As the opponent retreated step by step, and more and more people fell, Ke Gan finally lost his patience and waved his hand, "Deal with them quickly!"
With such a commotion, those who should know were already aware. He had no intention of dragging this out any longer.
"Bang!"
Just as everyone began to close in, a gunshot rang out from outside. Following this shot, more gunshots echoed from afar, growing closer…
Soon, a gap appeared at the rear, and more people joined the fray, led by two men of striking appearance and tall stature.
Normanis glanced at the newcomers, a hint of surprise on his face, which quickly gave way to a calm smile. They were certainly protective.
Ke Gan fiercely clenched his numbing hand, his eyes casting a venomous gaze over the scene.
He had thought Normanis was not this capable. Had he sought outside help?
He could fight back, but it would only result in a mutual destruction.
"Ke Gan, aren't you leaving yet?" Normanis's calm gaze fell upon his opponent.
Ke Gan sneered, "I'll let you go this time. Next time, you might not be so lucky!"
With that, Ke Gan led his men away. However, as he turned, the corner of his mouth curved into a sinister arc…
"Just let him go like that?"
One of the men, dressed in a bespoke black suit, walked over. His features were sharp, his face free of any excess fat, and he exuded an aura of calm nobility.
"Let him go. Fighting him would bring us no benefit. Why have you all come?"
At this, the man behind him stepped forward immediately, raising an eyebrow in amusement, "When brother-in-law is in trouble, we have to come and support him…"
Normanis smiled, then turned around, "Qian Ya is inside. I'll go get them out."
However, the moment she turned, Yao Qian Ya walked out quickly, "Aman, are you alright…"
Norman Ziyue followed closely behind her.
Jian You watched this reunion of family unfold before her, not wanting to intrude. Soon, however, she heard a faint 'click' sound beside her.
She looked around curiously. A bodyguard in black stood behind her, his eyes vacant. Because she was blocking his view, no one could see what he was doing.
But Jian You's pupils contracted sharply. He held a gun, and the gun was aimed at…
Yao Qian Ya, who had just emerged from the plane!
"Run!"
As Jian You cried out, her body reacted instantly, lunging forward…
At the same moment, everyone heard the sound and immediately became alert, also seeing the scene inside the plane.
"Bang!"
With that gunshot, the world fell silent…
Normanis watched as the bullet passed through Jian You's body and fell to the ground not far away. His heart was torn apart, his entire body trembling violently: "…Duoduo."
His voice was so hoarse he could barely make a sound.
The next moment, he sprinted towards her, disregarding any danger. The two men behind him immediately opened fire, killing the bodyguard inside, but they still disapproved of Normanis rushing forward like that.
Therefore, they exchanged a look and immediately followed. Yao Qian Ya's legs had gone weak, and she was about to collapse. A large hand steadied her.
She turned her head, her voice trembling, "Brother, go inside and check on Jian You! Hurry and check on her…" She felt an inexplicable sense of dread.
Seeing his sister so distraught, as if struck by a blow, and then looking at Normanis, who had completely lost his usual composure, he felt bewildered but dared not hesitate. This person must be quite important to them.
"Alright, I'll go first. Aze, you look after Qian."
The latter nodded with a serious expression, glancing at the woman Normanis held in his arms. Who was she, that she warranted such concern from them?
Yao Qian Ya recovered slightly and immediately had Yao Ze help her inside. Yao Ze could only follow.
He was quite perplexed. She was just a stranger; how come he had never heard them mention anyone like her?
Because Normanis was faster, he caught Jian You just before she slid to the ground. Seeing the blood gushing from her mouth, his fear and terror were boundless.
He fumbled to wipe the blood from her, trying to stop the bleeding with his other hand, completely flustered and at a loss. It was Yao Cheng behind him who quickly spoke, "Carry her away first, and tend to her bleeding on the way!"
"Right, right, find a doctor first… then stop the bleeding…"
Normanis no longer knew what he was saying. He looked up at Yao Cheng again, his voice laced with immense helplessness and pleading, "You… hurry and contact…"
Yao Cheng stared blankly at the tears in Normanis's eyes, his face filled with disbelief. Then he watched as Normanis’s arms fell uselessly after holding her a few times.
So… was she that important to him?
Yao Cheng immediately dared not delay any longer. He stepped forward, took the girl's frail body into his arms, and strode towards the nearby vehicles…
A stretched limousine sped towards the nearest hospital…
In the car, Yao Qian Ya mechanically turned her head to look at her husband, who was holding Jian You. Her voice was so low that even she could barely hear it, tinged with a fear she hadn’t noticed herself, "So… tell me… who is Jian You?"
Normanis had by then regained his senses. He looked at the girl in his arms with profound pain, his hands moving gently, "She… is… our… Duoduo…"
Upon hearing this, the car fell into silence, even the sound of breathing becoming faint.
Yao Qian Ya's eyes widened. She covered her mouth with her hand, staring at the blood-soaked Jian You, shaking her head repeatedly, "It's impossible! You're lying to me! She’s not Duoduo’s… You’re lying to me!"
By the end of it, she could no longer control her tears, crying out loudly, "...She's not Duoduo's..."
Yao Ze finally came to his senses. He immediately stabilized the steering wheel, looking regretfully at the girl in the rearview mirror. So, this was the child Ah Ya had lost, the child their mother always spoke of, their… maternal niece.
But to meet her in this way…
None of them could accept it.
Yao Ze's eyes reddened, but he gently pressed the accelerator, and the car immediately sped up…
Upon arrival at the hospital, Yao Cheng quickly got out of the car and opened the rear door. The next second, Normanis placed Jian You on a nearby stretcher.
A crowd of people stood in the corridor outside the operating room.
Norman Ziyue was still in shock, unable to snap out of it. She hadn't expected Jian You to be their sister whom the family had been searching for for so many years! But this explained why her father treated her so well.
How could she have been so foolish, even harboring doubts…
Norman Ziyue regretfully hit her own head. She hoped her sister would be alright. After seeing Jian You save her mother, she had no objections to her, and now she only wished she could pull through.
Otherwise, she didn't know how her parents would cope…
