Chapter 210 Unless I Die
"You want me to agree?" Huo Zhizhou's expression returned to calm.
Jiang Ruan opened her mouth.
Before he could even speak, I heard him say the second half of his sentence: "Unless I die."
Jiang Ruan's mind went blank for a moment, the dream she had last night overlapped with her current state.
The next moment.
Huo Zhizhou suddenly walked towards her.
She brandished a fruit knife and threatened, "Don't move!"
Huo Zhizhou didn't listen. As she held the blade to her neck, he grabbed her wrist and pulled it towards the knife as fast as he could. Even so, the overly sharp blade still grazed her fair neck.
Looking at the red mark, Huo Zhizhou's chest heaved violently.
If he had been a little slower, would she have actually slit her throat in front of him?
"You can only steal it once, not twice or three times." Jiang Ruan's wrist was gripped by him, and she couldn't pull it away. "If you insist on taking me back by force, I will leave even if it kills me."
This time, Huo Zhizhou didn't speak.
He gripped her wrist tightly, and his other hand, hanging by his side, trembled slightly.
Looking into her eyes, which were full of disgust, I felt a stab in my chest.
After a long while, he finally asked her, "You really don't want to go back with me?"
Jiang Ruan's eyes were more resolute than ever: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou asked calmly, "Do you hate me that much?"
Jiang Ruan: "Yes."
Huo Zhizhou: "So hateful that you wouldn't care even if I died?"
Jiang Ruan was taken aback.
She disliked him.
But not to the point of death...
Before the thought could even form, the hand he was holding was suddenly pulled forward.
"Sizzle!"
The knife tip pierced through his white shirt and into the flesh inside, instantly staining his clothes with bright red blood.
Jiang Ruan's pupils dilated, and her entire hand suddenly went limp.
"I told you I'd only let you go if I died." Huo Zhizhou still held her hand, which was stuck in his chest, and his gaze towards her remained unchanged.
Jiang Ruan's voice trembled violently: "Are you crazy?!"
She tried to press on his wound, but the bleeding was too heavy to stop!
Huo Zhizhou still held her hand: "If I don't die this time, will you come back with me after Kangfu?"
"Jiang Yu!" Jiang Ruan ignored his words and shouted hoarsely, "Call an ambulance!"
Jiang's assistant burst through the door.
When he saw the knife stuck in Huo Zhizhou's chest, he was greatly shocked: "BOSS!"
Why are they even using knives now!
"You haven't answered me yet." Huo Zhizhou didn't let go of her hand, still holding it with the knife handle.
Assistant Jiang glanced around, suppressed his emotions, calmly sealed off the hotel, called the hotel manager and asked him to bring up the medical staff in the hotel, and after giving instructions, he contacted the hospital.
After he had dealt with everything methodically, he saw that the two were still at an impasse.
What two stubborn fools...
"No." Jiang Ruan forced herself to be firm, but her chest felt tight and suffocated.
"So heartless." Huo Zhizhou raised his other hand and placed it on her face, his eyes filled with affection and tenderness, but his voice grew weaker and weaker. "Aren't you afraid that this is the last thing you'll say to me?"
Jiang Ruan felt a stab in her heart.
How could I not be afraid?
No matter how much she hated him, she wouldn't want him to die, after all, he used to be a really, really good person.
"Jiang Yu, has the doctor arrived?"
"We're almost there." This was the first time Jiang Yu had seen such a scene, and he was only able to remain calm thanks to his strong heart.
The words had barely left his mouth.
Suddenly, three or four people wearing white coats appeared at the door.
Upon seeing them appear, Huo Zhizhou released Jiang Ruan's hand and, enduring the pain of his wound, wiped away all traces on the knife related to Jiang Ruan.
He did it himself.
However, it's hard to guarantee that someone with malicious intent won't take advantage of this.
"Mr. Huo." The doctor was terrified when he saw the knife sticking straight out of his chest. "You... lie down quickly and we'll stop the bleeding."
People were coming and going all around, keeping everyone busy.
Some people were stopping the bleeding, while others were checking blood pressure and heart rate.
Jiang Ruan felt the sounds around her growing fainter and fainter, and the figures of everyone except Huo Zhizhou began to blur in her eyes.
"Miss Jiang."
"Miss Jiang?"
Assistant Jiang called her name several times.
Jiang Ruan came to her senses and realized that her hands and feet were ice cold and her hands were trembling.
"The BOSS's condition is very serious and he needs to be taken to the hospital immediately," Assistant Jiang told her. "I'll have Lin Feng take you home, and I'll contact you again once the BOSS's condition improves."
Jiang Ruan's voice was very soft: "Okay..."
Jiang, noticing her pale face, asked, "Are you alright?"
Jiang Ruan opened her slightly dry lips, looked at the person surrounded by people, and asked with difficulty, "Will he... die?"
"It's unclear at the moment, but the stab wound was quite deep." Assistant Jiang said as the doctor carried the person out of the room on a stretcher. "But don't worry too much, the BOSS is lucky."
Jiang Ruan didn't know how she got out of the hotel.
All she remembered was that when Huo Zhizhou was carried past her, his face was deathly pale, and he opened his mouth when he saw her.
She didn't hear his voice, but she understood what he meant.
He said, "[Don't be afraid.]"
She knew that Huo Zhizhou did things differently from normal people, but she didn't expect him to be so extreme.
"Jiang Ruan!" Gu Shixi called out to her loudly.
Jiang Ruan subconsciously stopped in her tracks.
Before she could turn around, Lin Feng, who had rushed over from Jingzhou that morning, stepped in front of her and blocked Gu Shixi's way: "The BOSS instructed that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach Miss Jiang."
"Get out of the way, I have something to say to her." Gu Shixi was terrified by the message Jiang Yu sent him as soon as he woke up.
He had only taken a nap.
How did these two end up stabbing each other in the back?!
Lin Feng refused: "The boss said we can't give in."
Jiang Ruan felt a mix of emotions. Looking at the tall figure blocking her way, her heart felt like it had been struck a heavy blow.
Everyone says that the attitude of the people around him towards her reflects his feelings for her, but now that Huo Zhizhou is in the hospital, Lin Feng is still protecting her on his orders.
The responsibility for the knife did not lie with her.
But no one else knew.
"Go ahead and say it," she said, her tone not particularly enthusiastic. "I'm listening."
"Don't take this to heart. Huo Er has been keeping himself in check ever since that incident." Gu Shixi's gaze fell on her. "This time, he's probably just acting crazy."
Jiang Ruan remained silent.
"Get some rest when you get back. If anyone asks about this, just pretend you don't know anything," Gu Shixi told her, sighing inwardly as he looked at her out of sorts.
Jiang Ruan: "Okay."
Gu Shixi said to Lin Feng, "Get the person back safely."
Lin Feng: "A friend's bodyguard is indispensable."
Gu Shixi: "??"
What the heck?
Lin Feng still left with Jiang Ruan.
As he watched the car drive away, the ease on Gu Shixi's face faded, leaving only heaviness in his eyes.
He immediately had someone prepare a car and went to the hospital. He just didn't understand why he was asked to comfort Jiang Ruan when she was already stabbed in the body. If he really cared, why would he make such a scene?
Thinking about these things.
He made a phone call to Si Ning.
As soon as the call connected, he told her about what was going on here, and then added, "Do you want to come over and see him one last time?"
Si Ning: "Dead?"
Gu Shixi thought about what Jiang Yu had said: "It'll be soon."
“Then let’s wait until he’s dead.” Si Ning spoke lightly and casually, seemingly not worried at all. “When you see him, tell him to use a little more force next time he uses a knife, so I can burn more paper money for him.”
Gu Shixi: "..."
