Chapter 244
Chapter 244: Rescue
It was already past midnight. Even though she was exhausted and tired, Shen Xiaoxiao was still waiting in the study, unwilling to leave.
The time that Feng Hao and Lei Lie chose was 3:30 in the morning. This was not only the time when people were most exhausted, but also the darkest time of the night.
“19, what time is it?”
19 did not need to look at the time to know that it was not more than two minutes. The Young Miss was getting anxious.
“Young Miss, don’t worry. Feng Hao’s movements are extremely fast. Lei Lie has internal martial arts. These two people’s skills are among the best in the Dark Empire. Other than Boss and you, no one is a match for them. Don’t worry, they will be fine.”
Shen Xiaoxiao knew that Feng Hao and Lei Lie’s skills were amazing, but she could not control the worry in her heart.
She sighed slightly and touched her stomach naturally. Nothing will happen. He would be rescued, right?
19 looked at Shen Xiaoxiao’s subconscious movements and frowned slightly. The Boss would definitely be fine. Miss and Little Master are waiting for Boss. The Boss would definitely be fine.
There was also Dark 1. He would be fine too. Yes, he would definitely be fine.
Time passed by minute by minute. Both Shen Xiaoxiao and 19 stared at the clock on the wall, not daring to miss a single step.
Ring, ring, ring…
The phone rang. 19 could not wait to pick it up. After a moment, he put down the phone and said to Shen Xiaoxiao with a face full of joy, “Miss, Boss has been rescued. They will be here soon. I will arrange for a doctor. Miss, do you want to rest first?”
“Has he been rescued? That’s great, that’s great. We have to arrange for a doctor? Is he injured? where is he injured?”
Shen Xiaoxiao had just heaved a sigh of relief and was extremely happy. When she heard that he was injured, her heart dropped again. In fact, she had long been mentally prepared. It was impossible for him to not be injured when he was captured by the Ouyang family. She just did not know where he was injured. Was it serious?
“Yun Qi did not say the exact details, but from his tone, it does not seem like he was seriously injured. Otherwise, his tone would not have been so relaxed.”
Although 19 spoke with relief, she was still worried about the truth. She had not seen it with her own eyes.
However, when she thought about how Dark 1 and Yan Kuan had disappeared, Shen Xiaoxiao could not help but ask, “Where is Dark 1? Has Dark 1 been found?”
Shen Xiaoxiao’s expression darkened when she saw 19’s face. Her heart paused. Could something have happened to Dark 1? As a secret guard, even his master was injured, let alone a secret guard? Nothing would happen, right? Then what should 19 do?
“There’s still no news of Dark 1 for the time being. He’s still missing, just like those dark guards who went missing previously.”
“19, don’t be anxious. When Yan Kuan returns, I’ll help you ask him properly. Dark 1’s skills are so powerful. Didn’t you say that even the most powerful of the Four Hall Masters, Feng Hao, is no match for him? He’ll definitely be fine. Definitely.”
19 forced out a smile and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Miss, I’m not worried. Dark 1 is so powerful. He taught me all my moves. He will definitely be fine. Let’s go over. They will be back soon.”
19 was avoiding Shen Xiaoxiao’s question. Perhaps 19 had already decided in his heart that as a secret guard and the number one secret guard by the Black Emperor’s side, if the Black Emperor was seriously injured, it would be very difficult for the secret guard to survive.
However, because he was worried about Shen Xiaoxiao, he did not want to reveal his worries. Shen Xiaoxiao did not know how to comfort him, so she could only stand there silently and not take the initiative to mention it. She was only waiting for Yan Kuan to arrive. She wanted to properly ask him what had happened.
Half an hour later, Yun Qi and the rest arrived. Feng Hao and Lei Lie were both injured to varying degrees, especially Lei Lie. The white bandage wrapped around his arm could still be seen with traces of blood.
Yan Kuan was carried on a stretcher. Not only was his clothes tattered, but his entire body was covered in bloodstains. It was as if he had been subjected to extreme torture.
His face was pale and there was a scar on his forehead. It was a shocking sight.
“Yan Kuan!”
Shen Xiaoxiao ran up anxiously and shook her head. He did not wake up and had fainted.
“What happened to him? What happened to him?”
“Sister-in-law, don’t be anxious. We’ve done a general examination and there are no internal injuries. They should be superficial injuries. Boss suffered some pain and fainted. The doctor has arrived. Let them do a check-up immediately.”
Yun Qi had always been like a military advisor. He hurriedly pulled Shen Xiaoxiao back, who was a little excited. He could not let sister-in-law get too excited. Moreover, Boss was not in any serious condition. These injuries looked scary, however, his Boss had been injured many times over the years. There were more serious injuries than this, so they were really not that worried.
It was already fortunate that he could be saved.
Shen Xiaoxiao also knew that she had lost her mind. Seeing that the doctor had already started to examine Yan Kuan, she calmed down and asked Yun Qi, “Where did you find him? The Ouyang family’s forbidden ground?”
“No, it’s in Ouyang Tian’s courtyard. He should have just been tortured. On the way to the forbidden area, he was stopped by Feng Hao and the others. The guards raised by the Ouyang family are indeed powerful. There are also death warriors. Moreover, they are really good at using medicine. If it wasn’t for Feng Hao and the others being prepared in advance, they might not have been able to save the Boss. They might have even died.”
“Are you saying that you stopped them on the way? What a coincidence!”
“Yes, we were indeed on the way. At that time, there were 20 guards escorting them. We were also shocked when we saw such a large group of people. However, they thought that we would be the same as the previous group of people, and that we would be able to solve it with knockout drugs. Unfortunately, they miscalculated and we were prepared. Otherwise, we might not have been able to succeed.”
Shen Xiaoxiao suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. If that was the case, it made sense. However, why did she feel that something was strange?
“What about Dark 1? Is there no shadow of Dark 1?”
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally would not forget her promise to 19. When 19 heard Shen Xiaoxiao’s question, he looked at Feng Hao with a face full of hope.
Feng Hao glanced at 19 and did not hide anything. “No, I think they are being held separately. We did not find anyone other than Boss.”
19’s dim gaze made Shen Xiaoxiao feel a little sorry for him. However, no news was considered good news. She believed that 19 would understand.
Moreover, the Dark Empire would not allow their brothers to be captured. Since they had saved Yan Kuan now, they would naturally save the other brothers when he woke up.
“19, don’t worry. After Boss wakes up, he will arrange for people to save the other brothers. No news is good news.”
“Miss, I know. Let’s go in. The doctor has finished his examination.”
Shen Xiaoxiao saw that the doctor had indeed walked out and hurriedly walked into the room. He had already been properly bandaged. Indeed, he only suffered some superficial injuries. However, the injury on his forehead was not good, and was about to leave a scar.
However, Shen Xiaoxiao felt that the man’s face was a little more heroic, wasn’t it? As long as he returned safely, that would be good.
The others were conversing at the side. Shen Xiaoxiao walked over and tucked Yan Kuan into the blanket. At the same time, she also took a look at the wounds on his body.
No one saw what Shen Xiaoxiao was doing. Therefore, when Shen Xiaoxiao’s gaze swept across Yan Kuan’s body, her hands that were holding onto the blanket had already frozen in mid-air…
