The gunshot made Jian Dan and the others' expressions change instantly, their hearts leaping with tension. It wasn't until they saw the angle of the footage on the computer staying the same that they confirmed nothing had happened.
In the moment the man aimed at Xingxing and pulled the trigger, there wasn't a trace of fear on Xingxing's face. She didn't even blink.
But the shot didn't hit Xingxing; it struck the wall on the other side. At the same time as the man pulled the trigger, another man beside him shoved him, making the shot go astray.
"What are you trying to do? Could it be you're on their side too?" The man suddenly turned his gun and aimed it at the one who had just stopped him.
"Boss, how could I possibly be on their side? I stopped you because right now we can't kill them. They're the only leverage we have. If we kill them, we're truly done for and left to die ourselves."
The man found logic in these words, and slowly lowered his gun, his anger subsiding somewhat.
