Chapter 1152: Riding the Wind and Asking the Moon (237)

The moment she saw Ainte and the others appear, Zuo Yue instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

It turned out that Xu Chengfeng had already made arrangements. No wonder he had been walking alone in the crowd just now. Now that he suddenly appeared, it was probably not just for the little girl. The opportunity to appear was very important. Otherwise, how could he so easily attract the attention of those people and cause the rear to fall?

Obviously, her worries were superfluous.

What kind of person was Xu Chengfeng? How could he put himself in a situation where he was threatened and controlled by others?

He was such a calm person. No matter what he did, he had his reasons.

Zuo Yue glanced at him again, intending to turn around and return to the resting room.

On the other side, Xu Chengfeng was about to send the child in his arms back to the crowd when the little girl in his arms turned around and saw her mother running out of the crowd. When she saw her mother’s frightened expression, she instinctively thought that the strange uncle who was hugging her was a bad person. She quickly lowered her head and bit the back of his hand.

Xu Chengfeng was caught off guard and was bitten. Although it was not a big deal, he still let go of his hand in an instant. The little girl quickly took the opportunity to break free from his arms and ran towards her mother who was running out of the crowd.

This was a normal scene. Xu Chengfeng’s gaze suddenly swept across the child’s mother’s face and recognized that she was the wife of the head of a certain firearms group in Boston. He instantly knew that the danger at the banquet tonight was 100% related to the firearms group behind this woman. His gaze only swept across the necklace on the woman’s neck before he suddenly reached out to pull the innocent child back.”Don’t go over!”

“Let go of me! I want my mommy!” The confused little girl screamed in fear.

Just as Xu Chengfeng pulled the little girl back, someone suddenly fired a shot in his direction from behind. The shot was originally aimed at his heart. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that most of his attention was on the child to get rid of this huge obstacle. However, because Xu Chengfeng instantly carried the child and dodged, the shot only narrowly missed his shoulder, leaving a bloody mark on his shoulder.

Zuo Yue turned around when she heard the gunshot, only to see the little girl’s mother suddenly explode in the crowd…

In an instant, blood splattered everywhere, and even sharper screams came from the crowd. People began to scatter and hide. They were frightened by the little girl in Xu Chengfeng’s arms. They looked at the empty space in front of them in a daze, but they could no longer see their mother.

Xu Chengfeng covered the little girl’s eyes with one hand with an ugly expression, not letting her continue looking. At the same time, he turned his eyes and swept a cold glance at those people.

Zuo Yue also looked in that direction in disbelief.

What kind of deep hatred was this?

How could a person suddenly explode?

Did that woman offend someone?

Did someone secretly plant a miniature bomb on that woman? How could this be…

Ainte and the others had already rushed out and started shooting at those people. Xu Chengfeng ignored the injury on his shoulder and turned around with the little girl in his arms. The little girl suddenly seemed to have remembered something and struggled in his arms. Xu Chengfeng lowered his head and whispered a warning in the little girl’s ear. The little girl immediately stopped moving. Because her eyes were covered, no one could see the little girl’s tears. Xu Chengfeng turned around and handed her to another middle-aged woman in the banquet hall. After giving some instructions, he turned around and walked towards Zuo Yue.

Zuo Yue was still staring blankly at the direction where the woman had exploded. Xu Chengfeng walked up to her and looked at her with a serious expression.”Didn’t I tell you to wait in the resting room? When did I let you out?”

“I…” Worried that she couldn’t say the word, Zuo Yue bit her lip and didn’t explain further. She only looked at him again and said,””Be careful, then.”

Then, she looked at the bloody wound on his shoulder and told herself not to interfere or cause trouble. She turned around and left.

Just as she turned around, someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Zuo Yue felt her vision blur and she was suddenly pulled back into his arms. Xu Chengfeng hugged her tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body. As he hugged her, he whispered in her ear,””The mother of that child just now is an arms dealer. Because the situation between arms dealers and the underworld has become more and more serious in recent years, it’s common for people to be hunted down in the open and in the dark.”

Zuo Yue stared blankly at the little girl who was crying until she was about to die. She said stiffly,””Such a small child, losing his mother just like that, so pitiful…”

“Being born into a family of firearms, such a fate is inevitable. However, she still has other family members.”Xu Chengfeng said as he let go of her. At the same time, he signaled her with his eyes to hurry back to the resting room.

Zuo Yue nodded and turned to leave. Her heart was empty and filled with emotions. She could not think about romance in such an occasion, but Xu Chengfeng’s sudden hug seemed to have dispelled all her previous deductions.

She pushed open the door to the resting room, and the scene inside shocked her so much that her footsteps froze.

In order to escape, the couple had actually broken the window from the inside, which attracted the attention of the gangsters. Now, a few armed men had jumped into the window. The couple had been shot and were on the verge of death. Their child was being lifted up by one of them and was about to be thrown to the ground.

Zuo Yue subconsciously took a step back. In the blink of an eye, he saw a chair not far away. He quickly picked up the chair and made up his mind. He turned around and rushed back to the resting room. He raised the heavy chair in his hand and smashed it hard on the person’s back.

The person who was hit only staggered for a moment, but the child in his hand fell to the ground because he did not throw it with all his strength. The child was so scared that he rolled and crawled to hide beside his parents who were shot. Those people suddenly looked at Zuo Yue. Zuo Yue met their gazes. Although she was extremely afraid, she still hurriedly pulled the child and escaped with her. However, the person who was just hit by him picked up the chair on the ground and threw it at her when she turned around and was about to run.

The person’s strength was great, and the location of the smash was extremely precise. Zuo Yue was smashed forward and fell to the ground. She felt as if her spine was about to break. She coughed and spat out blood. She wanted to stand up, but the few people went forward and kicked her hard. She rolled out of the resting room through the tunnel that was kicked by the kick. In the end, she lay weakly on the ground. Even if she did not look back, She could still feel that the guns of those people were aimed at her head, and their killing intent was deep.

Zuo Yue pressed her hands on the ground and raised her head with difficulty. There was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. Her eyes were red as she looked in the direction of the crowd in front of her. She looked at Xu Chengfeng from afar.
