Chapter 439: A Life and Death Struggle (Part Three)

Shangguan Ning returned to the room with Shangguan Rouxue. She had counted carefully this time and understood that they were on the 6th floor in a residential building.

It was late at night and the surrounding was quiet.

Seeing Shangguan Ning returning, Ji Bo instantly stood up with a smile. But his face sunk when he saw Shangguan Rouxue enter as well.

“Didn’t I ask you to stay down?”

Ji Bo sounded very distant, different from his usual gentle self.

Shangguan Ning got slightly startled but she didn’t think it mattered.

It was a good thing if Ji Bo treated Shangguan Rouxue coldly. If they were in a conflict with each other, she might get a chance to escape.

Shangguan Ning had the gun in her hand and she was prepared to pull the trigger. She aimed the gun at Shangguan Rouxue as she approached Ji Bo and stood next to him, releasing a sigh of relief.

No matter how much Ji Bo wanted to fight Jing Yichen, he still treated her gently. That was his personality.

Or maybe, Ji Bo did have... special feelings towards her, just as Shangguan Rouxue said?

Whatever the case, she was not scared of Shangguan Rouxue. They both had guns aimed at each other’s face, but neither of them would dare to pull the trigger under the current circumstances.

Shangguan Ning was in an advantageous state at the moment.

Shangguan Rouxue didn’t care about Ji Bo’s coldness. She was here to certify if Ji Bo liked her. If he did, it would be a wonderful thing, good enough to tease Yang Muyan.

“I am here to ask you one thing. I will leave after I am done. But you must tell me the truth, or I will kill Shangguan Ning instantly if you try and lie!”

Ji Bo had never liked Shangguan Rouxue. He thought of her as an evil woman, one who only pretended to be an innocent woman.

Even a woman like Yang Muyan had once been her victim.

“Put down the gun, first. The plan is to guarantee that Shangguan Ning is alive. If you want to act like a maniac, do it somewhere else!”

Ji Bo said as he pulled Shangguan Ning behind him to shield her with his body.

Shangguan Ning got a bit startled standing behind the tall Ji Bo.

Could Shangguan Rouxue and Ji Lili have been telling the truth?

Ji Bo liked her?

Shangguan Rouxue wanted to shoot her, but Ji Bo was willing to protect her.

She had thought that there was only one man in this world who would take a bullet for her, but Ji Bo was willing too.

This was impossible!

Shangguan Ning knew that Ji Bo and Jing Yichen were totally different. Jing Yichen could sacrifice everything but not her, but Ji Bo regarded his family more important than anything else in the world. He would not give up family or business just for the sake of a woman, let alone giving up his life.

He must be thinking that getting her behind his back would keep her safe, since Shangguan Rouxue was not going to shoot him.

Whatever the case, what Ji Bo was doing, moved Shangguan Ning. She was extremely grateful to him at this moment.

But Shangguan Rouxue got extremely furious about Ji Bo defending Shangguan Ning and she was about to say something when the door behind her was kicked open with a bang!

Everyone got startled.

Shangguan Rouxue turned her head to see the person at the door.

The last thing that she saw was a man dressed in a black coat with a gun in his hand. He stared at her and pulled the trigger without blinking.

The bullet flew towards her and blood splashed all around.

Shangguan Rouxue started to lose consciousness. The pain that arose when the bullet hit her head was soon gone and she was consumed by the darkness.

Jing Yichen had no expression on his face when he killed her.

That was the second life which he had taken tonight.

One second later, he aimed at the other person in the room and started to pull the trigger once again.

“Yichen, no!”

Shangguan Ning cried out all of a sudden.

But it was too late. The bullet in Jing Yichen’s hand dashed towards the target with a loud sound.

The bullet went through Ji Bo’s chest. He fell on the ground with his hands over his chest.

Shangguan Ning got so frightened that she went pale. She squatted down and held onto his arms and asked anxiously, “Ji Bo, how are you? Hold on, I will call the doctor now...”

Before she finished her words, Jing Yichen swept her into his arms.

He looked furious and his eyes were full of heartache.

She cared about Ji Bo, the bastard’s life? Didn’t she know that he had almost gone crazy tonight? He had used all of his forces. Everyone was busy searching every inch of this land.

Shouldn’t she throw herself into his arms and report to him all that had happened?!

How come she started to care about Ji Bo’s life when they had not seen each other for one hour?

Shangguan Ning was very happy to see Jing Yichen and her first reaction was to throw herself into his arms. But Ji Bo being shot, froze her.

She had been very grateful to Ji Bo for keeping her shielded behind his back a moment ago. Jing Yichen should not have killed him when that man was willing to keep her safe.

Shangguan Ning knew that Jing Yichen would want to put some more bullets into Ji Bo judging from his expression. She knew him too well!

She took hold of Jing Yichen’s neck and said at a fast speed, “Yichen, Ji Bo protected me just now. Don’t shoot him anymore. I am fine, get some help for him!”

Jing Yichen’s face shrunk.

Save Ji Bo?

Ridiculous!

He had been very tolerant not to kill Ji Bo, instantly.

The bullet from his gun had barely missed Ji Bo’s heart because of Shangguan Ning’s cry. But if he didn’t receive medical care, Ji Bo would eventually bleed to death.

Jing Yichen carried Shangguan Ning and started to walk outwards, ignoring Ji Bo entirely.

Nestled in pain and lying on the ground, Ji Bo’s hands were full of his own blood.

Seeing Jing Yichen leaving with Shangguan Ning, he scooped out his cell phone from his pocket with great difficulty and dialed a number.
