Chapter 76
Ye Jinmeng and Xu Wanwan were running towards the gap in the steel fence that they could sneak through. Xu Wanwan was describing the general situation to the operator, while Ye Jinmeng was reporting their location to Shi Shuning in real time.
Just then, a bright light flashed in Ye Jinmeng's eyes. When he looked again, he saw that the blood-soaked man was rushing at Xu Wanwan's back with a dagger stabbed down.
"Ah! Wanwan! Watch out..."
Without thinking, Ye Jinmeng seemed to have exploded with tremendous energy. He grabbed Xu Wanwan's arm and pulled her behind him.
Xu Wanwan, who was on the phone, was not aware of the danger at all. Before she could react, a strong force jerked her to the side. Then, the sound of metal piercing flesh entered her ears.
Some warm liquid splashed on her face.
"Ugh..." Ye Jinmeng's muffled groan reminded Xu Wanwan of what had happened in that instant. Looking up, she saw the dagger pierce Ye Jinmeng's chest.
"Mengmeng!!" Xu Wanwan immediately supported Ye Jinmeng, her eyes full of red.
The ferocity on the man's face increased. With a flick of his wrist holding the dagger, the icy blade sprayed out bright red blood.
"Ah..." The intense pain made Ye Jinmeng scream. He no longer had any strength and collapsed on the ground.
"Ah! Mengmeng..." Xu Wanwan knelt on the ground, letting Ye Jinmeng lean against her. She pressed hard on his wound with both hands, as if trying to stop the blood from flowing out.
But soon, bright red blood soaked more than half of Ye Jinmeng's clothes and her hands.
"Heh, the park is so big. You have only yourselves to blame for wanting to come here. Don't blame me for being ruthless!" The man said viciously. He raised the bloodstained dagger again and stabbed at Xu Wanwan.
In a flash, a slender shadow ghosted past like a phantom. With one kick, the man was kicked over.
Hearing the girl's exclamation over the phone, Shi Shuning did not know how frightened he was. Seeing the blood-stained girl lying in Xu Wanwan's arms, he felt as if his world had collapsed.
After kicking the man over, He Junting immediately turned around to check Ye Jinmeng’s injury. He kicked the fallen dagger away and subdued the man.
"You take Mengmeng to the hospital first, leave this place to me."
Shi Shuning took off his shirt and pressed it on Ye Jinmeng's wound. He carried up Ye Jinmeng, whose face was pale, glared fiercely at the man lying on the ground, his eyes flashing coldly.
If he was not in a hurry to send Mengmeng to the hospital, he really hated that he could not kill him immediately!
Thanks to the huge gap in the steel fence, Shi Shuning easily kicked it open with one kick. Carrying Ye Jinmeng, he ran towards the parking lot.
Luckily, there was an exit very close to the parking lot here. Xu Wanwan sat in the back seat, letting Ye Jinmeng lie on her lap. With Shi Shuning’s shirt in her hands, she pressed tightly on the wound. Ye Jinmeng's lips trembled in pain.
Seeing Ye Jinmeng's bloodless little face, Xu Wanwan finally could not help crying.
"Mengmeng... Why are you so silly Mengmeng! Why did you take the knife for me? I'd rather be the one injured..."
Tears fell one by one on Ye Jinmeng's face. Ye Jinmeng tried hard to open his eyes and said with great difficultly:
"Wan...wan... Don't...cry. I said... I would protect...you...for life..."
"Wuwuwu... Mengmeng, no, I don't need you to do this. I want you to be okay."
"Don't...worry... I'll be...fine... Just...too painful...Hard to...breathe..."
"Hold on, we're almost at the hospital. You must not fall asleep Mengmeng..." Xu Wanwan held Ye Jinmeng tightly in her arms, afraid that his body temperature would drain away.
Shi Shuning did not dare be distracted. He drove the car as if it was going to take off. Fortunately, there were no red lights and little traffic on the way. In less than 8 minutes, they arrived at Haicheng First Hospital.
Carrying Ye Jinmeng, he rushed into the emergency room.
"Doctor! Doctor! Quick, save him!"
Seeing the incoming blood-stained person, the hospital nurses immediately put him on a stretcher, asked Shi Shuning and Xu Wanwan briefly about the patient's condition, and pushed him into the operating room.
Ye Jinchen, who had just ended a meeting, felt his eyelid jumping badly. Before he could even take a sip of water, he received Shi Shuning's call and drove to the hospital in fright, scared out of his wits.
Ye Junli and Gu Qi who were singing karaoke with the Shi couple received the call. Having experienced storms before, they looked worried but still calm and steady.
The Shi couple also went to the hospital along with them after seeing this.
He Junting also arrived at the hospital very soon after handling things with the police.
A group of people waited outside the operating room. Ye Jinchen and Ye Junli roughly understood what had happened from Xu Wanwan.
Shi Shuning was squatting bare-chested on the ground, glancing at the operating room from time to time. He kept scolding himself in his heart. Why did he go to play shooting? If he had stayed by Mengmeng’s side, would this have happened!
He Junting handed him a shirt and motioned him to put it on.
Then he looked at the blood-stained Xu Wanwan squatting opposite.
Xu Wanwan's body trembled. She bit her lips tightly, trying hard to control her tears from falling.
He Junting walked over and comforted gently, "Don't worry, it'll be alright."
Xu Wanwan looked at him, her trembling lips opened slightly, "It's all my fault. I wish it was me who got stabbed. If I had reacted a little faster..."
"It's okay Wanwan, don't blame yourself," Gu Qi walked over, hugged Xu Wanwan's shoulders and said, "If you were injured, Mengmeng would probably feel even more guilty. No matter who of you is injured, the one to blame should be the person who hurt you, not yourselves."
Xu Wanwan could no longer hold back. She buried her head in Gu Qi's arms and cried softly.
"I'm sorry, auntie."
Her daughter was seriously injured, and her heart must be worried sick, yet she had to comfort herself instead. She felt truly sorry.
Shi Shuning who was squatting suddenly stood up sharply, as if wanting to rush out, but was stopped in time by Shi Ze.
"Where are you going!"
"I'm going to kill that bastard!" Shi Shuning's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was going to destroy the heavens and earth the next moment.
Ye Junli also rushed over to stop him, sternly saying, "Don't be impulsive. If you go kill him and get locked up, how heartbroken would Mengmeng be when she wakes up and can't find you! What you should do is to stay by her side!"
My precious daughter is injured. If revenge is to be sought, it should be done by me as her father. What is a child like you getting all worked up for.
Meng Xiao hurriedly pulled her son to sit down, "Your uncle is right, you can't get into trouble. Before doing anything rash you have to think of Mengmeng."
Shi Shuning clenched his fists tightly. Right, for Mengmeng's sake, he could not be impulsive. He had to stay by Mengmeng’s side.
