He directly used his sleeve to carefully wipe the dust off her nose. There were still cobwebs in her hair, and he couldn’t help but furrow his brow tightly. "Where did you crawl out from like a beggar? How did you get yourself so dirty?"
Even if she was kidnapped, she shouldn’t be this filthy.
Chenxing imdiately boasted, "Oh, my cousin and I crawled through the air duct trying to escape, but when we erged from the restroom, we were unlucky enough to run into a man going to the toilet, and we got caught again!"
"Who told you to crawl?" Gu Shaocheng’s gaze darkened as he raised his head, locking onto Luo Xi, who was having her wounds tended by Yan Fengchi. It was all because of this woman, constantly getting him into trouble. Chenxing was perfectly fine at ho, and she took her out shopping!
Chenxing noticed Shaocheng was angry and patted his hand regrettably, "We could have escaped. It was just bad luck!"
Luo Xi, receiving a warning look, approached Gu Shaocheng and said, "The box, you have to help get it back, and also...
In the earpiece, Nan Baihao’s voice beca background noise, "Brother, I’m chasing the helicopter and won’t let them escape. You can rest assured and comfort your little sister-in-law."
Luo Xi continued, "The employer from years ago who did business with our rcenary group, I’ve found out. His na is Gu Fei. But he’s just an interdiary. The ones truly doing business with our rcenary group are the ones who kidnapped Chenxing and today."
"Gu Fei?" Gu Shaocheng’s face instantly turned frosty.
Luo Xi crossed her arms and nodded, "Who is he?"
"Shaocheng’s third granduncle," Chenxing said to Luo Xi and then to Gu Shaocheng, "I was planning to tell you this, you know."
Luo Xi raised an eyebrow slightly, "My box, it was retrieved by my captain at the cost of his life. I won’t give it to anyone. You have to help get it back, consider it a favor I owe you, take care of it, Gu... brother-in-law."
Gu Shaocheng’s mouth twitched, "..."
His eyes fell on Luo Xi and then onto Yan Fengchi, finally letting out a light snort, "Fengchi is younger than !"
Daring to call him brother-in-law, that term just sounded wrong wherever you put it!
Luo Xi was animated, "I’m Chenxing’s cousin. What’s it got to do with Fengchi! Gu... brother-in-law, I’m begging you."
Calling out those three words felt incredibly awkward. Wanting to pull family relations can’t just be done like this; isn’t this creating animosity?
Gu Shaocheng would never call her sister. He thought for a mont, "You’re not Chenxing’s real cousin, no blood relation, call brother like Fengchi does!"
"Brother-in-law!"
"Call that again! You’ll never get the box back."
Geez, that’s a powerful threat! Luo Xi’s eyes turned, and her voice rang out loud and clear, "If you get the box back, you’ll be my big brother!"
As soon as these words ca out, it was Yan Fengchi’s turn to be all smiles. He imdiately held Luo Xi with what felt like his whole heart. Even if he had to go to heaven and back, he had to bring out what his queen wanted, right? He imdiately took out his phone and called Nan Baihao, "Third brother, my happiness for the rest of my life depends on you."
Nan Baihao was bewildered, "What does your lower body happiness have to do with ? Hey, I’m not Hua Hua; I don’t do gay relationships. Don’t fall in love with ! I have a family, I have Huanhuan!"
Yan Fengchi, "..........."
"I an, you absolutely can’t let them go, get the box back, and I’ll treat you to a big al later." Yan Fengchi explained earnestly after a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
On the other side, Nan Baihao let out a long oh, then said, "You scared . I thought you were interested in ."
Yan Fengchi’s mouth twitched fiercely again!
"Alright, let’s head back. Don’t just stand here in the cold wind." Gu Shaocheng, eager to take his little stray cat ho for a good bath and to feed her so nice food to calm her down, said to those around him, "Clean this place up."
"Yes, sir!" The subordinates respectfully went to carry him off the cargo ship onto the speedboat.
Luo Xi and Yan Fengchi had already boarded the speedboat first, and Chenxing stood beside Gu Shaocheng, looking back at the cargo ship, where a group of people was tidying up the deck.
At that mont, Chenxing wasn’t sure if her eyes were playing tricks, but when the bodyguards reacted, they saw her suddenly use her body to shield Gu Shaocheng’s back, followed by a dull sound.
Bam—
Then, the bodyguards who ca to their senses started firing in retaliation.
There were still people in the cabin!
"Damn it!"
"Quick, search!"
A group of bodyguards quickly rushed into the cabin, and Gu Shaocheng turned around to glance at his back and then at the bodyguards charging into the cabin. The next second, Chenxing’s head fell onto his shoulder.
"Chenxing?" Gu Shaocheng instinctively called out to her, "You get on the boat first."
"Mm..." Chenxing said, but her hands wrapped around his neck.
Leng Tong, directing the bodyguards to carry Gu Shaocheng down to the speedboat, suddenly noticed sothing and shouted, "Miss Chen Xing?"
"Miss Chen Xing!"
"Sir!"
Gu Shaocheng looked blankly at Leng Tong, a bad premonition suddenly rising in his heart. The next thing he heard was Leng Tong rushing up to support Chen Xing, and for a mont, his world went blank.
The words from Leng Tong in his ear: "She’s been shot!"
Leng Tong hugged Chenxing tightly, and Gu Shaocheng took Chenxing’s hand from Leng Tong, noticing that one of Leng Tong’s hands was covered in blood.
"Shot in the heart!" Leng Tong’s following words, it was unclear whether they were trembling by nature, or if Gu Shaocheng’s ears were trembling.
At that mont, looking at the woman in his arms, his mouth slightly opened, completely unsure how to react.
Luo Xi had already jumped back from the speedboat, shouting, "Chenxing, Chenxing, what’s wrong, what’s wrong?"
She covered her mouth, not daring to breathe, and everyone gathered around as the scene quickly descended into chaos!
The only man holding her was struggling to find composure, staring intently at her face, his eyes almost popping out.
"I... what happened to ?" Chenxing looked at Leng Tong’s serious expression, the panicked expressions around her, Luo Xi covering her mouth and not daring to breathe, and once again, Gu Shaocheng, who didn’t know how to articulate his words, "Shaocheng..."
She had no idea what she had just done!
It seed like she sensed so danger, like seeing a bullet flying towards Shaocheng’s back. She forgot how she reacted, but in that mont, she instinctively didn’t want Shaocheng to get hurt. And then?
"...I’m... I’m here." Gu Shaocheng’s voice, the mont it escaped, sounded nearly like he was about to cry.
