Chapter 1397: The Approaching Danger
For those facilities requiring an adult supervisor, Huangpu Yexuan went together with Ying Bao while the other two waited outside.
They all had fun, but failed to realize that someone dressed in a squirrel costume had been following them.
Then they went to the theme castle, the Queen of Hearts’ garden, as well as the maze.
Ying Bao kept running joyfully in the garden of the maze and Huangpu Xuanye followed her tightly.
While they were waiting for Ying Bao, Helian Qingyu sent someone to buy ice cream.
When Ying Bao was back she was presented with tasty ice cream.
“Wow, third daddy, how did you know I wanted this?”
Ying Bao took the ice cream and could not wait to taste it.
“Because I saw the little greedy girl inside you!”
Helian Qingyu tickled her on her belly and Ying Bao doubled over.
Jing Xi wanted some ice cream too. She asked, “Can a pregnant woman have some ice cream?”
Helian Qingyu laughed at her. “I’m afraid no.”
Jing Xi slightly curled her lips. “It won’t do any harm if I just have a little bit, right? I think my babies want to try some.”
“Haha..” Helian Qingyu was amused. He handed her a smaller one and said, “Fine, treat my nephews.”
“Haha.” Jing Xi was satisfied and indulged herself in eating the ice cream.
They enjoyed the ice creams along the way. But no one knew that a gun was already being pointed at them.
There was a bang. Jing Xi seemed to see a figure flash in front of her and she was cuddled by a huge fluffy thing.
“Er…”
She sensed that a gun was fired at her but had hit the fluffy thing instead. She seemed to have heard the person groan inside the costume.
Hearing the gunfire, Helian Qingyu lifted up Ying Bao and sought shelter. Meanwhile he shouted at Jing Xi and Huangpu Xuanye, “There’s an attack! Go, hide!”
Jing Xi was taken behind the nearby rockery by the person in costume. But Huangpu Xuanye was not as lucky. Blocked by the scattering crowd he failed to escape in time. He got shot and fell on the ground.
“Xuanye!”
Seeing him wounded, Jing Xi tried to go to him but got blocked by the squirrel costumed person.
Instead, the squirrel darted out despite the danger and dragged Huangpu Xuanye behind the rockery.
Helian Qingyu had already sent signals and his men rushed to go after the assassin.
The joyful amusement part was instantly turned into a crime scene. The assassin was encircled and tried desperately to hold some hostages. Luckily, Helian Qingyu’s men shot him dead in time.
“Your Highness, the assassin was shot dead. Are you OK?”
Helian Qingyu’s men came to check on him.
“I’m fine. Go check on Xuanye. He seemed to have been shot. Call the ambulance!”
Helian Qingyu brought Ying Bao to Jing Xi where she was attending to Huangpu Xuanye’s wound.
“Are you alright, Jing Xi?”
“I’m fine. Xuanye was shot.”
Jing Xi tried to stop the bleeding and her hands were covered with blood.
“Mommy, why is Uncle Prince bleeding? Will he die?”
Seeing Huangpu Xuanye bleeding, Ying Bao burst into tears.
“No worries, sweetheart. Let’s take Uncle Prince to the hospital for treatment. He will definitely be fine. Don’t cry, my baby.” Jing Xi tried to comfort her.
