Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

"Miss Xia Zi, what are you doing standing here? Aren't you going to look for her?"

Xia Zi didn't even look at him. She turned on the flashlight on her wrist and walked straight to the woods on the left. Her reason was simply that she wanted to stay away from this man.

Behind him, a male subordinate followed up and said, "Colonel Xia Zi, I will go with you. Your leg has not healed yet, so it is better to be careful."

Xia Zi said nothing, which was considered as his agreement.

At this moment, the flashlight in her hand hit something, her face changed, and she immediately turned off the light.

He said in a cold voice: "Go look for it on the right, I am enough here by myself."

The subordinate was stunned: "Yes."

Xia Zi stood there without moving. He turned on the light again after hearing the footsteps of his subordinates going away. On the muddy road, there was a stain of blood that had not yet dried.

She walked over, squatted down, took out a dagger and turned over the soil. She stopped only when there was no trace of blood.

We walked forward five hundred meters and stopped only when the light reached the edge of the cliff.

Qiaosha hid behind a two-meter-high rock, behind which was a bottomless cliff. She stuck her head out and looked at Xia Zi, who was obviously looking for someone with a flashlight not far away.

Not surprisingly, they came for her, but she didn't expect Xia Zi to be among them. It seemed that she didn't return to Nanzhou.

The injuries she had just sustained from jumping out of the car were still aching. The wounds on her knees and calves had been wrapped with bandages. Her face was covered in dirt, and she looked very disheveled.

Suddenly, the stone was illuminated and a slanted shadow was cast on the ground.

Xia Zi still noticed this.

Joysa reached into her backpack and grabbed the dagger.

The clattering sound of boots slowly approached, and Joysa swung out the dagger violently.

The opponent subconsciously stretched out his hand to block and easily pushed away Joysa's weak arm.

Both of Qiaosha's elbows were bleeding and it was painful to lift them, let alone use a dagger to hurt someone.

She groaned in pain and tried her best to hold the dagger to prevent it from flying out of her hand.

"Okay," Xia Zi looked in the direction of the helicopter, his eyes as cold as ever, "If I wanted to harm you I wouldn't have come here alone."

"You're going to let me go?"

"You let me go once, and I let you go once, we're even." Xia Zi turned off the lights and the two talked in the dark.

"When will your people withdraw?"

"I'll ask them to retreat when I get back. Be careful and don't show up in public. Almost half of Yezhu Island is looking for you."

"I really don't understand what kind of magic I have that makes such an important person pursue me so closely."

Xia Zi was about to say something, but suddenly her eyes became stern: "Someone is coming, hide well."

Joysa immediately stepped back behind the stone.

Xia Zi turned around and turned on the light. A tall man was walking towards her in the dark. It was the man in the black windbreaker from before - Ikehara.

Xia Zi looked at him coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Chi Yuan curled his lips and smiled, answering the question irrelevantly: "Xia Zi, who are you talking to?"

"Watch your wording. I am your superior, and your tone makes me uncomfortable."

Chi Yuan turned a deaf ear and continued walking forward, "Then let me see if there is anyone hiding behind that big rock?"

Xia Zi sighed, "Where are the others?"

"Of course I'm still here. After all, it's better for me to catch traitors myself."

"That's fine." Xia Zi curled her lips, lifted her coat, pulled out a dagger, and rushed straight towards Chi Yuan.

"Are you crazy?" Chi Yuan dodged sideways. "How dare you betray me? Is that woman behind the stone?"

"Cut the nonsense."

Qiao Yisha was stunned when she heard this behind the stone. This Xia Zi actually attacked his own people for her?

Ikehara and Natsuko soon started fighting. Natsuko's hands and legs were injured, so she quickly gained the upper hand.

Joysa vaguely heard the battle situation, took out the small silver pistol that Captain Ou had given her from her bag, and limped out.

"stop."

The lighting was thrown on the ground, reflecting on the faces of several people.

Ikehara and Natsuko turned to look at her at the same time.

The moment Chi Yuan saw Qiao Yisha's face clearly, fear flashed across his face.

Then he returned to normal, "If you dare to shoot, my people will come over immediately and shoot you into pieces."

"So what? You will definitely die before me." Qiao Yisha pointed the gun at him and looked at Xia Zi, "Xia Zi, go away."

Xia Zi shook her head and said, "I don't plan to leave. Besides, I have disliked this person for a long time."

"What do you want?" Ikehara gritted his teeth.

"Of course, I'll let you die." Xia Zi looked at him coldly, and then said to Qiao Yisha, "Don't use a gun, otherwise we will attract those people and we won't be able to escape."

After saying that, he grasped the dagger again and stabbed Ikehara.

Of course, Qiaosha would not sit idly by. Seeing this, she had to put away her gun, hold the dagger and prepare to go up and help.

Chi Yuan saw her rushing towards him from the corner of his eye, raised his leg, and kicked her away easily.

Qiaosha screamed in pain and rolled on the ground. The resentment and hatred that had been pent up in her heart for days reached its peak after this kick.

He got up again, put away his dagger, pulled out his butterfly knife, and joined the battle again.

Chi originally had good physical strength, and since both of the two people on his side were injured, he didn't even use his full strength to deal with the situation.

Xia Zi took advantage of Chi Yuan's inattention and winked at Qiao Yisha.

Qiao Yisha understood, and she wanted to throw Chi Yuan off the cliff.

Qiaoisha didn't know why Xia Zi hated Chi Yuan so much, but this was the only thing she could do at this moment. If they lost, both of them would die.

The two men accelerated their attack, forcing Ikehara to the edge of the cliff.

Ikehara took a quick glance and instantly understood their intention. He smiled slyly, and when the opportunity arose, he kicked Qiaosha away. Then he quickly grabbed Xia Zi's body, pushed her hard, and threw her to the bottom of the cliff.

In just a moment, Xia Zi's figure disappeared over the cliff in a parabola.

"Xia Zi--" Qiao Yisha shouted in horror. Without caring about anything else, she pulled out the gun from her waist and shot at Chi Yuan.

In the dark night, a deafening "bang" startled the crows in the deep forest.

"Quack quack—"

Chi Yuan was shot in the thigh. He gritted his teeth and groaned, dragging his feet towards Qiao Yisha.

"The traitor has been dealt with, and now it's your turn..."

"I'll take you back, and Xia Zi's position and title...will all be mine."

Joysa tried to reload her gun, but when she was halfway through, Chi Yuan rushed over, knocked the gun away, and held her tightly.

"Let me go--" Joysa struggled violently, using all her strength to break free from him. She knew that there was a high chance that she would not come out alive.

There were messy footsteps and the soldiers disguised as ordinary bodyguards rushed over after hearing the gunshots.

Qiao Yisha saw it from afar and knew that there was little chance of survival, but finally, she looked at Chi Yuan who was imprisoning her, her eyes became fierce, and she turned her finger and poked it hard into the bloody gunshot wound on his thigh.

"Ah--" Chi Yuan screamed miserably and reflexively let go of her. When he came to his senses again, he saw Qiao Yisha rushing towards him.

There is a cliff behind him. What does this crazy woman want to do?

"Go and be buried with Xia Zi." Qiao Yisha tried her best to hit his shaky body.

Ikehara was unsteady on his feet, leaning back, his pupils throbbing violently.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ikehara--" The soldiers came running towards them at high speed.

Chi Yuan knew that he was doomed to die, so he kept his last bit of sanity and reached out to grab Joysa who was nearby.

Joysa was suddenly pulled by a strong force, and then was dragged by Chi Yuan's backward movement, falling into the dark abyss with him.
