Chapter 1727: Game

Mu Xiaojiu’s fingers were tense, and the coldness in his eyes spread even more madly.

Lu Xuening was frightened by the sudden surge of icy aura from him, causing her fingertips to tremble slightly.

This man is truly terrifying; if it weren’t absolutely necessary, she would never want to confront him in her lifetime.

But now, no matter how scared she was, she couldn’t back down.

“I’m giving you a chance to choose: do you want your life or Baili Xia’s life?”

She forced herself to calm down, her thin lips curving slightly, revealing an evil smile.

“You have three seconds to choose. Once I count to three, I’ll shoot her. Whether you save her or not is up to you.”

Today, she had no plans to let Mu Xiaojiu go.

As long as Mr.

Xiaojiu was alive, she could never have peace.

But now, such an opportunity—if she didn’t play with it, it would be betraying all the grievances she had suffered in the past.

Mu Xiaojiu was so angry that his fingers cracked audibly, but he couldn’t afford to hesitate; Lu Xuening’s voice had already begun.

“One…”

“Two…”

“Three…”

With a bang, the gunshot rang out.

Lu Xuening hesitated slightly, looking at the two people on the ground.

Only to see Mu Xiaojiu shielding Baili Xia, with blood gushing from his shoulder, quickly soaking his clothes.

She thought this shot would surely hit Baili Xia, just to see Mr.

Xiaojiu go crazy.

Unexpectedly, Mu Xiaojiu rushed over in such a short time and took the bullet for Baili Xia!

Mu Xiaojiu, too dangerous!

Lu Xuening hesitated no more and immediately aimed again, shooting at Mu Xiaojiu.

Bang!

Another gunshot rang out.

But this time, it was Lu Xuening who fell to the ground.

A black hole was on her forehead, and her eyes hadn’t had time to close before she fell to the ground.

Finally, due to one unnecessary decision, she lost her life.

If she had taken the money and left, Mu Xiaojiu wouldn’t have risked stopping her.

But her mistake was shooting at Baili Xia, how could Mu Xiaojiu give her another chance?

Watching Lu Xuening fall, he then discarded the gun in his hand.

The intense pain attacked, and Mu Xiaojiu’s arm holding the gun could no longer support and dropped.

Fortunately, when he ran over, he rolled on the ground and picked up the pistol he had discarded earlier.

After taking the bullet for Baili Xia, he quickly chambered, aimed, and shot, directly killing Lu Xuening.

Mu Xiaojiu knelt on one knee, lowered his head to look at Baili Xia, and with his uninjured arm, he picked Baili Xia up.

“Girl, wake up!”

But Baili Xia was still unconscious, showing no sign of waking.

Not hesitating further, Mu Xiaojiu used his left hand to hold Baili Xia in his arms.

He stood up and strode towards the direction of the car.

His right shoulder was shot, and now his right hand could hardly exert force.

If there were ambushers around, he feared he couldn’t ensure her safety.

After walking a few steps, a figure quickly rushed over from afar.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, are you okay?”

Ye Hua swiftly came to Mu Xiaojiu’s side to help hold Baili Xia.

After arriving at the dock, afraid of being discovered, he parked the car outside and walked in himself.

Mu Xiaoyao went in from another direction to deal with Lu Xuening’s people.

Hearing the gunshots, Ye Hua was terrified and rushed inside.

Thankfully, he saw that Mr.

Xiaojiu and Miss Xiaxia were still alive.

“I’m fine, deal with that woman.”

Cold sweat appeared on Mu Xiaojiu’s forehead; he didn’t want to linger here for a minute more, making Baili Xia even more at risk.

He continued to hold Baili Xia with one arm and strode towards the direction of the car.
