Chapter 798: Chapter 802 Obedient Little Darling
He crouched in front of Ye Xingbei and whispered, “Beibei, you have to come back with me to see Xiao Shu, ‘If you don’t come back, Xiao Shu won’t move.'”
Having just seen that there was no more trouble here, Ye Xingbei had asked him to go back and look for Xiao Shumiao.
Ye Xingbei was startled, and quickly nodded.
Duan Yanbing grabbed her wrist, “Follow me, keep your body as low as possible and move quickly.”
Today, they hadn’t lost more lives, thanks to the huge ornamental rocks on both sides of the road.
Besides the huge stones, there were only some low tombstones on both sides of the road, hardly a place to hide a person.
But there were gaps several meters wide between the huge stones, and one had to move quickly through them to avoid becoming a target for the sniper.
Duan Yanbing led Ye Xingbei back to Xiao Shumiao’s side.
Xiao Shumiao was leaning against the huge rock, the same as when Ye Xingbei had left; he hadn’t moved at all.
His face was streaked with tears, yet he hadn’t made a sound crying.
Gu Chi and Lingyue were beside him, one on each side, trying to coax him into something.
He pursed his lips, only shaking his head.
Seeing Ye Xingbei return, Gu Chi relieved, whispered, “Young Madam, Young Master said that you told him he couldn’t move before you came back, otherwise you would be in danger. I tried persuading him, but he refused to leave with me, so we had to call for you to come back.”
Looking at Xiao Shumiao’s pale little face, Ye Xingbei’s heart ached unbearably.
She suddenly hugged Xiao Shumiao tightly, showering him with kisses, “Good boy, my baby is so good, so brilliant, mama is back now, and you don’t have to be scared.”
Xiao Shumiao, with tears welling up in his eyes, hugged her neck and asked softly, “Mama, you’re not in danger anymore, right?”
“Yes,” Ye Xingbei, the tears she had just held back, couldn’t help but fall again, “It’s all right now, baby, we’re not in danger anymore, soon the police officers will come, and mama will take you home.”
The sniper had killed someone, which was a serious criminal case, and the police would certainly take it very seriously, dispatching officers to search the mountain.
Ye Xingbei didn’t expect to catch the sniper immediately, but at least the heavy presence of police would serve to deter the sniper, making him leave the area.
That way, they could return home safely.
Logically, the sniper should have already left, as it was unlikely for him to stick around waiting for the police to catch him, but Ye Xingbei didn’t want to take the risk.
The sniper was too frightening.
Hiding hundreds of meters away, he killed unseen.
They hadn’t even caught a glimpse of the assailant; a bullet had flown from hundreds of meters away and ended Qiao Yi’s life.
Even now, Ye Xingbei still felt as if it all were a dream.
Sirens wailed as the police rushed over quickly.
Within Feng City Police’s jurisdiction, the appearance of a sniper rifle, a highly prohibited weapon, was taken very seriously by the Feng City Police, who immediately dispatched all available officers to the scene at top speed.
The leading officer, accompanied by a few plainclothes officers, came over to give Gu Junzhu and the others a depositional record.
The rest of the police spread out to search the mountain for the culprit and clues.
Under the protection of Gu Chi and Duan Yanbing, Ye Xingbei, holding Xiao Shumiao, returned to Gu Junzhu’s side.
Gu Junzhu had been silent the whole time.
Qiao Zui was still unconscious.
Fang Yao stared at Qiao Yi’s body, not saying a word.
Only Mi Sheng, sobbing, recounted intermittently, “…The instructor seemed to have noticed something amiss, he suddenly pushed my brother away, my brother was shoved aside, and the instructor got shot in the arm, when Sister Yiyi saw that the instructor was hurt, she panicked and lunged toward him, then the second shot was fired, and Sister Yiyi, she… she…”
She covered her mouth, too distraught to continue speaking.
The female officer taking the depositional record asked softly, “The instructor you mentioned, what is his relationship to the deceased?”
