Chapter 173: Baby, I'm so worried
Everyone's gaze followed the direction in which the steel bar fell, looking at Xu Yihuan.
Xu Yihuan's figure had disappeared, replaced by a nine-meter-long steel bar.
"Xu Yihuan!!"
Jiang Jinnan's face turned pale, and the raincoat in his hand was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. He quickly ran towards the person on the ground.
The heavy rain blurred everyone's vision.
All that could be heard were soft moans.
As long as I can still make a sound, that's good. Jiang Jinan kept comforting himself with this thought.
The rain grew heavier, and the bloodstains beneath Xu Yihuan were washed away and spread by the rain.
Soon everyone realized that something was wrong.
"Oh no, how come there's so much blood?"
"Help! Someone's in danger!"
"Wait! Something's not right! Why are there two people here?!"
Jiang Jinnan's legs went weak, and with bloodshot eyes, he squatted down in front of Xu Yihuan, only then noticing the person pressing down on Xu Yihuan.
It was Pei Yuli?!
What is he doing here?!
Jiang Jinnan was filled with doubt and trepidation, and reached out his hand with trembling hands.
With everyone's help, the steel bars were completely moved away.
The rain was too heavy to see the injuries of the people below, but the blood was washed away by the rain and quickly formed a shallow stream.
Jiang Jinnan's heart skipped a beat, a feeling of suffocation surged up, his hands trembled as if he had Parkinson's disease, and he couldn't do anything.
I wanted to call 120, but sadly found that I couldn't even hold my phone.
In the end, it was Engineer Zhang who reacted first and called for emergency medical assistance.
Jiang Jinnan looked at the two bodies on the ground, with only one thought in his mind.
Fortunately, Pei Yuli arrived; otherwise, how could Xu Yihuan, with her small frame, have withstood a steel bar hitting her?
While waiting for the ambulance, a clear and clean voice came over.
"Pei Yuli!! Pei Yuli!!"
Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Jinnan's heart skipped a beat, and his sharp gaze shot towards Jiang Tingbai.
Why would he be here at this time?
Jiang Jinnan seemed to have thought of something, and immediately looked up at the spot where Xiao Liu had been standing. Now, that spot was completely empty.
...
At this moment, outside the Tan family's old house, a fierce storm raged, but inside the house, everything was peaceful.
Tan Zhixu was sitting and chatting with his grandfather.
He gave the old man perfunctory replies while absentmindedly twirling his phone, seemingly waiting for a message from someone.
Looking at Tan Zhixu, Grandpa Tan couldn't help but smile mysteriously: "How have you been at school lately?"
Tan Zhixu turned his phone absentmindedly: "It was alright. I just finished a match. It wasn't as difficult as I imagined."
"Who asked you about the competition?"
Tan Zhixu continued to play dumb: "Ah, is it Jing Shuang? I've been exposed to it since I was a child, and I never felt it was that difficult."
Old Master Tan tapped his cane in exasperation: "You brat, you know perfectly well what I want to ask!!"
"How are things going between you and that girl?"
Tan Zhixu paused, his hand still on his phone. "It's fine. What do you want to do?"
"If you get along well, bring her home to meet me! Let me meet her properly too! I've already prepared a gift for her, you brat, you can't let me leave without spending it!"
The old man's beard twitched with anger.
Tan Zhixu burst out laughing.
"Okay, I understand. I'll bring him to meet you when I have the chance."
"What chance? I want to see her right now, call her!" The older Grandpa Tan got, the more willful he became, banging his cane on the ground.
The butler, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and hesitated to speak.
Tan Zhixu glanced at him, and was about to say something when his phone rang.
Tan Zhixu casually swiped the screen and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
It's unclear what he heard, but Tan Zhixu's delicate features instantly lost all color.
He stood up and tried to walk outside, but in his haste, he slammed his ankle hard against the table leg.
Grandpa Tan couldn't help but grimace at the sight; it must have hurt so much.
But Tan Zhixu seemed oblivious, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay...okay! I'm coming right away!"
"What's wrong?"
Tan Zhixu didn't have time to explain; he grabbed his coat and rushed out the door.
As Grandpa Tan watched his grandson's figure disappear, his face finally darkened.
"Butler Chen, go and find out what exactly happened?"
It's quite rare for Ah Xu to lose his composure like this.
He only has one grandson, and he wants to see who dares to go against Ah Xu!
Thinking about it, Grandpa Tan couldn't stop coughing again.
"Cough cough cough..."
Butler Chen immediately went to the kitchen and brought out a bowl of warmed medicine.
"Sir, this can't go on. You should have a drink."
Old Master Tan glanced casually at the things in Butler Chen's hands.
"No need. I know my own body condition. If I were a few years younger, I would have taken this medicine, but I'm already this old, and I don't want to suffer so much anymore."
The old man spoke with great conviction.
He started taking medication three years ago, and now that he's finally grown up and has a girlfriend, he doesn't have to work so hard anymore.
As long as Tan Zhixu is doing well, he can be considered to have fulfilled the expectations his wife had given him.
Grandpa Tan quietly watched the direction Tan Zhixu had left in. Even though the area was empty and deserted, his gaze remained fixed on it, only now tinged with sadness.
...
Xu Yihuan had just woken up in the hospital.
I vaguely moved my fingers and felt the IV drip in my hand.
With her eyelashes trembling slightly, she opened her eyes and was greeted by a blanket of white.
As her gaze unconsciously swept around, the light suddenly caught a glimpse of crimson light, and Xu Yihuan's eyes froze.
Tan Zhixu held Xu Yihuan tightly with one hand, staring intently at her.
He was afraid she would slip away from his sight.
Xu Yihuan found it amusing and twitched her lips.
What's wrong with you?
Tan Zhixu's face was extremely pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and he wanted to hold Xu Yihuan's hand tightly, but he was afraid of hurting her.
I could only hold onto the blanket myself.
"Next time, you can't go out with Jiang Jinnan by yourself anymore. Even if it's just to check on the construction site, I have to come with you!"
Tan Zhixu's tone left no room for argument.
Xu Yihuan never expected that something would happen at this time.
He twitched the corner of his mouth, raised his wrist, and quietly looked at Tan Zhixu.
Tan Zhixu and Xu Yihuan were locked in a stalemate for a few seconds, but in the end, Tan Zhixu gave in and lowered his head, rubbing his head against her palm.
"Baby, I'm very worried about you."
Xu Yihuan smiled and said, "Good girl."
"I will definitely protect myself better next time."
As Xu Yihuan spoke, her mind drifted into thought again.
She remembers the steel bar falling straight down on her.
But at the very last moment, it seemed someone protected her? But who was that person?
