Chapter 16: Shot

Robbery?

This was the only thought that flashed through Song Ge's mind. She lifted her eyes and tried to look ahead—

"Screech!"

The bustling crowd was like loose sand blocking the car. The driver slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel sharply!

The car shook violently to the left. Song Ge was startled. Her unsteady body was thrown to the side due to the external force.

"Ouch!" Song Ge couldn't help but cry out. Her body landed heavily in a broad and warm embrace. Her eyes widened in surprise. Her hands, having nowhere to rest, pressed down and touched something firm.

"Be careful." A cold voice came faintly from beside her ear, making Song Ge's ear tingle. She quickly withdrew her hands, only feeling that the temperature her fingertips touched was scarily hot.

She nodded instinctively. Turning her head, she happened to meet Zhai Cheng's perfect and handsome face. The man slightly frowned his sword-shaped eyebrows. His strong arm gently encircled Song Ge's petite body as his inky eyes looked ahead.

"Turn around!"

Zhai Cheng's face showed a hint of solemnity. He slightly squinted his long and narrow black eyes. The fragmented sunlight fell on his long eyelashes.

"Yes, Mr. Zhai." The driver wiped the sweat off his forehead. He also felt that something was wrong and quickly turned the steering wheel.

"Bang!" At this moment, a car rammed into the sedan urgently and violently. It even accelerated desperately, leaving a deep dent in the Rolls - Royce.

The private driver almost hit the door on the side due to the violent impact.

Song Ge tightly grabbed Zhai Cheng's sleeve, while Zhai Cheng firmly held onto the car seat. The complex emotions in his black eyes fluctuated.

"It's a good car." The driver in the other car whistled. "But my car is not bad either!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the car rammed into the Rolls - Royce's body again, urgently and fiercely. A group of robbers cheered excitedly. Under the heavy impact, the Rolls - Royce tilted halfway and fell against the roadside railing.

Due to the sudden tilt, half of the light in the car went dark. Song Ge only felt that the scene in front of her was spinning. But she was locked in Zhai Cheng's arms and didn't feel any pain at all.

"Are you okay?" A magnetic voice sounded above her head. Song Ge suddenly noticed that there was a warm touch on her head—

Zhai Cheng's slender hand was protecting her head.

"I'm fine." Song Ge shook her head. She raised her small face, looking a bit worried. "But..."

Zhai Cheng followed Song Ge's gaze. The robbers in the car got out one after another and joined the robbers outside. Some of them were holding guns and walking towards Zhai Cheng and Song Ge.

"Stay calm and respond accordingly." Zhai Cheng lowered his voice. His handsome face darkened.

Song Ge nodded. A sense of peace of mind spread in her heart.

"Everyone get out of the car immediately, or we'll shoot!" The leader of the robbers walked up to a nearby car and kicked it hard, causing the men, women, and children in the car to scream.

Zhai Cheng took Song Ge's hand and carefully helped her out of the car. The two of them stood steadily beside the car.

"Hey, you're not saying a word. Are you scared stupid?" Several robbers laughed and pointed their guns at the two of them. Then they kicked the front of the car hard. "Hey! Driver, get out quickly. What are you dawdling about!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Don't shoot!" The driver crawled out of the car shakily, which made the robbers burst into laughter.

"Hey, these guys are so timid. Come on, let's go over there and take a look!"

Seeing that the robbers were getting farther and farther away from them, Zhai Cheng's eyes darkened. His big hand with calluses silently held Song Ge's hand.

"We have a chance." Zhai Cheng whispered hoarsely in Song Ge's ear.

Song Ge blinked her eyes and stared at the group of robbers intently. Her heart was pounding. The palm of the hand being held was sweating involuntarily.

"Go!" When Zhai Cheng thought the distance was enough, he tightly clasped Song Ge's hand and shuttled past the car body.

"Hey, don't point your guns at us. Look behind you!" Several people being pointed at by guns cried and shouted.

Oh no!

Song Ge's eyes widened slightly. Her heart skipped a beat. At that moment, a strong sense of foreboding welled up in her heart.

"Good grief, these two are trying to escape!"

Several robbers chased after them desperately. A tall and thin man had already picked up his gun and aimed it in Zhai Cheng's direction.

No, he can't get hurt!

This thought flashed through Song Ge's mind. She gritted her teeth and threw her petite body at Zhai Cheng.

"Bang!" The bullet leaving the muzzle drew a perfect and standard arc in the air.

Zhai Cheng keenly caught the sound of the gunshot. He turned his head and looked at Song Ge who was throwing herself at him. There was a rare look of surprise on his always - cold face.

"Oof!"

The bullet rushed past Song Ge's body and hit the car window beside her. The car window immediately had a hole in it.

This scene fell into Zhai Cheng's eyes. There was a glint in his black eyes. He turned and looked in Song Ge's direction.

"Freeze! All robbers, surrender!"

At this moment, the police cars roared and surrounded the entire road section. The fully - equipped policemen got out of the cars one after another. Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, they directly captured the group of robbers and took away their guns.

The most dangerous threat had disappeared. Song Ge let out a sigh of relief. Her small face instantly turned a bit paler. The wound on her body was aching faintly. She couldn't support her body and slowly slid down.

"Song Ge!"

Zhai Cheng called out her name. His strong arm caught Song Ge who was about to slide down. His black eyes tightly locked on the person in front of him, carefully looking at her pale face.

This was the first time he had looked at her so carefully since they had known each other for so long.

She was his personal assistant, and she had once said that she would protect him.

However, now, this woman had really protected him in her own way.

A strange emotion suddenly flowed in Zhai Cheng's heart. The strength in his big hand unconsciously increased. He lowered his head and looked at Song Ge, shouting to the policemen not far away:

"Someone's been shot. Call an ambulance quickly!"

"No, I wasn't shot..." Song Ge quickly stretched out her fair hand and pressed it against Zhai Cheng's thin lips. She propped herself up from his embrace and pointed at the bullet hole in the car window beside them. "Look, the bullet hit here. I just got a scratch."

Seeing that Song Ge could still move, Zhai Cheng unconsciously let out a sigh of relief. But the strange feeling in his heart became even stronger.

Song Ge managed to stand up. She staggered and almost fell to the side. A pair of big hands quickly supported her.

Zhai Cheng encircled Song Ge's slender waist so that she could lean her weight on him.

"Aha, it seems the scratch is a bit serious..." Song Ge raised her bloodless small face and showed an embarrassed smile. She reached out and scratched her head.
