Chapter 298: Chapter 298 The person who wants your life_1 Chapter 298: Chapter 298 The person who wants your life_1 “Who are you?”
“The one here to end your life!” The group was clearly made up of devoted warriors, their faces cold and rigid, their eyes frozen in place.
Qiao Anchu was terrified, having no idea who he had managed to offend. Or perhaps, they were enemies of the Qiao Family.
Fortunately, Qiao Anchu had learned martial arts with his master in Shanshui Town, and he managed to dodge their deadly attacks in a haphazard manner.
The sound of gunfire continually echoed in his ears, not only alerting the people of the Qiao Family, but also those outside.
Qiao Anchu barely exchanged a few moves with the men in black when a gunshot sounded not far away, and a bullet embedded deeply into his left chest.
A stream of bright red blood spread out. Qiao Anchu widened his eyes, looking down at his own bloodied body, almost fainting from shock.
The men in black noticed their target. They intended to take the body away and wouldn’t leave until they had seen the corpse with their own eyes. But they discovered that the Qiao Family’s bodyguards had already started to surround them systematically.
The leader of the men in black sensed the danger and paused, signalling for them to retreat.
“Miss Qiao, are you okay!”
When the Butler came running over, he saw Qiao Anchu, his chest struck by a bullet, already lying weakly on the ground, his face as white as a sheet. The crime scene was a gruesome sight, with fresh blood everywhere, and the perpetrators had already fled, leaving in their white van.
Qiao Anchu collapsed on the ground, his chest aching as if being stabbed with a needle. His face was as pale as a sheet of paper, and beads of sweat were pouring down. It seemed as though death was only one step away, and his forehead was wet like a waterfall.
“Uncle Wu, this young lady is injured…”
The bodyguard dressed in black embarrassingly referred to Qiao Anchu as “this young lady” because the old master had never admitted her status. Now, she could only be considered a passerby in the Qiao Family.
The bodyguard in black didn’t dare to move the person on the ground, fearing any complications. Uncle Wu interrupted him, commanding the maids to give her on-the-spot treatment while calling the dedicated hospital of the Qiao Family to send an ambulance over.
“Should we send someone to investigate?”
“Who dares to murder at the doorstep of the Qiao Family must surely be a group of dead men, do you think you can find any clues on the spot? Do you think you can find who they are? Don’t waste your time and do nothing.” Uncle Wu scolded his subordinates, prioritizing sending Qiao Anchu to the hospital first.
The medical resources exclusive to the Qiao Family arrived quickly. Qiao Anchu was lying on the stretcher in agony, unable to utter a word.
She hadn’t expected that this trip to the Capital would bring her one step closer to death. A light of astonishment burst out from the bottom of Qiao Anchu’s eyes. Maybe this was an opportunity. She must seize this chance to move the Qiao Family!
“Uncle Wu, I’m okay.”
Uncle Wu felt guilt. After all, Qiao Anchu could potentially be the heiress of the Qiao Family, and his failure to protect her was dereliction of duty.
After everything was taken care of, Uncle Wu reported everything to Qiao Lin. After some thought, Qiao Lin decided to go to the study to see the old master first.
“Dad, Qiao Anchu was just shot in the left chest by unidentified assailants, fortunately, it did not hit the vital parts. I’ve already sent her to the military hospital.” Qiao Lin said while carefully observing his father’s expression. Qiao Anchu had a good chance of being their Qiao Family’s little princess, and it would be hard to bear if something unfortunate happened to her at this time.
The old master of Qiao Family leaned on his cane, looking out the window. It seemed as though he had anticipated something, and finally he let out a sigh, “Later we will visit her in the hospital, after all…”
Hearing the old master’s words, Qiao Lin seemed to guess something, “Dad, you…”
