It’s Hard To Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 436 GUN FIRE

Apple drew closer to the stern of the ship where she could hear some noise from. But since the gunfire had stopped, she tried to walk closer, with her back against the wall and a gun in hand.

Apple could only feel a little relieved when she saw a man lying face down on the floor of the boat near the mast with two men pointing their guns at him.

Apple recognized the man that had fallen on the floor to be one of the two men who had been at the bar.

While the two men who pointed a gun at the first man were Jayden’s men.

“Where’s the other man?” Apple asked them. They stared at Apple for a moment, but then they answered the question, because they had seen this girl with Jayden before.

“He managed to escape to the other ship, there are already two people chasing after him,” one of them answered.

“Where are the others?” Apple asked.

“They’re checking this ship,” he answered again.

Thinking that the situation here was under control, Apple then ran toward the ship that the bodyguard had pointed to earlier.

Apple didn’t think anything of it, she just wanted this to be over quickly and enable Jayden to get the two people he wanted.

Therefore, to shorten the time, she jumped from one ship to another because the distance allowed her to go for a jump, instead of having to get off this ship and get on to the next ship.

However, what Apple didn’t know was; her moves just drew admiration from the two men who saw her, they didn’t expect the cute-looking girl to have such astonishing courage.

Meanwhile, Apple landed smoothly on the second ship, rolled for a moment and immediately stood up with a gun ready in her hand, she then looked around her warily.

From seeing her moves alone, one could tell that this was not the first time she had to face such a condition.

After confirming that no one was around, Apple immediately walked to the ship’s deck and checked it.

The ship was quite large, so Apple had to really pick up on every sound that surrounded it, between the gusts of wind from the sea and the waves rocking the ship.

Apple was silent for a moment when she heard gunshots and people screaming in pain.

Once she was sure of where the voice was coming from, she immediately moved toward it, running cautiously and occasionally looking behind her back.

The first thing her father taught her was to always be aware of what was behind her while she was looking at what was in front of her.

It was a confusing lesson for Apple when she was a kid, but now she was used to it and was grateful that her father had taught her it.

Soon, another shot was heard which was followed by two more gunshots.

Apple immediately took cover and listened to her surroundings. Only after she felt sure things were getting safer did she come out of her hiding place and sneaked toward the source of the sound.

There, on the deck of the ship, Apple could see two of Jayden men had fallen on the ground with blood soaking the floor. The man had managed to immobilize both men and now Apple didn’t know where the man was.

Apple didn’t immediately approach the two men who had been injured, but was grateful when she noticed that they were still moving. They were even groaning in pain.

It was only after waiting for a while and feeling that the conditions were safe, Apple walked toward the two men.

However, before she could reach the two of them, someone had run very fast toward her.

Her instincts kicked in in time, as she pivoted on her heel and pulled the trigger. However, she missed the target as the bullet only scratched his arm and didn’t do too much damage to stop him from attacking her.

When Apple was about to fire her second bullet, she was too late, for the man had grabbed her gun and was pulling it toward himself, about to smack her in the face mercilessly.

Luckily, Apple was flexible enough to dodge the attack and crouched down to deliver a kick to his groin, which made the attacker bend over in pain.

But, when he did that, Apple actually brought her knee to his face and made him scream in agony, covering his face with his palm, as blood was oozing out from his nose.

Apple smiled triumphantly when she saw that and was about to charge forward when that man drew a knife from his waist that forced Apple to take a step back.

Apple once fought someone who wielded a knife while she didn’t have any, but it wasn’t a pleasant experience and if she could, she didn’t want to repeat that experience again.

Not far from her, Apple could see the gun that the man had thrown earlier, on the ground, but the man was also looking in the same direction.

“Don’t be silly, I can kill you right now,” he growled angrily, his other hand still covering his bleeding nose.

“Same here,” Apple replied, showing no fear at all.

But, just at that moment, the man threw the knife he was holding at Apple in an unexpected motion.

Luckily, Apple’s reflexes were good enough that she was able to dodge the attack unharmed, however, the man immediately ran to the gun and grabbed it.

With precision, he pointed the gun at Apple and prepared to pull the trigger.

Apple might be able to dodge a knife thrown at her, but that didn’t mean she could dodge the bullets that were fired at her. She didn’t have that ability.

Therefore, with a stoic face, she braced herself for the worse when she heard gunshots.
