His hair turned quite white overnight from worry, and he looked much older.
As dawn broke, the old magpie, dragging its weary body, opened the basement door.
With red eyes, Dong Guangming immediately stepped forward and asked, "How is she?"
Old Magpie waved his hand. "I did my best. The bullet was removed, but luckily it was off-center. Otherwise, even a miracle wouldn't have saved it! But alas!"
The injuries are still quite severe. Whether she'll wake up tomorrow depends on fate!
Dong Guangming staggered a couple of steps, but he knew that this was the best possible outcome.
"Old Magpie, you've worked hard! I'll bring over that ginseng you liked before tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Old Magpie was overjoyed, for he had been eyeing the Centennial Life Insurance in Dong Guangming's hand for a long time!
"Alright, alright, I'll wait. You can leave this girl here with me, I'll look after her for you. If she wakes up, she'll need proper care afterward."
There will definitely be aftereffects...
Dong Guangming hadn't rested all night and was starting to feel the strain. He nodded, glanced at the still unconscious Dong Baozhu, and then went back.
He had to go back to work and couldn't let anyone notice anything amiss.
However, Xiao Che and his wife are damned! He needs to make some serious plans!
...
On the other side, Xiao Che arrived at the scene, examined several corpses, and breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see Bai Yajing.
After carefully examining and recording the bodies and signs of the struggle around them, he handed over the rest of the work to many others and went back to find Bai Yajing.
When he returned, everyone was asleep.
Bai Yajing waited for him in the room, knowing he would definitely come back and ask her.
"You're back? Have you eaten?" She put down the book in her hand and came to greet me.
Xiao Che had no appetite. The nine men he met today were all tall, muscular, and had calluses on their hands. They were clearly experienced gunmen and quite skilled. He was terrified and felt a wave of fear wash over him.
He pulled the person into his arms and held them tightly until he was completely at ease.
Bai Yajing patted his back and said, "I'm fine, I've taken care of everyone! It's just a pity that Dong Baozhu was rescued!"
Hmph! They have no sportsmanship! Ten men tried to kill me, and then they even got reinforcements! I'm furious!
However, she's badly injured and might not survive!
Xiao Che sighed and released the person.
"Are you hurt? Are you alright?" He then went to check her wound.
Bai Yajing stopped him, saying, "It's just a minor scratch. I'm so strong, how could I possibly get hurt? Don't worry!"
"What are your plans next?" Dong Guangming guessed there would be something big going on.
Xiao Che's eyes revealed a playful smile. "I've been waiting for him to make his move personally for a long time! Only by forcing him to step into the limelight can we wipe him out in one fell swoop!"
Bai Yajing was relieved to see that he knew what was going on.
"Go wash up quickly, you smell like a corpse!" Now that the weather is hot, by the time he went to check, the corpse had already started to smell, so Xiao Che inevitably got some on her. Ordinary people couldn't smell it, but she had a keen sense of smell and could.
Xiao Che immediately stepped back a few paces. "I'll go right now."
He must smell good in his wife's eyes! He absolutely cannot smell bad!
He grabbed the clothes with lightning speed and went to the bathroom.
