A Vengeful Girl novel Chapter 116

Brian glanced at the floating time bomb with steely determination.

There's no way he could let Linda die. Should anything happen to Charles's beloved girl, Charles would be shattered by grief.

Brian Ho and Charles Mu were always as thick as thieves. Futhermore, Charles had once saved Brian's life.

So Brian would not hesitate to go through fire and water for Charles.

For as long as Brian had known him, Charles Mu had never showed interest in any woman. So Brian thought Charles would remain single through his whole life.

But everything changed after Linda came into the picture.

Besides, it's Brian's fault that Linda was put in jeopardy now, so Brian was determined to get her back at all costs.

The time bomb was ticking, which unsettled Brian.

Holding Linda tight to his chest, Brian Ho turned his back to the time bomb and swam toward the shore as quickly as he could.

Three, two, one...

The bomb went off.

Even though Brian Ho swam as far away from the bomb as he could, They only got as far as fifteen inches away from the tomb when it exploded. Brian felt an excruciating pain on his back when the bomb went off. The onslaught of the heat wave was simply too much for him.

But he didn't give up and went on swimming even though he was exhausted.

On the pier, Bullets shot through Vincent Zhou's limbs soon after Linda fell into the river.

Vincent Zhou dropped to a pool of blood, unable to move. Charles Mu ordered the snipers to avoid the vital parts pf his body to keep him alive.

"How's it going? Have you found them?" Asked Charles Mu with a frown.

"No, Young Master, none of our men has found Lady Linda and Young Master Ho yet."

"Keep searching and put more men on it."

Bun came down from the high ground and looked at Charles Mu with red-rimmed eyes, "Young Mater, it's all my fault. I failed to protect My Lady."

Charles Mu knew Bun's not the one to blame for this emergency and he's not a man who drew no distinction between right and wrong. So he said, "Never mind, I now it's not your fault."

Many of their enemies were out for blood. What happened today had proved it: Not long after Bun left, Linda's life was immediately put in danger.

When they were about 32 inches away from the shore, Brian Ho felt he's going to slip into a coma. Then he whipped out the dagger clipped to his belt and cut one of his arm.

The sharp pain made him lucid.

He was exhausted, but still grasped Linda lest she might float away.

Fortunately, some of Charles's men spotted them and pulled them out of the water before Brian Ho passed out.

"Young Master Ho! My Lady! Are you OK?"

"Loosen the rope around her. I am afarid she could not make it..."

They were put on a lifeboat which would carry them to the shore.

When the two reached the pier, Charles Mu took over Linda, who was in a coma, looking rather pale.

Looking his poor wife-to-be, Charles Mu's heart ached. He frowned and stroked her cheek with one of his trembling hands.
