The whistling sound of the bullets was so subtle and stealthy.

In the noisy audience, it was completely negligible.

Although Gong Jue and the little packrat were sitting in the front row, they were still dozens of meters away from Gu Qiqi.

They only saw Gu Qiqi suddenly turn around and take a step forward, but they didn’t know what she was going to do.

The little boy was still looking forward to it innocently. “Is Big Sister going to give me a surprise? Big Sister said that she would give me a share of the rewards if she wins the competition!”

Gong Jue’s brow furrowed for some reason.

His heart trembled uncontrollably!

This feeling was very strange. It was as if there was a very bad undercurrent surging in something that was connected to his bloodline.

A premonition.

Did something happen to his brother, Gong Sheng? After all, he was the closest to him in this world.

This was what he thought logically, but for some reason, Gong Jue couldn’t help but look in Gu Qiqi’s direction. At a 45-degree angle to the left…

Gong Jue’s pupils constricted. At a 45-degree angle to the left! That was where the S Nation delegation was!

Was there anything unusual there?

Otherwise, Qiqi wouldn’t have turned in that direction for no reason.

Under the guidance of his intuition, Gong Jue approached the truth.

Unfortunately, even at his fastest speed, he sensed the danger in an instant. It was still too late.

The moment the bullet burst out, it was already too late!

The moment Gong Jue sensed it, the silver bullet had already arrived less than a meter away from Gu Qiqi’s heart. It was about to pierce through her heart!

Behind Gu Qiqi was where he and the little packrat were.

In a flash, Gong Jue understood everything.

Gu Qiqi was protecting him and the little packrat. She would rather take the bullet herself.

Stupid woman!

Gong Jue’s eyes were instantly bloodshot. He shouted, “Qi Qi—don’t!”

He really wanted to rush over in a second and pick up the stupid woman in his arms to protect her.

However, he still had Little Packrat in his hands!

In a daze, the ball watched as the veins on Gong Jue’s forehead suddenly bulged. His expression was dark and furious, and his tone was filled with anxiety and fear. He didn’t know what was wrong with him. “Daddy, you’re scaring Big Sister…”

His soft child-like voice made Gong Jue’s heart ache.

He had not taken the initiative to bring this child to this world, nor had the child been born naturally under the circumstances where he and the woman he loved were in love with each other. This child was just an accident. His family had been afraid that he would not be able to inherit his legacy, so they had bought the eggs of an unknown woman, taken his sperm, and forcefully created him… Even so, he had never felt that the little packrat was a burden to him.

He knew very well that after giving birth, one had to have a responsibility to take care of the child.

But at this moment, he really regretted it for a second. If only he were a man without a son, without a burden, and alone in the world.

Then, he would be able to love and protect that stupid woman on stage with all his heart. He would not be in a dilemma!

Yes, this thought was beastly, but he really couldn’t help but think about it!

Tears filled his eyes. He didn’t know how he would face the immense pain of losing Gu Qiqi after that bullet pierced through her heart.

He would probably never be able to smile again in his life.

Or perhaps, he would not be able to resist burying himself in the ground with her.

In a flash, many despairing thoughts flashed through her mind. Gong Jue’s expression was so dark that the little packrat found it terrifying!

At this moment of despair!

Suddenly!

The floor of the stage shook violently!

Beside Gu Qiqi, a tall, sky-green shadow suddenly jumped out from the judges’ seats.

His footsteps were heavy and swift, almost breaking the expensive wooden floor. He stepped in front of her.

He would block this bullet for her!
