Yi Yi's heart was pounding in her throat. She instinctively opened her mouth, but it was too late to call for help.
The dagger whistled past Yi Yi's clothes on her shoulder, and she almost stopped breathing.
The next moment, before she could react, Yi felt a dizzying sensation and fell into a thick embrace.
The gleaming dagger was aimed at her heart, but just before it pierced through, it quickly changed direction and stabbed into Mu Nanxun's chest.
In trying to protect Yi Yi, Mu Nanxun didn't have time to dodge and was stabbed squarely in the heart by the dagger. Instantly, blood gushed out, quickly staining her white shirt red and stinging her eyes.
"Smack!"
She heard the "crack" of a leather shoe breaking teeth, and then the masked assassin in black fled in panic.
Only after the man in black had run far away did Mu Nanxun finally frown, clutching his chest, and gently put Yi Yi down. His face was deathly pale.
"Mumu, you're hurt! Why did you save me? Are you crazy? Why would you risk your life for mine! You big idiot!"
"You're the fool. This person's target was me from the beginning. He just used you as bait to distract me."
Large beads of sweat dripped down his chiseled cheeks, and Mu Nanxun found it increasingly difficult to speak.
Based on their respective strengths, this person was no match for him and couldn't possibly have injured him. But the other party was clever; seemingly knowing he would protect Yi Yi, he feigned an attempt to assassinate Yi Yi, which is how he fell into the trap.
It's another masked man.
Although there were no men in black guarding the area, it was still the Maple Waterfront Villa District, and the fact that he could come and go freely inside showed that he was indeed no ordinary person.
Blood gushed out continuously, almost staining his entire shirt red. Tears streamed down Yi Yi's face involuntarily, and her chest felt as if something was blocking it.
"Mumu, what should I do? What should I do? There's so much blood, you'll die!"
In her desperation, Yi felt as if the sky was about to fall. Her soft sobs quickly turned into wailing, "Help, ambulance, yes, call an ambulance."
Wiping away her tears, Yi Yi took out her phone and was about to dial when Mu Nanxun stopped her, saying, "Use, use my phone to call Xiao Fang."
"Xiao Fang, okay, I'll call him."
With a trembling voice, Yi told Xiao Fang about Mu Nanxun's assassination attempt, her hands still shaking uncontrollably. She had never felt so afraid, so terrified that her whole body trembled uncontrollably, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls.
"Don't cry, I won't die."
Mu Nanxun managed a weak smile, raised his hand, and tried to wipe away Yi Yi's tears, but instead of wiping them away, he smeared his own blood onto her face.
"Really? You really won't die? Don't lie to me."
As if he had given her assurance, Yi Yi's uneasy and fearful heart finally calmed down a bit. Ignoring the tears and blood smeared on her face, she burst into laughter, laughing like a little kitten.
"Of course, in this world, no one can kill me yet..."
Before he could finish speaking, Mu Nanxun's hand fell limply to his side, and he fainted, his face pale.
...
Two hours later, at Maple Waterfront Villa.
Mu Nanxun had been carried into the operating room for over an hour. During that time, people in white coats kept coming in and out, each with a solemn expression and brisk steps, not daring to stop for even a moment.
