The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 620 - 582: It’s Over

The roar of the helicopter hovered overhead.

The night wind whipped against everyone.

Suddenly, both sides were locked in a stand-off.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Chen Xi.

Their gazes met, and Chen Xi grabbed Gu Yao’s hand on her shoulder, trying to yank it off forcefully. Unable to pull it away, she shouted, "Qiao Yuxian! Don’t worry about me! Don’t worry about me! You don’t need to care about me! I trust you! I know you’ll avenge me, avenge my sister! Don’t worry about me!"

"Chen Xi, I really can’t tame you, can I?" Gu Yao chuckled and said, "I offered you my heart, and you didn’t even take a look."

Gu Yao’s previously obedient and fresh demeanor at the banquet hall had completely vanished. His entire aura was filled with a sinister vibe, his eyes soaked in cruel excitement.

It was as if he had completely become a different person.

Chen Xi struggled again and managed to hit Gu Yao once.

Gu Yao took the hit without any other reaction.

Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak. She watched Chen Xi and slowly tightened her grip on the silver hairpin in her hand.

She knew that someone had already gone to deal with the sniper.

Yet she feared it might be too late.

"Gu Yanjing." Qin Xia’s voice suddenly came urgently through everyone’s earpiece, shouting Gu Yanjing’s name.

Chu Zhengran instinctively ran toward Gu Yanjing.

Qiao Yuxian, being closest to Gu Yanjing, turned around and leaped onto him upon hearing Qin Xia’s voice, pushing him to take cover.

Even in such an urgent situation, Gu Yanjing instinctively enveloped her in his arms, spinning halfway as she pushed him backward, cradling her in his embrace.

Meanwhile, Chu Zhengran also came over and pulled Gu Yanjing aside.

The three barely moved from their position when bullets rained down.

Clearly aimed at Gu Yanjing.

Judging by where the bullets landed, the sniper was tracing Gu Yanjing’s movements to target him.

Had they been even a fraction of a second slower, Gu Yanjing might have been hit.

The gunshot seemed to crackle right next to their ears. Qiao Yuxian pulled Gu Yanjing back further, retreating to a safe corner. After confirming his safety by feeling his back, she finally relaxed.

"You...." Qiao Yuxian glared at him and said.

"It’s okay." Gu Yanjing touched her head.

Qiao Yuxian still wanted to say something when suddenly the sound of the helicopter drew closer. They all looked at Gu Yao.

Gu Yao was gradually retreating with Chen Xi.

"Qin Xia, don’t give him the chance to escape." Gu Yanjing pressed on his earpiece and said.

"Understood." Qin Xia responded.

Qiao Yuxian pressed her lips together, not making a sound.

Not giving Gu Yao a chance to escape, if necessary, they might leave his life here.

And Chen Xi...

Qiao Yuxian took a step forward.

Gu Yanjing pulled her back, "Someone’s already dealing with the sniper, there’s still time."

Qiao Yuxian paused her steps.

Once the sniper was taken care of, if Gu Yao insisted on not releasing people, dealing with him could also save Chen Xi.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Chen Xi.

There were some discarded wooden crates piled on the rooftop.

In the recent fight, some had already been broken.

Gu Yao was retreating slowly with Chen Xi, as they passed by several stacked crates, Chen Xi grabbed the edge of one, unwilling to leave with him.

But Gu Yao pried her hand away and continued to pull her back.

At this moment, Lu Mengyi’s voice came through the earpiece: "No need to worry about the sniper."

Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing immediately aimed their guns at Gu Yao, while Qin Xia directly fired a shot.

Simultaneously, Chen Xi suddenly shouted, "Qiao Yuxian, avenge me! Don’t let him go!"

As she spoke, her hanging hand suddenly rose and fiercely stabbed into her left chest.

Everything happened too fast.

From Lu Mengyi’s voice over the earpiece to Chen Xi’s self-handling, and Qin Xia’s shot, it all happened almost simultaneously, in an instant.

There was no time to react to many things.

The bullet went through Gu Yao’s right arm, causing the knife in his hand to slip.

Gu Yao grunted, his right hand useless, but he didn’t care. He held the fallen Chen Xi and knelt on the ground: "Chen Xi!"

"Chen Xi!" Qiao Yuxian immediately moved forward.

Gu Yanjing, pressing his earpiece, quickly called for paramedics.

Gu Yao, disregarding the pain in his arm, held her and pressed on the wound in her chest.

A long nail penetrated Chen Xi’s left chest, a piece pulled down from the crate she grasped earlier and kept holding.

She didn’t know someone had gone to deal with the sniper, nor that Qin Xia had already fired.

She only knew that if she died, Qiao Yuxian and the others would have no scruples, and Gu Yao wouldn’t be able to escape.

She could avenge her sister.

"Chen Xi!" Gu Yao tremulously pressed the wound: "Don’t be scared, it’s okay, it’s okay."

Gu Yanjing stood behind Qiao Yuxian, Chu Zhengran at his side.

Both watched Gu Yao.

"Chen Xi, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you, I didn’t mean to." Tears flowed from Gu Yao’s eyes.

Qiao Yuxian knelt beside Chen Xi, watching Gu Yao’s falling tears.

"You hate me this much!" Gu Yao shouted.

"You killed my sister." Chen Xi clutched his shirt tightly, glaring at him, "You must die! You must die!"

Police officers came, pulling Gu Yao away.

Gu Yao held on to Chen Xi, refusing to let go.

Qiao Yuxian pushed him: "You’re pressing on her wound!"

Gu Yao immediately released his grip.

The officers restrained him.

Qiao Yuxian knelt on the ground, letting Chen Xi lean against her, applying pressure to her wound: "It’s okay, don’t be afraid."

"Kill him, make sure to kill him." Chen Xi clutched Qiao Yuxian’s wrist.

"I know. He won’t get away with it." Qiao Yuxian said, "For your sister, for you, for all the innocent. He won’t get away."

"Thank you." Chen Xi said.

"I should be thanking you." Qiao Yuxian said.

Chen Xi smiled slightly, closing her eyes, inhaling slowly in spite of the pain.

Gu Yao lay pressed to the ground, veins bulging on his neck, staring at Chen Xi, and shouted: "Qiao Yuxian! Save her! Save her! I’ll tell you everything I know! Save her! She did a lot she didn’t want to just to pass information to you! She was the one who blew up the Capital City’s underground lab! She suffered a lot to get the information out. Save her! Save her!"

Qiao Yuxian ignored him.

The paramedics quickly arrived with a stretcher.

They placed Chen Xi on the stretcher.

Gu Yao watched as Chen Xi was carried away, shouting: "Chen Xi! Live well! Live well!"

"Tch, what kind of affection are you showing now?" Chu Zhengran said, "How affectionate were you when you killed her family?"

Gu Yao’s face was streaked with tears, and he closed his eyes, saying nothing, nor did he resist the officers holding him.

When Gu Yao was shot, the helicopter above left.

Someone went to deal with the helicopter.

All that remained on the rooftop was the sound of the wind.

Gu Yanjing wiped the blood off Qiao Yuxian’s hand.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him.

Gu Yanjing said, "It’s over. Everything went smoothly across all regions."

Qiao Yuxian stared blankly at him, her bloodshot eyes still vivid, but after a moment, she came back to her senses and nodded with a glimmer of rationality.

"Chen Xi will be fine." Gu Yanjing said again.

Qiao Yuxian nodded again, her tensed body relaxing slightly...
