Chapter 721 - 723: Shitou is already in my hands
Chapter 721: Chapter 723: Shitou is already in my hands "Brother Gao, you wait here; I’ll go take a look," Xia Xiao wanted to become invisible and hide Shitou in the secret space.
Gao Jiaxing couldn’t feel reassured, holding Xia Xiao’s hand tightly, "You sit. There are people protecting Shitou."
"Then I’ll go to the restroom," Xia Xiao’s words left Gao Jiaxing speechless, but she continued, "When you’re nervous, you really need to go."
"I’ll wait outside for you; hurry back," Gao Jiaxing said.
Xia Xiao ignored Gao Jiaxing and slipped into the restroom before darting into the space towards Shitou’s hospital room.
Gao Jiaxing made a phone call with a serious expression, urging Feiyang to rush people over urgently.
When Xia Xiao reached Shitou’s hospital room, she saw that Shitou was no longer on the bed. Her heart tightened, and she rushed outside where a fight had already started.
Someone truly wanted to take Shitou away amid the chaos. Xia Xiao couldn’t rush over directly. Although invisible, she couldn’t guarantee her invisibility would resist bullets.
Thus, Xia Xiao entered the space again, moving to the other end to block those who were abducting Shitou and the enemy.
Seeing the unconscious Shitou being taken away, Xia Xiao wouldn’t have it. She pulled out a gun and fired a shot at the head of the person carrying Shitou, then swiftly took Shitou away.
After bringing Shitou into the secret space, Xia Xiao immediately had him soak in the spring water to ensure his body didn’t slide underwater and drown before she left.
Upon returning to Gao Jiaxing’s side, Gao Jiaxing’s expression was grim, having reached the restroom and not found Xia Xiao there, his heart had almost stopped.
Gao Jiaxing didn’t rush to the hospital, his past glory aside, he was over eighty now and had to admit his age.
And at that moment, the hospital was in chaos; people were screaming, continuously pouring out, even explosions were heard.
For Shitou, these people had actually ruined the Military District Hospital, Gao Jiaxing’s face tightened.
"Brother Gao, Shitou is safe with me now," Xia Xiao murmured into Gao Jiaxing’s ear.
Gao Jiaxing was stunned, staring at Xia Xiao, a bit slow to react.
Naturally, Shitou wasn’t physically with Xia Xiao, but for that miraculous existence, Gao Jiaxing’s tense face cracked slightly.
"Can I go in?" Gao Jiaxing asked.
Xia Xiao thought about it; inside, there were no secrets mentioned, nor about Shitou turning human, and she nodded right away.
The matter of the space, Xia Xiao was now willing to tell Gao Jiaxing, but about Shitou turning from the Space Spirit into human, Xia Xiao decided to continue hiding it, even for a lifetime, from Gao Jiaxing.
Gao Jiaxing’s love for Shitou was due to Shitou being his own grandchild. If he knew Shitou was actually the Space Spirit, his mindset towards Shitou would definitely change later on, maybe even unable to see Shitou as equal to Xiao Shu, Jianjian, and Kangkang, and that wasn’t what Xia Xiao wanted.
Moreover, if Shitou knew about it, he would surely be hurt, so keeping it secret was the best choice.
"Let’s go home. Leave everything here to Feiyang." Now that Shitou was in Xia Xiao’s hands, Gao Jiaxing felt relieved, no longer worried about the hospital, eager to see Shitou.
Right away, Xia Xiao prepared to have the guard drive them home, but Gao Jiaxing said, "No, let’s not go home, let’s go on a vacation."
Xia Xiao’s secret, Gao Jiaxing also wanted to help protect.
So at this moment, Gao Jiaxing chose to leave.
"Xiao Li, I’m giving you some time off; you go home first," Gao Jiaxing said.
Xia Xiao hurried to reassure him, "If you don’t want to take leave, you can go find Feiyang; he will arrange something for you. We plan to get away; don’t worry, you don’t need to follow. I’ve already informed Feiyang; he knows."
With that, Xiao Li didn’t insist anymore. After he got off the car, Gao Jiaxing took the driver’s seat, with Xia Xiao still in the back.
At Feiyang’s end, matters were desperately urgent, facing the chaotic hospital, he was extremely furious, not expecting that despite having so many people guarding Shitou, someone still dared to abduct from the Military District Hospital.
Moreover, to take such action, there surely was an inside man, just as their military had inside men in the enemy ranks, so Feiyang had no doubt.
Now, seeing the hospital amidst flames and continuous explosions, Feiyang’s eyes were red with anger. He hurriedly called Gao Jiaxing, and as soon as the call connected, he immediately said, "Dad, where are you and Mom?"
"Shitou is with us, don’t worry. Your mom and I are taking Shitou to get medical care. Find out who’s behind the hospital incident, and as for Shitou being with us, keep it under wraps for now; just say we’ve moved Shitou somewhere else for treatment. Don’t reveal any information about Shitou, and also be careful your phone isn’t tapped."
As Gao Jiaxing’s words ended, Feiyang was taken aback but heaved a great sigh of relief, relieved his son was safe.
However, he couldn’t let these people go. Feiyang had already had his men surround the entire hospital. Once Shitou was lost, the enemy panicked, hence capturing quite a few hostages confronted by Feiyang intensely.
Xia Xiao, at her end, had reached a hidden spot, allowing Gao Jiaxing to get off before the car instantly disappeared, switching to another.
Gao Jiaxing was dumbfounded, having lived nearly a lifetime.
"Xiaoxiao, tell me, are you not really a fairy?" Gao Jiaxing couldn’t help asking.
It was Xia Xiao driving now, Gao Jiaxing having moved to the passenger seat. Hearing Gao Jiaxing’s words, she suddenly laughed, "Why don’t you say I’m a monster."
"What’s your real form?"
No sooner had Gao Jiaxing asked than he received a slap from Xia Xiao on his forehead, "You’re the monster."
"So, our Xiaoxiao is a fairy."
"The spring water isn’t as effective as before, and it’s also getting scarcer, but I still hope it helps Shitou," Xia Xiao said.
"So I was also nourished by this spring; no wonder my health keeps improving," Gao Jiaxing realized, although Xia Xiao had mentioned the spring water before, but now their whole family was benefitting from it, thinking of his parents’ longevity, and now having lived up to eighty himself, and their family having barely fallen ill, all thanks to this spring.
Gao Jiaxing also knew that without him, Xia Xiao could live well and comfortably. But Xia Xiao doing so much for them privately deeply moved Gao Jiaxing’s heart.
