Chapter 190: 190: A Moment of Shock
If they had been one step later, they would be among the wreckage…
“Splash ”
Two entangled figures plunged into the river together.
“Gulp… gulp…”
Qin Youxuan, who couldn’t swim, had struggled and gulped down some water before being pulled up by Dan Hanjie.
Holding onto her, he swam to the riverbank.
“Cough, cough ”
As soon as she reached the shore, Qin Youxuan began to cough violently.
Much of her coughing was caused by water, but more by fear.
Even before she could speak, Dan Hanjie covered her mouth, “Stay quiet!”
Dan Hanjie picked up her stiff body and swiftly found cover beside a stack of rocks on the riverbank.
Qin Youxuan was startled at the sound of footsteps approaching. A terrifying thought flashed in her mind: Assassins…
She turned to look at Dan Hanjie, but it was too dark to see his face clearly, all she could see was the murderous intent in his eyes.
As Qin Youxuan lowered her gaze, she noticed the gun he held in his hand and shuddered involuntarily.
“Dan Hanjie…hmm!”
“Who’s there?”
“There’s someone over there, go check it out!” The men’s voices rang out from not too far away, and the footsteps hastily moved towards their direction.
“Stay hidden here, don’t move, got it?” Dan Hanjie whispered into Qin Youxuan’s ear, his eyes shone like a predatory bird’s in the darkness.
“…” Qin Youxuan obediently nodded, her face tense.
Only then did Dan Hanjie, with his gun in hand, disappear into the night.
“Bang, bang, bang ”
The successive gunfire made Qin Youxuan cover her ears in panic.
Her lithe figure huddled against the rocks.
She didn’t know who fired the shots. After a flurry of chaotic footsteps, silence fell upon them.
She waited a long time without any sign of Dan Hanjie.
Her legs were numb and her drenched body shook uncontrollably.
What troubled her most was the overwhelming worry flooding her heart.
Supporting herself on a rock, Qin Youxuan tried to get up to take a look but froze at the sight of a strange figure in the darkness.
“Get down!”
“Bang ”
“Bang ”
Qin Youxuan was thrown to the ground by Dan Hanjie, her body bumped against the rocks, causing a dull ache.
But quickly, she got back up.
She cautiously looked in the direction she had seen the man, only to find him collapsed on the ground, a bullet hole straight between his eyes, his eyes wide open.
“Hmm…”
Qin Youxuan covered her mouth to stifle a scream and stepped back.
Her heels hit a warm body and she shivered in shock.
Turning around in astonishment, she saw Dan Hanjie lying on the ground…
“Dan Hanjie… no… it can’t be…”
Qin Youxuan knelt down, her small hands frantically searching his body, “Dan Hanjie, wake up… please don’t scare me…”
Feeling wetness in her palm, she jerked her hand back.
Seeing the fresh blood on her hand, she was at a loss.
A moment later, she timidly lifted his black coat, revealing the bleeding gunshot wound on his lower abdomen…
“Call the police… right, call an ambulance…”
Fumbling around for her phone, Qin Youxuan realized it was nowhere to be found.
Tears began to stream down her face uncontrollably.
“I’m… okay…” Dan Hanjie barely managed to utter, gripping her hand tightly.
“Dan Hanjie, you’re not dead! Thank goodness, you’re not dead…” Qin Youxuan choked on her words, tears welling up in her eyes.
