Xu Xiyan was a few meters away from success, but she did not notice an infrared light was on her.
Huo Yunshen saw it. The moment the red dot focused on her, he felt a wrenching pain in his heart.
Danger!
Being struck by fear, Huo Yunshen could only think of saving her. Gathering a force within him, his legs and his arms worked together and he leapt towards her.
“Jing Xi! Be careful!”
Before Xu Xiyan could react, Huo Yunshen had her down.
Xu Xiyan, the soldier, and Huo Yunshen all fell to the ground.
“Bang! Bang!” two gunshots were heard. Xu Xiyan turned around and happened to see the bullets hit Huo Yunshen. One hit him on his left calf while the other hit his back.
Xu Xiyan felt her heart skip a beat, and she yelled, “Mr. Huo!”
Xu Xiyan did not know if they could wait till Ye Xun notified her uncle to come rescue her. By the looks of it, they could not wait.
The situation was especially terrible. The soldier was dying, Huo Yunshen was deeply injured and had lost consciousness.
Xu Xiyan cried even more furiously, and her heart sank. She patted his face and said, “Mr. Huo, you can’t sleep! Wake up, wake up...”
No signs of waking, no one answered her.
“Mr. Huo...”
Xu Xiyan sobbed uncontrollably. She could not imagine what would happen if Huo Yunshen died here today.
She had not confessed her love to him, he did not know that she loved him.
Besides sobbing and awaiting death, Xu Xiyan did not know what else she could do. She held his face and her tears dripped on him.
“Huo Yunshen, don’t die... I like you, you know that? Ying Bao is our daughter, I have not told you that...”
With no idea how much time had passed, her hands had gone numb.
The exchange of gunfire had quietened down, and the sound of army boots neared.
Xu Xiyan closed her eyes, she knew death had arrived. There was no escape from death today. All she could do was hold on tight to Huo Yunshen and interlock their fingers.
