Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Purpose Achieved_1
A gunshot shattered the tranquility of the midnight hour.
Both of them fell to the ground. "Ye Lu’s heart had stopped. A gunshot had been fired. Was she dead? She had completely lost sensation in her body. Her mind was blank and confused. Numb, she lay motionless on the ground.
Third Young Master Jun’s heart trembled. Fear surged in his heart for the first time. In the next second, he swiftly turned over and picked her up, disregarding the vulnerability of his back, closely examining her entire body.
No signs of blood gushing out. He was ecstatic. She hadn’t been hit. It was fantastic.
The sharp sound of bullets slicing through the air came from behind. He made a decisive move, quickly taking cover behind a nearby stone pillar with her in his arms, pushing her to his back.
Someone dared to ambush him.
The face of Third Young Master Jun was cold as ice, a raging fire burning in his eyes. But he remained utterly calm. His hand clutching a gun, he aimed at the place where the gunshot had come from, pulling the trigger mercilessly.
The sound of a bullet entering flesh was followed by a horrifying scream, and then there was complete silence in the night.
Ye Lu was terrified, her heart trembling, her breathing almost stopping as she heard the scream. Someone had died!
She clamped her hand over her mouth, daring not make a sound. She knew their situation was extremely dangerous, any carelessness would draw the attention of their enemies and lead to her death.
Third Young Master Jun’s eyes were cold and piercing, alert to all movements and sounds, calmly observing.
After a while, there were no signs of movement. With his usual battle acumen, he felt something was off, but the chance to break out could not be missed.
After firing several warning shots in various directions.
Third Young Master Jun swept Ye Lu into his arms, dodging a few shots, and darted back into the car.
Bullets rained down, hitting the bulletproof glass and steel plates of the car. The piercing sound drained the color from Ye Lu’s face.
Third Young Master Jun quickly started the car and disappeared into the dust.
Once he had left, the gunfire stopped.
Several large and sturdy men emerged from the darkness, one of them a blond-haired man: Duke Hai Lanse, who tossed back his curly blond hair.
He looked coldly at the body of his fallen henchman, his blue eyes devoid of any trace of emotion or pity.
"Should we pursue, Your Grace?"
"No need," Duke Hai Lanse gestured dismissively. "This isn’t our turf, pursuing them would be risky. Besides, my original target was not to kill him. Our objective has been achieved!"
He cast a cold glance at the corpse.
"Take him back. Immediately contact the best ballistics expert in Europe to examine the body. I need to confirm if the bullet in his body is the same as the one in my sister."
His face was cold and grim. His purpose had been to make Third Young Master Jun fire his gun, leaving a bullet marking.
For people of their status, their personal handguns were custom-made to suit their usage, differentiating them from regular mass-produced handguns; thus, they varied in many aspects.
If he could confirm whether the bullet came from Third Young Master Jun’s gun, then he would know whether this man brutally murdered his sister.
He would absolutely not spare the person who killed his sister.
However, that woman who had rushed out just now, why did she look familiar?
He couldn’t quite recall.
He picked up his phone and called Gu Yan, "Thanks for providing the leads."
"No need to thank me," came the indifferent voice of Gu Yan. "It was merely an exchange of interests. I didn’t give you that information for free."
Hai Lanse raised an eyebrow, "Aren’t you going to ask what I did to him?"
If one could understand their rival so thoroughly, even ruthlessly leaking information, it was likely that these two were enemies!
