Chapter 236 He would gladly die for you.

The metal rubbed against the metal, producing a screeching, grating sound.

The car was pushed little by little to the side of the road, where the sea was surging with blue waves.

Inside the car, Fu Beichen was already slumped in the passenger seat, with a dark red, sticky bloodstain beneath him that was spreading.

His face was ashen, and he lost consciousness completely, plunging the entire world into boundless darkness.

Half of the car's wheel was already hanging in mid-air.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several gunshots rang out, decisively shattering the tranquility of the night.

The windows of the black sedan shattered, sending shards of glass flying everywhere.

The engine sputtered a few times and then stalled completely.

The driver inside the car was so terrified that he dared not move.

Immediately afterwards, the ear-piercing sound of tires screeching echoed along the entire coastal highway.

At both ends of the road, eight black SUVs sped by, swiftly sandwiching two black cars in the middle, forming an impenetrable fortress.

The car doors opened in unison.

The team members in two of the vehicles, fully armed and carrying heavy weapons, with sharp eyes, rushed into the dark entrance of the air-raid shelter without saying a word.

The whole process was so smooth and fast that it was dazzling.

Not long after, Ling Zhong and his remaining accomplices were all brought out under guard...

Chen Sen was the first to rush to Fu Beichen's car, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of his chest.

He yanked open the car door.

Seeing Fu Beichen covered in blood and unconscious, his heart clenched and his throat went dry.

"President Fu."

He roared at his teammates.

"First aid! Quick! Stop the bleeding!"

One of the team members immediately turned around and ran to the car to get the first aid kit.

In the distance, the siren of an ambulance grew louder as it arrived quickly. Medical staff swiftly and professionally lifted Fu Beichen onto a stretcher and into the ambulance.

A shadow team member walked over, looking somewhat nervous. He hesitated before speaking, his voice very low.

"Assistant Chen, is the gentleman... alright?"

He swallowed hard, his voice growing even weaker.

"Shouldn't we have rushed in earlier?"

They had already searched both mountains nearby, but found nothing. But they saw Fu Beichen go into the other mountain and never come out again.

They wanted to go in and help, but Chen Sen stopped them and told them to go find backup and call an ambulance.

Chen Sen's eyes darkened, becoming unfathomable.

He glanced at the team member, his tone calm yet carrying an undeniable authority.

"That's not your home turf, why are you trying to steal the spotlight?"

His eyes sharpened.

"As long as your wife is alright, you will all live."

The shadow team member breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

The heart that had been hanging in my throat finally settled back into my stomach.

At the other end of the road, Bai Yu stepped out of a surveillance vehicle. He stood tall and straight, remaining meticulous even in the midst of the chaos.

He was followed by several team members, all carrying weapons, and their powerful aura was suffocating.

In the stopped car, Mu Yanchen carefully placed the unconscious Gu Xingnian in his arms onto the seat, straightened his clothes, and got out of the car.

Bai Yu approached step by step, his movements slow yet carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure.

Mu Yanchen, on the contrary, straightened his back, looking quite self-righteous.

"I saved Xixi."

He pointed to his car.

“She’s in the car right now, unconscious. I’m about to take her back to the Bai family home.”

Bai Yu looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Young Master Mu."

After he finished speaking, he walked straight to the car, bent down and reached out, and saw that she was covered in blood, a shocking sight.

Bai Yu checked her over nervously and thankfully found that the bloodstains were only on her clothes and she herself was not injured before carrying the person out.

Mu Yanchen seized the opportunity, his voice carrying just the right amount of concern.

"Young Master Bai, Fu Beichen can't even protect Xixi, can he really give Xixi happiness?"

Bai Yu turned his head, his handsome face now covered with a layer of ice.

"Xixi's happiness doesn't have to belong to anyone."

He paused, then spoke each word as if an icicle were striking the ground.

"But absolutely, it has nothing to do with you, Mu Yanchen."

The resentment in Mu Yanchen's heart was instantly ignited, and he raised his voice.

"Why! Why does Fu Beichen have the right to hurt her and still stand by her side!"

Bai Yu suddenly laughed.

The smile was faint, yet chillingly cold.

"Just because he was willing to take five knife wounds for Xixi."

His gaze was like a sharp knife, peeling away layer after layer of Mu Yanchen's disguise.

"And you, you only want to be the one waiting in the wings."

Bai Yu's tone was full of undisguised contempt.

"Have you ever thought that if Fu Beichen can't hold on, Xixi in front of you will become a cold corpse?"

These words struck Mu Yanchen's chest like a heavy hammer.

He was speechless for a moment, all his rebuttals stuck in his throat, his face turning pale and then red.

He did arrive quite some time ago.

He remained hidden in the shadows, waiting quietly for them to both suffer heavy losses, so he could reap the benefits.

Bai Yu had already heard everything from his subordinates the moment he got out of the car.

It was Fu Beichen who rushed into the operating room and risked his life to save Xixi, while his own fate remains unknown.

Bai Yu stopped looking at him, carefully carried Gu Xingnian into his car, and headed straight for the hospital.

The next morning, Gu Xingnian slowly opened her eyes, the white of the ceiling stinging her eyes.

The smell of disinfectant filled my nostrils and was a bit pungent.

"Xixi, you're awake! You scared your mother to death!"

Zhuang Linyue held her hand, her voice trembling.

Gu Xingnian's gaze slowly focused, and Zhuang Linyue and Bai Yu's faces appeared in front of her.

They all surrounded her, looking down at her with solemn expressions.

"Xixi, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Gu Xingnian's mind went blank for a few seconds.

Immediately afterwards, a flood of chaotic images rushed in like a burst dam.

Fu Beichen.

He rushed into the operating room to save her, and they ran away together, pursued by a frantic chase, the screeching of brakes, and the loud crash of the car hitting a telephone pole.

Finally, he lunged at her and hugged her tightly in his arms.

"Fu Beichen".

"How is Fu Beichen?"

Her voice was terribly hoarse, her face was full of anxiety, and she struggled to get up.

"Hey, don't get agitated."

Zhuang Linyue quickly supported her, "Take it easy, don't move around, be careful of the baby in your belly."

Gu Xingnian couldn't listen to a word. Her eyes were fixed on Bai Yu, and she asked again.

"Brother, where is he?"

"Tell me, what happened to him?"

Bai Yu walked over, his tall figure blocking some of the glaring light, his voice gentle.

"Xixi, don't worry."

"Fu Beichen was seriously injured and lost a lot of blood, but he has passed the critical period."

He paused, then added.

"He is currently in the intensive care unit, still unconscious, and has a mild concussion."

Gu Xingnian's eyes instantly reddened. She threw off the covers and got out of bed.

"I want to go see him."

I took only one step before I fell to the ground, my legs feeling numb.

"Xi Xi!" Zhuang Lin Yue cried out in fright.

"I'll take you there." Bai Yu bent down, stretched out his long arm, and easily picked her up horizontally, carrying her steadily towards the door.

Outside the ICU ward, the corridor was so quiet that only the ticking of the medical equipment could be heard.

Even though visiting hours had already passed, the attending physician was already waiting at the door.

The doctor saw them, nodded, swiped his card, and opened the access control.

Bai Yu carried her inside and stood in front of the huge glass window.

With just one glance, Gu Xingnian's heart was gripped tightly.

He lay on the hospital bed, his face as white as a sheet, his eyes tightly closed.

His upper body was wrapped in thick gauze, and an IV tube was inserted into his arm, with clear liquid dripping into his body.

Her hand, uncontrollably, rose up and gently touched the cold glass.

Her fingertips lightly traced the outline of his face.

All I could think about was the scene of him rushing into the operating room to save me.

"Husband, save me." Her desperate cries still echoed in my ears.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, baby, your husband is here, everything is alright." His gentle yet firm voice pierced through all the fear.

Furthermore, he threw himself in front of her, using his strong body to shield her from the gleaming knife, blood gushing out and staining her vision red.

"Fu Beichen, get away, get away from me now."

"Don't be afraid, it won't hurt. I won't let anything happen to you or the child."

He endured the excruciating pain while still comforting her.

"Fu Beichen, this child isn't yours, are you still willing to risk your life to protect it?"

"I will not allow anyone to harm her in the slightest."

...

Those memories, every word, every image, were like a knife, stabbing deeply into her heart and stirring it back and forth.

pain.

She could no longer hold back, burying her face in Bai Yu's neck, her body trembling violently, and she cried out in heartache...

In the afternoon, Gu Xingnian came to see Fu Beichen again.

At that moment, Chen Sen was waiting for her at the door.

"Madam, hello, I'm Chen Sen. How are you feeling?"

The man's voice was respectful, with just the right amount of concern.

Gu Xingnian nodded. "Mm."

Her gaze never left the man in the intensive care unit.

Fu Beichen was still unconscious, lying quietly on the hospital bed with various tubes inserted into his body.

Chen Sen stood with her by the glass window and suddenly sighed.

"Mr. Fu, this time you really had a close call with death. When you got into the ambulance, you were already in shock from blood loss."

"If it had been a moment later, even a god couldn't have saved them."

Gu Xingnian felt a dull ache in her heart upon hearing this.

Chen Sen continued speaking.

"Madam, please don't be sad, because Mr. Fu can sense when you are sad."

He spoke with great conviction.

“Yesterday, when Mr. Fu was about to leave the port, he suddenly felt heartbroken and distressed. Later, he insisted on searching again, and that's how he was fortunate enough to find you. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.”

Gu Xingnian nodded, "We really owe him a lot this time."

If it weren't for him, I would probably be a cold corpse by now.

“Madam, Mr. Fu is your husband. He would take a knife for you and die for you willingly.”

Chen Sen's tone suddenly turned cold, filled with barely suppressed anger.

"But it would be such a shame to die at the hands of that bastard Mu Yanchen."

Gu Xingnian looked at Chen Sen's angry face with a puzzled expression.

So, Chen Sen embellished the story of how Mu Yanchen carried her away after she fainted, and how he had the car pushed into the sea.

"This man is shameless. He not only stalked the cicada from behind, but he also dared to steal credit from Young Master Bai, saying that he risked his life to save you and that if Young Master Bai hadn't arrived in time to stop him, you would have fallen into the hands of thieves a second time."

He emphasized the word "thief".

That's some seriously impressive moves by a top-tier player.

Lin Qi: Huh, it seems like some shameless person stole my job?

Gu Xingnian stared in shock, she hadn't expected this to happen after she fainted.

She never expected that the pursuer behind her would be Mu Yanchen.

She turned around and looked at Fu Beichen on the hospital bed again, and suddenly noticed that his hand moved.

Just a moment, very slight.

But she saw it.

"He's waking up!" she exclaimed excitedly, pressing both hands against the glass.

Suddenly, her stomach twitched a few times, which startled her...
