Chapter 724: Chapter 725 A Gunshot Bang!
In the moment when she was nearly suffocating, Gu Qiangwei didn’t know where she found the strength to struggle forcefully, freeing her slender, fair hands from the ropes. Her instinctual reaction was to raise her hands to try and pry off the strangling grip on her neck.
But Nangong Feifei’s strength was too great, and with her having lost her reason at that moment, Qiangwei could not overpower her!
She couldn’t die…
Eventually, when her strength was exhausted, Gu Qiangwei felt the handgun in her pocket. Without thinking, she raised it quickly and pressed it against Nangong Feifei’s abdomen and ‘Bang!’ a gunshot rang out! The hands around Gu Qiangwei’s neck finally loosened!
With her breathing returning, she hurriedly pushed away the Nangong Feifei in front of her!
In a consequent move, she pushed her to the ground where bright red blood streamed from her abdomen.
At this moment, Gu Qiangwei was completely frightened, staring in shock at the convulsing Nangong Feifei lying on the ground…
Meanwhile, Qin Sijue had already spotted this small wooden cabin from the air, and just as he was about to rush in after landing, he heard a gunshot from inside!
His steps instinctively paused, his face suddenly ashen!
“Weiwei!”
He quickly ran towards the overgrown and abandoned wooden cabin, with Luo Chen and others following close behind.
At the sound of the gunshot, Luo Chen’s face turned pale with fear too, because no one knew who had fired the gun.
Rushing into the cabin, what Qin Sijue saw was Gu Qiangwei slumped on the ground, and he felt his heartbeat miss several beats!
“Weiwei!”
He strode forward, dashing towards her like an arrow.
Gu Qiangwei’s gaze was still fixed on the face of the now still Nangong Feifei, who lay there with eyes wide open in death.
This was actually the first time in her life that she had seen a dead person, and it was she who had fired the shot.
In an instant, it seemed Gu Qiangwei was truly terrified, her face turning pale and utterly devoid of color.
It wasn’t until she heard Qin Sijue’s voice that she slowly turned her head with shock and fear, her face pallid, “Sijue…”
The moment he saw her unharmed, Qin Sijue pulled her into his embrace, intentionally preventing her from seeing the way Nangong Feifei died.
But Gu Qiangwei was still terrified, because… she had killed someone.
“I… I killed someone…”
Although she felt Nangong Feifei’s actions were hateful and detestable and had thought about exacting revenge herself, when Nangong Feifei actually died at the end of her gun, Qiangwei’s heart was filled with hesitation and fear! After all, she had never killed anyone in her life of over twenty years.
She hadn’t even killed a chicken before, let alone a person.
As she laid in his arms, her frail body began to shake uncontrollably with fear…
His brow deeply furrowed, he soothed her the best he could, “It’s over.”
But Gu Qiangwei was still in a state of panic, continuously muttering, “I killed someone… I really… killed someone…”
“It’s okay, I’m here.” He held her tightly in his arms, patting her back gently for comfort.
Luo Chen and the others rushed in and saw Nangong Feifei lying in a pool of blood, her eyes open in death.
Looking at Gu Qiangwei, they saw that she seemed to have been frightened out of her wits, her face deathly white as she trembled in Qin Sijue’s embrace.
“Check on her.”
Understanding the reason for her fear, Qin Sijue didn’t release Gu Qiangwei, but instead scooped her up horizontally, making sure to avoid letting her see Nangong Feifei’s body from her angle.
