Chapter 299: Chapter 299 Brother-in-law is not to be messed with
“Ah!”
Tang Sirou screamed in fright.
Lou Ziang’s raised left hand was shot, leaving a bloody hole!
Blood instantly drenched him!
She was the closest to him, and the blood that sprayed out instantly splashed on her face.
Lou Ziang only felt an intense pain sweeping over him, and the controller in his hand immediately fell to the ground.
The black-clad bodyguards beside him, just about to react, fell one by one to the ground.
The scene suddenly became chaotic!
Jiang Yan reacted quickly; the moment the controller fell from Lou Ziang’s hand, he dashed over at top speed.
With a side roll, he picked up the controller from the ground.
Captain Xing had been hiding behind, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Thus, in the moment Wu Lei fired his shot, he charged forward, but still, Jiang Yan was a step quicker.
Lou Ziant’s men were also armed, but they had no chance to react before being hit by the sniper in the air.
Lou Ziang, clutching his incessantly bleeding left hand, glared at Jiang Yan with a venomous and ferocious look.
But the situation had already sealed his fate; he had lost.
Captain Xing quickly took control of him.
“Everyone, stop!”
Captain Xing shouted loudly at the group of black-clad bodyguards who tried to rush forward.
Soon, the sound of police sirens rose over the sea, and the cruise ship was surrounded.
Blood was splattered everywhere on the deck.
For Tang Sirou and Xu Xinyi, witnessing such a scene for the first time, both were so frightened that they squatted on the ground with their heads buried between their legs, hands covering their heads.
The situation was quickly brought under control.
The police also came to take Lou Ziang away.
The moment Lou Ziang was handcuffed, he looked towards Jiang Yan with a somewhat sinister and eerie smile, “The gift I have for you is still to come.”
Jiang Yan just slightly furrowed his brow and did not speak.
“All right, stop your nonsense!” Captain Xing gave him a brief glance and then signaled to his colleague: “Take him away and keep a close watch.”
“Understood, Captain Xing.”
Captain Xing turned to Jiang Yan, Su He, and Gu Beiyan, saying, “Don’t worry. Jiang You and the little one are both fine; neither of them are hurt.”
At that moment, a police officer turned to Captain Xing, pointing at Tang Sirou and Xu Xinyi, and asked, “Captain Xing, what about these two?”
Captain Xing just glanced briefly at them and said, “Take them down together!”
“Received.”
“No, you can’t take me away.” Tang Sirou was somewhat panicked as she defended herself, “I have nothing to do with this. I was forcefully brought here by Lou Ziang, I had no idea at the beginning.”
Seeing her say this, Xu Xinyi hurriedly explained as well, finally realizing the seriousness of the situation.
She definitely did not want to go to jail.
“This matter has nothing to do with me either. I was used by that man. That man deceived me, I don’t even know his real name, and I didn’t know he was so cruel.”
Captain Xing’s expression was stern as he said solemnly, “Whether you are involved or not, someone will investigate clearly. The police will not wrongly accuse any innocent person.”
“…”
At two in the morning, the cruise ship docked at the port.
One by one, the people on the ship were taken down and placed in police cars.
Next, the women and children hidden on the cruise ship by Lou Ziang were brought down.
Su He and the others also left the ship.
But just then, from the group of children, one child suddenly ran towards Su He.
Most people are generally not guarded against children.
Su He looked at the little boy who suddenly stood in front of her; he seemed to be about six or seven years old.
“Little boy, what’s wrong?” Su He asked gently.
“Auntie, I have something I want to tell you, can you squat down a bit?” the little boy said.
“Okay, you say.”
Su He also squatted down.
But the next second, someone suddenly shouted, “Watch out!”
The little boy in front of her suddenly pulled out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed Su He’s chest very quickly.
Su He, having no preparedness, couldn’t dodge in time.
The dagger instantly plunged into her chest.
Bright red blood instantly spilled out.
Jiang Yan and Xing Siyang, who stood not far aside, couldn’t react either.
“Susu!”
After they reacted, they stepped forward in one stride.
The little boy seemed frightened, and after stabbing, he just slumped to the ground.
Su He frowned slightly, a trace of surprise flashing in her eyes.
She indeed hadn’t anticipated that one day she would be injured by a child.
Jiang Yan immediately picked her up.
The man’s face turned grim, his dark, sinister eyes fixed on the knife stuck in her chest, the cloth instantly stained red, and he panicked, his eyes reddening.
Holding her tightly, he didn’t dare to delay a single moment and hastily left the scene.
He even didn’t bother about the child who had stabbed Su He.
This scene was unexpected for everyone.
Who would have thought that a child would be so bold as to do such a thing.
In the crowd, Su Baobao and Jiang You, who had been waiting at the dock, came over after hearing they were back, only to witness this scene.
Su Baobao, seeing Su He injured, was instantly scared into tears.
“Mummy!”
He broke free from Jiang You’s grip and ran over.
But his little body could not catch up with Jiang Yan’s pace.
By the time he reached them, the car had already left the dock.
“Whoo… Auntie, take me to find Mummy…” Su Baobao’s eyes welled up with tears as he looked at Jiang You who had caught up.
“Good boy, don’t cry, don’t cry, auntie will take you there now,” Jiang You, also frightened by Su He’s injury, reassured him.
This was the first time she saw him cry so heartbreakingly.
Even though the little guy had been kidnapped so many times, he had never cried.
So she knew he must have been really scared just now.
Soon, Gu Beiyan drove over and said, “Get in.”
In the car.
Jiang Yan’s brow was tightly knitted, as he looked at Jiang Feng in the driver’s seat and said in a deep voice, “Drive faster!”
He was trembling even as he spoke, afraid, a tremendous sense of fear even arising from the depth of his heart.
Su He was not unconscious, she was still lucid.
She could feel his tension and anxiety, and how he held her, trying to be firm but scared to exert too much force, his whole body stiff.
She reached out, touched his cheek, and said, “Don’t worry, I’m okay, and it doesn’t hurt.”
Jiang Yan looked down at her, her current pallor somewhat white, which did not look like she was alright.
Moreover, the knife was stuck right at the position of her heart.
Knowing he wouldn’t believe her, she added, “I really am fine, the knife didn’t hit anything vital, it’s just a bit too much blood loss.”
“I don’t think I’ve told you before, my heart is actually on the right side, not on the left.”
Most people’s hearts are in the left chest cavity, but a small number of people’s hearts are in the right chest cavity.
So, the knife did not hit her heart.
She wouldn’t be in life-threatening danger.
At most, it was just a bit of suffering.
That child was probably arranged by Lou Ziang, but he didn’t anticipate that her heart was on the right instead of the usual left side.
Hospital.
When they first arrived at the hospital, Su He had already fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss.
Su He had just been rushed into the operating room when Gu Beiyan and Jiang You arrived with Su Baobao.
“Daddy, where is Mommy?” The little guy looked at the man standing at the operating room door, his eyes moist.
Jiang Yan only came back to his senses after hearing his voice.
He was covered in Su He’s blood, so it wasn’t convenient for him to hold him.
He squatted down halfway, lifted his hand to touch his face, and said, “It’s okay, the doctors are treating Mommy’s wounds inside, she will be out soon.”
“But I saw Mommy bleeding a lot,” the little guy said with a crying tone.
“Yes, there was a lot of blood loss, so, after Mommy comes out, you need to remind her to drink soup every day, to replenish the blood she’s lost and she will be fine.”
“Okay!”
The little fellow nodded vigorously.
An hour and a half later, the operating room door finally opened.
The little fellow, who had been asleep in Jiang You’s arms, suddenly woke up.
As if by some instinct.
Afterward, Su He was moved to the ward.
“Sister-in-law is fine, don’t worry, it’s just excessive blood loss,” Xiao Si patted his shoulder.
“It was really a false alarm, thankfully, her heart isn’t on the left side, otherwise, it would have been more than just excessive blood loss.”
“By the way, I heard from Old Gu that a child stabbed sister-in-law. Are children nowadays that strong?” Xiao Si wondered aloud: “He could stab so deeply and even so accurately.”
The dagger that was stuck in Su He’s left chest was aimed to take her life.
He would never believe it wasn’t a premeditated act.
Jiang Yan’s eyes flickered with a cold light, but he said nothing.
Then he looked at the person on the hospital bed, his gaze immediately softening.
“When will she likely wake up?”
“In a couple of hours,” Xiao Si said. “Don’t be too worried, she’s fine. You should also get some rest.”
…
The next morning, Su He woke up.
“Mommy, does it hurt?”
“Should baby blow on it, will that help?”
After Su Baobao was taken home by Jiang You last night, he woke up early in the morning, skipped breakfast, and insisted Fei Yue bring him to the hospital.
Upon seeing Su He, he just wished to cling onto her.
But worried about accidentally touching Su He’s wounds, he was always extremely careful.
Su He sat up in the bed, watched him standing beside the bed, and pinched his little cheek with her right hand.
She seemed to have heard him calling her the previous night, probably he saw her.
“Mommy isn’t in pain, don’t worry.” She patted the quilt, smiled gently and said, “Come here, let Mommy give you a hug.”
If it were before, Su He wouldn’t have hesitated to say this to him, and he would have climbed up without a second word, but now that she was injured, he dared not.
Su He saw his worry, “Don’t worry, it won’t touch Mommy’s wound.”
Even if it did, it wouldn’t matter; she couldn’t feel the pain.
“Come on up, it feels like Mommy hasn’t hugged you for a long time, weren’t you going to blow on it? If you don’t come up, how can you do it?”
Su Baobao hesitated for a second, then took off his shoes, climbed up efficiently using a stool.
His tiny body lay on Su He, but he also avoided the area of the wound.
Then, he really started blowing on her wound with his little mouth.
Suddenly, lifting his little head, staring at Su He, he said, “Mommy, I’m sorry.”
“Hmm?” Su He looked puzzled: “Why are you saying sorry to Mommy?”
The innocent voice of Su Baobao carried a tone of self-reproach, “If I hadn’t run off, the bad guys wouldn’t have taken advantage. If baby hadn’t been taken away, then Mommy wouldn’t have come back, and if you hadn’t come back, you wouldn’t have been injured.”
Su He’s nose tingled slightly, then she smiled and comforted him: “It has nothing to do with my baby, we can’t predict when the bad guys will act, so if not this time, it could have been another time. Besides, these events were caused by some nefarious people, and it has even less to do with you.”
“And besides, Mommy has a duty to protect you. If you care about Mommy, then you should eat well, grow up quickly, and then you can protect Mommy in the future, okay?”
Su Baobao opened his arms, hugged her waist tightly, and nodded heavily: “Okay! Then later on, I will protect Mommy, and baby will also earn lots and lots of money for Mommy to spend.”
“Okay.”
Su He raised her hand and rubbed his little head.
“Oh, right, Mommy, there’s one more thing.” Su Baobao suddenly remembered something about Fei Yue.
“Sure, tell me, mommy is listening.”
“Mommy, can you please ask Daddy not to punish Sister Fei Yue?”
“Fei Yue? What happened to her? Didn’t she just bring you here?”
“Last time Sister Fei Yue didn’t keep an eye on me, I’m worried Daddy will punish her.” The little one pouted, “But Sister Fei Yue is innocent.”
“What are you talking about?”
Before Su He could speak, Jiang Yan’s voice came from behind.
Mother and son both looked up at him.
“Daddy, you’re back~” The little one called out obediently.
Jiang Yan was still holding a thermal bag, he had just met Uncle Zhong who came to deliver breakfast in the hallway outside the ward.
“Yeah, Uncle Zhong said you came here without breakfast, hurry down and eat something.” Jiang Yan looked down at the little one.
Su Baobao uttered an “oh,” then swiftly got out of bed, put on his shoes, and sat down next to the coffee table.
Jiang Yan took out his breakfast and placed it in front of him, “Eat up.”
Then, he took another lunch box and walked over to the bedside.
“You don’t need to feed me, I can eat by myself,” Su He said.
Her injury was on the left, she could still use her right hand.
Jiang Yan ignored her words, picked up a spoon next to him, and began to feed her.
This was a Chinese yam and red date glutinous rice porridge made by the chef on Uncle Zhong’s orders, nourishing blood and qi.
“Be obedient, open your mouth.”
“…”
Su He couldn’t resist him and let him be.
After a few bites, she asked, “I heard you’re going to punish Fei Yue?”
The little one sitting quietly eating breakfast at the coffee table perked up his ears when he heard this, but didn’t dare to look, and could only bury his head eating while eavesdropping.
The man was silent for a few seconds, then slowly said, “What happened?”
Su He glanced casually at the little one by the coffee table and smiled, “Nothing much, just a little one who can’t bear to see his Sister Fei Yue punished, asked me to inquire.”
Although Su He didn’t explicitly plead, Jiang Yan understood the implicit plea in her words.
“Okay, I understand.”
Su Baobao listened intently but didn’t hear Jiang Yan mention not punishing.
So, he directly pretended to be curious and asked, “Daddy, what do you know?”
Jiang Yan turned and looked at him, asking back, “What do you want me to know?”
His little head thought for a moment and he said, “Mommy asked Daddy not to punish Sister Fei Yue.”
“…”
At noon, Xing Siyang, along with Su Zhimian and Sang Luo, came to the hospital.
Su He didn’t let anyone tell Jing Xuan, as she was pregnant and didn’t need the extra worry.
Besides, she wasn’t in much trouble.
“I’m really fine, you two don’t have to look at me with that concern.” Su He felt somewhat uncomfortable under Su Zhimian and Sang Luo’s intense gaze.
Su Zhimian was distressed but also a bit angry; he had heard it all from Xing Siyang.
The dagger was aimed at her heart, it was an attempt on her life.
“Su He, you’re usually so vigilant, if it weren’t for your heart being on the right side, I’d be staring at a cold corpse right now!”
Su He: “…”
“Don’t glare at me, am I not telling the truth?” Su Zhimian looked at Jiang Yan, who was glaring at him, then scolded him further.
“She’s right by your side, and you still let her get into trouble, I should have made her divorce you, then she wouldn’t have gotten involved with the Lou Family people!”
Jiang Yan: “…”
Forget it!
This brother-in-law is not to be messed with!
