Chapter 341: Chapter 341

When others pointed a gun at her waist, she was not scared at all because she knew that Chu Munan would not let them shoot her; it was merely a threat to force Lu Jingchen to hand over Zuo Yuqing.

"Boss." Jack hadn’t expected everything to happen so suddenly, he immediately panicked and called out, hurriedly walking over to push Song Qiao aside to support Chu Munan, looking at the spot on the waist where the bullet had hit, where bright red blood was continuously spurting out, his eyes filled with piercing red.

Xi Mohan walked out from behind Lu Jingchen and his group, playing with the pistol he had just used to shoot Chu Munan, a faint smile curling up on his indifferent face as he casually said, "Haven’t fired a gun in many years, my marksmanship is off."

All of Chu Munan’s subordinates surged forward, their pistols aimed at Lu Jingchen and his group on the opposite side, a gunfight seeming imminent.

Song Qiao was suddenly pushed aside, nearly falling to the ground, but fortunately, a man rushed out in time to support her, otherwise, she certainly would have tumbled down the stairs.

However, after the man helped her up, he did not let go immediately but handed her over to Anna, who firmly grasped Song Qiao’s body to prevent her from moving again, and then placed the pistol directly against her head, looking indifferently at Lu Jingchen across from her, "It seems Mr. Lu is planning to abandon his wife for that woman Zuo Yuqing."

Anna’s Chinese was not very good, but it was not very bad either, clear enough to be understood, especially with the tone of mockery towards Lu Jingchen.

All sides were locked in a standoff, neither side giving in, with Lu Jingchen standing there holding an umbrella, Zuo Yuqing standing behind him, his face as dark as water, but his gaze only fell on Song Qiao, just staring fixedly, yet not uttering a single word.

Song Qiao didn’t speak either, letting Anna control her, the scene of Chu Munan getting injured kept replaying in her mind, making her realize clearly that when Chu Munan heard the gunfire, he had intentionally pushed her aside to avoid getting hit by the reckless bullet.

But what about him? He must have already seen Xi Mohan who was hiding behind Lu Jingchen, ready to shoot, right?

He could have safely avoided it, but chose not to let her get hurt.

"Release my wife." Lu Jingchen’s face was grim, his gaze icy as he spoke slowly and coldly to Anna.

Anna snorted, then looked at Lu Jingchen and burst out laughing uncontrollably, "Mr. Lu, are you ordering me? Sorry, I, Anna, only listen to our boss."

"Why waste so much talk, if you want to fight, then fight quickly. Standing here in this rain, my clothes are all soaked." Xi Mohan toyed with the pistol in his hand, yet pointed straight at Anna, "Let her go, if you want to fight, I’ll take you on. What’s the point of threatening a helpless woman?"

"I know she’s a helpless woman, and that indeed isn’t much," Anna continued to play word games with Xi Mohan, her gaze indifferent, a seductive smile appearing on her face as she stated, "But I also know, she is Mr. Lu’s wife."

Xi Mohan’s expression slightly darkened, gripping the gun tightly in his hand, wanting to shoot but unable to do so. Song Qiao was significant to Lu Jingchen, after all, she was Lu Jingchen’s wife.

Most importantly, Song Qiao was also Ning Wan’s close friend.

It was even more imperative not to let Song Qiao come to any harm.

Chu Munan stood up directly with the help of his subordinates, and despite the potentially fatal shot, his face only turned a bit pale, but there were no other changes as he coldly said to Zuo Yuqing opposite him, "Little thing, you should know the consequences of betraying me."

Having said that, the hand holding the pistol swiftly lifted and aimed directly at Zuo Yuqing, unhesitatingly pulling the trigger.

"Jingchen..." A cry of alarm followed by a man’s grunt, Zuo Yuqing screamed out loud.

Song Qiao, held hostage by Anna, was somewhat stunned watching everything unfolding in front of her, she held her breath, looking at the man who had just stood in front of Zuo Yuqing and taken the bullet in his chest. Googlᴇ search NovelHub(.)net

He was injured, yet it was to protect another woman.

A vague, unsettling feeling surfaced in her heart, her mind unable to process quickly, almost instinctively speaking to Anna behind her, "You guys leave here, I’ll be your hostage, you leave..."

Her voice was faint, very soft, but still audible to Anna, who took a deep breath, she continued, "Xi Mohan likes my close friend, he will also consider that I’m his beloved woman’s close friend, he won’t really kill you. Holding me as a hostage, leave here, your gunshot wound from the morning was just treated not long ago, and now you’ve been shot again, if you don’t get treated soon, you’re definitely going to bleed out and die..."

Anna subconsciously looked towards her boss, Chu Munan’s eyes showing a strange expression, yet still he lightly instructed Anna, "Go..."

Anna nodded, glared hatefully at Zuo Yuqing who was struggling to support Lu Jingchen, the hatred in her eyes very apparent, as if she wished she could shoot Zuo Yuqing directly, but now she didn’t have much time to consider, following Song Qiao’s words, holding her hostage and slowly moving towards their car parked on the other side.
