729 Under Attack

"AHH!!"

A painful groan was heard as the knife went right through the "doctor's" hand. He clutched his hand with the other and turned his head to look at Ying. Feeling that the situation was not on his side, he tried to escape. Ying's eyes darkened even more. Her intuition had never been wrong!

Before he could escape, Ying had already rushed up to him. She held the 'doctor' on his knees as she shouted at Han Bohai and Nora who had been frozen at the doorway. "Get the needle out of her! And call a doctor!"

It was Han Bohai who ran over and pulled the needle out of Xiu's hand. While Nora had run out to get a doctor. Even though her head couldn't process anything that just happened, she had a gut feeling that she was supposed to follow Ying's instructions and so she did.

Ying had the 'doctor' in a headlock as she strangled him saying, "Aren't you very daring coming here?" Before she could question anything, the supposed 'doctor' pulled a knife with his other hand and stabbed Ying's knee. Ying growled in pain and her grip momentarily loosened.

Taking advantage of that momentary opening, the 'doctor' pushed her away making her stagger, and opened the window before jumping down without any hesitation. 

"Ah-Ying!" Han Bohai ran up to her to support her but she stopped him.

"I'm fine!" She pulled out the knife and without wasting any time, she also followed suit and jumped down to give chase.

Han Bohai was left staring dumbfounded at the window. She had just jumped from the fourth floor to the ground without any problem. Oh, there was a problem actually! Her injured leg wobbled as soon as she landed and almost fell down but with her hands, she pushed herself up and started running after the 'doctor'. No matter what it took, she knew she couldn't let this person escape!

Han Bohai also ran out of the hospital room and took the elevator to follow her. 

But as soon as he left, a couple of people entered Xiu's room and locked the door from inside. "Plan A failed. Let's process according to Plan B. Get rid of them both." The leader said.

But just as one of them moved towards the peacefully sleeping Darren, another one moved towards Xiu's side. Just as the man's cold blade touched Darren's throat, his eyes opened and in a blink of an eye, he held his hand and twisted it before putting his blanket over that man while his other hand picked up his phone and threw it at the head of the one that was close to Xiu.

Since the phone was made of metals, it did quite some damage as the man's head burst open and blood oozed out. Seeing this situation, the leader also rushed out. Darren was obviously outnumbered in this situation. But he wouldn't let any of them hurt his wife.

Like a vicious animal, he tried desperately to fight these three people. But they had weapons, while he was barehanded. He still had to use whatever he could!

Because of his abrupt movements, his head injury started acting up. His vision blurred while he felt a rush of splitting headache. Even his feet were staggering but he didn't give up. He couldn't do it! This wasn't about him! This was about his family! His wife and his child! How could he just give up so easily? Even if it costs his life, he wasn't willing to let his steps falter!

He managed to knock down two of them and even got his arm injured in the process. When the leader saw that his men were down, he grew vicious and tried to throw himself on Darren with his knife. Darren's vision had already become obscure. He knew he couldn't avoid this one.

Right at this moment, the door was violently kicked open and a gunshot was heard. Soon, the leader of those attackers was lying on the ground with a bullet hole behind his head.

"Well, what do we have here?" came Su Feifei's voice. 

Even though Darren recognized her voice, he couldn't see her.

"Regan..." But when he heard the faint call of Xiu. His heart almost stopped beating. He staggered his way to her side even though he couldn't see anything clearly. He scooped her up in his arms.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a soft voice as if nothing happened here.

"I don't feel good," she replied. "Something is crawling in my veins. It's painful!"

"Get her to an operation theatre! Right now!" Su Feifei gave the instructions and the doctors that Nora had called tried to take Xiu from Darren but he refused. "Darren, you have to let her go if you want to save her!"

Only then did he let her go but pleaded, "Please, save her!"

"We'll try our best," came the reply and she was taken from his hands.

Su Feifei looked at the mess in the room, and her eyes turned red in fury. She controlled her emotions and said to Nora, "Get him to a doctor as well."

Nora was shaking all over but she nodded her head.

When only she was left in the room, she pointed at her people, "Check which one is alive. And whoever is alive, make him taste life worse than death! I need an answer for this incident!" She stared down at all the people around her and added, "From all of you! Or else, I'll have your heads on a platter!"

Ruffling her hair in exasperation, she hesitated but still ended up dialing the number she was dreading to. As soon as the call connected, she informed, "There has been an attack. You should come here."

"What did you say?" came Xin Zimen's strained voice.

Su Feifei bit her lip before repeating, "Xiu was just under attack."

Xin Zimen felt like his breath stopped and with much difficulty, he asked, "How is she now?"

"I don't know. She is in the operation theatre. I can't say anything for now."

Finally, the phone slid down from Xin Zimen's hand and fell down. He placed his hand over his chest as if something was clutching his heart and squeezing it painfully! It felt awful!
