Though not much, the jet of water mist managed to buy Gu MingYue a few well-needed seconds. She knew very well that though she was extremely skilled, there was almost no chance of winning this fight solo, hence, these few precious seconds were her only chance.

Without further adieu, the woman dressed from head to toe in a formal suit and skirt knocked down a few men around her and managed to force open a gap in the encirclement. And with parkour skills worthy of praise, she jumped towards the wall on the side and without slowing down, kicked off the wall before performing a 180-degree spin with her flexible body as she pulled the trigger on the pistol multiple times.

A few gunshots could be heard, followed quickly by thumping sounds as a few men collapsed on the ground.

Her movements were swift and sleek, and as she landed on the ground, bullet casings scattered around at her feet in a mess. Not wanting to be caught in a situation again, she quickly dashed off with all her might, changing her paths from time to time to avoid the flying bullets behind her. And amidst the gunpowder smoke, she jumped through the window at the end of the corridor with her body curled up in a ball while protecting her head with both hands, shattering the window instantly. After that, she did another spin in midair before landing on the ground elegantly and beautifully amidst the shattered glass shards that fell from the sky.

However, the cost of having such a CGI-like background effect was the various cuts and wounds on her exposed hands and legs…

It was really too difficult for one person to fight against dozens of well-trained bodyguards. But right now, all she could do is to avoid the constant rain of bullets fired from the shattered window and run for her life.

She did not remember how she managed to dodge the dense gunshots until she sat safely in the driver’s seat in the car that they had arrived in. She quickly started the engine and drove the extended and widened black limousine at a destructive speed, drifting whenever necessary as she could not afford to lose speed with brakes. When she finally came back to her senses, she had already broken out of the siege and driven far away from the Xiao Family Mansion.

At the juncture of life and death, a person’s explosive power is simply invincible. To think that she would ever have the demeanour of a protagonist in a kung fu movie! Gu MingYue chuckled softly and teased herself while sweat rolled down her pale face as she endured the pain all over her body from the aftermath.

She was temporarily safe for now, but what she needed to decide this instant was whether she should find a hidden place to recuperate her injuries or find a way to return to Xiao JingLin’s residence after nightfall.

Gu MingYue was unsure if there would be an ambush at Xiao JingLin’s villa, but no matter what, her instincts told her that the second option was too risky, hence, she decided quickly that she would find a place to rest first.

When the men in black who followed her found the limousine near the garbage incineration site, Gu MingYue was already nowhere in sight!

This outcome caused Xiao TianHong to burst out in rage as he was furious about why his subordinates weren’t able to deal with a single Gu MingYue. They were all trash! Rubbish!

Meanwhile, upon hearing the news of Gu MingYue’s escape, Xiao JingLin could not help but sigh in relief wearily as his tensed demeanour relaxed slightly. He rubbed his fingers over his temples to relieve the old and frequent headache.

He remembered the scenes of Gu MingYue massaging his temple on the first day at work after she had recovered from her serious injury. In fact, that was actually the first time the man had paid heed to the cold and silent woman that had always been following him like a shadow. That was also the first time it had occurred to him that she was a person with her own thoughts and feelings, and not just a cold and emotionless working machine.

Xiao JingLin could not understand why Gu MingYue would ever reveal his itinerary to the AnYuan Group. If she wanted him dead, she had way too many chances to do so, and there was no point taking such unnecessary steps at all. Another reason was that, if AnYuan Group’s assassination attempt was successful, as his personal bodyguard, Gu MingYue would never have been able to escape execution according to the organization’s regulations.

It made no sense at all.

So why on earth did she commit such an unimaginable act of betrayal? Xiao JingLin knew that only the woman herself would be able to answer his questions and confusion.

Sitting on the enormous king-sized bed in his room, he dialled Xiao TianHong’s phone number. “Dad.” Without Gu MingYue’s presence, the huge room felt extraordinarily cold and looming. The sheets were still stained with the woman’s breath, but without the warmth that he craved, it was fairly difficult for him to adapt to the sudden loneliness he felt.

“Please allow me to decide what to deal with Nan if I am able to find her.” He requested firmly.

*Drumrolls* This is the last chapter for this arc!! ??
