Xu Mey heard the sound of the bullet being shot but the pain never came. What came was a cry that was heard somewhere close to her.
Xu Mey slowly opened her eyes and the scene before her, made her freeze for a moment. All she saw was blood around her and then her eyes fell on the figure laying in her feet, groaning with pain.
Her eyes widened up and she knelt down crying out, "Dad!"
The moment she had closed her eyes earlier, two figures entered the room exactly at the same time. One came like a shadow through the window and the other pushed open the door and ran in front of Xu Mey.
The figure that ran before Xu Mey managed to save her from the bullet but by making his own body a shield for her. And he was Xu Mey's own father, Xu Cheng. The bullet hit his shoulder. Due to the pain and force, he fell to the ground. The blood was gushing out from his wound, making a puddle under him.
