Huo Yulin squeezed a smile. He could sense blood rising up in his throat, but he suppressed it. “I won’t pass out just yet.”
“Stop talking already.” Lei Xiao placed Huo Yulin’s arm on his shoulder, but inadvertently sensed something damp and sticky on his sleeve. The moment he felt it, he became even more worried.
When Huo Yao had told him about this, she briefly explained Huo Yulin’s situation to Lei Xiao.
Huo Yulin had just suffered a fatal gunshot wound. A week ago, he had undergone surgery and barely managed to survive.
Lei Xiao only dared to support Huo Yulin by the waist and made Huo Yulin lean against him. He did not touch him randomly out of fear that he might hit Huo Yulin’s injuries.
Before long, the lift got to the underground parking lot. He did not bother to check for surveillance and anxiously helped Huo Yulin to walk.
His phone suddenly rang in his pocket.
Lei Xiao was busy trying to help Huo Yulin, so he was unable to answer it right away. There were signal jammers in the institute, but it did not cross his mind why the call could get through.
After they finally got to his car, Huo Yulin could no longer stand steady and nearly fell onto the ground.
Lei Xiao was stunned. He opened the car door as he struggled to support Huo Yulin.
Fortunately, no one else was in the parking lot. After some time, he finally placed Huo Yulin into the back seat and let him lie down.
Huo Yulin had already lost complete consciousness.
Lei Xiao was startled. He hurriedly checked Huo Yulin’s carotid artery. His pulse was so weak that it was nearly undetectable.
Lei Xiao quickly took off his jacket and placed it on Huo Yulin. He hurriedly got into the driver’s seat and drove off.
When they left the institute, Lei Xiao finally took out his phone and checked it. It was Huo Yao, so he quickly called her back.

She almost instantly answered it. He said nothing and a cold female voice could be heard coming over the phone.
“Turn left at the junction, drive for 200 meters and pull up. I’m here waiting for you.”
“Okay. Got it.” Lei Xiao automatically nodded the moment he heard the directions.
Lei Xiao stepped on the gas immediately. Two minutes later, he could see a young woman standing by the roadside with a black car parked nearby.
Lei Xiao quickly drove over in front of her.
Huo Yao placed her phone back in her pocket. When Lei Xiao’s car came to a full halt, she took two steps forward and opened the back seat door. She got in quickly, closing the door behind her.
“Follow the car in front,” said Huo Yao without so much as raising her head.
Her voice sounded calm, but Lei Xiao could sense she was not happy, so Lei Xiao automatically cringed.
Lei Xiao touched his nose nervously. He veered his eyes and acknowledged her instruction. The black car had already started its engine, so he stepped on the gas and followed behind quickly.
Huo Yao sat in the backseat with Huo Yulin. After taking his pulse, she pulled up his jacket and saw the medical protective gear under his clothes. It was already drenched in blood and felt jarring to her eyes.
She could tell that his wounds had split open and it was bad.
Huo Yao narrowed her eyes in concern. As she pondered, she carefully lifted Huo Yulin’s clothes. She could see the bandage on his chest. The blood had already dried up and turned brown.
Huo Yao inhaled deeply and quickly retrieved her silver needles. She proceeded to apply them to a few acupuncture points on his chest.
After applying the needles, she did not remove them. She proceeded to press a few other acupuncture points so that she could stabilize his condition and keep him alive.
A small glass vial slid out from Huo Yulin’s coat pocket and fell on the car floor.
