Jian You didn't believe it at all. Given the direction and where he lunged from, combined with the speed of the gunshot, he shouldn't have been able to dodge it.
Jian You felt for his back, unable to rest, and sure enough, her hand quickly found a damp patch.
She dared not look, for she knew it must be blood...
"I... I'll take you... to the hospital."
With just a few words, Jian You could hear her own choked, trembling voice.
She couldn't think of anything else. Her small hand reached under Xuan Mohan's arm, trying to help him up, but perhaps due to her panic, her body felt a little weak.
Just as she was at a loss, Normanis arrived with his men.
His sharp eyes scanned the chaotic and dangerous scene before him, maintaining constant vigilance.
But fortunately, Qi Jiayou was there to draw fire, so for now, no one could focus solely on them.
His first priority was his precious one: "How are you? Are you hurt?!"
Jian You looked at him with a complex expression, but she didn't have time to say much. "Get Xuan Mohan out of here first, he's injured!"
Normanis nodded with a grim face, then turned to instruct his men to protect Jian You, before supporting Xuan Mohan and hurrying towards a safe area.
...
Ke Ye, who had retreated from the field, glared at the pair supporting each other with violent eyes, feeling agitated.
He swiftly loaded his gun, keeping his gaze fixed on the opposite side, searching for a suitable moment.
"Young Master, we should retreat. They are watching too closely, we can't..."
"Shut up!"
Before the bodyguard could finish speaking, Ke Ye cut him off with a cold shout, his expression terrifyingly grim.
If he couldn't kill Xuan Mohan, he would kill the person he loved!
He wanted Xuan Mohan to taste the bitterness of a broken heart. Moreover, given that woman's unique status, there were only two outcomes: if he couldn't have her... he would destroy her!
"But... they came prepared, we can't hold on much longer..."
This was why he had to persuade his young master. This struggle was much more difficult than they had anticipated, simply because of the unexpected additions and the gathering of S City's finest youths, not to mention... Normanis's presence...
However, Ke Ye, having been suppressed by Xuan Mohan and the others for so many years, was not someone who would easily retreat.
During his feint, he had already prepared an escape route. Therefore, as soon as he made his move, he immediately dashed towards the location he had planned. This was why he was able to escape in front of everyone.
Even so, he did not escape the ruthless shot of a bullet.
This was within his expectations; the possibility of escaping unscathed from these few individuals was almost zero.
But this did not mean he would give up!
Just as Ke Ye was about to push forward, his bodyguard suddenly remembered something, his face turning ashen. "Young Master, it seems one of the Four Young Masters is missing. Since they were prepared, they must have arranged for people on the periphery as well."
And most likely, Lu Haoran was leading the men to surround them outside, waiting to catch them in a trap... No, waiting to apprehend them!
Prompted by his bodyguard, Ke Ye also slowly calmed down and reconsidered the situation.
"Shit!"
Ke Ye glared angrily at the man who was gradually moving away. After a moment's hesitation, Ke Ye immediately ordered a retreat. However, as soon as they made their move, a group of people rapidly approached from behind...
He quickly turned his head and, seeing the man leading the group, he let out a sigh of relief.
The newcomer, dressed in green, was steady and capable. He was addressed as Uncle Feng at home and had been brought up by his father since he was young, making him the person his father trusted most.
His arrival signified his father's intentions.
Indeed, after Uncle Feng arrived, without any hesitation, he directly led Ke Ye in another direction, with heavy escorts behind them...
This also completely put him at ease. He had truly been wondering if his father would abandon him, but then he thought that he still had some use...
However, he was bound to be reprimanded upon their return. It was always like this; regardless of whether it was his fault or not, if the mission failed, he was considered useless...
Seeing them escape, Qi Jiayou and the others pursued them victorously, and just outside, they encountered Lu Haoran, who was heading their way.
"They brought more people than I did, and they seem to have been paying close attention to this area..."
As soon as they met, Lu Haoran said with a dark expression.
Qi Jiayou nodded, his gaze constantly surveying the surroundings.
If it had only been Ke Ye, they would definitely have captured him today. But with a powerful force behind him, the breach at the school was inevitable.
They would likely be returning disappointed today.
"Spread out. Even if you can't catch them, at least gather some clues..."
"Okay, stay in contact!"
In just a short exchange, a tacit understanding was formed between the two.
If before, they had no idea who they were dealing with and couldn't find a breakthrough, now that the fish had shown themselves, it would be much easier...
Meanwhile, Normanis had already gotten into the car with Xuan Mohan. Jian You followed behind. Their car moved unimpeded, the school gates already wide open, and the green light for the hospital had also been cleared.
Initially, Xuan Mohan tried to comfort Jian You, but later his consciousness began to blur. However, he still tightly gripped Jian You's soft, boneless hand.
Although relying on the little woman alone might have a high chance of catching the perpetrator, he was unwilling to let her take even the slightest risk. No one knew how painful and frightened her heart had been when she had to handle everything on her own.
This anxiety was more unbearable than being shot himself, so he had no regrets at all, except... for making the little woman worry.
It was just that... seeing how worried the little woman was about him, why did he feel so happy...
Heh heh~
Compared to Xuan Mohan's fearlessness, Jian You's heart was heavy.
Ever since Xuan Mohan lost consciousness, vines of fear had been entwining her, making it difficult to even breathe, her heart feeling like it was suffocating. She continued to hold the man...
Normanis, seeing his daughter's fear, quickly tried to comfort her, "Don't be afraid, he'll be alright..."
Seeing his precious daughter care so much about another man, it was only natural for Normanis to feel a pang of jealousy, but he also understood Xuan Mohan's intentions.
Sigh~ Never mind. They genuinely loved each other, and Xuan Mohan had protected his beloved daughter at the risk of his own safety. What more could he say? He should be happy that one more person doted on his daughter...
Thus, Xuan Mohan unknowingly won over his future father-in-law, surpassing Qi Jiayou and taking the position of son-in-law first.
