CHAPTER 301: CHAPTER 302: AGONY

"Mm—"

Chu Zhan let out a muffled groan and fell directly to the ground, his expression pained.

"Brother Chu, how are you?"

Nianyang was startled and quickly supported Chu Zhan’s arm, checking his wounds.

Li Tingyan’s heart tightened sharply at the sight, and without time to regret or question, he rushed over to subdue the assailant and handed them over to Xiao Wu, who came over to take them away.

"Nini, are you okay?"

Li Tingyan quickly ran back to Nianyang’s side, mainly concerned about his wife’s condition. He blamed himself for being careless and letting his wife fall into danger.

"I’m fine, Brother Chu blocked a knife for me, quickly take him to the hospital!"

Nianyang said anxiously. In fact, she could treat Chu Zhan on the spot, but doing so would reveal her secret power, and she didn’t want to be taken away for research.

Li Tingyan relaxed a bit seeing Nianyang was unhurt. Although he felt it was heartless to think so, he couldn’t help but be thankful that Chu Zhan blocked it for her.

After all, Chu Zhan was a man, besides running a company, he was also in overseas shipping business in the provincial city, facing rough conditions daily, at least more so than his delicate wife.

Li Tingyan carried the unconscious Chu Zhan on his back, running with Nianyang to another car in the mountains, and then asking Dong Hu to drive to the county hospital, as the small town only had clinics and couldn’t perform surgeries.

Nianyang and Chu Zhan sat in the backseat, Chu Zhan leaned to one side, his body twitching in pain, blood continuously flowing from his wounds, soaking the seat.

Brother Chu got injured saving her, Nianyang feared something might really happen to him, so, while Chu Zhan was semi-conscious, she daringly gave him some spring water from her secret power.

The spring water was said to have a strengthening effect and could be used as medicine, so it should help with wound recovery, certainly better than letting him just bleed.

After drinking the spring water, Chu Zhan’s expression became less pained, but his face was still very pale.

Nianyang quickly checked his pulse and found his vital signs were stable and had not hit any critical areas, she sighed in relief. If something happened to Brother Chu, she could never forgive herself.

Half an hour later, they arrived at the hospital, and Chu Zhan was rushed into the emergency room for treatment, while Nianyang and Li Tingyan waited in the corridor.

"It’s all my fault. If I had reacted faster, Brother Chu wouldn’t have gotten hurt saving me," Nianyang mumbled, full of self-blame. Her worried and fearful look for Chu Zhan made Li Tingyan feel uncomfortable.

"Nini, don’t say that. Chu Zhan is also an overseas businessman. These pirates were hired by Sea Merchant from their provincial city. He would have done the same for anyone else, couldn’t just stand by and watch you get hurt."

Li Tingyan patted Nianyang’s back. He said this to comfort his wife, but he was puzzled too.

Logically, Chu Zhan saving Nianyang was expected, but in such a critical situation, only someone who truly cared about the other would instinctively shield them.

And Chu Zhan had met Nianyang only twice; they were practically strangers. Why would Chu Zhan risk his life for her?

Could Chu Zhan actually have inappropriate feelings for his wife?

The more Li Tingyan thought about it, the more troubled he became. Chu Zhan was his best brother. If Chu Zhan really had any thoughts about his wife, Li Tingyan would definitely not let him off easily.

Half an hour passed like this, the emergency room door opened, and the doctor rushed out, saying,

"The patient has lost too much blood and needs an immediate transfusion, but our hospital is out of O-type blood."

Nianyang quickly said, "I’m O-type, use mine!"
