Chapter 471 - LONG TIME NO SEE (2/2)

She felt like she was at the cusp of everything. However, before she could learn the answer, she heard a distinctive pop and whizzing sound in the air. She recognised this sound as that of a bullet being discharged from a silenced gun.

”Duck!” She shouted at Zhong Feng.

As they both rolled behind the bed, there was the distinctive sound of a window breaking, and the bullet hitting the Chairman. Hu Lei cursed. She peered around the corner of the bed and looked at the window. There was no indication of another shot.

Unfortunately, the Chairman was dead. The bullet had penetrated his skull perfectly. She felt angry at the disruption at the critical minute and the loss of a valuable witness. She wanted to scream in frustration.

”I am going to check it out.” Hu Lei whispered to Zhong Feng.

”No, it is too dangerous. We will find another way.” Zhong Feng said.

”Don't worry. I think it is a targeted kill. And I will not take risks. I have you and Xiao Bao. I will not do anything to jeopardise my life.” Hu Lei said.

”Xiao Lei…” The man protested.

Hu Lei kissed Zhong Feng's lips lightly. ”You promised to listen to me. Clear out the property. Grab what you can from his phone and computers and get everyone out immediately. We do not want to be caught on the scene if anyone saw the shooter.”

Without waiting, she rushed to the window and looked through it from the side. She discovered the shooter perched on a large tree within the property with a sniper gun on his shoulder. He did not look like he was trying to escape.

If anything, he seemed to be waiting.

Hu Lei almost cursed as she opened the window and looked at the smug face of the shooter. The man smiled and beckoned with a look of superiority. She gritted her teeth in anger when she remembered their last fight on the ship.

”It is Frank. He won't kill me.” Probably. ”Clear out the house.” She said to Zhong Feng because he was right behind her, unwilling to leave.

The words did not comfort Zhong Feng. He felt a possessive wave of jealousy flood his heart after hearing what Hu Lei said. He could not tell why Hu Lei was confident that Frank would not kill her. He did not want his wife ȧssociating with strange men.

”Go!” Hu Lei prompted him again.

Then, she opened the window and stepped out through the narrow gap. She paused on the window sill for a while before jumping down to the ground. She landed in a crouch. Since it was the first floor, she was not afraid of the distance, even in her diminished condition.

She walked to the tree and arrived just as Frank jumped down from his perch.

”Long time no see, my dear,” Frank said teasingly.

”Not long enough, pirate.” Hu Lei responded.
