The smell of blood.
A thick smell of blood!
The moment the master bedroom door was opened, Li Qianfan immediately caught the scent.
This meant that the woman who had quietly snuck into the master bedroom under the cover of night was either covered in fresh blood or had sustained injuries herself.
As the door opened, the figure in black immediately flashed inside.
The instant she entered the room and closed the door, Li Qianfan could faintly see the dark silhouette stagger slightly and even let out a soft groan.
"She's injured."
Li Qianfan understood immediately.
But he became even more curious about who this injured woman could be.
Why, when she was injured and her condition was quite serious, would she still force herself to sneak into his home?
Since the other party was already injured, Li Qianfan was no longer bothered with feigning sleep. He reached out and turned on the bedside lamp.
He wanted to see who this woman really was.
The dark room was instantly illuminated.
After closing the door, the silhouette, who had been heading towards the bed in the dark, immediately stopped and closed her eyes instinctively, her eyes stimulated by the light.
Li Qianfan saw a face with bloodstains at the corner of her lips and a pale complexion.
"Pai Pai. How could it be you!?"
Upon seeing this face, Li Qianfan gasped in surprise.
The woman who had snuck into his home under the cover of night was none other than Dai Pai Pai, whom Li Qianfan both loved and didn't know how to address.
"Dad—"
The moment Dai Pai Pai opened her eyes, her gaze was sharp. She uttered the word in a hoarse voice, but could no longer hold on. She slumped towards the ground.
"Pai Pai!"
Li Qianfan pressed his right hand on the edge of the bed and sprang from it, lunging towards Dai Pai Pai, catching her in his arms just before she hit the ground.
He stood up abruptly, holding Dai Pai Pai horizontally, and anxiously asked, "Pai Pai, what happened to you? Why are you here?"
Dai Pai Pai didn't speak, her eyes tightly shut.
She had already fainted.
Li Qianfan quickly held her wrist and felt her pulse. His heart sank.
Dai Pai Pai's injuries were severe.
Or rather, she had lost a lot of blood.
Li Qianfan could precisely determine from her pulse that if not for some incredibly strong belief that had been supporting Dai Pai Pai, she might have collapsed halfway there.
The powerful belief that kept Dai Pai Pai from collapsing was that she absolutely had to see Li Qianfan!
Now.
Dai Pai Pai had finally seen Li Qianfan. With no need to fight to hold on any longer, all her nerves instantly relaxed, and she instantly fell into a deep swoon.
Li Qianfan quickly began to examine her injuries.
Her back.
A short knife was embedded in Dai Pai Pai's back.
The knife had almost no hilt!
Fortunately, the short knife was about three inches away from her heart, so she didn't die on the spot.
But it had caused her to bleed profusely.
Dai Pai Pai's martial arts skills were currently quite formidable.
Yet she had been injured.
Most importantly, Dai Pai Pai had no opportunity to stop and bandage her wound, and could only grit her teeth and endure to find Li Qianfan.
This was enough to prove that those pursuing her were no ordinary individuals!
Who had stabbed her?
Why did they stab her?
Where was the person who stabbed her?
Where did she come from, and other questions, Li Qianfan had no time to consider. He picked up his phone and called Luo Huayin: "Come to the East Wing quickly, I need your help here!"
Without waiting for the groggy Luo Huayin to respond, Li Qianfan dropped his phone, picked up Dai Pai Pai, and turned to leave.
By the time Luo Huayin, barefoot, and Ma Rongna came rushing to the East Wing, Li Qianfan had already placed Dai Pai Pai in the guest room on the first floor.
Luo Huayin had been rescued in this very room after being ambushed by Ye Qingfan.
At that time, Su Xin had specifically switched on the bright lights to facilitate Li Qianfan's rescue of her.
Even the first-aid kit and other supplies were still here.
"Who is she?"
"What happened to her?"
"How could you undress another woman without my permission?"
"Nephew, are you trying to cuckold me?"
"If you really can't take it, you can borrow Nana's mouth."
"It's not like I disagree—"
As Luo Huayin ran in, she began to babble incessantly.
In contrast, Ma Rongna, after subtly pursing her lips, opened all the first-aid kits for Li Qianfan with the utmost speed.
Li Qianfan ignored the little fox who was talking nonsense.
He simply instructed the more reliable Ma Rongna: "Nana, find me supplies for a blood transfusion. She's lost too much blood, I need to give her a transfusion quickly."
After saying this, Li Qianfan suddenly felt an indescribable sense of helplessness.
As early as the night of the Lantern Festival, Li Qianfan had performed surgery on Su Nanyin while simultaneously transfusing a full thousand milliliters of blood to her.
And now again tonight!
What made Li Qianfan even more helpless was that both the blood transfusion on the night of the Lantern Festival and tonight's were related to Dai Pai Pai.
"Could Miss Pai Pai be a reincarnated vampire? And one who specifically drains my blood."
Li Qianfan mused internally, but his hands didn't stop at all.
While transfusing blood to Dai Pai Pai, he also removed the short knife and quickly stitched the wound.
Ma Rongna was greatly shocked to see Li Qianfan both transfusing blood and treating the wound simultaneously.
Luo Huayin, on the other hand, was excited and quickly took out her phone to film.
Then she posted on her Moments with the caption: "Let everyone broaden their horizons and see what a true divine doctor is!"
This person's head is definitely not right—
As blood flowed into Dai Pai Pai's veins, a hint of color began to return to her pale face, while Li Qianfan's complexion grew paler.
However.
Compared to the time on the night of the Lantern Festival when Li Qianfan was transfusing blood to Su Nanyin while stitching her wound, Li Qianfan's workload tonight was significantly reduced.
After all, Dai Pai Pai only had a single stab wound, at most a few centimeters long.
Unlike the queen's child's provisions, which were almost completely severed, with a wound over ten centimeters long.
Especially since that area absolutely could not be left with a scar, so Li Qianfan had to be extremely careful when stitching.
Dai Pai Pai's case was much simpler.
Ding dong.
The doorbell at the entrance of the Li family's courtyard was rung.
"Who is it?"
Ma Rongna immediately stepped out of the living room and stood by the door, asking loudly.
"Open the door!"
A man's low voice commanded from outside the door.
As it was late at night, the surroundings were quiet.
So even though Ma Rongna was standing by the living room door, she could clearly hear the sounds coming from outside the courtyard gate.
Before Ma Rongna could say anything else—
She heard someone outside impatiently say: "The trail of blood disappears at the entrance of this house. The woman we were chasing must have climbed over the wall into this place. What's the point of a door? Just climb over, find her, and kill her!"
Then.
Ma Rongna saw a dark silhouette flash and appear on the top of the wall.
Ma Rongna exclaimed in alarm: "Who are you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
The person who said this was not the dark silhouettes who had climbed over the wall, but Luo Huayin, who had rushed out of the guest room.
"Go and help your aunt's husband. Leave the matters outside to me."
The moment Luo Huayin said the word "husband," she had already leaped towards the black figures who were rushing in, her feet bare.
She also shouted: "Trespassing on private property in the dead of night, attempting to assault a virtuous woman, death!"
Ma Rongna turned and rushed into the living room, immediately taking out her phone and starting to make calls for reinforcements.
After the Ma family collapsed, Li Qianfan had reaped immense benefits from it.
He felt that he couldn't treat his brothers poorly, so he had invested funds to purchase properties on Jinling Road for Gao Lingwang and others as well.
Currently.
Half of the members of the Dark Blade's second team lived in Modu.
When something happened at Li Qianfan's place in the middle of the night, how could Ma Rongna not call them?
Alas.
Those black-clothed pursuers of Dai Pai Pai had truly terrible luck.
After chasing Dai Pai Pai all the way here, they had no thought in the dead of night to inquire whose house it was, and recklessly climbed over the wall.
And then they encountered—
Luo Huayin, who had finally fully recovered from her injuries, had recently gained weight due to Nana's exceptionally delicious cooking; and who was going mad from boredom due to having nothing to do.
The three black figures were greatly alarmed.
They had never dreamed that a master would suddenly appear in this household.
And one who, besides Li Wujiang, looked down on no one else!
However, these individuals, who could chase Dai Pai Pai all the way here, were certainly not to be trifled with.
Luo Huayin fought one against three, shouting with exhilaration, and quickly gained the upper hand.
Thump thump thump!
The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
Immediately after, several dark figures leaped down from the wall one after another.
It was Gao Lingwang and the others.
After receiving Ma Rongna's call, Gao Lingwang, Qin Zhou, and a few others who lived not far from Li's house immediately rushed over.
Luo Huayin shouted: "Gao Lingwang, you are not allowed to interfere! This little aunt wants to use these criminals who trespassed on private property and attempted to assault me, an innocent woman, for practice."
Who dared to cause trouble here—
Tie Yuan's words were immediately stillborn, along with Luo Huayin's next exclamation.
This little fox was not someone Tie Yuan could afford to offend.
Anyone who defied her wishes would absolutely not have a good outcome.
All Gao Lingwang and the others could do was guard the wall and the gate, preventing the three unlucky black-clothed figures from escaping.
While a fierce battle raged outside.
Li Qianfan sat beside Dai Pai Pai, watching the blood flow through the tube into Dai Pai Pai's veins.
Seeing his complexion grow increasingly unwell, Ma Rongna, who was very worried about him, quickly sat behind him and held him in her embrace.
This way, even if Li Qianfan felt dizzy due to excessive blood loss, he wouldn't have to worry about losing his balance.
"Little Uncle-in-law, that's about it. If you transfuse more blood, you'll be in danger."
Ma Rongna glanced at Dai Pai Pai, who was lying on her side, and whispered a reminder to Li Qianfan.
Mm.
It was indeed about time.
Li Qianfan nodded, and Ma Rongna quickly removed the needle.
"Ah!"
Another scream echoed from outside.
Haha—
Luo Huayin's triumphant laughter followed: "To break your legs and arms! This is the consequence of you daring to trespass on private property in the dead of night and attempting to assault me, an innocent woman! Old Gao, tie them all up. This little aunt wants to interrogate them overnight, you audacious pests!"
Gao Lingwang and the others finally found their use—
Half an hour later.
Li Qianfan, who had to lean on Nana's embrace due to excessive blood loss and had taken a short nap, covered the still-unconscious Dai Pai Pai with a blanket. Then, supported by Ma Rongna, he walked somewhat unsteadily into the living room.
Gao Lingwang, who had been waiting for him by the living room door, quickly walked in.
Li Qianfan sat on the sofa, took the cup of water handed to him by Ma Rongna, and after drinking a few mouthfuls, immediately felt his spirits improve.
"Qianfan."
Gao Lingwang said, "The three people outside are all from the Island Province."
"People from the Island Province?"
Li Qianfan frowned: "Why were they chasing Dai Pai Pai?"
"They said—"
Gao Lingwang said slowly, "Dai Pai Pai assassinated six Xuanmen masters from the Island Province, including Cai Wangzu."
