Chapter 422: She Saved Him

Li Xiao's expression tightened in an instant, and his hand behind his back made a subtle gesture.

Cai Xiaotang's breathing was rapid; her wrists were gripped tightly, and her only hope was Li Xiao before her.

This guy wouldn't let her die...

He had said he would protect her!

The next second—

"Bang!"

A massive gunshot rang out.

A sudden ringing filled Cai Xiaotang's ears, and a splash of warmth splattered onto her cheek.

"Ah!!!"

The man's cry of pain rang out.

Almost in an instant, everyone rushed fiercely toward the direction of the car.

Two more gunshots rang out; another man in the car was quickly subdued, while the last one jumped out the window and ran away regardless of anything else.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Cai Xiaotang was pulled directly into a warm embrace.

"Don't be afraid, it's alright now." Li Xiao whispered to comfort the person in his arms, and as he spoke, he pulled her to the side.

Cai Xiaotang blinked, still immersed in the gunshot from just a moment ago.

Subconsciously, she wanted to turn her head to check on the condition of the man who had been holding her captive.

But as soon as she moved, someone forcefully pressed her head against a warm shoulder.

"Don't look."

Li Xiao's deep voice sounded again; he looked coldly at the man whose entire right hand had been shattered, then took a handkerchief from his pocket, carefully wiped the bloodstains off Cai Xiaotang's face, and untied the rope on her hands.

Cai Xiaotang stood there blankly, gasping for air continuously.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she finally regained some of her thoughts, looking at the person in front of her with a lingering fear.

"Scared silly?"

Li Xiao's tone was no longer the teasing one from before, but instead carried a hint of tenderness.

Cai Xiaotang nodded subconsciously, then immediately shook her head rapidly.

"I..."

The events of this evening were truly too bizarre, and she hadn't been able to accept them all at once.

Her mind was a blank slate, but she suddenly felt someone gently rubbing her head.

"Go back and rest first; I will increase the manpower during this period."

Li Xiao said in a low voice, and seeing her still somewhat lost in thought, he felt a bit helpless, his eyes mixed with a hint of heartache he hadn't even noticed himself.

Even he hadn't expected that the other party would use that method for today's events...

"Let me send you to the car first."

Seeing Cai Xiaotang standing there blankly without speaking, Li Xiao wanted to send her back to the car first.

Cai Xiaotang nodded.

Just as she turned around, her peripheral vision suddenly caught a flash of dark light in the grass in the distance!

She was stunned for a moment, and at a glance, she saw a pitch-black gun barrel aimed right at them!

"Bang!"

"Watch out!"

The gunshot and a cry of alarm rang out simultaneously.

Cai Xiaotang pushed the person beside her away almost without hesitation, and the next second—

A searing, intense pain suddenly shot through her arm!

"Ugh—!"

She lunged, and she and Li Xiao fell to the ground in a disheveled heap.

"Shura!"

A group of people around them swarmed up, while another group sprinted toward the direction of the gunshot.

Li Xiao had taken a hard fall, but he couldn't care about himself at all, immediately lowering his head to check on the person in his arms.

Then he saw Cai Xiaotang's eyes tightly shut, and her right sleeve was already dyed red by a large patch of blood!

"Xiao Tang!"

Li Xiao's breath hitched, and his heart seemed to skip a beat at that moment.

Cai Xiaotang kept her eyes tightly closed, cold sweat seeping from her forehead, and her lips were deathly pale.

Her only mobile left hand gripped Li Xiao's arm tightly, and she said in a trembling, low voice: "Li Xiao... my... my right hand... it hurts so much... is it... is it gone..."

Cai Xiaotang gritted her teeth to endure the pain, feeling only a burning sensation in her right arm; other than that, she had no feeling at all.

Hearing what she was asking, Li Xiao felt both heartbroken and amused; he hurriedly found a handkerchief to help her treat the wound and quickly replied: "How could your hand be gone? It's just a graze, the bullet didn't hit it..."

"Really..."

Cai Xiaotang said weakly, finally opening her eyes a crack to glance at her arm.

"It's... it's still there..."

Looking at the shocking, large patch of blood on her arm, her tone was actually somewhat relieved.

"You..."

Li Xiao paused upon hearing this, suddenly not knowing what to say.

This little injury was nothing to him...

But she...

Li Xiao felt a subtle shift in his mood, and then he saw the person in his arms suddenly tilt her head sharply and pass out completely.

"Xiao Tang?"

He tentatively called out to Cai Xiaotang, but she did not have any reaction.

Li Xiao was stunned for two seconds, and for the first time, an expression called "panic" appeared on his face.

"Where is the car! Have someone drive! Take her to the Hospital first!"

Twenty minutes later—

A black car screeched to a halt at the entrance of the Hospital.

Li Xiao carried Cai Xiaotang horizontally in his arms and rushed directly into the Hospital, had someone immediately arrange the best ward, and called for a Doctor.

The Doctor examined her carefully for a while and hurriedly replied: "Third Young Master, the injury on the Madam's arm is not too serious. The reason she passed out should be because she suffered some mental shock; she will wake up very soon..."

"Mm."

Li Xiao nodded and sat by the hospital bed with a dark face.

The Doctor quickly treated Cai Xiaotang's wound, gave some careful instructions, and then left.

The room quieted down—

Several subordinates were all guarding outside the door.

Li Xiao carefully and slowly adjusted the quilt for Cai Xiaotang, then turned and walked out.

"Asura, those few people are already being interrogated."

Seeing him come out, one of the subordinates hurriedly spoke up.

Li Xiao nodded: "Notify me the moment there is any situation; if there is nothing, do not let anyone come to disturb me."

He dropped this sentence and turned back into the room once more.

Unexpectedly, just as he pushed the door open, he saw that the person who had been in a coma was already awake, looking around curiously.

"Awake?"

Li Xiao walked over, somewhat surprised, and immediately felt two sharp gazes looking toward him!

"When did I come to the Hospital?"

Cai Xiaotang said, subconsciously moving her arm, only to find that she had no feeling in it at all.

Li Xiao was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to stop her: "Don't move around! Do you not want to recover?"

"I..."

Cai Xiaotang was stunned by his words and immediately said indignantly: "I was the one who wanted to ask you what happened to my arm! Why is there no feeling at all?"

Hearing this, Li Xiao replied with amusement: "Of course it's because the Doctor gave you anesthesia. The effect hasn't worn off yet, so you had better rest a while longer..."

"Oh... alright then..."

Cai Xiaotang replied casually, then sat blankly on the bed, thinking of everything that had happened before, still feeling as if it were a dream.

She looked down at her arm, then looked at the snow-white ceiling above her head, her expression becoming somewhat subtle for a moment.

Just now...

Was she really shot and injured?

Could it be that she was dreaming?
