The CEO's Woman

Two minutes before, outside the palace...

Fu Jin was looking at the wounded Bai'Li and Alex in front of him. His gaze was dark and cold.

"Young Master, there were a total of twenty men. They were all experts. I think they are from the Li Family. However, I did not find any proof of that." Bei Ye respectfully said.

"How many have died?" He asked. .

"There are a total of two deaths on our side and fifteen wounded, including Mr. Bai'Li and Mr. Alex." Bei Ye answered. "We have captured four people from their side and killed thirteen. Some of them were able to escape. Our men are in pursuit now."

Fu Jin did not answer Bei Ye as he walked out of the now ruined room.

"Young Master … Your wound… where are you going?"

"Bring me the tablet. I'm going to the palace."

"Young Master… your wound is bleeding… I…" Bei Ye hesitated. "Going to the palace now will simply be suicide! They are on high alert! With all due respect, Young Master…" Bei Ye haltered his words when he met Fu Jin's cold eyes.

"Tablet! Now!" Fu Jin ordered sternly before shoving Bei Ye out of his way.

Bei Ye could only helplessly follow Fu Jin's order before running after him. His face was full of worry. Couldn't his Young Master, at least, let the doctor finish treating his wound? It was a bullet wound for goodness sake. A bullet! He even was very pale! How could he rush to the palace at that point?

Bei Ye made sure to grab a jacket for Fu Jin to wear. It would, at least, cover his bloodied shirt. Going to the palace was a very wrong decision in his opinion. Bei Ye was almost sure that the security of the palace would immediately surround them once they see Fu Jin's bloodied state. However, no matter how much worried Bei Ye felt inside, he could only follow Fu Jin's orders. After all, he also understood that Fu Jin was doing this for the Young Miss.

Bei Ye then remembered how Fu Jin was able to figure out that someone would also attack them when he heard Gideon's words. His young master's quick-thinking saved everyone as he immediately ordered them to vacate the place their team was. However, they were still not fast enough, which caused some injuries and death on their side.

However, the enemy did not expect Fu Jin's reinforcement to arrive so fast and that made them lose focus and eventually caused their defeat.

Both Fu Jin and Bei Ye then got into an armored car and the latter immediately drove his Young Master to the palace.

"Sir, I'm afraid we can't let you pass. We are on high-security alert at this moment. Please, drive back." Military personnel stopped them the moment they arrived near the palace gates.

Fu Jin immediately showed his ID to the soldier and told him to get Secretary Jia and tell him that he knew something about the terrorists.

After a few minutes, Secretary Jia asked Fu Jin to come inside for a talk. That was because Secretary Jia was not aware of the current events happening inside the bunker. He was just busy taking care of the aftermath of the attack.

"Mr. Fu... You don't look too well." Secretary Jia blurted out the moment he noticed Fu Jin's state. "Is there a problem?" He furrowed his brows as he examined Fu Jin's clothing.

"Go to the bunker. Jiang Yue is in danger," he said before showing the recording from the tablet. Fu Jin was sure that Secretary Jia did not know anything about Li Family's plans. After all, his position was not high enough for the Li family to inform him about their plans. He was just someone working for the King and providing his service to the people.

"Where did you get this?" Secretary Jia asked as his face instantly turned dark. The video that he was watching was when Li Qiang revealed himself inside the bunker. Secretary Jia's expression then changed as he remembered something important. "What shall we do now? Only the King can open the bunker from the outside!"

......….

Inside the bunker…

Wang Ruo and Jiang Yue were throwing some punches against Simon, while Li Qiang was the one fighting with Gideon.

"Fool! Why are you still defending that woman!? You are a Li! You must come back to the Li Family!" Gideon shouted in between defending against Li Qiang's fists. Li Qiang was someone who continued working in the underworld after leaving the military. Because of that, his skills were still something that couldn't be underestimated.

Li Qiang only scoffed at Gideon's words before throwing another kick, hitting Gideon's stomach. Seeing him stumble backward, Li Qiang made a roundhouse kick, sending him tumbling away from him.

He might be wounded, but his training and years of practice were something Li Qiang was very proud of. Seeing how Gideon tried to stand up but failed, Li Qiang walked towards the gun on the floor.

"Qiang, behind you!"

"Bang"

"Bang"
