Qiao Ruyi stared at him with moist eyes, "What about you?"

Before she could finish the sentence "You want to protect me so self-righteously again", the man's deep eyes met her misty eyes and he smiled gently, "You go first, then I can run away."

Meeting the man's determined gaze, Qiao Ruyi nodded, "Okay."

"Don't be afraid," the man comforted her, "and don't look back."

......

At this moment, the black man named Pete heard an instruction through his earphones.

"Keep an eye on that woman. As long as you point the gun at her, that man will drop his gun."

Pete covered his bleeding arm and stared fiercely at the shattered bar, "Yes!"

......

Change the magazine, load the bullets, and load the pistol.

The man's movements were quick and decisive, and he was extremely skilled.

Qiao Ruyi's waist was lifted up by him, and his deep and magnetic voice sounded in her ears.

"Are you ready?"

Qiao Ruyi was so nervous that her delicate face turned pale. She swallowed her saliva and looked into the man's gentle eyes. She nodded firmly, "Yes."

There were so many people on the other side and so many guns pointed at them.

But Qiao Ruyi felt that she felt safe with Ling Che around.

The man looked at her, feeling both distressed and cute as she was trying to look so nervous yet trying to remain calm.

The hand on her waist suddenly fell to her neck. The man grabbed her neck and pulled it down, then covered her with his lips.

Qiao Ruyi was a little surprised, but did not hide.

Feeling his slightly cool lips and the crisp mint scent, her nervous and pounding heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

Ling Che simply kissed her lips lightly, licked her lips with the tip of his tongue, and then pulled away with satisfaction.

His big hands fell on her waist again, and he looked into her sparkling eyes and kissed her with his thin lips.

"one."

Qiao Ruyi swallowed, turned her head and stared at the entrance of the corridor.

"two."

Ling Che felt the hand she was holding onto the corner of his clothes getting tighter and tighter, until her white fingertips were turning red.

"three!"

As soon as the man finished speaking, someone pushed Qiao Ruyi hard on the waist. She immediately gathered all her strength and strode towards the corridor on the other side!

At the same time, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a straight-legged man with his gun-holding hand standing up from the bar.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

A few more shots fired!

As the gunshot rang out, a figure suddenly jumped out from the bar and ran towards the corridor!

The dark-skinned man named Pete reacted instantly, staring at the woman's figure with fierce eyes, and the instructions he had just received rang in his ears.

Just as he was exchanging gunshots with the man at the bar, he quietly moved the muzzle of his gun towards the woman!

Ling Che's eyes narrowed, and he instantly pointed the gun at Peter's hand holding the gun.

at this time!

Just one step away!

When Qiao Ruyi was about to touch the door of the corridor, she saw out of the corner of her eye that another man hiding in the corner was pointing a gun straight at Ling Che!

Her breath was choked and her steps slowed down!

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

Three more gunshots were heard from different directions!

"what!"

Following the man's scream, a tall figure suddenly pounced towards Qiao Ruyi.

The moment she was held tightly in someone's arms, Qiao Ruyi clearly heard the sound of a bullet piercing through her ears, as well as a muffled groan from a man beside her.

At this moment, the corridor door was slammed shut and locked neatly.

The man rushed over with such force that he knocked Qiao Ruyi straight against the wall.

However, the man's hands held her head tightly, so when her head hit the wall, she didn't feel the pain she had imagined.

Qiao Ruyi opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at the man who was hugging her tightly in disbelief.

Feeling the man's heavy and powerful heartbeat, it almost broke her heart.

"Ling, Ling Che?"

When she spoke, her voice trembled and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

She saw that the bullet was coming towards her, and then...

"Ling Che?" Qiao Ruyi's voice was a little anxious. Suddenly she thought of something and touched Ling Che's back tremblingly.

"Where are you hurt?"

Her voice was trembling and she was about to cry, "Are you hurt?"

"do not move."

A man's low and forbearing voice came to my ears.

Qiao Ruyi really stopped moving and raised her hands to check if there was any blood on them.

The hands that were restraining her slowly loosened, Ling Che took a half step back and took a look at the person in front of him.

No place was left out from top to bottom.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

"boom!"

Another loud bang exploded at the door of the corridor.

A groove was instantly punched in the metal door.

Before Qiao Ruyi could react, the man grabbed her hand and ran downstairs quickly.

In the dim corridor, Qiao Ruyi couldn't see the road ahead clearly. The man held her hand and followed his footsteps as she ran up and down the stairs.

It was not until she ran to the underground parking lot that Qiao Ruyi heard the sound of sirens on the road.

The man walked quickly and silently ahead.

Qiao Ruyi was led by him and followed his pace quickly, her eyes fixed on his back.

At first the corridor was too dark for her to see clearly, but now with the light from the underground parking lot she carefully examined the man's back.

There appeared to be no signs of injury, nor any traces of blood.

But she clearly heard the sound of the bullet hitting her, and Ling Che's painful groan.

Until he pulled her to a stop beside a black sports car, Ling Che placed the car keys in Qiao Ruyi's hand, curved his lips, and asked her, "Can you drive?"

When he spoke, his breath was trembling.

Qiao Ruyi saw the blood color on his lips fade, and his cold white skin became even paler.

He must have been shot somewhere.

Qiao Ruyi checked him with a panicked gaze, "Where are you injured? Shall we go to the hospital?"

She was wearing that light home dress, and the temperature in the underground parking lot was so low that her hands were cold.

Ling Che took off his coat and wrapped it around her, ruffling her hair gently. "Drive."

......

The silver-gray sports car rushed out of the garage and sped along the dark road.

Qiao Ruyi held the steering wheel with both hands, checking the road conditions ahead while looking at the man in the passenger seat worriedly.

Ling Che's face was pale, with large beads of sweat dripping down from his forehead.

He leaned back in his seat with his eyes closed, and said with his thin lips, "Drive to the Clifton Suspension Bridge, to the Hilton Hotel."

Qiao Ruyi quickly searched for the hotel he mentioned, and with red eyes, she asked him, "Ling Che, can we go to the hospital?"

Ling Che didn't say anything, leaning back in his chair, sweat pouring down his face.

When I closed my eyes, all I could think of was Qiao Ruyi’s shocked look.

Just as he blocked the gun for her, he saw shock in Qiao Ruyi's eyes.

This shock did not come from the doubt that she stood in front of him to block the gun, but from the disbelief that came from the bottom of her heart.

She couldn't believe that he would even give up his life for her.

To him, this disbelief was a denial of Qiao Ruyi's feelings for him.

She denied her place in his heart, and she even still felt that she was not enough to make him take such a dangerous action.

Ling Che didn't mind that she needed time to forgive him.

What he cared about was that Qiao Ruyi still didn't understand that he really loved her.
