"Brother... Brother... Look at me... I am Jinyue..." Her voice instantly changed from a scream to a broken whimper, and she bent down with boundless heartbreak and fear.
She approached Ye Qingliu's bloodless face cautiously.
"I'm sorry... Bro... Bro... I'm late... I'm sorry...
The moment she approached, Ye Qingliu's tightly closed eyelashes trembled very slightly, as if attracted by the familiar breath and desperate call.
The gray-blue eyes struggled to open a crack, and the vision was blurred and focused on Hua Jinyue's little face full of tears, fear and heartache.
"...Jin...yue..." An extremely weak, almost inaudible sound escaped from his cracked lips.
The voice was hoarse and broken, but it carried a sense of confirmation and subconscious comfort.
Seeing her brother open his eyes, Hua Jinyue's tears flowed even more fiercely, great joy and deeper pain intertwined: "Brother! It's me! It's me! How are you? Does it hurt? Ah?"
She was incoherent, wanting to touch him but not daring to, and was at a loss.
Ye Qingliu's eyes were unfocused, as if he was trying hard to see his sister clearly, but he was too weak.
His gaze shifted with difficulty, landing on his hand, which was tightly wrapped by Sun Guixiang and placed outside the quilt. There were still traces of dried blood and a broken wound on the palm of his hand.
Almost subconsciously, Ye Qingliu moved the finger held by Sun Guixiang very weakly, as if he wanted to pull his hand back and hide it under the quilt.
A tiny movement, not wanting his sister to see his messy wound.
This subtle gesture made Hua Jinyue's heart feel like it was being cut into pieces! Even after all this, he still wanted to stop her from worrying?!
"Brother! Don't move! Don't move!" Hua Jinyue cried, carefully holding down his hand that was held by Sun Guixiang, preventing it from moving and affecting the wound.
It was the first time that her gaze truly fell on Sun Guixiang, with scrutiny and a hint of barely perceptible gratitude - was it the old man who had been holding her brother's hand?
"What's going on?! What on earth happened?! He was fine when I left! Where's the doctor?! Where's the doctor on duty?!"
Hua Jinyue suddenly looked up, and the tears in her eyes were instantly replaced by anger. Like an angry lioness, she harshly questioned the medical staff and security guards in the ward.
A security captain stepped forward and quickly recounted the thrilling assassination that had taken place earlier: how three killers disguised as doctors and nurses suddenly attacked during a routine inspection, with the clear goal of killing the nightclub.
"And how Mr. Ye, despite being seriously injured, fought alone against three assassins. Finally, with Sun Guixiang desperately calling for help and intervening, he cooperated with the security guards who arrived and subdued the assassins. However, Mr. Ye's injuries worsened rapidly..."
"Three killers?! Disguised as doctors and nurses?!"
Hua Jinyue's voice was as cold as ice. She turned her head abruptly, her eyes shooting towards the ward door like a poisoned knife.
There, the doctor-killer, handcuffed and with a blood-soaked gauze wrapped around his neck, was being escorted by two security guards, awaiting further processing.
Hua Jinyue's figure appeared in front of the killer like a ghost! The speed was so fast that the security guards couldn't react!
"Tell me! Did Ye Linyuan send you here?!" Her voice was not loud, but it carried a chilling sense of oppression.
Her fingers gripped the killer's chin like an iron clamp, forcing him to look up and meet her eyes burning with hellfire.
The killer was frightened out of his wits by the devastating hatred in Hua Jinyue's eyes, and the severe pain in his jaw made him unable to resist.
The fear he had been able to hold onto when facing Ye Qingliu before now completely collapsed, and he screamed incoherently: "It's...it's Second Master Ye! Ye Linyuan! It's him! He wants Boss Ye to die! He will never wake up!"
"Ye Linyuan..." Hua Jinyue squeezed out these three words from between his teeth, each syllable was soaked with deep hatred.
The knuckles of her fingers that were pinching the killer's chin turned white due to the force, and her nails were almost digging into his flesh!
At this moment, the killer seemed to be pushed to his limit by Hua Jinyue's terrifying eyes.
In desperation, he seemed to have remembered some bargaining chip to save his life, and added in a hoarse voice: "Second Master... Second Master also said... Miss, you... you have your own arrangements... We... we are only responsible for this side..."
boom--!
These words were like thunder, striking Hua Jinyue's mind fiercely!
Own arrangements?!
The blood color on Hua Jinyue's face instantly faded away. The hand that was pinching the killer suddenly loosened and his body shook uncontrollably.
This is all a trap! A diversion! A lure to lure the tiger away from the mountain!
Second Uncle, that old fox! He knew that as a "brother complex" girl, she would personally handle any clues that might be detrimental to her brother, regardless of the consequences!
He had deliberately set out the bait to lure her away from her brother! To create the perfect moment for her to be "absent"! And then... to send these deadly snakes to devour her defenseless, severely injured and weakened brother!
“Ah——!!!” Hua Jinyue suddenly let out a shrill scream that was not like a human voice. The voice was filled with rage of being fooled, overwhelming hatred and boundless self-blame.
She hated her second uncle's viciousness, but she hated her own stupidity even more! It was her! She was the one who believed the clues and left her brother!
It was she who gave those killers an opportunity! It was she who caused her brother to suffer even more injuries, leaving him with a possible lifelong disability!
The huge impact made her eyes go black and her body swayed. She turned around abruptly and stumbled back to Ye Qingliu's bedside.
