Chapter 2053: Close

Job, who thought he had been insulted, was breathing a lot louder. The sound was particularly clear in the tense and silent night.

‘Good. Just continue to breathe this heavily.’

The corners of Xia Jinyuan’s lips curled up as he narrowed his eyes. The cold light in the depths of his dark pupils was like the glint of a blade, filled with sharpness.

“You have the guts to shoot me now, huh, Mr. Job? I’ve never seen this side of you before.” Xia Jinyuan seemed calm in the face of a gun aimed at his forehead. He was so calm that the sarcasm in his voice deepened. “Your guts are limited to just pointing a gun at me, a Chinese who looks down on you.

“As for the rest, with all due respect to Mr. Job, you really are as timid as a mouse.”

The thick mockery made the muscles on Job’s face tremble with anger. His anger burned to the point where his heart ached, but he did not dare to shout because the dark figure that frightened him was too close!

However, he could not accept being mocked by a Chinese who looked down on him!

Had to give him a warning! Damn this Chinese!

“You have successfully angered me, Chinese! I won’t forgive you even if you kneel and apologize to me now!”

His finger slowly squeezed the trigger. The sneer in Job’s eyes was filled with deep malice. “If we don’t escape tonight, I’ll execute you myself! I’ll send you to go see God!”

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, Job felt his vision blur. Then, a sharp pain shot through his wrist. If he hadn’t been biting his lip, he would have screamed.

“Send me to see God? Are you sure you’re capable of sending me to see God?” With his index finger hooked around the pistol, Xia Jinyuan swung the gun in a suave manner. With a faint smile, he said softly, “Mr. Job, the person who’s out to kill you has already discovered your presence.”

The bone-chilling voice floated softly and into the wind, making Job, whose wrist hurt so much that he could only gasp and shudder violently.

A fear he had never felt before rose from the depths of his heart and rushed uncontrollably to his limbs. The trembling Job met a pair of eyes as fierce and cold as those of a beast. There was a light in his eyes. It felt as if something terrifying would come out of the man’s eyes and swallow him whole.

Job was afraid. He was cowardly. He slowly raised his hands to the back of his head. He could only talk with his actions. He was already too frightened to say a word.

But he was indignant, even if he was afraid!

He was unwilling to be threatened by this Chinese man!

‘Just you wait, damn you!’

Under the faint starlight, Ye Jian, who was searching, heard movement. She heard someone whispering. The man was angry as if he was arguing with someone.

She didn’t go any farther. She stopped and knew she couldn’t go any farther in this direction. Someone was lying in wait.

The light in the forest was quite dim. If it weren’t for the faint light from the stars, the entire island would have been pitch-black. Ye Jian, who didn’t move forward, quietly hid between two rocks.

This was a blind spot. Even if they were lying in ambush than five meters away, it was impossible to shoot accurately. They would only hit the thick rocks with their bullets.

Heavy breathing could be heard. Ye Jian pursed her lips.

Was it one person? Or two?

‘Are they arguing over the phone?

‘It doesn’t seem like it.’

She didn’t see the light radiating from the screen of a phone.

It had to be two of them! It was just that one of them was holding his temper.

Xia Jinyuan, who was listening carefully, raised his eyebrows with interest. That person could hear Job’s voice even though they were at least five meters away.
