Under the moonlight, Dan Hanjie stared at her pale face, his eyes tightening.
This was the first time he had seen her cry…
Dan Hanjie’s throat tightened. He had just opened his mouth when a sickly sweet taste surged up in his throat.
Not far away, a beam of light shone over.
Dan Hanjie raised his hand to cover Qin Youxuan’s head, avoiding the light.
His gaze shifted, and he said in a low voice, “Help me take off my jacket and tie it on the wound, be gentle…”
Qin Youxuan forced herself to calm down, clenched her teeth, and with much effort, removed his suit jacket, her hands trembling as she wound it around his wound.
“Dan Hanjie, if you don’t remove the bullet, you’ll die…”
“I won’t die, Read the latest chapters on NovelHub - completely free!”
“What…” Qin Youxuan swallowed, glancing at the turbulent river.
Rocks on the river’s edge were occasionally splashed with large sprays of water.
For someone who couldn’t swim, this was terrifying.
“See those rocks ahead? Try to find a way to hide behind them… cough…” Dan Hanjie coughed lightly, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.
The blood was a deep black…
Dan Hanjie’s eyes darkened. The bullet was laced with poison, no wonder his strength was draining so quickly…
“…I trust you.” Qin Youxuan bit her lip, helping him up, and with difficulty, walked into the river.
They were almost swept into the middle of the river several times, soaked with cold sweat.
They finally managed to hide among the huge rocks.
“There’s blood here. They must be close. Find them!”
“The tracks end here…”
Intermittent voices entered their ears.
Qin Youxuan felt the hairs on her body stand up.
“They will find us soon. Lay me down and hide somewhere. No matter what sounds you hear, do not come out.” Hanjie paused and stared into Qin Youxuan’s pale face.
“Don’t worry, Yao will be here soon. Hide well, you’ll be fine.”
Dan Hanjie didn’t answer, his thin lips curled into a slight smile. Qin Youxuan felt as if she had seen the devil’s smile.
“Dan Hanjie, hide with me.” Qin Youxuan looked at him with anticipation.
If he knew Yao was coming soon, couldn’t they just hide?
“If they can’t find me, they won’t spare you either.”
Qin Youxuan was taken aback, “I won’t leave.”
“If you stay, you’ll only hold me back.” Dan Hanjie’s icy eyes narrowed, his lips turning somewhat black, as he coldly glanced at Qin Youxuan.
The poison was acting fast, he could already feel a noticeable stiffness creeping into his limbs.
Qin Youxuan froze, her gaze falling on the bleeding wound on his abdomen, her cat-like eyes tightening.
If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t be injured…
If he hadn’t come to rescue her, he would have easily evaded the chase on his own, right?
Qin Youxuan’s eyes dimmed.
She bit her lip, silently rose to her feet, scanned the huge rocks, and squeezed herself into a place where she could still see him.
The footsteps outside were getting closer. Silently, Qin Youxuan prayed in her heart.
Hoping that Yao would arrive soon…
Hoping that those people wouldn’t find them…
One step, two steps, three steps…
Every footstep was like a heavyweight on her heart, about to crush it.
Qin Youxuan held her breath, watching Hanjie who had already stood up from the ground and positioned himself against the rock wall, her small hands clenched into fists.
