Chapter 1617: Chapter 1636: Sniper
Huo Beijiang was nearly scared out of his wits and immediately abandoned the idea of capturing any live targets. He made an attack gesture with his left hand in the air. The snipers lying in ambush nearby immediately opened fire, bang bang bang... Three shots, and Amanda and her two companions were shot dead before they could react.
The three stared with wide eyes, utterly shocked, and at the moment of falling, they saw Jiang Nanfei who had just jumped over from the opposite side, and Huo Beijiang who had come from the other side. They wanted to say something before dying, but nothing came out.
They died with unwillingness in their hearts.
"Ahhhh..." Ding Jiaqi screamed in terror, covering her head, trying to hide just as she saw Nan Fei walking in. Her original fear was immediately overwhelmed by jealousy, causing her to madly rush over, attempting to push Nan Fei off the rooftop.
In her heart, she had even started fantasizing that after Nan Fei’s death, Huo Beijiang would be hers, and no one would compete with her anymore. She would still be the kind, beautiful, and brave Ding Jiaqi.
She thought, just a blind woman who came to seek death herself, wouldn’t it be a pity if she missed this opportunity?
Ding Jiaqi’s mouth curled into a twisted smile, but just as her hands were about to reach Nan Fei, Nan Fei’s body suddenly flipped in mid-air. Not only did she dodge Ding Jiaqi’s hands, but during the flip, she fiercely counterattacked, kicking Ding Jiaqi to the ground.
"Nan Fei!" Huo Beijiang threw away the half-lit cigarette in his hand and rushed over to tightly embrace Nan Fei, his pounding heart showing his anxiety and worry.
"I’m fine, don’t worry." Nan Fei felt pain from Huo Beijiang’s strong embrace and gently pushed him away, explaining, "Did you forget, I was personally trained by you? I’m not that fragile."
She even felt that since losing her sight, she had become even more formidable than before.
The sensation of controlling every tiny detail, every aspect of the world, was something she never experienced before. Previously, she could only say she had decent skills, and her shooting wasn’t that bad, but it ended there.
But now, she felt that whenever she held a gun, she could hit any target she aimed at.
"Jiang Nanfei." Huo Beijiang was truly furious, yelling out her full name: "Are you trying to drive me crazy? Who told you to come out? Huh?"
Huo Beijiang’s fury was remarkably intimidating; all the soldiers and Lu Jin nearby lowered their heads, trying to make themselves as invisible as possible. They wished they could find a hole to hide in, just so they wouldn’t catch the attention of the second-in-command.
Nan Fei was stunned by the scolding, unable to respond for a long time.
But that wasn’t enough to calm Huo Beijiang down. Heaven knows how worried he was just now. His little wife was far too daring; he had to make her understand the gravity of the situation this time.
"Jiang Nanfei, you are simply too outrageous, too unacceptable." Huo Beijiang harshly criticized: "If you want to drive me crazy, just say so, don’t risk your life like that."
"I... I already said I could do it." Nan Fei explained dryly and helplessly, "And I had a gun with me! I... I could protect myself."
"Protect what? If you could really protect yourself, you wouldn’t end up like this." Huo Beijiang regretted the words as soon as they came out.
He shouldn’t have been so harsh to his wife, and he definitely shouldn’t have hit where it hurt. He wanted to quickly apologize, to coax her into not taking it seriously, as if he were speaking nonsense. But he had just resolved to make her remember the consequences, so she wouldn’t be so rash in the future.
