Chapter 109 - 109 Hurry Up
109 Hurry Up
Blood was everywhere. Huo Jinyan’s body, hands, eyes—they were all stained red.
His hands were trembling as he tried his best to remain calm and think of something.
He looked around; this place was so empty that there was not even a place to hide.
Huo Jinyan held Lu Ning in his arms and applied pressure on her back, but fresh blood kept flowing out from between his fingers.
“Chu Ting!” Huo Jinyan had spotted something and stopped Chu Ting from running over. He gestured to him, and Chu Ting immediately ran off in the opposite direction.
Huo Jinyan dragged Lu Ning’s body along and moved under a tree; he propped his back against the trunk, and leaned Lu Ning’s unconscious head on his shoulder. Looking at her blood-stained back, Huo Jinyan tried calling out to her.
“Lu Ning! Lu Ning!”
But there was no reaction.
Not far behind them, the gunfire had not ceased. Huo Jinyan saw a car speeding towards them and hurriedly carried Lu Ning up, and it screeched to a stop in front of the two of them. A rather flustered Chu Ting quickly came out to help Huo Jinyan bring Lu Ning into the car, and then they sped away.
In the car, Huo Jinyan took off his clothes and held them tightly against Lu Ning’s back. When he saw Lu Ning’s face becoming more and more pale, his gaze trembled.
“Hurry up!”
Chu Ting had already floored the accelerator.
…
When Huo Jinyan rushed into the hospital with Lu Ning all covered in blood, the doctors and nurses were startled.
They quickly regained their senses and moved to save her. Lu Ning was hurriedly pushed into the operating theater.
His hands trembling, Chu Ting made a call to take care of the aftermath.
Not long after, Gu Chen and the rest arrived at the hospital, making a racket.
“Where is she? Where’s Ning’ning?!”
Gu Chen stepped forward and grabbed Huo Jinyan by his collar.
With a bloodied hand, Huo Jinyan grabbed his wrist and croaked, “In the operating theater.”
He raised his hand and pointed at the operating theater. Gu Chen glanced over.
“Huo Jinyan! I don’t care what your motive is for getting close to her; if anything happens to her, I’ll never let you or the Huo family off!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he flung his hand away.
The group was also injured, but they were only light injuries. They were all fine and only needed simple treatment.
Huo Jinyan sat on the bench outside the operating theater and looked down at his hands, which were stained crimson with blood.
Why?
Why did she jump on him to protect him?
What kind of capacity could make her disregard her own safety and rush over to protect him?!
Huo Jinyan could not calm down for a long time.
…
This time, on the contrary, it was Gu Zi who appeared calmer. He raised his hand and nudged Huo Jinyan.
“You’re injured too. Go treat it.”
Huo Jinyan did not feel that he had been hurt. He looked at him and said, “It’s not my blood.”
His voice quivered on the last word.
Gu Zi pointed at his ear.
Huo Jinyan subconsciously reached over and felt a slick sensation.
Blood was seeping from behind his ear; he must have cut himself when he rolled down.
“Quickly go and have it looked at. Once Ning’ning’s surgery is done, immediately transfer her back to the hospital in A City.”
Huo Jinyan stood up and turned around to look at the operating theater before leaving.
…
Fortunately, Lu Ning was shot in the back and her vitals were not hit, she only lost too much blood. After some inquiring, they learnt that she could be transferred to another hospital; without any delay, a group of people transferred her from the hospital in B City to A City.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already around five in the afternoon, and the sky was getting dark.
Gu Chen and the others were still dealing with the aftermath. Huo Jinyan changed into clean clothes and prepared to inform Lu Ning’s parents.
However, they had yet to figure out what to say. After all, she had been missing for a day; they had to have a reasonable explanation.
And they had to try their best to hide the fact that she had been shot.
