Si Hongxi glanced at Qin Manman lying under the bed, his face full of confusion.
Only then did Wan Ruo suddenly remember Qin Manman. She quickly got up to check on her condition.
After all, she had died in order to save Qin Manman's life. She didn't want to come back to life only to find that the person she wanted to save was dead. Wouldn't that mean her death had been in vain?
At this moment, Qin Manman was barely breathing and on the verge of death. After a night of torture, her whole body was burning hot, and she was muttering incoherently.
"Bad! She's burning up. Hurry and find a doctor to take a look at her! Saving her life is the most important thing!" Wan Ruo said worriedly.
"Okay, I'll order someone to go and fetch a doctor right away!" Si Hongxi said and was about to run out.
But Yun Jiu stopped him. "My lord, you stay here. Let me go!"
Si Hongxi nodded.
No matter what, saving Qin Manman's life was the top priority. What could be more important than a person's life? She wasn't a heinous criminal after all.
At this moment, Wan Ruo's gaze fell on Chi Yan lying beside them. She was a bit confused.
Why was this guy still here? Could it be that he was dead too?
Bai Chen looked at Chi Yan beside him, his eyes cold. He taunted, "Hey! If you don't get up, I'll crush you to death!"
Oh? This guy was really brutal! Si Hongxi looked panicked when he heard Bai Chen's words.
Even Wan Ruo gasped and stared at Bai Chen in disbelief with wide eyes.
Hearing this, Chi Yan slowly opened his eyes, half - squinting them. He said helplessly, "You're really ungrateful! Heartless guy!"
"Humph! Ungrateful? What kind of kindness?" Bai Chen asked coldly.
At this moment, Chi Yan slowly sat up. His cold eyes stared at Wan Ruo in front of him. "It was I who saved her. Otherwise, she would have been dead long ago!"
What? Could it be that the red - haired killing devil was him?
"You saved her? That's really a joke! If you had saved her in time, would she have had to go to the underworld? Worthless!" Bai Chen sneered.
"Alas! You're really unappreciative. I'll just consider it my own wishful thinking. I was just being nice! What a letdown!"
Saying that, Chi Yan stood up, patted his buttocks, and was about to leave. Before leaving, he didn't forget to take a look at Wan Ruo.
That look could give someone nightmares for several nights!
Wan Ruo stared at Chi Yan in shock, a shiver running down her back.
Chi Yan's lips curled slightly upwards. He shouted to Bai Chen, "I'm leaving!"
Seeing Chi Yan's departing back, Wan Ruo felt a little more at ease. This guy's aura was no less than Bai Chen's. Then she turned her gaze to Bai Chen, thinking that they were really birds of a feather.
Bai Chen noticed the strange look in Wan Ruo's eyes when she looked at him, so he frowned and stared at her.
When Wan Ruo saw Bai Chen looking at her, she quickly averted her frightened gaze and looked at Si Hongxi nervously.
At this moment, Si Hongxi understood Wan Ruo's pleading look. He immediately found a topic to ease the awkward situation.
"Well, Shopkeeper Bai and Miss Ruo Ruo, Miss Manman will be in your care for the time being. She's too weak to be moved now. She'll recuperate here for the time being. When her injuries are better, I'll take her away."
Wan Ruo stared at Si Hongxi and nodded with a smile. "Okay, no problem!"
"Although I'm very curious about what happened to you, you also know about the downfall of the Prime Minister's Mansion. I have important matters to attend to, so I won't bother you anymore. You've just escaped death. Have a good rest. I'll come back to learn the details of what happened after I've taken care of my business."
After Si Hongxi said that, he was about to leave.
Wan Ruo watched Si Hongxi about to leave and thought, Hey, don't go!
Si Hongxi seemed to understand her longing look for him to stay, but he sighed and shook his head helplessly. Then he turned around and left.
At this moment, Wan Ruo frowned tightly. She didn't dare to turn around. She could feel a chill running down her back.
Bai Chen stared at Wan Ruo with piercing eyes.
Wan Ruo stretched and sighed, "Ah, it's so good to be alive! Hehe..."
When she turned her head and saw Bai Chen's eyes, sure enough, his gloomy face was looking at her.
It seemed to be saying, Don't you have anything to say to me after escaping death?
I'm just...
Wan Ruo seemed to know what he meant, but his kindness to her was probably because of the singer. After surviving the disaster, she didn't want to live in... someone else's shadow.
Her eyes dropped. She didn't know what to say. Suddenly, Bai Chen stepped forward and hugged Wan Ruo tightly!
I'm just... so afraid of losing you!
At this moment, Wan Ruo was embraced by Bai Chen. She could clearly feel Bai Chen's heartbeat and the warmth of his body!
This feeling was so wonderful!
Thank you, Bai Chen...
Just then, Yun Jiu came in with a doctor.
The two of them were stunned when they saw the scene in front of them and stood at the door.
Seeing this, Wan Ruo quickly tried to push Bai Chen away, but Bai Chen didn't care about others' gazes. He just wanted to hug her at this moment. He just couldn't bear to let go of this feeling of getting her back.
Seeing this, Yun Jiu thought that saving the patient was more important. He said awkwardly to the doctor beside him, "Well, Doctor, come with me. This way, please!"
"Hey! Okay!"
Yun Jiu led the doctor around Bai Chen and Wan Ruo deliberately, keeping a long distance.
Wan Ruo thought this was the most embarrassing situation ever! She pushed Bai Chen away forcefully!
"You..." Can't you stop? Wan Ruo frowned and looked at Bai Chen with disgust.
Bai Chen instantly got angry. He stared at the doctor with cold eyes, looking really annoyed.
The doctor broke out in a cold sweat! He quickly lowered his head and hunched his body, following closely behind Yun Jiu.
Yun Jiu brought the doctor to Qin Manman's side.
The doctor checked her injuries briefly and said, "This young lady's injuries are quite serious. It's not good for her to lie on the ground. Let's put her on the bed first?"
That made sense! Seeing this, Wan Ruo quickly stepped forward to help.
At this moment, Bai Chen stared at Qin Manman coldly and said in a low voice, "All of you get out of the way! I'll do it!"
Indeed, among these three people, two were women and one was an old man. Their strength combined was still not as good as Bai Chen's. It was more suitable for him to do it.
The three of them stepped aside. Bai Chen walked up to Qin Manman, looking down at her coldly.
Oh no. Why did it feel like something bad was going to happen?
At this moment, Wan Ruo felt that this scene was so familiar when she saw Bai Chen's stance. Before she could stop him...
She saw Bai Chen put his foot under Qin Manman's waist and then kicked forcefully. Qin Manman flew onto the bed with a whoosh!
This action stunned everyone!
Wan Ruo: "..."
She immediately covered her head with her hand. This really had happened before! She should have known that he would never take the initiative to carry another woman. He really had a bad intention!
At this moment, Bai Chen seemed to have vented his frustration. What an annoying thing!
Qin Manman, who was already on the verge of death, couldn't bear such treatment!
At this moment, Wan Ruo stared at Bai Chen with a devil - like look in her eyes, thinking that she was still a patient! He really had no compassion at all.
But Bai Chen acted as if nothing had happened. Why was she looking at him as if she wanted to eat him?
What's the big deal? She won't die!
It was evening now.
Si Hongxi came to the cell where Prime Minister Wei was being held.
In the dim cell, the gentle moonlight shone through the prison window on Prime Minister Wei.
At this moment, he was wearing prison clothes. He had lost his former glory, and his face was full of vicissitudes.
Tap tap tap!
Prime Minister Wei heard the approaching footsteps and looked up briefly.
When he saw who it was, he couldn't help but snort.
