The distant view showed misty clouds rising from the mountainside, creating a picturesque, fairy-tale scene.
However, this rain only further unsettled Meng Jingwei's heart.
She had never felt so agitated and worried as she did at this moment.
Bang, bang, bang—
Suddenly, gunfire erupted from the foot of the mountain, the sound echoing and reverberating through the ravine.
The bodyguards stationed outside the villa immediately became alert. In that instant, they adopted defensive stances, and some even rushed down the mountain to investigate the situation.
"Miss Meng, we have incoming threats."
Daisy Tini pushed open the bedroom door and quickly entered, saying, "You must immediately follow me to the back of the mountain to take cover. Teacher said there's a hidden cave behind the mountain that guarantees absolute safety."
Meng Jingwei clenched the hand hanging by her side, suddenly feeling that her years of training had been in vain; at this moment, it was useless.
"Give me a gun."
She turned back and said to Daisy Tini.
"Here, put on the raincoat first."
It was pouring outside, and he was worried that Meng Jingwei might catch a cold, affecting the baby in her womb.
Meng Jingwei didn't stand on ceremony. She took the raincoat and quickly put it on. Then, she took the gun and bullets from Daisy Tini, and they went downstairs together.
Heading towards the back of the mountain.
The cave's location was hidden, and the two could only pass through thorny bushes, so their progress was very slow.
Behind them, the gunfire continued, the sound echoing through the valley, stirring their hearts.
Birds on the trees were startled awake, flapping their wings and taking flight, leaving the dangerous area.
A bodyguard led the way in front, with Daisy Tini behind Meng Jingwei, and eight bodyguards escorting them.
After walking for an unknown time, the gunshots grew closer, and it seemed another group had also ascended from the rear of the mountain.
Bang—
A sudden shot flew out, directly hitting the bodyguard in front of Meng Jingwei. The bodyguard fell with a cry.
"Be careful!"
Daisy Tini shouted, pulling Meng Jingwei down to crouch.
Dozens of assassins appeared around them.
No, to be precise, they were mercenaries in camouflage uniforms, moving nimbly through the dense forest and firing wildly in their direction.
"You go that way, I'll draw them away."
Daisy Tini pointed towards the location of the cave at the back of the mountain, then led four bodyguards to the north, firing a few shots.
"Quick, that way, pursue them."
"Chase after them!"
"Hurry up."
…
The gunfire drew the mercenaries' attention, and they all ran towards the north.
Meng Jingwei was wearing a camouflage-colored raincoat and was difficult to spot hiding in the thorny bushes.
After the gunshots gradually faded, she stood up and left with a few bodyguards.
As she ran, she clutched her abdomen, truly feeling that the timing of her child's arrival was not ideal.
Otherwise, she wouldn't need these people to protect her and would have more strength to reinforce Qing Muye.
The heavy rain, which had come fiercely, also left quickly.
The rain stopped, but the sky… had darkened.
"Miss Meng, we've been waiting for you for a long time."
As she was quickly making her way through the dense forest, suddenly, several figures appeared before her as if descending from the sky.
Meng Jingwei's steps halted, and she looked intently at the person in front of her, "Antina?"
Antina's golden hair was tied high in a braid, and she was wearing a gray tank top, loose camouflage pants, and black boots.
The tank top perfectly showcased her voluptuous curves. A pistol was holstered at her waist, and in her right hand, she held a Desert Eagle, her cold eyes fixed on Meng Jingwei.
"We've known each other for a while. On such a joyous occasion, it's really difficult for me to wish you 'Happy Wedding'."
She said mockingly.
"Madam, please be careful."
The bodyguard, concerned for Meng Jingwei's safety, stepped forward and shielded her.
Meng Jingwei's pale lips curved slightly. She pushed the bodyguard aside and said to Antina, "Miss's Mandarin has improved a lot. You've truly impressed me."
