Gu Liyan had a feeling of unease, but she didn't know where it came from. Not long after, Dean Gao rushed in, looking flustered.
Hua Baixian knew something bad was coming when she saw Dean Gao enter, and immediately said irritably, "Dean Gao, can you please not bring bad news with you every time you come? I'm getting tired of you!"
Hearing Hua Baixian's words, Gu Liyan couldn't help but smile and say, "Yes, Dean Gao, it would be good if you brought some good news. This is making me feel uneasy."
Dean Gao's face was grim, and he said urgently, "This time it's really a big deal. Come with me for a moment."
Upon hearing this, Hua Baixian couldn't help but mutter, "What major event could possibly happen?"
Gu Liyan subconsciously thought of Lin Momo, and his face instantly darkened. Ignoring his injuries, he tried to sit up and said, "Xiao Bai, help me up."
Seeing Gu Liyan's expression, Hua Baixian dared not say or ask any more questions and hurriedly stepped forward to support him.
After Gu Liyan sat in the wheelchair, he saw Dean Gao's anxious expression and said, "Let's go."
Dean Gao led Gu Liyan and the other person to the office, opened the door to the secret room, and gently said, "Please come in, both of you."
Hua Baixian pushed the wheelchair inside, while Gu Liyan's expression remained solemn, his unease growing stronger.
Hua Baixian stopped walking, and the wheelchair also came to a stop.
Hua Baixian stared in astonishment at Lin Momo lying on the hospital bed, her eyes wrapped in white gauze, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Momo! She, what's wrong with her...?"
Gu Liyan's face was grim. He looked at Lin Momo, whose eyes were not only covered with gauze, but also had a thick layer of wounds on her arms. He turned his head and asked Dean Gao in a low voice, "What happened to her eyes? And how did she get these injuries on her arms?"
"This, this..." Dean Gao glanced at Lin Momo, unsure whether he should speak or not.
Hua Baixian hurriedly spoke up, "Don't hide it now, tell us quickly!"
Dean Gao began, "I just received a call from the boss. She said she was on the rooftop. When I went to check, I found her collapsed on the rooftop. There were also signs of a struggle downstairs. After reviewing the security footage, I discovered that someone was trying to ambush the madam, and the boss intervened to save her... In the end, it turned out that an assassin had been targeting the boss..."
After Dean Gao's explanation, Gu Liyan roughly understood what was going on. It must have been to protect Yan Xiyue that Lin Momo ran out and was then targeted.
"But what happened to her eyes? Did the assassin injure them?" Hua Baixian asked anxiously.
"This..." Dean Gao hesitated again, "...it's an old injury from many years ago..."
Hua Baixian pushed Gu Liyan to Lin Momo's side. Gu Liyan's pale and bloodless face looked just like someone who was seriously ill and difficult to cure.
"How is she now?" Gu Liyan asked with a gloomy expression.
"He lost too much blood when he went there, and his head was hit. His eyes were completely..." Dean Gao sighed as he said this.
"Did you get a blood transfusion?" Gu Liyan asked anxiously.
"Not yet..." Dean Gao's face was grim. "The boss's blood is very special. Only the madam in this world has the same blood type as him. I dare not give the boss any other blood."
Gu Liyan rolled up his sleeves and said, "Try it with my blood!"
Hua Baixian hurriedly stopped her, saying, "Xiao Li, you're anemic right now, you should use my blood!"
“I’m already injured, so don’t argue. If in the end none of the three of us are capable of fighting, wouldn’t we be at a loss for safety?” Gu Liyan said.
"But..." Hua Baixian was about to say something when Lin Momo twitched her hand slightly, snapping herself awake. She said with a look of disgust, "What are you two arguing about? It's giving me a headache..."
When Hua Baixian saw Lin Momo wake up, she rushed over and took her uninjured hand, asking, "Momo, how are you feeling?"
Lin Momo blinked, but there was no light, so she subconsciously asked, "Who turned off the light?"
Gu Liyan and the others remained silent. Lin Momo suddenly realized that she had lost her sight before she fainted, and awkwardly said, "Sorry, I forgot I couldn't see..."
Hua Baixian's eyes instantly reddened upon hearing this. She tightly grasped Lin Momo's hand, silently choking back tears. Gu Liyan's injuries were still not fully healed, and she hadn't expected that Lin Momo was also seriously injured, and even blind...
Feeling Hua Baixian gripping her hand tightly, Lin Momo smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. As long as I'm alive, losing my eyes is nothing."
Hua Baixian wanted to say something, but she didn't say it.
Gu Liyan looked at Dean Gao and asked, "Dean Gao, is there any possibility that her eyes can be fully healed?"
"There's a wound near the optic nerve caused by a stray bullet. If we were to have surgery, the success rate would be too low..." Dean Gao said with a wry smile.
Gu Liyan looked at Lin Momo with a gloomy expression, feeling heartbroken. He knew all too well what it felt like to be surrounded by darkness, and could only imagine how much pain and torment Lin Momo was going through.
Upon hearing Dean Gao's words, Lin Momo smiled calmly and said, "Don't worry, I've already made a set of visual nerve guide canes. Having guide canes won't have a big impact on whether I can see or not."
Gu Liyan knew that Lin Momo was just comforting everyone. No matter how useful a guide cane is, it's no match for one's own eyes. It was just self-deception!
"Mo Mo, do you know whose people hurt you?" Gu Liyan asked.
Lin Momo shook her head slightly. "I don't know. That person escaped while I was unconscious." The clues went cold, and Lin Momo had no way to look for them.
"Should we tell Yan Xiyue about your eyes?" Hua Baixian asked Lin Momo.
"Please don't!" Lin Momo's excitement aggravated the wound on her arm, causing her to break out in a cold sweat and tremble all over in pain.
"Don't move!" Gu Liyan said urgently, "Be careful of your wound."
