Eyes fixed on the balcony.
They watched Chen Fan, who had been shot six or seven times, leap into the air as if he had springs on his feet, soaring to a balcony four or five meters above the ground and swatting Jiang Shaolong dead with a palm.
Unbelievable!
They couldn't believe their eyes.
At that height, let alone having been shot, even without injury, no one could jump up directly.
But Chen Fan did it...
This brought them immense shock.
However.
After the shock, the crowd couldn't help but erupt in cheers!
As the cheers rose, the security guards finally breathed a sigh of relief, a great sense of joy welling up in their hearts.
Chen Fan's figure, taking each shot step by step, walking forward, was seared into their hearts like an indelible brand, leaving them deeply shaken and unable to forget.
For the rest of their lives, they would likely never forget this scene today!
That man, for the woman he loved, risked his life, spared no expense, took a bullet with each step, all to save her!
Even if it meant trading his life for hers, even if they both died together!
Even the hardest of hearts were moved at that moment, unable to resist the urge to weep.
The more intense their anxiety was just now, the greater their joy was now!
"Wuwu!"
Cries broke out. It was Tang Qingying, who had finally relaxed and was crying tears of joy.
Women are always emotional, and she couldn't hold back her feelings any longer.
At this moment, a strong sense of envy welled up within her.
This envy spread through her heart, making her wish she could transform into Su Yingxue.
Like a dream, she longed for a man who loved her, who, in her time of crisis, would risk his life, spare no expense, to save her as Chen Fan had?
But did such a man exist a second time in this world?
"Quick, get a ladder!"
The property manager was more rational and reacted faster. He quickly gave orders, saying, "Extinguish the fire, rescue people!"
The security guards snapped back to attention and immediately sprang into action.
As security guards in a high-end villa complex like Xiangshan Tanfu, their quality was far superior to that of ordinary guards.
On the balcony, Chen Fan grabbed the rope binding Su Yingxue and snapped it.
The simple action was enough to make him falter; his vision began to darken.
"Brother Chen, wuwu!"
Su Yingxue, finally free, though the temperature on the balcony had become extremely high, curling her hair, couldn't help but embrace Chen Fan and burst into tears.
"Why are you... so foolish?"
Chen Fan, however, couldn't hold on. He collapsed to the ground, boundless darkness washing over him, making his eyelids heavy.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen?"
Su Yingxue panicked and quickly shouted, "Someone, quick, help Brother Chen!"
Fortunately, the fire escape ladder was readily available. The security guards quickly climbed up and, without a word, carried Chen Fan away.
"There's another one, Wang Dongdong! Hurry and save her!"
Su Yingxue's heart ached, but she remembered Wang Dongdong lying unconscious and became worried.
The security guards moved swiftly, also carrying Wang Dongdong down.
Then it was Su Yingxue's turn.
After Su Yingxue was also brought down, the fire intensified, and a jet of flames suddenly erupted from the second-floor living room, engulfing the balcony.
Seeing Chen Fan being carried down, Tang Qingying rushed forward to check on him.
"Young lady, Mr. Chen's injuries are very serious. He must be sent to the hospital immediately!"
"Then what are you waiting for? Get him into the car and to the hospital at once!"
Tang Qingying's heart skipped a beat. Feeling an unbearable anxiety, she quickly said.
As soon as Su Yingxue came down, she tightly grasped Chen Fan's hand.
Tang Qingying quickly took off her jacket and draped it over Su Yingxue, then sent her into the car as well.
Having a seasoned driver from the property management company take them to the hospital, Tang Qingying also got into the car and rushed to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Fan and Wang Dongdong were immediately taken to the emergency room.
Su Yingxue refused to leave the area outside the operating room. Tang Qingying found a doctor to treat her injuries.
Fortunately, though she was emotionally exhausted, her injuries were only superficial.
After her wounds were treated, Su Yingxue became restless.
"Miss Su, don't worry. Mr. Chen is a man of great fortune. He'll be fine!"
Tang Qingying looked at Su Yingxue, and the scene of Chen Fan taking six bullets for her, risking his life, flashed before her eyes again.
Envy and jealousy flickered in her eyes.
Out of curiosity about Chen Fan, she had investigated Su Yingxue's background and knew she was the illegitimate daughter expelled from the Su family.
It was this kind of woman who made Chen Fan, or rather Mr. Long, risk his life. This woman was perhaps the happiest woman in the world.
"I hope so!"
Utterly exhausted, Su Yingxue rubbed her face, tears welling up again. "If anything happens to him, what will I do?"
"It's all my fault for being so useless, letting Jiang Shaolong hold me hostage, which led to this outcome!"
Tang Qingying sighed at her words and said, "Calm yourself. Mr. Chen is no ordinary person."
"And don't blame yourself. Jiang Shaolong had a gun. How could a frail woman like you resist?"
The two waited for the results.
About half an hour later, a group of people arrived at the hospital.
It was Jiang Tiansheng and Wang Tingting, along with Bob and his daughter.
Su Yingxue stood up, her face filled with guilt as she looked at Wang Tingting, and cried, "Tingting, I'm sorry. Dongdong was tortured by Jiang Shaolong because of me, and now he's in surgery!"
"Axue, it's not your fault!"
Wang Tingting, usually boisterous, now had a face full of anxious worry.
After all, Wang Dongdong was her own brother. Although he was often unreliable and annoying, he was still blood kin.
The two comforted each other.
"How is Mr. Chen?"
Jiang Tiansheng asked.
Tang Qingying proactively explained the situation to Jiang Tiansheng.
Upon learning that Chen Fan had been shot six times, Jiang Tiansheng's face was filled with gloom. He walked to the side, pulled out his phone, and made a call.
"Mr. Han, Mr. Long is in trouble. He's been shot..."
After explaining the events, Han Shuying on the other end became extremely anxious.
"I'll call the best specialist doctors right away. You must ensure Mr. Long is alright!"
Han Shuying hastily hung up.
Jiang Tiansheng paced back and forth, extremely agitated.
By now, he and Shengshi were completely tied to Chen Fan, inseparable. If anything were to happen to Chen Fan, his status today would be as fleeting as a mirage.
As they were talking, the operating room door opened, and several doctors emerged.
Everyone quickly stepped forward to inquire.
"Both patients are temporarily out of danger!"
The doctor's expression was complex. He said, "Especially the gentleman who was shot. All the bullets hit him were lodged in his muscles and did not damage any internal organs. It's simply unbelievable!"
Su Yingxue's expression eased upon hearing this. Her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground, having fainted.
Wang Tingting, who was beside her, quickly caught her.
Everyone's hearts, which had been held captive by anxiety, finally relaxed.
But Tang Qingying and Jiang Tiansheng, like the doctor who spoke, found it incredible.
Bullets lodged in the muscle layer?
How was that possible?
Especially Jiang Tiansheng. Having dabbled in the underworld in his younger days, he had faced many dangers and knew the state of a body when hit by a bullet.
Generally, it would either pass through or be lodged deep within the body.
Bullets lodged in the muscle layer? Every single one of them? It was certainly not a coincidence.
It could only be attributed to Mr. Long's power, which far surpassed ordinary imagination, even defying the level of human cognition.
He was unaware that Chen Fan had faced countless barrages of gunfire on the battlefield. This situation was actually insignificant.
If he hadn't been forced to endure each shot, Jiang Shaolong wouldn't have been able to hit him.
However, the doctor had not left, his expression suggesting he had more to say.
Jiang Tiansheng's heart, which had just relaxed, sank again. "Doctor, are there any other issues?"
