Chapter 1109: She Didn’t Want to Leave Him
Xiao Yi patted Xia Yanran’s arms, using his eyes to tell her to calm down. Noting the comfort in his eyes, Xia Yanran’s tense heart calmed down a little.
She knew that there was only one consequence if both of them remained in the car, and that was death.
She grabbed his hand, gripping his fingers tightly. “Xiao Yi, you’re not allowed to let anything happen to you.”
He smiled. “I’m still waiting to have kids with you!”
Those armed men were approaching them slowly and Xiao Yi stopped talking to Xia Yanran as he opened the door and got off the car with the agility of a panther.
Weaponry in Bardahl were not controlled by the state, so for safety sake, Xiao Yi kept himself armed as well.
Through the window, Xia Yanran glanced outside. The car was already covered in smoke. Xiao Yi didn’t kill them immediately, shooting arrows at those men’s wrists and legs instead.
Probably having not expected for Xiao Yi’s shooting skills to be so good, several thieves were taken down.
However, what followed where even more thieves.
Xia Yanran’s heart rose to the top of her throat.
Seeing that there were more and more thieves by the second, Xiao Yi wanted to draw them away originally. However, at the looks of it now, there would still be thieves who would rush towards the SUV even if he did.
Only his experience allowed him to make an immediate decision. If he wanted to take them down, he had to take down their leader first!
Xiao Yi looked around him and saw one of the thieves being shielded by the others. Xiao Yi picked up some arrows from the floor, running towards that leader quickly as he took down the people that were attacking him.
His speed was extremely fast, like a panther that was running through the rain of arrows.
Before he could reach the leader, the thieves that were protecting him all started to attack him. Xiao Yi lifted his leg and spun around, as he held the leader into a headlock before anyone realized.
What happened just now could only be seen by the people closest to him. He was as quick as lightning, his decision made quick with murderous intent.
By the time the leader understood what was going on, it was already too late. His neck was held tightly by Xiao Yi, with a cold dagger pressed against his temple.
Xiao Yi stared at him with temperature-less eyes. “Order your men to put down their weapons.”
The leader raised his hand and whistled.
All of the other thieves turned around, and the leader ordered everyone to put their weapons down.
Xiao Yi continued to grab the leader’s neck as he walked towards the SUV.
Xia Yanran was leaning against the window when she saw Xiao Yi taking hostage of the leader, her heart nervous and excited.
When Xiao Yi walked over with the leader in his hold, Xia Yanran suddenly saw a thief hidden in the woods aiming towards Xiao Yi and the leader accurately.
The bushes were extremely tall and blocked that person. Xia Yanran’s heart was immediately pull to the top of her throat. Before that person could fire out, Xia Yanran got down and found a stone, before she threw it towards the back of that person’s head with all of her strength.
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Yi glanced towards her.
It was Xia Yanran’s first time hitting someone. Her face was still slightly pale, swallowing dryly when her eyes met Xiao Yi’s and she hurriedly turned around and walked towards the car.
However, she had only taken a few steps when a hand grabbed her ankle.
Xia Yanran was so scared her lashes fluttered crazily.
“Sister... Save me...”
Xia Yanran turned around and saw an injured girl whose face was covered in blood. All she saw were the girl’s bright eyes, her shirt torn terribly.
Xia Yanran hurriedly crouched and helped the girl up.
Xia Yanran helped the girl into the SUV. A few minutes later, Xiao Yi arrived at the car with the leader still in his arms. Seeing the unknown girl sitting behind, he glanced at Xia Yanran. “You drive.”
Seeing blood covering Xiao Yi’s hand and the injured girl, Xia Yanran furrowed her eyebrows and said, “I’m not going to the airport anymore. Let’s go to the hospital first!”
...
After they drove away from the group of thieves, Xiao Yi handed that leader to the related authorities. Then, Xia Yanran drove all the way to a hospital in Peace City.
On the way there, the girl fainted from having lost too much blood.
Once they arrived at the hospital, the medical staff hurriedly pushed the girl into the surgery room. Xiao Yi’s left arm had been grazed by a bullet, so after bandaging it, he rested in a ward.
Xia Yanran sat next to him, her heart still thumping when she recalled what happened.
Xiao Yi patted her head. “Since the leader of the thieves has been caught, they’ll probably find their headquarters soon. That means it won’t be so dangerous in the future. However, you should still go back as soon as possible. I’ll talk to the related authorities later and get them to send someone over to bring you to the airport.”
Xia Yanran grabbed Xiao Yi’s well-defined hand, her voice slightly choked. “Why are you always chasing me away? I still have five more days of leave, I don’t want to leave so quickly.”
Xiao Yi stared at her red eyes. “There’s nothing nice to eat here, nothing fun to play and it’s not too safe either...”
Before he could finish speaking, she interrupted him hurriedly. “But you’re here!”
Hearing her words, an urge to tear up swarmed him. His chest felt like continuous electricity had been pumped into him. He pulled her into his arms as he kissed her forehead. “My foolish girl.”
...
After they rested for a while, Xia Yanran went down to buy some water and food.
“Don’t go too far and stay safe.”
“Okay.”
Not too long after Xia Yanran left the room, there was a knock on her door.
Xiao Yi looked up to see a girl holding onto a clutch standing by the door. There were still small wounds on the girl’s face, but it was clear her wounds had been cleaned. Her skin was so fair it shined, her eyes bright and sparkling. She looked a little like Xia Yanran when she was eighteen or nineteen years old.
Xiao Yi stared at the girl as he dazed out a little. It felt like time had returned to when he saw Xia Yanran for the first time. In a blink of an eye, it had been ten years. His girl had given the best times of her life to him.
Breaking out of his daze, Xiao Yi stared at the girl by the door, his expression cold and stiff. “You are?”
The girl limped into the room. “Sir, I came to find that sister that saved me.”
Ah, so it was that girl that Yanran saved from the grass earlier.
“She went out to buy some things, you can wait for her outside!”
The girl froze for a second, clearly not expecting for Xiao Yi to be so cold and ungentlemanly.
Xiao Yi closed his eyes, acting like he didn’t know her and didn’t want to talk too much to her. The girl stared at him for a while, before she took a few steps forward as she asked, her tone not very certain, “Can I ask... are you Brother Xiao Yi?”
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, staring at the girl with his dark and deep eyes. “How do you know me?”
“Are you really Brother Xiao Yi? I came to Bardahl... to find you.” Since the girl had received a trauma, her eyes turned red unconsciously. “Do you still remember your Aunt Su Qing?”
At the mention of his aunt, Xiao Yi’s eyes constricted unconsciously as his fingers clenched into tight fists.
His aunt had sold herself to an old man for him and hanged herself when she couldn’t stand the torture anymore, her body ended up being thrown at the back of the mountain.
He would never ever forget the scene of him seeing his aunt being thrown at the back of the mountain.
“Who are you?”
