Chapter 194 Jiang 1, Die!
Jiang Yi was held tightly in Chi Ruiche's arms, who used his back to block the cascading crystal chandelier.
The scene quickly spiraled out of control, with screams and wails filling the entire hall.
"Are you okay?"
Jiang Yang and Wang Ruozhi were standing to the side, and Chi Ruiche and the others happened to be closest to them and were affected.
"It's nothing, I was just scared."
Wang Ruozhi clutched her chest, her heart pounding a little fast with fear.
Security personnel rushed into the living room, making the already small space extremely crowded.
An explosion rang out, and instantly, the entire hall was filled with thick smoke.
Jiang Yang shielded Wang Ruozhi as they retreated, his breath hot against her ear. "There's a gun."
The bullets whistled through the air, and the muzzles spewed deadly flames.
"Jiang Yi, go to hell."
A vicious voice mingled with the crowd as Xu Xinping precisely leaped through them and lunged at Jiang Yi.
As soon as Jiang looked up, Xu Xinping, as if possessed, charged at her with a knife in hand.
"Be careful."
Without hesitation, Chi Ruiche stepped in front of Jiang Yi and plunged the knife heavily into his abdomen.
With a burst of gunfire, Xu Xinping was hit in a vital spot and fell to the ground on the spot. Her hand gripping the knife handle loosened weakly, and she murmured something.
"Good riddance."
Another gunshot rang out, and blood splattered everywhere. Hot blood splashed onto Jiang Yi's face. Chi Ruiche knelt on the ground, but still held Jiang Yi tightly in his arms.
The pain in his body gnawed at his nerves, and large beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.
"Hold me tight." He struggled to suppress his discomfort, his voice hurried and short.
After several gunshots, the sound of hurried footsteps grew closer and closer, and Chi Ruiche glared at the front with alarm.
"Mr. Chi, Miss Jiang!"
Lin Kai and You Ming dealt with the gunmen in the shadows and quickly joined up with them. What they saw made them gasp in shock.
Chi Ruiche knelt on the ground, his white shirt stained crimson with blood. His hands, which were holding Jiang Yi, were covered in blood, staining Jiang Yi's back red. A knife was plunged into his abdomen, from which blood was flowing continuously.
"Quick, go to the hospital."
"Don't sleep, Che, don't sleep..."
Chi Ruiche leaned weakly against the seat, his pale face covered in sweat, and he was having difficulty breathing.
Jiang Yi's trembling hand clutched the gauze covering Chi Ruiche's abdomen; blood stained her shirt and seeped through her hand, soaking her white dress.
The scene from five years ago was replayed, the past and reality intertwined, causing her fear to reach zero, and tears flowed uncontrollably.
"Yi-yi, I'm fine."
Chi Ruiche's lips were pale, his eyes were filled with exhaustion and weariness, his body was severely damaged, he suppressed his groans and forced himself to comfort her.
Jiang Yi was afraid; she needed him.
"Don't be afraid."
Chi Ruiche breathed heavily, managing a weak smile.
"Sweetie, don't hide away by yourself, okay?"
Chi Ruiche gritted his teeth, trying to wipe away the tears on her face with his trembling hands. He wanted to tell her that everything was alright.
But waves of pain came, his consciousness gradually blurred, his hands fell limply to his sides, and his eyes slowly lost focus.
Time seemed to stand still. In his blurry vision, Chi Ruiche saw Jiang Yi hiding in the corner, silent, with empty eyes, devoid of any emotion.
"I can't go in there, I'm sorry."
Blood loss led to hypothermia, and Chi Ruiche's face grew paler and paler. His exhausted body felt like it was sinking into a swamp, unable to escape.
"Che, hang in there a little longer, we'll be at the hospital soon."
Jiang Yi roared, but held Chi Ruiche's hand tightly.
"Don't sleep, look at me again."
"We are all waiting for you."
He placed Chi Ruiche's hand on her lower abdomen.
Chi Ruiche did not respond to her again.
"Faster! Faster!"
Jiang Yi's sobbing voice became hoarse.
Youming floored the gas pedal, running countless traffic lights along the way. The paramedics were already on their way to the hospital entrance, and Chi Ruiche was immediately taken into the operating room for emergency treatment upon arrival.
Jiang Yi stared at the blood in his hand—Chi Ruiche's blood—and heard a hellish sound echoing in his ears.
"Blood—it's all blood!"
"It's all your fault, Jiang Yi!"
The voice deep inside her felt like insects gnawing at her body, the excruciating pain reaching deep into her bones, suffocating her.
Her body trembled even more violently, her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms, and she used the pain to force herself to calm down.
Unable to bear the pressure, Jiang Yi's tears slowly fell. She felt her throat was choked, her breathing became increasingly rapid and difficult, and she also felt an unusual tightness and pain in her chest.
Deep breathing seemed to have no effect, as the pain was unbearable and her body trembled uncontrollably.
Lu Haotian quickly ran to her side, put his arm around her trembling body, and comforted her.
"It's nothing, just a superficial injury."
He held her hand tightly, which was cold from nervousness, making her feel a sense of security.
