Chapter 718: Ambushed

“Cough…”

Yeh Hannian pressed a hand to his lips and chuckled, “Xiao Nannan, such questions, they’re not quite proper to ask a pure, innocent virgin like me.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s frown deepened.

Completely scornful.

But he wasn’t self-aware enough to feel scorned and insisted on leaning closer, “It’s true, I really don’t have anyone else.

I’m wildly loyal to you.”

Nan Jiaojiao didn’t want to back away; there was nowhere to hide here.

If she stepped back and slipped, she’d only hurt herself.

So instead, she stretched out her hand, used her fist to press against his forehead, and was about to push him away.

Suddenly, a whizzing sound approached from behind.

Both of their faces changed color at the same time.

By the time Nan Jiaojiao had a chance to react, Yeh Hannian suddenly leapt over, shielded her in his embrace, and took a bullet square in the back, right where the heart is located.

Nan Jiaojiao’s eyes widened slightly.

She could feel the tremor in the man’s body behind her left shoulder and a muffled groan fell by her ear.

“Don’t look back, hold tight.”

Yeh Hannian handed her the rope wound around Hook Claw.

Thinking twice, he deemed it unsatisfactory and instead wrapped it around her waist, then grabbed another rope and swiftly descended with her from the eighth floor.

Fortunately, Hook Claw was on a swivel, so her being tied up like that was relatively safe.

Upon landing, Yeh Hannian’s back hit the ground first as he rolled with her twice into a spot where the light couldn’t reach.

Nan Jiaojiao rolled off him, looked back, and upon touching his chest, felt the dampness.

The air quickly filled with the stench of blood.

“How are you?”

Nan Jiaojiao helped him up, not daring to go out and seek help; she feared that the sniper on the plane would spot them immediately.

Yeh Hannian handed her his phone.

“Dial the first number, call Yeh Xiao.

The attack was from my fifth uncle’s men; it has nothing to do with you.

You tell Yeh Xiao—”

“Just shut up, will you?”

Nan Jiaojiao glared at him.

Shot and still talking.

He really was asking for a longer life.

She got through on the phone and gave out their location.

Looking down, she saw Yeh Hannian staring at her with a smile, one that was particularly smug.

“Cuss at me again, I love hearing you scold me.”

Nan Jiaojiao felt a headache coming on.

“Your people are on their way.

The plane seems to have left.

Shall I take you out for emergency treatment now?”

“Not here, let’s switch to a different hospital.”

Yeh Hannian glanced toward Zhou Zining’s window.

Since the man was Nan Jiaojiao’s enemy, he had no reason to stay here and give others leverage over him.

He understood this girl; even if the people who came were there to kill him, the fact that he’d been shot while protecting Nan Jiaojiao was undeniable.

How could he have failed to dodge otherwise?

With her personality, she wouldn’t just walk away and leave him be.

If she happened to run into her nemesis, or if someone caught them in the act, it would provide an opportunity for them to exploit the situation, like delivering leverage right into their hands.

Nan Jiaojiao thought of this too.

She helped him up, got his car keys, and drove to another nearby hospital.

Just before entering the emergency room, Yeh Xiao and Yeh Xing hurriedly arrived.

Yeh Hannian locked eyes with Nan Jiaojiao and said just one sentence to her, “That year when you saved the kid, I named him Tuantuan.

If I really die, I’ll leave all my property to him.

Take care of it for me, will you?”

Nan Jiaojiao pursed her lips, giving no reply.

It was someone else’s property, and she had no right to meddle.

She stepped back to allow the nurses to wheel him in.

The words “In Surgery” lit up, and Nan Jiaojiao retreated to sit on the bench.

“Miss Nan, the person just now was…”

“No need to tell me.”

Nan Jiaojiao interrupted Yeh Xiao, “When he wakes up, you can tell him.”

“Yes.”

Yeh Xiao nodded, his hands subconsciously clasped in front of him, an inherent respect preventing any undue movement.
