Gu Moqian's lips curved into a cold arch, and he did not answer her words.
"Mo Qian, let me stay by your side. We'll face this together—" Ji Wei had just grabbed the sleeve of Gu Moqian's coat, trying to persuade him further, when suddenly a loud bang erupted. The study's window instantly shattered, glass raining down and scattering across the floor.
Ji Wei was stunned by the deafening sound, her mind blank. Before she could react, a second gunshot followed.
BANG!
Ji Wei felt like her eardrums were about to burst.
At the very moment the gunfire rang out, Gu Moqian acted swiftly, pulling her into his arms and dodging behind the nearby bookcase.
Pressed against Gu Moqian's chest, Ji Wei didn't dare to move, her heart pounding as if it would leap out.
The study fell silent for a brief moment, only to be filled again with an unrelenting barrage of gunfire.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
