"Hey, someone's going to kill you, hide quickly!" As soon as the gunshot rang out, Xia Tian told Wei Xiaotong. With his capability, he instantly determined that the target of the assassination was Wei Xiaotong.

However, despite knowing that the other party wanted to kill Wei Xiaotong, Xia Tian had no intention of saving her. In his view, whether she lived or died had nothing to do with him; it was already good enough for him to remind her once.

"Third young master be careful!" Xu Gang and Xu Qiang also reacted almost simultaneously. Xu Gang shouted as he rushed towards Xu Jiasheng while Xu Qiang charged towards Wei Xiaotong, intending to shield her from danger. They were both drivers and bodyguards; at such critical moments, they directly served as human shields.

Unfortunately, this era wasn't one where you could just be a shield if you wanted to be. Even if you were willing to die for someone else, the other party might not give you that chance. Take Xu Qiang for example; he was prepared to take bullets for Wei Xiaotong but his speed simply couldn't match the bullet's velocity. Before he managed to position himself in front of her, the bullet had already hit Wei Xiaotong's chest.

Wei Xiaotong stood there without moving an inch, her face full of shock and fear, completely petrified. Clearly, Xia Tian's warning hadn't been effective at all.

"No..." Xu Jiasheng screamed out in anguish, the grief and anger evident on his face were genuine; he wasn't pretending. One had to understand how critical Wei Xiaotong was to him right now. She wasn't merely his woman anymore; the child she carried was worth billions of Hong Kong dollars!

Although Xu Qingshan is not among Hong Kong's top ten billionaires, he is known as an "invisible billionaire," with at least several billion HKD in assets. This means that the child in Wei Xiaotong’s womb is worth at least half a billion HKD. However, since the pregnancy is only five months along, if Wei Xiaotong were to be shot now, she and her baby would likely both die. For Xu Jiasheng, this would mean losing half a billion HKD.

There's no doubt that if this bullet truly pierced Wei Xiaotong’s chest, its value would far exceed that of a diamond bullet—it would become an incredibly expensive bullet, one worth half a billion HKD!

However, just as the ordinary bullet was about to make intimate contact with Wei Xiaotong's delicate chest and transform into a diamond bullet, a more delicate hand suddenly grabbed her arm. In this critical moment, she felt immense force pulling her away.

The intense pain she expected did not come; when Wei Xiaotong regained her senses and subconsciously looked at her chest, there was no sign of blood. Then, without thinking, she glanced around and realized who had saved her life—it was Ning Jie, whom she had just met.

"Ning Jie, thank you..." Despite still being shaken from the incident, Wei Xiaotong didn't forget to thank Ning Jie. However, as soon as she started speaking, she noticed that Ning Jie had disappeared from her sight.

“Ouch!” A cry of pain suddenly reached Wei Xiaotong’s ears. She instinctively looked in the direction of the sound and was taken aback—where had Ning Jie gone

Momentarily, Ning Jie appeared before the assassin who dropped his gun and fell to the ground. There's no doubt that this was also Ning Jie's doing.

"Xiaotong, Xiaotong, get in the car quickly!" Xu Jiasheng had reacted and was now saying this urgently.

"Miss Wei, please get in the car. There might still be assassins hiding around," Xu Gang also hurriedly said.

Seeing these two people so panicked, Xia Tian was a bit unhappy: "What are you worried about The assassin is just one person and has already been caught by my wife."

"Jiasheng, I'm fine. Ning Jie saved me," Wei Xiaotong calmed down first instead. "Since Dr. Xia says there are no more assassins, we don't need to worry."

Although Wei Xiaotong was a supermodel by origin, she was actually quite an intelligent woman. Xu Jiasheng had dated many women in the past, but Wei Xiaotong was his only official girlfriend; this wasn’t because Wei Xiaotong was the most beautiful among them, but rather that she was the smartest and not just a pretty face.

Thinking back to everything that happened after meeting Xia Tian and Ning Jie in the morning until now, Wei Xiaotong quickly concluded that this Dr. Xia wasn’t merely skilled at medicine; he actually had exceptional abilities. In fact, when she was followed by the car after Xia Tian asked her for a loquat candy in the morning, Wei Xiaotong already started to feel suspicious, and just now when Xia Tian managed to discover someone wanted to kill her in advance made her feel even more out of the ordinary. When Ning Jie not only saved her life but also suddenly appeared beside the assassin and dealt with him, it confirmed to Wei Xiaotong that Xia Tian was more than a divine doctor and that Ning Jie wasn’t merely a fashion designer; they both had extraordinary abilities.

Because of this, although Wei Xiaotong still felt a bit worried, she decided to take a chance and not get into the car for now. She thought that doing so might make Xia Tian and Ning Jie unhappy since they saved her life, yet she immediately hid herself without considering Ning Jie who was still outside.

On the other hand, Wei Xiaotong began to realize that her current safety was a major concern. The security provided by the Xu family seemed insufficient to protect her, and she might need help from others. In her view, if Xia Tian and Ning Jie were willing to assist her, her level of safety would greatly increase. Just this scene alone proved their capability.

The shadow flickered again, and Ning Jie returned with the assassin, holding him by one hand and a pistol in the other.

"Who hired you" Ning Jie threw the assassin to the ground and asked coldly.

In fact, Ning Jie was not someone who liked to meddle in others' affairs, but she and Wei Xiaotong were now familiar with each other. More importantly, she found it unacceptable for anyone to harm a pregnant woman.

The assassin had dropped his sunglasses on the ground, revealing a rather handsome face. He didn't look old, under thirty years of age. However, at this moment, his handsome face was contorted in pain due to Ning Jie's severe actions; she had twisted his right hand and broken his leg with a kick, leaving him as a half-disabled man within mere moments.

The assassin first glanced at Ning Jie, filled with resentment and confusion. Clearly, he could not comprehend how this woman was so powerful. But in the next second, his gaze shifted to Xia Tian, and upon seeing him, his expression dramatically changed; the confusion turned into sheer terror.

"Y-you are Xia Tian" The assassin's voice quivered involuntarily.

Fear appeared in the man's eyes, clearly showing fear. This made Xu Jiasheng and Wei Xiaotong nearby momentarily stunned. Such a ruthless killer actually became fearful after recognizing Xia Tian

Ning Jie was also speechless. It seemed that her husband really had quite a reputation for being ferocious; now even killers seemed to be afraid of him. Or, could this killer be from the Shadow Group If so, wouldn’t he be on their side

"That's right, I am Xia Tian. Who are you, you idiot" Xia Tian glared at the hitman with some displeasure. "Don't tell me that you're part of the Shadow Group."

"I... I'm..." The hitman seemed hesitant.

"Hey, fool, don’t try to deceive me! If you dare lie to me, I'll kill you right now!" Xia Tian glared at the hitman and said sternly.

"Xia Tian, I... I'm not from the Shadow Group. I just took this job for money. Previously, I really didn't know that my target was related to you. If I had known, there’s no way I would have accepted this mission." The hitman endured the pain and finally said with difficulty, "Please, please spare me!"

Xu Gang, Xu Qiang, and others were somewhat exasperated; this killer was actually so frightened that he started begging for mercy here

"Doctor Xia, you can't let him go..." Xu Jia盛 hurriedly said.

Summer shot Xu Jia盛 a glance and said, "Whether or not to let him go is my decision, what's it got to do with you"

Xu Jia盛 was slightly depressed but didn't dare say anything else. He wasn't stupid; by now he understood that Xia Tian was someone not to be trifled with. Not only did this guy excel in his medical skills, but he also had a wife who was an exceptionally skilled martial artist. Even assassins were scared of him and begged for mercy upon seeing him. Such people were better left alone, or else they wouldn't even know how they died.

“You attacked a pregnant woman without any sense of morality; now you want us to spare your life” Ning Jie snorted coldly. "Even if you choose to be an assassin, there must be some principles you follow, right Killing a pregnant woman is beyond the limits even for killers like you. Do you think it's worthwhile to live"

“I truly didn't know she was pregnant! In all previous photos I saw of her, she wasn’t pregnant; I only just received information that she would be here and waited outside to make my move. Before firing the gun, I really hadn’t noticed…” The assassin hurriedly explained himself. At this moment, in order to save his life, he could only hope Ning Jie believed him.

“Oh, from your expression, you don't seem to be lying; I believe you,” Xia Tian said at this time.

Hearing these words, the assassin was overjoyed and thought that Xia Tian would spare his life. However, Xia Tian then added: “But whether or not you killed a pregnant woman has nothing to do with me now. My wife is currently unhappy, so I think it's better for me to kill you. Whether you live or die doesn't concern me anyway, but in order to make my wife happy, I've decided to let you die.”ed Mu Han, a renowned beauty from Beijing, and now wanted to add Meier to his collection This man was being too greedy; he would be struck by lightning!"Meier is my wife.
