Chapter 20 When Affection Eventually Runs Out
Gu Qixiao arranged for people to protect Song Xuan’s safety, stemming from the life-saving act of her brother.
Three years ago, despite the changing seasons, he had never forgotten the scene from that day...
Three years ago, abroad.
Gu Qixiao, who had originally planned to return home, encountered a local terrorist attack after completing a client meeting. Initially unaffected, Gu Qixiao and the two groups of clients intended to flee separately.
Unexpectedly, after the clients left, Gu Qixiao’s party was discovered by the terrorists.
Surviving amidst a hail of bullets was exceedingly difficult. Under the protection of numerous bodyguards, Gu Qixiao could have safely withdrawn. However, just as everyone least expected, a gunshot came straight at Gu Qixiao.
If subsequent investigations hadn’t confirmed that these terrorists had been active locally, it would have been hard to determine whether their target was truly Gu Qixiao.
"Tingdong!"
When everyone witnessed Song Tingdong take a bullet for Gu Qixiao, the group was stunned.
Screams and shouts mingled with the thick smoke billowing nearby, filling the air with chaos.
Yet Gu Qixiao and his entourage stood rooted in place, watching Song Tingdong’s life quietly fade before their very eyes.
