Chapter 617 - Wounded
Chapter 617: Wounded
Jing Yiran had not been cultivated by Jing Zhongxiu as the heir of the Jing Family, but he received as much education as he should. Mo Lan had hired many teachers to give him knowledge about different fields, and although he had never attended any formal lessons, he went through enough experiences after he grew up. He was fairly familiar with poisonous gases.
He instantly understood that something was wrong with just one inhale, and then he heard Tang Shunian’s sound of running away.
Within a few seconds, the entire room was thronged with a white gas, and nothing could be seen clearly.
Jing Yiran rushed to the door, following the path as he remembered it. He swiped the code breaker and opened the door.
In the meanwhile, a gentle woman’s voice arose in the room.
Everyone outside the door heard the line “Your room will be bombed automatically, please confirm.”
Two voices shouted loudly and simultaneously.
“Confirm!”
“Shoot!”
After Tang Shunian shouted “confirm”, he slipped through the security gate that was large enough to hold only one person. Immediately, the bullets from outside the door fell on him like raindrops!
The best snipers did not need to see the target to tell the location, only the sound would be enough.
But the bullets did not hit accurately, because it was impossible to tell in which posture the target was standing at the moment.
Standing outside the door, Jing Yiran could see nothing due to the white gas filling the room. Tang Shunian’s scream could be heard for a moment before everything was silent.
When his men cleared the poisonous gas out, Tang Shunian was nowhere to be found.
Jing Yiran became furious and barked. “Search for him! He is wounded and can’t have gone far. Bomb all the passages, and find out which direction he is running in.”
…
In the cellar which was dimly lit, Shangguan Ning held Jing Yichen in her arms as tears trickled down her cheeks.
“Yichen, let me see how badly you are injured. Let me bandage you up.”
That’s what she said, but she did not have anything to dress his wounds with.
Her clothes, compared to Jing Yichen, had been clean. But now, they were blood stained too. There must be bacteria on them and she did not dare use them.
Since it was summer time, she only had a t-shirt on her and no other layer.
Jing Yichen was covered with blood. His handsome face was filthy and his clothes were soaked with all kinds of things.
Shangguan Ning had never seen Jing Yichen in such a mess and so weak.
He seemed to have used up the last bit of his strength, and was now breathing feebly, lying in her arms.
Standing around them, firmly, Lu kicked away everyone who came near them. She was like a robot, tireless and expressionless.
Tiger had passed out finally. He had been seriously influenced by the drug and wanted to attack Jing Yichen, who punched him away and pushed him under the bodies of dead men.
Jing Yichen had used this method before. Although it felt terrible to be buried under these bodies, it was the best way to dodge these crazy men.
Jing Yichen could hear Shangguan Ning’s words, and could feel her warmth. But he had become totally exhausted and the strong drug in the air had affected him badly.
He felt assured when Shangguan Ning and Lu were both here.
As long as Lu was here, the number of the enemies was not a problem. Even if she was threatened with a gun, she would not lose.
She had broken through mankind’s limitation and could act at a high speed. Those who had guns in their hands normally died before they were able to reach her.
Jing Yichen had been feeling miserable and disgusted, soaked in blood.
But lying in Shangguan Ning’s arms appeased him and he even ignored the terrible environment. He only cared about Shangguan Ning who was here suffering with him.
Shangguan Ning’s heart ached when she failed to receive Jing Yichen’s response. If she had not felt his heartbeat and breath, she would have become agitated.
She wiped Jing Yichen’s face with a corner of her top and started to examine the wounds on his body.
Shangguan Ning turned pale when she saw him properly.
Jing Yichen was covered with wounds of different sizes, some shallow, some deep, the deepest one exposed his bones!
He had continued fighting with those crazy people when he was so badly injured.
Shangguan Ning really wished that she could turn into a second Lu and kill the rest of the men.
She had been slightly wounded when the bomb went off in the cellar a minute ago. But she did not care about her injury. She was ready to pull the trigger of her gun if anyone tried to hurt him.
Luckily, Lu was capable enough to toss away everyone who approaches them.
After resting for a while, Jing Yichen recovered a bit and opened his eyes, slowly.
Seeing Shangguan Ning’s worried look, he forced a smile and consoled her gently. “I am fine, most of this is others’ blood. I just feel very exhausted after killing too many people. I need to go home and eat something good, then I will be fine.”
Hearing him talk, Shangguan Ning felt happy and relieved. She said, “Don’t talk, okay? We can leave in a minute. Of course, you will be fine!”
She was not stupid enough to not realise that most of the blood on him was his own.
He told her those things just because he did not want her to be worried.
Tears had made her eyes swell up, but she was still trying to control her emotions and said in a calm voice, “Dad is outside, he will be here soon. He has brought doctors with him.”
Jing Yichen knew his exact condition at the moment. He might have lost blood, but he was not in any fatal danger.
He was not worried about himself or Lu. He was just worried that Jing Yiran might not be able to catch Tang Shunian, since he was too tricky a man to be trapped.
Tang Shunian was sinister, and even dared to lay his eyes upon Shangguan Ning. He could not be allowed to live any more!
