Chapter 511: Chapter 508
Women are always sensitive.
She set down the book and quietly approached the window, slightly moved the curtain, and glimpsed the scene outside.
With one look, she took in the actions of a group of gunmen in black suits outside.
Her eyes widened in shock, as she hadn’t expected such a remote place to be discovered!
No, to be precise, it was Li Tingze’s men who had found them!
But as she touched the curtain with her fingertips, the men in black suits downstairs seemed to notice the movement. The next second, Wen Xian saw someone raise their gun and fire a barrage towards her…
Bullets created several marks on the window, leaving behind a web of cracks that stuck together.
Wen Xian quickly moved away from the spot, grabbed the handgun on the table, and rushed up to the attic.
There, she found the magazines and bullets Lu Xiao had given her, stuffing them all into her pockets.
When she returned to the window and saw someone opening the white fence outside, suddenly, there was a loud bang—a violent explosion came from outside!
The blast seemed to carry a heatwave mixed with the surrounding snow, assaulting the entire cabin!
Wen Xian quickly dodged and took cover behind a wooden panel next to the window, protecting her head from the debris.
When she finally looked again with somewhat calmer breaths, she saw that the person who had been opening the gate was blasted away, and two others suffered the same fate.
Then, she saw several figures emerge from the trees, drawing nearer while firing at them.
Wen Xian recognized their uniforms; they were all special forces.
So Lu Xiao had sent special forces to protect her.
However, just then, another explosion rocked the cabin.
Following that, Wen Xian heard frantic footsteps and voices from below:
“We’ll handle this side, you go find the person!”
The cabin was indeed small, and its hiding places were terribly obvious. Soon, Wen Xian heard someone climbing up to the attic.
When he reached the attic, he seemed to find that no one was there either.
The man quickly searched everything, creating a mess.
Eventually, his gaze settled on a cabinet, staring intently at it, he raised his gun, and then walked step by step towards it.
However, when the suited man arrived at the cabinet and yanked it open, he found nothing but clothes inside, it was utterly empty—!
His expression changed instantly, and he appeared unwilling to accept it, rummaging through it a few more times.
Finally, he turned to leave.
But just as he started to turn, something seemed to strike his mind; he paused, then slowly turned back.
His eyes fixed on the door panel behind the cabinet; he reached out and pushed against it—
He pushed, but it did not budge.
Behind that panel, Wen Xian was holding her breath.
In front of her was a bolt lock, installed precisely to prevent someone from opening it and discovering the secret passage.
Ultimately, the man seemed to discover nothing and finally turned to leave.
However, when he was about to go downstairs, his steps on the stair treads gave the impression he was descending.
But in reality, he had not left; his gaze was still fixed on the cabinet.
Just then, suddenly, a faint noise came from the cabinet.
The man instantly rushed over, aimed at the wardrobe, and unleashed a hail of bullets—!
