Pirates of Love
Chapter 7 Chapter 7
Hulot opened his eyes at the first slight click of the thin wire in the lock.
Without hesitating for half a second, he quickly put on his clothes and got up, picked up the gun next to his pillow and loaded it.
"Who?"
Before the words were finished, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then a tall and thin figure rushed towards him. He instinctively turned his head to dodge, and then the other party punched the person behind him with a strong blow. the wall.
As soon as the man missed the blow, he jumped away and quickly rolled to the other side of the bed.
Yin Chenxing lifted the quilt, reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, and the room suddenly brightened.He squinted his eyes and looked at the person, his expression suddenly full of surprise.
"Aji, eleven?"
Chu Ji was leaning against the door frame, pointing his gun at Yu Luo, while Yu Luo passed Yin Chenxing with the gun in his hand, and aimed straight at Lin Shiyi beside the bed.
The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
"Why are you here?" Yu Luo's voice dropped to freezing point in an instant, "Didn't you come here specially to see me off?"
"We don't have that leisurely mind." Lin Shiyi glared at him, "We just want to bring Chen Xing back."
Chu Ji said coldly: "Chen Xing, come to my side." As he said that, he moved two steps to the side to make room beside him.
Unexpectedly, Yin Chenxing didn't do so, but just lowered his head and muttered.
"Chen Xing? Chen Xing, go over there!" Seeing him like this, Lin Shiyi became a little anxious, "Aren't you brainwashed by Yu Luo? He's a member of the secret society!"
Yin Chenxing sighed: "I don't, and I know who he is."
"Then what are you dawdling about?"
A gloomy light and shadow flashed across Yu Luo's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Lin Shiyi, you are not qualified to make decisions for Chen Xing!"
"Go to your uncle, do you have the qualifications? You haven't made us miserable enough? Chen Xing's leg injury hasn't healed yet!"
Yu Luo snorted coldly, and his fingers slowly moved towards the trigger.
"Yu Luo!" Yin Chenxing leaned over, reached out and held the muzzle of the gun tightly, "Listen to me, I have no intention of leaving."
"Chen Xing." Chu Ji said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are talking about? You mean, you want to go to City E with him?"
Yu Luo sneered: "Chu Ji, you know really well."
"As long as I want to know, there is nothing I can't find out."
"That is to say, you must snatch Chen Xing away today?"
"Take it away? Chen Xing is from Wuji, he is my Chu Ji's brother!"
Yin Chenxing suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and was meeting Chu Ji's long and beautiful eyes, the latter's eyes overlapped with deep and shallow light and shadow, in addition to concern and worry, there was also firmness that cannot be questioned.
What else can I say?The brothers desperately followed the ship, just to snatch themselves back. This friendship alone is enough to break the body and give it nothing to repay.
However...he still has unfinished business.
How could he just give up at this point, and how could he be so determined to drag everyone into danger together? For some things, it is enough to go alone.
"I'm sorry, Aji." Yin Chenxing responded in a low voice, "I have an agreement with Yu Luo, and I can't break my word."
Lin Shiyi said angrily: "What about us? You don't care?!"
"I'll be back sooner or later."
"You think he'll let you go back?"
Yin Chenxing was speechless.
He really doesn't know if Yu Luo will let go of him in the future, he can only be sure that Yu Luo will not hurt himself for the time being, but this little bit of certainty is so humble that it makes people feel sad.
Isn't it already decided?Why hesitate any longer.
Indecision is not Yin Chenxing's style.
"Aji, take them back, you have to trust me."
You believe me.
Chu Ji's fingers holding the gun were slowly clenched, and he remained sternly silent.
Yu Luo glanced at Yin Chenxing, seemingly helpless, he paused for a while, finally put away his gun, and turned to Chu Ji expressionlessly.
"Take your people and go. This time, just pretend that I didn't see anything, but Chen Xing, I must stay."
Even if Chen Xing has a grudge against me, I will try my best to lock him by my side. This is my obsession, and it is the only decision I don't want to consider the consequences.
No relationship is absolutely sane, unless it's a transaction.
But the reason why I made such a stubborn decision is not the so-called deal, but I love you.
Chen Xing, we both think we understand each other very well, but in fact, I still can't fully understand you, and you also don't understand me well enough.
But it doesn't matter, it's still a long time.
As long as I don't let you go.
However, before Chu Ji could answer, he heard a piercing shout from outside.
"on fire--!!!"
He turned his head in surprise, but saw Hu Luo opposite him also showing an expression of surprise.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
The noise and crying instantly filled the entire cabin.
The door was slammed open, and members of the dark society hurried in.
"Boss, the ship is on fire...huh?" The leader suddenly saw Chu Ji and Lin Shiyi, was startled, and subconsciously wanted to touch the gun at his waist.
"It's okay, these two are my guests." Yu Luo signaled him not to be nervous, "What's going on?"
"The ship suddenly caught fire. I don't know who did it, but two groups of people have already fought on the deck, as if they were trying to rescue the lifeboat."
Yu Luo frowned, and before he could answer, he saw Chu Ji and Lin Shiyi passing by, and disappeared outside the door like the wind.
"Yu Luo." Yin Chenxing quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed, "The arsonist is here for you."
"I know." Yu Luo opened the door, looked at the approaching flames outside, with a stern expression, "The only one who has a reason to do this is Zhou Shaoting."
On the surface, the Dark Society is loyal to Lie Yan, but secretly it has been planning a comeback, and Lie Yan has never really trusted the Dark Society. In the eyes of Lie Yan's owner, the Dark Society is by no means a reliable ally, but a weapon that may explode at any time.
The most important thing is that Yu Luo is too outstanding and too arrogant. It is conceivable how Zhou Shaoting can feel at ease keeping such a dangerous man by his side.
It is naturally the best to take this opportunity to get rid of the thorn in my side.
Even if it takes a whole boat for this, it can be regarded as a trivial matter.
"We have to help Aji." Yin Chenxing stood in front of Yu Luo with calm eyes, "As far as I know, there are only three lifeboats, so..."
So, not everyone has a chance of surviving.
Time is running out.
Yu Luo said in a deep voice: "Everyone follow me, and temporarily assist Wuji's people to seize the lifeboat." After speaking, he tightly grasped Yin Chenxing's fingers, and rushed towards the deck without turning his head.
No matter who the culprit is, he must not be left alive this time.
...Meanwhile, the bow deck.
The passenger doors, who were forced by the fire in the cabin and had nowhere to go back, crowded around the railing, looking at a group of people fighting in the melee not far away in horror. No one dared to step forward. They clearly saw that those people were all carrying gun.
Some passengers couldn't bear the pressure and jumped off the boat one by one. This behavior, which is tantamount to suicide, further ignited the fear of the remaining passengers. The cries echoed over the sea and lingered for a long time.
Xiao Ran, Lin Shiyi and four strong men in black fought with each other. Later, people from the underworld also joined in. For a while, only the shadows of people were confused, and the specific objects could not be seen clearly under the moonlight.
Under such circumstances, bullets are useless, but what is uncomfortable is that the four men in black seem to be the top masters of Lie Yan, and they have not lost the wind in the battle against nearly twenty people.
Zhou Shaoting was really willing to spend all his money.
Holding his gun, Chu Ji was forcing the captain to untie the rope that bound the lifeboat.
"Ah Ji." Qi Bai called him, "Do you want the first officer to try to ask for help?"
"No need."
"what?"
"No need." Chu Ji glanced at the frightened first officer who was hiding in the distance, and said affirmatively, "It's too late to ask for help, today's crew will basically end up in the sea .”
After such a cruel fact was uttered from his mouth, it turned out to be very calm and breezy. Qi Bai was silent for a while, but finally he was speechless.
"Xiaobai, this is the end of the matter, you should know who is behind the scenes, right?"
"Well, but I didn't expect that Shaoting would be so eager to get rid of Hu Luo."
"If he knew you were on board, he might not have made such a decision."
Qi Bai's heart was heavy at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard Chu Ji's words: "Ah Ji, don't tell me you're jealous."
Chu Ji stared at the other party's slightly playful crescent eyes, his mind was slightly swaying, and he was about to speak, but suddenly he heard Lin Shiyi roaring at the top of his voice: "Damn it! Xiao Ran!" He suddenly turned his head , Seeing that Xiao Ran's abdomen had been cut by a short knife at some point, his clothes were bloody, and at this moment he was being pressed by one of the men in black to retreat step by step until he reached the railing and there was no way out.
"Xiaobai, lower the lifeboat!" He only had time to say this before he flew up to meet the man in black.
It seems that the strength of the coming people is far beyond their imagination.The physical strength and endurance of these men in black have far exceeded the standards of normal people, and one can tell that they must have undergone unusual training, and they are definitely not thugs in the ordinary sense.
Lie Yan, there are still things they don't know about.
Lin Shiyi was concerned about Xiao Ran's injury, and her moves gradually became disorganized. Suddenly, she was punched hard by the opponent a few times, blood oozing from the corners of her lips.
"Eleventh, take Xiao Ran to Xiaobai's side!" Chu Ji gritted his teeth and resisted the opponent's slap, turned around and dragged the weak Xiao Ran towards Lin Shiyi, "Hurry up and get on the lifeboat!"
The members of the dark society retreated steadily. Some of them were thrown off the ship by the men in black, and some of them were directly knocked down and never got up again.Yin Chenxing had been held tightly in Yu Luo's arms and was not allowed to go. Now seeing that Xiao Ran was injured and the battle was in a critical situation, he finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, and elbowed hard against Yu Luo's lower abdomen.
"Let go of me, I don't want to fight with you!"
The blow was accurate and ruthless, Yu Luo was caught off guard, and he broke free and watched him leave his arms and rush towards the man in black: "...Chen Xing, come back!" Immediately following Yin Chen Xing's footsteps Joined the fray.
The flames behind him lit up half of the sky, and the scene was completely out of control.
Qi Bai finally helped the captain who was almost limp on the ground to put down all the lifeboats, turned his head and shouted: "Come here on Eleven!"
Lin Shiyi arrived in an instant with Xiao Ran on his back. He carefully put Xiao Ran down and said in a low voice, "Xiao Bai, hurry up and take Xiao Ran into the lifeboat. I'll help A Ji."
"What are you going to do, you take Xiao Ran first!" Qi Bai couldn't help but push him up the escalator, "Stop Xiao Ran's bleeding quickly, I'll help A Ji!" Lin Shiyi didn't refuse as he spoke. Seeing the opportunity, he turned around and ran towards Chu Ji without looking back.
Seeing that the lifeboat had been launched, the passengers on the ship had their survival instincts finally aroused. At this moment, they rushed towards the lifeboat one after another, trying their best to squeeze towards the lifeboat.
One of the men in black stepped out of the battle circle temporarily, put his hand on his waist, and fired a shot into the sky without hesitation.Because the gun was removed, the gun was particularly shocking in the noisy environment.
The passengers stopped and turned around in horror.
"Only the lifeboat on the right is usable. You can fight for it at will, and I won't interfere. But..." The man in black's voice was gloomy and hoarse, without any emotion, as if what he was facing at this moment was just a group of insignificant ants , "Whoever dares to move the other two ships will be killed immediately. The gun in my hand does not recognize anyone!"
If you want to survive, you can, but not everyone is qualified.
Under the threat of bullets, all the passengers were scrambling to get on the lifeboat on the far right. Many people were knocked into the water but were still trying to climb up. At this time, Lin Shiyi had already supported Xiao Ran on board. the leftmost one,
Yu Luo turned around, and was suddenly hit by the man in black who was punching him directly in the heart. After barely avoiding it, he still couldn't avoid the shoulder area. He immediately stepped back a few steps, and when he looked up again, his eyebrows were stained with anger.
"Get out of the way!"
The man in black seemed to sneer, he approached him without dodging or avoiding, and purposefully led him step by step to the rear railing.
"Yu Luo!" Yin Chenxing's right leg is not very flexible yet. Seeing that Yu Luo is at a disadvantage, but it is difficult to get out to help, Yin Chenxing can't help feeling anxious, "Be careful behind you!"
Hu Luo moved aside nimbly, and the dagger brushed past his ear, making a piercing sound of wind piercing the air—the blade was even stained with Xiao Ran's blood.
Yin Chenxing pulled out the silver dagger that never left his body, and blocked another short knife that came towards him for Chu Ji: "Aji, take Xiaobai first, and go find Eleven!"
"What about you?"
"I must be with Hulot!"
"Chen Xing, are you crazy?" Chu Ji was about to get angry, "This ship is about to sink!"
Yin Chenxing shook his head: "I can't leave him behind."
...Qi Bai, who had been guarded by Chu Ji all this time, suddenly came to the front like lightning, he turned his head and said in a deep voice: "I really don't have time soon."
Chu Ji frowned, and stretched out his hand to pull him back, but Yu Luo shouted loudly: "Chu Ji, take Chen Xing away!"
"Ah Ji, don't listen to him, you hurry up and go!" Yin Chenxing took a firm look at Chu Ji, turned around and ran towards Yu Luo resolutely. Because of his leg injury, his figure was a little unstable, but this time But it didn't affect the almost crazy speed at all.
While Chu Ji was stunned, the dagger of the man in black approached him.However, at the critical moment, Qi Bai subconsciously used his unhealed left arm to block him, but in the end he couldn't do what he wanted, and was dragged heavily by the blade from his arm, leaving half of his sleeve soaked in bright red.
Chu Ji's eyes were sharp in an instant, and his eyes were as cold as snowflakes.
He has agreed on the person to protect, and he has agreed on the mistakes he will never make again, and he cannot repeat the same mistakes.
"Aji!" The magic soldier descended from the sky, and Lin Shiyi appeared on the water behind him in a lifeboat, "Come down quickly! The boat is going to sink!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Ji's mind in an instant, but without saying a word, he just stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Bai into his arms, and before the latter could react, he slapped Qi Bai's chest neatly. The back of the neck—the strength of this blow was extremely precise, just enough to make the opponent temporarily lose the ability to resist. Chu Ji lifted Qi Bai up by the waist, turned around and threw him directly from the railing.
Everything happens in an instant.
Lin Shiyi stood on the boat and firmly caught the falling Qi Bai.
The flames had already covered the deck, and the raging flames reflected Chu Ji's handsome face, as if there was a bit of a strange feeling.He stood where he was, and through the hazy smoke, he vaguely noticed that the man in black in front of him was slowly retreating.
Then, one of the men in black stretched his hand into his arms and aimed at Hu Luo from afar.
His own gun had fallen into the sea in the previous battle. At the critical moment, Chu Ji tore off the steel button on his chest and threw it as a concealed weapon. He hit the gun handle in the hand of the man in black, and the gun missed. Sparks flew from the railing next to Hulot.
At the same time, the man in black who was closest to Chu Ji turned the handle of the knife suddenly, and the short knife instantly extended by nearly half a meter, and plunged straight into Chu Ji's chest.
Chu Ji trembled violently, and then grabbed the blade with his hands, but the man still didn't give up, but tried again, intending to stab deeper and take his life directly.
The ship shook violently, and the background was the cries of the passengers who seemed to be insane, like the end of the world.
The blade cut through the palm of his hand, and blood trickled down the silver blade wall. Chu Ji heard Qi Bai's heart-piercing cry on the sea.
"Aji—!"
Ah Ji.
If I just died like this, how unwilling I would be.
His eyes were as silent as the night, flashing a sharp and decisive look, Chu Ji suddenly shouted, and cut off the extended long knife from the middle with his left hand, and then grabbed the man in black by the collar without hesitation, The right hand suddenly pulled out the remaining half of the blade in front of the chest, gritted his teeth and inserted it into the opponent's heart until it sank several inches.
The man never expected that he would take such a desperate move, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he slowly fell backwards.
There was a sudden sound of gunfire.
The two men in black who were entangled with Yu Luoyin Chenxing fell to the ground with a flick of their eyebrows. Chu Ji barely raised his head, and found that the other man in black in front of him had also fallen down.
Undoubtedly, the timing and angle of the first two shots were extremely accurate, and they must have come from Lin Shiyi, who has excellent marksmanship, and the last shot...
It's Qi Bai.
This was the first time in Qi Bai's life that he shot someone.
He had put all his eggs in one basket, and either killed the man in black, or watched him kill Chu Ji.
Had no choice but did not expect, really succeeded.
The hull was slowly sinking into the water, and Yu Luo directed the members of the dark society to board the second lifeboat, then picked up Yin Chenxing, and turned around to take a deep look at Chu Ji.
Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips and smiled proudly. He used his last bit of strength to climb over the railing, finally let go of his hand, and fell powerlessly into the icy sea water.
The world seemed to suddenly quiet down.
In the vagueness, it seemed to hear someone's singing again.
Low, distant, as if from a dream.
Qi Bai was in a state of blank mind for a long time, until Lin Shiyi's eager shout pulled him back from the confusion to reality.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai! Come and help me!"
He turned his head subconsciously, and saw Lin Shiyi, who jumped into the water at some point, was swimming towards the boat with Chu Ji, who was unconscious, and behind Lin Shiyi, the ship had gradually sank to the bottom of the sea with flames.
The other two lifeboats were nowhere to be found. The sea was terribly silent, and the night wind was icy cold, almost chilling the heart.
The blood on the left arm was still bubbling, and it was so soft that he couldn't lift any strength at all. Qi Bai didn't have time to care about his own minor injuries, but tried his best to stretch his good right arm to help Lin Shiyi pull Chu Ji up. lifeboat.
Lin Shiyi supported the edge and turned over, and ran forward without stopping to start the lifeboat, but after a while, the small boat flew like an arrow on the sea.
It was too late for them to go back to City C, and the closest area to here was City E, the most urgent task now was to send Chu Ji to the hospital in City E for treatment.
As for whether it will be exposed... I can't think about it so much.
"Aji...Aji..." Qi Bai hugged Chu Ji tightly in his arms, and called out to him while tearing off the hem of his clothes to stop the bleeding, but Chu Ji kept his eyes closed with a pale face, without any response .
The cloth strip used to stop the bleeding was completely soaked in no time, but the blood from the wound showed no sign of stopping.
The knife wound on Xiao Ran's abdomen was not deep, and Lin Shiyi had already made a simple bandage just now, he reluctantly moved over from the side, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why, the bleeding won't stop?"
Qi Bai probed Chu Ji's weaker and weaker breathing, and even his fingers were trembling for a while. He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly turned his head and shouted at Lin Shiyi: "How long is it? Hurry up!"
Hurry up, or I'm afraid it will be too late.
"...noisy...what's the noise..."
He lowered his head in surprise, and saw that Chu Ji was struggling to open his eyes, and his eyes stayed on his face for a moment.
"A Ji, are you awake?" After a pause, Qi Bai happily grabbed the latter's hand, "How do you feel?"
Chu Ji was unable to speak, but his eyes slowly moved to his left arm.Qi Bai was startled, and subconsciously reached out his hand to block Chu Ji's sight: "Don't move around, we'll be in City E soon."
"Xiao Bai, you..."
"I'm fine." Qi Bai replied firmly, "You should worry about yourself now, be obedient!"
Although the pain from the wound made his lips turn bloodless, Chu Ji still showed a slight smile. His face looked more and more handsome under the moonlight, so gentle that it seemed unreal.
"noob."
"Ah."
Chu Ji moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed very lightly, and closed his eyes wearily again.
"Xiaobai, I'm cold."
The coldness caused by the excessive blood loss spread wildly to his limbs, making him feel like he was about to freeze.
Consciousness is fuzzy, and there is always an illusion of nowhere in the trance, which makes him uneasy.Like a ship without support, it is eager to dock, but finds that it cannot find the established harbor.
He is really cold.
Qi Bai took off his coat and covered Chu Ji, then bent down and hugged him even harder.
"Aji, hold on, I'm here."
I am here, I am with you.
A Ji, you must not have imagined how scared I was just now, I was even thinking, if something happened to you, then I would rather go with you than live in the shadow of losing you from now on.
I was almost intimidated by the thought of myself.
You always caught me off guard, but when I really realized it, I couldn't escape you.
Xiao Ran sat quietly at the side, watching Qi Bai hugging Chu Ji with his eyes closed, sighing quietly, then turned his eyes to look at Lin Shiyi who was driving the lifeboat.
Almost instantly, Lin Shiyi also turned around, and the two met each other's eyes, and both saw unspeakable concern and affection in each other's eyes.
The night is like ink, and the mind is slightly cool.
E City, a private hospital.
The doctors here never dreamed that in the dead of night, they would welcome a few evil stars who seemed to have returned from the battlefield, and that tall, thin and handsome man had a gun.
Even though it was impossible for anyone to joke about their own lives at this time, those doctors and nurses almost knelt on the ground and swore that they would never leak their information.
"Listen to me, if anyone tries to call the police, I will immediately set fire to this hospital. In addition, from now until tomorrow night, no one is allowed to step out of here without my permission!" Lin Shiyi remained cold from beginning to end One face, until seeing Chu Ji and the three of them being pushed into the operating room, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhong Li who had returned to C City.
Sister Zhong Li, let Lian Si bring enough people to the Ankang Hospital in District [-] of E City before [-]:[-] pm tomorrow. We urgently need support.
Soon, Zhong Li replied, just one word, okay.
There is always an unspeakable tacit understanding between her and them.
After doing all this, Lin Shiyi was really relieved, and turned around and sat on the seat in the corridor.
Fortunately, the location is remote, and there are no hospitalized patients at all, and I heard that the business is also very light on weekdays. As long as these few medical staff are under control, there should be no risk of exposure for the time being.
He doesn't ask for anything else now, he just hopes that his brothers will be safe and sound.
... the minutes and seconds passed, until the east was white and the dawn was approaching.
Xiao Ran and Qi Bai had already been pushed into the ward one after another, while Chu Ji was still receiving treatment in the operating room because of his serious injuries.Lin Shiyi rubbed her temples trying to wake herself up, then got up, ready to go to see Xiao Ran, but didn't want to be stopped just two steps away.
"Zhang...Mr. Zhang."
He turned his head and saw the little nurse looking at him in fear: "What's the matter?"
"Yes...it's about the injury of the patient named Bai...the doctor asked me to tell you..."
"What?" Lin Shi Yiyin had a bad feeling, and he couldn't help raising his voice, "Is there something wrong with Xiaobai's injury?"
The little nurse was so frightened that he trembled, and whispered in a crying voice: "The doctor said that multiple major nerves in his left arm were damaged, and he had lost a lot of blood, plus... plus there were old injuries that hadn't healed before, so he fully recovered. The possibility is very small."
Full recovery is unlikely.
Lin Shiyi was absent-minded for a while, and said with difficulty: "You mean... Xiaobai's left arm may be... useless from now on?"
The little nurse nodded, carefully handed him the medical records in her hand, turned around and ran away without stopping.
Lin Shiyi held the medical record book and stood there blankly, only feeling that his mind was in a mess.
After a long time, he finally walked out towards the ward with heavy steps—however, the target was Qi Bai's room.
The door of the room was ajar, Qi Bai was leaning on the head of the bed and looking out the window, his left arm was tightly bandaged, it was extremely glaring in Lin Shiyi's eyes at this moment.
"noob."
"Eh? Eleven?" Qi Bai turned his head, "Why are you here, don't you want to see Xiao Ran?"
"He's fine, he's probably already asleep, but you, why don't you take a rest?"
Qi Bai looked at him with a smile: "You didn't sleep either."
"I can not sleep."
"Can't sleep and come to me instead?" Qi Bai squinted his eyes, and the light and shadow in his pupils overlapped with meaning, "Eleventh, do you have something to say to me?"
Lin Shiyi was startled, and subconsciously retorted: "No!"
Qi Bai smiled and lowered his head, his soft bangs drooped, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
"Eleven, I'm not a fool. When I was checking my left arm just now, I saw the doctor secretly shook his head at the nurse behind him." When he said this, his voice was unusually calm, "If I guessed right If not, this arm probably won’t be used in the future.”
Lin Shiyi was silent, he would never persuade others, but at this moment, he began to hate his clumsy speech very much.
Even if it is a word of comfort, it is a pity that nothing can be said in the end.
Taking a ten thousand step back, at this time, no matter how you open your mouth, you will be pale.
"eleven."
"...Well, tell me."
"Don't tell Aji about this beforehand."
"You know you can't hide it from him."
Qi Bai shook his head slowly: "How long we can keep it a secret, at least we have to wait until Ah Ji recovers from his injury."
Lin Shiyi responded in a low voice, couldn't help but put his hands on his shoulders, his tone trembling slightly: "Xiaobai, you believe me, there is still hope, this is just a small hospital, and Liansi will be dying soon Here we come..." It became almost incoherent at the end.
"It's okay, Eleven, you don't have to take it too seriously." Qi Bai smiled, looking as relaxed and warm as usual, "Even if my left arm is really useless, I will never give up on myself like this, let alone Besides, I still have unfinished business."
I still have to find out the cause of my parents' death, I still have to settle the grievances with Zhou Shaoting, and I still have to fight side by side with you, so, how can I have the right to be depressed?
If fate is destined to let me have this catastrophe, then I will accept it calmly, but this cannot be a reason for me to admit defeat.
I already had this awareness.
This is my persistence and my belief.
Chu Ji was in a coma for two whole days and two nights. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a bright and tidy room, with a calm Lian Si standing in front of the window.
"...Lian Si? Why are you here?"
"Because I informed Sister Zhong Li to bring someone over here on Eleventh." Lian Si is a girl who looks quiet and quiet, even her voice is extremely gentle, but no one would have thought that such a girl can be both good at medicine and martial arts, " I arrived in the afternoon the day before yesterday, and considering that it was not safe to be in that hospital, I transferred all of you here—this is the real estate that Sister Zhong Li bought in the suburbs of City E, and she said it was in case of emergency.”
"Oh, sister Zhong Li is really getting more and more generous."
"She used to help her master manage business overseas and won a lot of rewards."
Chu Ji smiled bitterly: "Father is so busy with business that he can't even take care of Wuji."
"With Sister Zhong Li here, the master is very relieved." Lian Si replied, "What's more, the four of you are all talents who can act on their own."
Chu Ji lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, with a hint of worry looming on his pale face.
Lian Si waited for a long while but did not see his answer, so he picked up the steaming medicine on the table next to him, and sat beside his bed: "Here, drink the medicine first, and I'll feed you."
"No need, I can come by myself." Chu Ji raised his hand with difficulty, but Lian Si blocked it without hesitation.
"Just came back from the ghost gate, so don't be brave, I don't have any thoughts about you, why are you nervous?" Lian Si glanced at him meaningfully, "Or do you only allow Qi Bai to feed you?"
Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips helplessly: "Lian Si, have you learned from Miss Zhong Li already?"
"I'm not joking with you." Lian Si seemed to hesitate, took a spoonful of traditional Chinese medicine and brought it to his lips, and said in a low voice, "I want you to be mentally prepared, Qi Bai may even drink medicine by himself in the future." It’s difficult, let alone give you medicine.”
A shadow flashed across the bottom of Chu Ji's eyes in an instant, he suddenly clamped Lian Si's wrist tightly, and let the soup pour on the quilt, he just gritted his teeth and asked, "You just said, what's wrong with Xiaobai?"
Lian Si lightly glanced at his unconcealable uneasy expression, and slowly shook his head: "You have changed, Aji, you have never lost your composure for anyone before."
"I'm asking you, what's wrong with Xiaobai?"
"His left arm is disabled." The one-sentence answer was extraordinarily calm, yet extraordinarily cruel.
Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his chest, Chu Ji leaned back heavily on the bed, gasping for breath, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, instantly soaking his haggard face.
Xiaobai's left arm was crippled...yes, after being stabbed like that, with old wounds...how could he be safe?
After all, he still failed to protect him, and after all, he suffered such pain.
I couldn't do it myself.
Lian Si was indifferent by nature, but he couldn't bear to see him like this, so he hurriedly leaned over to support him: "People like us, who step on the tip of a knife every day, don't even own their lives, and it's nothing to lose an arm. what?"
"That's us, but Xiaobai is different." Chu Ji's voice was trembling, "He's not a member of the underworld, he's for me, just for me..." He punched hard on the corner of the table .
"Are you crazy?" Lian Si hugged his shoulders hard to prevent him from hurting himself again, "Listen to me, Qi Bai didn't let Eleven tell you, but I found out when I checked him . I think you have the right to know that something like this happened.”
Chu Ji lowered his head silently, without saying a word.
"Ah Ji, actually Qi Bai is much stronger than you imagined, he even smiled at me at that time."
"Yes...he smiled at you..." Chu Ji was stunned for a long time, then shook his head mockingly, "He is that kind of person, no matter who he is facing, he will always smile..."
A smile is his Qi Bai's symbol, and it is also his never-changing attitude towards the world.
But I know what is hidden behind his smile.
Only I know how much pain he has.
"Liansi, maybe you're right. People like us who walk on the edge of a knife don't even own their own lives. But..." Chu Ji raised his eyes to look at Liansi, his eyes were so profound that he couldn't see the edge Resolutely, "Even so, I want to protect him well, at all costs."
Even if there are thorns all over the front, I will go there before him, with my blood and my life, no matter what.
I don't want him to bear the darkness and cruelty that he could have stayed away from. I just want him to smile at me without any scruples.Such a bright and clear smile is exactly the same as when we first met.
Because he is Qi Bai.
He is my hope and my sun.
Hearing that Chu Ji woke up, Lin Shiyi and Xiao Ran took turns to visit him. Both of them were inquiring about his health, but they tacitly kept silent about Qi Bai's injury.Chu Ji has been leaning on the edge of the bed, quietly listening to the two of them talking non-stop, just drooping his eyes in silence.
Xiao Ran felt something was wrong with Chu Ji, so he couldn't help but nudged Lin Shiyi with his elbow. The latter gave him a blank look, indicating that he could see that the boss was unhappy, but he just had no idea for a while.
The atmosphere was suddenly awkward.
"Um, Ah Ji..."
"Xiao Ran."
"……Eh?"
Chu Ji looked up at him: "Is the injury better?"
"It's okay, it's just a skin injury." Xiao Ran waved his hands nonchalantly, "I'd almost forget if you didn't tell me, our physical fitness must be top-notch."
Lin Shiyi snorted softly: "I don't know who called it like killing a pig when changing the dressing."
"...Eleventh, can you not tear down the stage?"
Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips: "Eleventh, don't let him show off, take him back to the room to rest."
"Oh...then I'll take him back first, you lie down well." Lin Shiyi grabbed Xiao Ran's clothes and was about to pull him out, but when he came to the door, he heard Chu Ji whispering behind him. Call yourself lowly.
"eleven."
"Well, what happened?"
Chu Ji hesitated for a long time, and finally said word by word: "I want to see Xiaobai."
"...Ah, Xiaobai is sleeping upstairs. I'll let him come down to find you later."
"Is he really sleeping?"
Lin Shiyi avoided Chu Ji's eyes in embarrassment: "Damn, of course."
"I want to see him."
"Aji..."
"I want to see him."
Chu Ji became stubborn, which was something none of them could afford.Lin Shiyi and Xiao Ran looked at each other with helplessness written on each other's faces.
The door of the room was suddenly knocked twice, Lin Shiyi thought it was Lian Si who came to deliver the medicine, but when the door opened, he saw Qi Bai standing in front of him.
It was such a coincidence.
Qi Bai glanced inside indiscriminately, smiled and nodded towards the two, indicating that he had heard everything just now.
"You go back first."
Although he was still worried, Lin Shiyi obviously breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then pulled Xiao Ran out of the room.
There was a moment of depressing silence in the house.
Qi Bai turned his head and saw that Chu Ji was staring at him for a moment, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling.
"A Ji, am I that pretty?"
"It really looks better than before."
"Nonsense, I've always been so handsome."
Chu Ji raised his handsome eyebrows and smiled softly. He beckoned, "Come here."
Qi Bai hesitated instinctively, but still nodded and walked over, and sat down next to him.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
"It hurts." The answer was unexpectedly affirmative.
Seeing his serious expression, Qi Bai couldn't help laughing and said, "You actually admit it so simply, don't tell me you're going to act like a baby."
"You think I'll be coquettish?"
"Haha, aren't you injured? During this critical time, I can allow you to activate the long-closed arrogant mode... Oh!" Before he finished speaking, Qi Bai was pulled into Chu Ji's arms forcefully, "... ... Slow down, Ah Ji, you will die of pain if you encounter a knife wound in a while!"
But Chu Ji hugged him even tighter: "Xiaobai, I would rather die from pain, as long as I can..."
Just to get your left arm back to what it used to be.
Chu Ji didn't say any more, but Qi Bai understood.
"Ah Ji, you got it." It wasn't a question, but an affirmation. He should have understood a long time ago that the man in front of him was so smart, how could he be easily kept in the dark.
"You shouldn't be avoiding me."
Qi Bai sighed: "I just haven't figured out how to tell you."
Chu Ji looked away, raised his hand to caress his left arm hanging by the side, his movements were gentle, as if he was touching a fragile treasure carefully.
"Xiao Bai, I'm sorry."
"I don't blame you."
"But I swore, I won't let you..." I won't let you suffer unnecessary harm again.
"I told you, Aji, it's okay, why should you care about these things between us?"
Smiling and whispering, patiently persuaded.
Chu Ji suddenly closed his eyes and turned his head away, he really didn't want Qi Bai to see how weak he was now.
He has assisted his father in managing Wuji for many years, and he has never made a mistake. He was once hailed as "the proud son of heaven" by his seniors. He originally thought that he would never lose.
However, now, he makes mistakes again and again, and even the consequences of his mistakes have to be borne by his beloved.
What the hell is this.
Qi Bai stared at him for a while, and finally sighed quietly.
"A Ji."
Chu Ji remained silent and did not respond, but in the next second, Qi Bai suddenly wrapped his right arm around
Without hesitating for half a second, he quickly put on his clothes and got up, picked up the gun next to his pillow and loaded it.
"Who?"
Before the words were finished, the door was pushed open from the outside, and then a tall and thin figure rushed towards him. He instinctively turned his head to dodge, and then the other party punched the person behind him with a strong blow. the wall.
As soon as the man missed the blow, he jumped away and quickly rolled to the other side of the bed.
Yin Chenxing lifted the quilt, reached out and turned on the bedside lamp, and the room suddenly brightened.He squinted his eyes and looked at the person, his expression suddenly full of surprise.
"Aji, eleven?"
Chu Ji was leaning against the door frame, pointing his gun at Yu Luo, while Yu Luo passed Yin Chenxing with the gun in his hand, and aimed straight at Lin Shiyi beside the bed.
The two sides fell into a stalemate for a while.
"Why are you here?" Yu Luo's voice dropped to freezing point in an instant, "Didn't you come here specially to see me off?"
"We don't have that leisurely mind." Lin Shiyi glared at him, "We just want to bring Chen Xing back."
Chu Ji said coldly: "Chen Xing, come to my side." As he said that, he moved two steps to the side to make room beside him.
Unexpectedly, Yin Chenxing didn't do so, but just lowered his head and muttered.
"Chen Xing? Chen Xing, go over there!" Seeing him like this, Lin Shiyi became a little anxious, "Aren't you brainwashed by Yu Luo? He's a member of the secret society!"
Yin Chenxing sighed: "I don't, and I know who he is."
"Then what are you dawdling about?"
A gloomy light and shadow flashed across Yu Luo's eyes, and he shouted in a low voice: "Lin Shiyi, you are not qualified to make decisions for Chen Xing!"
"Go to your uncle, do you have the qualifications? You haven't made us miserable enough? Chen Xing's leg injury hasn't healed yet!"
Yu Luo snorted coldly, and his fingers slowly moved towards the trigger.
"Yu Luo!" Yin Chenxing leaned over, reached out and held the muzzle of the gun tightly, "Listen to me, I have no intention of leaving."
"Chen Xing." Chu Ji said in a deep voice, "Do you know what you are talking about? You mean, you want to go to City E with him?"
Yu Luo sneered: "Chu Ji, you know really well."
"As long as I want to know, there is nothing I can't find out."
"That is to say, you must snatch Chen Xing away today?"
"Take it away? Chen Xing is from Wuji, he is my Chu Ji's brother!"
Yin Chenxing suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and was meeting Chu Ji's long and beautiful eyes, the latter's eyes overlapped with deep and shallow light and shadow, in addition to concern and worry, there was also firmness that cannot be questioned.
What else can I say?The brothers desperately followed the ship, just to snatch themselves back. This friendship alone is enough to break the body and give it nothing to repay.
However...he still has unfinished business.
How could he just give up at this point, and how could he be so determined to drag everyone into danger together? For some things, it is enough to go alone.
"I'm sorry, Aji." Yin Chenxing responded in a low voice, "I have an agreement with Yu Luo, and I can't break my word."
Lin Shiyi said angrily: "What about us? You don't care?!"
"I'll be back sooner or later."
"You think he'll let you go back?"
Yin Chenxing was speechless.
He really doesn't know if Yu Luo will let go of him in the future, he can only be sure that Yu Luo will not hurt himself for the time being, but this little bit of certainty is so humble that it makes people feel sad.
Isn't it already decided?Why hesitate any longer.
Indecision is not Yin Chenxing's style.
"Aji, take them back, you have to trust me."
You believe me.
Chu Ji's fingers holding the gun were slowly clenched, and he remained sternly silent.
Yu Luo glanced at Yin Chenxing, seemingly helpless, he paused for a while, finally put away his gun, and turned to Chu Ji expressionlessly.
"Take your people and go. This time, just pretend that I didn't see anything, but Chen Xing, I must stay."
Even if Chen Xing has a grudge against me, I will try my best to lock him by my side. This is my obsession, and it is the only decision I don't want to consider the consequences.
No relationship is absolutely sane, unless it's a transaction.
But the reason why I made such a stubborn decision is not the so-called deal, but I love you.
Chen Xing, we both think we understand each other very well, but in fact, I still can't fully understand you, and you also don't understand me well enough.
But it doesn't matter, it's still a long time.
As long as I don't let you go.
However, before Chu Ji could answer, he heard a piercing shout from outside.
"on fire--!!!"
He turned his head in surprise, but saw Hu Luo opposite him also showing an expression of surprise.
A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.
The noise and crying instantly filled the entire cabin.
The door was slammed open, and members of the dark society hurried in.
"Boss, the ship is on fire...huh?" The leader suddenly saw Chu Ji and Lin Shiyi, was startled, and subconsciously wanted to touch the gun at his waist.
"It's okay, these two are my guests." Yu Luo signaled him not to be nervous, "What's going on?"
"The ship suddenly caught fire. I don't know who did it, but two groups of people have already fought on the deck, as if they were trying to rescue the lifeboat."
Yu Luo frowned, and before he could answer, he saw Chu Ji and Lin Shiyi passing by, and disappeared outside the door like the wind.
"Yu Luo." Yin Chenxing quickly put on his clothes and got out of bed, "The arsonist is here for you."
"I know." Yu Luo opened the door, looked at the approaching flames outside, with a stern expression, "The only one who has a reason to do this is Zhou Shaoting."
On the surface, the Dark Society is loyal to Lie Yan, but secretly it has been planning a comeback, and Lie Yan has never really trusted the Dark Society. In the eyes of Lie Yan's owner, the Dark Society is by no means a reliable ally, but a weapon that may explode at any time.
The most important thing is that Yu Luo is too outstanding and too arrogant. It is conceivable how Zhou Shaoting can feel at ease keeping such a dangerous man by his side.
It is naturally the best to take this opportunity to get rid of the thorn in my side.
Even if it takes a whole boat for this, it can be regarded as a trivial matter.
"We have to help Aji." Yin Chenxing stood in front of Yu Luo with calm eyes, "As far as I know, there are only three lifeboats, so..."
So, not everyone has a chance of surviving.
Time is running out.
Yu Luo said in a deep voice: "Everyone follow me, and temporarily assist Wuji's people to seize the lifeboat." After speaking, he tightly grasped Yin Chenxing's fingers, and rushed towards the deck without turning his head.
No matter who the culprit is, he must not be left alive this time.
...Meanwhile, the bow deck.
The passenger doors, who were forced by the fire in the cabin and had nowhere to go back, crowded around the railing, looking at a group of people fighting in the melee not far away in horror. No one dared to step forward. They clearly saw that those people were all carrying gun.
Some passengers couldn't bear the pressure and jumped off the boat one by one. This behavior, which is tantamount to suicide, further ignited the fear of the remaining passengers. The cries echoed over the sea and lingered for a long time.
Xiao Ran, Lin Shiyi and four strong men in black fought with each other. Later, people from the underworld also joined in. For a while, only the shadows of people were confused, and the specific objects could not be seen clearly under the moonlight.
Under such circumstances, bullets are useless, but what is uncomfortable is that the four men in black seem to be the top masters of Lie Yan, and they have not lost the wind in the battle against nearly twenty people.
Zhou Shaoting was really willing to spend all his money.
Holding his gun, Chu Ji was forcing the captain to untie the rope that bound the lifeboat.
"Ah Ji." Qi Bai called him, "Do you want the first officer to try to ask for help?"
"No need."
"what?"
"No need." Chu Ji glanced at the frightened first officer who was hiding in the distance, and said affirmatively, "It's too late to ask for help, today's crew will basically end up in the sea .”
After such a cruel fact was uttered from his mouth, it turned out to be very calm and breezy. Qi Bai was silent for a while, but finally he was speechless.
"Xiaobai, this is the end of the matter, you should know who is behind the scenes, right?"
"Well, but I didn't expect that Shaoting would be so eager to get rid of Hu Luo."
"If he knew you were on board, he might not have made such a decision."
Qi Bai's heart was heavy at first, but he couldn't help laughing when he heard Chu Ji's words: "Ah Ji, don't tell me you're jealous."
Chu Ji stared at the other party's slightly playful crescent eyes, his mind was slightly swaying, and he was about to speak, but suddenly he heard Lin Shiyi roaring at the top of his voice: "Damn it! Xiao Ran!" He suddenly turned his head , Seeing that Xiao Ran's abdomen had been cut by a short knife at some point, his clothes were bloody, and at this moment he was being pressed by one of the men in black to retreat step by step until he reached the railing and there was no way out.
"Xiaobai, lower the lifeboat!" He only had time to say this before he flew up to meet the man in black.
It seems that the strength of the coming people is far beyond their imagination.The physical strength and endurance of these men in black have far exceeded the standards of normal people, and one can tell that they must have undergone unusual training, and they are definitely not thugs in the ordinary sense.
Lie Yan, there are still things they don't know about.
Lin Shiyi was concerned about Xiao Ran's injury, and her moves gradually became disorganized. Suddenly, she was punched hard by the opponent a few times, blood oozing from the corners of her lips.
"Eleventh, take Xiao Ran to Xiaobai's side!" Chu Ji gritted his teeth and resisted the opponent's slap, turned around and dragged the weak Xiao Ran towards Lin Shiyi, "Hurry up and get on the lifeboat!"
The members of the dark society retreated steadily. Some of them were thrown off the ship by the men in black, and some of them were directly knocked down and never got up again.Yin Chenxing had been held tightly in Yu Luo's arms and was not allowed to go. Now seeing that Xiao Ran was injured and the battle was in a critical situation, he finally couldn't restrain himself anymore, and elbowed hard against Yu Luo's lower abdomen.
"Let go of me, I don't want to fight with you!"
The blow was accurate and ruthless, Yu Luo was caught off guard, and he broke free and watched him leave his arms and rush towards the man in black: "...Chen Xing, come back!" Immediately following Yin Chen Xing's footsteps Joined the fray.
The flames behind him lit up half of the sky, and the scene was completely out of control.
Qi Bai finally helped the captain who was almost limp on the ground to put down all the lifeboats, turned his head and shouted: "Come here on Eleven!"
Lin Shiyi arrived in an instant with Xiao Ran on his back. He carefully put Xiao Ran down and said in a low voice, "Xiao Bai, hurry up and take Xiao Ran into the lifeboat. I'll help A Ji."
"What are you going to do, you take Xiao Ran first!" Qi Bai couldn't help but push him up the escalator, "Stop Xiao Ran's bleeding quickly, I'll help A Ji!" Lin Shiyi didn't refuse as he spoke. Seeing the opportunity, he turned around and ran towards Chu Ji without looking back.
Seeing that the lifeboat had been launched, the passengers on the ship had their survival instincts finally aroused. At this moment, they rushed towards the lifeboat one after another, trying their best to squeeze towards the lifeboat.
One of the men in black stepped out of the battle circle temporarily, put his hand on his waist, and fired a shot into the sky without hesitation.Because the gun was removed, the gun was particularly shocking in the noisy environment.
The passengers stopped and turned around in horror.
"Only the lifeboat on the right is usable. You can fight for it at will, and I won't interfere. But..." The man in black's voice was gloomy and hoarse, without any emotion, as if what he was facing at this moment was just a group of insignificant ants , "Whoever dares to move the other two ships will be killed immediately. The gun in my hand does not recognize anyone!"
If you want to survive, you can, but not everyone is qualified.
Under the threat of bullets, all the passengers were scrambling to get on the lifeboat on the far right. Many people were knocked into the water but were still trying to climb up. At this time, Lin Shiyi had already supported Xiao Ran on board. the leftmost one,
Yu Luo turned around, and was suddenly hit by the man in black who was punching him directly in the heart. After barely avoiding it, he still couldn't avoid the shoulder area. He immediately stepped back a few steps, and when he looked up again, his eyebrows were stained with anger.
"Get out of the way!"
The man in black seemed to sneer, he approached him without dodging or avoiding, and purposefully led him step by step to the rear railing.
"Yu Luo!" Yin Chenxing's right leg is not very flexible yet. Seeing that Yu Luo is at a disadvantage, but it is difficult to get out to help, Yin Chenxing can't help feeling anxious, "Be careful behind you!"
Hu Luo moved aside nimbly, and the dagger brushed past his ear, making a piercing sound of wind piercing the air—the blade was even stained with Xiao Ran's blood.
Yin Chenxing pulled out the silver dagger that never left his body, and blocked another short knife that came towards him for Chu Ji: "Aji, take Xiaobai first, and go find Eleven!"
"What about you?"
"I must be with Hulot!"
"Chen Xing, are you crazy?" Chu Ji was about to get angry, "This ship is about to sink!"
Yin Chenxing shook his head: "I can't leave him behind."
...Qi Bai, who had been guarded by Chu Ji all this time, suddenly came to the front like lightning, he turned his head and said in a deep voice: "I really don't have time soon."
Chu Ji frowned, and stretched out his hand to pull him back, but Yu Luo shouted loudly: "Chu Ji, take Chen Xing away!"
"Ah Ji, don't listen to him, you hurry up and go!" Yin Chenxing took a firm look at Chu Ji, turned around and ran towards Yu Luo resolutely. Because of his leg injury, his figure was a little unstable, but this time But it didn't affect the almost crazy speed at all.
While Chu Ji was stunned, the dagger of the man in black approached him.However, at the critical moment, Qi Bai subconsciously used his unhealed left arm to block him, but in the end he couldn't do what he wanted, and was dragged heavily by the blade from his arm, leaving half of his sleeve soaked in bright red.
Chu Ji's eyes were sharp in an instant, and his eyes were as cold as snowflakes.
He has agreed on the person to protect, and he has agreed on the mistakes he will never make again, and he cannot repeat the same mistakes.
"Aji!" The magic soldier descended from the sky, and Lin Shiyi appeared on the water behind him in a lifeboat, "Come down quickly! The boat is going to sink!"
Countless thoughts flashed through Chu Ji's mind in an instant, but without saying a word, he just stretched out his hand and pulled Qi Bai into his arms, and before the latter could react, he slapped Qi Bai's chest neatly. The back of the neck—the strength of this blow was extremely precise, just enough to make the opponent temporarily lose the ability to resist. Chu Ji lifted Qi Bai up by the waist, turned around and threw him directly from the railing.
Everything happens in an instant.
Lin Shiyi stood on the boat and firmly caught the falling Qi Bai.
The flames had already covered the deck, and the raging flames reflected Chu Ji's handsome face, as if there was a bit of a strange feeling.He stood where he was, and through the hazy smoke, he vaguely noticed that the man in black in front of him was slowly retreating.
Then, one of the men in black stretched his hand into his arms and aimed at Hu Luo from afar.
His own gun had fallen into the sea in the previous battle. At the critical moment, Chu Ji tore off the steel button on his chest and threw it as a concealed weapon. He hit the gun handle in the hand of the man in black, and the gun missed. Sparks flew from the railing next to Hulot.
At the same time, the man in black who was closest to Chu Ji turned the handle of the knife suddenly, and the short knife instantly extended by nearly half a meter, and plunged straight into Chu Ji's chest.
Chu Ji trembled violently, and then grabbed the blade with his hands, but the man still didn't give up, but tried again, intending to stab deeper and take his life directly.
The ship shook violently, and the background was the cries of the passengers who seemed to be insane, like the end of the world.
The blade cut through the palm of his hand, and blood trickled down the silver blade wall. Chu Ji heard Qi Bai's heart-piercing cry on the sea.
"Aji—!"
Ah Ji.
If I just died like this, how unwilling I would be.
His eyes were as silent as the night, flashing a sharp and decisive look, Chu Ji suddenly shouted, and cut off the extended long knife from the middle with his left hand, and then grabbed the man in black by the collar without hesitation, The right hand suddenly pulled out the remaining half of the blade in front of the chest, gritted his teeth and inserted it into the opponent's heart until it sank several inches.
The man never expected that he would take such a desperate move, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he slowly fell backwards.
There was a sudden sound of gunfire.
The two men in black who were entangled with Yu Luoyin Chenxing fell to the ground with a flick of their eyebrows. Chu Ji barely raised his head, and found that the other man in black in front of him had also fallen down.
Undoubtedly, the timing and angle of the first two shots were extremely accurate, and they must have come from Lin Shiyi, who has excellent marksmanship, and the last shot...
It's Qi Bai.
This was the first time in Qi Bai's life that he shot someone.
He had put all his eggs in one basket, and either killed the man in black, or watched him kill Chu Ji.
Had no choice but did not expect, really succeeded.
The hull was slowly sinking into the water, and Yu Luo directed the members of the dark society to board the second lifeboat, then picked up Yin Chenxing, and turned around to take a deep look at Chu Ji.
Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips and smiled proudly. He used his last bit of strength to climb over the railing, finally let go of his hand, and fell powerlessly into the icy sea water.
The world seemed to suddenly quiet down.
In the vagueness, it seemed to hear someone's singing again.
Low, distant, as if from a dream.
Qi Bai was in a state of blank mind for a long time, until Lin Shiyi's eager shout pulled him back from the confusion to reality.
"Xiaobai, Xiaobai! Come and help me!"
He turned his head subconsciously, and saw Lin Shiyi, who jumped into the water at some point, was swimming towards the boat with Chu Ji, who was unconscious, and behind Lin Shiyi, the ship had gradually sank to the bottom of the sea with flames.
The other two lifeboats were nowhere to be found. The sea was terribly silent, and the night wind was icy cold, almost chilling the heart.
The blood on the left arm was still bubbling, and it was so soft that he couldn't lift any strength at all. Qi Bai didn't have time to care about his own minor injuries, but tried his best to stretch his good right arm to help Lin Shiyi pull Chu Ji up. lifeboat.
Lin Shiyi supported the edge and turned over, and ran forward without stopping to start the lifeboat, but after a while, the small boat flew like an arrow on the sea.
It was too late for them to go back to City C, and the closest area to here was City E, the most urgent task now was to send Chu Ji to the hospital in City E for treatment.
As for whether it will be exposed... I can't think about it so much.
"Aji...Aji..." Qi Bai hugged Chu Ji tightly in his arms, and called out to him while tearing off the hem of his clothes to stop the bleeding, but Chu Ji kept his eyes closed with a pale face, without any response .
The cloth strip used to stop the bleeding was completely soaked in no time, but the blood from the wound showed no sign of stopping.
The knife wound on Xiao Ran's abdomen was not deep, and Lin Shiyi had already made a simple bandage just now, he reluctantly moved over from the side, and said in a hoarse voice, "Why, the bleeding won't stop?"
Qi Bai probed Chu Ji's weaker and weaker breathing, and even his fingers were trembling for a while. He was stunned for a long time, and suddenly turned his head and shouted at Lin Shiyi: "How long is it? Hurry up!"
Hurry up, or I'm afraid it will be too late.
"...noisy...what's the noise..."
He lowered his head in surprise, and saw that Chu Ji was struggling to open his eyes, and his eyes stayed on his face for a moment.
"A Ji, are you awake?" After a pause, Qi Bai happily grabbed the latter's hand, "How do you feel?"
Chu Ji was unable to speak, but his eyes slowly moved to his left arm.Qi Bai was startled, and subconsciously reached out his hand to block Chu Ji's sight: "Don't move around, we'll be in City E soon."
"Xiao Bai, you..."
"I'm fine." Qi Bai replied firmly, "You should worry about yourself now, be obedient!"
Although the pain from the wound made his lips turn bloodless, Chu Ji still showed a slight smile. His face looked more and more handsome under the moonlight, so gentle that it seemed unreal.
"noob."
"Ah."
Chu Ji moved his lips, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed very lightly, and closed his eyes wearily again.
"Xiaobai, I'm cold."
The coldness caused by the excessive blood loss spread wildly to his limbs, making him feel like he was about to freeze.
Consciousness is fuzzy, and there is always an illusion of nowhere in the trance, which makes him uneasy.Like a ship without support, it is eager to dock, but finds that it cannot find the established harbor.
He is really cold.
Qi Bai took off his coat and covered Chu Ji, then bent down and hugged him even harder.
"Aji, hold on, I'm here."
I am here, I am with you.
A Ji, you must not have imagined how scared I was just now, I was even thinking, if something happened to you, then I would rather go with you than live in the shadow of losing you from now on.
I was almost intimidated by the thought of myself.
You always caught me off guard, but when I really realized it, I couldn't escape you.
Xiao Ran sat quietly at the side, watching Qi Bai hugging Chu Ji with his eyes closed, sighing quietly, then turned his eyes to look at Lin Shiyi who was driving the lifeboat.
Almost instantly, Lin Shiyi also turned around, and the two met each other's eyes, and both saw unspeakable concern and affection in each other's eyes.
The night is like ink, and the mind is slightly cool.
E City, a private hospital.
The doctors here never dreamed that in the dead of night, they would welcome a few evil stars who seemed to have returned from the battlefield, and that tall, thin and handsome man had a gun.
Even though it was impossible for anyone to joke about their own lives at this time, those doctors and nurses almost knelt on the ground and swore that they would never leak their information.
"Listen to me, if anyone tries to call the police, I will immediately set fire to this hospital. In addition, from now until tomorrow night, no one is allowed to step out of here without my permission!" Lin Shiyi remained cold from beginning to end One face, until seeing Chu Ji and the three of them being pushed into the operating room, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhong Li who had returned to C City.
Sister Zhong Li, let Lian Si bring enough people to the Ankang Hospital in District [-] of E City before [-]:[-] pm tomorrow. We urgently need support.
Soon, Zhong Li replied, just one word, okay.
There is always an unspeakable tacit understanding between her and them.
After doing all this, Lin Shiyi was really relieved, and turned around and sat on the seat in the corridor.
Fortunately, the location is remote, and there are no hospitalized patients at all, and I heard that the business is also very light on weekdays. As long as these few medical staff are under control, there should be no risk of exposure for the time being.
He doesn't ask for anything else now, he just hopes that his brothers will be safe and sound.
... the minutes and seconds passed, until the east was white and the dawn was approaching.
Xiao Ran and Qi Bai had already been pushed into the ward one after another, while Chu Ji was still receiving treatment in the operating room because of his serious injuries.Lin Shiyi rubbed her temples trying to wake herself up, then got up, ready to go to see Xiao Ran, but didn't want to be stopped just two steps away.
"Zhang...Mr. Zhang."
He turned his head and saw the little nurse looking at him in fear: "What's the matter?"
"Yes...it's about the injury of the patient named Bai...the doctor asked me to tell you..."
"What?" Lin Shi Yiyin had a bad feeling, and he couldn't help raising his voice, "Is there something wrong with Xiaobai's injury?"
The little nurse was so frightened that he trembled, and whispered in a crying voice: "The doctor said that multiple major nerves in his left arm were damaged, and he had lost a lot of blood, plus... plus there were old injuries that hadn't healed before, so he fully recovered. The possibility is very small."
Full recovery is unlikely.
Lin Shiyi was absent-minded for a while, and said with difficulty: "You mean... Xiaobai's left arm may be... useless from now on?"
The little nurse nodded, carefully handed him the medical records in her hand, turned around and ran away without stopping.
Lin Shiyi held the medical record book and stood there blankly, only feeling that his mind was in a mess.
After a long time, he finally walked out towards the ward with heavy steps—however, the target was Qi Bai's room.
The door of the room was ajar, Qi Bai was leaning on the head of the bed and looking out the window, his left arm was tightly bandaged, it was extremely glaring in Lin Shiyi's eyes at this moment.
"noob."
"Eh? Eleven?" Qi Bai turned his head, "Why are you here, don't you want to see Xiao Ran?"
"He's fine, he's probably already asleep, but you, why don't you take a rest?"
Qi Bai looked at him with a smile: "You didn't sleep either."
"I can not sleep."
"Can't sleep and come to me instead?" Qi Bai squinted his eyes, and the light and shadow in his pupils overlapped with meaning, "Eleventh, do you have something to say to me?"
Lin Shiyi was startled, and subconsciously retorted: "No!"
Qi Bai smiled and lowered his head, his soft bangs drooped, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
"Eleven, I'm not a fool. When I was checking my left arm just now, I saw the doctor secretly shook his head at the nurse behind him." When he said this, his voice was unusually calm, "If I guessed right If not, this arm probably won’t be used in the future.”
Lin Shiyi was silent, he would never persuade others, but at this moment, he began to hate his clumsy speech very much.
Even if it is a word of comfort, it is a pity that nothing can be said in the end.
Taking a ten thousand step back, at this time, no matter how you open your mouth, you will be pale.
"eleven."
"...Well, tell me."
"Don't tell Aji about this beforehand."
"You know you can't hide it from him."
Qi Bai shook his head slowly: "How long we can keep it a secret, at least we have to wait until Ah Ji recovers from his injury."
Lin Shiyi responded in a low voice, couldn't help but put his hands on his shoulders, his tone trembling slightly: "Xiaobai, you believe me, there is still hope, this is just a small hospital, and Liansi will be dying soon Here we come..." It became almost incoherent at the end.
"It's okay, Eleven, you don't have to take it too seriously." Qi Bai smiled, looking as relaxed and warm as usual, "Even if my left arm is really useless, I will never give up on myself like this, let alone Besides, I still have unfinished business."
I still have to find out the cause of my parents' death, I still have to settle the grievances with Zhou Shaoting, and I still have to fight side by side with you, so, how can I have the right to be depressed?
If fate is destined to let me have this catastrophe, then I will accept it calmly, but this cannot be a reason for me to admit defeat.
I already had this awareness.
This is my persistence and my belief.
Chu Ji was in a coma for two whole days and two nights. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a bright and tidy room, with a calm Lian Si standing in front of the window.
"...Lian Si? Why are you here?"
"Because I informed Sister Zhong Li to bring someone over here on Eleventh." Lian Si is a girl who looks quiet and quiet, even her voice is extremely gentle, but no one would have thought that such a girl can be both good at medicine and martial arts, " I arrived in the afternoon the day before yesterday, and considering that it was not safe to be in that hospital, I transferred all of you here—this is the real estate that Sister Zhong Li bought in the suburbs of City E, and she said it was in case of emergency.”
"Oh, sister Zhong Li is really getting more and more generous."
"She used to help her master manage business overseas and won a lot of rewards."
Chu Ji smiled bitterly: "Father is so busy with business that he can't even take care of Wuji."
"With Sister Zhong Li here, the master is very relieved." Lian Si replied, "What's more, the four of you are all talents who can act on their own."
Chu Ji lowered his eyes and remained silent for a long time, with a hint of worry looming on his pale face.
Lian Si waited for a long while but did not see his answer, so he picked up the steaming medicine on the table next to him, and sat beside his bed: "Here, drink the medicine first, and I'll feed you."
"No need, I can come by myself." Chu Ji raised his hand with difficulty, but Lian Si blocked it without hesitation.
"Just came back from the ghost gate, so don't be brave, I don't have any thoughts about you, why are you nervous?" Lian Si glanced at him meaningfully, "Or do you only allow Qi Bai to feed you?"
Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips helplessly: "Lian Si, have you learned from Miss Zhong Li already?"
"I'm not joking with you." Lian Si seemed to hesitate, took a spoonful of traditional Chinese medicine and brought it to his lips, and said in a low voice, "I want you to be mentally prepared, Qi Bai may even drink medicine by himself in the future." It’s difficult, let alone give you medicine.”
A shadow flashed across the bottom of Chu Ji's eyes in an instant, he suddenly clamped Lian Si's wrist tightly, and let the soup pour on the quilt, he just gritted his teeth and asked, "You just said, what's wrong with Xiaobai?"
Lian Si lightly glanced at his unconcealable uneasy expression, and slowly shook his head: "You have changed, Aji, you have never lost your composure for anyone before."
"I'm asking you, what's wrong with Xiaobai?"
"His left arm is disabled." The one-sentence answer was extraordinarily calm, yet extraordinarily cruel.
Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his chest, Chu Ji leaned back heavily on the bed, gasping for breath, cold sweat dripped down his forehead, instantly soaking his haggard face.
Xiaobai's left arm was crippled...yes, after being stabbed like that, with old wounds...how could he be safe?
After all, he still failed to protect him, and after all, he suffered such pain.
I couldn't do it myself.
Lian Si was indifferent by nature, but he couldn't bear to see him like this, so he hurriedly leaned over to support him: "People like us, who step on the tip of a knife every day, don't even own their lives, and it's nothing to lose an arm. what?"
"That's us, but Xiaobai is different." Chu Ji's voice was trembling, "He's not a member of the underworld, he's for me, just for me..." He punched hard on the corner of the table .
"Are you crazy?" Lian Si hugged his shoulders hard to prevent him from hurting himself again, "Listen to me, Qi Bai didn't let Eleven tell you, but I found out when I checked him . I think you have the right to know that something like this happened.”
Chu Ji lowered his head silently, without saying a word.
"Ah Ji, actually Qi Bai is much stronger than you imagined, he even smiled at me at that time."
"Yes...he smiled at you..." Chu Ji was stunned for a long time, then shook his head mockingly, "He is that kind of person, no matter who he is facing, he will always smile..."
A smile is his Qi Bai's symbol, and it is also his never-changing attitude towards the world.
But I know what is hidden behind his smile.
Only I know how much pain he has.
"Liansi, maybe you're right. People like us who walk on the edge of a knife don't even own their own lives. But..." Chu Ji raised his eyes to look at Liansi, his eyes were so profound that he couldn't see the edge Resolutely, "Even so, I want to protect him well, at all costs."
Even if there are thorns all over the front, I will go there before him, with my blood and my life, no matter what.
I don't want him to bear the darkness and cruelty that he could have stayed away from. I just want him to smile at me without any scruples.Such a bright and clear smile is exactly the same as when we first met.
Because he is Qi Bai.
He is my hope and my sun.
Hearing that Chu Ji woke up, Lin Shiyi and Xiao Ran took turns to visit him. Both of them were inquiring about his health, but they tacitly kept silent about Qi Bai's injury.Chu Ji has been leaning on the edge of the bed, quietly listening to the two of them talking non-stop, just drooping his eyes in silence.
Xiao Ran felt something was wrong with Chu Ji, so he couldn't help but nudged Lin Shiyi with his elbow. The latter gave him a blank look, indicating that he could see that the boss was unhappy, but he just had no idea for a while.
The atmosphere was suddenly awkward.
"Um, Ah Ji..."
"Xiao Ran."
"……Eh?"
Chu Ji looked up at him: "Is the injury better?"
"It's okay, it's just a skin injury." Xiao Ran waved his hands nonchalantly, "I'd almost forget if you didn't tell me, our physical fitness must be top-notch."
Lin Shiyi snorted softly: "I don't know who called it like killing a pig when changing the dressing."
"...Eleventh, can you not tear down the stage?"
Chu Ji raised the corners of his lips: "Eleventh, don't let him show off, take him back to the room to rest."
"Oh...then I'll take him back first, you lie down well." Lin Shiyi grabbed Xiao Ran's clothes and was about to pull him out, but when he came to the door, he heard Chu Ji whispering behind him. Call yourself lowly.
"eleven."
"Well, what happened?"
Chu Ji hesitated for a long time, and finally said word by word: "I want to see Xiaobai."
"...Ah, Xiaobai is sleeping upstairs. I'll let him come down to find you later."
"Is he really sleeping?"
Lin Shiyi avoided Chu Ji's eyes in embarrassment: "Damn, of course."
"I want to see him."
"Aji..."
"I want to see him."
Chu Ji became stubborn, which was something none of them could afford.Lin Shiyi and Xiao Ran looked at each other with helplessness written on each other's faces.
The door of the room was suddenly knocked twice, Lin Shiyi thought it was Lian Si who came to deliver the medicine, but when the door opened, he saw Qi Bai standing in front of him.
It was such a coincidence.
Qi Bai glanced inside indiscriminately, smiled and nodded towards the two, indicating that he had heard everything just now.
"You go back first."
Although he was still worried, Lin Shiyi obviously breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted him on the shoulder, then pulled Xiao Ran out of the room.
There was a moment of depressing silence in the house.
Qi Bai turned his head and saw that Chu Ji was staring at him for a moment, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows and smiling.
"A Ji, am I that pretty?"
"It really looks better than before."
"Nonsense, I've always been so handsome."
Chu Ji raised his handsome eyebrows and smiled softly. He beckoned, "Come here."
Qi Bai hesitated instinctively, but still nodded and walked over, and sat down next to him.
"Does the wound still hurt?"
"It hurts." The answer was unexpectedly affirmative.
Seeing his serious expression, Qi Bai couldn't help laughing and said, "You actually admit it so simply, don't tell me you're going to act like a baby."
"You think I'll be coquettish?"
"Haha, aren't you injured? During this critical time, I can allow you to activate the long-closed arrogant mode... Oh!" Before he finished speaking, Qi Bai was pulled into Chu Ji's arms forcefully, "... ... Slow down, Ah Ji, you will die of pain if you encounter a knife wound in a while!"
But Chu Ji hugged him even tighter: "Xiaobai, I would rather die from pain, as long as I can..."
Just to get your left arm back to what it used to be.
Chu Ji didn't say any more, but Qi Bai understood.
"Ah Ji, you got it." It wasn't a question, but an affirmation. He should have understood a long time ago that the man in front of him was so smart, how could he be easily kept in the dark.
"You shouldn't be avoiding me."
Qi Bai sighed: "I just haven't figured out how to tell you."
Chu Ji looked away, raised his hand to caress his left arm hanging by the side, his movements were gentle, as if he was touching a fragile treasure carefully.
"Xiao Bai, I'm sorry."
"I don't blame you."
"But I swore, I won't let you..." I won't let you suffer unnecessary harm again.
"I told you, Aji, it's okay, why should you care about these things between us?"
Smiling and whispering, patiently persuaded.
Chu Ji suddenly closed his eyes and turned his head away, he really didn't want Qi Bai to see how weak he was now.
He has assisted his father in managing Wuji for many years, and he has never made a mistake. He was once hailed as "the proud son of heaven" by his seniors. He originally thought that he would never lose.
However, now, he makes mistakes again and again, and even the consequences of his mistakes have to be borne by his beloved.
What the hell is this.
Qi Bai stared at him for a while, and finally sighed quietly.
"A Ji."
Chu Ji remained silent and did not respond, but in the next second, Qi Bai suddenly wrapped his right arm around
