After confirming that Jian Jian was unharmed, Chu Liyuan shifted his gaze to the man lying on the ground.
The man was terrified by the intense killing intent in Chu Liyuanâs eyes; he had never felt the God of Death so close.
Chu Liyuan stepped on the manâs instep, and the man let out a tearing scream, âAhâspare me! Please, spare me! Iâll tell you everything I know, just let me go, ahââ
But Chu Liyuan did not ease his foot despite the manâs pleas; instead, he pressed down harder.
Just as the man was screaming his lungs out, the police arrived, âMr. Chu, hand him over to us!â
Chu Liyuan did not lift his foot from the manâs instep despite the policeâs words, still staring at him with those cold, bone-chilling eyes.
âUncle~â Jian Dan gently took Chu Liyuanâs hand.
Only then did Chu Liyuan slowly release his foot.
By now, the manâs foot was a bloody, fleshly mess, somewhat deformed.
The police said nothing and immediately handcuffed the man, ready to take him away. But what nobody expected wasâ¦
As the police were pulling the man up from the ground, a bloody hole suddenly appeared in the center of his forehead.
The man didnât get the chance to utter another word; he fell straight back, his eyes wide open, showing how much he did not want to die!
The moment the man was pierced by the bullet, Chu Liyuan instinctively shielded Jian Jian behind him, and two police officers drew their guns, on alert.
But nothing else happened after that; if not for the corpse on the ground, it would have been hard to confirm what had just occurred.
After confirming there was no further danger, the two policemen checked the manâs carotid artery and confirmed his death.
âJian Jian, are you all right?â Chu Liyuan turned around and checked on Jian Dan with concern.
Jian Dan, with tears welling up, looked at Chu Liyuanâ¦
âJian Jian, whatâs wrong, why are you crying? Were you scared?â Chu Liyuan saw Jian Danâs tears, and his own heart began to panic.
âUncle, why did you stand in front of me just now?â
âOf course, to protect you!â
âBut I donât need that kind of protection!â Jian Dan couldnât bear the thought of anything happening to Uncle. âUncle, youâve said I mustnât come to harm, and now Iâm telling you, I wonât allow anything to happen to Uncle either! If Uncle dares to leave me behind, Iâll remarry immediately and erase Uncle completely from my heart and memory!â Jian Dan said, as tears streamed down her face.
âJian Jian, youâve really seized my weak spot. I promise you, I will never leave you behind, so you will never get to remarry, and you will never get to drive me out of your life!â
He didnât want it! He didnât want Jian Jian to belong to any other man but him.
âUncle, promise me, never leave me behind, and take me with you wherever you go, okay?â Jian Dan, with tears in her eyes, looked earnestly at Chu Liyuan.
âSilly lass!â
âIâm not silly at all!â
âAlright, youâre not silly!â Chu Liyuan gently stroked Jian Danâs head and once again embraced her in his arms.
From afar, a man clad in a black outfit, looking through the scope of his sniper rifle, saw the two embracing, a hint of loss flashing in his icy eyes that even he did not notice.
The man packed up his sniper rifle, slung it over his shoulder, and glanced once more in the direction he had just been observing, his lips curving into a sinister smile as he left the place without a soundâ¦
Because of the sudden incident here at the building, although they had rescued the girls who were held captive by Shen Jue, Shen Jue himself had escaped amidst the chaosâ¦
