“Kid, go home. Don’t be afraid.”
Xia Ning purses her lips. She grits her teeth and tells the duke what she is afraid of most, “Duke, you don’t know. If I go back, they will have the danger of losing their lives.”
The duke feels slightly shocked to hear her words. He thinks for a while. Then, he says, “Tang is not an irrational woman. I know her well. She will never do that to you. As to the man behind her…” The duke pauses for a second, “It is even more impossible. It is totally impossible. Except Tang and her man, who involved in the event hates you most? In my opinion, this is not a simple case. Kid, you left your home in this way. I am afraid that you have fallen into someone’s trap. Now, those who are in danger may be your friends.”
Hearing what the duke says, Xia Ning feels shocked. She stands up at once.
If what the Duke says is true, those people actually wanted to make her leave!
“God. I am so stupid! I may go back now.”
Then, Xia Ning turns around to leave.
“Wait.” The duke stands up, “Kid, let me get you a ride. It will take you quite some time walking back from here.”
Xia Ning thinks for a while and nods, “Then, thank you, Duke.”
The Duke drives a black car of the Audi brand. This kind of car is very popular in C City and doesn’t attract any people’s attention. It is easy to tell that the duke is deliberately hiding his identity.
There is still some distance to Zhou’s Villa when the car stops.
“Kid, do you remember what I said? No matter what will happen in the future, don’t ever make concessions. Or, both your family and your friends will suffer more. It is unfair to them.”
Xia Ning nods, “Duke, I see. In the future, if anything happens again, I will think carefully over before I take any actions.”
The duke nods, “Commander Yi is an excellent man. I believe he will protect you all your life. So, don’t worry. You will be fine as long as you stay with him.”
Xia Ning feels very surprised that the Duke knows Yi Yunrui!
Seemingly, Commander Yi is much more famous than she imagines.
“Hum! I know.” At this moment, Xia Ning instinctively feels that she is the happiest woman in the world, because she has married to the most excellent man.
She says goodbye to the duke and gets off.
Xia Ning looks at the Zhou’s Villa from far away. She takes a deep breath and makes up her mind.
From now on, she will never escape again.
Xia Ning steps forward to go across the road.
The duke quietly looks at Xia Ning. Some emotions wave inside his heart. He tightly clenches his hands.
Ning looks like Annie very much.
Suddenly, the duke freezes his face. He cries, “Ning, watch out!”
Hearing the duke’s cry, Xia Ning stops at once. She turns to look and sees a black car coming directly to her!
It happens so suddenly that Xia Ning forgets to take any reactions!
Xia Ning widens her eyes. She stares at the car rushing towards her…
At the time, she is hit by someone and flies away in the next second.
When she falls to the ground, Xia Ning remembers her baby, she subconsciously holds out her hand to press on the ground to slow down the falling speed of her body.
Her hand feels cool and then her body heavily falls down on the ground. At the same moment, Xia Ning glimpses someone roll on the road and stops with a lot of blood around…
It is the man who saved her just now!
Xia Ning ignores her wounds and pain. She hurriedly runs to the man. When she sees the man’s face, she feels worried and cries, “Gu Luan!”
Blood sprays out from Gu Luan’s body and wets his face. He slightly opens his eyes. When he sees Xia Ning crying, he gives a sigh of relief, “You…are fine…”
“I am fine. I am fine.” Xia Ning holds Gu Luan’s hand. She feels so painful as if her heart is cut. She says, “Gu Luan, why are you so stupid? Why did you…Oh…
Gu Luan feels a great pain. His breaths become weaker and weaker. At this moment, he feels he is so close to death as if once he closes his eyes, he will leave this world forever.
However, Xia Ning is here crying so bitterly. How can he bear to leave her? He takes a deep breath and collects his strength to say, “Don’t cry…You are pregnant…It is bad for the baby…”
It is getting bright. The car accident on the road attracts a lot of people to come.
Xia Ning holds Gu Luan’s hand and cries in tears. She turns to the people around them, “Please help to call the ambulance. Please.”
Some of the people around take out their phones and quite some of them are busy taking photos.
Xia Ning looks at the people who are taking photos. At this moment, she clearly understands how indifferent people can be.
At the time, she hears the propeller and the wind is so strong that she can hardly open her eyes. Xia Ning lifts her hand and finds a helicopter coming slowly to them. It lands not far away.
“Help to get that kid into the helicopter. Send him to the hospital.”
The duke’s voice is heard from behind. Soon, some people run to them together with the people getting off from the helicopter. Some of them are doctors.
Under the instructions of the doctors, they put Gu Luan on a stretcher and take him into the helicopter.
Xia Ning goes after them worriedly. Then, the helicopter is slowly leaving the ground.
The doctors are carrying out first aid measures. Xia Ning tightly holds Gu Luan’s hand, “Luan, don’t die. If you dare to die, I will hate you all my life!”
Gu Luan slightly opens his eyes. He opens his mouth and murmurs, “Ning, …sorry…”
Sorry?
Xia Ning feels confused. She holds his hand more tightly, “I don’t know what you have done. However, because you are sorry to me, you have to stay alive. Or, I will definitely never and ever forgive you!”
Saying this, Xia Ning sobs. Tears go out of her eyes like water out of a broken dam.
“Miss, your hand is scratched. Let me treat it for you.” One of the doctors says.
Xia Ning shakes her head, “I am fine. Please take care of my friend first. Thank you.”
Xia Ning’s hands are covered with Gu Luan’s blood. She trembles. Suddenly, she has something in her mind.
Can there be anyone … operating everything behind?
After a few minutes, Gu Luan is sent to the hospital and the light of the operation room is turned on. Xia Ning waits in front of the operation room. She feels so worried that she walks around.
“Miss, can I treat your wound now?”
Xia Ning feels a little surprised to hear the words. It is still that doctor. She nods, “Doctor, I am pregnant. I can’t take any medicines.”
“Oh. You are pregnant. Well. Let’s just do some simple treatment.”
The light of the operation room is on for a long time. Xia Ning sits in front of the room for a long time, too. She feels very worried.
Gu Luan, don’t you die. Don’t you die…
Time goes away second by second. To Xia Ning, it feels like many centuries have passed. She walks around in front of the door of the operation room, feeling as worried as if her heart is on fire.
At the time, some people in police uniforms come over there. The leader of them goes directly to Xia Ning, “I am Team Leader Li from the police station. Are you Xia Ning?”
Xia Ning nods. She thinks that the policemen come here for the car accident. She says, “Yes. Sir, I know that you are going to take me to the station for an inquiry. However, my friend is still in the operation room. Whether he can survive or not is to be known. I am worried about him. Can you please wait for a little while? After my friend comes out, I will go to the police station at once…”
“Sorry, Miss Xia. I am afraid that we can’t agree. It is about a death case. So, please go with us now.”
Death case?
Xia Ning feels confused for some seconds, “What death case?”
The leader hesitates for a while. He glances at the others and then turns to Xia Ning, “Miss Xia, do you know Zhou Mengyao?”
Xia Ning feels an ominous feeling in her heart. She nods, “Hum. Aunt Zhou is very kind. I know her.”
“In the early morning today, Zhou Mengyao was found drop dead in her office. As told by the guard, you went to her office last night. So, you…”
“What?” Not waiting for Team Leader Li to finish his words, Xia Ning cries in a distorted voice, “What do you say? How is Aunt Zhou?”
Drop dead?
What does he mean by Drop Dead?
Team Leader Li finds Xia Ning emotional. He hesitates for a little while, “Miss Xia, please go with us to the police office.”
“No. It is not true. What did you say? What happens to Aunt Zhou? What did you mean by Drop Dead? Can you tell me clearly?”
Team Leader Li frowns, “Miss Xia, I am sorry. Zhou Mengyao was confirmed to be dead at seven five this morning. My condolences.”
Xia Ning feels shocked. She looks at Team Leader Li in disbelief.
Aunt Zhou…is dead?
No. It is impossible!
How can that be possible?
“No. It is not true. You lie. It is not true!” Gu Luan is still in operation. Zhou Mengyao is confirmed to be dead. The shocks come successively. Xia Ning can’t take them for an instant, “Aunt Zhou is such a nice person. How could she die suddenly? You lie. You lie to me! No. Where is Aunt Zhou? I want to see her. You must be lying!”
Team Leader Li finds that Xia Ning loses control of her emotions. He winks at the other men. They surround to Xia Ning and suddenly catch her.
Team Leader Li frowns tightly. He hesitates for a little while and then takes out a document, “Miss Xia, I am sorry. This is the warrant of arresting. Please cooperate and go with us to the police office for inquiry!”
When Xia Ning sees the words warrant of arresting, in an instant, she feels confused.
The policemen take the chance. They escort her to go out of the hospital and get in the police car.
A black Audi car is not far away. When he sees that Xia Ning is escorted to get in the car, the duke tightly holds the walking stick in his hand.
“Master, shall we follow them?”
The duke looks grey with anger which tends to explode anytime.
He has seen a lot of dirty things. But Xia Ning is just a woman. She is as pure as a white paper!
He forcefully hits the stick and says word by word, “All those people, I won’t let any of them get away from this!”
“Yes, master!”
