After being reborn, the aloof female CEO became a paranoid.

The woman was already furious, and seeing his continued attitude, she couldn't take it anymore. "Hey! Fine, you idiot! Since keeping you around is useless, then I'll give you a quick death today!"

Watching the woman get up, walk to the cabinet, and take out a dagger, Zhou Yu smiled slightly, then resignedly closed his eyes.

So be it……

The raised blade reflected a cold light in the air. Although Zhou Yu's eyes were closed, the blinding light still made his heart tremble.

Just as he was waiting for the pain to come, the door slammed shut with a loud bang. The door panel was kicked so hard by the person who rushed in that it slammed to the ground with a thud, sending up plumes of smoke.

A stream of hot liquid dripped onto Zhou Yu's face. Zhou Yu's eyelashes fluttered, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the dagger floating above his head, its blade held by someone's bare hand. The liquid dripping onto his face... was blood.

Zhou Yu's face was pale. He turned his gaze slightly and saw the woman's smooth-cut features and delicate face. But at this moment, her bloodshot eyes were fixed on the dagger above her head. Even though her palms were covered in blood, she showed no intention of letting go.

It's Mu Chenxi. Why is she here?

Doesn't she care about him at all?

However, it wasn't just Zhou Yu who was shocked, but also his subordinates.

Everyone had grabbed their weapons, intending to break down the door.

But who knew that the next second their CEO Mu would stand up from his wheelchair and rush straight into the locked room.

Their leader actually stood up?!

Is this the power of love?!

Can love enable a person who has been in a wheelchair for years to run like a normal person?

Under the shocked and astonished gazes of everyone, Mu Chenxi suddenly kicked the kidnapper away, and then immediately and tenderly untied the ropes from Zhou Yu's ropes.

After being bound for dozens of hours, the ropes binding Zhou Yu had become embedded in his flesh. After struggling to untie them, a deep bloodstain appeared on his wrist.

Coupled with maintaining the same posture for a long time, even the slightest movement was excruciatingly painful. When he turned his wrist to the front, Zhou Yu's face turned deathly pale, his expression filled with agony.

After a long pause, Zhou Yu finally had the strength to open his eyes. He gently moved his pale lips and said in a hoarse, weak voice, "You...you weren't not coming..."

"Be careful!!!"

As Mu Chenxi watched the thug rush towards Zhou Yu and prepare to strike, her pupils constricted instantly. Without thinking, she instinctively pushed Zhou Yu away and turned away.

puff-

A sharp knife suddenly pierced the woman's lower back. Mu Chenxi's expression changed, and she mustered all her strength to suddenly turn around and kick the woman away!

"Catch him!"

Mu Chenxi let out a low growl, then released Zhou Yu and knelt on the ground, swaying precariously.

"Mu Chenxi!"

Seeing the woman coughing up blood, Zhou Yu's knees buckled and he knelt down in front of her, using the little strength he had left to hold her hand tightly.

Tears instantly streamed down Zhou Yu's face, turning his already pale complexion even more ashen. "Mu Chenxi, how could you be so foolish? How could you use your own body to shield me?"

At this moment, all the previous feelings of despair, grief, and despondency were overwhelmed by fear and heartache.

Besides worry, all he felt was heartache.

Finally, Mu Chenxi could no longer kneel, and her body swayed and fell asleep, lying in the boy's arms.

Zhou Yu held the woman's head, his heart breaking, tears falling onto her face. "Mu Chenxi, hang in there. I'll take you to the hospital right now. Just hang in there."

With reddened eyes, Mu Chenxi trembled as she reached out and took the boy's hand in hers. She smiled weakly, tears welling in her eyes, "It's good that you're alright... You must have suffered so much these past few days... I'm so sorry, it's all my fault, I've made you suffer..."

Zhou Yu shook his head, tears streaming down his face, and gripped the woman's hand tightly, trembling uncontrollably. "Don't say anymore, don't say anymore, let's go to the hospital now."

As he spoke, Zhou Yu tried to get up, his body weak, but the woman grabbed his wrist and stubbornly said, "Let me finish what I have to say."

"..."

Zhou Yu had no choice but to sit back down on the ground and said to his men who had just dealt with the kidnappers, "Ambulance, call an ambulance quickly!"

"Good sir!"

"Ayu..."

Beneath her, the woman coughed up another mouthful of blood, her voice weak and feeble, "I'm sorry, I know... what I said on the phone must have hurt you... Please forgive me, I had no choice but to say those things, it wasn't what I truly meant..."

"I was just trying to appease that woman. I was afraid she would hurt you... I'd rather get hurt myself, even die for you, than see you suffer even the slightest harm... Forgive me, it really wasn't my intention..."

Zhou Yu could do nothing. Listening to the woman's explanation, he felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his heart, making him feel like he could suffocate at any moment. "Okay, okay, stop talking. Save your energy. The ambulance will be here soon. Hang in there."

Soon, the siren of an ambulance sounded.

As Mu Chenxi was put on an oxygen mask and carried into the ambulance, Zhou Yu staggered behind her, crying out, "Mu Chenxi, you must hold on! You must live!!!"

Mu Chenxi's face beneath the oxygen mask was deathly pale. After taking a deep look at the boy and the worry on his face, she closed the last slit in her eyes.

In the last moment before her consciousness faded, what appeared in her mind was Zhou Yu's hopeful, innocent, and sunny smile as he knelt in front of her in the hospital a few years ago, comforting her when she was limping.

……

Outside the operating room, the light was dim.

Zhou Yu sat alone on the bench, his back slightly hunched and his head bowed low.

Zhou Yu had been sitting there for several hours, but the operating room lights were still on. However, he had gradually calmed down from his initial fear and helplessness.

Every now and then, Zhou Yu would look up absentmindedly at the camera.

After an unknown amount of time, Mu Chenxi's assistant rushed over in a panic, packing up the newly bought food and placing it in front of him.

But Zhou Yu only glanced at her before looking away.

Mu Chenxi's assistant earnestly advised, "Sir, you've been sitting here for several hours now, why don't you eat something?"

"Just leave it here, we'll eat it later," Zhou Yu said.

Upon hearing this, the assistant looked troubled. "This... sir, why don't you go to the ward and wait for Mr. Mu? I've asked the doctor, and the knife stabbed him in the waist but didn't damage any internal organs. Mr. Mu should be out of danger."

Seeing that Zhou Yu did not speak, she continued, "And sir, please don't doubt President Mu anymore. Over the years, I have only seen you by President Mu's side. She only cares about you."

"Is that so?" Zhou Yu said indifferently.
