CHAPTER 1039: 1116: PIERCED THROUGH THE CHEST

Almost everyone in South City knows now that William and Chris are practically inseparable. However, what people don’t know is that William’s life was saved by Dong Huiying and Liang Zhichen together, and he has an even closer relationship with the Blue mansion.

Some of the enterprises that William manages today are also related to the Blue mansion. He came to the Blue mansion today for some business matters to discuss with Lan Gu. Little did he know, as his carriage arrived at the Blue mansion and he got off, he stumbled upon this scene.

Chris, coming out of the Blue mansion, was pierced through the chest by an arrow!

The archer lay in ambush on the rooftop, and William spotted him. He shouted a warning, but it was too late, everything, everything was too late.

When the poisoned black iron arrow shot through the chest, when he watched a large gush of blood spill from Chris’s chest, and then saw Chris lying powerless on the ground, William decisively ordered someone to chase that archer while he himself carried Chris like a gust of wind into the Blue mansion.

Such a fatal wound now only has a slim chance for survival. Of course, he had no heart assurance, but he believed that in the entire Jiangnan, there was no one with superior medical skill than that girl always dressed in purple.

If even she couldn’t save Chris, then there might be no hope for Chris to survive.

Moreover, as the incident happened right outside the Blue mansion, why would he go far away for help?

In any case, he rushed into the Blue mansion carrying Chris, as both William and Chris frequently came to visit the Blue mansion.

The doorman recognized them both, seeing Chris now with his breath as thin as a thread and lips dark purple; even the doorman was stunned.

"Lan Gu, Lan Gu! Where is Lady Dong? Chris is injured, badly injured!!"

William shouted, and Lan Gu had just met with Chris not long ago, she had even changed into that wide-sleeved blue flowing gown to meet him.

Not long ago, Chris had foolishly run away from her, reminding her that he would come over tomorrow to hear her response. But that young man, that young man who was just lively and bouncing around, now...

Lan Gu panicked at once, her face turned deathly pale, her heart was utterly lost. She rushed over in haste, and upon seeing Chris in William’s arms, her vision went dark, almost fainting.

She trembled, her lips quivering as she stuttered, "Quick—quick, go bring the mistress over!!"

Her eyes were already red.

Now, this young man’s life hung by a thread, seeing Chris’s complexion black and bluish, it was obvious he was poisoned. But her mind was in chaos.

All she could think of was this young man’s smile, this young man’s kindness, his enthusiasm, his seriousness, his persistence towards her.

But why, where did it go wrong?

It was only a turning away, just a blink of an eye, and this living person was on the cusp of life and death, separated from her?

***

Dong Huiying was lounging in bed, but upon hearing that something happened at Lan Gu’s, she immediately got up, not daring to be lazy any longer.

Shu Yu was in the elder brother’s room, the weather was a bit hot, he sat by the window, fanning his brother with a palm fan.

He was also startled.

So when Shu Yu came out of his brother’s room, he happened to see the fully dressed wife.

The two exchanged a glance, and the wife said, "Go!!"

The couple rushed towards the front hall, and before stepping over the threshold, they suddenly heard Lan Gu crying out, "Chris—!!"
