33: Chapter 33: Gun Attack 33: Chapter 33: Gun Attack As a professional shopping guide, remembering every customer is a fundamental job duty, so as to increase returning customers. Especially in these high-end clothing stores, where every successful sale can yield a substantial commission. Last time Ye Shikai and Su Qingyu came here, they bought a suit worth over eighty thousand yuan, so the shopping guide paid special attention to Ye Shikai. Unexpectedly, he came again, but this time not with Su Qingyu, but Luo Shiqi. Su Qingyu is one of the four great beauties of Yanjing, stunning enough to make fishes sink and birds fall, and moon shy and flowers blush. A beauty of her level is, of course, memorable for a shopping guide, so when Luo Shiqi appeared, confusion flashed through her eyes first, then she smiled knowingly at Ye Shikai, her expression seemed to say “I get it”. Ye Shikai felt bashful, as both his trips, accompanying Su Qingyu previously and Luo Shiqi this time, were voluntary. Luo Shiqi wandered around the shop and picked an Armani black trench coat for Ye Shikai, handing it to him, “Here, try it on quick.” Ye Shikai didn’t refuse. Instead of heading to the fitting room, he directly put on the coat over a white shirt underneath, perfectly accentuating his tall and upright figure, and with his strikingly handsome face, he became the center of attention in no time. The girls nearby were ecstatic as if meeting an idol, and the size of the coat was just perfect, making one wonder if Luo Shiqi had an exceptionally keen eye or had done her research beforehand. Taking advantage of the situation while several girls gathered around Ye Shikai asking for his phone number, Luo Shiqi paid for the clothes. Then, amid the envious and jealous looks of the other women, she stepped forward and took Ye Shikai’s arm. The other ladies looked at Luo Shiqi, then at themselves, and lost their temper—for facing Luo Shiqi, they felt like plain janes, a swan dwarfing the presence of ugly ducklings. “You look really good in this coat.” Luo Shiqi nestled her head into Ye Shikai’s chest and gently rubbed against him, appearing demure and dependent, just like a couple deeply in love. Ye Shikai was a bit overwhelmed. After all, he didn’t have much interaction with Luo Shiqi and was still curious why she took a liking to him—could it be because he’s just too handsome... “Let’s go eat,” Luo Shiqi suggested, pointing to a Chinese restaurant ahead, and Ye Shikai didn’t object, silently consenting. After all, he wanted to know why Luo Shiqi was aware of his relationship with Su Qingyu. Upon entering the restaurant, they once again became the center of attention, particularly attracting the gaze of some men who were bewitched by Luo Shiqi’s devilish figure and angelic face. The two of them found a seat and Luo Shiqi, looking at the menu presented by the waiter, grandly ordered a dozen dishes and a bottle of red wine. “We’ve shopped and eaten; now shouldn’t you tell me how you know about Su Qingyu and me?” Ye Shikai’s main concern was always here—should Luo Shiqi spill the beans, it would definitely cause a great stir. “Cut it out, I’m usually very busy and I kindly accompanied you shopping today, yet you’re so impatient,” Luo Shiqi said, her lips curving slightly, showing a hint of grievance. Normally, as the boss of the Underworld, when was anyone ever so bold to talk to her like that? She pulled out her phone, flipped through the album, and tossed the phone to Ye Shikai, “See for yourself.” Ye Shikai browsed through the album, which prominently featured the Lishi District, photos of himself opening the door, and photos of Su Qingyu for comparison. There were also a dozen pictures of himself leaving for work from home in the morning. No wonder Luo Shiqi knew about his marriage to Su Qingyu—anyone who routinely sleeps in the president’s house at night and goes off to work in the morning must be a family member. “So, what do you think? Su Qingyu, that woman, even keeps a gigolo. Never expected Yanjing’s ice queen to have such tastes.” Luo Shiqi’s face wore a sly smile. “You...” Ye Shikai was getting angry, the comment not only called him a pretty boy but also insulted Su Qingyu, which he couldn’t tolerate. “Don’t be mad, I was just joking. I really like you, it has nothing to do with Su Qingyu.” Luo Shiqi lightly sipped the red wine in front of her and said. “Why do you...” “Miss, sir, sorry to interrupt, here are the dishes you ordered.” A waiter suddenly interrupted Ye Shikai mid-sentence, holding a plate in his hand, “Just put it on the table.” Luo Shiqi pointed to an empty spot on the table which was quite crowded due to the number of dishes ordered. Suddenly, Ye Shikai felt a sense of crisis in his heart, as if a wild beast was lying in ambush. This sixth sense, formed from years of living on the edge of death, had helped Ye Shikai escape danger many times before. Noticing the waiter’s unnaturally positioned right hand, Ye Shikai’s brows furrowed, and suddenly his pupils dilated as he shouted, “Be careful.” At the same time, a gun suddenly appeared in the waiter’s right hand and he shot at Luo Shiqi. Ye Shikai forcefully threw himself at Luo Shiqi. Damn, need to be faster, the shooter was quick, obviously a professional assassin. Thankfully, being one of the Main Gods, the Netherworld King, his speed was unimaginable to ordinary people. In an instant, Ye Shikai was in front of Luo Shiqi, and the bullet hit his shoulder. Without minding his wound, Ye Shikai punched the assassin directly in the heart, sending him flying like a kite with its string cut. “Are you alright?” It took a moment for Luo Shiqi to regain her senses, the events had unfolded too quickly – the gunshot, being hit, striking back, all happened almost in an instant. Seeing the gunshot wound on Ye Shikai’s shoulder, she couldn’t care less about anything else and hugged his body tightly, her face filled with anxiety, resembling a little girl who had lost her parents. “I’m fine, let’s hurry and leave.” Ye Shikai activated his Inner Strength, stopping the bleeding from the gunshot wound. It was just an ordinary gunshot wound; to someone with Inner Strength, such a wound would heal in a couple of days. Saying this, Ye Shikai grabbed Luo Shiqi’s hand and ran towards the entrance along with the panicked crowd. Not good, there are more assassins. Unlike the crowd that was moving towards the entrance, Ye Shikai saw a few people disguised as pedestrians moving against the crowd towards him and Luo Shiqi; clearly, there was more than one assassin. Ye Shikai directly princess-carried Luo Shiqi and ran towards the restroom. Since Luo Shiqi was with him, he dared not make too large movements, fearing he might accidentally hurt her. Although it was unclear whether the assassins were targeting him or Luo Shiqi, the fact that they opened fire in a crowded commercial area showed their determination to achieve their objective at all costs. Seeing their cover blown, the assassins pulled out the guns from their pockets and shot at Ye Shikai, who, driven by his Inner Strength, moved with a speed that left afterimages. Arriving at the women’s restroom door, Ye Shikai set Luo Shiqi down and said, “Hide inside, no matter what happens, do not come out.” “No.” Luo Shiqi screamed, clinging tightly to Ye Shikai’s arm, “Wherever you are, I’ll be there.” A resolute expression crossed her face.
