187: Gunshots 187: Gunshots Editor: Atlas Studios After dodging the front hooves of Yu Shu’s horse, Gu Mang landed steadily on her horse again.
Her hand pressed a part of the horse and it instantly calmed down the frantic horse as it dashed towards the finish line.
Seeing this, Yu Shu panicked a little.
Grabbing the reins, she tried to give chase, but the horse turned left and right, refusing to obey.
She forced herself to keep her composure as she reached over to pull the needle out, only to find that the needle had been broken and gotten stuck in the horse’s body.
The horse screamed in pain, kicked its hind legs, and threw Yu Shu to the ground.
She looked wretched on the ground.
Unable to get up, she was pale and frightened.
Seeing that the crazy horse was about to kick Yu Shu, Qin Fang was alarmed to see that Lu Chengzhou had no intention of shooting.
He quickly said, “Brother Cheng, if Yu Shu gets into an accident, you will have a hard time answering Uncle Lu.” Although the Yu family wasn’t a super powerful family, it had a good reputation in the capital and Yu Zhen was also Uncle Lu’s subordinate.
If he asked about it later on, things would get really awkward.
Lu Chengzhou was expressionless, his dark eyes cold and frosty.
Watching the horse going mad in front of her in horror, Yu Shu shouted out frantically, “Chengzhou, save me!” Before Yu Shu was hit by a horse’s hoof, a deafening gunshot was heard.
Lu Chengzhou had thrown the gun to Qin Fang so he could shoot.
The horse was killed instantly.
Its carcass slammed stiffly onto the ground before Yu Shu, stirring up a cloud of dust in her face.
Stern faced, Qin Fang gestured to the staff with his chin and the staff immediately ran to help Yu Shu up.
Gu Mang got off her horse after crossing the finishing line.
She passed the reins over to the horse trainer and walked in their direction.
Feeling a wet sensation as he touched the reins, the trainer opened his hand.
His hands were covered in blood and he turned pale.
Meng Jinyang was startled upon hearing the gunshot.
She was left in a daze.
Upon seeing Gu Mang, she cast all other thoughts away as she shook off Jiang Shenyuan’s arm and went up to the girl in a hurry.
She looked Gu Mang over.
“Are you injured anywhere?” She looked to her hand and saw drops of blood dripping to the ground.
Her face immediately turned pale.
The blood was a bright red on her fair hands.
“Your hands…” Meng Jinyang frowned.
She wanted to grab her hands but didn’t dare to touch them, afraid that she might hurt her.
Meng Jinyang’s eyes reddened.
Gu Mang shook her head.
“It’s nothing.
Don’t worry.” Lu Chengzhou walked over as soon as Gu Mang got off the horse.
Seeing Meng Jinyang talking to her, he kept quiet but his dark eyes continued to stare at her.
Seeing her bloody palms, his thin lips were pursed and his eyes exuded a murderous aura.
She had rubbed her hands raw against the reins.
How could one stabilize a frenzied horse so easily?
“Tell the doctors to get ready.” His voice was gloomy and terrifying.
He Yidu nodded and immediately called the racecourse’s medical clinic.
Gu Mang looked at her own hands.
Her palms were badly mangled but she was a doctor herself and knew that her injuries weren’t serious.
The blood seeped into the soil, forming a dark red patch.
“I’m really okay.” Gu Mang looked at Lu Chengzhou and added patiently, “It’s just abrasion from pulling the reins.” Lu Chengzhou carefully held her wrist, hummed, and mumbled in a raspy voice, “We’ll put some medicine on it for awhile.” Gu Mang raised her brows slightly and nodded.
Lu Chengzhou took her to the clinic not far away.
Seeing Gu Mang’s hand, Qin Yaozhi immediately rose to anger.
Glaring at Yu Shu who had just been helped up, she shouted at her unsympathetically, “Ms.
Yu, if you wish to die, don’t drag others down with you!” Yu Shu had twisted her ankle when she fell off the horse.
She limped as she walked and her lips were pale.
Jiang Shenyuan and Qin Rui looked grim as they both never expected this would happen.
