1758 Blocked The Gunshot
Huo Yao walked back calmly.
She took out her phone from her bag. As expected, she did not have any signal.
Very well. All these moves were targeted at her.
Huo Yao pursed her lips without being anxious at all. Her dress was wet and sticky, so she reached her hand out to take some tissue from the side and wiped it nonchalantly.

In comparison to the quietness in the room, a commotion had broken out downstairs.
Inside the side hall, Morey was talking to Min Yu about weapons. A bullet suddenly fired from nowhere, coming through the glass window. It went past Morey going straight for Min Yu. It was a kill shot.
Everything happened suddenly. Morey promptly detected the bullet. His face turned dark and almost instinctively extended his hand to push Min Yu aside.
“Watch out!”
Since Morey had pushed Min Yu aside, the bullet came straight for him unavoidably. In an instant, he coughed blood and fell to the ground.
Min Yu avoided the gunfire range. He frowned, raising his head to glance in the direction of the gunshot.
A small hole was left in the window. Judging from the direction of the gunshot, it probably came from the mountain behind the estate.
Considering the gunshot angle, if he did not avoid it in time, he would have died an instantaneous death.
It was clear that Min Yu was the target.
Min Yu hurriedly veered his eyes to look at Morey quizzically. He had taken the shot for him.
At this moment, the side hall door swiftly opened. Five to six secret guards from Count Kerr’s residence charged over. When they saw Morey lying on the ground, they looked worried.
“Quickly. Call the doctor. Count Kerr is injured…”
A secret guard did not dare to move Morey. He simply carefully used something to stop the bleeding from the gunshot wound deftly.
The other secret guards automatically investigated the gun attack and went on high alert mode. They had to catch the culprit behind this gunshot.
Even though Morey was shot, he did not pass out. He swallowed the blood in his mouth and did his best to look in Min Yu’s direction. “Young Master Min, are you okay?”
“I’m fine. Thanks, Count Kerr,” said Min Yu calmly.
Morey finally felt relieved. “I’m glad you’re fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to answer for it.”
If something happened to the Weapons Bureau chairman, he could never get away from the blame. Also, it would probably set off a series of chain reactions.
Before long, a few doctors quickly entered to examine Morey’s injuries carefully.
Morey fainted in less than a minute. People carried Morey into the room to conduct surgery and remove the bullet.

Zhuo Yun was outside. When he heard the alarms go off in the count’s residence, he looked worried. He was not alone. The other guests at the banquet were equally startled.
The entire banquet hall went into chaos.
Zhuo Yun did not care about them. He pressed the communications device on his collar to contact Min Yu and came to the side hall as quickly as he could.
When he saw his boss standing there unharmed, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. “Boss, what happened?”
Zhuo Yun asked anxiously.
Min Yu stood with his hands behind him and answered mildly. “Someone fired a shot secretly. Morey took the shot for me.”
Zhuo Yun finally discovered the broken glass and hole in the French windows nearby. He walked over to check the window before he walked back to Min Yu solemnly. “From the looks of it, it’s a very powerful sniper gun. The culprit wanted you to die on the spot.”
