Chapter 419: Chapter 419: Why Is There a Smell of Blood?

On the other side, Rong Yan, even with her usual insensitivity, smelled the scent of blood. Initially motionless, upon detecting the rusty odor, she abruptly started struggling again.

“Why is there a smell of blood?”

“There’s none, you must be mistaken!” Li Shengxiao calmly embraced her, maintaining a steadied composure as he spoke indifferently.

Rong Yan sniffed carefully again and still felt something was off, “No way, it’s definitely the smell of blood. How could you be bleeding? Are you injured?”

Her struggles intensified.

“Li Shengxiao, let go of me. Let me have a look!”

Her mind was a mess, her thoughts were blank, she just wanted to see what was actually happening with him.

Was he truly hurt?

“Li Shengxiao…” Rong Yan was still struggling, but the man firmly trapping her just wouldn’t release his hold.

It wasn’t until Gu Ming rushed over and respectfully said, “Mr. Li, those people have been controlled by security, waiting for the police to arrive.”

“Mhm.”

“Perhaps you should let go of Miss Rong first…” He wanted to say that your head wound might need an ambulance, but he dared not finish his thought out loud.

Miss Rong was still there; he couldn’t just blurt it out.

“The station managers are also on their way here.”

“Li Shengxiao, let go of me first.” Rong Yan struggled to push away from his chest.

This time, the esteemed man loosened his grip, momentarily releasing her.

As soon as he let go, Rong Yan quickly regained her freedom and looked up in his direction, her heartbeat suddenly erratic.

“What happened to your head, why is there so much blood?”

Gu Ming also saw the congealed blood on the man’s distinct and handsome face and lowered his head to answer on someone’s behalf, “Just now, someone threw an egg at Miss Rong from below the stage. Mr. Li saw it and shielded you in his arms. Little did we know, those people didn’t just throw eggs. Someone threw a stone in the midst of it all. Mr. Li got hit in the back of his head while protecting you, that’s why there’s so much blood.”

Mr. Li got hit in the back of his head with a stone while protecting you, that’s why there’s so much blood… Rong Yan’s heart clenched tightly, she stared pale-faced at the man who acted as if nothing had happened, her nose turning sour.

“Li Shengxiao, are you an idiot?”

He could have told her.

If only he had said something, she… Rong Yan didn’t know what she could do, but she would have preferred it if she were the one who had gotten her head injured than to feel this unbearable pain in her heart.

At that moment, Li Shengxiao grabbed her left hand, his thumb pressed her palm, silently transferring strength to her, “I’m fine.”

Rong Yan opened her mouth to say that his head was injured, and he had lost so much blood, how could he be fine, but the words that came out were, “Right, 120. I’ll call 120 right now.”

Where was her phone, where was it?

Seeing her anxious to run backstage to find her phone, Gu Ming quickly called out, “Miss Rong, I’ve already contacted the hospital. They’ll send an ambulance right away.”

Rong Yan’s body stiffened, motionless.

If 120 had already been called, what could she do now…

Her heart ached terribly, and she wished she could do something for the man, just to ease her own heart a little.

Perhaps sensing her rising hysteria, even her eyes reddening, the distinguished man holding her hand suddenly said, “Yanyan, before the hospital’s people arrive, would you help me with a temporary treatment of the wound?”

Rong Yan didn’t hesitate to agree, “Okay!”

As long as she could be of any help, even if just a little.
