"Don't move! If you move again, I'll kill her right now!"
Brother Long's face was contorted as he roared hoarsely.
Shen Huaichuan abruptly stopped in his tracks, raising his hands slightly:
"Let her go! I'll let you leave!"
"Hahaha..."
Brother Long let out a maniacal laugh.
"Leave? How could I possibly leave! I admit I've been tricked by you today! But you won't get away with it either! I'll take the woman I cherish with me on my journey, and I won't lose out!"
He knew that Shen Huaichuan would not let him go, and even if Shen Huaichuan let him leave now, he would not be able to leave!
There's a lot of noise outside the cave entrance right now. Besides Shen Huaichuan, the other police officers and soldiers will probably be arriving soon!
His only option now is to perish together with Zhou Qiqi!
As he spoke, he pressed the dagger against Zhou Qiqi's neck harder, and beads of blood slid down the blade.
At this critical juncture between life and death—
Suddenly, Zhou Qiqi, who was being held hostage, mustered up a tremendous amount of courage from somewhere. With all her might, she slammed her head back hard!
The back of her head struck the ribs that Brother Long had just injured when Shen Huaichuan hit him!
"Ugh—!"
A sharp pain shot through his ribs. Caught off guard, Brother Long screamed and instinctively loosened his grip on the dagger.
In the blink of an eye!
Shen Huaichuan seized this fleeting opportunity and rushed forward!
However, the dying Brother Long became even more insane!
He relinquished control over Zhou Qiqi, but instead focused all his resentment and malice on Shen Huaichuan.
The moment Shen Huaichuan rushed over, he recklessly plunged the dagger into Shen Huaichuan's heart!
This attack was swift and ruthless, executed from a tricky angle, and aimed to kill instantly.
"Huaichuan! Watch out!"
Zhou Qiqi was the closest, and she saw it clearly. She immediately let out a scream.
However, Shen Huaichuan wanted to hide in order to save her, but it was too late to escape.
At that moment, Zhou Qiqi's mind went blank, and her body's instincts acted faster than any thought.
Without thinking, she lunged forward and used her slender body to block Shen Huaichuan!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Brother Long went berserk, stabbing twice in quick succession!
The sharp dagger pierced Zhou Qiqi's chest deeply.
Warm blood gushed out instantly, staining Zhou Qiqi's clothes red and also staining Shen Huaichuan's eyes red.
Brother Long felt it wasn't enough and wanted to pull out his dagger to stab again, but Shen Huaichuan's fist had already slammed down hard.
This punch landed squarely on Brother Long's face!
"Snap!"
The sound of the skull shattering was clearly audible!
Brother Long's head snapped back, and he flew out, crashing heavily into the stone wall behind him.
He slid limply to the ground, twitched twice, and then fell completely silent.
"Qiqi!!"
Shen Huaichuan caught Zhou Qiqi, who had collapsed limply, and looked at the two holes in her body from which blood was gushing out. He felt as if his heart had been pierced at the same time.
Everything happened too fast; he was powerless to stop it and could only watch helplessly.
Qiqi, who was usually a little delicate and afraid of pain, but was always lively and bright, was now weak and collapsed in his arms.
Shen Huaichuan had never felt so terrified before, and he roared:
"Qiqi! Hold on! Look at me! Look at me!"
"I'll take you out! I'll take you to the military hospital!"
His hands trembled violently as he tried to break free of the chains, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't.
In a panic, he tried to cover Qiqi's wound, but blood kept seeping out between his fingers, and he couldn't stop it no matter what he did...
At this moment, he truly panicked.
Having lived for twenty-five years, he had never felt so panicked before; it felt as if his heart was being hollowed out.
He could only hold her tighter, as if that would keep her with him.
Zhou Qiqi's face turned deathly pale, and her breath became weak.
The intense pain made her lose consciousness, feel cold all over, and had a terrible pain in her chest.
The urgent shouts of Shen Huaichuan seemed to fade into the distance.
Is this what it feels like to be near death?
Looking at Shen Huaichuan's face and the tears in his eyes, she was filled with mixed emotions.
She seems to be on her last legs.
As soon as this thought arose, regret and resentment welled up in my heart.
But what follows is a great sense of happiness.
Zhou Qiqi raised her blood-stained hand, trembling as she touched Shen Huaichuan's cheek and called out to him.
"Huaichuan..."
Her fingertips were icy cold, and her voice was so faint it was almost inaudible.
"No...don't waste your energy, I...I can't...please listen to me..."
She was fully aware of her situation.
Deep inside a mine at the mountaintop, her feet were chained to the stone wall, and she had no idea where the key was. She was completely unable to move.
She was stabbed twice in the chest, and was in excruciating pain. Blood was still gushing out, suggesting that her heart had been injured.
Even if...
Even if reinforcements arrived immediately, broke the chains, and sent her from this remote mountain forest to the hospital, given the medical conditions of this era, it would probably be too late to save her.
Shen Huaichuan shook his head violently, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse, and he growled:
"You can't say that! I can save you! I will definitely save you! We still have so many things to do! You said you wanted to build a new house for the family, we wanted to have a boy and a girl, we wanted a lively and bustling home! Your clothing factory, you said you wanted to become the best designer... none of these things have come true yet, I won't let you leave like this! I won't!"
