Chapter 260 - 238 We Don’t Feel Pain But We Can Die
The sudden situation was unexpected by everyone. Gu Moming hurriedly moved Gu Qimiao’s chair to the side, but it was still too late. The bullet hit Gu Qimiao’s arm, and the white sleeve instantly turned crimson.Because of the gunshot, the scene immediately descended into chaos. Shen Yanchen quickly stopped his subordinates from shooting, worrying that the chaos would cause further injury to Gu Qimiao.
Gu Moming’s people saw no movement from the other side and did not dare to act rashly, as Shen Yanchen’s men far outnumbered them.
Shen Yanchen kicked the man in his hand to the ground, pushed Gu Moming aside, and stepped forward to untie the rope on Gu Qimiao’s hands.
Her sleeve was bloodied, but she didn’t even flinch. He tore the tape off her mouth, bent down, and prepared to carry her away when Gu Moming pointed a gun at Shen Yanchen’s temple: "Don’t move."
Gu Qimiao hurriedly shielded him: "Gu Moming, are you crazy?"
This unhesitant action made Gu Moming freeze, as if he saw her as a child protecting Shen Yanchen from a whip...
Gu Moming angrily pressed the gun barrel against Gu Qimiao’s forehead and asked harshly: "Do you want to die?"
Facing the gun, Gu Qimiao was scared, but she feared his unfamiliar demeanor even more at that moment.
She cautiously pushed the gun aside and, with a trembling voice, asked: "Mo Ming, what’s wrong with you?"
Before he could answer, a gust of wind passed by, and the next second, Gu Moming was lying on the ground.
His wound was still unhealed, and Shen Yanchen struck hard. Gu Qimiao feared something would happen, so she quickly got up to stop him. Shen Yanchen stepped towards the fallen Gu Moming while instructing He Ye nearby: "Take her to the hospital."
He Ye pulled Gu Qimiao away, but she watched as Shen Yanchen landed another heavy punch on Gu Moming’s face.
Gu Moming didn’t even frown; he wiped the blood from his mouth and provocatively said: "If you have the guts, kill me now, or I’ll hold a grudge!"
Shen Yanchen was also furious, having detested him for a long time. He grabbed Gu Moming by the collar and flung him onto the half-finished balcony, where one misstep could send him over the edge.
Gu Qimiao watched with great distress and broke free from He Ye’s grip, calling out, "Brother Yan Chen, stop it..."
Punch after punch landed on him, and thinking about how Gu Qimiao got hurt because of him and how he betrayed Xiaoxiao, Shen Yanchen vented all his new and old grievances right then.
Blood had blurred Gu Moming’s face, but he showed no sign of yielding, his eyes still carrying a hint of defiance.
His brothers were surrounded by Shen Yanchen’s men; no one dared to step forward to help.
Fearing something fatal, Gu Qimiao struggled harder against He Ye, seeing that her wound was bleeding profusely from the struggle, He Ye had no choice but to let go.
She ran over and hugged the fallen Gu Moming, looking up at Shen Yanchen with tears in her voice, "Stop it!"
Shen Yanchen stopped and frowned, looking down at her cradling that man in her arms, feeling a sting in his heart.
Gu Qimiao thought Shen Yanchen might not understand the condition of people like them. Trying to remind and slightly admonish him, she said, "We won’t feel pain, but we can die!"
Shen Yanchen’s brows furrowed deeply. A simple "we"—did she have any idea how much he cared?
Anger overwhelmed him as he shouted at Gu Qimiao, "But he almost got you killed too!"
If that shot had not been discovered in time, she would be the one lying lifeless on the ground!
Thinking of this, he felt a shiver of fear, and while he worried to death, she was now sitting on the ground holding that man and speaking of "we"?
He probably understood their condition better than they did! Knowing her condition, he had been researching widely and consulting numerous doctors over the years. Was she now accusing him of not understanding her?
Gu Qimiao propped Gu Moming up in her arms, feeling blood all over her hands, making her cry in fright, "Get him to the hospital quickly!"
The brothers glanced at each other, but with Shen Yanchen’s men pointing guns, none dared move.
Shen Yanchen coldly watched from the side, seeing her neglect her own gunshot wound to care for that man only fueled his rage.
He decisively turned away, coldly telling his men, "Let’s go."
He Ye glanced at Gu Qimiao’s side, sighed softly, and followed Shen Yanchen away.
Gu Qimiao watched Shen Yanchen’s retreating figure, knowing he was angry. She wanted to chase after him, but saving Gu Moming was more urgent now.
When the ambulance arrived, Gu Moming had already fainted, his nose bleeding profusely, staining Gu Qimiao’s clothes.
At the hospital, he was rushed into the emergency room. Gu Qimiao dressed her wound. The blood supply at the hospital was low, so they drew some from her. Fortunately, the hospital had some stock, so they didn’t take much.
Sitting outside the emergency room, she worried about Gu Moming inside while also thinking of Shen Yanchen.
He seemed extremely angry just now, leaving without looking back.
She knew he was worried about her, but his emotions just now made her fear he would kill Gu Moming.
But Gu Moming deserved it. Why did he cause such trouble, kidnapping her to extort money from Shen Yanchen? What kind of difficulty did he encounter?
She thought life was finally getting better, but it got messed up again.
Knowing she was hurt, several hours had passed, and Shen Yanchen hadn’t called.
Holding her phone, she didn’t dare call him, sitting lost in the corridor, only calling Mrs. Gu about Gu Moming.
This kind of trouble happening again and again made it no wonder that Mrs. Gu considered having another child through surrogacy...
As for Xiaoxiao, she didn’t tell her. The pregnancy was already hard enough for Xiaoxiao. If she knew about Gu Moming’s injury, she would worry even more.
She was kind to Gu Moming, but he didn’t appreciate it. Better not to inform Xiaoxiao about Gu Moming’s troubles.
The surgery only ended in the afternoon; the head injury was severe, but fortunately, his leg injury wasn’t serious. Otherwise, he might have been wheelchair-bound for life.
After knowing there was no life danger, Mrs. Gu left a servant there and returned home.
Gu Qimiao knew the servant couldn’t properly care for Gu Moming. His temper was worse than before.
She believed there was hope for Gu Moming and Xiaoxiao because last time, Gu Moming didn’t reject Xiaoxiao’s care in the hospital. If he really hated her, how could he let Xiaoxiao care for him that long?
It was probably he couldn’t accept Xiaoxiao and Mrs. Gu’s secretive way of making Xiaoxiao pregnant by drugging him, hence resisting her.
But in this matter, everyone had their difficulties. Mrs. Gu did it for the family, knowing Gu family only had one descendant. Xiaoxiao did it out of deep love for him.
