In reality, Xia Yinian hadn’t seen clearly at all what that flash of silver on the speedboat was.
But subconsciously, she had moved to stand in front of Gu Beicheng.
Because she felt danger...
Xia Yinian’s intuition had never been so accurate!
With a bang, a bullet landed where they had been standing.
By then, Gu Beicheng and Xia Yinian had already rolled to one side.
Of course, it wasn’t Xia Yinian who had pushed Gu Beicheng away; how could she have such strength?
It was Gu Beicheng who, upon hearing her call, had quickly embraced her and rolled to the side.
Xia Yinian hadn’t reacted when two more shots rang out, and two bullets struck the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Lady Nian!" Xia Yinian, terrified, clung tightly to the man beside her.
Her trembling hands protected his back as if to shield his body with her own frail hands.
A trace of warmth, imperceptible to others, crossed the depths of Gu Beicheng’s eyes; he hadn’t expected this stubborn girl to think of protecting him in a mont of danger.
But how could he need the protection of a little girl?
With a stretch of his long legs, he shattered the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window with a kick and rolled onto the ground with Xia Yinian.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them had already returned to the room.
"Stay here and don’t run around." He put Xia Yinian behind a cabinet, took sothing out of the drawer, and turned to jump out of the window.
"Lady Nian!" Xia Yinian was completely frightened!
God, this was the eighth floor! How could Uncle jump down from the window on the eighth floor?
From such a high position above the sea, falling into the water was certainly deadly! How could he?
Without giving Xia Yinian ti to think further, suddenly, the sound of approaching footsteps echoed; Chi He and his n burst in.
"Miss Niannian!" There was no trace of Gu Beicheng in the room, only Xia Yinian, terrified behind the cabinet.
Chi He urgently asked, "Where’s the Seventh Young Master?"
"Uncle jumped down from the window." Xia Yinian’s face was full of anxiousness.
"Not good, the Seventh Young Master has gone off to pursue that speedboat alone." Chi He’s expression changed, and he shouted, "You stay here to protect Miss Niannian, the rest of you, co with !"
Although no one doubted the Seventh Young Master’s capabilities, the fact that the enemy had guns was extrely dangerous.
Soone as esteed as the Seventh Young Master couldn’t afford to be injured in the slightest! "Hurry!"
A group of n followed Chi He and rushed out, leaving three bodyguards in the room, surrounding Xia Yinian to prevent any possibility of an assassin breaking into the room.
Xia Yinian really wanted to look out the window to see the situation below, but as soon as she tried to stand up, a bodyguard firmly pushed her back down.
"Miss Niannian, I apologize, but the assassin might still be lurking. You must not stick your head out."
Xia Yinian knew that sticking her head out at this ti could get her shot in the head in an instant!
But she was really worried.
Uncle had just jumped down from here; how was he now? Was he injured? Had there been... an accident?
She was truly concerned.
The cruise ship was large, and at this ti, almost everyone was playing on the beach, so the shooting incident hadn’t alard many people.
The sound of the speedboat reached from the sea below, yet Xia Yinian still had no chance to see anything.
Before long, another group of people burst in.
Gu Lingqian hurried to the cabinet and crouched in front of Xia Yinian: "Niannian, are you hurt?"
"I... I’m fine." Xia Yinian shook her head, her gaze still unconsciously glancing toward the window: "How is Uncle...?"
