Huo Ting Cheng had thought she wanted to beat him up, but when he felt that whiz of a bullet, he immediately shoved her into the car, closing the door. Both guards had just noticed that an attempted murder had occurred in this private compound.
The echo of the gunshot still lingered in the air, ringing in everyone's ears.
The courtyard, which had been chaotic seconds ago, now froze into eerie silence. Every guard, every bystander, even the Xu couple, stood wide-eyed in disbelief.
A sniper. Inside the Xu family's private estate, what was the meaning of this? And it was aimed at Huo Ting Cheng.
Huo Ting Cheng's expression was unreadable, his blue eyes glinting with an icy calculation. He lifted his sleeve slightly, inspecting the torn fabric where the bullet had grazed him. Not a trace of fear, only lethal calm.
"Seal the exits," he commanded coldly, voice like a blade slicing through the cold night. "No one leaves until I say so."
