1680 Willing To Give Her Life

Originally, the heir the old master thought highly of was Huo Yuzhou. After that, it was Gu Zheng. However, the old master actually chose another stranger and he rose to power in just a few days. It seemed that this man's strength could not be underestimated.

Gu Zheng, are you sure you want to be my enemy for this woman? the man asked coldly.

If you want to take Xi Xi away, you're my enemy. Gu Zheng protected Qiao Xi in his arms, his voice filled with determination.

A man in a black windbreaker walked toward them. He was wearing a mask and hat, revealing only his eyes. His appearance could not be seen clearly. He was like a demon who had walked out of hell as he slowly raised his gun at Qiao Xi.

Bang!

A gunshot pierced through the air and hit the sky above Qiao Xi. The shell fell from the sky and hit the deck.

Since you're unwilling to leave, I can only kill you!

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone aimed their guns at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi frowned. Her family mainly wanted to capture her for her blood, but this man really wanted to kill her. Moreover, she kept having the feeling that this man was a little familiar.

After a few seconds of silence, she said helplessly, I'll go with you.

No! Gu Zheng roared and held her hand tightly.

The man smiled in satisfaction. Come over yourself and I'll let them go. Otherwise, Gu Zheng, Xue Liang, Qin An, and everyone here will die here!

Qiao Xi looked at the black muzzles, and her eyes were slightly teary. If she refused, bullets would take their lives. In front of weapons, they were indeed a little weak.

The man looked at her conflicted expression and was extremely proud, but the next second, he could not smile anymore.

Huo Yuzhou had raised his gun and pressed it against the man's head. His voice was cold. If you kill them, I'll kill you too. Let's die together.

His move completely changed the situation. Brook's people instantly panicked. They did not dare to raise their guns at Huo Yuzhou and could only watch this scene in horror.

Huo Yuzhou, are you going against me for this woman?

Let them go! I'll go back with you! Huo Yuzhou gritted his teeth.

The man suddenly laughed, then quickly said, Kill her!

As soon as these words were spoken, one of them suddenly shot at Qiao Xi.

Bang!

Qiao Xi was pushed away by Gu Zheng. The bullet brushed past his arm, and blood gushed out. Due to the strong inertia, Qiao Xi fell into the sea.

Huo Yuzhou pressed the gun in his hand against the man's head. I'm warning you, tell them to stop immediately. Otherwise, I'll really kill you!

The man stared fixedly at the surface of the sea. Gu Zheng was actually willing to take a bullet for Qiao Xi and even jump into the sea without caring about his injuries. If he gave the order to shoot again, they would not be able to escape.

A man like Gu Zheng actually disregarded his life for a woman. It was the same for Huo Yuzhou. He really did not understand what charm Qiao Xi and Xia Yunqiu had to make those men willingly give up their lives for them.

The man knew that Huo Yuzhou was really determined to kill him. If he gave the order to shoot, Huo Yuzhou would kill him with one shot. There was a high chance that those people would not attack Huo Yuzhou. After all, he controlled a third of the Brook family's power. If they killed him, the family would be in chaos and everyone would be affected.

He was silent for a long time before waving his hand lightly. Those people returned to the cabin and sailed away on three of the boats.

Huo Yuzhou smirked. Thank you, Patriarch.

I've thought of many possibilities and was prepared to fight Gu Zheng. I didn't expect to be defeated by you. The man sneered.

You saved her once, but you can't save her life. I'll kill her sooner or later! The man's eyes were filled with maliciousness and killing intent.

Huo Yuzhou noticed something and asked tentatively, Do you have a grudge against Qiao Xi?

Although the man did not answer, Huo Yuzhou was already sure that his hatred for Qiao Xi could not be hidden.

After Qiao Xi fell into the sea, the stinging seawater caused her entire body to stiffen. Coupled with the fact that her injuries had yet to recover, her consciousness gradually became blurry, and her body sank uncontrollably.

In a daze, a figure swam toward her. His strong arms wrapped around her waist as he hugged her and swam up.

Qiao Xi opened her eyes. In the cold seawater, the man's eyes were still so bright and deep. At this moment, Gu Zheng seemed to be a god who had descended to earth, his entire body emitting light.

Her consciousness gradually blurred. At the last moment, his slightly cold lips landed on hers, and his hot breath dissipated every trace of coldness in her body.
