When Xie Limo opened the door and saw Qin Huailing, he was startled.
Looking at his arm, Xie Limo’s expression turned grave and said, “Come in.”
After Qin Huailing entered, Xie Limo looked around him and instructed his guards to stay extra cautious tonight. They mustn’t allow any suspicious person to come near the villa.
After entering the villa, Qin Huailing collapsed. His face turned pale, and he broke out into a cold sweat.
Xie Limo hurriedly examined him and asked, “What happened to you?”
With an ashen face and sweaty forehead, Qin Huailing panted as he answered, “I’ve been shot at my chest and my arm…” As he spoke, he almost passed out and even coughed out some blood.
He had gathered all his remaining strength to come here.
Xie Limo’s face turned pale too. He had never expected Qin Huailing to be shot. Even though they had been exceptionally careful, it still happened.
He had no choice but to reexamine the noble families’ powers.
Xie Limo hurriedly laid Qin Huailing down and took out the first aid box. He couldn’t help with much injuries except for gunshot wounds. It was the only thing he knew how to treat.
More than a decade ago, he was merely ten years ago when he was first shot. He had removed the bullet himself back then. The next few times that he got shot, he had also done the same. He had already grown used to it.
Xie Limo used a white cloth and pressed on Qin Huailing’s wound.
Qin Huailing was in excruciating pain, but he continued to clench his jaw and bear with it. “Xie Limo, you were right. Fortunately, no one knew that my legs had recovered. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to escape this time.”
Xie Limo asked solemnly, “If you had already been prepared, why did you still get shot?”
“I underestimated Yuan Shuangrui. She used her family’s power and even the strength of the assassins to try to silence me.”
Xie Limo spoke to him to distract him as he removed the bullet. “You’ve underestimated a woman. I’ve emphasized it to you so many times, but you’re still so careless.”
“Yes, but I didn’t expect it at all. She must have intended to murder me if she hired those assassins. Women can be really cruel if they want to be! My men have all perished.” As he spoke, Qin Huailing was seething with vengeance. His hatred for Yuan Shuangrui grew even deeper, and he was even more determined to destroy her.””
As Xie Limo was removing the bullet, a siren sounded outside. It blared and caused a period of disturbance.
Yun Bixue had been sound asleep and got woken up by the noise.
She sat up on her bed but didn’t see Xie Limo. Hearing the sirens, she knew that something must have happened. She opened the curtains and looked outside, only to see two police cars parked on the street.
Yun Bixue was surprised, so she left the bedroom immediately.
When she arrived at the living room in her slippers, she saw Xie Limo removing the bullets for Qin Huailing. A bullet was on a plate, and the ground was stained with a pool of blood.
Yun Bixue was instantly stunned. Looking at the blood, she felt an urge to throw up. Covering her mouth, she hurriedly rushed into the bathroom.
Xie Limo was worried about Yun Bixue, so his face turned even paler. His eyes were laced with concern for her. He hadn’t expected the sirens to blare and wake Yun Bixue up.
However, he couldn’t leave Qin Huailing now. There was another bullet to be removed.
Perspiration dripped from Xie Limo’s forehead. The bullet was lodged at a dangerous position in Qin Huailing’s chest, so Xie Limo had to remove it very carefully.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Yun Bixue tried hard to stop herself from throwing up. She washed her face with cold water to freshen up.
Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she told herself that she had to stay calm. She had to play her part.
