Cheng Hu laughed maniacally; "If it weren't for this woman, would you have tried to kill me? Would you have betrayed the brothers in the underworld? And you still say it has nothing to do with her? Today, neither of you will leave here alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his hand and sprinkled a handful of white powder where the two of them were, then pounced on Huo Xiting again.
Su Yaoyao knew something was wrong. Before she could cover her mouth and nose, her body went limp and powerless.
"Yaoyao, run! Go out and call for help!"
Cheng Hu was already burly and strong, and Huo Xiting was under the influence of the drug, so he was definitely no match for him.
At this moment, the man had already been pinned down, the sharp tip of the knife pressed against his neck. Huo Xiting gripped the knife tip tightly with both hands, and drops of bright red blood fell one by one onto his pale cheek.
Su Yaoyao, supporting herself against the wall, staggered towards the door while shouting.
"Help! Someone, come quick!"
"Is anyone there?!"
Unfortunately, the VLP private room was soundproofed so well that no one could hear anything. Huo Xiting was about to reach the door and was running out of energy.
Cheng Hu sensed something was wrong, sheathed his knife, and glared fiercely at Su Yaoyao; "You bitch, you still want to call for help? I'll skin you alive in front of Huo Xiting first!"
With that, he took the knife and strode towards Su Yaoyao.
Filled with fear, Su Yaoyao walked towards the door with even more effort. As Cheng Hu was less than two meters away from her, a sense of despair rose in her heart. Was she going to die at the hands of this man today?
"Cheng Hu, come at me if you have a problem!"
Cheng Hu suddenly stopped and slowly lowered his head.
The dignified CEO was now lying on the ground, hugging his leg.
Su Yaoyao's eyes stung from the sight, and tears welled up instantly.
"Huo Xiting..."
"Damn it, you're insane! Let go!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Xiting hugged his legs even tighter!
"Yaoyao, don't just stand there, let's go!"
Su Yaoyao breathed heavily, suppressing the fear and panic in her heart, and dragged her limbs, which were gradually becoming numb due to the medication, toward the door!
Seeing that Su Yaoyao was about to go outside to call for help, Cheng Hu panicked, raised the knife in his hand, and stabbed Huo Xiting on the ground!
"Hiss..."
The knife tip pierced through the expensive suit and embedded itself in the flesh, the excruciating pain turning the man's face instantly pale.
"Huo Xiting..."
Hearing the man's suppressed voice of pain, Su Yaoyao subconsciously wanted to turn around, but Huo Xiting shouted at her in a weak and hoarse voice.
"Yaoyao, don't look back, leave quickly... Yaoyao, don't look back..."
His voice was almost pleading. Su Yaoyao had never traveled such a long distance before, and it seemed that no matter how she walked, she would never reach the end...
"Help! Someone, help! Murder!"
She finally found the doorknob, and the moment she opened the door, she screamed at the top of her lungs.
There were security guards downstairs, and when they heard the commotion, some of them ran upstairs.
Cheng Hu, standing behind him, changed his expression drastically, kicked aside the dying Huo Xiting, and jumped out of the window.
The bright red liquid stained the ground, forming a magnificent flower. The entire private room was filled with the smell of blood. Su Yaoyao practically crawled to Huo Xiting's side.
"Huo Xiting...how are you...how are you..."
Tears streaming down her face, she reached out to cover the bleeding hole in the man's body, but no matter how hard she tried, blood continued to seep through her fingers.
The two security guards who came upstairs were horrified when they saw the scene and immediately shouted.
"Quick! Call an ambulance!"
Su Yaoyao and Huo Xiting's phones had long been kicked away by Cheng Hu, and in the end, it was the people in the restaurant who called an ambulance and the police.
Su Yaoyao cried so hard that she trembled all over and could barely breathe.
The ambulance arrived, and Huo Xiting was lifted into it, while Su Yaoyao was also helped up by a nurse.
Inside the car, an experienced doctor immediately prepared bandages to stop the bleeding and started an IV drip for Huo Xiting…
Su Yaoyao was only under the influence of the drug, and at this moment she was leaning against the hospital bed next to Huo Xiting, staring blankly at him.
The doctor cut open the back of his shirt, revealing three bloody incisions...
She saw his blood gradually staining the pure white sheets.
"Huo Xiting..."
Huo Xiting, please don't let anything happen to you...
As if sensing the woman's grief-stricken and fearful gaze, Huo Xiting's eyelids trembled slightly, and his tightly closed eyes opened a crack.
He felt only cold, a bone-chilling cold, his body felt like it was about to freeze, and his vision blurred. He couldn't see anything clearly, only a cacophony of sounds around him, and a woman calling his name. He knew it was Su Yaoyao...
"I'm sorry... I originally... just wanted to get you something to eat... If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been so scared..."
"Yaoyao... I'll be alright... Don't worry about me..."
"While you're waiting for me... remember to... eat well..."
Su Yaoyao's vision blurred, tears fell onto the back of her hands, her whole body trembled, and a feeling of suffocation spread through her.
The last time she cried like this was when she lost her mother at a young age...
Huo Xiting was practically dying, yet he was still apologizing to her. He felt he had dragged her down with him, blaming himself for taking her to the restaurant, and worrying that Su Yaoyao wouldn't be able to eat because of his illness...
Overwhelmed by grief and fear, she fainted completely.
...
The Imperial Court.
"Mr. Yu, something has happened to your wife."
Jiang Chen rushed in, shouting anxiously at the person behind the desk.
Yu Chiyan stood up almost instantly. His powerful aura instantly froze, and a trace of worry appeared on his sharp, perfectly sculpted features.
