Chapter 1619: Chapter 1638 Playing Pretend Sleep
Huo Beijiang reacted swiftly, holding the diving Nan Fei, using his body to shield her as they rolled on the ground, completely dissipating the force while avoiding the attack range.
Simultaneously, two gunshots rang out.
One was Ding Jiaqi’s bullet piercing, flying into the wall.
The other was the sound of Ding Jiaqi being shot dead by a hidden sniper.
Clean and direct, a single shot to kill.
At this moment, Huo Beijiang looked at Nan Fei with disbelief, along with the appreciation and amazement of discovering a treasure. What just happened in that instant might not be noticeable to an ordinary person, but he saw it clearly.
Nan Fei’s reaction and judgment in that instant were top-notch. Even the best special forces soldier might not have done as well as she did.
Huo Beijiang’s feelings were momentarily complex; unbeknownst to him, the woman he cradled in his palms had transformed to amaze even him. Her psychological quality and adaptability were completely different from before.
Though Nan Fei’s eyes couldn’t see now, she had transformed to become stronger and more perfect.
Huo Beijiang instinctively tightened his hold around the person in his arms, even wanting to hold her like this forever and ever. He feared that one day, if he wasn’t good enough and upset Nan Fei, she might truly leave him forever.
The clattering of a series of footsteps brought Huo Beijiang’s thoughts back.
"I’m sorry!" The soldiers and snipers uniformly trained approached at this moment, hanging their heads in deep shame like children who had done wrong, totally lacking the face to return and see their parents.
Lu Jin was about to die of self-reproach, "Boss, sorry, we were careless."
Huo Beijiang carefully helped Nan Fei to stand up, glaring at Lu Jin and his group with gritted teeth, his anger boiling.
"Wife, where does it hurt?" He suppressed his temper, cautiously performed a simple check on Nan Fei, and finding no injuries, his face finally looked somewhat better.
"I’m fine!" Nan Fei exhaled secretly; actually, she had been quite afraid of Bei Jiang’s anger.
Always feeling pressured when he’s angry, even though she knew Bei Jiang wouldn’t harm her, she was still a bit afraid. The momentary situation reminded her of when she had just been reborn.
Fortunately, he wasn’t angry now.
"Good you’re okay, good you’re okay." Huo Beijiang exhaled, wanting to say Nan Fei was too risky and bold, but stopped as the words were about to leave his mouth. After the thrill just now, how could he still bear to blame her?
Feeling distressed was not enough.
"Boss, punish me!" Lu Jin was almost crying.
"Heh!" Huo Beijiang let out a cold laugh from his nose, his gaze carrying an indescribable meaning, sending chills down one’s back.
Lu Jin trembled even more.
"Don’t scare Lu Jin." Nan Fei, even from such a distance, could feel Lu Jin’s anxious emotions, so she bravely stood up to speak for Lu Jin.
Lu Jin quickly cast a grateful glance at Nan Fei, then bowed his head again with a guilty look.
"Follow the usual rules." Huo Beijiang uttered this sentence through clenched teeth, then suddenly picked up Nan Fei horizontally and turned to go downstairs.
Chen Jing collapsed on the ground, looking at Ding Jiaqi lying lifeless in a pool of blood, feeling not fear but a sense of relief after avenging her. For Ding Jiaqi, she was utterly disappointed.
