Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 894: Chapter 895: Shot

Listening to the wind to determine the position, the bullet headed straight for Qi Taiguo’s heart, and almost instantly, he turned and dodged at incredible speed.

Poof!

The sound of the bullet entering flesh was clear to Qi Taiguo; he dodged behind a tree and turned his head slightly to look back.

The direction the bullet came from, and the speed, was definitely not from those smuggler hands, and he remembered clearly, that was where Cai Zhengyan was lurking.

”Bastard!”

Qi Taiguo’s face was ashen as he saw blood seeping from his shoulder armor; he immediately pulled a tourniquet from his pocket and quickly tied it tightly.

He was angry, not because Cai Zhengyan wanted him dead, but because in this situation, he didn’t prioritize and still thought to take advantage of the chaos to deal with him first.

Asshole!

Didn’t he know that sometimes, such battles can be wrecked by a small self-interest, leading to a complete defeat?

From being shot to bandaging, it only took Qi Taiguo less than two minutes. He knew Cai Zhengyan missed his chance this time; he wouldn’t get another chance to shoot, and Qi Taiguo wouldn’t give him the opportunity!

Not far away, gunfire was still sounding. Following the battle plan, Qi Taiguo turned and slipped into the jungle, continuing the pursuit.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Fulang Team had already engaged in the battle.

Orders were given one by one, and the confrontation happened repeatedly. As people fell, the mission reached a fever pitch.

Qi Taiguo took down two traffickers in succession and continued tracking into the dense mountains, entering a maze-like area. These smugglers weren’t fools; they were prepared for smuggling and knew the retreat points well. They were familiar with the terrain, so they quickly disappeared.

But at the same time, they had weaknesses; even when exposed, they wouldn’t let the hostages go, and taking someone with them, how far could they get?

So, Qi Taiguo quickly caught up with the smuggler carrying a pregnant woman.

The pregnant woman’s face was ghastly pale, being dragged by someone with a gun pointed at her head, crying and begging, ”Save me, don’t kill me, sob sob.”

Qi Taiguo also pointed his gun at the smuggler.

The smuggler babbled something unintelligible, probably telling Qi Taiguo to drop his weapon.

The pregnant woman kept crying.

Qi Taiguo hesitated upon seeing the bulging belly, recalling his own unborn child with Cheng Su.

Through the hidden earpiece, he heard the commander’s voice saying the southern ambush succeeded, the northern interception succeeded...

This was their encirclement; the eastern side was now the only escape point. They couldn’t let them get away.

”Drop your gun, you can’t escape anymore; we’ve already surrounded the withdrawal point,” Qi Taiguo purposely said, not for the smuggler, but for his comrades.

He held the gun, feeling a faint pain in the shoulder armor above his right arm where he was just shot.

As expected, he heard in his earpiece the command’s notice of support arriving for him.

Qi Taiguo moved step by step closer with his gun raised.

The smuggler saw Qi Taiguo not listening and shouted louder, first raising the gun toward Qi Taiguo, then at the pregnant woman’s head, and pulled the trigger, making her cry loudly in fear.

Qi Taiguo immediately raised his gun, said ”Ok” twice, and then tossed the gun at his feet, thinking about why support hadn’t arrived yet.

The smuggler, seeing him drop the gun, gave a sinister smile, dragged the pregnant woman two steps closer, and raised the gun again at Qi Taiguo.

Swoosh.

Qi Taiguo leaped, twisting in mid-air like a gymnast, swiftly drawing a dagger from his back and aiming it at the man’s leg.
