Chapter 235 Do you want Gu Xingnian, or do you want the child?
Why is this happening? Fu Beichen didn't know why he suddenly felt an unbearable heartache.
Nian Nian...
Nian Nian, nothing can happen to you.
His steps faltered; no, he couldn't go on.
Niannian must still be here.
She must still be around here; she... is waiting for him.
"Keep searching." His tone was urgent and aggressive.
Chen Sen stepped forward to help him up, handed him a bottle of water, and looked around at the surrounding terrain.
"I remember coming here to play when I was a child, and there seemed to be an abandoned air-raid shelter here..."
"Let's split up and search." Fu Beichen glanced around at the three mountains behind them, jumped into the car, and drove towards the highest one.
At this moment, the capital city was in turmoil. Dark clouds filled the sky, so low they seemed to weigh down on the entire city, and a torrential downpour was brewing.
In the cold operating room.
Gu Xingnian looked up and saw a handsome but extremely haggard face appear above her.
He had lost a lot of weight, and his eye sockets were sunken, but his eyes were still frighteningly bright.
Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat.
"Dr. Ling...it's you?"
She found that her hands and feet were immobilized and she could not move.
"Let me go!"
Ling Zhong was only wearing a casual suit. He looked at her, twitched the corners of his mouth, and gave a strange smile.
"My dear sister, welcome back to the Bai family."
Sister? Gu Xingnian was completely dumbfounded and her mind went blank.
Ling Zhong chuckled softly.
"It seems that Fu Beichen did not tell you about my identity or my illness."
"Actually, I am your half-brother, but the Bai family has never raised me for a single day."
He reached out and gently stroked his chest, the movement very slow.
“I’ve had a weak heart since I was a child. I’ve managed to hold on for so many years, but now it’s starting to fail. I don’t want to die.”
There was no sadness in his eyes, only a calm that had burned out completely.
"Sister, can you save me? I've searched the whole world, and only your heart is the one that suits me best."
"Because you and I have the same blood, the same genes, and we're a match."
He smiled, paused for a moment, and continued.
"Sister, thank you for developing this anesthetic. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to perform this surgery; it was too painful."
After saying that, he took out a syringe containing a light red liquid from his suit pocket.
The information he shared left Gu Xingnian utterly shocked.
She quickly added, "Heart failure can be treated, I can save you."
Ling Zhong shook his head, his eyes filled with despair and sorrow. "If only I had known you were my sister earlier. But I can't wait any longer. The doctor said I only have three months left."
“Three months is enough. The cardiovascular reagent that Mu’s is producing will help you and can prolong your life.” Gu Xingnian said this with certainty and without any intention of deception.
Ling Zhong denied her again, "But Fu Beichen and Bai Yu will not let me go. I have no way out."
"Ling Zhong, let me go. I won't let them make things difficult for you." Gu Xingnian raised her voice, her tone urgent. "Everyone has the right to live. I will definitely let you live. Believe me."
"I'm sorry, you can't go back today!"
After saying that, he put on a green surgical gown and sterile gloves.
Gu Xingnian's pupils constricted in shock, a chill ran from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, and her scalp tingled instantly.
Does he really want to win her heart?
"Ling Zhong, I really can save you, please don't hurt me!" Gu Xingnian cried out in terror.
"Don't be afraid, you'll feel better after a good night's sleep, it won't hurt." He walked up to her, gently stroking her hair, his voice as gentle as the wind.
After saying that, he took a syringe, drew up a tube of light red anesthetic solution, and was about to inject it into her intravenous fluid.
Just then, the door suddenly opened.
A man rushed in nervously and said, "Brother Chong, the people at the port have all left. It seems they didn't find this place."
"However, the authorities have issued a notice that all offshore channels are closed, so we probably won't be able to leave."
Ling Zhong paused for a moment, as if he was considering something.
"Go out and keep watch. I only need an hour." He spoke coldly again. This was his last chance to live, and he couldn't give it up.
The man by the door nodded, turned and walked out, closing the heavy operating room door behind him.
He planned three offshore routes, but they never imagined that his path to survival would be underwater.
Therefore, he will definitely be able to take this heart out with him.
"No, Ling Zhong, stop!" Gu Xingnian screamed, shaking her head desperately, tears streaming down her face, utterly overwhelmed by piercing fear and despair.
How could she give her heart to him? She still had her baby to protect, and she still needed to go back to see Fu Beichen.
"I'm sorry." He uttered three words softly, picked up a syringe, and slowly injected the light red liquid into the IV drip line.
The colorless liquid was instantly stained with an eerie color.
If he opens that valve, she will fall asleep forever in just fifteen seconds.
"Ling Zhong, let me go. I really can save you. Please give me a month."
"Ling Zhong, no!" She struggled desperately, but her body was bound and she couldn't move.
"Don't be afraid." Ling Zhong uttered these two words softly, his slender fingers already opening the valve.
One drop, two drops... the icy liquid slid down the tube.
Gu Xing's scalp tingled, fear made her tremble all over, and Fu Beichen's face suddenly appeared in her mind.
His gentle words still echoed in my ears, "From now on, whenever you encounter an emergency, just call out 'husband,' and I'll appear immediately, okay?"
"Fu Beichen, where are you?" she murmured, her vision blurring as tears rolled down her cheeks.
This may be the last time she calls his name in her life.
Ling Zhong paused, wondering who she could call now. A pipe dream.
She felt a wave of dizziness and, with her last strength, whispered desperately, "Husband...save me..."
"Whoosh—"
The operating room door was suddenly flung open with tremendous force.
Fu Beichen's tall figure appeared at the door like a god descending from the heavens.
"Nian Nian!"
He saw her on the operating table and cried out in surprise. His eyes were bloodshot as he rushed over, his clenched fist carrying the force of thunder, and punched Ling Zhong two meters away.
He saw the dripping liquid, his pupils suddenly contracted, and without thinking, he reached out and ripped off the end connected to the needle.
“Fu Beichen, sob sob…” Gu Xingnian looked at him and couldn’t help but burst into tears.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, baby, your husband is here, it's alright." He leaned down and kissed her cold face repeatedly with his burning lips, his large hands trembling as he comforted her.
He reached out to untie the bandages on her hands, when suddenly, six burly men rushed in through the door, each holding a gleaming knife and looking menacing.
"Take care of him and take him away." Ling Zhong stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and coldly gave the order.
Fu Beichen stopped untying her and kissed her forehead deeply.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of them and then take you home. Hmm?" His voice was deep and powerful, carrying a reassuring quality.
Six sharp knives swung at him simultaneously, the air filled with the hissing sound of blades slicing through the air.
Fu Beichen dodged to the side, grabbed a metal chair from beside the bed, and swung it with all his might. With a loud clang, it blocked several weapons that were coming at him.
He strode to the other side of the room to draw the battle away, so as to prevent them from accidentally injuring Gu Xingnian on the operating table.
Despite being surrounded by several burly men, the tall man showed no signs of distress, his attacks were ruthless and his punches and kicks were as swift as the wind.
Several armed thugs were no match for him.
Before long, Fu Beichen gained the upper hand.
In the chaos, a knife still managed to slash his left arm, and blood gushed out instantly, staining his light-colored clothes red.
Gu Xingnian looked at the glaring red and felt a pang of heartache.
Clang! Clang!
The sound of the knife hitting the ground rang out, and three of the men were already curled up on the ground, groaning in pain.
The other three, also with bruises on their faces, looked at him in fear and dared not approach.
"Stop!" Ling Zhong suddenly shouted.
At this moment, he held a sharp scalpel in his hand, its cold blade pressed directly against Gu Xingnian's lower abdomen.
Fu Beichen turned around and was so frightened that his heart stopped beating.
"Fu Beichen, tell me, do you want to continue the abortion, or do you want to keep the child?"
As Ling Zhong spoke, he yanked off the thin blanket covering Gu Xingnian, lifting up her clothes and exposing her round belly without any cover.
Gu Xingnian trembled with fright; her baby could no longer be hidden.
Fu Beichen was also completely astonished. It turned out that her child was really still alive!
“I heard you once wanted to abort this child. Now I can help you.” Ling Zhong smiled maliciously.
Gu Xingnian looked at Fu Beichen, shaking her head desperately, shouting, "No! Don't hurt him!"
Fu Beichen took two steps closer, his eyes sharp as knives, yet he was yielding, "Ling Zhong, let her go, and I'll let you leave."
Ling Zhong laughed, as if he had heard the biggest joke of the century.
"Fu Beichen, the chips are in my hands now. Tell me, do you want Gu Xingnian's life, or your child's life?"
"Let her go!" Fu Beichen's voice was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
"Since you can't make the choice, I'll choose for you."
After saying that, Ling Zhong raised the scalpel high and plunged it into her lower abdomen.
"No!" Gu Xingnian cried out in alarm, closing her eyes in fright.
But the expected pain did not come. Instead, a hot and firm chest suddenly pounced on her, protecting her and her stomach.
The sharp scalpel plunged straight into Fu Beichen's back.
He groaned in pain, his body trembling violently.
"Fu Beichen!" Gu Xingnian was stunned; she hadn't expected him to pounce on her.
Just then, one of the thugs rushed over.
"Swish!" A sharp blade slashed hard across his back, instantly tearing his skin and causing blood to gush out.
Gu Xingnian cried, tears streaming down her face. "Fu Beichen, get away! Get away from me!"
He smiled at her, his lips pale, and said, "Don't be afraid, it won't hurt. I won't let anything happen to you or the baby."
Ling Zhong gave him a look, and the other two men raised their knives and slashed his back twice more.
"Swish swish..." Blood gushed out, landing on Gu Xingnian's body.
He trembled violently twice, but remained motionless, like a mountain, protecting her tightly.
"Ling Zhong, stop! Don't hurt him!" Gu Xingnian broke down, tears streaming down her face. "Fu Beichen... get away from me!"
"Fu Beichen, this child isn't yours, are you going to protect it with your life?" Ling Zhong laughed; he enjoyed watching this kind of tragic drama.
"I will not allow anyone to harm her in the slightest!" Fu Beichen's tone was filled with earth-shattering rage.
He suddenly flashed forward, so fast that no one could see his movements, and grabbed Ling Zhong from behind.
That large, blood-soaked hand, like an iron clamp, tightly gripped Ling Zhong's neck.
"Brother Chong!" The three thugs were startled.
"Untie him." This time it was Fu Beichen's turn to give the order, his voice as cold as ice.
The three men didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly untied Gu Xingnian.
Gu Xingnian ran to his side crying, her heart breaking at the sight of him covered in blood.
"Don't cry, open the door, let's go," Fu Beichen said calmly.
At this moment, his face was as pale as paper, blood was gushing out like a spring, and he was a little dizzy.
Gu Xingnian pushed open the operating room door. Outside was a pitch-black corridor with only a few dim wall lamps, making it look like a cave.
"Anyone who dares to step out of this door will be killed instantly."
Fu Beichen, holding Ling Zhong hostage, walked out of the operating room step by step, then slammed the door shut behind him.
The three men indeed dared not pursue them any further.
After walking about ten meters, Fu Beichen exerted force with his arm and knocked Ling Zhong unconscious with a chop to the ground. Then he grabbed Gu Xingnian's hand and ran outside.
Gu Xingnian held his large hand, which was covered in sticky blood, and felt incredibly at ease...
Once outside, Gu Xingnian helped him into the car, then sat in the driver's seat, started the car, and drove towards the port.
Suddenly, two black cars pulled up behind them. Gu Xingnian nervously stared at the rearview mirror and desperately accelerated.
Fu Beichen turned his head to look at her, his voice weak, "Don't be afraid, hold on... to the steering wheel."
Suddenly, a heavy force struck from behind, causing Gu Xingnian to veer off course and crash into a roadside utility pole.
"Bang!"
At the critical moment, Fu Beichen suddenly turned to the side and hugged her tightly.
A man in a suit stepped out of the black car behind.
That's right, it was Mu Yanchen who came down; this port is his territory.
He walked a few steps to the car.
"Sizzle—"
With a loud crash, he ripped open the deformed car door with his bare hands.
He lowered his eyes, his gaze falling on the car interior.
When he saw Fu Beichen, covered in blood, clinging tightly to Gu Xingnian, his deep pupils suddenly contracted, and his brow twitched violently.
The next second.
Without the slightest hesitation, he reached out and forcefully pushed Fu Beichen away.
He bent down, his long, slender fingers precisely unbuckling Gu Xingnian's seatbelt, and then carefully lifted the unconscious woman out of the cramped space.
His actions carried a sense of cherishing something lost and then regained.
“Xixi…”
Fu Beichen struggled to open his eyes, his vision already blurring. He could only see a tall silhouette carrying away his beloved girl.
"Niannian..." he called out, his voice hoarse and barely audible.
He wanted to climb over and snatch her back.
But he was extremely dizzy, feeling as if all his strength had been drained, and even lifting a finger was a luxury.
Mu Yanchen suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He didn't turn around, but his voice was as cold as if it had been chilled to the bone.
"Push the car into the sea."
The words had barely left his mouth.
A car behind quickly started moving, its black front end blocking the dilapidated car in front.
The engine roared.
The car was slowly, inch by inch, pushed towards the edge of the road...
