PNB Chapter 127 Distress
Chapter 127 Distress
She sat quietly on the gauze window, her eyes somewhat unfocused, as memories flooded back.
Every moment I spent with Xie Huaijin is so vivid in my memory.
They watched the sunrise together at the beach, Xie Huaijin held her hand tightly and promised to give her a lifetime of happiness;
Suddenly, her heart skipped a beat, and she snapped back to reality.
"Xie Huaijin, I will make you pay the price!"
Just then, the silence in the room was broken by the ringing of a cell phone.
She glanced at the caller ID; it was an unknown number.
On the other end of the phone was a deep, resonant male voice:
"Next, you need to get close to Xie Huaijin. Your appearance is your best weapon."
"clear."
He hung up the phone, his eyes turning cold and sharp.
In the cool night, a light rain began to fall. A gentle breeze swept by, carrying damp mist and raindrops, the coolness bringing a sense of clarity.
"Where are you taking me, Mr. Fu?"
Ye Xingran and Fu Shiyue left together
Fu Shiyue glanced at Ye Xingran in the rearview mirror and said calmly, "Let's go back to my house."
Ye Xingran frowned slightly and questioned, "Why did I go to your house? I'm nobody to you."
"Don't you think it's a bit too coincidental that Jiang Jiyue appeared?"
She understood somewhat. Last time, she had just returned to Yunmeng, intending to rescue Qiao Yi, and coincidentally, she had reappeared in their sight under a different identity.
Perhaps, there really is something planned behind this...
Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed past the car window, and a black car sped up behind them at an extremely high speed, clearly following them.
Fu Shiyue's eyes sharpened, and he gripped the steering wheel tightly, accelerating the car.
Ye Xingran's heart leaped into her throat, and she asked in alarm, "What's going on? Who's following us?"
Fu Shiyue did not answer, focusing on dealing with the vehicles behind him.
He kept changing lanes, trying to shake off the pursuers, but the car was like a ghost, sticking to them relentlessly.
The rain intensified, blurring visibility and making the situation even more critical.
The two black SUVs sped up and blocked their path, forcing Fu Shiyue to brake suddenly.
Ye Xingran was nearly hit by the sudden stop and grabbed the seat tightly in fear.
Just then, the cars behind caught up and blocked their car from both the front and the back.
Several men in black got out of the car, armed with weapons, and slowly approached their vehicle.
Fu Shiyue's eyes were icy cold. He whispered to Ye Xingran, "Find a chance to run away later."
Ye Xingran turned pale with fright, but still nodded.
Just as the man in black was about to get close, Fu Shiyue suddenly opened the car door and rushed out, wrestling with the man in black.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Xingran opened the other car door and ran out.
But they hadn't run far when a man in black blocked their way.
Ye Xingran closed her eyes in despair.
Just then, Fu Shiyue suddenly appeared out of nowhere and kicked the man in black away.
He grabbed Ye Xingran's hand and ran towards the alleyway by the roadside.
The men in black were hot on their heels. The rain was still falling, and their figures looked particularly disheveled in the night.
"No, I really can't run anymore..."
Even though she was exhausted, he still pulled her along the way.
"Their target was us, and they were armed; they wanted to kill us."
"Bang!" A gunshot shattered the sky, startling Ye Xingran so much that she almost fell over.
Fu Shiyue quickly helped her up and pulled her along as they continued running deeper into the alley.
Suddenly, a man in black rushed out from a corner, his gun pointed directly at their backs.
"Don't move!" the man in black said coldly.
Ye Xingran and Fu Shiyue immediately stopped in their tracks, their bodies tense.
Fu Shiyue shielded Ye Xingran behind him.
The atmosphere in the dimly lit alley was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
The man in black held a gun, his eyes cold, and slowly pulled the trigger between his fingers.
At that critical moment, fear and worry instantly filled her face, and she blurted out "Be careful!"
Without hesitation, she rushed forward, wanting to use her body to form a barrier for him.
The bullet whistled through the air like a ghost, grazing the edge of her body.
A sharp pain instantly spread throughout her arm, and her body swayed slightly.
He stared in astonishment at the scene, his heart feeling as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
He quickly reached out to support her swaying body and anxiously shouted, "Ye Xingran, are you stupid?!"
A weak smile forced across her pale face as she whispered, "Because you're my boss. If something happens to the boss, who will pay my salary?"
Seeing that his first shot had missed, the man in black was about to fire again.
Upon seeing that the injured person was a woman, his expression changed, and he quickly put away his gun and disappeared into the darkness.
He helped her lean against the wall, and felt heartbroken as he looked at the blood seeping from her arm.
He took off his coat and gently bandaged her wound, his movements careful, as if he would hurt her if he used the slightest force.
"It's nothing, just a scratch."
She comforted him, her voice trembling slightly.
Those armed men arrived out of nowhere and left suspiciously.
It seems that after achieving a certain goal
Just left.
"They're gone, so we're safe. Don't chase after them. We'll investigate when we get back."
The sky was as dark as ink, and the rain poured down, blurring the world into a hazy mist.
Seeing her shivering in the rain, he felt a pang of heartache and without hesitation bent down and gently picked her up.
She instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, pressing her face tightly against his chest, where she could clearly hear his strong heartbeat.
The rain hit them, instantly soaking their clothes.
He struggled forward in the rain, each step firm and steady, as if to shield the girl in his arms from all the storms of the world.
Raindrops slid down his hair and landed on her face, feeling cool.
She slightly raised her head, gazing at his resolute profile, the rain blurring his features.
Finally, the door to that warm home is within reach.
He quickened his pace, carried her into the house, and gently placed her on the sofa.
The two looked at each other, raindrops sliding down their cheeks.
"Mr. Fu, please put me down first."
Her voice trembled slightly, as if she had been frightened by his actions.
However, he seemed not to hear her words, continuing to hold her tightly, showing no intention of letting go.
As time ticked by, the atmosphere between the two became increasingly awkward.
Ye Xingran felt her heart beating faster and faster; she didn't know how to deal with this situation.
Finally, she took a deep breath and decided to take the initiative to break the deadlock.
"Mr. Fu, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
She tried to keep her tone calm, but you could still detect a hint of unease in it.
"it is good."
He let her go.
"I'll go find the first-aid kit and treat your wound."
She nodded
"Thank you, Mr. Fu."
He carefully lifted the clothes covering Ye Xingran's injured area, afraid of hurting her.
When the wound was fully exposed to him, he couldn't help but gasp. The wound was gruesome and visibly painful, and blood was still seeping out.
He quickly took out sterile cotton balls and saline solution from the first aid kit and gently wiped away the blood and dirt around the wound.
Then, he used tweezers to pick up a sterilized silver needle and, without hesitation, pierced the heroine's wound, carefully removing the bruises and impurities little by little.
During this process, the female protagonist trembled slightly due to the pain.
"I'll try to be gentle."
After treating the bruise, he carefully applied anti-inflammatory ointment to the wound and then gently bandaged it with gauze.
Throughout the process, his movements were skillful and swift, yet gentle and meticulous.
Finally, looking at his bandaged wound, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, "Okay, the wound has been treated. How are you feeling?"
"Mr. Fu, I feel so dizzy..." Her voice sounded weak, as if she would faint at any moment.
Seeing this, he quickly reached out and gently touched her forehead.
The moment he touched her, he couldn't help but frown—her forehead was unusually hot; she had a high fever!
She then fainted in his arms.
