Li Qing Shuo had just returned from outside and his heart nearly leaped out of his chest when he saw this scene.
"Xia Xia." His eyes were about to split as he rushed over and, at the last moment, caught Yun Xia.
Jiang Nuan's eyes sharpened, and she kicked out.
"Bang..." The gun veered slightly, and the bullet hit Li Qing Shuo's arm.
"Mmm..."
Yun Xia heard Li Qing Shuo's muffled groan and looked up at him in shock, her clear pupils filled with astonishment.
She had taken a bullet for her, risking her life.
"Li Qing Shuo." Yun Xia looked at him nervously.
Li Qing Shuo smiled at her, his tone relaxed. "It's okay, Xia Xia, I'm fine. As long as you're okay!"
Yun Xia stared at his casual tone and then at his bleeding arm. He was feigning ease only to reassure her.
In all these years, aside from Meng Yuan and Jiang Nuan, no one had ever done something so selfless for her.
Yun Xia was so touched that tears welled up.
Li Qing Shuo held Yun Xia tightly in his embrace.
The pain in his arm surged, but he was still grateful that he had protected Xia Xia and the baby.
Jiang Nuan kicked the gun out of the man's hand.
A dark shadow flashed past the window. Jiang Nuan looked over, and the man standing by the window threw a black smoke bomb.
Jiang Nuan shouted, "Hold your breath."
Then she immediately shielded Li Qing Shuo and Yun Xia.
"Bang..." With a bang, the room filled with white smoke.
When the smoke cleared and the three of them recovered, the two men who had fallen were gone.
Jiang Nuan looked at Yun Xia and asked anxiously, "Xia Xia, are you alright? Are you injured anywhere?"
Yun Xia had been well protected by Li Qing Shuo. "Nuan Nuan, I'm fine. You and CEO Li are injured, let's go to the hospital."
Jiang Nuan glanced at her bleeding arm, then at Li Qing Shuo's injured arm, and said, "It's not safe to go to the hospital now. Let's go to Mu Jiu Chen's place. I can help Li Qing Shuo remove the bullet."
The people just now wanted Xia Xia's life.
These people were well-trained, not ordinary individuals.
Li Qing Shuo looked at Jiang Nuan, knowing that her identity was extraordinary, and trusted her judgment. He also understood Jiang Nuan's meaning – Xia Xia was still in danger.
He had been careless, thinking it would be safe here. He hadn't expected trouble to arise within two days.
Li Qing Shuo shielded Yun Xia as they got into Jiang Nuan's car. Chen Feng, who had been outside, had seen several dark figures darting in from the main gate.
Based on his past experience, he judged that something must have happened inside.
He had just reported the incident to Master when he saw Jiang Nuan, Li Qing Shuo, and Yun Xia getting into the car, covered in blood.
Jiang Nuan looked at Chen Feng and said expressionlessly, "Drive, quickly."
Chen Feng looked at Jiang Nuan, covered in blood, and was terrified, wanting to cry. How could his luck be so bad? Every time he drove Jiang Nuan out, she ended up injured. "Oh, oh!"
Chen Feng drove away quickly.
Li Qing Shuo's home was only a five to six-minute drive from Mu Jiu Chen's residence. Jiang Nuan wasn't worried about those people chasing them; if they failed once, they would just find another opportunity.
Chen Feng couldn't help but grumble, "Miss Jiang, are we incompatible? Why do you always get injured every time I drive you out?"
Jiang Nuan glanced at him sideways and smiled, "Perhaps."
Chen Feng: "..." That answer was enough to make him sad for a long time!
As she spoke, Jiang Nuan took out her phone and quickly typed in a string of data. A few minutes later, the surveillance footage near Li Qing Shuo's house appeared on the screen.
Jiang Nuan frowned, glancing at the route the two men had taken. They had climbed over the back wall of Li Qing Shuo's house.
There were a total of four men: one driving, two went in to kill Yun Xia, and another was on standby outside. Their coordination was seamless.
Jiang Nuan watched for a while but couldn't find any clues. When she looked at their escape route, the surveillance area had already been tampered with.
Jiang Nuan looked back at Li Qing Shuo, whose face was pale. "Li Qing Shuo, the people today were targeting the child in Xia Xia's belly. Do you have any enemies?"
Li Qing Shuo's expression turned grim. If he had to name enemies, he had offended many in the business world. He and Mu Jiu Chen, He Ming Run, almost monopolized the market in Jin City, and there were many who wanted them dead.
Li Qing Shuo thought for a moment and found no suspicious individuals. "I've offended some people in business, but those people wouldn't dare to act so openly."
"Then, what about Tang Ke Ke, as Meng Yuan mentioned?" Jiang Nuan's tone was very cold. If she had been a second slower today, Yun Xia would have been in real trouble.
Hearing Tang Ke Ke's name, Li Qing Shuo's face grew even uglier. "I'll go find her after I get my wound treated. She kept appearing in front of your villa before, with killing intent in her eyes. This matter is inseparable from her."
After speaking, Li Qing Shuo looked at Yun Xia apologetically. "Xia Xia, I'm sorry!"
Yun Xia shook her head slightly. "It's okay."
Yun Xia was worried about his hand injury. No one could predict such things.
They soon arrived at Mu Jiu Chen's house. Jiang Nuan told them to get out quickly. She took off her shirt, wrapped her wound, and then went upstairs to get the first-aid kit.
Carrying the first-aid kit, she went into the bathroom. Standing at the sink, she cleaned the wound on her left hand with iodophor. Looking at the torn flesh, she frowned slightly, sprinkled on some hemostatic powder, quickly bandaged the wound with gauze, and then changed into a different set of clothes from the wardrobe before heading downstairs with the first-aid kit.
Li Qing Shuo's bullet wound in his arm had been bleeding continuously.
Yun Xia was very nervous, and her stomach ached faintly, her face pale.
Jiang Nuan saw Yun Xia's complexion and her own changed. "Xia Xia, relax, take a deep breath."
Then, she handed Yun Xia a progesterone pill from the first-aid kit. "Take it quickly. Are you having stomach pains?"
Yun Xia nodded. "A little."
Li Qing Shuo looked at Yun Xia nervously and comforted her with concern, "Xia Xia, it's alright now. Don't think too much, everything will be fine with me here."
"Mmm!" Yun Xia took the medicine and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.
Jiang Nuan looked at the blood on the sofa and knew that Li Qing Shuo's injury couldn't wait any longer.
"Lie down," she ordered.
Li Qing Shuo did not move, still looking at Yun Xia, who had her eyes closed.
Yun Xia adjusted her breathing and opened her eyes, meeting his concerned gaze. She looked at him and said, "I... I'm alright now."
Only then did Li Qing Shuo lie down on the sofa.
Jiang Nuan asked a servant to find a suitable stool, and after cutting off Li Qing Shuo's sleeve, she began to clean the wound.
Jiang Nuan estimated the bullet's position in Li Qing Shuo's arm. She had experience with blind bullet extraction; it was not a problem.
After injecting Li Qing Shuo with anesthesia, her movements became even faster.
Li Qing Shuo's anesthesia only lasted a few minutes.
Jiang Nuan looked at Li Qing Shuo and said, "It will hurt a bit. Bear with it. Your body is not accustomed to large doses of anesthesia."
"Okay!" Li Qing Shuo could still endure it.
Jiang Nuan handed him something like a tree root to hold in his mouth, which would help him stay more alert.
Jiang Nuan, enduring the pain in her own arm, quickly picked up a scalpel to extract the bullet.
Jiang Nuan was highly focused, sweat beading on her forehead, large drops of sweat falling one by one.
When Mu Jiu Chen rushed in, he saw this scene.
