The wavy red hair woman was laying in Shi Yan's arms. Her body was slightly trembling and faint choking sounds came from her mouth. However, as quickly as it came, her movements abruptly stops.
A dreadful feeling wash inside Yue Ling and she looks at Shi Yan.
"What happened? How did she end up like this?"
As she asks the girl, she quickly, but carefully pulls Qin Xue away from Shi Yan's arms. Gently setting Qin Xue on the ground, she checks for a pulse.
"A man… A man wearing a suit came in. I don't know what it was, but he injected something in her arm."
Shi Yan frantically tries to explain as best as she could about what happened.
Minutes before Yue Ling had entered the room, the man wearing a navy suit walked into the room.
He said he had long set his eyes on Qin Xue and wanted to drag her out with him. However, she put up a fight and protested against him.
Which only angered the man.
He then reached inside his pocket and took out what looked like a needle. Pressing Qin Xue onto the ground, he injected her arm to subdue her from fighting him.
However, the sound of gunfire outside the room and the window suddenly stops him.
She heard him mumble something but was not able to make out his words.
And quickly as he came in, he ran out of the room and locked the door.
After the man left, Qin Xue was fine and they hid under the window so they won't be seen, but all of a sudden, Qin Xue said she couldn't breathe then suddenly start shaking.
"I don't know what the man did. She was fine a second ago, then… then…"
In a panic state of mind, Shi Yan was unable to finish her sentence and began to cry even more.
Yue Ling listened to her every word as she continues to try and find out what is wrong with Qin Xue's condition.
However, in a quick second, her lips slightly press tightly together.
If her guess is right, the man must have injected some kind of drug inside Qin Xue.
Just as she thought this, from the light entering through the door, she could vaguely see that the red hair woman's complexion was turning light blue.
Even her fingers and lips were darker in color.
Failing to open Qin Xue's airways, Yue Ling takes a deep breath as she could only do another thing.
"Tian!"
She had no choice but to call for him as Shi Yan was not in the condition to do what she is going to ask.
Hearing his wife suddenly call his name, Lu Tian knew something must have happened.
He glares down at the injured man and turns away. However, he didn't forget to give a warning.
"Make a move and you're dead."
As he quickly enters the room, Yue Ling did not waste any time and gives him instructions.
"In the room two doors down to the left, there's medical equipment. Grab a clean tube, tape and a bottle of alcohol."
When she was checking the rooms, she by chance came upon it. One look inside and she could guess that must be where the enemy's infirmary.
Although it wasn't packed with medical things, it had enough to save a person's life.
Lu Tian had only appeared in front of the door when he heard her instructions. He doesn't enter through the door, but heads for the room his wife had mentioned.
In a flash of lightning, Lu Tian returns with the things she had asked for. He hands them to her and takes a step back to not get in her way.
Pressing his earpiece, he connects to Liu Shan.
"How far is the medical team?"
["Ten minutes."]
From the other line, Liu Shan answers as he had called for a paramedic team after calling Grandfather Ji.
Hearing her assistant's faint voice, Yue Ling's brows slightly furrow.
Ten minutes isn't long, but in a life threatening situation, anything can happen within that ten minutes.
Coming to a decision, she twist open the bottle of alcohol.
In a fast pace, she pours some liquid over her hands to sanitize, then she pours a little over Qin Xue's neck.
Taking her knife out, she quickly sanitize away any blood.
Holding the bottle of alcohol in one hand, she cuts the tube into a smaller length and inserts one end inside the bottle until it meets the remaining liquid inside.
Securing the tube and ring of the bottle in place with the tape, she held it between her thighs.
Leaning forward, her clean fingers reach to find Qin Xue's cricoid cartilage. Pressing the tip of the knife on the area, she steadily makes a half inch horizontal incision.
Setting the knife down, she pinch the incision with one hand as her other hand cautiously insert the other end of the tube inside the incision.
Within three seconds of the tube inserted inside, air traveled back inside Qin Xue as the woman gasp a mouthful of air.
Yue Ling breathes in a sigh of relief.
When she felt for Qin Xue's pulse, she notice that the woman was not dead. However, due to whatever drug was given to her, her body fail to function properly and blocked all her airways.
What she did was extremely risky and life threatening as one small mistake could end Qin Xue's life, but it was the only other way.
In her head, she thanked her paternal grandfather for teaching her the steps for this procedure.
"Boss!"
Suddenly, Lin Hui's voices calls out to her as he and Qi Li's figures appear at the door. Both men did not know what is going on, but one thing they know is, shoot first, ask questions later.
Turning to look at the two, Yue Ling felt even more relief seeing them.
The more people there were, the quicker they can rescue the women and Qin Xue can get to a hospital for proper treatment.
"Lin Hui, hold the bottle up. Keep them safe until the paramedics arrive."
Hearing her order, Lin Hui did not argue back but oblige. He rushes inside the room and takes the bottle from her grasp.
Yue Ling stood up and looks down at Qin Xue's figure. The woman was able to breathe again, but she is still unconscious due to the sudden shock.
Thinking back to what Shi Yan had told her, her bluish green eyes dimmed darkly, and she strides out of the room.
Seeing her figure leave the room, Lu Tian quickly follows, but pause in his steps by the door and looks at the glasses man.
"Everyone else should be arriving. Gather the women and get them safety."
Without waiting to hear a response, the aloof man continues in the direction his wife had gone.
He was surprise again when he saw her perform the emergency airway puncture.
It was something that no ordinary person can do without any medical training. However, the way she moved was enough to let him know that she had done this before.
