A Husband For Killer Mom

167 Ch. 167 A Gunshot

Raymond approached his wife, who had fallen with Anxia’s body falling on her. Neither Richard nor Raymond knew what was happening and thought their wives were arguing.

Michele also didn’t know why Anxia suddenly pushed her and pressed her down. Did Anxia still want to kill her? Hadn’t Anxia been friendly and even taken her hand protectively?

Why did Anxia suddenly change her mind?

On the contrary, Anxia got up in a panic position as soon as Raymond arrived next to them. She investigated Michele’s body condition from head to toe and sighed with relief when she found no bullets on Michele.

“Michele, are you all right?” Raymond pulled Michele from Anxia to check on her body.

“I’m fine. Xiao Xia, what’s wrong?”

Anxia didn’t answer and turned her head towards the source of the bullet fired at Michele. She squinted her eyes and focused all her senses on her sight. Only then did she see the figure of a man behind a dark pillar raise his long firearm and leave.

Anxia bit her tongue furiously. No one managed to escape from her once someone injured her family members. Anxia ran towards the shooter without warning, startled the four people with her, and called out to her.

“Anxia!”

.....

“Hey, you’re bleeding!” Harmonie shouted in panic when she saw blood on the ground near Michele’s buttocks.

Worriedly Raymond opened Michele’s jacket to check the blood’s origin. Richard himself was also worried and afraid that his wife would hurt Michele. He knew that his brotherly relationship with Raymond would be in jeopardy once Anxia was proven to have harmed Michele.

“I’m fine. My back is aching, but it’s not my blood.”

Raymond and Richard sighed with relief at Michele’s explanation.

And it’s true, as soon as Michele stood up, there were no bloodstains on her clothes. If it’s not Michele’s blood, then whose blood is it?

Instantly Richard’s face turned pale, and he turned to the direction where Anxia was running.

“Rei, take them home first. I’ll catch you at home.”

Raymond was astonished by his brother’s words, and it was only when he saw the fresh blood on the ground again that he understood it was Anxia’s blood! Raymond urged his wife and sister to return home without asking too many questions.

At the same time, Richard ran to find his wife and even activated Elain―his digital program―to track his wife’s phone. Richard had just heard a shooting sound, but he didn’t think about it because he thought the sound was the fireworks blaring out.

In addition, the sound of gunshots sounded subtle and mixed with the sound of fireworks so that no one would notice a sniper in their midst.

The people around them also didn’t have any suspicions and only felt astonished to see Anxia pushing Michelle down.

But seeing Anxia, who suddenly turned quiet and wore a dark expression like two years ago―he knew that his wife was in assassin mode. Richard didn’t understand why Anxia suddenly went back into assassin mode, where the girl wouldn’t hear his calls. Richard only realized why the girl had suddenly changed and was emitting her murderous aura when he saw the fresh blood on the ground.

Richard learned Anxia pushed Michele to protect his sister-in-law, resulting in Anxia being injured instead.

‘Xia Xia, why are you acting alone?’ Richard did not stop praying and hoped his wife would not be seriously injured and would be fine.

Meanwhile, Anxia had caught up with her target, and now they were in a narrow street where people rarely entered this area. A high wire fence with high voltage electricity with a no-entry warning was her obstacle to keep advancing—the perfect place to face off against her opponent without attracting the attention of others.

Anxia found a medium-sized gap and managed to enter it without getting electrocuted. She walked without letting down her guard while blood flowed down her upper arm to her little finger before dripping onto the ground, leaving a trail of blood.

When the bullet penetrated her right back shoulder, Anxia felt no pain and didn’t care where the shot landed on her. Her only focus was to chase the main culprit who had targeted Michelle’s life.

But when Anxia felt a liquid flowing from her shoulder, she felt numb in her arms as if she was losing energy. However, her entire defense system focused on chasing down the shooter who had just disrupted her family’s quality time. She just wanted to know who and what the sniper’s aim was.

Anxia stopped walking as she arrived in the middle of an abandoned warehouse-like building.

She felt her target stop running and turn around to face her, so Anxia waited for her target to come out of his hiding place. Not long after, the sniper who had just shot her went out dressed in all black, covered with a knee-length black coat. Behind his back was a long firearm attached to a sling strap that looped from his left shoulder to his right waist.

“Fancy to see you again, Qiao Qiao.”

“Wang Xuemin. What are you doing here?”

“What do you think? You suddenly disappeared six years ago, and four years later, the master found you and Ling Meng in Germany with a small child. Who is that kid? Why is Ling Meng so protective of that child?”

Anxia wore a straight face when Xuemin noted a child who must be none other than Lori. But her face looked angry when the man mentioned Ling Meng. She remembered how much her friend suffered when Master Yu and his men caught and beat the girl without mercy.

“Were you there when they beat up Ling Meng?”

“…”

“Wang Xuemin. Did you see them beat up Meng Meng yourself? You let them beat her to death?!”

“Then? What should I do? Defending her was no different from letting them kill me too? I’m not that stupid, Qiao Qiao, but I didn’t know you’d become foolish after disappearing for these six years. What are you doing, letting your enemy take you by the arm and walk side by side with her? I remember you hated Michele to the core, yet you let her touch you?”

“So… you shot her…”

Xuemin gave a crooked smile as he continued Anxia’s words, “You should thank me, but you were a fool to protect her.”
