The waiter was clearly in cahoots with those people; he was well-trained in combat, and after several rounds, he wasn't even out of breath.
Having fallen behind, Wen Huaiyan was slashed several more times by his opponent's knife during the fight.
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the cut was not deep; it was just a minor scrape.
However, this only enraged the waiter further: "Die!"
He roared and drew another sharp blade from his waist.
Having been rebuffed by Wen Huaiyan earlier, he focused his attention on Li Ruo this time.
Having undergone professional training, the waiter unleashed his full power at this moment, every move carrying a murderous intent.
While dodging, Wen Huaiyan also had to protect Li Ruo. He quickly became overwhelmed and the opponent seized the opportunity to strike straight at his chest.
Just as the knife was about to pierce Wen Huaiyan's heart, at the critical moment, Qin Lie's men arrived in time and kicked the waiter to the ground.
The two groups immediately became entangled. Qin Lie's words were indeed true; the bodyguards he brought were all fierce and brave, and in no time, they subdued the group led by the waiter.
Seeing that they were no match for the others, the remaining few quickly took advantage of the chaos to escape, and the scene finally quieted down.
Li Ruo snapped out of her daze and quickly checked the injury on Wen Huaiyan's arm, asking with concern, "Are you alright? How are you feeling?"
Wen Huaiyan took a deep breath and shook his head: "It's nothing, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Lie walked over.
Seeing that both of them were injured, he felt very embarrassed and quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for dragging you into this."
Before the two could even speak, he waved to his subordinate and anxiously ordered, "Quickly, take them to the hospital!"
"No need..."
Wen Huaiyan parted his thin lips slightly, about to refuse, but several burly men in black did not give him a chance to speak, and had already bowed and made a gesture of invitation.
Qin Lie also said at the right time, "It's not safe here anymore. You helped me just now, so you're probably being watched now. You should come with me first."
Just now, I heard that Huaiyan suddenly took action, although it was only to protect Li Ruo.
But it has ruined these people's plans, and they won't let it go easily.
Reminded by this, Wen Huaiyan also realized what was going on.
A deep crease appeared between his brows as he silently glanced at Li Ruo.
Your injury needs treatment!
The girl seemed to sense the meaning in his gaze and whispered.
"good!"
After discussing it, the two followed Qin Lie to the hospital.
Fortunately, Wen Huaiyan's wound on his arm was not deep, but the doctor said they would need to stay in the hospital for observation for a while.
Upon learning of Li Ruo's accident, Sally immediately rushed over despite any attempts to stop her.
When she saw Li Ruo's haggard face and several knife wounds on her body, she was instantly furious: "Didn't you say you would protect Miss Li? Where did you go to protect her? You even personally escorted her back. I think it would have been better if you hadn't. If it weren't for you, they wouldn't have been injured. You are really useless!"
Her expression was indignant, and she immediately launched into a scathing accusation.
Wen Huaiyan, standing to the side, couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
Others might not know, but he knew Qin Lie better than anyone else; Qin Lie was known for his explosive temper.
When they were at odds with Darius, the other party only made one wrong statement, and Qin Lie led his men to take over his territory.
Now that he's being verbally abused like this, can he tolerate it?
But surprisingly, Qin Lie was actually quite patient.
Especially when he saw his sister's angry face, he hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Sister is right. It was indeed my fault. I failed to protect them. Please don't be angry with me."
As he spoke, he turned around and said apologetically to Li Ruo and Wen Huaiyan again, "I am truly sorry for what happened today."
Sally seemed somewhat dissatisfied, pouting and saying, "When you do something wrong, all you can do is apologize?"
Understanding his sister's meaning, Qin Lie's eyes flickered: "Don't worry, I was prepared!"
As he spoke, he immediately clapped his hands, giving a signal to his men outside.
Soon, several men carried in a large box.
"Need not!"
Thinking he was going to offer money as a thank you, Li Ruo instinctively waved her hand and refused.
However, Qin Lie insisted: "Don't worry, Miss Li, I know you don't like gold and silver. I have prepared something else."
Seeing his mysterious expression, Li Ruo raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.
Seeing this, Qin Lie opened the box.
Inside was a gleaming golden Buddha statue, its craftsmanship clearly indicating its immense value.
Before the two could speak, Qin Lie said in a serious tone, "Gentlemen, you saved my sister during the day, and now you've been implicated and injured because of me. I feel really bad about it. This Buddha statue is something I specially went to the temple to get. It's extremely efficacious, and I hope it can protect you."
Upon hearing this, Sally nodded in satisfaction.
Li Ruo was a little frightened and quickly waved her hand to refuse, saying, "Sir, you are too kind. What happened just now was an accident. We did not blame you. Please take this golden Buddha back with you."
