The Rest of My Life

278

He's hurt!

I was injured to save me!

The bullet hit him on the shoulder and I saw his blood staining his clothes, but I couldn't do anything about it.

What made me even more confused was that the court's men were still attacking us.

The bullet flew over my head. I held onto Tao Zhizhou, feeling anxious.

Tao Zhizhou whispered, "Don't be afraid, keep running forward. Don't stop!"

But how could I abandon him and run away on my own?

Fortunately, at this moment, Shen Zixian led his subordinates and rushed over. They quickly subdued the people in the court and Tao Zhizhou and I were saved.

There was no longer any danger in the house for the time being. Shen Zixian ordered his men to continue their pursuit of the court and the evening.

I stayed and helped him onto the sofa.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly heard the sound of a car approaching from the courtyard. The sound of gunfire gradually grew softer, until it finally calmed down completely.

Shen Zixian's face was filled with dissatisfaction as he walked in, and said, "The court and the evening both ran away!"

I was startled.

If he couldn't catch him this time, with his power in the court, he would very likely run away again.

However, the most important issue now was Tao Zhizhou's injury. His shoulder was still bleeding, and if he didn't stop bleeding soon, there might be a problem.

Shen Zixian apparently also missed Tao Zhizhou, immediately called for a doctor to help Tao Zhizhou stop bleeding.

I hadn't expected a doctor to follow me, and at the same time I was greatly relieved.

Tao Zhizhou had been holding on. The doctor stopped his bleeding while he was on the phone. He immediately arranged for his subordinates to contact the relevant leaders to seal Flower City, preventing them from escaping from the Magnificent Court.

Seeing that, Shen Zixian kept his phone and said: "You already ate a spear, don't worry about these things, don't you still have me?"

Tao Zhizhou smiled, but didn't say anything more.

It was winter. Fortunately, the houses in the countryside had air-conditioning installed, so it wasn't too cold.

The doctor stopped Tao Zhizhou from bleeding, but did not bandage him. Instead, he said it would be best if he performed surgery as soon as possible to remove the bullet.

Unfortunately, this place was more than three hours away from the city, so sending Tao Zhizhou to the hospital was not a realistic idea.

Shen Zixian asked the doctor what he could do.

The doctors said they could have Tao Zhizhou operated right away if the team agreed.

Shen Zixian was silent for a few seconds, then said: "How confident are you?"

The leading doctor said, "Don't worry, the bullets aren't too deep. We've also brought medicine, so it won't be too dangerous."

Shen Zixian looked at Tao Zhizhou.

Tao Zhizhou nodded and said, "Then I'll be troubling you."

Afterwards, he was carried to a room on the second floor. There was a police officer outside, while Shen Zixian and the Shen family's bodyguards took care of the aftermath.

I sat in the lobby of the first floor and watched the bodyguards carry the men out. Some of them were in a coma while some of them were shot. Only then did I feel as if I had survived a disaster.

If Shen Zixian and Tao Zhizhou hadn't arrived in time, perhaps I would have been taken to Vancouver by the court.

Or maybe I was the one who needed surgery because Tao Zhizhou didn't save me, but because I was carrying a child, the risk was much greater.

I'm really glad I was saved in time.

After a moment, Shen Zixian seemed to have finished his work and walked in from the outside. He looked at me and said: "Are you scared?"

I shook my head.

Even though I was still scared, but since I was saved, I didn't think about the danger I faced before. Otherwise, I would only be even more afraid of myself.

I was more worried about Tao Zhizhou's injury, and whether the court and the night were captured.

Shen Zixian sat down across from me, looked at me, and said, "Are you thinking about Zhou Xun?"

I started.

Before Shen Zixian and company came, I was indeed thinking about Zhou Xun, wondering when he could come and save me.

But then Shen Zixian, Tao Zhizhou and the others came, and then a lot of things happened. I realized that in the entire process, I actually didn't think about Zhou Xun at all.

Sitting here just now, I didn't think of him. It wasn't because I was disappointed in him, but because I couldn't take care of the situation, so I had no time to think about him at all.

I thought about it and avoided the topic. "I'm worried about your injury, Tao."

Shen Zixian said: "Don't worry, I brought these medical personnel here from the Shen family, they are very reliable."

It turned out to be the Shen family's doctor?

I was curious why there would be a doctor following me, but I didn't expect that it was brought here by Shen Zixian.

Recalling how the doctor just said that the operation wasn't too dangerous, I couldn't help but feel reassured.

Pausing for a moment, I asked Shen Zixian, "What happened to the court and the evening, can we catch them?"

Shen Zisheng sighed lightly and said: "It's difficult."

I frowned slightly.

In the past, she would pretend to be weak, but now, she was acting without restraint.

This time, she caught me but didn't succeed. Next time, she will definitely think of a way to deal with me.

This was definitely a great hidden danger.

To be honest, I don't know why she hates me so much.

If her mother hadn't been a mistress, or if her father hadn't given her to Aunt Zhou to raise, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

Taking a step back, as long as she has a pure heart, even if she discovers that she is the daughter of Xiao San, I believe that the Zhou family will not make things difficult for her.

In the end, it was still her own reason.

What's more, it wasn't me that was doing this to her, and it wasn't me that was destroying her life. Yet, she still chose to focus all her hatred on me.

Maybe it's because she doesn't have the ability to deal with Zhou Xun and the rest of the Zhou family, so she can only vent her anger on me.

But now that she's become a dangerous person and has joined the mercenary ranks, I'm really afraid that she will come and capture me again.

Shen Zisheng looked at me and said: "I heard that Xiang Wan was locked up by Zhou Tong, why would he suddenly run out?"

That's what I'm curious about.

Last time Zhou Xun brought me to the Violet Garden to see Wan Xiang, he told me that he knew that the court planned to save Wan Xiang, and that he was already arranging everything to deal with the court.

Since he had already set it up, how could he let Xiang Wan escape?

Also, didn't he want to deal with this grand court? Why was he not aware of the fact that this grand court was coming to China?

I couldn't help but think that maybe he knew that Wan Xiang escaped and that the Magnificent Court would come to China because something happened to Ye Bei Bei. He didn't care about his original plan and gave the Magnificent Court an opportunity to take advantage of them?

Shen Zixian coldly snorted and said, "Zhou Xun is truly useless."

I smiled bitterly.

It's not that he's useless, but that he's amazing. With a flip of his hand, he can turn the tide. He's the heir that Grandpa Zhou thinks highly of.

Among the younger generation of the Zhou family, regardless of whether it was Tuesday's Uncle, Big Brother Zhou, or Second Brother Zhou, they were all outstanding talents. If they were to take them out alone, they would be much stronger than most of the aristocratic children.

However, Grandpa Zhou valued Zhou Xun, which was a testament to his ability.

The mistake this time... Perhaps it was because of Ye Beibei...

My mood darkened.

Shen Zixian's face was cold as he said, "Zhou Xun has not had any movements since he returned to the capital this morning. I have not received any news of his arrival, so I don't know what he is doing."

I was stunned.

Didn't Zhou Xun come to visit?

Had Ye Beibei's situation worsened and he turned around to go to Switzerland?

While he was lost in his thoughts, the sound of a whistle rang out in the yard.

Shen Zixian stood up warily, and I felt a surge of tension in my heart. I was afraid that it was the court and the night running back to ambush me.

The bodyguard came in and reported that he had stopped coming on Wednesday.

I couldn't help but be stunned.

The expression on Shen Zixian's face instantly turned fierce and he rushed out.

From his posture, it seemed as though he wanted to fight with Zhou Xun.

I didn't have time to think about why Zhou Xun would appear so suddenly, so I quickly chased after him, afraid that Shen Zixian and Zhou Xun would start fighting.
