Just as Qiao Jing was thinking, George who was next to him suddenly raised his hand, pointed at the boats approaching the island quickly, and said in surprise, "No, that's Mr. John's boat!"

"They must have found us hiding on the island and brought people to catch us!"

As he said that, George turned his head to look at Qiao Jing, with a nervous expression visible to the naked eye, "Master, they are coming soon, let's hide first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, boats docked one after another.

The first to disembark were John and Frank.

Seeing this, Qiao Jing couldn't help frowning, and said to Zhan Qi Pei: "There are a lot of them, we really have to hide first, and run in the direction we came just now."

If Tang Yan and his party were there, there was no need for them to hide.

However, Tang Yan and the others hadn't returned to the agreed place, John had a lot of people, and with her and Zhan Qipei alone, no matter how good they were at fighting, they would inevitably suffer losses.

After all, two fists are no match for four hands!
Qiao Jing pulled Zhan Qi Pei up, turned around and ran into the nearby woods, and at the same time reminded George, "Follow quickly."

She escaped successfully, thanks to George's help.

If George hadn't found an opportunity to stun the port guards, her escape plan might not have gone so smoothly.

But from John's point of view, George is a complete traitor.

Once caught, George will definitely not end well!

When the three of Qiao Jing ran into the woods, John and Frank chased after them.

There are many forests on the island, and the forest that Qiao Jing and the three entered happened to be the one with the most trees and the most complicated terrain.

After entering the woods, under the siege of John and others, George accidentally ran away and failed to keep up with Qiao Jing and Zhan Qi Pei.

The three were forced to split into two teams.

When Frank saw this, he immediately asked John for instructions, "Mr. John, that boy George ran in another direction, should we assign some people to chase him, or?"

John waved his hand, and said decisively: "Leave him alone, concentrate my manpower, and focus on hunting down Professor Qiao!"

The professor Qiao they were looking for was right in front of them. Wouldn't it be a waste of money to chase after George at this time?

If Professor Qiao ran away because of this, the loss outweighs the gain!

After catching Professor Qiao, it's not too late to take care of George!

Zhan Qipei found that George was missing, and thought that it was Qiao Jing's apprentice, so he said to her, "Your apprentice seems to be separated."

"It's okay, it's a good thing to get separated."

Qiao Jing didn't stop walking, leading Zhan Qi Pei through the woods.

In the past two days, she has not been idle. While hunting hares, she also familiarized herself with the topography of the island.

Although familiarity with the terrain can't completely get rid of John and his party, but with this advantage, it is still possible to create a little distance.

As long as it can delay time, it is enough to find Tang Yan and the others.

As for George, it was safer not to be with her.

John is now focused on capturing her back, so she thinks that John will never spread his hands to capture George at this time and give her a chance to escape.

Zhan Qi Pei glanced back, seeing that the people behind were still chasing him closely, he raised his long eyebrows that were like mountains and mist, and there was a bit of annoyance in his brows.

"I came here in a hurry, I should have brought some flares."

If he had brought the signal flare, he could directly send the signal now, letting Tang Yan and the others know where he and Qiao Jing were, and they would come in time for reinforcements!
At this time, John's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Professor Qiao, don't run away, there are only two of you, and you won't be able to escape any longer, so don't waste your energy in vain."

Qiao Jing frowned, turned her steps, and pulled Zhan Qi Pei to run in another direction.

To be honest, if it were because she was pregnant, her actions would be much slower, it would be impossible for these people to catch up with her.

Seeing that Qiao Jing did not intend to stop at all, John gritted his teeth and raised his voice again: "Professor Qiao, if you don't stop, we will shoot!"

"Boom, boom—"

As soon as John finished speaking, two piercing gunshots rang out, breaking the silence on the island.

Even so, Qiao Jing still had no intention of stopping.

John also counted on her to help research new types of wheat, so she concluded that John's words should be just a threat.

It was impossible for John to endanger her life.

If she died, wouldn't John's new wheat research plan be ruined?

Qiao Jing's deduction was correct, John really didn't dare to hurt her life.

But he didn't want Qiao Jing to have another chance to escape.

He turned his head and said to Frank: "Shoot, aim, remember not to aim at important parts, and don't hurt Professor Qiao's life."

"understand!"

After Frank responded, he raised the short gun in his hand and aimed the gun at Qiao Jing's leg.

Qiao Jing has been paying attention to the surrounding terrain, thinking about the countermeasures to throw John and his party away, without realizing that she has been pointed at by the gun.

On the contrary, Zhan Qi Pei glanced back inadvertently, and happened to find this situation.

The moment Frank pulled the trigger, he pushed Qiao Jing away with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"boom--"

As the gunshot rang out, Zhan Qi Pei fell to the ground.

Qiao Jing staggered a bit from being pushed, but fortunately she was pretty good at it and quickly stabilized her figure.

After standing still, she immediately realized what happened.

She turned her head abruptly, and saw Zhan Qi Pei lying on the ground with an obvious gunshot wound on the root of his thigh, with bright red blood gushing out.

Seeing this scene, Qiao Jing's heart skipped a beat, and a heart instantly rose to her throat.

This feeling, like about to lose something particularly important, has a sense of panic attacking my heart.

Qiao Jing suddenly thought of the time when Grandpa Zhang passed away.

At that time, she felt like the sky was about to fall.

But at this moment, she felt the same way when she saw that Zhan Qi Pei was shot and injured.

Qiao Jing's face paled a little, this was the first time she was so panic-stricken.

She rushed over quickly, squatted in front of Zhan Qi Pei, grasped his hand, her expression flustered, "Zhan Qi Pei, how are you? Are you okay? Can you hear me?"

However, the man didn't answer a word.

His eyes were closed and he was unconscious.

Seeing him like this, Qiao Jing was in a state of confusion, tears burst out of her eyes, her voice was choked up, "Zhan Qi Pei! Zhan Qi Pei! Wake up..."

It was also at this moment that Qiao Jing realized very clearly that she had fallen in love with this man.

This feeling of fear of losing is actually the feeling of deep love...

At this moment, John and Frank surrounded him with their men.

Seeing how excited Qiao Jing was, John felt that the situation was not good, and quickly evaded: "Professor Qiao, you can't blame us for this matter, we don't want things to develop like this."
