Chapter 139 At stake
Subsequently, Fu Shiyue's body trembled from the unbearable pain, a fine layer of sweat appeared on his forehead and neck, and his face was as pale as paper.
Despite clenching his teeth and trying to endure the excruciating pain, he ultimately could not withstand it, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he eventually lost consciousness.
At the same time, Ye Xingran was sleeping when she suddenly sat up as if disturbed by a terrible dream.
Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her throat, and a layer of sweat broke out on her forehead, sliding down her cheeks.
An ominous premonition welled up in Ye Xingran's heart, and she unconsciously covered her chest with her hand, as if something was stirring there.
Her breathing became rapid, and blurry images kept flashing through her mind, but she couldn't remember what they were.
Yunmeng—
The hall was dimly lit, with candlelight casting a faint glow.
Lu Fei crossed his arms, a cold smile playing on his lips, looking at the unconscious Fu Shiyue as if admiring prey.
"Wake him up."
Lu Fei coldly gave the order. His men immediately stepped forward and poured a bucket of cold water over his head.
Fu Shiyue opened his eyes.
He struggled to get up, only to find his hands and feet firmly bound.
After seeing Lu Fei clearly in front of him, and then looking at the surrounding environment...
Fu Shiyue looked around and found that the environment here was completely different from the previous abandoned factory.
This is clearly Lu Fei's lair, a place that is extremely well hidden.
The abandoned factory was merely a smokescreen set up by Lu Fei to lure him into this meticulously crafted trap.
A hint of anger and wariness flashed in Fu Shiyue's eyes.
“Lu Fei, I’ve brought you everything you wanted,” Fu Shiyue’s voice was hoarse, but he still had an undeniable authority. “I only need one thing: the antidote.”
Lu Fei stood up and slowly walked to Fu Shiyue, looking down at him condescendingly. "You used to oppose me at every turn, but now that you're in my hands, you have no choice."
Fu Shiyue's face was ashen, his eyes cold as ice. He snorted coldly, his voice revealing obvious dissatisfaction and anger: "What exactly do you want in order to give me the antidote!"
Lu Fei raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a mocking smile. His laughter echoed in the empty base, sounding particularly jarring.
He looked at Fu Shiyue without any attempt to hide it, as if admiring an interesting toy. "It's really unexpected that someone like President Fu has a weakness now."
Fu Shiyue's face grew increasingly gloomy. He clenched his teeth, clearly extremely displeased with Lu Fei's words.
And that weakness was Ye Xingran.
Fu Shiyue's eyes instantly turned icy, as if covered with frost. "Lu Fei, you'd better not touch her."
Lu Fei laughed even more wildly, "President Fu, as long as you shoot yourself twice and survive, I'll give you the antidote and Ye Xingran."
He stared at Lu Fei and said, slowly and deliberately, "Okay, I promise you."
He ordered his men to hand the gun to Fu Shiyue.
Then, he aimed at his own chest. "Bang!" The first shot rang out, and Fu Shiyue's body trembled violently as blood stained his shirt.
He gritted his teeth and pulled the trigger again. "Bang!" Another shot rang out. His body swayed precariously, but he managed to stay upright.
His body trembled slightly as he knelt on the ground, as if he might collapse at any moment.
However, in his mind, Ye Xingran's stunningly beautiful face appeared before him...
He gritted his teeth and used all his strength to support himself.
I must hold on, I must hold on until the moment I can go back and see her.
His bony hands pressed tightly against the wound, trying to stop the bleeding.
However, blood began to seep out from between his fingers like a burst dam, dripping onto the ground and forming a shocking pool of blood.
"Mr. Fu, you really have guts," the person on the other end said with a sneer, his tone revealing a hint of mockery and disdain.
Fu Shiyue slowly raised his gaze and met the other person's eyes.
His gaze was firm and cold, showing no sign of backing down.
"Now, give me the antidote." His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Lu Fei did not immediately hand him the antidote, but suddenly let go of his hand and threw the antidote on the ground.
He looked down at Fu Shiyue with a defiant expression, "If you want the antidote, go get it yourself."
Fu Shiyue looked at the antidote on the ground, his anger burning fiercely, but for Ye Xingran's sake, he suppressed his anger and pain.
He moved his body with difficulty, each movement sending piercing pains through his wounds, his back soaked with sweat. Yet his eyes remained resolute as he crawled step by step toward the antidote. A long trail of blood stretched behind him.
Finally, his hand touched the antidote. Just as he obtained the antidote, Lu Fei spoke again, "I can't guarantee that this antidote is real. It all depends on whether you dare to give it to her after risking your life for it."
"you......."
Fu Shiyue glared angrily. He knew Lu Fei was treacherous, but for Ye Xingran's sake, he had no other choice.
He forced back the antidote despite the excruciating pain, his voice low and threatening: "Lu Fei, you'd better not try anything funny, or I won't let you off easy." Lu Fei laughed loudly, "President Fu, I can't guarantee this antidote is real. If you don't dare give it to her, then you'll have wasted your two lives."
Fu Shiyue ignored Lu Fei's provocation. He struggled to his feet and staggered toward the door.
Every step he took felt like walking on a knife's edge, yet his mind was filled only with Ye Xingran. Meanwhile, Ye Xingran sat restlessly at home, her ominous premonition growing stronger with each passing moment.
...
Suddenly, with a creak, the door was slowly pushed open.
Ye Xingran had been expecting Fu Shiyue, but when her gaze fell on the doorway, she found that it was not him standing there, but a completely unfamiliar man.
Ye Xingran's heart tightened, and a strange sense of vigilance welled up inside her.
She stared intently at the man, her gaze sharp and undisguised, making no attempt to hide her wariness.
"Who are you?" Ye Xingran's voice carried a hint of tension and doubt. She leaned back slightly, keeping a certain distance from the man.
The man was Shen Xian'an, and he slowly walked up to Ye Xingran.
His steps were light yet steady, as if each step had been carefully considered.
When he stood in front of Ye Xingran, his gaze fell on her face. He stared at the woman before him, and a sense of amazement welled up in his heart.
Ye Xingran's face was stunningly beautiful, with soft features that accentuated her lovely features. Although she had been without makeup for the past few days due to illness, she still looked fresh and beautiful, with fair skin that glowed with a subtle luster.
Shen Xian'an then realized that Fu Shiyue's concerns about her were not unfounded.
The woman before me truly possesses an irresistible charm.
With a smile on his face and a firm look in his eyes, he slowly said, "I am Shen Xian'an, and I am A Yue's good brother."
After saying that, he slowly took out a pill from his pocket. The pill was wrapped in a delicate little box. He opened the box, took out the pill, and showed it to the other person.
“This is what A-Yue asked me to give you,” he explained. “He has some important things to take care of at the company these days and can’t find the time, so he specifically instructed me to make sure this medicine is delivered to you.”
His tone was calm and gentle, which made him seem very reliable.
He then added, "This pill is specially prepared for you; it can neutralize the poison in your body."
Ye Xingran looked at the pill, her heart filled with hesitation.
She recalled Fu Shiyue's past actions and the strong sense of foreboding she had just felt, wondering if she could take the medicine.
Shen Xian'an noticed her concerns and said, "Miss Ye, A Yue went to great lengths to obtain this medicine, searching for renowned doctors all over the world. You can take it without worry."
Ye Xingran bit her lip, but finally accepted the medicine.
She picked up the water beside her and drank it.
"Miss Ye, I'm just here to help out. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"it is good."
After delivering the medicine to her, Shen Xian'an immediately went to the hospital.
Fu Family Private High-End Hospital
"President Shen, it was just a hair's breadth away. Luckily you delivered it in time, otherwise President Fu would have lost his life."
The doctor, wearing a mask, stood in front of Shen Xian'an.
Shen Xian'an frowned and asked anxiously, "How is he now?"
The doctor sighed. "The situation is not good. Mr. Fu was shot and lost too much blood. He is currently in shock. We need to be careful."
Shen Xian'an rubbed his temples. "We must save him!"
At that moment, Shen Xian'an's phone vibrated; it was Ye Xingran calling.
He took a deep breath, answered the phone, and tried to keep his tone calm: "Ms. Ye, A-Yue... he still has some things to take care of at his company, so he might not be able to come back to be with you until later." Ye Xingran's voice was filled with worry, "I feel much better after taking the medicine. When will he be able to come back?"
Shen Xian'an was silent for a moment, then said, "He will be back soon, so don't worry too much. Get some rest."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Xian'an walked to the door of the ward, looked through the window at Fu Shiyue, who was lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, and murmured, "If we hadn't cooperated so well and I had found out about you in time, you might really be dead now. A-Yue, you risked your life for Ye Xingran. I hope she can understand your feelings."
After that, he stayed in the ward.
