"That so, what a shame. We'll have to escort you then."
Andre finished speaking and signaled to the three people beside him to restrain Shen Yao. He then prepared to apprehend Mo Chen.
Just now, he had suddenly recalled why Mo Chen looked so familiar. It turned out to be that person!
However, before he could get far, he heard the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground behind him, followed by Faimon's scream.
Andre turned around and saw three people lying at Shen Yao's feet. She had one foot on Faimon's chest, her stick raised high, ready to strike.
Andre's eyes widened, and he quickly charged forward, "No!"
Unfortunately, he was too far away. Shen Yao's stick had already come down.
With a dull thud, Faimon's head was split open by Shen Yao.
Shen Yao hadn't intended to kill him initially. After all, this was a society governed by laws. But she had no choice. The way Faimon looked at her and the things he said just now...
Every word made her feel disgusted. She didn't want to be wronged, so he had to suffer.
"You're seeking death!" Andre's voice was filled with hatred. He looked at Shen Yao as if she were already dead.
Seeing him and another man charging at her, Shen Yao immediately moved towards Mo Chen, as she had also heard that Mo Chen's side was not faring well.
Shen Yao felt once again that it was fortunate that the Shen family had all gone to City H a few days ago. Otherwise, they would have been arrested by now.
Although they had undergone purification and learned some martial arts with Shen Yao, facing these people would be as easy as harvesting vegetables.
Shen Yao was now anxious to reunite with Mo Chen, fearing he couldn't hold on. Fortunately, she had elixirs on her that she could give to Mo Chen.
Shen Yao moved with incredible speed, like a phantom in the dark night, quickly heading towards Mo Chen's location.
Upon reaching Mo Chen's side, the situation was indeed as Shen Yao had imagined. After all, with Mo Chen facing so many people alone, no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't withstand it.
When Shen Yao arrived, she immediately kicked away the man who was pressing down on Mo Chen and throwing punches.
After kicking away two more people, she pulled Mo Chen up.
Although Mo Chen was injured, he managed to stand on his own.
"Here, take this." Shen Yao handed Mo Chen an elixir, the Ten Thousand Yuan Elixir she had lied about earlier.
This Ten Thousand Yuan Elixir was refined by Shen Yao after her return from the cultivation world, so its effects were incredibly potent. After Mo Chen consumed it, he felt his injuries rapidly healing and recovering.
Mo Chen concealed the shock in his eyes, maintaining a composed demeanor.
The few people who had been watching them, however, were filled with excitement, as their target was the elixir currently being developed in Huaguo!
It seemed the effects were indeed remarkable, as they had already noticed some changes in Mo Chen.
The group exchanged glances and prepared to charge forward again to engage Shen Yao and Mo Chen.
"Bang!"
A loud noise startled the birds in the trees, causing them to scatter. Shen Yao turned her head to see Mo Chen shielding her, a red blossom blooming on his chest.
As the red blood flower bloomed, a trace of warm blood landed on Shen Yao's face and neck, burning hot...
"Mo Chen!"
Shen Yao's voice held a panic and fear that she herself couldn't detect. She quickly steadied the collapsing Mo Chen and desperately poured something into his mouth.
Andre, watching Mo Chen take a bullet for Shen Yao, was stunned, his eyes filled with fear and dread.
He had actually shot and severely injured Mo Chen!
Andre's accomplices were equally shocked. They also realized that they had escalated things significantly!
They exchanged a glance, intending to seize this opportunity to abduct Shen Yao, but they found they couldn't move at all.
Aside from their eyes, their bodies were completely immobile, and they couldn't even open their mouths.
Shen Yao ignored them, continuing to stuff things into Mo Chen's mouth, tears falling involuntarily.
Firearms – this was something Shen Yao had never anticipated. She had even forgotten that these people were not from Huaguo, and carrying guns was perfectly normal!
With a clench of Shen Yao's hand, all those who were still standing collapsed to the ground as if their bones had dissolved.
"Curse of Misfortune!"
Uttering three soft words, the terrified onlookers all closed their eyes. The moment their eyes closed, their expressions contorted with intense pain.
Shen Yao placed her hand on Mo Chen's bleeding chest. A wisp of white mist entered Mo Chen's body.
Slowly, bit by bit, it floated in. Shen Yao didn't know how much spiritual energy she had transferred to Mo Chen before seeing Shen Huaisang and then passing out.
"Doctor!!!"
Shen Huaisang cried out in alarm for a doctor and rushed to hold Shen Yao. She was also covered in blood, her face pale.
///
When Shen Yao woke up, the first thing she saw was white, and the pungent smell of disinfectant filled her nostrils.
"Mo Chen!"
Shen Yao tried to get up to check on Mo Chen, but she found she couldn't muster any strength.
"Quick, quick, go call the doctor, the patient is awake!"
After Shen Yao woke up, her monitors emitted a piercing "beep, beep, beep." The startled on-duty nurse rushed in to check.
Seeing that Shen Yao was awake, she hurried out excitedly to find a doctor.
Soon, a large group of people arrived in a flurry, carrying various examination instruments. They began to examine Shen Yao.
After a thorough check, Shen Yao's vital signs were all very healthy, and even the baby in her womb was extremely safe. "Miss Shen, are you experiencing any discomfort?"
The doctor was young, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and looked very professional.
"I can't muster any strength."
"No strength? Is there any other discomfort?"
"No. Oh, right, Mo, where is Mo Chen?"
Shen Yao asked the doctor, giving him a look that suggested he wouldn't be leaving until he answered.
Shen Yao asked cautiously and with concern, not wanting Mo Chen to be truly harmed!
"His condition is stable, but he remains unconscious. Don't worry, we will do our utmost to treat Mr. Mo."
However, the doctor seemed a bit uncomfortable when he said this, as Mo Chen had sustained a gunshot wound, and it had hit his heart!
The hospital's best doctors had been involved in the surgery.
It was the director who said that Mo Chen's will to survive was too strong; anyone with less determination would likely have died already.
Hearing that Mo Chen was still unconscious, Shen Yao struggled to get up to see him, still having the spiritual spring water.
