Chapter 1645
Bright red blood sttered instantly, unavoidably covering Bryson, who sat in the passenger seat.
His eyes snapped to attention, and almost immediately, he reached out to push
Yasmine’s head down into the car..
Several bullets pierced through the car window one after the other, grazing Yasmine’s hair and
embedding themselves into the window on the other side.
Had Bryson hesitated even a moment, Yasmine could have been killed on the spot!
Drivers on the main road exited their vehicles to investigate the situation ahead, only to witness this
deadly spectacle.
Such tant gunfire in broad daylight was umon in the country, let alone in this bustling city.
The scene quickly spiraled out of control, with people on the streets ducking and running in panic.
The chaotic scene forced the gunfire to cease.c2
Bryson was certain that the shots fired earlier were from a sniper hidden in the distance, because
this was a main road, just a short distance ahead was an overpass, and the surrounding area was
filled with moving vehicles. Plus, given the current traffic jam, if there was a sniper in a car, it could
only be in the vehicles closest to them.
However, judging by the direction of the iing bullets, it was easy to determine they were
coming from the left. And all the cars on the left had their windows closed. Moreover, judging by the
pration power of the bullets, there was no way they were fired from close
range.
Someone was clearly plotting a murder, and they were clearly the targets.
Bryson kept his hand firmly on Yasmine, even after the gunshots ceased. He nced at Yasmine
and asked, “Are you okay, Miss?”
“I’m fine,” Yasmine replied, her face pale.
Bryson nodded and retrieved his phone from his pocket. “I’m going to call someone over right now.”
The driver was killed by the gunfire and slumped over due to the loss of weight.
A bullet had brutally prated his head, and from the gunshot wound, warm, red blood was still
flowing out at an rming rate. The surrounding skin and flesh had burst open, a ghastly sight.
Yasmine quickly closed her eyes. Her eyshes were trembling violently. To witness a living person
lose their life without any warning, to watch a vibrant life extinguished in front of her eyes, even with
her strong mental fortitude, she found it hard to ept such a harsh reality.

She might have been able to navigate the world of business, but she had never dealt with matters
of life and death.
“Miss, please calm down, and take care of yourself,” Bryson advised.
Yasmine’s eyes were still tightly shut, but she responded, “… Bryson, someone wants to kill
me.”
Bryson’s face hardened even more. “You’re overthinking, Miss.”
Yasmine shook her head. “The sudden power outage in the city on a weekday, caused traffic control
systems to fail, and got us trapped here… all of these scenarios were part of their n.”
Bryson, of course, had spected this, but without evidence, he couldn’t make such assumptions.
After all, hisdy was part of the royal family, and the implications of this
incident were vast.
Actually, he could guess who wanted her dead.
“The citywide power outage, the entire city nearly paralyzed, including surveince systems. They
can act without any constraints. Considering the scope of this operation, I can’t think of a second
person capable of such a feat…
Not just anyone with money could pull this off. There were very few people who were wealthy and
had the connections to cut off the city’s power supply effortlessly.
The Harper family was currently being cornered by the Obsidian Corporation and had no time to
deal with her. Other businesses harbored no grudge against her. So, the person in this
world who most wished for her death could probably be just one person.
Bryson’s face darkened, and his aged face was filled with anger. “Just how greedy is this
woman?!”
Yasmine chuckled bitterly. “In my life, I guess I’ll never find true love and friendship. The love and
friends I cherished turned out to be my most lethal enemies.”
Bryson looked at Yasmine sympathetically, trying tofort her. “Don’t overthink, Miss. They might
just be passing through your life. There’s no need to waste feelings on these people
Yasmineughed lightly, her mockery not lessened.
Lovers, friends…
What others considered the two most important aspects of life had ruined most of hers.
Passing through her life? If the two people who had taken half of her life, were just passersby,
wouldn’t that be too dismissive?
Bryson knew Yasmine had her own considerations. Anything more he said would be pointless, so
he closed his mouth and stopped dwelling on the topic
The gunfire outside had ceased. Bryson cautiously lifted his head slightly, and after a few seconds,
there was no response.
In broad daylight, such obvious gunfire had attracted everyone’s attention. Now
was in chaos, any intelligent person would be nning their escape. After all, the city wouldn’t allow
the power outage tost too long.
In reality, they only had a few minutes before the power returned. Now that the situation was
chaotic, the sess rate of a remote sniper was almost negligible.
At this point, Bryson had sinctly made his call, confirming that the sniper had given up the
attack, only then did he allow Yasmine to sit up.
Wendy, who had been hiding in her car from the beginning, observed the situation from afar. Seeing
that the sniper had given up the attack, her face twisted in frustration. She pressed the
communicator in her ear, shaking with rage.
“Why did you stop? She’s sitting up! Shoot! What are you waiting for?!”
“Visual interference, no sess rate, if we don’t leave now, we’ll be discovered. We have to cancel
the n!”
“What do you mean cancel?!!” Wendy’s voice was sharp and hysterical. “If you back off now, it’s like
alerting the enemy. It won’t be as easy as today if you try again in the future! Do you
understand?!!”
The sniper had no intention of listening to her. “No matter what you say, I can’t carry out the n
today! If you want to, do it yourself!”
Wendy was so angry that her whole body was shaking. “Ipetent!!”
The other party directly cut off themunication with her.
Wendy was so angry that she ripped themunicator from her ear and threw it aside.
“Ipetent, coward, good for nothing!”
She cursed under her breath, seething with anger as she sat alone in the passenger seat. It took a
while for her rapid, rage–filled breaths to slow and steady, and when they finally did. she fixed her
gaze on a car not too far away. Her eyes were filled with a malicious glint.
“Yasmine has to die!”
Her words were practically squeezed through her clenched teeth, each syble sounding as if she
was biting into Yasmine herself, full of pure hatred.
Yasmine was the one Chloe cared about the most if she were to die, the look on Chloe’s face would
surely be a sight to behold!
