Emotions told Shen Lin that he should stop at this point, but reason told him that he should move forward.
Even Huo Yanzhi's heart was in his throat because of Xia He's words. "Chen Lin, stop. Do you want something to happen to Ningning?"
Huo Yanzhi stepped forward and grabbed Shen Lin's arm, trying to make Shen Lin stop.
Shen Lin flung his hand away. "Get away."
He kept moving forward. Huo Yanzhi couldn't understand Shen Lin's actions. Did he not care about Ye Xinning's safety at all?
Shen Lin was still walking towards Xia He and the others, saying, "Weren't you going to make a move? Go ahead and do it."
Xia He's pupils dilated. She couldn't believe that Shen Lin would say such a thing. If it weren't for his cold face and handsome features, she would have doubted that the person in front of her was Shen Lin.
Didn't Shen Lin love Ye Xinning very much? How come he's so disregarding Ye Xinning's life and death at this moment?
Xia He originally thought the person in her hands was a bargaining chip, but she didn't expect Shen Lin to be so indifferent.
She panicked immediately.
Although she was prepared to do anything to take revenge on the Ye family, she didn't want to die here if she had a chance to escape.
"What should we do, Miss Xia?" The person standing next to Xia He asked at this moment.
Xia He's face was filled with panic, which she couldn't hide no matter how hard she tried.
With each step Shen Lin took forward, she pulled Ye Xinning back a step, and the knife went deeper and deeper, with blood seeping from Ye Xinning's neck.
"Chen Lin, if you don't stop now, your woman will be gone forever in the next second!" Xia He shouted loudly, her tone filled with anxiety and unease.
She glanced behind her; behind her lay the turbulent sea, and she had no way to retreat.
Just as Xia He made up her mind and was about to exert force, a "bang" sound came from the air.
The next second, the knife in Xia He's hand fell to the ground, her wrist was shot, and blood gushed out.
Taking advantage of this moment, Ye Xinning turned around and attacked Xia He.
Xia He had no fighting skills whatsoever; it wasn't her style at all. Shen Lin seized the opportunity, stepped forward, and quickly subdued the people around Xia He.
Seeing this, Xia He gritted her teeth, grabbed Ye Xinning's hand, and turned to jump into the sea.
The previous moves had exhausted all of Ye Xinning's strength. Her hand injury was severe, and if it weren't for her strong will to survive, she probably would have fainted long ago.
At this moment, Xia He used all her strength, and although she tried her best to break free, she still couldn't.
Shen Lin was the first to notice. Watching Xia He approach the sea step by step, his heart almost stopped. He could no longer care about anything else and rushed towards Ye Xinning, grabbing her hand. At the same time, police gunshots rang out.
The gun struck Xia He's hand that was gripping Ye Xinning's without fail. Xia He cried out in pain, released her grip, and fell backward into the sea.
Shen Lin swiftly pulled Ye Xinning into his arms. She was covered in blood, the blood from her wrists staining her clothes red, and her face was deathly pale.
Shen Lin hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, it's my fault for being late."
Ye Xinning raised her hand, wanting to touch Shen Lin's face, but her hand was covered in blood. She smiled weakly, "It's not too late."
Shen Lin's eyes were red, and he didn't even notice that his hands were trembling as he held Ye Xinning. "I'll take you to the hospital."
Ye Xinning wanted to tell Shen Lin not to worry about her, but before she could finish speaking, she closed her eyes and fainted.
Seeing that Ye Xinning had fainted, Shen Lin's voice trembled, "Ningning, Ningning."
Without any reaction from the person, Shen Lin immediately got up, put his arm around Ye Xinning, and ran quickly toward the car.
Director Chen patted Shen Lin on the shoulder, "Go to the hospital with peace of mind, leave things here to me."
"Thank you for your hard work, Director Chen."
Wenzhu had already opened the car door and was waiting inside.
After Shen Lin carried the person into the car, Wen Zhu immediately started the car and drove quickly towards the hospital.
Shen Lin looked at the little woman in his arms. Her face was pale, her eyes were closed, and her body was ice-cold. Shen Lin hugged her tighter and shouted to Wen Zhu in front of him, "Hurry up."
Wenzhu: "Okay."
She was worried too. She wanted to go faster, but if she went any faster, the car would probably fly away.
Of course, Wenzhu wouldn't say that at this moment. She was focused on driving and ended up arriving at the hospital in just over half an hour, covering a journey that would normally take an hour.
Because they had been instructed in advance, Shen Nanxing and the hospital staff greeted them as soon as they arrived at the hospital entrance.
Shen Lin was reluctant to put Ye Xinning down. He held her in his arms and asked, "Where is the emergency room?"
Shen Nanxing led him, saying, "Come with me."
Shen Lin carried Ye Xinning and ran all the way to the emergency room. After finally placing her on the emergency room bed, he refused to leave. Shen Nanxing knew he was worried, but there was nothing he could do here.
"Brother, you go out first. I promise you, my sister-in-law will be fine."
Shen Lin remained standing still without making a move.
"Brother, the longer you stay here, the later I'll examine your wife. Are you going to stay here any longer?"
Shen Lin's hands hung at his sides, his body stained with Ye Xinning's blood. He gripped Shen Nanxing's shoulders and said, "You said she would be alright."
"Yes, I said it."
Shen Lin looked at Shen Nanxing for a long time before taking a step and leaving the emergency room.
As Shen Lin stepped out of the emergency room, he raised his eyes slightly and saw Huo Yanzhi standing against the wall not far away. Besides Huo Yanzhi, there were also Shen Tingchi and others who had rushed over after hearing the news.
Without a second thought, Shen Lin walked straight towards Huo Yanzhi and, without saying a word, swung his fist at Huo Yanzhi.
How dare you show your face here?
No one expected Shen Lin to make a move, including Chi Zhao and Shen Ting.
The first thing the two of them did after realizing what was happening was to step forward and pull Shen Lin back.
"Big brother." Shen Ting stopped him. This was a hospital, and it was not appropriate to start a fight when people were coming and going.
Huo Yanzhi, who had been hit, stood there with his head down, blood trickling from the corner of his lips, but he didn't care at all and showed no intention of retaliating.
Shen Lin stared coldly at Huo Yanzhi, "You keep talking about love, but all you do is team up with someone like Xia He and put her in danger?"
Huo Yan remained silent. His silence and forbearance were not because the person opposite him was Shen Lin, but because he knew that he had indeed made a mistake in this matter.
If he had been able to discern Xia He's intentions earlier, and if he had thought more carefully when Xia He approached him for cooperation, would he have prevented her from falling into such danger?
