Ou Luoxi’s long lashes drooped down slowly. The shape of his lips was really pretty. The corners of his lips were lifted up. On a normal day, they had a cute tint of pink, just like a little girl.
He really wanted to sleep already.
Ning Qing was extremely shocked. She could not allow him to sleep.
One of her small hands pressed against his wound. His body tilted forward. She bent down by his ear as she spoke. “Luoxi, do you remember Xiaofu? Xiaofu likes you very much.”
Upon hearing the name “Xiaofu,” Ou Luoxi’s beautiful eyes moved around, and he started to react.
Ning Qing was extremely delighted. At this critical period, it was just like she expected. She could only use Xiao Fu to provoke him.
“Luoxi, tell Sister-in-law, do you like Xiao Fu?” Ning Qing started to question him, and she attracted his attention as she chatted with him.
Ou Luoxi’s beautiful eyes drooped down again. The youth’s Adam’s apple was moving, and it was hard to discern his feelings. “I...cannot...like her.”
“Why?” Ning Qing asked.
Ou Luoxi closed his eyes and did not say anything else.
Ning Qing’s heart sank. She stretched out her hand to shake his shoulder. “Luoxi! Ou Luoxi...”
Ou Luoxi did not have any reaction, and Ning Qing was frightened as she cried out pitifully, “Luoxi, don’t sleep. I am begging you not to sleep...”
At this moment, there was a warm feeling on her shoulder. Her entire being was lifted up. She entered into a warm, familiar embrace. “Ning Qing.”
Lu Shaoming came over.
Ning Qing lifted her gaze up to look at him. It was as if she had met her saviour. Her bloodstained hand went to tug the man’s black shirt. “Shaoming, save Luoxi! Quickly! Luoxi was stabbed with a knife.”
Lu Shaoming looked at the woman whose face was like a kitten crying pitifully. He used his calloused thumb to wipe the tears off her face, then he coaxed her with a gentle tone. “Dayuan is here. Don’t be afraid. Everything will turn out fine.”
“Okay, okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head immediately
If Ou Luoxi died because of her, she would be extremely upset and blame herself for it.
The battle outside was intense. Zhou Dayuan came over. He was dressed in a clean white lab coat. The lab coat exposed his dark coloured trousers, and there was a pair of brown coloured leather shoes on his feet. Even in the middle of the chaos and battle, he remained calm and confident, and he behaved calmly as usual.
Ning Qing looked at Zhou Dayuan’s warm face that resembled a piece of jade. She felt her entire heart ease up.
Older Brother Dayuan was here...
Her body softened, and she directly collapsed into Lu Shaoming’s embrace.
Lu Shaoming put his hand on her small, slim waist. He comforted her as he kissed her forehead. At this moment, no matter what the both of them wanted to say to each other, neither of them wanted to speak. Luoxi’s life was the priority.
There were some assistants following behind Zhou Dayuan. It was the assistant leader of his medical team, and also another two young ladies from Miao Jiang that studied medicine. They were lifting the stretcher in their hands.
Zhou Dayuan walked to Ou Luoxi’s side. He bent down, and he put on his medical gloves. He used both of his hands to test Ou Luoxi’s breathing, irises, heartbeat... His movements were incredibly experienced as he did so.
“The patient’s heartbeat is weak. He has lost too much blood, and that has led to a lack of oxygen. I will count from one to three. You all will lift him up, place his body flat, and put him on the stretcher...”
Zhou Dayuan’s low, charming voice sounded out. The people behind him all followed his orders, and Ou Luoxi was placed on the stretcher.
“Oxygen mask.” Zhou Dayuan stretched his right hand out.
The young lady from Miao Jiang looked at him with ultimate admiration in her eyes. Her small face was blushing as she passed him the oxygen mask. “Doctor Zhou, I will do it.”
The young girl attached the oxygen mask for Ou Luoxi.
Zhou Dayuan did not bother with that young girl. He used his scissors as he cut the t shirt that Ou Luoxi was wearing. He exposed the gory wound on Ou Luoxi’s left chest. It was by his heart.
“The patient’s knife wound is around 3 cm from his left clavicle. The situation is a little critical. We do not have enough time to send him to the operating room right now. Administer coagulants. Someone, come over to press the patient’s chest. Take the needle over here. I will use it to sew the wound close.”
His assistant silently brought over the coagulants. He spread it over Ou Luoxi’s wounds. The young lady from Miao Jiang blushed as she came forward excitedly. “Doctor Zhou, I will press his chest down.”
“Okay.” Zhou Dayuan held the young lady’s small hand as he taught her to press Ou Luoxi’s chest down. His big, warm, beautiful hands pressed on the young lady’s. He lowered his gaze as he spoke with a gentle and charming voice. “Follow the clockwise direction as you add pressure in order to prevent the blood from not flowing well when I am sewing the wound up.”
“Yes, Doctor Zhou.” The young lady from Miao Jiang looked at Zhou Dayuan’s handsome face in front of her, and he looked extremely powerful.
At this moment, Jian Han walked inside. That old uncle from Miao Jiang did not have a clear state of mind. He had just had a bout of craziness. She spent some time trying to hypnotize him.
When she came in, she saw Zhou Dayuan looking resplendent. That lanky figure resembled a piece of jade. He stood together with a young lady while speaking in hushed tones. The young lady looked at him with admiration and love in her eyes.
She stopped in her tracks.
The man that was a distance away from her did not notice her. He let go of the young lady’s hands and received the needle from his assistant. The blood stained his gloves, but he was confident and warm. He looked attractive and intelligent with his medical skills.
The needle moved around in his hands, and a moment later, the wound was sealed successfully.
“Lift the patient into the observation room. Inject him with saline. Tonight would be the key observation period. We will change shifts as we observe him tonight.” Zhou Dayuan removed the blood stained gloves on his hand while addressing his assistant.
“Yes, sir.” The assistant lifted Ou Luoxi up.
Ning Qing looked on as she was worried. She asked, “Older Brother Dayuan, is Luoxi’s life still in danger?”
Zhou Dayuan shook his head. “This is not a given. Today will be the key period. We have to see if he can wake up from his coma.”
The tears in Ning Qing’s eyes trickled down. “It’s all my fault. If I had not asked Luoxi to come, he would not be in danger now.”
At this moment, a low voice came from above her. “It is alright as long as you know it. In the future, don’t overestimate yourself again.”
Ning Qing heard what he said and stretched out her hand immediately to push the man away. Her tears blurred her vision as she glared at Lu Shaoming. “You go away! I don’t want to talk to you.”
She was only apologetic towards Luoxi. This man did not have any share of that.
She had yet to settle his debts that he owed her.
Rascal!
Ning Qing walked away.
Lu Shaoming, who was controlling the anger in his entire body: “...” She was the one who got angry with him first.
Ning Qing took two steps forward and saw Jian Han. She said, “Older Sister Jian.”
The young lady from Miao Jiang was asking Zhou Dayuan a question related to medicine. Zhou Dayuan replied, and at this moment, he heard Ning Qing call “Older Sister Jian” out loud. He quickly turned around to look.
Jian Han was standing a distance away.
Her almond shaped eyes were quietly pointed in his direction.
Zhou Dayuan went forward. His expression was a little displeased as he said, “Jian Han, didn’t I not allow you to come over? It is very dangerous here! Go back, quickly.”
He had yet to reach Jian Han. Jian Han held Ning Qing’s small hand, and both women turned around to leave.
Zhou Dayuan who was left at his original spot was puzzled: “...”
He looked at Lu Shaoming from a distance away.
Lu Shaoming placed both of his hands in his pockets. After Ning Qing’s back profile disappeared from sight, he plainly withdrew his gaze and looked at Zhou Dayuan. “Your woman is jealous,” he said with a laugh.
Jealous?
Zhou Dayuan froze a moment before he lifted his eyebrows up and broke out into a smile.
He was in a good mood.
“Your woman is angry, and she would be angry for a long period of time,” Zhou Dayuan reminded him kindly, returning his words back to him.
Lu Shaoming snorted out loud. He did not bother with him. He lifted his gaze to look in the distance.
The elite troops from the Flaming Forces Commando unit had already killed all of those mercenaries. Zhou Yao and Tang Xueli were battling with one another. The abilities of these two people were at about the same standard, and the winner had yet to be determined.
At this moment, there was a black lithe figure that emerged in the midst of the chaos, Leng Zhiyuan was here.
The woman was able to get news that quickly.
Lu Shaoming was afraid that when the both of them met with one another, they would end up fighting. The last time, they had allowed Tang Xueli to escape. This time, there could not be another mishap.
Lu Shaoming curled the corner of his lips. Casually, he said, “Miss Leng, Second Younger Brother, you two should collaborate to deal with Tang Xueli then. If you two are not able to capture him, then I will personally help the both of you to organize your wedding.”
Organize their wedding?
Zhou Yao and Leng Zhiyuan heard his words. Their senses were cruelly tugged on for a moment, and their entire faces were covered in disbelief.
Tang Xueli and Zhou Yao separated from one another. Tang Xueli looked at his subordinates. They were mostly dead, and this time, he had really lost.
His entire face was constricted in an evil expression. He spat a mouthful of blood and said, “Come over then.”
Leng Zhiyuan threw her submachine gun onto the ground. She tied her hair up casually and placed a sharp knife at her waist. She laughed coldly. “Take your life over here.”
The 3 of them battled with one another.
20 minutes later, Tang Xueli was defeated.
Zhou Yao used one of his long legs to kick Tang Xueli’s joint on his thighs. Bang! Tang Xueli knelt down on the floor.
Leng Zhiyuan pointed her gun at his forehead. “You’ve killed so many brothers of mine. You even harmed my older brother. Watch shoot you right now.”
“Miss Leng, pause for a moment.” Lu Shaoming went forward.
Leng Zhiyuan lifted her eyebrows up. “Why, could it be that Young Master Lu has forgotten our gentleman’s promise? My older brother saved you. Didn’t you say once before that Tang Xueli would be handed over to us to handle?”
Lu Shaoming was not surprised at her words. He had a confident smile on his face as he said, “Miss Leng, don’t misunderstand. I would definitely hand this person over to you to handle, but only, if you kill him now, aren’t you short-changing yourself? As for President Tang, if you hand him over to the country to punish him, if they give him the death penalty or hand him life in imprisonment, wouldn’t that be even better then?”
Tang Xueli, who was on the ground, heard his words and laughed coldly. “Hmph, Young Master Lu, let us have a trade. You are not even willing to let me end it off quickly.”
Lu Shaoming slowly bent over. He looked at Tang Xueli with his dark eyes. He had a smile on his face as he slowly said, “President Tang, didn’t you want to beg for death but not get it, or to ask to live on but not be able to do so? I will now gift this ending to you.” As Lu Shaoming spoke, he came to Tang Xueli’s ear. With a smile, he said, “Don’t worry, they won’t give you the death sentence. I will ask the people in prison to take care of you well, and they will care for you for your entire life.”
Tang Xueli’s constricted face had a trace of depression in it. He was dead, he had really failed this time.
“Young Master Lu, you should feel lucky. If you did not have an intelligent wife, you would’ve been the failure today.”
“Yeah.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head, “But what are we going to do? I just so happen to have this intelligent and quick-witted wife. President Tang, you can spend the rest of your life being jealous of me.”
“You!”
Lu Shaoming stood up and gave an indication to Zhou Yao using his eyes. A few elite troops came over. They handcuffed Tang Xueli as they brought him away.
Tang Xueli was not satisfied. “If you have the ability, kill me then. I don’t want to go to prison. How can a person like me go into prison?” he shouted out crazily.
Tang Xueli was brought into the car, and waiting for him was a long, dark life in prison.
The car drove away, and Lu Shaoming withdrew his gaze. He looked at Leng Zhiyuan. “Miss Leng, many of your subordinates were hurt. You should stay behind for a few days. You should recuperate before going back.”
Leng Zhiyuan looked at her subordinates. She nodded her head casually before she said, “Sure!”
She placed her submachine gun on her shoulder, and walked forward to settle the mess.
Lu Shaoming patted Zhou Yao’s shoulder. “You are still not going to help?”
Zhou Yao: Oldest Brother, why does it have to be me?
