Chapter 834: Gunfight
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the shadows, a gun barrel was directed straight at Bai Qinghao. The trigger was pulled the next second.
Bai Qinghao noticed something amiss and immediately tugged Fang Xinxin to dart into a nearby home.
The bullet flew past his shoulder and dug into the wall behind.
Bai Qinghao and Fang Xinxin kept their backs bent as they quietly snuck upstairs. They exchanged confused gaze and both appeared very concerned.
Bai Qinghao had previously mentioned that the people who had tried to assassinate him were from the Dark Moon Organisation. Could it be that they were this well-informed and had sent more people after them?
Logically speaking, the two of them had gone off the grid and were yet to successfully contact anyone.
There weren’t any signals on the island they had stayed on previously, either.
Besides, the villagers on that island were clueless as to where they were headed to.
It was impossible for the Dark Moon Organisation to come pursuing them this quickly. What was going on?
“It’s not safe here.” Bai Qinghao mouthed these words to Fang Xinxin and brought her to the balcony on the second floor. They climbed down to the first floor and entered another home from the back.
He carefully checked the place and confirmed that there was no one else in here. Then, he instructed Fang Xinxin to hide behind the door while he hid behind a wall. He carefully began to analyze the direction of the bullet that was fired earlier.
It seemed like the opponent was hiding behind the hill across them.
He carefully darted out from the home and disappeared across the street.
A moment later, he silently made his way up the hill.
He approached the place without making any noise. As expected, he found a foreign man hiding behind a bush. He wore a backpack on his back and had a gun directed straight at the house in front of him.
It seemed like he believed that the two of them were still in there and was waiting to fire the next shot.
Bai Qinghao picked up a large rock and aimed it straight at his head. With that, he delivered a fatal blow to the person.
He snatched the gun from the man’s hand and took the backpack away from him. He opened it up quickly.
There were several pieces of bread, a pile of rope, a phone, several pieces of chocolate and two bottles of water in the pack.
A set of binoculars was also hung on his neck.
He put the backpack on and flipped the man’s body over.
It seemed like this was a middle-aged, foreign man. His features seemed to be European.
He took the binoculars from the body.
He glanced at the man’s body. The person did not appear to be a well-trained assassin.
After ensuring that there wasn’t anyone else on the mountain, he quietly returned to Fang Xinxin’s side.
Fang Xinxin was waiting behind the door obediently. She appeared to be very worried.
When she saw Bai Qinghao, she immediately rushed into his arms. “Hubby, where did you go?”
“I got rid of the person who attacked us earlier.” He held up the gun in his hand and pointed to the backpack. “There’s a phone in the backpack. There’s also a rope, three pieces of bread, a few pieces of chocolate and two bottles of water. I also snatched his binoculars. I checked the island from the hill earlier, it’s basically an abandoned island. It doesn’t seem like there are any inhabitants, but every so often, there are a few figures running between and hiding in the homes. Their movements are strange.”
Fang Xinxin’s eyes lit up. “Does the phone have any signal?”
“I checked on my way from the hill till here. There isn’t any signal.”
Her gaze darkened. “It seems like we’ll have to look for somewhere with a signal then.”
“We survived such a difficult journey on sea. We’ll definitely make it through this.” Bai Qinghao patted her gently.
“En.” She nodded and suggested. “It’s best if we leave this island soon.. Will it be safe if we leave with the same boat we arrived on?”
