Yan Yue suddenly widened her eyes, just as a loud "bang" echoed throughout the room, and Ruan Tianling's shot hit Pili.
"Woof——" Pili let out a miserable cry, struggling painfully in the cage and gradually losing energy, until it was merely wreaking weakly, finally slumping in the cage motionless.
Yan Yue was too scared to look back, and even Sister-in-law Sun was tense, her nerves taut.
Both of them assumed that Ruan Tianling had killed Pili, thinking that he had shot it.
Yet the gunshots were soft and not sharp, like they didn't fire bullets. Yan Yue had handled hunting rifles before and knew how they sounded on discharge so something seemed off with the hunting rifle in Ruan Tianling's hand.
Swiftly recovering her composure, Yan Yue turned back but saw no gory scene.
Turns out it was a tranquilizer gun, not a hunting rifle.
She heaved a sigh of relief, noting he hadn't become so ruthless as to kill Pili.
But Yan Yue's moment of relief soon gave way to despair once more.
