Chapter 63
Chapter 63
Shortly before this, Zhou Yi and Chang Ye got into a car, and Zhou Yi called Gu Boning.
However, the call was disconnected as soon as it connected.
"Sorry, it's not convenient to take calls here," Gu Boning replied.
Though Gu Boning said this, in reality, he was still struggling internally. Should he side with Tang You'an, who seemed to be in danger herself, or with Shao Yihua, who had already been arrested?
Tang You'an seemed like she could die at any moment. Though Zhou Yi was involved, he couldn't tell what would happen. Shao Yihua had been arrested, but at least he was safe for now...
But Gu Boning also wanted to know how he could avoid some troubles. Recently, Tang You'an had always been able to predict various things for him, big and small, which was truly astounding. Then, Tang You'an mentioned that Gu Boning would encounter something in the near future, the biggest thing in his remaining life, which needed to be properly resolved...
Tang You'an kept this suspense, but it made Gu Boning extremely nervous. At this critical moment, he couldn't be more conflicted.
"Mr. Gu, tell me about Song Xici and Tang You'an's whereabouts now," Zhou Yi typed directly. "You know where they are, right?"
Meanwhile, Gu Boning, standing in the monitoring room with Pigeon, thought for a while before finally sending Zhou Yi a message: "Alright, I'll tell you."
If the police came here and arrested him on the spot, he'd be in big trouble.
Then, in the next second, Gu Boning sent another message: "86 Taoxie Road, Kuilin Villa. Don't enter through the main gate, use the north gate. The north gate guard is my man now."
"Okay," Zhou Yi replied with one word, then told Chang Ye where the first aid kit was and asked her to get it. She then made a phone call, "Old Zhang, get me some capable fighters now."
After getting in the car, Zhou Yi opened WeChat again, glanced at a police contact, rubbed her lip corner, and finally sent him a message.
Two minutes later, the other party replied with "OK".
Meanwhile, Gu Boning and Pigeon sat in the monitoring room, watching the surveillance footage of the entire villa, focusing mainly on the basement.
Seeing Qi Sheng leave the basement and climb up the stairs, Pigeon narrowed his eyes, then picked up a walkie-talkie and said to someone, "Qi Sheng is trying to escape alone. Please follow his movements."
They certainly couldn't let Qi Sheng run away, because he was also one of their pawns, one that could be used to help Shao Yihua escape at a critical moment and take the fall for him.
Then, Pigeon lit a cigarette, frowned, looked at the thugs fighting in the basement, and turned to Gu Boning: "Young Master Gu, why do you look so unwell?"
Pigeon's expression looked very relaxed, as if he wasn't nervous at all. Yes, in their plan, everything would be pinned on Qi Sheng. Pigeon would also specifically remove any unfavorable parts of the footage showing Qi Sheng ordering Tang You'an's death, while preserving the crucial parts.
"I look unwell?" Gu Boning took out a handkerchief and wiped his forehead.
"Mm, don't be nervous," Pigeon glanced at him. "Brother Hua isn't an ordinary person. There will definitely be a turning point, he'll get out."
Probably because he had seen many of Shao Yihua's tactics, Pigeon wasn't as panicked as Qi Sheng about this "perilous situation".
"I'm almost at the north gate," Zhou Yi's message appeared on Gu Boning's phone.
"Okay, I'll try to find a topic to distract Pigeon's attention, so he doesn't notice the situation at the north gate. Then you can sneak in. Also, add me on WeChat, I'll share my location with you. Hurry, I think Tang You'an might not hold out much longer," Gu Boning sent the message while sweating profusely.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi and Chang Ye followed Gu Boning's instructions, parking their car in a spot before quietly sneaking into a small Western-style house within the villa.
"There's a mechanism on the rightmost wall of the first floor, it's a floor lamp. Turn it to the left, and a passage will appear in the wall. After entering, go down the stairs, and you'll encounter a door. That's the basement door. The password is '67110'. If the door gets closed during the fight, enter that to open it."
After seeing Gu Boning's message, Zhou Yi and Chang Ye nodded to the others and proceeded along the route he had described.
At this time, in the basement, Tang You'an leaned against Song Xici, blood continuously gushing out, gradually staining her clothes and Song Xici's left hand red.
Seeing the remaining thugs tilting their heads and cracking their knuckles as they approached, Song Xici clenched her teeth, gripping the dagger she had used to cut the ropes.
"Huh—"
"Weren't you so tough? Haha—"
The remaining thugs twirled their clubs, laughing as they swung at Song Xici. In an instant, Song Xici was so frightened that she immediately stood up, pulling Tang You'an back a step before heavily falling to the ground.
Never having experienced anything like this before, always thinking such things only happened in movies, Song Xici found that at this moment, all she could do was tremble as she tightly held Tang You'an in her arms, firmly gripping the dagger. Whenever anyone made a move to approach, she would wildly wave the dagger in front of her.
Her mind was blank, her joints felt rusty, and her muscles seemed to have completely collapsed. She only knew that she and Tang You'an were very likely to die here. Ninety-nine percent chance—
However, at that moment, the basement door was suddenly kicked open by a long leg, creaking as it swung against the wall—
Before the thugs could react, Zhou Yi, who had just entered, kicked one in the face, instantly sending him flying with a mouthful of blood! At the same time, Chang Ye leaped in carrying a small box, rolled on the ground, grabbed a steel rod, and stood back-to-back with Zhou Yi, her eyes like an eagle's as she surveyed everyone in the room.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yi's people, after taking care of those on the basement stairs, also entered the basement and joined Zhou Yi in dealing with the remaining thugs.
"It's been a while since we fought together," Zhou Yi said, blowing on her fist.
"Yeah," Chang Ye turned her head slightly, swinging the steel rod in her hand and smashing it into the shoulder of a man charging at them. "The last time we fought, it made the news. 'Two beautiful women battle night market thugs in the dead of night.'"
"Right," Zhou Yi grabbed someone's arm, bent her elbow, and suddenly rammed it backward into him. "That night, we were so hungry we each ate a bowl of fried chicken and a bowl of ramen. You love the fish cakes in ramen, so you always ask the owner to add an extra portion."
Chang Ye held the steel rod, raising her hand to rub her neck: "You... still remember that..."
The thugs were also very surprised by the sudden turn of events. Having completely lost their leader's command, they were now in total disarray.
"Mm. I'll handle the others here, you stop Tang You'an's bleeding," Zhou Yi said, her gaze fixed on the small box in the corner.
"Okay." Chang Ye understood, immediately walking over to pick up the small box and moving to Tang You'an's side.
Before coming here, Zhou Yi and Chang Ye, based on Tang You'an's previous predictions, deduced that someone might get injured here. Although they didn't know who it would be or if it would even happen, they brought a first aid kit just in case. It was fortunate they did.
"You'an..." At this moment, Song Xici's throat choked up as she still held Tang You'an in her arms. Both her face and Tang You'an's were terrifyingly stained with blood.
Song Xici's hands were also covered in Tang You'an's blood. The blood had gone from warm to cold, causing Song Xici to freeze up completely.
"Xici, you don't mind if I take off her clothes to check her injuries, right?" Chang Ye crouched down, placing her hand under Tang You'an's nose to check her breathing, then looked up at Song Xici.
"I don't mind..." Song Xici quickly shook her head.
So Chang Ye opened the box, unbuttoned Tang You'an's clothes, and began to clean and stop the bleeding as best she could on the spot. Probably because Chang Ye and Zhou Yi often did things that could easily lead to injuries, they were somewhat capable of handling wounds.
Song Xici stood to the side, staring blankly, neither crying nor making a fuss. Her gaze was locked on Chang Ye's hands, then moved to Tang You'an's wound. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her, afraid of disturbing them and causing any accidents in the process of saving Tang You'an.
At this time, Zhou Yi, who had been in constant contact with the police, finally put away her phone and turned to Chang Ye: "Are you done? Let's take her away now. The police have captured Pigeon and Gu Boning, and everything outside has been cleared up."
"Mm." Chang Ye nodded, putting Tang You'an's terribly blood-soaked clothes back on her.
Afterward, Tang You'an was carried out of the basement by Zhou Yi's people. Zhou Yi, Chang Ye, and Song Xici also left, leaving only the police behind.
Song Xici followed behind them like a walking corpse, her steps unsteady. Midway, Chang Ye noticed that Song Xici's mental state didn't seem good, so she put an arm around her shoulders and helped her walk forward. However, whether walking alone or being led, Song Xici's mind remained completely blank.
It wasn't until they entered the hospital and Tang You'an was wheeled from the emergency room to the operating room that Song Xici, who had just signed as family, stared at the lit corridor, her right hand stroking her equally bare left arm, pacing up and down the hallway muttering to herself.
Chen Shihan, who had rushed over after receiving the news, watched her from the side and couldn't help but sigh. She then unfolded a coat and draped it over Song Xici's shoulders.
At that moment, Song Xici, like a startled animal, shuddered and turned to look at Chen Shihan. She sniffled, then turned back, twisting her fingers as she stared at the wall.
"Xici!" At this time, Meng Meng, who had gotten the news from Zhou Yi, also rushed over, panting as she came to a stop beside Song Xici.
Song Xici glanced at her, but just like with Chen Shihan, she didn't say a word. She continued to stare intently at the white wall in front of her, only slightly opening her mouth to release an very unsteady breath.
"What did the doctor say?" Meng Meng patted Zhou Yi's shoulder, pulling her to a corner and asking in a low voice.
"Severe hemorrhagic shock, and her corneas were burned by lime. It's quite serious," Zhou Yi answered.
"You mean she might go blind or die?" Meng Meng was stunned for a second, then continued asking.
This time, Zhou Yi didn't say anything.
Meng Meng sighed, then quickly walked to Song Xici's side, put her arm around her, and said softly, "It's okay, our You'an will definitely be fine! I promise!"
Hearing Meng Meng's voice, Song Xici turned to look at her, finally unable to hold back anymore. She scratched at the wall with her bloodstained hand, furrowed her brow, and began to cry, her lips trembling as she occasionally raised her hand to wipe away the tears spilling from her eyes.
At this moment, the operating room door opened, and the doctor walked out, pulling down his sterile mask. Song Xici immediately stood up, took a step forward, and stood in front of the doctor.
