Xu Xiyan was a few meters away from success, but she did not notice an infrared light was on her .
Huo Yunshen saw it . The moment the red dot focused on her, he felt a wrenching pain in his heart .
Danger!
Being struck by fear, Huo Yunshen could only think of saving her . Gathering a force within him, his legs and his arms worked together and he leapt towards her .
“Jing Xi! Be careful!”
Before Xu Xiyan could react, Huo Yunshen had her down .
Xu Xiyan, the soldier, and Huo Yunshen all fell to the ground .
“Bang! Bang!” two gunshots were heard . Xu Xiyan turned around and happened to see the bullets hit Huo Yunshen . One hit him on his left calf while the other hit his back .
Xu Xiyan felt her heart skip a beat, and she yelled, “Mr . Huo!”
“Don't worry about me, Jing Xi! Hurry up and hide!”
Huo Yunshen lay flat on the ground and struggled .
Seeing Huo Yunshen injured, the once calm Xu Xiyan panicked . She quickly composed herself and swiftly pulled Huo Yunshen to the back of the bar counter . Then she went out to pull the soldier in .
She was exhausted and stained with blood over . However, she could not be bothered with catching her breath . She tore the fabric of her dress and helped Huo Yunshen bandage his wounds .
Unlike how she'd felt when she was saving the soldier, she now felt anguished .
She felt a deep regret . They would not have been met with danger if she had not brought him to Vikio Bar, and he would not have gotten injured .
After she finished bandaging, Xu Xiyan held onto Huo Yunshen's hand with her blood-stained hands and asked worriedly, “Mr . Huo, how are you?”
“I'm fine…”
He put up a strong front and gave her a smile to console her .
How can he be fine? He suffered two gunshot wounds, and is seriously injured like the soldier .
Xu Xiyan felt anguished, tears dropped and she reprimanded herself, “It's all my fault…if not for me, you wouldn't have gotten injured . ”
“Jing Xi, don't be sad . We will be fine…”
Not only was Huo Yunshen optimistic, he was glad that he was the one who got injured . Being able to hold her hands and watch her cry for him, he felt that his injury was worth it .
Xu Xiyan did not know if they could wait till Ye Xun notified her uncle to come rescue her . By the looks of it, they could not wait .
The situation was especially terrible . The soldier was dying, Huo Yunshen was deeply injured and had lost consciousness .
Xu Xiyan cried even more furiously, and her heart sank . She patted his face and said, “Mr . Huo, you can't sleep! Wake up, wake up…”
No signs of waking, no one answered her .
“Mr . Huo…”
Xu Xiyan sobbed uncontrollably . She could not imagine what would happen if Huo Yunshen died here today .
She had not confessed her love to him, he did not know that she loved him .
Besides sobbing and awaiting death, Xu Xiyan did not know what else she could do . She held his face and her tears dripped on him .
“Huo Yunshen, don't die… I like you, you know that? Ying Bao is our daughter, I have not told you that…”
With no idea how much time had passed, her hands had gone numb .
The exchange of gunfire had quietened down, and the sound of army boots neared .
Xu Xiyan closed her eyes, she knew death had arrived . There was no escape from death today . All she could do was hold on tight to Huo Yunshen and interlock their fingers .
