Chapter 880 - Stop Her (1/2)

Xiu was actually surprised when she saw a gun in Niu Peizhi's hands. After all, guns had been illegal in the country for years. And it was a serious offense for civilians to carry guns. Even the professional bodyguards didn't have the right to carry guns unless they were protecting a public figure.

All the thugs that Niu Peizhi gathered were also not carrying any guns. Only Niu Peizhi had a gun which no one knew about until now. But it was already too late.

Although five people were standing before Xiu to protect her, they had all been shot on their knees. No matter how strong they were, a bullet on the knee really hurt like hell and had made them drop on the floor in pain. However, when they saw Niu Peizhi aiming the gun at Xiu, they gritted their teeth and still jumped before Xiu to shield her with their bodies.

Inside the car, Han Bohai's blood had run cold when he had seen this scene play before his eyes and had run out of the car for Xiu. He couldn't even think about losing Xiu once again.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye although it seemed like a long time had passed. Niu Peizhi had felt a rush of happiness bursting inside her heart when the last bullet let the gun but soon, her smile of accomplishment froze.

Because before the bullet could even touch Xiu, out of nowhere someone jumped himself in front of Xiu and the bullet hit his chest and the blood spurted out.

Everything turned silent for a moment. The people who had been involved in tearing each other apart, now stood rooted right where they were when they saw all of this.

Xiu craned her neck to see who came to protect her and threw his life away for her. Her brows raised up slightly when she recognized the person before her eyes. However, her expressions didn't show any sign of sadness. She wasn't happy at this outcome but she wasn't sad either.

But she was quite curious to learn about Niu Peizhi and Liu Nuan's state right now. Niu Peizhi stood rooted in her place with a paled face while Liu Nuan ran over towards the person who was shot and shouted, ”Jinhai! Jinhai!”

Yes, the person who had jumped to throw his life away was actually Niu Peizhi's own son, Zhou Jinhai. How he appeared here, Xiu didn't know. Why did he appear, she also didn't know. As for why he chose to protect her... She actually had a faint idea in her mind.

Liu Nuan ran up to Zhou Jinhai and kneeled down beside his body before she pulled him into her arms. ”Jinhai! Wake up!” She kept calling him with tears falling down her face. Her state looked like someone who had officially let go of the last thread of the sanity. Now, she was just crazily trying to wake up the man she had loved her whole life but who never loved her back.

”Don't leave me! Please, don't leave me! If you want to divorce me, I agree! I won't say a word about that. Just don't die. Please, don't die!”

Zhou Jinhai looked at her with a bleak look in his eyes as he said in a soft voice, ”They say you only learn when it's too late. It seems like they are right.”

Liu Nuan cried even harder, ”Don't talk.” She pressed on his wound trying to stop the blood but nothing helped as she kept crying and shouting hysterically. ”Nothing is too late.”

Niu Peizhi felt like her feet had turned of lead as she wasn't able to even lift her feet at all. But she had to drag her old body over to her son's side. She fell down beside him as she stared at him with a complicated look, ”You threw away your mother for her, and now, you are even willing to throw away your life for her?”

Zhou Jinhai coughed out blood and weakly turned his head to look at Xiu. His eyes held an indescribable emotion. He didn't believe in the nonsense that Liu Nuan had told his mother. He had heard it all through his mother's trusted aide but he didn't believe a single thing about the so-called rebirth. However, that didn't mean he wasn't willing to help Xiu who was now his younger brother's wife.

And also just because Xiu shared the name with Chen Xiu, his first love, he felt obligated to save her. He owed too much to two people in his life, one was his younger brother, Darren and the other was, Chen Xiu. Since he got the chance to do something for them, how could he walk away?
