The CEO admires the strong? I have been able to breathe independently since I was a child

Chi Dao was stunned at first, then he opened his lips slightly but no sound came out, and even his breathing stopped for a few seconds.

He shook his head and let out a short laugh, as dry as the crackling of dead leaves, with obvious self-doubt.

"How could you possibly..."

The voice was unnaturally soft.

Chi Xu suddenly grabbed his shoulders, his expression solemn. "If Meibao really liked you before, you can do it, right? Chi Dao, look at me, you can win her favor again, right? "

His tense shoulders suddenly slumped, and a warm current surged up from deep within his chest.

Chi Dao raised his hands to cover his eyes, his palms pressing against his eyelids and trembling slightly, but the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably, revealing an expression that looked like he was half crying and half laughing.

"help me."

"I'll help you! I will definitely help you!" Chi Xu wished his brother could be with such a strong sister, "But you can't leave now! I'll put my help aside for now, and help me find Wang Qi first!"

She was kidnapped and has a trauma in her heart. She must be crying her nose red now.

There is always a chance of something happening. If she really gets hurt, he will never forgive himself in his life.

Chi Dao was silent for a moment. "Wang Yan is a business tycoon here. He has close ties with gangs and drug lords. You go find him, so..."

He paused and said, "In the name of Brother Xiaoxiao, he will meet you."

"Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, Chi Xu walked out the door.

I was so hurried that I almost forgot to take my cell phone.

Chi Dao glanced at the sunlight outside, and his pale face seemed to gradually turn a little red.

He let out a long sigh, turned and walked out of the ward.

As soon as I got on the elevator to the first floor, my cell phone rang.

It’s Chi Xu.

"Go downstairs, in room 1710, Xiaoxiao is injured."

Chi Dao was stunned, thinking about how she saved him from the hail of bullets last night...

She's hurt! ?

He didn't have time to wait for the elevator and ran up the stairs in a hurry.

He stumbled and bumped into many people, and the wound under the gauze split open due to the collision, oozing a trace of blood.

From time to time, complaints and insults could be heard from the crowd.

The man apologized, "Lo siento."

Room 1710.

Chi Xiao was drinking medicine, and Wang Yan next to her was staring at her without blinking, as if if she frowned, he would ask why the medicine was so bitter!

"Meibao, where is Wang Qi?"

Chi Xu's mind and eyes were full of Wang Qi. When he called Wang Yan, Chi Xiao had just woken up.

So he hurried over.

Chi Xiao didn't intend to hide it from him. "A man named Su Ji kidnapped her. He was very smart and deliberately hid his tracks. Even after checking all the surveillance cameras, no one could find his direction."

"Su Ji!?" The tense string in Chi Xu's mind suddenly broke, and he felt like he was struck by lightning, and his body couldn't help but shake.

"you know?"

More than recognition.

Now they are mortal enemies.

Chi Xu tried his best to control his emotions, but he couldn't help the numbness and pain in his chest.

Su Ji still has evil intentions towards Wang Qi. This time he kidnapped him and might do something cruel.

During the year that Wang Qi was dating the other person, he secretly conducted a detailed investigation, and even found out everything about the man after he went abroad to study.

This person had previously studied for a master's degree in the United States and could have gone straight to a doctorate, but he refused to stay in school and instead went into scientific research in emerging technologies. In just a few years, he obtained many patents.

It was originally thought that he wanted to rely on Wang Yan to climb up, and when he returned to China, he would have the capital to pursue Wang Qi.

As a result, he tied the man up!

madman!

"I probably won't be able to calm down right now."

Chi Xiao lowered his eyes and was about to say a few words to comfort him when the door opened.

She looked in the direction he directed her, and her gaze suddenly fixed when it met the person, her brows unconsciously furrowed.

"He's so badly injured, and he's still running around."

A trace of panic flashed across the man's usually cold face, as if he had been hurt. He subconsciously hid the blood-stained cuffs behind his back.

His pale lips were pressed into a straight line, but when his eyes met hers, his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"I wanted to see you, so I was a little anxious."

When Uncle Gu was away, Wang Yan began to reveal his bad nature.

"Are you in a hurry to be reborn or to die?"

Chi Xiao turned around and glanced at Wang Yan, who pursed his lips and snorted softly.

Chi Dao covered his chest and limped to sit on the chair beside her bed.

After just a few steps, cold sweat began to run down his face.

"Wang Yan, ask someone to send another bed."

Wang Yan picked up his phone and wanted someone to make arrangements.

"Go in person."

Wang Yan squeezed her hand, stood up gracefully and walked towards the door.

Chi Dao also went out and contacted Qiu Xing and his men to check Su Ji's whereabouts.

In an instant, there were only two people left in the ward.

"Are you hurt anywhere vital?" Chi Dao asked softly.

"Just a scratch, nothing serious."

Actually it is not.

He was shot in the chest, missing his heart by three centimeters, and almost died.

She didn't want to make him worry or feel guilty, so she chose to keep silent.

"Your eyes..." Chi Xiao looked at the glaring gauze, with obvious heartache in his eyes.

"A few scrapes, nothing serious."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

The atmosphere became relaxed.

"Brother, Mom's birthday is coming soon. I have prepared a birthday present. Please give it to Mom on my behalf."

Chi Dao's faint smile froze at the corner of his mouth, "Aren't you going back?"

"The mission is not yet complete. It will take some time."

Mission is a good excuse to avoid many unspeakable things.

"Is it about Wang Yan?"

Chi Xiao responded randomly.

Suddenly, a pink sparrow with messy feathers fluttered into the house, flew around the room, and finally landed on Chi Xiao's head, chirping.

She shook her head, and the bird flew over to the TV and started hopping around again.

The people outside the door also held their breath.

"You are quite special to him."

He ran back to save him regardless of his own life and was seriously injured.

"It's a target mission after all." Chi Xiao didn't want to talk in depth, so he asked, "How did Second Brother offend the gangsters?"

"Some misunderstandings."

It seems that he doesn’t want to say it.

Forget it, as long as his life is safe, there is no need for her to ask too much.

Everyone has secrets that they don't want to share, and asking more would be crossing the line.

Chi Dao's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then he slowly stood up and sat on the edge of the bed.

The bony hand hesitated in mid-air for a moment, and finally landed gently on her forehead.

The warmth of the palm is transmitted through the skin, and the movements are restrained and gentle, like touching a fragile piece of porcelain.

"You seem to have a fever."

"Well...I haven't had enough rest recently, so my resistance has dropped."

Time seemed to be stretched, and every minute and every second became extremely clear.

Chi Xiao waited for a long time, but the hand still showed no sign of leaving.

"Second brother." She leaned back, and he slowly withdrew his hand.

"You're... unfamiliar with me."

How can we not feel unfamiliar if we are not the same person?

In fact, Chi Xiao’s feelings towards Chi Dao are very simple now, and she just treats him as her brother.

No extra thoughts.

But for Chi Dao, this deliberate distance was a sign that their relationship was cooling.

I can't accept it, and I can't control the longing that has lasted for so long and has nowhere to release it.

"Xiaoxiao, if there's anything you need me to do, I'll definitely help you."
