Lin Qing's mouth twitched, almost forming a smile.
The boss was visibly annoyed: "What the hell? I was just about to enjoy myself, and they play this cheesy song? Make them stop it! It's ruining the vibe!"
His subordinate nodded, walking out in irritation: "The boss said—ah!"
Two subordinates collapsed to the ground!
The other men in the room exchanged uneasy glances, drawing their guns and rushing out!
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!!"
The men were flung back as if hit by a flood, the force of the bullets knocking them down one after another, piling up like a human pyramid, groans filling the air!
Each of them had been precisely shot in the left and right shoulders. Some passed out immediately, while others groaned weakly, completely incapacitated.
The boss's face turned pale as he drew his gun and aimed at the doorway—
"Bang!!"
His gun was knocked out of his hand!
Qiao Chuchu walked in, dual pistols smoking, her expression icy: "Don't move."
Lin Qing's eyes lit up: "Woo!!"
The boss turned pale, disbelief etched on his face: "It's you?!"
"Me," Qiao Chuchu raised an eyebrow, stepping closer: "Didn't expect it, did you? I'm a cold-blooded killer."
The boss: "?"
Lin Qing's eyes sparkled.
Before her stood Qiao Chuchu, her voluminous hair tied up with a stick she must have picked up somewhere, a few strands falling loosely. Though petite, she looked incredibly dashing with her dual pistols, her aura commanding!
Pei Buxian's eyes widened in delight.
The Qiao Chu from his novel had come to life!
She was a perfect match for the real-life Qiao Chuchu!
The boss gritted his teeth, his gaze sharp enough to skin Qiao Chuchu alive: "You little brat, you dare cross me?!"
Qiao Chuchu smirked, pressing her gun to his forehead: "Who sent you? Talk."
The man's pupils contracted, his chest heaving: "I don't know!"
Her other gun immediately aimed at his crotch!
The man's face changed dramatically, raising his hands in surrender: "I—I really don't know! The client contacted us through a middleman! Their demand was to humiliate the rich girl, to make her suffer so much that she'd want to kill herself!!"
Lin Qing: "?"
Qiao Chuchu narrowed her eyes: "Proof?"
The man frantically pulled out his phone, handing it over with both hands: "Here, it's all here! The password is 9527!"
She took the phone and shot him in the crotch!
The man: "Ah!!! Why are you still shooting me?!!"
Qiao Chuchu looked puzzled: "I never said I'd let you go. Why are you blaming me for overthinking?"
The man stared in shock at his bleeding body before passing out.
She quickly untied Lin Qing: "Let's go, Sister Lin Qing. I bragged to my brother that I'd rescue you in ten minutes. We’ve got two minutes left!"
Lin Qing nodded, following her.
Pei Yuan, holding his phone, was stunned.
She really did it in ten minutes?
Lou Yuejue whistled: "Ha! Sis really rescued Sister Lin Qing in ten minutes! You’re amazing, sis!!"
The brothers breathed a sigh of relief, adjusting the surveillance cameras to watch Qiao Chuchu and Lin Qing leave the building.
This should be safe now.
Lin Qing tightly gripped Qiao Chuchu's hand, her voice trembling with gratitude: "Chuchu, I don’t know how to thank you. I was so scared you’d get hurt for me. Are you okay?"
"I’m fine," Qiao Chuchu supported her, calm and composed: "Let’s not talk about it now. We need to get to safety first. I parked the car over there and called the police. Senior Lin Shen and my brothers are probably on their way. Let’s hurry; we might run into them, and then we’ll be safe."
Lin Qing nodded eagerly: "Okay, I’ll listen to you, whatever you say!"
Qiao Chuchu led her toward the car.
A Maybach approached from the distance.
She immediately went on alert, shielding Lin Qing.
Lin Qing squinted, her voice rising in joy: "It’s my dad!!"
Chuchu froze, releasing her protective hold: "Why is your dad here?"
Lin Qing didn’t answer, rushing toward the Maybach, waving her hands: "Dad!~"
Mr. Lin stepped out of the car, followed by two burly bodyguards.
His face darkened as he approached Lin Qing, scrutinizing her: "What are you doing here?"
Lin Qing, overjoyed, clutched her chest, too excited to speak at first. After a moment, she managed: "I was just kidnapped, almost assaulted by these men. Luckily, Chuchu arrived just in time and saved me!"
Mr. Lin’s brows furrowed, his sharp gaze landing on Qiao Chuchu: "This shorty saved you?"
Qiao Chuchu: "?"
Who’s he calling short? Baldy!!
Lin Qing smiled, stepping in front of her father, proudly boasting: "Chuchu is incredible. She never misses a shot, she—"
Lin Qing suddenly shuddered!
Her black cashmere coat inexplicably bloomed with a deep red stain.
She stared in disbelief at the hole in her chest, her shocked expression frozen as she collapsed backward, dead on the spot.
Qiao Chuchu was stunned.
As Lin Qing fell, she saw Mr. Lin holding a gun.
In the bitter cold, the silencer on Mr. Lin’s gun still smoked, his face splattered with Lin Qing’s blood.
His already ugly face looked even more sinister with the bloodstains, his calm eyes turning to Qiao Chuchu.
Chuchu instinctively drew her gun!
"Bang!!!"
She was flung to the ground, a bloody hole erupting in her shoulder!
The pain felt like her shoulder was being torn off!
Qiao Chuchu let out an indescribable groan, writhing on the ground in agony!
Damn it! It hurts so much!!
She was drenched in sweat, every muscle in her body tense, like a squid not yet dead on a hot plate. Through tear-filled eyes, she looked up at the grim Mr. Lin.
He stood beside Lin Qing, stepping on her face, his tone mocking: "You’re just like your mother, a ticking time bomb by my side, always ready to explode. Understand me, child. How can anyone live with a bomb in their arms?"
Qiao Chuchu couldn’t believe it!
He was the assassin!
He was the murderer!!
She tremblingly raised her gun at Mr. Lin: "You old bastard!!"
Mr. Lin sneered, raising his gun at her.
Qiao Chuchu tried to pull the trigger but lacked the strength. She faintly heard Pei Yuan’s desperate scream from the surveillance system: "Don’t shoot!!!"
"Bang!!"
-
Qiao Chuchu jolted upright, gasping for air.
The system floated in front of her: "Come on, host. While the emotions are still fresh, let’s go again! Charge!!!"
Before she could react, she was suddenly standing behind Lin Qing.
Lin Qing was happily running toward her father: "Dad!"
Qiao Chuchu’s alarm bells rang. She lunged forward, grabbing Lin Qing and pulling her away:
"Run! Your dad’s the one who hired those men!!"
