Chapter 922: He Said It Was a Small Wound

"Li Xiao!!!"

Cai Xiaotang practically threw herself by Li Xiao's side, her eyes scanning him rapidly to see exactly where he was wounded.

Immediately, she saw that the back of his waist had been soaked through by a large patch of blood.

A steady stream of blood was continuously gushing from the wound, dripping onto the ground.

Thinking back to the moment the two of them rolled on the ground just now, and the gunshot that rang out behind them, Cai Xiaotang understood in an instant.

It was at that moment...

He had protected her...

Cai Xiaotang bit her lip hard, not wanting to cry out, her heart tightening in an instant.

Yet, Li Xiao still wore a look of utter nonchalance.

Hearing her, he actually took the opportunity to grab Cai Xiaotang's hand, the corners of his mouth pulling into a faint smile as he said softly, "It's nothing... a small wound..."

"Small wound my foot! Shut up!"

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but grit her teeth and snap at him, her heart hanging on the edge of a cliff, tears streaming down her face as she hurriedly shouted:

"Hospital! Hurry and take him to the hospital!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Lao San had already driven the car over.

Lao Wu also moved with lightning speed to provide emergency treatment for Li Xiao's wound.

Li Xiao's complexion was becoming increasingly pale.

Yet his eyes looked toward Mu Liusu at the side, and he said intermittently, "Chase him... don't... let him get away..."

Hearing that he was still worried about this at a time like this, Cai Xiaotang felt a lump in her throat.

Yet there was simply no way for her to say anything.

Immediately after, she saw out of the corner of her eye that Mu Liusu stood up with a straight face without a word, and left with her people without looking back.

"Alright! Get in the car first!"

Lao Wu's voice suddenly came, pulling Cai Xiaotang's attention back sharply.

Knowing she couldn't add to the chaos, she hurriedly moved aside to let them lift Li Xiao up.

Soon, the few of them had him sitting in the back seat.

With Lao San driving, Lao Wu and Cai Xiaotang sat on Li Xiao's left and right sides.

The black car disappeared into the factory like a bolt of lightning.

The cramped car cabin was quickly invaded by the smell of blood.

Li Xiao leaned half of his weight against Cai Xiaotang, frowning slightly; from beginning to end, he did not let out a single sound suggesting he couldn't bear the pain.

Cai Xiaotang gripped his hand tightly, her fingertips trembling incessantly.

Until her palm was lightly tapped.

"Don't cry..."

Li Xiao's somewhat helpless voice sounded in her ear.

Cai Xiaotang snapped back to reality, only then realizing that her tears had not stopped since just now.

She looked at the person beside her through tear-blurred eyes, feeling only heartache.

Then she saw Li Xiao blink, his eyelids seeming somewhat heavy, and her expression became even more panicked.

"Li Xiao, you... don't sleep! You can't sleep now!"

As she spoke, she gripped Li Xiao's hand even tighter, rambling incoherently, "You stay awake for me until we reach the hospital, do you hear me! Otherwise... otherwise I will never pay attention to you again! I will also... also..."

She, who was always sharp-tongued, suddenly didn't know what to say to "threaten" him most effectively, and her tears only flowed more fiercely.

Lao Wu at the side also hurriedly checked Li Xiao's injuries again, gritting his teeth as he urged, "Drive faster!"

Lao San said nothing, pushing the car's speed up another notch!

Everyone wished the car could fly right now!

After running who knows how many red lights along the way, finally, the hospital building slowly appeared before their eyes.

It seemed they had received word long ago; as soon as the car stopped, Cai Xiaotang saw that a Doctor and nurses were already waiting at the entrance.

"Li Xiao, we're here! You'll be fine in a moment..."

She hurriedly turned her head to speak to Li Xiao.

"Mm..."

Li Xiao responded in a low voice; throughout the journey, he had actually managed to stay conscious the whole time.

It was just that his condition was getting worse and worse.

"He must have surgery immediately!"

Several doctors placed him on a gurney and immediately turned to rush into the hospital.

Cai Xiaotang followed closely the entire way, clutching Li Xiao's hand tightly in her palm, feeling as though she had never experienced such speed in her life.

But she could still feel that his temperature seemed to be dropping bit by bit.

Perhaps because he knew they had reached the hospital, during the short distance from the hospital entrance to the operating room, Li Xiao fell into a coma.

"Li Xiao... don't sleep, wake up! We've already reached the hospital! Li Xiao?"

Cai Xiaotang called out to him again and again, but the person who had been able to talk to her in the car just moments ago now had no reaction at all.

Her tears had long since broken their banks, her face was streaked with crying, and she was in a state of complete disarray.

The next second—"Miss, we need to enter the operating room, please wait outside."

"

The Doctor suddenly pulled away her hand that was holding Li Xiao's, and the group rushed directly into the operating room.

The heavy door slowly closed before her eyes.

The red light on the door also flashed on!

Cai Xiaotang stood blankly on the spot, her palms feeling empty.

Her heart also felt as if it had been hollowed out in an instant.

She looked down at her blood-stained hands and the blood splattered on her clothes, her mind going somewhat blank.

Li Xiao...

He won't be in any trouble, right?

On the other side—almost everyone was pursuing Linke with all their might.

Seeing that she had already approached the vehicle in front, Mu Liusu immediately floored the accelerator, fiercely cutting the other car off and forcing it to a stop!

But she never expected that, upon pulling open the car door, the person sitting inside was not Linke at all!

It was his subordinate instead!

"Damn it... not him again..."

Laoqi, who was accompanying her, cursed in a low voice.

The two of them immediately exchanged a glance, and without another word, they turned back to their car to start contacting the others!

Yet the result they received was the same.

Linke had actually prepared several identical cars long ago, letting his own people drive them away separately!

If they wanted to catch him, they had to split up their manpower to confirm which car he was actually in!

"How many are left?"

Mu Liusu asked while rushing toward the next intersection.

"Two more..."

Laoqi had already quickly confirmed the situation, and as he spoke, he suddenly frowned.

"But... they are on Jiangwan Road and Huanshan Road."

Upon hearing this, Mu Liusu's expression tightened instantly.

These two roads were practically in opposite directions.

Because they had all been busy surrounding the nearby cars just now, they had given the other party time to get further away.

The destination of one road was the pier.

It was very likely that the other party already had people there with a boat to meet him, which would be the fastest way to shake them off.

The other road, although it took longer, led directly out of the city.

The areas surrounding the city were all undeveloped towns and villages.

There might be other people he had lying in ambush there, and the road conditions were complex; once he escaped out there, it would be even harder to catch him!

Mu Liusu slammed the car to a stop on the side of the road and closed her eyes.

She wanted to make the correct judgment in the shortest amount of time.

Linke was as cautious as they come; if it were him...

He would rather spend more time than choose to take a risk.

Now, she could only take a gamble!

Having made her decision, Mu Liusu turned the car around directly!

"Go to Huanshan Road."

Her voice had just fallen—when the communication device at her side suddenly began to beep!

Mu Liusu turned on the speakerphone directly.

Immediately after, she heard—"Shadow Fiend, the car on Jiangwan Road has been intercepted, it's not Linke!

And the ones who intercepted the car weren't our people, but several cars that suddenly rushed out!

"
