This sniper rifle was shot by Li Chen’s subordinate!
But that’s all they could do!
Gazing at Andy fleeing away, Li Chen’s expression was icy cold. Although he wanted to kill Andy right then and end it all permanently, his current condition wasn’t much better than Andy’s.
The raging energy within his body surged everywhere, and after taking the Righteousness Pill earlier, an additional force of energy appeared out of nowhere. The two energies took Li Chen’s body as a battlefield and started colliding and consuming each other fiercely.
Li Chen’s head buzzed, and he felt his eyelids growing heavier, almost as if harboring the idea of falling into deep sleep.
In a hazy state, Li Chen heard someone from the Palace of the Nether King calling out to him.
"Protect the people close to me, prevent Andy from attacking again...," Li Chen, struggling to keep his spirits up, managed to utter only that phrase before passing out.
Several people from the Palace responded and protected Li Chen in the middle. Previously, they had fought with Andy and were no match for him, all being seriously injured. Therefore, during the conflict between Li Chen and Andy, they couldn’t lend a hand. It was only while pursuing Andy that they, concerned for Li Chen’s safety, had followed closely behind. This happened to coincide with Li Chen fainting.
When Li Chen woke up again, it was already three days later.
"Hmmm...", Li Chen felt a headache, almost reflexively wanting to rub his head.
"Brother Cheen, you’re awake...",
Suddenly, a joyful voice sounded. It was Wang Qianqian stepping forward and grasping Li Chen’s arm with a concerned look.
After a while, Li Chen regained consciousness, and only then did he have a clear focus in his eyes.
"Qianqian... What is this?", Li Chen knitted his brows, looking around. Only then did he remember that he was actually in his own bedroom!
Heh heh... It appears that the battle with Andy did indeed leave him quite injured. Even his mind felt unclear now.
"Brother Cheen, it’s good that you’re okay! I was really worried about you when you were unconscious! Woo woo...," Wang Qianqian, seeing Li Chen recovering, suddenly appeared teary like a pear flower bathed in rain.
Lin Yi had just left; hence, Wang Qianqian was here afterwards.
Now seeing Li Chen recovering, Wang Qianqian wept with joy.
"Silly girl! How could Brother Cheen be in trouble? Look, I’m fine," Li Chen rubbed Wang Qianqian’s head, his face full of tenderness.
Previously, when he and Andy were fighting, he was seriously injured, but the two women desperately blocked for him. Li Chen was extremely moved in his heart, secretly resolving that he would never let anyone hurt them in this lifetime!
Li Chen maintained a serious expression, allowing Wang Qianqian to resist. Just having recovered from serious injuries, Li Chen lacked strength in his body.
"Cough! Cough cough..."
When Wang Qianqian’s soft punches landed on his chest, Li Chen immediately coughed lightly.
"Ah! Brother Cheen, are you okay? It’s all my fault, all my fault...," Wang Qianqian was horrified, thinking she had accidentally hurt Li Chen again while struggling, intensifying his injury and immediately started blaming herself.
"Cough! Qianqian, it’s okay, don’t move, just lie still on me , it makes me feel a bit better...," Li Chen said weakly.
"Mm-hmm!", Wang Qianqian nodded, her voice carrying a hint of tears.
This fool... Seeing Wang Qianqian worried about his injury, stubbornly lying on his chest without daring to move, Li Chen felt both irritated and amused.
"Hmm?", Wang Qianqian looked up at Li Chen, obviously upset.
About our hometown, they..."
Suddenly, a phone ring sounded, instantly breaking the atmosphere in the room.
Li Chen couldn’t help but roll his eyes inwardly, cursing their luck. Every time it was a crucial moment, something unexpected would happen!
Wang Qianqian blushed, pushed Li Chen aside, and said apologetically, "Brother Cheen, wait a moment, I’ll just take this call!"
Hearing this, Li Chen’s expression brightened.
"What? Mom, don’t panic, speak slowly, I’m listening..."
On the side, Wang Qianqian answered the call, and her expression suddenly changed after a few words.
"What’s going on?", Li Chen asked with concern, stepping forward to hold Wang Qianqian’s hand.
"Brother Cheen, my dad’s been hit by a car! He’s undergoing emergency treatment at the hospital! I have to go see him...," Wang Qianqian was so distressed that tears started to flow.
"Yes! I’ll go with you..."
"No! Brother Cheen, your injuries haven’t healed, you can’t come with me, you need to rest at home! Ah, but who will take care of you if I go! I can’t rest easy knowing no one’s here to tend to you! It’s all my fault, it’s all because of me...," Wang Qianqian, frantic and fumbling.
"Don’t say that! I’m alright. If worst comes to worst, after you leave, I’ll call Xiaoxiao to come take care of me... Don’t worry, go check on your father!," Li Chen embraced Wang Qianqian softly, reassuring her.
Although he wanted to accompany Wang Qianqian, he was also aware that his current condition was very bad and he simply couldn’t leave casually; otherwise, his injuries would worsen a great deal!
"Mm-hmm! Brother Cheen, then I’m leaving now!," Wang Qianqian said reluctantly as she said goodbye...
