◇ 【049】 Life-saving Amulet【1st Update】
Li Ruicheng shook his head. "I don't want to die. Linzi is right. If Xia Zhili wanted to kill you, he should have chosen a time when you were alone. What kind of man would he be if he implicated innocent people?"
Zhang Muheng snorted and chuckled, reaching out to pinch him, "I won't wait for him to kill you, I'll kill you first!"
Li Ruicheng quickly begged for mercy, "Brother Mu Heng, I was wrong!"
Xi Lang's forehead twitched. "You two, what a time to still make trouble!"
Li Ruicheng said seriously: "Xi Lang, we trust you."
Xi Lang was speechless for a while.
Zhang Muheng let go of Li Ruicheng and said, "I've already called. There's no point in getting anxious now."
"I just don't believe that Xia Zhili really dares to kill us." Li Ruicheng said in a deep voice.
"He doesn't dare to kill us." Han Lin sneered, "But he dares to cripple us. Their Xia family... huh, isn't it just relying on..." He didn't finish his words, but Xi Lang and the others obviously knew what he wanted to say.
At this moment, the three cars behind finally closed in. Xia Zhili's car was still following Xi Lang's car, but the other two black cars sandwiched Xi Lang's car on the left and right.
Several cars were driving very fast, and the tires rubbing against the ground made sharp sounds from time to time, which made people's hearts beat fast.
Zhang Muheng, Han Lin, and Li Ruicheng, despite their composure, were a little nervous. Xi Lang's forehead was covered in sweat.
Now they could all see that the person in the driver's seat of the BMW was not Xia Zhili, but since the car belonged to Xia Zhili, these people were naturally sent by Xia Zhili. The Xia family was quite influential in the imperial capital, so who would dare to steal Xia Zhili's car and kill people?
"Bang!" The rear end of the car was bitten hard by the white BMW.
Xi Lang's car shook violently, and Xi Lang and the other three were all shocked.
Then, two black cars ran up to block their way, and the BMW unexpectedly slowed down.
Zhang Muheng, Han Lin and Li Ruicheng were all a little puzzled. Was he just trying to scare them?
Xi Lang's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! It's about to strike with all its might!"
Zhang Muheng was shocked and angry, "Xia Zhili! He actually dared!"
Han Lin and Li Ruicheng both held onto the safety handles tightly and said in unison, "Xi Lang, what should we do?"
At this moment, Xi Lang felt a burning sensation in his chest, and a warm current overflowed from the jade pendant on his chest, instantly filling his whole body. The mental and physical strength he had just consumed were replenished, and there seemed to be a power in his body so strong that no external force could hurt him, making him seem to teleport to a completely safe area in an instant.
My dear!
Xi Lang's heart moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Hold on to me, quickly! Quick!"
No sooner said than done, the car behind crashed into it with a loud "bang".
…
Meanwhile, Grand Hyatt Hotel.
Gu Juan swiped the touch screen with his right hand to browse the web pages, his eyes still fixed on the screen, and reached for the water cup placed beside him with his left hand.
With a "crack", the cup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces. The water quickly overflowed in all directions, outlining a hideous picture on the brown floor.
His heart skipped a beat.
Xi Lang!
…
Both cars lost control, ran off the road and crashed into the wall of a roadside shop.
Zhang Muheng, Han Lin, and Li Ruicheng held Xi Lang's arms tightly, watching the wall approaching, sweat dripping down their faces and their hearts in their throats.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the car hit the wall hard.
Zhang Muheng and the other two subconsciously closed their eyes, but did not feel any pain for a long time. They slowly opened their eyes and were shocked to find that none of them were injured at all.
"Haha, we, we are fine!" Li Ruicheng laughed.
Han Lin and Zhang Muheng leaned back in their chairs, laughing and breathing heavily.
After a while, the three of them calmed down and looked at Xi Lang in surprise. What on earth was going on?
Xi Lang's expression remained calm, with a gentle smile on his lips. His focused gaze fell on his hand, which held a green jade pendant.
Han Lin was very curious, "Xi Lang, what's going on?"
Xi Lang came back to his senses and said, "Let's go out first. I can hear the sound of oil leaking."
Han Lin and the other two didn't hear anything, but they didn't dare hesitate. The four of them quickly got out of the car and ran away.
“Help, help…”
A faint voice came from the wrecked car behind.
"Save your mother!" Zhang Muheng flew into a rage, unable to resist the curse words, gritting his teeth in hatred for Xia Zhili. This time, Xi Lang, Han Lin, and Li Ruicheng had all suffered misfortune because of him. Feeling guilty and fearful, he took out his anger on the executioner.
Xi Lang calmly pried open the deformed car door, wondering if his strength had increased. "We must save him. He's a witness."
Zhang Muheng also reacted, and together with Han Lin, he helped the man out of the car and ran away.
Just as they were about to run a short distance away, there was a deafening roar. The BMW exploded first, followed by Xi Lang's car. The flames illuminated the surroundings in a fiery red.
Zhang Muheng and others were knocked to the ground by the air current. They turned their heads to look at the mushroom cloud rising into the sky, still in shock. They slowly got up and did not speak for a long time.
Gu Juan jumped out of the taxi and saw the fire in the distance. His heart stopped beating. Impossible!
He rushed over and shouted, "Xi Lang——"
Xi Lang turned around and saw Gu Juan's dazed look. His heart skipped a beat and he ran towards him, shouting, "Xiao Juan, I'm here!"
When Gu Juan saw him, he stopped, rubbed his eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle. He seemed to have lost all his strength and couldn't lift his feet. He stared blankly at the man running closer.
"Xiaojuan." Xi Lang hugged Gu Juan.
"I feel like something happened to you. I can't get through to you on the phone..." Gu Juan raised his arms, hugged his waist, and whispered.
Xi Lang heard his heart pounding, and a surge of emotions burst out of his chest, unable to contain himself. He held his head with both hands and pecked his forehead forcefully. One arm held him tightly again, and the other hand kept stroking the back of his neck, rubbing his cheek against his, and kept saying soothingly, "Don't panic, don't panic, I'm fine..."
Gu Juan buried his head in his shoulder, a wave of fear welling up in his heart. He believed in the jade's power, but even his deepest faith couldn't outweigh the depth of his feelings for Xi Lang. Because he cared, he was afraid. Although he and Xi Lang had only known each other for a few months, Xi Lang had already become an indispensable part of his heart, and he absolutely couldn't lose him.
Zhang Muheng, Han Lin and Li Ruicheng looked at each other and made the same shrug gesture.
"Xiao Juan, you saved me." Xi Lang now understood that the jade pendant Gu Juan gave him was not just an expensive piece of jade, but a real treasure. "This jade pendant is too precious—"
Gu Juan stepped out of his embrace and interrupted him, "What I give to you is yours."
"But you don't have one yourself. Be obedient and wear it." Xi Lang disagreed and wanted to take off the jade pendant.
There was no way he could get it down, so Gu Juan didn't stop him and hugged him again, "I don't need the amulet. Xi Lang, there are many things I will tell you slowly later."
"Yeah." Xi Lang smiled slightly, stroking his back gently, and whispered, "Linzi and the other two were in the same car with me, so I had to save them. But don't worry, they only know that I have a problem, and they don't know it's because of the jade pendant."
Gu Juan thought for a moment and said, "I know they are all good friends and brothers you trust, but it's best not to tell them about the jade pendant. It's not an ordinary item, and the more people know about it, the more likely it will be leaked. I'm afraid that if the news gets out, it will attract the covetousness of those with ulterior motives."
Xi Lang nodded, "I think so too." His burning gaze fell on Gu Juan's forehead, recalling the hot body temperature he had felt before that did not belong to him.
Gu Juan thought of the light kiss, raised his hand and touched his forehead, and his steady heartbeat lost its rhythm.
"Help, save me..." The person lying on the ground had blood all over his head, and his voice became weaker and weaker.
Han Lin walked towards Gu Juan and Xi Lang, his eyes full of teasing, "Although I don't want to disturb you, but that person seems to be dying..."
Gu Juan walked up to the man and shot at him with a sharp gaze like a cold blade.
This was a young man in his thirties, with a military-style hairstyle, dark complexion, a resolute face, and a righteous look. But this man killed people without blinking an eye!
"Xi Lang, was he the one who attacked you?" Gu Juan's voice was low and cold.
Xi Lang walked over to him and nodded, "It's hard to put it into words."
Gu Juan looked at the man indifferently and said indifferently: "You are seriously injured. Even if you are sent to the hospital, it may be too late. You should be able to feel it."
The man looked ashen, nodded slightly, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth with difficulty.
"But I can save you." Gu Juan said coldly.
Zhang Muheng and others were very surprised. They knew that Gu Juan also studied Traditional Chinese Medicine, but how long had he studied it? How good could his medical skills be?
Seeing Xi Lang's calm face, they all remained silent.
A faint light ignited in the murderer's dim eyes. He slowly stretched out his hand to Gu Juan and begged, "Save me..."
Gu Juan said sarcastically, "Why should I save my enemy?"
Xi Lang put his arm around his shoulders.
The man said with difficulty: "I, I was forced... Xia Zhili... captured my sister... I..."
Gu Juan squatted down and stuffed a pill into his mouth.
A surge of heat quickly surged from the man's body, spreading throughout his limbs and bones. He regained some strength. He glanced at Gu Juan deeply, then finally relaxed the energy he had been holding onto, passing out.
