The man in the black skull mask spoke, his eyes flashing with a ferocious, bloodthirsty light as his pointed knife moved forward.
Just as the pointed knife was about to strike He Mu, a powerful force kicked him directly in the abdomen, sending him flying out three meters away. He slammed hard into a coconut tree before stopping.
The moment the black skull man was kicked away, he felt a tearing pain in his abdomen, but he couldn't see who had struck the blow. He then collapsed.
A mouthful of hot blood surged from his chest and spilled from his mouth onto the white, fine sand.
When he finally focused his vision, he saw only a young lady dressed in a floral print dress.
The young lady stood quietly in place, her appearance pure and beautiful, her skirt swaying, unstained by even a speck of blood. If not for her cold, sharp eyes, he would never have connected her to the person who had just sent him flying.
After kicking the man away, Bai Xi immediately looked at He Mu, who was bleeding from his back, asking, "Dr. He, are you alright?"
He Mu looked at Bai Xi before him, his expression gentle and unconcerned. "I'm fine, it's just a superficial wound. Although I'm bleeding quite a bit, the wound isn't deep. I can feel it. Miss Bai, you seem to have gotten even stronger since the last time."
Bai Xi did not comment.
The first time she saw He Mu, she was disciplining a robber armed with a knife.
Today, she was dealing with a malicious attacker, a murderer.
Rather than saying she surprised He Mu with her skills, it was more that he surprised her with his composure, being so calm and maintaining a normal expression even in such a situation.
They say doctors are accustomed to life and death and need to remain emotionally stable. Over time, their psychological resilience becomes stronger than others, and it seemed to be true.
Since He Mu was not seriously injured, she nodded slightly at him as a reply and quickly walked towards Lin Yun, asking, "Mom, are you alright?"
Lin Yun looked at her daughter, her eyes filled with comfort and tenderness. "I'm fine, it's just... Dr. He, Dr. He was injured on his back by that person to protect me."
He Mu also walked over, his expression calm. "Madam, please don't worry, I'm fine."
Lin Yun was clearly still worried, especially as blood was still dripping from his back onto the ground onto his t-shirt. "How can you be fine? You've lost so much blood. Xi'er, we should take Dr. He to the hospital immediately."
Bai Xi frowned slightly and looked at He Mu, seeing the few dots of crimson on the formerly white and clean sand.
Indeed, He Mu needed bandaging.
However, given the current situation, she couldn't leave yet. The man in the skull t-shirt hadn't been dealt with completely. If she didn't handle him, more people would be in danger. "Dr. He, where is Xi Li?"
Xi Li's bus was parked in the parking lot not far away. If Xi Li were here, he could escort He Mu and her mother to find Xi Li. Xi Li could drive them to the hospital, and she could stay to deal with the remaining matters here.
He Mu replied, "Xi Li just said he was going to buy some drinks and hasn't returned yet. It probably won't be easy for him to come back now."
Bai Xi's brow furrowed again.
Indeed, with the commotion that had erupted, everyone was rushing outwards. It would be difficult for anyone to get in from the outside.
Otherwise, that mother wouldn't have been separated from her daughter and been unable to get over here.
He Mu's expression remained very steady. He looked at Bai Xi and said, "Miss Bai, I am a doctor, and I know my own condition very well. You don't need to worry. I'm really fine and don't require extensive treatment. Could you perhaps lend me the silk scarf from your neck?"
Bai Xi didn't know what he intended to do, but she still untied the silk scarf from her neck and handed it to He Mu.
He Mu took the silk scarf and wrapped it around himself twice, covering his wound. "The wound is not deep. As long as it stops bleeding and is disinfected later, it will be fine."
Lin Yun looked at the two of them, and in her daze, she seemed to see Bai Xi and Han Mo together again, her eyes welling up with tears.
Bai Xi's brow furrowed slightly at He Mu's actions.
In the Dark Division, when she was injured and couldn't get immediate medical attention, she would also handle it this way.
She had to admit that this Dr. He was becoming more and more different from what she had imagined.
Thinking of this, she looked at her mother again and saw her mother's reddened eyes, her heart tightening slightly.
Yes, Dr. He might be calm about this, but her mother must have been frightened. "Never mind, I'll escort you to Xi Li's car first. If he's not there, you wait in the car and be sure to lock the doors."
Xi Li's bus had two keys. One was with him, and the other was in a small lockbox installed at the front of the bus, as Xi Li had mentioned before.
Dr. He had an injury on his back, and her mother had an injury on her foot. She really couldn't abandon the two of them to search for those scattered, slashing men in black skulls.
Lin Yun felt slightly relieved when she heard Bai Xi was going to escort her and He Mu away. However, weren't there two other people who came out with them besides Xi Li? Thinking of this, a trace of anxiety appeared on her face. "Xi'er, where is Han'er?"
She knew Xi'er's skills and wasn't worried, but Han'er was different.
Although Han'er seemed fine after recovering from his illness, in terms of daily life, emotional intelligence, and IQ, he was even better than those who had no problems with their minds before. He had even started taking over the affairs of the Bai Group. However, due to the abuse from the old madam of the Bai family and the Bai Qian family, his health had always been weak. It had only been a few months, and he hadn't fully recovered yet.
If he encountered someone wielding a pointed knife like this, could he protect himself?
Thinking of this, the anxious expression on her face deepened.
Bai Xi frowned.
When she had seen the little girl hanging precariously between life and death before, she had instructed her brother to find a safe place to wait for her and then rushed over herself. She hadn't expected that there would be more than one man armed with a pointed knife... Where was her brother now?
Could he be in danger?
Thinking of this, her eyes involuntarily drifted to where she had separated from Bai Han earlier.
At this moment, that place was empty.
Frowning slightly, Bai Xi took out her phone, about to call Bai Han, when she saw Bai Han running towards them from not far away.
Bai Xi put down her phone. Not long after, Bai Han ran over, a thin layer of sweat beading on his fair forehead. "Little Xi, Mom, are you alright?"
Lin Yun relaxed with relief when she saw Bai Han was unharmed. "It's fine, Mom is fine. It's good that you're alright."
Bai Han looked at Bai Xi's furrowed brows and knew she was worried about him. He smiled and said, "Xi'er, I'm fine. I've already called the city defense forces. They'll be here soon. It's best that everyone is safe."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of sirens could be heard. At the same time, numerous people in city defense force uniforms, armed with shields and special security batons, surged forward with imposing momentum.
A series of shouts and calls also arose: "Catch him, quickly, catch him!"
"Stop, don't move, hands behind your head!"
"If you dare to move again, I'll shoot!"
"Stop, drop your weapons!"
"..."
All those voices represented the arrival of the city defense forces, who were now beginning to apprehend and control the thugs armed with pointed knives and wearing black skull masks.
