Chapter 762: What Is He Angry About_1

Upon hearing the gunshot, Baili Xia’s mind went blank.

But in an instant, she realized what was happening.

Someone here was trying to kill Uncle.

Baili Xia clung to the safety bar tightly, taking a sidelong glance at Mu Xiaojiu.

Mu Xiaojiu’s gaze remained firm.

He had weathered many storms and had experienced many assassination attempts.

The gunshots behind them rang out again, intermittently.

It seemed as though three people were firing.

Baili Xia glanced behind the car.

The backside of this sightseeing car was exposed.

Even though they had already ducked, the car still couldn’t shield their bodies.

Without thinking, she got up from the co-driver’s seat and pounced on Uncle’s back.

Their target was Uncle.

She couldn’t let anything happen to him!

This was the only thought in Baili Xia’s mind.

Was Baili Xia afraid to die?

Of course, she was.

But for some reason, all she could think of at this time was to protect Uncle.

When had Uncle become so important to her…

Seeing Baili Xia recklessly throwing herself on his back, Mu Xiaojiu was furious.

“Stupid woman, sit back down!” he shouted.

Baili Xia ignored him, continuing to remain steadfastly in her position.

They were originally lying on the car, less of a target.

But now, with Baili Xia on Mu Xiaojiu’s back, they became a larger target.

For an assassin, this would make it easier to attack.

Seeing that Baili Xia would not listen to him, Mu Xiaojiu had to take drastic measures.

He gritted his teeth, twisted the car wheel, and drove straight into the man-made lake on the side of the road.

With a splash, the two of them, along with the car, plunged into the artificial lake.

From behind, the sound of continuous gunshots rang out, creating a chaotic scene.

By the time Mu Xiaojiu emerged from the lake, holding Baili Xia, Ye Hua, and his security team were already running over.

Looking at the drenched Mu Xiaojiu, Ye Hua hurriedly asked, “Mr. Xiaojiu, are you alright?”

Mu Xiaojiu shook his head slowly, not answering.

His gaze was focused on Baili Xia in his arms.

Baili was curled up in his arms, trembling slightly.

Ye Hua wasn’t sure if it was due to the cold lake water or the scare she’d just gotten.

Seeing this, Ye Hua quickly asked, “How is Miss Xiaxia… ?”

Mu Xiaojiu collected his thoughts, took a deep breath, and seemed to be suppressing some emotion.

“She’s still alive, let’s go back.”

Upon saying this, he walked over to another sightseeing car, his steps steady.

Ye Hua wasn’t sure what was going on with Mr.

Xiaojiu.

He seemed…

a bit angry.

Could he be blaming them for not arriving promptly?

They had rushed to the scene as quickly as possible from the moment the first gunshot was heard.

They arrived just a few seconds later.

It must be because the archery field security was lax, providing opportunity to the assassins.

Lately, Sima Liuyue had taken over management of this site, and he hadn’t paid it much attention.

Regardless, Mr.

Xiaojiu was upset.

When Mr.

Xiaojiu gets angry, someone has to pay.

This time, would it be him again?

Walking over to the sightseeing car, Mu Xiaojiu moved Baili Xia to the passenger seat and then took the driver’s seat.

Ye Hua had already caught up and spoke respectfully.

“Mr. Xiaojiu, there were three assassins in total. Two were killed by us, and the other committed suicide by biting his poison tooth.”

Upon hearing this, Mu Xiaojiu furrowed his brow.

Poison tooth!

Where did these assassins come from?

Even so, he did not dwell on it.

He drove the sightseeing car towards the site’s main gate.

This time, Ye Hua and his team led and trailed them in their vehicles.

They wouldn’t dare to be the least bit careless again.
