Chapter 1284: Whereabouts Exposed
Editor: Atlas Studios
Not long after, Arthur realized that there was something strange in the forest ahead.
He immediately pulled Shi Qian towards the coconut grove on the left.
Fortunately, it was nighttime and it was hard to see. Moreover, Shi Qian and he were wearing dark clothes.
There were many rocks in the direction of the coconut grove that could be used as cover.
The two of them leaned against a large rock as Shi Qian panted heavily.
Another round of gunshots sounded. She immediately looked around warily. “What happened? Who are these people? Didn’t you leave many bodyguards on the island? Why didn’t your people notice when these people came to the island?”
Arthur’s face was cold and hard. He did not answer Shi Qian’s question.
When his bodyguards were in Country F, a large number of them had died in Fu Sinian’s hands. He had also paid a huge price for kidnapping Shi Qian!
Only a few of his bodyguards following him now were his trusted aides, so his whereabouts had been exposed by someone.
“What should we do now? Can your people withstand it?” Shi Qian asked again. “The coconut grove! They went to the coconut grove!” A shout came from afar. “Oh no, they know we’re hiding here!” Shi Qian looked out nervously.
“We have to leave the island as soon as possible.” Arthur pulled Shi Qian forward.
“Arthur, I think you should give me a gun!” Shi Qian said as she ran.
“Do I give you a gun so you can shoot me?” Arthur asked.
“At the very least, I won’t do that until I’m out of danger!”
“You’re so honest.”
“Thanks for the compliment.”
Shi Qian wasn’t sure if Arthur would give it to her, but there was still a little hope of asking.
The next second, something appeared in her hand.
“Can you use it?”
Shi Qian couldn’t see it clearly, but she could guess which model it was based on the feel of it.
“Yes,” she answered with certainty.
Arthur pulled Shi Qian behind a rock and watched the commotion in the distance.
It seemed that his bodyguards had stalled those people again.
Those people had yet to catch up to the coconut grove.
However, they could not sit here and wait for death.
If those people caught up, he and Shi Qian would be outnumbered and could only be at the mercy of others!
Arthur suddenly took off his shirt and draped it over Shi Qian’s shoulders.
“I’m not cold!”
“Listen to me. Put your arms back and wrap yourself in the clothes!”
“What are you doing?”
“We have to climb up the cliff in front of us from this direction and go to the back. There are fishing boats of the people on the island. I’ve already informed the boats to pick us up. As long as we use the fishing boats on the island to leave this island, there are more than ten deserted islands dozens of miles away. Any one of them can be our hiding place until someone comes to pick us up.”
Arthur regretted letting the ship sail away.
At that time, he did it so that he would not be discovered.
After all, a ship that size parked near this island would definitely arouse suspicion.
“Okay!” Shi Qian nodded.
The two of them quickly ran forward.
Once they were out of the coconut grove and into the dense forest, Shi Qian understood why Arthur had given her a shirt.
She pulled the shirt up high and wrapped her head in it.
This was because this place was filled with plants with unknown names. The leaves were slender and sharp like a knife. As soon as they touched her skin, it burned.
With a piece of clothing to cover her, she felt much better.
“Ah!” Shi Qian suddenly cried out in pain.
Arthur immediately pulled her into his arms and used his body to cover her from the sharp leaves.
“We’ll be out of this jungle soon..”
