Chapter 1378: This woman deserves to die!
Bang! At the same instant, the dark room shone.
The loud gunshot alarmed Ji Ziming, who was still looking for Pei Ge, and the special forces who were moving to rescue the mother-child pair.
Everyone started scrambling the moment they heard the sound.
“Leader, the sound came from seven o’clock by the fifth window!”
“Okay! Have the sniper get ready!”
Besides alarming everyone, the gunshot also exposed Qiao Jingyun’s position.
The woman did not know this, though.
She continued peering into the darkness before her…
In the empty room, the gunshot’s sound still echoed about, making one feel panicky.
“Hur hur! Pei Ge, you are truly not afraid at all!”
She looked at the woman, who made no move to avoid her shot, and was extremely pissed.
She had purposely misfired just then.
Because…
“You and I know it. Since you hate me to the bone, why would kill me with one shot?”
The other spoke in a cold voice. While trying to escape moments ago, she had already guessed her thoughts.
Having been agitated by Fu Mingxuan earlier, the woman did not simply want to kill her. She most likely wanted her to die in pain.
Such as making her watch Ji Chi die before her very eyes…
Hence, she decided to risk looking for a way to escape their dangerous predicament as she kept her son hidden.
Otherwise, if this mad woman were to find him first, who knew what she would do to him?
“As expected, your moniker on Wall Street isn’t for show!”
Qiao Jingyun coldly smirked when she correctly guessed her thoughts.
“Do you think you’ll be able to bring your son out of here alive? Let me tell you: It’s impossible!”
With that, she made another shot. The bullet pierced through one of Pei Ge’s arms this time.
“Ugh!”
The pain gradually seeping through from her shot arm made her moan; her face then turned white as beads of sweat peppered her forehead.
It was easy to see that the pain was gradually getting to her.
“Ha ha ha!”
The other woman laughed maniacally at the sight of her in pain and not looking alright.
“Pei Ge, Pei Ge… Do you know? Your son has been leading such a pitiful life for these past five years. How do you think I’d treat him when I hate you so much? I believe you know since you are so clever!”
With that, she let out another maniacal and smug laughter.
Bearing with the excruciating pain, Pei Ge glared at her with fury and hate. Her eyes seemed to be set ablaze by such emotions.
This woman deserves to die!
“Ha ha! Feeling heartache? I love your present expression!”
Feeling her hate and anger, Qiao Jingyun laughed even more happily.
“Compared to you, though, what I’ve been through is far more painful, furious and heartbreaking.
“What does this tiny bit of pain you’re feeling now amount to?”
She cocked an eyebrow and gave her a distasteful look.
“All the pain I’ve felt isn’t something you—”
Pei Ge butt in before the other could finish speaking.
“I’m not interested to know about your pain; I’m not even surprised that a person like you is suffering!”
