Chi Jiao looked pitiful as she supported Quan Jue helplessly. “Officer Huo, these people have guns. They want to kill us. I’m so afraid.”
When Huo Chen heard that, his expression instantly changed. “Hurry up and search them for guns. Take them all away.”
“Cough, cough, cough.” On the other end, Quan Jue coughed at the side.
Chi Jiao’s heart instantly jumped into her throat. “Brother, are you injured?”
Immediately after, Chi Jiao realized that his right hand was hanging unnaturally by his side, and his fingertips were stained with blood.
Chi Jiao quickly took off his jacket. Only then did she shockingly discover a deep knife wound on his arm.
The open wound was still bleeding profusely. Quan Jue’s shirt was drenched, and his arm was dyed red.
Chi Jiao felt a lump in her throat as her eyes turned red instantly.
Quan Jue was extremely frantic. He quickly consoled her, “It’s just a small wound. It doesn’t hurt at all.”
“You’re still lying to me.” Chi Jiao sniffed. Worried that he was injured elsewhere, she said, “Hurry up and leave. I’ll accompany you to the hospital.”
When Huo Chen saw that Jiang Ming’s condition wasn’t any better, he frowned and instructed a young police officer. “Xiao Jin, bring the three of them to the hospital to treat their wounds first.”
“Okay.” Xiao Jin nodded and gestured for them to leave. “Please follow me.”
Before leaving, Jiang Ming didn’t forget to knock Senior Lai out. He cooperated by handing the gun to Huo Chen before entering the police car with the other two.
Three hours later, in the hospital ward.
Quan Jue, who was resting in the VIP ward, slowly woke up.
His body moved slightly, and he felt a sharp pain.
“Brother, don’t move around. You have a broken rib, that’s why the doctor operated on you.” Chi Jiao, who had been sitting beside Quan Jue, quickly raised her hand to press against his shoulder and make him lie down when she saw that he had woken up.
Quan Jue lay down obediently and looked at her.
With reddened eyes, Chi Jiao moved a small chair and sat in front of his bed. Her petite appearance looked particularly pitiful.
Quan Jue raised his uninjured hand and patted her head. “Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt at all.”
It would have been better if he hadn’t said that. The moment he did, the tears that Chi Jiao had been holding in for a long time fell. They rolled down her cheeks like pearls with a broken string as she cried sadly.
Quan Jue felt as if Chi Jiao’s tears were smashing into his heart, causing him to be at a loss for what to do. He was frantic. “Jiaojiao, don’t cry. I’m really alright. It’s just a small injury.”
“Is a broken rib a small injury? Why are you so bold? You didn’t even know to dodge when you were being held at gunpoint. What will I do if something happened to you?” Chi Jiao became sad the more she spoke. Her eyes and her nose were red. Sparkling tears kept rolling out of her eyes as she looked extremely pitiful.
Quan Jue felt as if his heart was about to break. All he wanted to do was to quickly appease her. “It’s my fault. I’m sorry. I’ll definitely change next time. I won’t let you worry anymore.”
Chi Jiao blinked, tears glistening on her long eyelashes. “You can’t lie to me, or I’ll never talk to you again.”
Only the heavens knew how afraid she was when Quan Jue was held at gunpoint.
It wasn’t easy for her to have a chance to start all over again. She was unwilling to lose the important people around her once more, especially Quan Jue.
