Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 625

As Veronica gazed into the distance, clouds of wispy fog slowly rose from the hillside, forming a landscape that looked like an incredibly picturesque fairyland. However, the rain unsettled her even further. She had never been as restless and worried as she was at this very moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Suddenly, there were gunshots sounding from the foot of the hill, and the sound reverberated in the mountains.

The bodyguards keeping watch outside the villa were alerted at once. In an instant, they adopted a defensive posture, and some of them even ran downhill in an attempt to check out the situation.

"Miss Murphy, somebody's coming." Destiny hurriedly pushed the bedroom door open and came in. She said, "You have to hide at the back of the hill with me right away. Mr. Crayson says there's a hidden cave at the back of the hill that's absolutely safe."

Veronica's hands clenched into fists by her sides. All of a sudden, she felt that she had spent years practicing martial arts for nothing as she couldn't put her fighting skills to use at this very moment. She looked back and said to Destiny, "Give me a gun."

"Come on, put on the raincoat first," Destiny said. It was raining cats and dogs outside, so she feared that Veronica might catch a cold, which would affect the baby in her womb.

Without turning down the offer, Veronica quickly took the raincoat from Destiny and put it on before taking the gun and the bullets from the latter. Then, she came downstairs and headed for the back of the hill with the latter.

The cave was in a hidden location. The two of them could only reach there by threading their way through thistles and thorns, so they had no choice but to move very slowly.

The sound of gunshots continued to reverberate continuously in the valley behind them while pulling at their heartstrings. Awakened by the sound, the birds on the trees flapped their wings and flew into the sky to leave the dangerous place.

Veronica was escorted from behind by Destiny and eight bodyguards while a bodyguard led the way ahead of them. Before they realized it, the sound of gunshots had gotten closer and closer to them. It seemed that there was another bunch of people at the back of the hill.

Bang! Suddenly, a bullet was fired in their direction. It hit the bodyguard in front of Veronica, causing him to collapse at once.

"Watch out!" Destiny shouted while dragging Veronica to crouch down.

A few dozen assassins showed up around them. To put it accurately, they were mercenaries dressed in army camouflage who made their way through the dense forest with agile movements while firing away madly in Veronica's direction.
