Chapter 692 Zhong Yi, I recognized you
Qiao Xi's voice was trembling, but firm.
"Zhongyi, I know you are Yi."
Zhong Yi looked at her in a daze.
Those beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions.
His voice was hoarse from blood loss: "When did you know?"
"Very early."
Qiao Xi held his hand and placed her fingertips on his wrist to feel his pulse.
Then, with a frown on her face, she reached out to take off his coat. Zhong Yi's long, bony hands, stained with blood, tightly grasped her wrists.
"Be obedient and leave first. I really can save myself. It's Wan Jiang who's making a fuss."
Qiao Xi raised her eyes, anger burning in them. "If you chase me away again, I will continue to fight you. Then, we will die here together."
Zhong Yi knew that she kept her word.
He gradually loosened his grip.
Qiao Xi tore open his suit jacket, revealing the shirt underneath was already stained with blood.
He had knife wounds on his abdomen and shoulder.
There was even a gunshot wound on his right leg.
There were also some hideous bruises and swellings, which showed that there had been a fierce fight.
Qiao Xi closed her eyes, her throat feeling as if it were clogged with cotton. "The conditions here are not good. I can only try my best to stop the bleeding for you."
She didn't ask why it happened like this.
But she knew that the Zhong family, standing at the pinnacle of power, would also become a sitting duck for all those who looked up to them.
She tore open his shirt; there wasn't even gauze or alcohol.
There is only one set of long needles.
Qiao Xi calmly inserted a long needle into the most acupoint in his arm.
He took another long needle and pierced his abdomen.
Acupuncture and moxibustion in traditional Chinese medicine have been very effective in stopping bleeding since ancient times.
She inserted the needle calmly, but her tears fell on his wrist.
Zhong Yi pursed his lips tightly and looked at her delicate and bright face.
She should be dressed up to attend the Tianyuan Group branch's banquet tonight, attended by many celebrities. She should be with Huo Xingzhou under the bright lights, not in a dark and dangerous corner with him.
He had clearly made up his mind not to let her get involved in this dispute.
But he didn't expect that she was smart and had guessed his identity long ago, but kept it secret.
I don’t know how much torment I suffered in my heart.
The person who suffered the most from his "fake death" was her.
But today, I saw her running towards me regardless of everything.
A hint of joy welled up in his heart.
You see, there is always a place for him in her heart.
"Xixi."
He called out softly.
"Shut up."
Qiao Xi scolded in a hoarse voice.
Zhong Yi knew she was angry, but the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously: "I asked Wan Jiang to find a boat. There are tens of thousands of ships docked at the dock, including cruise ships, cargo ships, and some personal boats. Zhong Lingxiao can't bribe all the ships at the dock, and we can't go on land. We can go out to sea, circle the Thirteen Bays, and return to the imperial city from the other side."
He is not a spent force.
A cunning rabbit has three burrows.
I really fell into the trap set by the Pei family and Zhong Lingxiao tonight. I didn't expect Zhong Lingxiao to have some brains.
I didn't expect that the seemingly neutral Pei family was secretly helping Zhong Lingxiao to get to the top.
But he still has a way out.
Qiao Xi stared at him: "If I hadn't come, how would you have managed to get from the Thirteen Bay Wharf back to the Imperial City with all your blood on your body?"
Death is certain!
Zhong Yi looked at her with a smile on his lips.
That's right.
But he would rather die than drag her into this quagmire.
Otherwise, he would not have left Moon Village, causing the two to miss each other for so many years.
Maybe... maybe if he hadn't left, he would be the one she married now.
He is not the Young Master Zhong of the Imperial Capital, and she is not the Madam Huo, nor is she an apprentice of the Imperial Doctor.
Things in this world are unpredictable.
Just a thought can bring about earth-shaking changes in your life.
"How can you still laugh?" Qiao Xi glanced at him and said in a low voice.
"I'm so happy to see you. I feel like I have no regrets even in death."
When Qiao Xi looked at him again, there was a sharp warning in her eyes.
"You die easily, leaving the living to suffer."
If Zhong Yi really died tonight, Qiao Xi would never be able to get over that obsession.
She had already faced his death once, and if it happened a second time, she would be tormented by pain and despair for the rest of her life.
Ayi’s death is a knot in her heart.
A knot in the heart that haunts nightmares.
"The evil will last for thousands of years. It's not easy for me to die. What's more..." Zhong Yi raised his eyes and looked at her deeply.
What’s more, there is no Qiao Xi in the underworld.
Qiao Xi looked down at his wound and said, "Just stay still. The bleeding has stopped now. I can't pull out the needle."
Once you pull it out, the wound will bleed again.
"As you say."
Zhong Yi leaned against the shelf, his face as pale as gold paper.
Anyone who saw him knew that he could not hold on any longer.
It was entirely due to his impressive perseverance that he still had time to chat and laugh with Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi knew that he always liked to act nonchalant, so she ignored him. She just frowned and listened to the noise outside, the sound of footsteps coming and going.
There were even people who came in to see what was happening. Her heart was pounding for fear of being discovered.
But soon someone left.
Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard footsteps approaching again.
She picked up a long needle and hid behind the shelf, thinking that if the person who came was a stranger, she would use the flying needle technique to pierce his acupoints.
The atmosphere is tense.
She had forgotten how cold the weather was in December and felt as if her whole body was frozen.
"Mr. Zhong."
"Mr. Zhong."
Wan Jiang lowered his voice and called out softly.
When Qiao Xi heard the familiar voice, her whole body went limp.
Wan Jiang walked around the shelves and came to them. When he saw Qiao Xi, he was immediately moved to tears.
"Miss Qiao, that's great! I didn't expect you to actually come. I... I've contacted a cruise ship and can leave right now. Luckily, the young master didn't block all the roads tonight."
Wan Jiang was also in a mess, with scars of all sizes all over his body.
"Then help him up, and be careful not to touch the needle. I'll call Lao Chen, and we'll go together."
The white dress she was wearing was also stained with Zhong Yi's blood. If she ran out like this, she would definitely be noticed by someone.
I could only follow Zhong Yi and leave from the sea.
The future is unknown.
She clenched her palms, feeling a little cold.
The dock in the dead of winter was even colder, and every gust of wind penetrated her bones. She shivered with cold, but dared not make a sound.
Qiao Xi caught a glimpse of Zhong Yi's pale face in the darkness and knew that he had reached his limit.
She whispered a few words of comfort, but the man still managed to force a smile at her.
Lao Chen protected them as they got off the lifeboat from the side of cargo hold 0782, and then walked around for dozens of meters before boarding the cruise ship.
Along the way, Qiao Xi even breathed very lightly.
She knew that those people were destined to be her favorites.
They…could also kill her.
at this time.
There was suddenly some commotion on the dock, attracting many people.
Old Chen whispered, "Young Madam, hurry up and leave now!"
"sail!"
There was nothing wrong with a cruise ship sailing at night, but leaving the dock at this time was very telling!
I don't know who shouted.
"The person is on that cruise ship. Go after him in a speedboat!"
