Jiang Nuan had her daughter lie down flat, placing her clothes under her head, before turning to face the man who had stabbed Yunyun with a dagger.
A murderous aura spread across her face.
Her slender body moved swiftly, and by the time the man reacted, Jiang Nuan's delicate fingers had already gripped his throat.
The man looked at Jiang Nuan in disbelief; the speed was too much.
A sharp pain shot through his throat as his body shuddered, and the dagger slipped from his hand.
A cruel glint flashed in Jiang Nuan's eyes.
With a slight shift of her toes, the dagger instantly bounced into her hand.
She quickly slashed across the man's arm, pouring all her strength into the move.
The man's arm landed on the ground.
The seven or eight men who had gathered around were stunned by this sight.
What kind of terrifying strength was required to instantly disarm a man like that?
A strong scent of blood permeated the air, and Jiang Nuan's murderous intent was like that of a demon.
Before the man could even process what had happened, blood gushed from his shoulder, instantly dyeing Jiang Nuan's pristine white shirt red.
"Ah!" the man screamed, collapsing onto the ground.
Before the surrounding men could react, Jiang Nuan tightened her grip on the dagger and, with a brazen display, weaved through the five or six men, leaving them all bleeding.
Jiang Nuan dropped the dagger, scooped up her daughter, and left without a backward glance.
The men on the ground pulled out their guns and fired at Jiang Nuan's retreating back.
Hearing the gunshots, Jiang Nuan's pupils dilated, and she violently shifted her body.
A numb, heavy sensation registered on her arm, causing her to furrow her brow slightly.
The man, seeing his shot hit, passed out.
The slaughter had been a matter of moments.
Jiang Nuan dared not delay, clutching her daughter as she sprinted towards the hospital.
As soon as she exited, she ran with her daughter towards the car opposite.
Passersby were shocked to see the blood-drenched mother and daughter.
But Jiang Nuan's wind-like speed made it seem like an illusion.
Chu Yunying, who had just finished her meal, also saw Jiang Nuan leaving with her daughter.
Not dead?
A flicker of annoyance crossed her eyes.
Damn Hong Bin, what was he doing?
Didn't he say there would be no problems?
Then why were Jiang Nuan and her daughter still alive and running out?
No, she had to stop Mu Jiuchen. She had just seen Chen Feng's social media post; they were at a nearby hotel.
There was a Baihui Hotel next door, which belonged to Ying Tang.
After Mu Jiuchen finished his meeting, it was late, and Chen Feng was still at the hotel; Mu Jiuchen must be there too.
It would only take a few minutes to get there from here.
Chu Yunying quickly jogged over.
Jiang Nuan called Mu Jiuchen, but both calls went straight to voicemail, his phone being switched off.
Jiang Nuan's gunshot wound was bleeding uncontrollably.
Instead of calling Mu Jiuchen's phone again, she dialed her second brother's number.
"Nuan Nuan, you miss your second brother." Lu Jincheng's voice was cheerful.
Jiang Nuan managed a weak smile. "Brother, I do miss you. Can you arrange for a doctor, a very skilled one for stitching? I'm on Fenxi Road, and I'll head to the nearest hospital. You need to be quick."
"Nuan Nuan, what happened? Where are you injured?"
Jiang Nuan looked at her continuously bleeding arm, unsure if she could hold out until the hospital. "Brother, don't ask so much for now. I know there's a Heji Hospital nearby, and I'll go there. Don't tell Mom and Dad first; just come by yourself."
"Okay, okay, Nuan Nuan, you have to hang in there. I'm not far from you; I'll be there soon."
"Alright!" Jiang Nuan hung up, her vision blurring as she looked at the road ahead. She took a pill from her bag and, glancing at her sleeping daughter, quickly drove off.
Lu Jincheng was having dinner alone at a Western restaurant, enjoying his solitary time.
After hanging up, he rushed out like lightning.
Jiang Nuan drove to the hospital entrance, paused for a moment, and then carried her daughter into the hospital.
The security guard at the entrance was startled by the blood-drenched appearance of Jiang Nuan and her daughter.
Seeing Jiang Nuan's shaky body, the guard approached, kindly offering to carry Yunyun, but Jiang Nuan refused. She appreciated his kindness, but with her daughter bleeding, she couldn't entrust her to anyone else.
Jiang Nuan looked at him weakly. "Uncle, please, could you call the emergency room for me?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Don't move for now; just stand here and wait."
The security guard looked at the bloody footprints behind her, which were truly shocking.
He quickly ran towards the emergency department.
People coming and going all looked at Jiang Nuan and her daughter with concern.
Jiang Nuan was covered in blood, yet no one dared to step forward to help her.
The air in front of Jiang Nuan began to distort. She looked down at her daughter's increasingly pale face, and tears finally flowed uncontrollably.
"Yunyun, hold on, okay? You must hold on. Mommy is right here with you." Every word she spoke was filled with heartache. If she hadn't taken that fall, Yunyun would never have been in danger.
The sound of hurried footsteps approached from a distance. Jiang Nuan looked over to see doctors rushing towards them. She breathed a sigh of relief. "Quickly, the female doctor at the front, rush to Jiang Nuan."
Seeing Jiang Nuan covered in blood, she was momentarily stunned.
Jiang Nuan said to the doctor excitedly, "Save my daughter first. The wound on her left side is very deep. Save my daughter first."
It was Lin Yuxin's first time seeing such a situation in her three months of work.
After hearing Jiang Nuan explain the situation, Lin Yuxin quickly began emergency treatment.
Jiang Nuan breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her daughter being taken away.
"Cough, cough..." She couldn't help but cough a few times.
"Nuan Nuan, Nuan Nuan, brother's here." Lu Jincheng rushed in, and his eyes widened in shock at the sight of his sister covered in blood.
How could she be so badly injured?
Jiang Nuan glanced at her second brother, giving a weak smile. "Brother, don't worry, the vital parts aren't injured."
Jiang Nuan was lifted onto a stretcher. Her fair face was stained with blood, but her eyes held a smile, her resilient spirit making her appear even more fragile.
Lu Jincheng's eyes immediately welled up with tears.
Who?
Who could be so heartless as to injure his sister this badly?
Lin Yuxin looked at the dazed Lu Jincheng and reminded him, "Sir, are you a patient's family member? Please go and complete the hospitalization procedures immediately. The patient requires surgery."
Lu Jincheng snapped back to attention. This hospital belonged to his friend, and he had made arrangements beforehand.
"I am a friend of the director. This is a VIP pass. Find me the best doctor for the surgery and the best room."
Lu Jincheng said emotionally.
Lin Yuxin looked at the VIP pass in his hand and nodded. Wealthy people were always the ones in charge.
Jiang Nuan was also quickly taken into the operating room.
Lu Jincheng's mind was a blank slate. He paced back and forth outside the operating room, unsure of what to do.
He had also studied medicine and was most afraid of seeing such bloody scenes.
That was why he had chosen not to work in a hospital.
He preferred developing medical products rather than witnessing such gruesome sights.
The image of Nuan Nuan's strong and resilient demeanor kept flashing in his mind, causing his heart to ache with every passing moment.
He didn't know how much time had passed. The operating room light was still on, and Lu Jincheng anxiously banged his head against the wall.
"Nuan Nuan, please, you must be alright. If anything happens to you, what will I do?"
Bang, bang...
He hit his head against the wall, again and again.
The moment Lin Yuxin pulled open the operating room door, she witnessed this astonishing scene.
