Chapter 182 Sniping in the Dead of Night

"week……"

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but the man didn't give her a chance. He took the bowl of porridge from her hand, put it back on the bedside table, and kissed her passionately again.

Just as everything was about to get out of control, a loud 'bang' suddenly rang out, deafeningly loud.

Su Xi couldn't help but scream.

Everything happened so fast that she hadn't even had time to react before the sound of shattering glass followed, like a torrential downpour.

Zhou Jingming sensed danger and his first reaction was to press down on Su Xi, holding her tightly in his arms.

Su Xi's mind went completely blank.

Why would a shooting happen out of nowhere?

She never dared to go near it.

The worst-case scenario is that the enemy is still lurking around, and if she exposes herself to the enemy's view at this time, she may become their target.

Because of this gunshot, the originally bright environment was plunged into darkness.

In the dimly lit environment, you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.

The sound of glass falling continued.

A piercing, ferocious sound!

A cold wind rushed in from outside, making a particularly loud whooshing sound.

I don't know how much time passed before everything finally quieted down.

Zhou Jingming's hoarse voice was close to her ear, "Are you hurt anywhere?"

"No,"

Su Xi stepped away from the man's embrace, her expression grave. "I'll go see what's going on."

Just as she was about to move, Zhou Jingming quickly hugged her again, saying, "Don't move, it's dangerous."

"Everything will be alright."

Su Xi insisted on getting out of bed.

Just then, a loud commotion came from outside, followed by the bodyguard's anxious voice, "Young Master Zhou, Madam, are you alright?"

Zhou Jingming shouted sternly, "Go and find out who fired the shot."

"yes."

The bodyguards then retreated.

Su Xi left the man's embrace, carefully got out of bed, put on her shoes, and walked step by step toward the window.

The ground was covered with shards of broken glass.

Su Xi turned on her phone's flashlight and clearly found a golden bullet among the debris.

It's a sniper rifle!

Su Xi stood up with the bullet in her hand and looked out the window.

As expected, the range is at least 100 meters.

The opponent was able to hit the master bedroom window squarely, so he must be a top-notch marksman.

Ultimately, they came for Zhou Jingming.

Or is it for her?

"Xi'er, have you found anything?" Zhou Jingming struggled to get out of bed.

Su Xi regained her senses and turned around to stop him from moving around. "The other party has already escaped, leaving behind this bullet."

After saying that, she handed him the bullet.

Zhou Jingming picked it up and looked at it, his brows furrowed deeply.

Although the environment was dim, Su Xi could still clearly see that Zhou Jingming's expression was off. "What, do you recognize this kind of bullet?"

Of course I know him.

It was the same bullet that wounded him this time.

Looks like I messed up last time.

Those people are not willing to let this go.

Therefore, it would be extremely dangerous for Su Xi to remain by his side.

Suddenly, the lights came on.

The bedroom was suddenly bright again.

The mess on the ground was clearly visible.

Zhou Jingming avoided her question, pulled her hand into his arms, and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, and whoever it is, they will have to pay the price."

Shortly afterward, the bodyguard brought the news.

Seeing the bodyguard's stammering manner, Su Xi knew it was inappropriate for her to stay, so she turned and left the master bedroom.

As soon as she left, Zhou Jingming's face darkened. "Why did this accident happen?"

The villa's windows are all made of special glass.

Ordinary guns simply cannot penetrate it.

But tonight's shooting not only damaged the windows, but also nearly put them in danger.

Zhou Jingming simply couldn't imagine what would have happened if Su Xi had been standing at the window just now.

What terrible thing will happen next!

“The sniper was lurking in the building across the street. It was our negligence that prevented us from spotting him in time. Please punish us, sir.” The bodyguard bent his knees and knelt on the ground.

The bodyguards in this villa are all elites that Zhou Jingming transferred from Dark Night Pavilion.

Recently, Zhou Jingming discovered that a force was secretly stirring up trouble.

He has already sent people to investigate, but so far they haven't managed to force the other party to reveal their true colors.

Unexpectedly, assassinating him wasn't enough.

They still dare to trespass on his territory and attack.

"Activate all drones and infrared surveillance systems. Make sure to monitor any activity within 100 meters of the villa. We must capture this person as soon as possible." Fortunately, there were no casualties this time, but it's not hard to guarantee that we'll be so lucky next time.

"Is it possible that Fengxiang Pavilion did it?"

Without a second thought, Zhou Jingming immediately ruled out that possibility, saying, "Fengxiang Pavilion isn't that despicable. There must be someone manipulating all of this behind the scenes."

"If it wasn't Fengxiang Pavilion, who else could it be?" The bodyguard couldn't understand who was so bold as to dare to lay a hand on Mr. Jiu.

They've been investigating the other party's identity for so long, but haven't found a single clue.

Unfortunately, the enemy is in the shadows, while they are in the open.

If the other party makes a move, it will end up like tonight, in a dangerous situation.

Zhou Jingming's face was very grim. He wasn't worried about anything else, but he was afraid that Su Xi would be implicated.

"Recently, we have sent some people to secretly protect my wife. We must ensure her safety."

The bodyguard nodded respectfully, "Understood."

In the study.

Su Xi immediately contacted Fu Yu and asked her to investigate the matter.

First Zhou Jingming was injured, and now there's been a sniping incident. This matter is definitely not as simple as Zhou Jingming claims.

"Recently, I've also discovered a mysterious force operating internationally. Is it possible that the problem lies here?"

"What power?"

Fu Yu shook his head. "I don't know. These people are acting suspiciously and we can't find their whereabouts. I'll send more people to keep an eye on them recently, and I'll report to you immediately if there's any trouble."

"Have Yao Yao and Yan Zhi keep an eye on Li Xuemei and Su Rou. I'm worried that they might also be involved."

Everything was too coincidental.

This forced her to connect all the dots.

However, Zhou Jingming and Su Rou, mother and daughter, have no connection whatsoever, making the matter even more perplexing.

"Speaking of Li Xuemei, not long ago we heard from the hospital that someone had been in Li Xuemei's ward last night. After that, Li Xuemei's vital signs became weak. Fortunately, the on-duty doctor discovered it in time and Li Xuemei has been rescued."

Upon hearing this, Su Xi's face turned deathly pale. "Have the surveillance footage been retrieved?"

“I’ve already checked, and they didn’t capture any suspicious individuals. I suspect the other person is a master, knowing how to avoid the cameras.” Fu Yu couldn’t think of a better explanation.

Su Xi tapped her fingers on the coffee table.

It seems that the other party was targeting Li Xuemei in this car accident.

Li Xuemei has committed many bad deeds over the years and has offended many people.

But who could hate her so much that they wanted to take her life?

Su Xi couldn't figure out the other person's identity.

The only option is for Fu Yu to send out more people to wait and ambush them.

If the other party dares to show up again, we will capture him on the spot!
