You thought wrong. That 'bang' wasn't the sound of a gun being fired.
Shi's body hit the ground, writhing in pain. Lillie didn't shoot him. No, she wouldn't want to taint hers and Ethan's bedroom with blood and gore.
Instead, she ruthlessly slammed the butt of her gun at the back of his head.
It's not worst than a bullet shot, but the strength she exerted in the hit was so ruthless that he earned a minor concussion, and his eyesight slightly and temporarily impaired.
"Shi!"
Shi's vision was already a bit dark thanks to the pillowcase, but he can tell that it's swimming with black spots. Dizziness disturbed his balance and an irritating ring overwhelmed his ears. Just how hard did the damn woman hit him?
"I'm tired already," Lillie stood up and unceremoniously planted her foot on Shi's head to keep the three from doing anything funny.
