Xiang Yutang looked at the person appearing in front of her and shouted in disbelief, "Are you crazy! What are you doing here! Get out of here quickly!"
Zhu Zhengchu wanted to get closer to her, but several people showed up in front of him, each holding a long stick.
"Get out of here quickly!" Xiang Yutang shouted excitedly. With Zhu Zhengchu's skills, it would surely be no problem for him to leave this place on his own.
Xia Helan also walked out. "It's really touching. What are you doing now? Putting on a sad drama?"
Zhu Zhengchu stared at Xia Helan. "What on earth do you want?"
Xia Helan sneered. "Teacher Zhu, you should not forget what you had people do to me a year ago, right?"
Zhu Zhengchu of course would not forget. If Xia Helan hadn't angered him again and again back then, he wouldn't have done that.
"Come at me if you have something against me. Let Yutang go."
Xia Helan stepped on Xiang Yutang. "Let her go? You're dreaming. Today I'll make sure both of you die!"
Zhu Zhengchu looked at Xiang Yutang with heartache. "Xia Helan! Think it through. If both of us die today, you won't have an easy time either!"
"At this point, do I still care about whether I'll have an easy time? Zhu Zhengchu, if you hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have resorted to this!"
Zhu Zhengchu clenched his fists tightly. He didn't regret what he had done to Xia Helan, but he regretted that he hadn't protected Xiang Yutang well.
"Zhu Zhengchu, can't you understand human language! Get out of here quickly. We've already broken up. What happens to me has nothing to do with you!"
Xia Helan kicked her. "Don't be like this. He cares about you so much. Why are you still telling him to go?"
"Xia Helan! Don't you dare touch her!" Zhu Zhengchu was heart - broken.
Xia Helan sneered. "Fine then. If I don't touch her, I'll deal with you instead. All of you, beat him up! Zhu Zhengchu, if you dare fight back, it'll be Xiang Yutang who gets beaten."
Xiang Yutang used to think that if such a cheesy plot happened to her, she would surely laugh. But when it really happened, she just felt panicked. "Zhu Zhengchu! Get out of here quickly!"
Zhu Zhengchu stood still. Someone behind him hit him hard on the back with a stick. The force was so great that the stick broke.
Zhu Zhengchu didn't fall, but blood began to ooze from the corner of his mouth.
"Are you satisfied now?" Zhu Zhengchu looked at Xia Helan coldly.
"Far from it." Xia Helan sneered. "Keep going!"
The others showed no mercy either. They used their hands and feet, brutally battering this once high - and - mighty movie star.
I don't know how much time had passed. Zhu Zhengchu seemed to have lost his breath. Xiang Yutang looked at Zhu Zhengchu, covered in blood, in disbelief. It felt as if all the strength in her body had been drained.
Xia Helan saw the resentful look in her eyes and felt even more proud. "You're next."
After saying that, Xia Helan stepped aside. Someone got into the big truck parked in front of Xiang Yutang and started the vehicle. Someone dragged the seemingly lifeless Zhu Zhengchu to Xiang Yutang's side.
"Xiang Yutang, go and die with your Zhu Zhengchu."
Xiang Yutang looked at Zhu Zhengchu beside her. "Zhu Zhengchu! Zhu Zhengchu, wake up. Don't play tricks on me. Wake up quickly!"
The car lights flashed, and the black truck drove towards them. Xiang Yutang closed her eyes, thinking that it was really all over. She and Zhu Zhengchu were really going to die together.
The expected sharp pain didn't come. Instead, she was pushed away by someone. Xiang Yutang opened her eyes. "Zhu Zhengchu!"
Zhu Zhengchu, who had just been lying on the ground, somehow found the strength to push her to one side, but he himself was hit and flown away by the truck.
Xia Helan was still thinking of telling the driver to continue when suddenly he felt a pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a hole in his chest from a bullet.
The other people on the scene were also shot, except for Xiang Yutang, who was still lying on the ground unharmed.
The sound of police sirens rang out. Xiang Yutang felt someone hug her tightly in their arms. She looked up blankly. It was Xiang Zhengyun. Xiang Zhengyun, who had never shown weakness in front of her, was crying badly at the moment. He gently untied the rope on her hand with heartache. "Dad's here. It's okay. It's okay."
Xiang Yutang ached all over, but she still stubbornly stood up and walked towards Zhu Zhengchu.
Not far away, Zhu Yuan and his wife also came. Zheng Wanyin fainted from crying when she saw her son covered in blood. Zhu Yuan's face was also full of grief. The accompanying doctor knelt on the ground and gave Zhu Zhengchu emergency treatment.
Ying Zikui and Zhuo Ziyu also came out. Zhuo Ziyu's face was full of tears. "Tangtang, Tangtang, can you let the doctor check you too?"
Xiang Yutang couldn't hear other sounds. She walked to Zhu Zhengchu in a daze. For some reason, looking at Zhu Zhengchu covered in blood, she suddenly thought of the high - spirited Zhu Zhengchu in the past.
Xiang Yutang smiled for no reason, but tears slid down her eyes.
After a while, Xiang Yutang also fainted, and everyone rushed to the hospital.
When Xiang Yutang woke up again, it was already the next day.
"Where's Zhu Zhengchu?" Xiang Yutang asked the person guarding beside her.
Everyone's faces looked a bit ugly. Zhuo Ziyu's eyes were red and swollen. She said gently, "Tangtang, rest a little longer first."
"Where's Zhu Zhengchu?" Xiang Yutang asked again.
Everyone kept silent. Xiang Yutang pulled out the needle on her hand and was about to get out of bed.
Ying Zikui stopped her. "I'll tell you, but don't get out of bed!"
Xiang Yutang looked at him blankly.
"They've been doing the operation for a whole day. Just now... the doctor issued a critical illness notice. It's very likely that he won't make it."
Xiang Zhengyun didn't say a word beside them. Zhuo Ziyu turned around to wipe her tears.
Xiang Yutang felt as if her body had been hollowed out. She didn't know how she managed it, but in the end, she was supported by others to the operating room door.
"Tangtang, don't be like this, okay?" Zhuo Ziyu was anxious and heart - broken.
Ying Zikui didn't say a word. He just helped support Xiang Yutang.
Xiao Lin was squatting on the ground dejectedly. Zhu Yuan was constantly smoking. Zheng Wanyin wasn't there. She should still be in a coma.
Xiang Zhengyun walked over and patted Zhu Yuan on the shoulder. The two of them didn't say a word. They just smoked together.
When Xiao Lin saw Xiang Yutang coming, he said worriedly, "Sister - in - law..."
Xiang Yutang didn't respond at all.
Xiao Lin wiped his tears and took out a small jewelry box from his pocket.
"Sister - in - law, before Brother Zhu left, he asked me to tell you sorry if I had the chance. He didn't lose his memory. He lied to you just to have more chances with you. But now he can't come back. He hopes you won't feel guilty because of this. Just... just act as if the two of you never knew each other. This is... this is what he prepared for you... He said he wouldn't give it to you if he couldn't come back, but... but..." Xiao Lin couldn't finish his sentence and started crying again.
Xiang Yutang took the ring box and held it tightly in her hand.
