Chapter 725: Saving An Sister's Life

The masked people who were smashing the door…… heard the siren, and their movements froze instantly.

The ferocity on the masked people's faces…… was instantly replaced by panic.

They are all members of the New Faction Group, most of them have criminal records.

Once their identities are exposed and they are caught by the police, the consequences are unimaginable.

The leader of the masked people made a quick decision and shouted fiercely:

"Withdraw! Withdraw quickly! Don't get caught by the police!"

Before his words even finished, all the masked people…… threw down their knives and guns.

This group of masked people, like stray dogs, fled madly…… deep into New Union Square……

They dared not linger even a bit……

In an instant, the masked people who had been surrounding the convenience store…… vanished without a trace.

Only a mess of debris, bloodstains, and discarded weapons remained on the ground.

An Yunxi heard the siren and saw the masked people completely withdraw, but the panic in her heart did not lessen at all……

She knew well that this matter involved many parties……

If they too were caught and questioned by the police, trouble would surely befall them……

Even the situation of the Goddess Bar could be exposed.

An Yunxi endured the pain in her body and quickly said softly to Lin Yuan and her four subordinates:

"Withdraw quickly! The police are still nearby; don't run into them, or we'll invite trouble!"

After speaking, An Yunxi leaned on the wall beside her and stood up first……

She endured the pain, leading Lin Yuan and her four injured subordinates, using the cover of street-side shops, and hurriedly withdrew toward the parking area outside New Union Square.

All the way, An Yunxi kept holding on.

But no one noticed that her inner thigh had already been pierced by glass shards flying from the explosion.

Warm blood…… kept seeping out…… from An Yunxi's fair thigh wound……

The blood stained her body-hugging skirt…… with a large patch of glaring red.

The bloodstain continued to drip slowly from the skirt's hem, leaving sporadic blood marks on the ground.

Lin Yuan followed behind her, and his gaze unintentionally swept over her skirt hem……

That glaring red…… instantly entered his field of vision.

Immediately afterward, Lin Yuan caught sight of blood…… slowly seeping out from An Yunxi's inner thigh……

Lin Yuan's face changed instantly; he quickened his steps and grabbed her arm.

Lin Yuan said solemnly: "You're injured!"

An Yunxi's body stiffened, and she instinctively pressed her legs together, trying to cover the wound……

A strained smile…… appeared on her face.

An Yunxi lightly shook her head, feigning lightness in her tone:

"It's fine, just a minor injury, no problem; let's withdraw quickly before the police find us."

As An Yunxi spoke, she tried to break free from Lin Yuan's hand and continue walking……

But the intense pain in her thigh surged like a tide.

The pain made An Yunxi involuntarily furrow her brows.

Yet she gritted her teeth and persevered.

An Yunxi bent over…… picked up her high heels from the ground and put them back on.

She took a deep breath, stepped in her high heels, and walked step by step…… with difficulty toward the car not far away.

With each step An Yunxi took, the wound on her inner thigh…… would be tugged, causing unbearable pain.

The blood from the wound…… also flowed even faster,.

The bloodstain on her body-hugging skirt…… grew larger and larger.

But An Yunxi dared not stop; she could only grit her teeth and move forward.

But after she had taken just three or four steps, her leg strength was completely exhausted…… the intense pain from the wound made her vision go dark……

Her body went limp, and she collapsed straight to the ground, unable to support herself any longer.

Lin Yuan's heart tightened; he almost instantly rushed over and grabbed An Yunxi to lift her up.

Lin Yuan's gaze swept over the blood continually seeping from between her legs, and his face grew even more solemn.

Lin Yuan quickly turned his head and said in a low voice to the four subordinates behind him:

"All of you turn around, no looking back!"

The four subordinates dared not hesitate in the slightest; they immediately turned their backs, stood straight in place, blocking the view.

Lin Yuan carefully and gently lifted An Yunxi horizontally, his movements gentle, fearing to aggravate her wound.

Lin Yuan freed one hand and gently tried to lift An Yunxi's blood-stained body-hugging skirt to examine the wound's specifics.

An Yunxi's whole body tensed, and her cheeks instantly flushed……%

She instinctively reached out…… and grabbed Lin Yuan's wrist.

An Yunxi's eyes were full of shyness and resistance as she whispered:

"Don't…… don't do this."

Lin Yuan stopped his action, his tone full of seriousness.

Lin Yuan stared into An Yunxi's eyes…… and said solemnly:

"An Sister, your injury is very serious; if we delay any longer, there will be danger. Let me examine the wound; it must be treated promptly."

His tone was firm, with no room for negotiation, and the concern in his eyes overflowed.

An Yunxi watched Lin Yuan's solemn expression, and also felt a severe pain coming from between her legs...

An Yunxi knew…… she really couldn't push herself any further,

Her inner shyness…… was gradually replaced by worry.,

An Yunxi slowly loosened the hand that had been gripping Lin Yuan's wrist.

An Yunxi lightly nodded, her voice weak:

"Okay…… you, be gentle."

Lin Yuan nodded lightly, his movements becoming ever gentler.

He carefully lifted a corner of An Yunxi's body-hugging skirt……

Lin Yuan's gaze…… fell on the base of her thigh, his face instantly darkened.

Only to see that the base of her thigh, clad in silk stockings, was deeply pierced by a sharp glass shard.

The flesh around the wound was mangled, the tip of the glass shard still embedded in the flesh, blood gushed out from the wound, staining the surrounding skin……

An Yunxi's injury…… was even more severe than Lin Yuan had imagined.

"We must stop the bleeding and treat the wound immediately; we can't delay any longer."

Lin Yuan murmured softly, his tone full of solemnity.

He turned his head again…… and ordered the four subordinates behind him:

"You withdraw first, hurry back to the Goddess Bar, properly treat your own wounds, closely monitor the bar's situation, and send me a message immediately if anything happens; I'll be fine here."

The four subordinates responded in unison, then glanced worriedly at An Yunxi……

Seeing Lin Yuan's resolute expression, the four said no more.

The four supported each other, hurriedly withdrew into the distance, and soon vanished into the night.

Lin Yuan delayed no further, he embraced An Yunxi…… and hurried toward the nearby car.

Lin Yuan carefully placed An Yunxi in the passenger seat.

Lin Yuan gently adjusted the seat, letting An Yunxi be a bit more comfortable.

Afterward…… Lin Yuan quickly went to the driver's side and pulled off his black suit jacket.

He then tore open the white shirt underneath, ripped the shirt into wide strips, and hurried back to the passenger side.

Lin Yuan gently lifted An Yunxi's leg, moving delicately to avoid the wound.

He wrapped the torn strips…… tightly around the base of An Yunxi's thigh, covering the wound.

Lin Yuan pulled the strips tight to achieve a temporary hemostatic effect.

During the process, An Yunxi's delicate body trembled from pain, and fragrant sweat seeped from her forehead.

An Yunxi, however, clenched her teeth tightly and did not utter a single groan.

She simply gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, her eyes full of endurance.

Lin Yuan watched the bloodstain gradually seeping through the bandage, his brows furrowing tighter.

He quickly closed the car door, went around to the driver's seat, and sat down.

Lin Yuan leaned sideways…… and looked at the weak An Yunxi in the passenger seat.

Lin Yuan's tone was concerned:

"An Sis, I'll take you home first; your injury is too serious, conditions here are limited, only by going home can I properly stop the bleeding and treat your wound. Where do you live?"

An Yunxi leaned against the seat, her complexion ashen, devoid of any color.

Excessive blood loss…… left her completely weak, even her speech trembled noticeably.

An Yunxi's voice was so faint it was barely audible: "My home…… you haven't been there before?"

That sentence left Lin Yuan stunned in an instant.

A faint, blurry memory flashed through Lin Yuan's mind……

Back when he had not yet formally become close with An Yunxi, he had once temporarily served as her designated driver, driving her drunk self back to her mansion……

But a long time had passed since then, and Lin Yuan momentarily forgot about it.

Lin Yuan came to his senses, a hint of apology appearing on his face, his tone slightly embarrassed:

"Sorry, An Sis, I was too hasty just now and forgot."

An Yunxi lightly shook her head, bearing no blame at all.

She summoned all her strength and whispered the address: "Binjiang…… Rainbow Mansion, Building 12, Unit 1, 2001."

Having said that, she weakly closed her eyes, her brows tightly furrowed……

The severe pain in her thigh…… was like a bone‑eating maggot, and combined with excessive blood loss, she was about to run out of the strength even to open her eyes.

Lin Yuan noted the address, said nothing more, and immediately started the car,.

Lin Yuan carefully turned the steering wheel, driving toward Binjiang Rainbow Mansion.

Along the way, Lin Yuan drove especially slowly and smoothly, trying to avoid jolts.

He feared aggravating An Yunxi's wound.

An Yunxi in the passenger seat kept her eyes closed, her delicate face as pale as paper, her lips chapped.

The cold sweat on her forehead…… slid down her cheeks, and she clenched both hands tightly around the hem of her skirt.

Even as An Yunxi slipped into a semi‑conscious state, her brows remained unfurrowed……

The glass shard embedded in her thigh continually inflicted piercing pain; every slight jolt made her tremble all over with agony.

……

Several minutes later, the car steadily stopped at the entrance of the Binjiang Rainbow Mansion residential complex.

Lin Yuan quickly got out of the car and went to the passenger side.

He carefully lifted An Yunxi into a horizontal hold, his movements gentle.

He relied on his vague memory, quickly walked into the residential area, took the elevator and arrived at Room 2001, Unit 1, Building 12.

An Yunxi weakly raised her hand and pointed to her pocket; Lin Yuan took out her key and opened the door.

The interior was decorated exquisitely and warmly; Lin Yuan had no extra time to look around, and directly carried An Yunxi into the living room.

Lin Yuan gently placed An Yunxi on the soft sofa, trying to keep her body in a comfortable position to avoid aggravating the wound on her thigh.

Lin Yuan crouched down, his gaze falling on An Yunxi's thigh, which was still bleeding.

Lin Yuan furrowed his brows tightly and spoke in a solemn tone:

"An Sis, I need to check the wound again before I can fully treat it; please endure."

Having said that, he reached out his hand and gently lifted An Yunxi's blood-stained bodycon skirt, fully exposing the wound before his eyes.

This time, he saw it more clearly.

On the inner side of An Yunxi's thigh, not only were multiple glass shards embedded, but deep in the wound the femoral artery had actually been punctured……

Fresh blood was gushing out along the artery; even with cloth bandages wrapped around it, it continued to seep through.

An Yunxi's injury was even more critical than Lin Yuan had previously judged.

To completely stop the bleeding would be extremely difficult.

Lin Yuan delayed no longer; he immediately took out a small silver needle case from his cuff and quickly opened it.

Lin Yuan took out several slender silver needles, exerted slight force with his fingertips, and accurately inserted the silver needles into several acupoints around An Yunxi's thigh.

With this, he temporarily sealed the blood vessels to slow the bleeding.

After completing the temporary hemostatic measures, Lin Yuan picked up a sterilized silver needle, carefully approached the wound, and began gently extracting the glass shards embedded in the flesh.

But the glass shards inside An Yunxi's wound…… were far more numerous than imagined.

Tiny fragments were densely embedded in the flesh, and several larger pieces were deeply lodged, precisely lodged beside the femoral artery.

If Lin Yuan exerted even a little force, it would cause the artery to rupture more severely, making blood gush out instantly.

What made Lin Yuan even more embarrassed was, the wound location was extreme.

An Yunxi kept her head lowered the whole time, not daring to look at Lin Yuan, even her breathing became cautious.

Lin Yuan remained fully focused on cleaning the wound, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

His fingertip movements were precise and gentle, bit by bit he picked out the glass shards and placed them into a tray beside him.

Time passed second by second……

Sweat trickled down Lin Yuan's forehead and dripped onto the floor……

After a full half hour.

Lin Yuan finally managed to completely clean out all the glass shards from An Yunxi's wound.

But before Lin Yuan could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that An Yunxi's punctured femoral artery was still continuously bleeding……

Even with the silver needle sealing the acupoint, the blood…… still could not be stopped from seeping out of the wound, staining the sofa red and also staining Lin Yuan's hands red.

The situation remained critical.

Lin Yuan watched the blood continually welling up, his face growing increasingly grave.

Silver needle sealing the acupoint…… could only temporarily slow the bleeding, and could not completely stop the arterial bleeding,

If the delay continued, An Yunxi would only go into shock from excessive blood loss, and even her life would be endangered.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Lin Yuan had no hesitation at all, and did not have the leisure to worry about gender differences or the embarrassment of the location……

Lin Yuan directly buried his head, diving into An Yunxi's skirt.

He made no extra movements, bending forward…………

Lin Yuan, as much as possible, used saliva to wrap around the wound surroundings, preventing the blood from continuing to gush out.

In the Traditional Chinese Medicine classic 《Shennong Bencao Jing》, it is recorded that human saliva contains special components that can have a temporary hemostatic and anti‑inflammatory effect.

At this moment the situation was urgent, Lin Yuan had no better method……

He could only use this method to help An Yunxi temporarily stop the bleeding. Together,

An Yunxi was feeling very complicated at this moment.

An Yunxi whispered softly:

"Lin Yuan…… you……"

Lin Yuan had no distraction at all, feeling that the wound was still seeping blood.

Lin Yuan, on one hand using saliva to temporarily suppress the bleeding, on the other hand relying on touch, carefully sucked out the residual tiny glass shard fragments left deep in her wound……

Just now, when he cleaned it, he was too hasty, and there were still some minute debris that the naked eye could hardly discern embedded in the flesh.

If not thoroughly cleaned, it would easily lead to infection later, and even affect wound healing.

Lin Yuan's movements…… were gentle and focused; each time he treated the wound, he tried as much as possible to avoid the arterial location.

He feared that pulling on the wound would worsen An Yunxi's pain, and also feared that his own actions would be too rough, touching a sensitive spot and making her even more embarrassed.

The tiny glass shards…… were sucked out bit by bit by him and spat into the tray beside him.

The blood at An Yunxi's wound also…… gradually slowed its outflow speed.

Even her voice…… carried a hint of choking.

Lin Yuan heard her words, and his movement paused slightly.

Lin Yuan slowly lifted his head, his face still bearing faint traces of blood.

Lin Yuan's gaze…… was exceptionally solemn and gentle.

He gently wiped the corner of his mouth, and in a low voice said to An Yunxi:

"It's fine; treating the wound is important, it's not dirty at all. Moreover, An Sis, you're not dirty at all, you're very clean."

Lin Yuan's tone was firm, without any pretense.

Seeing that there was no miscellaneous thought in his eyes……

This instantly dispelled the slight unease and shyness deep in An Yunxi's heart.

Having said that, Lin Yuan no longer delayed…

He lowered his head again, continuing to suck the wound with his mouth.

Lin Yuan staunched the bleeding while carefully cleaning up the remaining glass shards…

Throughout, Lin Yuan's movements were gentle, focused and earnest as he treated the wound…

Only the sweat continually sliding down his forehead revealed his tension and urgency at this moment.
