Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Huo Chen lost most of his things in the river after falling into it. The gun was the only weapon he had left.
Wen He pursed her lips. Suddenly, she darted outside, evaded a bullet from the enemy, and arrived right in front of the man. She punched him and then kicked him down. The man was knocked out and dropped his gun.
She was about to pick it up when she heard more footsteps coming toward them.
“Huo Chen, we have to go!”
Their gunfire exchange may have alerted the enemy forces.
If they do not leave soon, the enemy might just kill them!
Wen He ran to Huo Chen and helped him up. They must leave as soon as possible.
However, they had only taken a few steps when Wen He saw the man she knocked out earlier had woken up and picked up his gun. He aimed the gun at Huo Chen and pulled the trigger!
“Watch out!”
Wen He pushed him away without thinking.
Bang!
The bullet missed its mark but hit Wen He in the shoulder.
Blood gushed out from her wound!
Wen He pressed onto her wound and stumbled a few steps back, then slipped and fell backward, right at the edge of the cliff.
In that critical moment, Huo Chen found his way back to her and clutched onto her hand.
“Hold onto me, Wen He!”
Her body hung precariously in the air.
Huo Chen tugged at her hand with all his strength to pull her up.
Gradually, she was pulled closer and closer to safety.
Unfortunately, the man who shot her earlier had gotten to his feet. He approached them slowly with a menacing smile on his face.
“Huo Chen, when I kill you and bring your head back to Sha Kang, he will reward me with a giant fortune!”
Huo Chen ignored him and continued to pull Wen He up.
“Enough,” Wen He said.
She looked up at Huo Chen anxiously.
She wanted to burst out crying, not out of fear for her life, but because she might never see him again.
“You have saved me again and again, so let me return the favour this one time. Oh, by the way, please take care of Bai for me, and…”
She paused, and then smiled brightly.
“Don’t remember me.”
She wished for him to remember her forever, but this was not the way she wanted to force him to remember.
“Wen He!”
Huo Chen watched in horror at her signature alluring smile.
“Goodbye, Huo Chen.”
Also…
I love you.
She ripped her hand out from his grasp.
“No!”
As the warmth of her hand faded away, Huo Chen’s steely expression finally contorted into one of shock and terror as he watched her freefall to the bottom of the hill!
Her figure became smaller and smaller until finally, she turned into a black dot and vanished from his sight.
“Wen He!!”
Huo Chen screamed his heart out like a wolf that had lost its soul mate. Something broke inside him that made it difficult to breathe.
“Die, Huo Chen!”
The enemy behind him laughed coldly, but Huo Chen ignored the man completely and sagged like a lifeless puppet.
