Leng Chuanjin tightly held the girl in his arms. Looking at the group of people kneeling on the ground under the restraint of the police, his eyes were chillingly cold.
"Regardless of who instigated you, I will find out."
"All of you, along with those behind you, won't get away with it."
There was no rage or annoyance in his tone. It sounded more like a casual inquiry, "What's the weather like today?"
However, except for Xia Sanghuan, everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.
This included the police he had brought.
Without further words, he carried the girl in his arms and led the way out of the door. Before leaving, he casually left a sentence.
"Take them all away."
"I'll make sure they spend the rest of their lives in prison."
Then he got into the car without looking back.
However, the man who seemed like a cold - blooded and invincible being in front of everything crumbled the moment he got in the car.
Yun Ye looked at the young master in the rear - view mirror, who wouldn't let go of Miss Fu. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He opened his mouth but then closed it. Silently, he started the car and drove towards the hospital at top speed.
Leng Chuanjin remained silent all the way, burying his head so low that his face couldn't be seen.
But the silent atmosphere at this moment was even more oppressive. Yun Ye, who was driving in the front, even felt out of breath.
However, seeing the relatively calm attitude of the young master, he thought there should be no major problem.
Just when everyone thought so, Leng Chuanjin was actually on the verge of a breakdown.
The hand holding Xia Sanghuan was trembling slightly, but he managed to suppress it so that it wasn't too obvious.
If someone were sitting next to him at this moment, they would see his tightly furrowed brows and red - rimmed eyes with just a glance.
The small western - style building was in the suburbs, far from the city - center hospital.
He forced himself to calm down for a while, then reached for the bottled water in the trunk.
The girl in his arms frowned slightly, looking restless.
He didn't know what was in the potion she had inhaled, but from the current situation, it didn't seem to be life - threatening.
However, there was no guarantee that the effect of the potion wouldn't intensify as it stayed in her body. He couldn't take that risk, so he had to resort to the first - aid measures for poisoned people he had accidentally read about in a book.
He didn't know if it would work, but it was better than just sitting there doing nothing.
Thinking so, he opened the bottle cap and carefully fed the water to the girl's lips.
Although his movements were cautious enough, he had never taken care of anyone like this before.
Moreover, they were in a car. No matter how carefully Yun Ye drove, the road was bound to be bumpy.
He stubbornly fed the water to Xia Sanghuan bit by bit. When the girl couldn't swallow and the water trickled out of the corner of her mouth, he didn't mind at all. He simply wiped it off with his hand and sleeve, then continued to feed her stubbornly.
At this moment, he wasn't just hoping that this method would work; he was desperately craving for hope.
Yun Ye, who was sitting in the front, was anxious. Seeing his eager and dejected look, he really wanted to say to him, "Stop feeding, Miss Xia won't wake up so easily. The most important thing is to get her to the hospital quickly!"
But when he saw the young master look up with a face full of helplessness and confusion, just like a child who had accidentally broken his favorite toy.
The words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. He just couldn't bear to say them.
It turned out that the young master's calmness was all an act.
How long had it been since he last saw the young master in such a state?
The last time he saw him so helpless was when the second young master of the Leng family was first diagnosed with Treeman Syndrome.
The car drove forward in silence. The atmosphere inside was so heavy that it seemed to have solidified.
Finally, after Leng Chuanjin's persistent efforts, the girl in his arms finally choked and then slowly woke up.
Xia Sanghuan opened her eyes. Everything in front of her was blurry, and she couldn't focus at all.
Even her senses were dull, as if she was enclosed in a transparent film.
It must be the effect of the inhaled drug.
Thinking so, she suddenly heard a familiar voice calling her again and again.
"... Huan, Huanhuan, Xia Sanghuan!"
The voice was blurry but powerful.
It took her a while to realize that someone was calling her. She squinted hard, trying to see the person in front of her.
Because her hearing was dull, she still couldn't tell whose voice it was.
She tentatively reached out her hand and touched the person's face.
It was a bit cold, but warmer than her ice - cold hands.
Moving her hand down, she felt the distinct jawline and the man's Adam's apple.
Wait, Adam's apple?
Her dull mind suddenly flashed with an idea. She quickly withdrew her hand.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say "sorry", but found that she could only utter a few simple syllables.
It was so embarrassing. She simply closed her mouth and made a gesture to apologize.
She didn't know if the other person understood, but after doing all this, she felt as if all her strength had left her body, and she became weak all over.
Although she didn't know who was holding her, she wasn't tied up, and she had seen her second brother before she passed out.
So she should have been rescued by now.
Well, probably.
Thinking so, she simply closed her eyes and went back to sleep.
Looking at Xia Sanghuan who had closed her eyes again, Leng Chuanjin couldn't help but sigh.
This little girl was really bold.
He hesitated for a moment and tried to wake her up again.
Yun Ye in the front reminded him, "Young master, it's better not to disturb Miss Xia. She's been poisoned and needs rest..."
Under the cold gaze of the young master of the Leng family, his voice got softer and softer until he finally closed his mouth.
"What are you looking back for instead of watching the road?"
"Aren't you afraid of a car accident?"
Facing the young master's successive questions, Yun Ye resignedly turned his head and looked straight ahead.
Not to mention turning back, even when he needed to look at the rear - view mirror, he had to be extremely careful.
After warning the irrelevant person, he looked at the girl in his arms. He didn't know whether he should continue holding her or not.
Before, he could use the excuse that she was poisoned to hold her. But now that she was awake, it would be inappropriate to keep holding her.
However, judging from her reaction just now, it seemed that being held by him wasn't a big deal.
Had she gotten used to being held by him?
Just as he was lost in thought, the car hit a bump, almost knocking Xia Sanghuan out of his arms.
He quickly reached out and tightly held her, shooting a warning look at Yun Ye.
Yun Ye, who was driving, couldn't help but complain. This road hadn't been repaired for a long time. It was full of potholes, and it was hard not to bump with the urgency to get to the hospital.
After three big bumps, Leng Chuanjin simply resigned himself to fate. He tightly held the girl in his arms, afraid that she would be jolted out by the useless driver in front.
