After an unknown amount of time, someone arrived and rescued Meng Jingwei and Xiao Cheng.
The rescuer was Song Ci. Upon seeing Xiao Cheng, he aimed his gun, intending to eliminate him.
However, Meng Jingwei reached out and stopped him, "He saved me."
Song Ci frowned, finding Meng Jingwei too sentimental. "Young Madam, not killing him now will lead to endless trouble later."
"Then wait until he has recovered and left. Do whatever you wish then!"
She tilted her head, looking at Xiao Cheng lying on the ground. Her delicate brows furrowed, her expression incredibly complex. "But for now, no one can touch him!"
Her tone was commanding, leaving no room for argument.
Song Ci clenched his fist, both angry and annoyed. He finally let out a cold snort and waved his hand, signaling the bodyguards behind him to take the people away.
Everyone safely returned to the Xishan Villa. Everything inside was undisturbed. It seemed that whoever had broken in couldn't find the person they were looking for and thus didn't linger, leaving the villa undamaged.
Back at the villa, Meng Jingwei was taken to the bedroom to rest.
Daisy came over with a medical kit and asked Meng Jingwei, "Your left arm is injured. The bullet needs to be removed. Do you need... anesthesia?"
She worried that Meng Jingwei couldn't endure the excruciating pain of flesh being torn.
Meng Jingwei, her face pale, lay on the bed, looking at the ceiling, and shook her head, "No need."
With a child in her womb, anesthesia would cause significant harm to the baby.
"Alright, then bear with it."
Daisy sat beside her and began to clean the wound, remove the bullet.
The process was naturally painful, but Daisy only saw Meng Jingwei's brows tighten, her small face tense, her pearly white teeth clenched, yet she didn't hear a single sound of pain from her.
Her immense endurance and astonishing willpower were truly beyond Daisy's expectations.
This was the first time she looked at the young girl with newfound respect.
She was truly worthy of the praise their teacher always bestowed upon her in front of everyone; she indeed had the qualifications.
The bullet was removed, the wound stitched, medication applied, and bandaged, all completed quickly.
Meng Jingwei was already drenched in sweat, her entire body soaked, her lips as pale as paper.
"It's done. You should rest well."
Daisy removed the stained and bloody垫子 beneath Meng Jingwei, stood up, and began tidying things up, preparing to leave the bedroom.
Meng Jingwei immediately asked, "Where is Ah Ye? Why hasn't he returned yet?"
It had been a full five hours since they left in the afternoon.
She still hadn't heard any news from Qing Mu Ye, nor had she seen Old Shen Tou or Tang Si.
Her heart was filled with a growing sense of panic and worry.
A flicker of an unusual expression crossed Daisy's eyes. She lowered her head and patted away non-existent dust from her clothes, saying, "It was a fierce battle, fought from the hotel all the way outside. Then they drove away, and the pursuit continued until they reached an unknown location. However, the hotel caught fire, and many police and firefighters were dispatched. Because someone was suppressing the news from above, all the injured and deceased were recorded as casualties of the fire."
To avoid unnecessary commotion and public panic, the casualty figures were also inflated.
After all, someone had handled the aftermath at the scene. By the time the police arrived, there were very few people.
Meng Jingwei, only worried about Qing Mu Ye's safety, immediately pressed further, "Did they make calls? Can they be contacted?"
Daisy shook her head, "No, they can't be contacted. No one can be reached."
This made Meng Jingwei even more uneasy. She immediately sat up from the bed, "If they can't be contacted, what about your people? Can't they be contacted either?"
"My people said they only saw a few cars speeding away from the underground parking lot, chasing each other. It was impossible to tell who was inside. However, Qing Mu Ye and Tang Si were nowhere to be seen at the scene. So, you don't need to worry."
Not seeing them was the best news.
