Yet before she fell asleep completely, she heard footsteps scuffling around in amidst her drowsiness. It did not sound like a person pacing around either. In fact, it sounded like a lot of people rushing here and there!
She frowned and cracked open her eyes.
As she sat up, the door was swung open.
Shi Yuting was carried into the room by Xiang Yi and another man.
What shocked Zuo Weiyi was that Shi Yuting was covered in blood…
That white shirt of his was stained crimson all over, not a spot of white was found.
Looking at the bloody person in front of her, Zuo Weiyi’s eyes widened, her heart was clenching in pain.
“Shi Yuting…” Her lips trembled, she could not believe that this was how Shi Yuting looked like after not seeing him for one night.
After placing the almost lifeless body on the bed, Xiang Yi quickly took out his phone and called Zhong Chenghao.
Zhong Chenghao was in a woman’s warm embrace when he heard the news. Even though he was on top of a woman, his eyes widened from the phone call, followed by him pushing away the woman and changing into proper clothes in a few minutes.
As for the lady who did not get satisfied, she sat up in annoyance. “Master Zhong!”
Bam!
When the door was slammed close, Zhong Chenghao’s figure was gone from the hotel room.
***
In the master bedroom, Zuo Weiyi was trembling at the look of Shi Yuting covered with blood. She was confused, only her chest was burning in unprecedented pain. Her heart was squeezing painfully.
“What happened… Shi Yuting…”
She walked to the side of the bed, tears streaming down her cheeks. She raised her hand, wanting to touch him, but when she saw the crimson shirt, she paused as if she did not want to hurt his wounds.
“What happened to him?!” She turned ahead toward Xiang Yi, who had just hung up the phone.
Xiang Yi glanced at her, a hint of self-blame appeared on his face.
“Mr. Shi was ambushed and shot.”
Shot…
Zuo Weiyi’s eyes widened as she looked at Xiang Yi in disbelief.
His gun wound, was it like those in movies?
It was real?
She turned her head and looked at the bloody figure. If it were not for his chest rising and falling, she would have thought that he was…
“Brother!”
The bedroom door was violently pushed open and Shi Nuannuan who received the news rushed into the room. As soon as she saw her brother covered in blood on the bed, she seemed dazed, and soon her tears came falling down.
“Brother… What… What happened to you… How did this happen…”
At the same time, Shi Nuannuan turned her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
“Xiang Yi, what happened to my brother?”
“I’m sorry, Miss. Mr. Shi was ambushed and shot, it is my failure as an underling…” Xiang Yi was heavily injured as well. His face pale, lips cracking dry.
Shi Nuannuan’s eyes widened, rage overwhelming shock.
She squinted. There were many people who wanted her brother’s life and it was because one, he was one of the members of the Shi family, and two, he was a presidential candidate.
“Who? Who did it?!”
“I think it’s Shi Tiannan’s underlings.”
As she heard that, Shi Nuannuan’s eyes widened in shock.
Shi Tiannan was the Shi family’s eldest son and her half-brother. They had the same father but different mothers, but he had no blood connection with her father.
It was him!
