After a confrontation in a small temple, Chiang Xiao and Xiao Zhou were forced to flee. They were pursued by women who had replaced the "Senior Masters" inside. Xiao Zhou sacrificed himself to allow Chiang Xiao to escape towards the beach, only for Chiang Xiao to be ambushed by two men. Chiang Xiao realized there was a traitor within the Jiang Family, possibly poisoning him and working with Lu Shuangshuang.

Jiang Shiheng let out a smirk. "I can accompany you, but right now I’m so parched I can barely stand it. At least let me have a drink of water."

"Drink water?"

The two bodyguards exchanged astonished glances.

Water, at a time like this?

However, they did indeed observe Jiang Shiheng retrieving a small bottle of water from his pocket.

With a twist of the cap, Jiang Shiheng downed the water in large gulps until not a single drop remained.

As the liquid slid down his throat, a cool sensation spread, revitalizing his clouded senses and bringing a degree of clarity to his vision.

His hope was that by buying himself just a little time for the potion to take effect, his chances of escape would increase.

Jiang Shiheng then returned the empty bottle to his pocket.

"Truly the son of a wealthy landlord, carrying such a precious bottle of water. Is this water more valuable than what we drink?" One of the bodyguards jeered, raising his firearm once more. "Speed up!"

They advanced towards him.

Did Lu Shuangshuang truly desire him alive, regardless of whether he sustained injuries?

Why were they intent on capturing him?

When viewed from this perspective, emotions seemed utterly absurd.

"Move it!" A bodyguard shoved him. "Now that you've fallen into our hands, do you still fancy yourself the Young Master of the Jiang Family?"

Seizing the opportune moment, Jiang Shiheng collapsed onto the sand.

"Are you toying with us? Get up!"

The bodyguard raised his boot for another kick.

At that precise instant, a figure suddenly leaped from the side, tackling both men to the ground and pinning their gun-wielding hands with a firm grip.

"Sixth Young Master, flee!"

"Sun Han?"

Jiang Shiheng's heart leaped with joy. Upon closer inspection, it was undeniably Sun Han!

He was completely unharmed?

"Run quickly!" Sun Han urged.

Jiang Shiheng immediately bolted towards the sea.

He had already spotted the boat they had used for their arrival.

"Bang! Bang!"

Two gunshots echoed.

Just as Jiang Shiheng was about to turn his head, Sun Han sprinted over. "Sixth Young Master, run!"

"Get on the boat!"

On this isolated islet, all of Lu Shuangshuang's operatives were present. Even if their boat was compromised, they had no choice but to board it and make their escape as far as possible.

Remaining here would only result in their capture.

"Alright!"

Sun Han snatched the guns from the two immobilized men, firing shots behind them periodically.

His marksmanship was exceptionally precise, with each shot posing a significant threat to their pursuers, effectively slowing their advance.

They had reached the boat.

Jiang Shiheng scrambled aboard while Sun Han gave the boat a strong push, boarding it himself and unleashing a volley of shots towards their tail.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The opposing group retaliated with gunfire.

Sun Han's heart grew heavy.

It appeared they were not overly concerned with the Sixth Young Master's personal safety!

This was perplexing; he had assumed Lu Shuangshuang intended to capture the Sixth Young Master, not cause him harm.

With a sharp crack, a bullet struck Jiang Liu's shoulder.

Engrossed in fending off the attackers, Sun Han failed to notice.

Jiang Shiheng's pupils constricted, but at that critical moment, he witnessed an astonishing phenomenon!

The Jade Beads adorning his neck suddenly seemed to radiate a peculiar energy, forming an invisible shield before him. The bullet, mere centimeters from his body, struck this unseen barrier and was deflected to the ground.

Immediately afterward, he heard the distinct sound of the Jade Beads shattering into pieces.

The once-pristine Jade Beads had disintegrated completely.

Could this be...?

Jiang Shiheng stood dumbfounded.

These were a gift from Little, who had earnestly advised him to always wear them and never remove them.

Was he hallucinating?

"Sixth Young Master, please help row the boat!"

Sun Han's voice jolted him back to the present reality.

Jiang Shiheng reacted instantly, grabbing the oars and beginning to propel the boat through the water.
