Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Mo Qian, you’re injured!

Gu Moqian dragged her swiftly, ducking into the nearby darkness. In that split second, the sound of gunfire erupted so close to their ears it felt like it was grazing them, leaving Ji Wei’s eardrums buzzing with pain.

"Mo Qian, are you hurt?"

The darkness ahead was impenetrable, and Ji Wei couldn’t tell if he was injured. Her hands groped wildly over the man’s body just in case.

When her hand brushed against Gu Moqian’s arm, he couldn’t suppress a muffled groan.

Ji Wei felt a sticky, slippery liquid on her hand. Her expression changed drastically, and she spoke urgently, "Mo Qian, you’re bleeding!"

The woman’s voice trembled, but Gu Moqian’s face remained composed and measured, without a trace of panic: "Just a scratch. Don’t worry."

His steady tone didn’t sound like someone gravely injured, and Ji Wei finally exhaled a bit, relieved.

At that moment, two figures emerged swiftly from the darkness, approaching them.

Ji Wei was alarmed. She turned sharply, shielding Gu Moqian behind her, and shouted harshly, "Who are you? Come after me if you need something!"

Gu Moqian placed a firm hand on her shoulder and spoke in a low tone, "They’re my men."

The two shadows bowed to Gu Moqian in unison. One handed him a gun and reported, "Mr. Gu, approximately a dozen assassins are aboard the cruise ship. Who sent them is still unclear. The rest of our team is engaged in a firefight with them. For now, we’re here to escort you and your wife off the ship."

"Understood," Gu Moqian replied succinctly.

The two men in black led the way, while Ji Wei and Gu Moqian followed closely behind, moving quickly toward the ship’s exit.

Along the way, the men in black managed to shoot down several assassins attempting sneak attacks. The journey was incredibly perilous, and Ji Wei’s heart raced relentlessly, sweat coating her palms.

When they reached the deck, Ji Wei was utterly stunned by what she saw.

The cruise ship was shrouded in pitch-black darkness, entirely devoid of light. If not for the relentless cries, screams, and endless gunfire, one might think this was a ghost ship abandoned long ago.

The deck was strewn with bodies, and the pungent stench of blood made Ji Wei nearly retch. She quickly covered her nose and mouth to prevent herself from actually vomiting.

The ship’s emergency lifeboats had already been lowered into the sea, with crowds scrambling and shouting in a frantic attempt to escape onto them.

Ji Wei and Gu Moqian made their way to the deck, where Xi Nanfeng and Qin Sixue were already seated on one of the lifeboats below.

"Old Mo, hurry down!" Xi Nanfeng waved urgently to the two of them.

Suddenly, a gunshot rang out behind them. Ji Wei spun around instantly and saw one of the men in black protecting them collapse, clutching his chest in agony as he curled into himself.

Right before her eyes, a living person was struck and fell, and Ji Wei’s face turned pale as a ghost.

The other man in black fired several shots toward the third level of the ship. A faint scream was heard, followed by a figure crashing down, spurting blood from their mouth, lifeless.

Gu Moqian turned his eyes coldly, like icy steel, fixating on a particular room on the ship’s third level.

From one of its windows, something sharp and glinting briefly caught the light before disappearing.

Gu Moqian adeptly drew his pistol, aimed at the window, and fired multiple shots. A scream echoed, and blood splattered across the glass.

For the first time, Ji Wei witnessed Gu Moqian wielding a gun—so sharp, ruthless, and decisive.

Before she could react, Gu Moqian suddenly pulled her into his embrace, tackling her to the ground. "Don’t move!"

The two rolled together into the shadows of the deck, narrowly avoiding the hailstorm of bullets raining down from above.

The deafening gunfire surrounding them kept Ji Wei completely frozen in place. When she finally dared look up, she saw their previous standing spot riddled with bullet holes.

If not for Gu Moqian’s swift reflexes just now, those holes would surely have been in their bodies...noveldrama
