Who are they? Who would actually try to kill us?
Si Teng had no doubt that the newcomers were targeting them.
After all, there was no need for such a huge show of force to deal with ordinary people.
"It should be the Chen Family."
Ding Ling remained calm and composed.
Si Teng's panicked heart settled somewhat as well. She realized that ever since Ding Ling had protected her, she had become more and more like a little woman. She no longer had the same Baleful Qi as before. Whenever she encountered danger in the past, her first reaction had been to charge straight in;
but now, whenever danger arose, her first thought was of Ding Ling;
"The Chen Family?"
Si Teng inhaled sharply. "Does the Chen Family really have that much power?"
"This place is close to the border, so it's normal for smugglers to appear."
Ding Ling comforted her. "Don't worry. Wait here for me. I'll take care of that assassin."
"They have guns. Be careful."
Si Teng instinctively reached out and hugged Ding Ling's arm. "Why don't you just not go? Safety comes first. They fired their guns in a crowded area, so they must have alarmed the security forces. They won't get away. This is a society governed by law."
"You're right. But there's no sense in defending against thieves for a thousand days. I want to settle this once and for all."
Si Teng naturally understood that logic as well. Being watched by an assassin every day, never knowing when she might be shot in the head, was terrifying just to think about.
But the thought of Ding Ling charging out alone frightened her even more. "Still, still, don't go."
She gathered her courage. "Let me go! I'm an employee. I should protect my Boss!"
