiled, "It’s alright. This is just a dream. Close your eyes, and you will soon wake up. Rember, this is just a dream."
Phoenix actually closed her eyes as if under a spell.
Lei Shengting threw the gun in his hand to the ground and said to Li Zhiqian, "My brother took ten bullets. Now, you two owe ten bullets to settle this. You have already taken two bullets, and there are eight left in this pistol. Whether you share them or you take them all yourself, just empty out the bullets in this gun, and we’ll leave."
Li Zhiqian’s gaze fell on the handgun on the ground.
Li Zhiqian said, "So as long as these eight bullets all hit , you’ll let Phoenix go, right?"
Lei Shengting responded, "The condition is that you don’t die. If you die after two or three bullets and can’t take it anymore, then the remaining bullets, I’ll have to give them to her."
Li Zhiqian, however, just smiled, "Don’t worry, I won’t die."
Li Zhiqian imdiately picked up the handgun from the ground.
Li Zhiqian went on to say, "I have only one request—can soone cover Phoenix’s ears?"
Lei Shengting laughed, "Alright, I’ll find soone for you. You, co over here. Aren’t you with them?"
After saying that, Lei Shengting took out another gun and pointed it in a direction, firing a shot.
Xia Yangyang felt a bullet graze past her cheek.
In that instant, her heart almost stopped beating.
She heard everything on the deck loud and clear.
And at that mont, after Lei Shengting fired a shot, the dark muzzle was pointed in Xia Yangyang’s direction.
Lu Haotian said beside her, "We’ve been discovered."
Then, almost reflexively, he pulled Xia Yangyang behind him.
He took a step forward himself, facing the gun muzzle.
But at this ti, Xia Yangyang was paradoxically not afraid.
Xia Yangyang, despite witnessing all this, was powerless.
Maybe in the end, she could only watch the tragedy unfold before her eyes.
Now that they had been discovered, there was no need to hide anymore.
And the Ferris wheel had also been tampered with, eventually coming to rest on the ground.
Two n in camouflage uniform had already approached.
Lu Haotian stood in front of Xia Yangyang, "What do you want to do?"
