Abstinence Pei, don't be too sweet when chasing your wife

The next day, Gu Fanxing stood at the door of the ward. The sharp alarm of the monitor seemed to still echo in her ears. She pressed her knuckles against the cold door handle and did not move.

The smell of disinfectant seeped in from the crack of the door, like an invisible hand gripping her heart.

When Ling Jiuer was pushed into the operating room yesterday, her bloodless face gradually overlapped with the pale figure on the hospital bed at this moment - under the oxygen mask, her friend's eyelashes trembled weakly, and the gauze-wrapped wound meandered across the collarbone, spreading a large dark red patch on the pure white hospital gown.

"Ms. Gu, Miss Ling is blessed by fate, you don't have to worry too much." Du Fei's voice came from behind.

He walked into the ward and placed a fever-reducing patch on Ling Jiuer's forehead, his movements as gentle as if he were handling fragile glass. "The doctor said that after two more days of observation, she will be out of danger."

Gu Fanxing walked to the bedside, his fingertips hovering above Ling Jiuer's bandaged head, but he didn't dare to touch it in the end.

Memories surged like a tide: on Yunqi Mountain, Ling Jiuer suddenly rushed over to block the iron rod for her; amid the sound of the ambulance siren, the blood-stained pearl hairpin fell at her feet; and at this moment, while she was unconscious, her friend unconsciously murmured "Don't be afraid, stars"... Her nails dug deep into her palms, and she heard the sound of gears cracking in her chest.

"I want to find them." Her voice was eerily calm, yet with a heart-pounding tremor, "Those rats hiding in the dark turned Jiu'er into such a beast."

The phone vibrated in my palm, and the location coordinates sent by the private detective flashed on the map like a beating bloody heart.

Du Fei held down her hand as she tried to push the door open. His black backpack slipped down, revealing half of his pepper spray. "It's too risky. At least wait until President Pei sends someone..."

"Wait for them to move the evidence? Or wait for them to come back?" Gu Fanxing shook off his hand, and the pearl hairpin flashed with a cold light as she moved. "Jiu'er is lying here unconscious, how can I just sit there and wait for her to die?"

When she turned around, the unhealed bruises on her neck shone purple in the light. "This time, I'm going to expose the mastermind to the light of day."

Night fell over the old city in the west of the city. Gu Fanxing pulled the brim of his black baseball cap very low and blended into the bustling crowd.

Two figures wearing baseball caps were wandering in front. They were the thugs who injured Ling Jiuer in the surveillance video.

She wrapped her black windbreaker tightly around her, keeping a distance of three pedestrians from them, her heart beating violently in her chest.

The gangster turned into a dim alley, and Gu Fanxing stuck to the mottled wall, carefully avoiding the puddles on the ground.

The alley was filled with garbage cans that emitted a foul smell. A wild cat was startled and let out a shrill cry that made her tremble all over.

The sound of a lighter lighting a cigarette came from the front. Gu Fanxing held his breath and poked his head out from the corner.

Two thugs leaned against the iron gate, puffing away. One of them casually threw a cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it with his foot: "That girl is still lying in the hospital?"

"Don't worry, she won't die anytime soon." Another thug sneered. "If she hadn't intervened and blocked the stick for that woman, I'm afraid our mission would have been completed long ago. How despicable."

Before he could finish his words, a motorcycle roared past the alley and Gu Fanxing suddenly shrank back.

It turned out that their target was her, and Ling Jiuer became an innocent scapegoat.

When the sound of the motorcycle faded away, she stuck her head out again, only to find that the alley was empty.

Her heart sank as she hurried forward. The lock on the iron door had been opened, revealing a dark gap. Taking a deep breath, she pulled out the pepper spray hidden in her sleeve and gently pushed the iron door open.

Behind the door was a narrow staircase leading underground.

Gu Fanxing took every step carefully, for fear of making any noise.

At the end of the stairs was a half-open wooden door, from which came intermittent conversation: "That woman is really lucky. She escaped twice, but she won't be so lucky next time."

Gu Fanxing's nails almost dug into his palms, and the image of Ling Jiuer lying on the hospital bed appeared in front of him again.

She gripped the pepper spray tightly and was about to push the door open when a loose wooden board under her feet suddenly creaked.

The room instantly fell silent. Her pupils shrank, and she turned and ran. Behind her, she heard hurried footsteps and angry roars: "Who! Stop right there!"

Suddenly, heavy rain poured down. She stuffed the pepper spray into her sleeves and moved against the wall, holding her breath. The metal shell of the pepper spray became slippery due to the sweat from her palms.

Two dark shadows rushed out from the corner like ghosts. The switchblade swung by the short man drew a half circle of cold arc light in the dim sky. The blade barely brushed past her ear, and the cut hair fell to the ground.

"You're quite courageous, my little beauty!" He approached with a sly grin. "We were just about to look for you, but you were smart enough to walk right into our trap. Very good."

He reached out to grab her wrist, but Gu Fanxing suddenly leaned back, hitting the back of her head hard against the wall, and a golden star exploded in front of her eyes.

Another thug swung an iron rod to block the retreat, the rusty and blood-stained rod waving in front of her eyes: "Since it's delivered to your door, why not let us play with it first..."

Dirty words accompanied by a strong smell of alcohol came towards him. Gu Fanxing suppressed the churning in his stomach and suddenly sprayed the entire bottle of pepper spray into the other person's eyes.

The screams tore through the silence, and the gangster covered his eyes and twitched wildly.

Gu Fanxing took the opportunity to turn around and run, but her high heels slipped on the wet ground and she fell heavily on the broken glass. The sharp glass shards instantly cut her palm, and the excruciating pain almost made her faint.

"Bitch! I want you dead!" He roared and swung his knife. At the critical moment, the factory door exploded.

Pei Luonan rushed in like black lightning, his black windbreaker rustling in the heavy rain, and the dazzling beam of the tactical flashlight in his hand hit the gangster's face directly.

The short thug was temporarily blinded by the strong light, but he swung his knife instinctively.

Pei Luonan dodged sideways and hit the opponent's ribs with his elbow.

The gangster groaned and staggered back two steps. The switchblade in his hand brushed against the hem of Pei Luonan's windbreaker, leaving a hideous gash.

"Get out!" Pei Luonan's voice was low and dangerous.

Another thug took the opportunity to swing an iron rod from behind and hit him on the back of the head with a loud whistling sound.

At the critical moment, Pei Luonan turned around suddenly and blocked the attack with his forearm.

There was a dull sound of bones colliding, and his arm instantly became red and swollen, but he didn't pause at all, and slammed his knee into the gangster's abdomen.

The gangster bent over in pain, and Pei Luonan seized the opportunity, turned his palm into a knife, and chopped the back of the man's neck.

The gangster collapsed to the ground, unable to resist.

But before Pei Luonan could catch his breath, the short thug had adjusted his state and pounced on him again.

This time his attack was even more ferocious. The blade made a sound of breaking through the air and went straight for Pei Luonan's throat.

Pei Luonan retreated continuously, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

His heart tightened when his back suddenly hit the rusty iron frame.

Seeing the situation, the short man showed a grim smile on his face and quickened the pace of his attack.

Just as the blade was about to touch his skin, Pei Luonan suddenly raised his leg and kicked the connection of the iron frame. The rusted iron frame groaned under the heavy weight and collapsed.

The short man's legs were crushed by the fallen iron frame and he howled in pain.

Pei Luonan didn't hesitate at all, rushing forward and punching the other man in the face again and again. As blood splattered, the short man's resistance gradually weakened, and he finally collapsed to the ground.

Pei Luonan turned and rushed towards Gu Fanxing. He knelt on one knee, took off his windbreaker and wrapped it around her shivering body. His bloody fingers gently wiped away the rain and tears on her face: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

The sound of sirens in the distance grew closer and closer. Pei Luonan held her tightly in his arms, listening to her rapid heartbeat gradually calm down.

At this time, the flame of revenge in Gu Fanxing's heart was still burning. She knew that the real mastermind behind the scenes was about to surface.
