77 Forsaken by the World (1/2)

Chu Yue suppressed the fear gripping her heart and ran in Fang Chongqiang's direction. However, she had not taken more than a few steps when a sniper bullet streaked through the air and struck the road in front of her. There was an ear-splitting bang as a large crater was blown open in the hard road with a spray of concrete chips and dust. Chu Yue staggered back in shock, losing her footing and falling into the street.

”Yueyue!”

Fang Chongqiang was about to rush out of the car to save Chu Yue but was held back by one of his black-suited bodyguards.

”The enemy's target is Miss Chu. It is very dangerous for you to run out there, Young Master Fang!” the bodyguard warned him sternly. His job was solely to ensure the safety of Fang Chongqiang and Fang Shulan. The security of others was not his concern.

”But...” Fang Chongqiang felt trapped between a rock and a hard place.

Before he could continue, a pale-faced Fang Shulan shrieked hysterically, ”Drive! Go! Get us away from here quickly!”

Her only thoughts were of leaving the scene of carnage, and she could not care less about what happened to Chu Yue.

The order was acknowledged, and the black-suited bodyguard signaled with his hand. The drivers took them away in the three black sedans, zooming out of sight in an instant. The hidden mercenaries had not been firing at them, so their target was obviously Chu Yue.

”Fang Chongqiang, Fang Shulan, you guys...”

Chu Yue could not believe that Fang Chongqiang's group would actually leave her behind and escape. After all, their fathers were very close friends. With her two bodyguards out of action, leaving her here was basically a death sentence.

As she turned to look, she realized Xiao Luo had also disappeared.

Despair filled her thoughts at this moment, and she felt forsaken by the entire world.

”Xiao Luo, don't you have some incredible skills? Why did you run away too?!”

She did not understand why she felt this way, but being abandoned by Xiao Luo hurt her far more than when the Fang siblings deserted her. She cursed him grudgingly, and her beautiful face was slick with falling tears.

”You're just going to sit there and wait to get shot?”

She heard someone calling out to her. As he spoke stiffly, he was clearly a foreigner whose mother tongue was not Chinese.

Three large Western men stepped out from the dense forest. Each was carrying a rifle and wearing combat gear that she did not recognize.

Xiang Gaoyang and Xiang Gaojian drew their sidearms from their waists and prepared to counter-attack. Just then, one of the three attackers, a black man, rested the muzzle of his gun on Chu Yue's head. In an icy deadpan voice, he shouted, ”If you want your miss to live, then drop your weapons now!”

The three gunmen gave off the air of trained killers. Xiang Gaoyang and Xiang Gaojian recognized this at once, and they immediately stopped and obediently placed their handguns on the ground.

”That's a good boy!”

One of the other burly men walked over to them with a grin then smashed their heads with the butt of his rifle. There was a splatter of blood, and the two men sank into the red puddle pooling below them. Their consciousness faded, and their vision blurred.

”Tsk tsk! This chick is much prettier in person!” The black man lifted Chu Yue's chin in one hand, ignoring her pained expression and clenched teeth. In a low voice, he chuckled, ”Especially this cute little mouth. It's a real masterpiece.”

Saying this, he grabbed a fistful of her hair and started rubbing her pretty face into his crotch.
