Chapter 162: Chapter 162: I will definitely fight her to the end, relentlessly.


Before Han Xi could finish speaking, she fainted completely; the fire beside her was still burning and appeared particularly glaring in this pitch-black night.


The helicopter and Lu Jinghan’s car arrived almost simultaneously. Seeing the raging fire inside, Lu Jinghan ignored Feng Yi’s attempts to stop him and rushed in frantically.


The fire inside was intense, smoke permeating the entire room. Lu Jinghan took off his jacket to cover his mouth and nose and shouted loudly, "Xiao Xi, where are you... Xiao Xi..."


The surrounding fire crackled as it consumed things, and Lu Jinghan’s heart was in his throat; he had never been as scared as he was at this moment.


He couldn’t bear to imagine how he would go on if he lost Han Xi.


Beside the fire, Lu Jinghan finally found Han Xi. He rushed over and tightly held the already unconscious Han Xi in his arms, refusing to let go even slightly.


As if the moment he loosened his grip, Han Xi would disappear.


When Lu Jinghan carried Han Xi out, rescuers also found Han Siyu inside, but her condition was much more severe than Han Xi’s; her face and body were covered with burn injuries.


Lu Jinghan took Han Xi straight onto the helicopter. Considering it was rush hour, driving to the hospital could result in getting stuck halfway. Han Siyu was also carried onto the helicopter.


Looking at the woman in his arms, Lu Jinghan saw her wrist skin was scraped off, revealing bloody flesh beneath; there were still wet blood stains on the back of her head, and there were burn marks on her leg as well.


Thinking of the cruel ordeal Han Xi went through, Lu Jinghan felt a pain so intense it seemed to suffocate him.


This was even harder to bear than losing his own life.


The helicopter landed on a lawn not far from the hospital, where Chen Zheng and the other medical staff were already waiting.


Upon hearing the news of Han Xi’s accident, Chen Zheng’s heart was in suspension; he sat restlessly and anxiously.


After getting off the helicopter, Lu Jinghan handed Han Xi to the medical staff, staying close without ever letting her leave his sight again.


For the first time, Lu Jinghan feared losing someone this deeply.


Han Xi and Han Siyu were pushed into the operating room simultaneously; Lu Jinghan uneasily sat on a corridor bench, resting his arms on his long legs. His thick, short hair was a bit disheveled, and his hands were stained with Han Xi’s blood.


Beside him, Feng Yi took a cigarette box from his pants pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and handed it to him, "Don’t be too nervous, Han Xi will be okay."


Lu Jinghan took the cigarette Feng Yi offered and fumbled for a lighter, trying several times but failing to light it until Feng Yi helped him light the fire.


Lu Jinghan bit down on the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, inhaled deeply a few times, as the crimson sparks flickered at his fingertips.


Waiting was the longest torture; amid the swirling smoke, Lu Jinghan’s deep dark eyes showed his anxiety and unease.


Every second now felt like a century to him.


Just then, Feng Yi called Li Manman and Fu Bin to inform them. Upon receiving the call, Li Manman was stunned; once she gathered herself, she hastened over.


Li Manman and Fu Bin arrived at the hospital one after the other. After Feng Yi roughly explained the situation, without Fu Bin and Feng Yi’s restraining her, Li Manman would have stormed into the operating room to kill someone.


"That venomous and heartless snake of a woman truly acts beyond sanity. If anything happens to Xiao Xi, I will go to the ends of the earth with her, never resting until one of us is dead."
