Lin Qing: "???"
She thought she had misheard: "What did you say?"
Qiao Chuchu dragged Lin Qing to the back of the house to hide, her adrenaline surging from fear, her body feeling light and her voice trembling: "Sister Lin Qing, look, this is a secluded place with no one around. This rundown house is clearly a hideout for these criminals. I only notified your brother and my brother, not your father. How would your father know you’re here?"
Lin Qing was completely baffled: "Maybe he saw my car? He came to check on me?"
Qiao Chuchu froze, let out an incredulous laugh, and didn’t know what to say.
[I’ve already died once, and Sister Lin Qing died once too. I saw with my own eyes how Sister Lin Qing was shot dead by her father, right in the heart, without even a chance to speak!]
[That terrifying feeling, I don’t even know how to describe it.]
[I can only say that my shoulder still hurts from it!]
[After shooting, Lin Qing’s father said she was a ticking time bomb, and he couldn’t live with a bomb forever. At that time, Sister Lin Qing was already dead, so she couldn’t hear what he said.]
[But now, Sister Lin Qing hasn’t experienced being shot by her father. What can I say to make her believe me?]
[If it were me, and Sister Lin Qing told me my brother came here to kill me, I wouldn’t believe it either.]
[What should I do?!]
Sweat dripped from Qiao Chuchu’s forehead as she brainstormed furiously, her ears straining to catch any sounds.
Lin Qing stared at Qiao Chuchu in shock, completely stunned.
Not just Lin Qing, but everyone watching the backyard surveillance footage was dumbfounded.
Lin Qing and Qiao Chuchu… were killed by Lin Dahai?!
Lin Dahai was Lin Qing and Lin Shen’s biological father!
Lin Shen’s head was buzzing as he watched the two girls huddled behind the clutter on the screen.
Dad… killed my sister… killed the person I love.
Lin Shen’s hands trembled on the steering wheel, a wave of nausea and dull pain surging into his stomach.
His teeth chattered as he gasped for air, as if breathing through his nose would suffocate him instantly, but even taking deep breaths didn’t help.
He felt an indescribable suffocation.
So suffocating that his eyes gradually turned red.
Lin Qing, however, was surprisingly calm.
The stench of the men still clung to her, wafting into her nostrils with the wind.
It was disgusting.
But it wasn’t the smell that made her feel sick.
On the other side, Lin Dahai stood in the courtyard like a statue.
His gaze calmly swept over the figures inside the house, and he spoke gently: "Daughter? What’s wrong? Are you hurt? Let Dad take a look at you."
Qiao Chuchu’s breath hitched, and she quickly covered Lin Qing’s mouth like a leopard!
"Don’t make a sound!" Qiao Chuchu’s voice was almost crushed by the wind: "Don’t answer him, trust me!"
[I don’t know how to save Sister Lin Qing, but if he shoots, even if I survive, Sister Lin Qing might still die! I can’t watch her die! She’s so amazing and good!!]
Lin Qing froze, tears suddenly filling her eyes.
Large teardrops rolled down her cheeks as she moved Qiao Chuchu’s hand away: "I believe you."
She cried profusely, speaking solemnly: "I only believe you."
Qiao Chuchu was stunned, but before she could process it, she heard footsteps closing in from both sides.
She grabbed her gun and fired in both directions!
Two bodyguards quickly took cover behind obstacles!
Qiao Chuchu grabbed Lin Qing’s hand and dashed into the overgrown weeds, but soon her gun ran out of bullets.
Damn it!
She had no choice but to drop the gun and run with Lin Qing.
The bodyguards aimed their guns at their retreating figures.
Lin Dahai pressed down on one of the bodyguards’ gun barrels: "Don’t hurt her! She’s my precious daughter!!!"
Lin Qing stumbled at these words, glancing back at Lin Dahai.
Lin Dahai lowered his voice to warn the bodyguard: "Don’t shoot unless you’re absolutely sure. Don’t let them know I’m trying to kill them! Chase them!"
The bodyguard nodded and pursued Qiao Chuchu!
Qiao Chuchu sensed someone was catching up!
There was nothing here but a patch of overgrown weeds left from summer.
But that was enough to cover them!
She took off her fur coat and hung it on the weeds, then pulled Lin Qing in the opposite direction: "This way!!"
Qiao Chuchu opened her phone and shared her location in a WeChat group: "Hurry up and come! Or you’ll be collecting our corpses!!"
The bodyguard pushed through the weeds and saw Qiao Chuchu’s coat standing in the distance. He ran over and reached out—
"Damn it?! Just a coat?!"
The other bodyguard was furious: "That bitch knows how to set a decoy?!"
Lin Qing stumbled behind Qiao Chuchu, her high heels making it difficult to walk: "Do you have any bullets left?"
Qiao Chuchu shook her head cautiously: "No, not a single one."
Lin Qing frowned, her foot twisting, and a sharp pain shot through her ankle: "Ah!"
Qiao Chuchu was startled but didn’t hesitate. She hoisted Lin Qing onto her shoulder and kept running!
Lin Qing: "?!"
Qiao Chuchu carried her as if she were a sack of rice: "We can’t stop, or they’ll find us!"
Lin Qing was shocked, but a strange sense of security washed over her.
Qiao Chuchu broke through the weeds and reached the main road.
A bodyguard was already waiting at the end, running toward them: "Miss Lin, Miss Qiao, we’re here to rescue you!"
Qiao Chuchu gritted her teeth.
It seemed there was no escape.
Fine!
She set Lin Qing down and screamed as she lunged at the man: "Then I’m so happy! Thank you hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
Bodyguard: "?!"
Lin Qing: "?!"
Qiao Chuchu aimed for the bodyguard’s waist, thrusting forward with all her might!
?
It didn’t budge.
The bodyguard looked at her in confusion: "Miss, I work out every day. My body is as hard as iron."
Qiao Chuchu’s face darkened, and she kicked him in the groin: "I don’t believe it!!!!"
The bodyguard’s veins bulged as he doubled over in pain: "Ugh!!!"
Qiao Chuchu laughed: "Ha! Your ass is so high now, you could balance a soda bottle on it!"
Suddenly, a shadow loomed behind her!
She turned in shock!
Another bodyguard was swinging a punch at her!
Caught off guard, she widened her eyes—
Lin Qing leapt up with a brick in hand and smashed it into the bodyguard’s head: "Go to hell!!!"
Bodyguard: "!"
Qiao Chuchu: "!"
She watched as the bodyguard went limp, his eyes rolling back as he collapsed to the ground, blood soaking the earth.
Lin Qing held the bloodied brick, her eyes filled with murderous intent: "We’re the ones who’ll win in the end! Do you hear me?!"
The man groaned, trying to get up.
Lin Qing slammed the brick into his head again with a loud "thud"!
The man was completely knocked out!
Lin Qing panted heavily, looking at Qiao Chuchu: "Are you okay, Chuchu?"
Qiao Chuchu shook her head in a daze: "I’m fine."
Lin Qing had already taken off her cumbersome high heels and limped over to take Qiao Chuchu’s hand: "Let’s go quickly."
Qiao Chuchu nodded repeatedly, but when she turned around, she saw six bodyguards emerging from the weeds, their eyes cold and menacing.
Lin Qing’s face turned pale.
Qiao Chuchu: "????????"
[No way… Am I going to die again?!]
[I only have four chances left!]
