The System pursed its lips. After a long moment, it slowly squeezed the trigger—
A searingly hot bullet sped toward Shen Lang.
Shen Zhi's head snapped up at the sound. He didn't even have time to react, his eyes wide with horror.
The bullet tore into flesh, and blood splattered across the scene.
The beauty's delicate face was spattered with blood, the coppery scent thick in the air. She was completely stunned.
'…How could this be?'
The one who had been shot wasn't her... it was Bai Wei.
In that split second, he had bent down and pulled her into his arms, shielding her with his body. That was why the bullet hadn't hit her.
...Bai Wei had taken a bullet to his side.
He collapsed into her arms, the color draining from his face in an instant.
