Chapter 1166 - Safe and sound

The atmosphere in the room became tense. Gong Yuning sat on the sofa with indecision. She checked the time with her phone. Ten minutes had passed since the bodyguard called. Now, they were tracking down the killer's whereabouts.

Since Gong Yuning was a bit nervous, she couldn't help but stand up, and planned to take a breather on the balcony. When He Lingchu, who was standing by the side of the door saw her, he immediately stopped her, "Don't go to the balcony."

The strings in Gong Yuning's heart trembled, and he quickly stopped his steps. He Lingchu looked at her pale face and faintly smiled, "Aren't you being a little too nervous?"

Gong Yuning blinked his eyes. He Lingchu walked over, held her hands, and stared at her with his profound eyes, silently transmitting his power to her. She had never felt such anxiety in her life before.

"Don't worry. With me here, I won't let him hurt you." he said in a low, determined voice.

She swallowed her saliva and blurted out a question, "He Lingchu, why are you protecting me like this?"

He Lingchu did not avert his gaze, and only smiled, "Probably because you need someone to protect you."

Gong Yuning came back to his senses in a second. This man, if he said he liked her, wouldn't he be alright? Or did he not like her at all? You just think she needs protection too much?

Just then, there was a knock on Gong Yuning's door. He Lingchu looked at her and said, "Go back to your room."

historical

"What about you?"

"I'll go to the door and take a look." He Lingchu said.

Gong Yuning hesitated, as though he was worried about him. He Lingchu firmly held her hand and walked to the room's door, pushed her in, and closed the door, then walked to the door and quickly took a look through the peephole. Outside the door was A-Duan, the bodyguard.

He stretched out his hand and pulled open the door, allowing the A-Duan to quickly walk in, "Mr. Hoh, we were completely unable to find the killer's tracks, the cruise ship is too big, our manpower is limited. Right now, I will gather the other people and guard the room to protect Miss from leaving the ship safely."

He Lingchu naturally knew that at this time, if he went out to find the killer, the possibility was too low. If he wanted to hide, he could just hide in any corner and let them disappear.

He Lingchu knocked on the door, pushed it open and entered, only to see Gong Yuning sitting on the edge of the bed, her entire person looking tense and at ease, this caused He Lingchu's heart to ache, making her suffer such a fear, as though it was his fault.

"How is it?"

"A-Duan, gather some people to protect you in the room."

Gong Yuning nodded, and right at this moment, a disturbance seemed to have occurred outside the door, following that, a knock on the door sounded. A-Duan, seeing that it was his three subordinates, immediately opened it, and at that moment, he saw that behind his three subordinates, a police officer had quickly rushed over.

"What's going on?" A-Duan asked.

"Boss, something happened in the room next door. Just now, the police just filmed a fugitive escaping into the sea. His accomplices rescued him."

"Did you see the fugitive's face clearly?"

"It's the man we're looking for. His target doesn't seem to be Miss, but a man beside her."

He Lingchu and Gong Yuning happened to hear the subordinate's words as they walked out.

"Are you sure?" He Lingchu frowned and asked.

The bodyguard nodded, A-Duan opened the door and heard He Lingchu's room. The door was opened, and there was a police officer handling the situation inside, He Lingchu said to A-Duan, "Take care of your young miss, I will go take a look."

Watching He Lingchu leave, Gong Yuning could not help but hear the bodyguards who had just returned from watching the scene whisper, "The murderer shot eight times, looks like they were looking for revenge. It was a very serious scene."

After the bodyguard finished speaking, he glanced at Gong Yuning, who was also eavesdropping, and immediately stopped, not wanting to scare her. Gong Yuning only heard the words' eight shots', and immediately felt a chill down his spine.

Furthermore, right next door, was the room that He Lingchu lived in previously.

He Lingchu returned after half an hour. He understood everything and confirmed that the killer he met was not aimed at Gong Yuning, but rather the big boss who owed him a huge debt and escaped with his life.

It seemed like this was a premeditated assassination attempt. Fortunately, the target was not Gong Yuning.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. A-Duan led his men out first, and after understanding this matter more deeply, in the room, Gong Yuning's beautiful face still turned white. Even her hands were trembling slightly, because the murder case was right next door to her.

"Don't worry, the police have already dealt with it." He Lingchu consoled her, passing her a cup of water, "Drink a mouthful."

"You saw the scene?" Gong Yuning held the water and asked while taking a deep breath.

He Lingchu nodded his head, he had just went in to take a look, and the dead body had already been taken away, but it was still being handled in the room.

Gong Yuning saw that he was calm and composed, as if there was not even the slightest trace of fear in his expression. She really admired his inner qualities. Even when he looked at the scene, nothing happened, and just listening, she felt goosebumps all over her body.

"Aren't you afraid?" Gong Yuning asked curiously.

"What's there to be afraid of!" He Lingchu asked with a calm smile.

"I'm so scared." Gong Yuning couldn't help but wrap her arms around herself. She really didn't have much guts. Especially with such a bloody incident, she would have nightmares for a few days.

He Lingchu could tell that she was truly afraid, and he could not help but get up and sit by her side. He looked at her and said, "Don't be afraid, I will stay here to accompany you."

She held onto her cup and drank some water to calm herself down. Just then, the door was knocked, He Lingchu opened the door, and An Delu walked in.

It was only then that An Delu found out, that when he was walking downstairs, he heard that something had happened on the sixth floor, and he came back after understanding things a few more times.

He looked at Gong Yuning who was sitting on the sofa and curled up, "Do you all know? Something happened next door. "

After he finished speaking, An Delu was also a little shocked, "That's too crazy, to actually dare commit such an open and honorable crime."

"The one who dies is a scammer, there must be a reason for this sort of thing." He Lingchu said coldly.

An Delu looked at the frightened Gong Yuning, and could not help but comfort her, "Yuning, don't be afraid, we'll be off the boat in two days."

"En!" Gong Yuning nodded.

An Delu chatted for a while before she left. Gong Yuning did not even dare to step out of the door, only, her mind was filled with some terrifying images. Other than the sofa, she did not want to leave.
