Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Shot! Don’t Die, You Worthless Father

Ning Yichu’s breath hitched—someone had spent a fortune, intent on taking their lives!

Judging by their physiques and the skilled manner in which they held their guns...

They must be mercenaries, killers without a shred of humanity!

"All of you, get down here right now, or I’ll shoot this instant," the leader of the mercenaries ordered curtly.

Ning Yichu had no choice but to place the children on the ground and raise her hands, attempting to negotiate, "You’re here to kill, but you’re doing it for money, aren’t you? As long as you spare me, whatever sum you name, I’ll pay it!"

The atmosphere at the scene was tense, teetering on the edge of eruption.

"Sorry, street rules. Accept one payment, complete one job!"

The man remained implacable, extracting a photo from his jacket and carefully comparing it to their faces. Click—he had to admit, the real-life targets were even more striking than in the photo.

Upon confirming his targets, the man lifted his black machine gun, murderous intent radiating.

"Now... I’ll send you straight to heaven!"

Ning Yichu felt suffocated. Faced with live ammunition, even her teeth were trembling as her brain raced. What to do? What could she do?

She could die, but the children had to be safe...

If she rushed forward now, could she knock the gun away from the man’s grasp?

The very next instant, Ning Yichu watched in horror as the man slowly pulled the trigger...

Bang!

Just as she was debating whether to risk it all, a sharp gunshot cut through the air.

The man sensed danger immediately, tilting his body aside, only to see a bullet strike true, embedding itself precisely in the forehead of his subordinate next to him!

The subordinate didn’t even have the chance to process what had happened, meeting his end with wide, bewildered eyes.

Li Lingyang’s expression was cold. His silver handgun still emitted traces of black smoke as he sprinted toward them decisively.

Mo Baiyou, letting go of all grudges for the moment, hurriedly mobilized reinforcements, secretly encircling the entire parking lot.

The remaining mercenaries quickly realized the situation...

"Boss, Old Three is dead, and now we’re surrounded. What’s our next move?!"

"We carry out the mission first! Otherwise, we’ll face death either way when we return."

The leader’s gaze turned ruthless. Their orders had been clear—their primary target this time was the young boy named Chen Bao.

"Suppress those bodyguards. I’ll handle the target myself."

"Understood."

The remaining mercenaries raised their guns and unleashed a barrage of bullets toward Li Lingyang and Mo Baiyou.

Gunfire echoed incessantly—bang, bang, bang—shattering windows and setting off prolonged blaring alarms that reverberated through the parking lot.

The mercenaries’ firepower was overwhelming. Li Lingyang’s face darkened as his mind raced in urgency.

Chu Chu and the children were still trapped in danger—at any moment, the mercenaries could exploit an opening and fire. This had to end before it continued to spiral!

Li Lingyang’s dark eyes hardened, a resolute determination dawning on him. His hand tightened around his weapon as he crouched and moved swiftly between gaps in the vehicles...

Special Assistant Xu’s eyes widened in horror.

"President Li! It’s too dangerous!!"

Mo Baiyou led his team around, stunned by the mercenaries’ relentless firepower!

Already, several bodyguards had been shot and fallen, the thick stench of blood in the air making one nauseous.

But then, his gaze shifted, spotting Li Lingyang approaching stealthily. His intentions were clear...

As long as Chu Chu and the children remained unharmed, he wouldn’t mind collaborating with Li Lingyang to lend him a hand!

Mo Baiyou issued an order sharply, "Suppress their firepower with everything you’ve got!"

"Yes, Mr. Mo!!"

Upon hearing the command, the bodyguards took position, raising their guns and engaging in an all-out firefight against the enemy.

A fierce battle broke out on both sides, the conflict escalating wildly.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the leader, now wearing a balaclava, picked up his machine gun once again and aimed directly at Chen Bao’s small head, his eyes filled with a chilling malice. "Die."

As he finished speaking, the bullet whizzed through the air, flying straight toward its intended target—

For a moment, the surrounding air seemed frozen. Ning Yichu’s pupils dilated sharply, her heart leaping into her throat. Almost instinctively, her leg moved, as if she wanted to shield Chen Bao with her own body.

But before she could act, a flash of black entered her field of view suddenly.

A man dove in, rolling with Chen Bao on the ground twice, successfully avoiding the bullet by a hair’s breadth.

The one who saved Chen Bao was... Li Lingyang!!

Ning Yichu’s face was etched with incredulity.

Chen Bao peeked his head out from Li Lingyang’s arms, stunned. "Scumbag dad..."

Li Lingyang held the little boy tightly against him with one arm, his deep, commanding voice resonating, "Don’t be afraid. I’m here—I won’t let anything happen to you, your mommy, or your sister."

Chen Bao, still just a child, felt his heart steady slightly upon hearing this.

Seeing his initial shot had failed to kill Chen Bao, the leader’s fury boiled over. He lifted his gun again, spraying bullets relentlessly in their direction.

Li Lingyang scooped up Chen Bao and dodged quickly.

The mercenaries’ ammunition began running low, while Mo Baiyou’s reinforcements pressed closer—

Realizing the worsening odds, the leader hatched a vicious idea.

His gaze darkened, abruptly swiveling his gun toward Ning Yichu!

Li Lingyang’s heart skipped in alarm, his pupils contracting in worry. He hastily instructed Chen Bao and was about to dash in her direction.

But the leader’s move was merely a diversion; his true target remained Chen Bao!

Just as Li Lingyang stepped forward, the man pressed down decisively on the trigger, sending another bullet speeding toward Chen Bao.

"Chen Bao—!"

Ning Yichu hugged Ningning tightly. Seeing the scene unfold before her very eyes, her soul nearly evaporated, her face drained of all color.

Not far away, Mo Baiyou panicked as well.

He rushed forward urgently.

Extreme fear often renders people incapable of reacting.

Chen Bao was no exception. He wanted to dodge, to run, but his legs seemed rooted in place, unable to budge.

Wide-eyed, he could only watch helplessly as the bullet closed in on him.

At the narrowest of margins, Li Lingyang doubled back swiftly, tackling his son to the ground and shielding him once more.

The bullet struck Li Lingyang squarely in the back. He grunted, collapsing heavily to the ground, his face pale and drawn, brows furrowed in agonizing tightness.

"Scumbag dad!"

Chen Bao stared at the man lying prostrate before him, panic written all over his young face.

Ning Yichu was equally stunned. Li Lingyang, for Chen Bao’s sake, had actually...

An unexplainable torrent of emotion surged within her, morphing into a mass of pain that flooded her heart incessantly.

Fueled by rage, the leader unleashed a volley of bullets once more at the downed Li Lingyang, his tone venomous with disdain. "You love saving people, huh? Then go ahead and save to your heart’s content..."

The fresh round of gunfire left Li Lingyang grievously injured, pushing the scene into total chaos.

Special Assistant Xu and the bodyguards, seeing their boss in such dire straits, became utterly feral, teaming up with Mo Baiyou’s forces to launch a relentless attack.

Soon, the mercenaries lost their ability to resist and were fully subdued.

"Li Lingyang..."

Ning Yichu’s emotions spiraled out of control—her panic was palpable, her terror magnified as she zeroed in on his increasingly pallid face. The anguish in her heart surged with ferocity, as though something vital was on the verge of being wrenched away, forever lost.

Her feet propelled her forward uncontrollably, running to Li Lingyang’s side.
