Xu Qigang stared at Sheng Ning without blinking, his deep eyes shining brightly under the dim night. Looking at the woman he loved, his heart ached as if being twisted by a knife. No one knew his pain, no one knew that at this moment he was almost uncontrollably going mad.
Sheng Ning smiled at him, her pale and fragile cheeks made one feel heartache.
"Xiao Ning." He mouthed silently.
Sheng Ning blinked, tears silently falling. "Do whatever you want, donât let me be a burden."
Li Xia struck her backhand across the face in anger, causing her to stagger. If the knife-holder hadnât supported her, she would have fallen off the boat.
"Iâve told you to be honest for a long time, donât be stubborn." Li Xia pulled Sheng Ning to her side, glaring viciously at Xu Qigang, "Considering weâre all women, Iâve been taking care of your woman. If you really anger me, it wonât be this easy."
When she finished speaking, a subordinate stabbed Sheng Ningâs thigh, causing her to cry out in pain.
"Li Xia, I will never let you go."
"You have guts." Li Xia sneered, "Youâve fallen so low, and still youâre stubborn!"
Xu Qigangâs eyes were bloodshot; in the darkness, a bullet flew from who knows where, hitting the man holding the knife right in the temple. The manâs eyes widened, and he fell into the icy water.
"Living Yama, you scoundrel."
"Hereâs a lesson for you."
Qin Yueâs rogue voice came from the darkness, "You said it yourself, one stab, one life. We didnât kill anyone, yet you took action first, isnât that courting death?"
"Little Hooligan?" Li Xiaâs eyes were red with hate, "Why are you here?" She always remembered Little Hooligan was from the Southern District.
"Tsk tsk tsk..." Qin Yue walked out from the darkness, saying disdainfully, "Seems like your intelligence is quite unreliable! Iâve been here for months, and you didnât know? Your undercover work is quite inadequate, time to learn and improve."
"Damn it!" From the moment Little Hooligan appeared, Li Xia was already thrown into chaos. Her plan was flawless, she prided herself on being unmatched in wisdom, even if this action cost her she was still confident.
But she never calculated that Little Hooligan would come.
Back on the Southern Border Battlefield, Little Hooliganâs reputation wasnât weak either, and even she felt uneasy with these two together.
Sheng Ningâs leg was in a piercing pain, though fortunately the knife hadnât hit any major vessels. Blood flowed down her thigh for a while but slowly stopped, though even like this, she was dizzy and lightheaded.
"Sssss..." The sound of insects slightly rose, Sheng Ningâs head was already down, subconsciously looking towards the sound, seeing half of Chen Yingjieâs face emerging from the water.
Bright eyes, full of spirit.
Seeing her notice him, Chen Yingjie couldnât help but smile. Great, sister-in-law finally saw him. He carefully mimed a diving gesture, Sheng Ning subtly nodded.
Chen Yingjie gave a thumbs up, initially thinking it hard to explain; sister-in-law didnât understand their War Wolf Rescue Teamâs special signaling gestures. Unexpectedly she understood so easily, truly clever.
Actually, it wasnât that Sheng Ning was clever; it was that the situation was very obvious. Moreover, she maintained calmness, not panicking in fear.
Chen Yingjie lurking in the water was to support him, Xu Qigang and Qin Yue stood out to draw Li Xiaâs attention, allowing others to launch a full attack.
All she needed to do was jump into the sea at the moment of attack.
She believed in leaving the rest to Chen Yingjie, certain he could rescue her.
