When they reached the rooftop, they saw a helicopter parked there.
“Huo Zhen, we’re here.” Mo Yan shook Huo Zhen’s body excitedly, but the only response she got was a dead silence.
“Huo Zhen…”
Mo Yan panicked. She looked worriedly at Huo Zhen, who had already lost consciousness, and sped up.
The footsteps behind them were getting closer and closer. The bad guys had caught up!
“Come here quickly!” Huo Yu opened the hatch of the helicopter and called for them to hurry over.
Mo Yan supported Huo Zhen’s body and struggled forward against the wind generated by the helicopter. She handed Huo Zhen to Huo Yu first before she boarded the helicopter.
They had just sat down when the men rushed to the rooftop. They also wanted to get close to the helicopter, but Huo Yu threw a pistol to Mo Yan.
“I’ll leave them to you. I’ll fly the helicopter. Don’t let them get close.”
“But, I don’t know how…”
“We can only rely on you now.” Huo Yu stuffed the gun into Mo Yan’s hand and glanced back at the still-unconscious Huo Zhen.
“You don’t know this nor that. I really don’t know what my brother likes about you.”
As she spoke, she was ready to take the gun back.
“I… I can try.”
Mo Yan’s voice was soft and delicate, but her grip on the gun was firm. She looked at Huo Yu with a determined expression.
Her gaze was steady.
“You said it yourself.” Huo Yu returned to the driver’s seat and looked at Mo Yan again.
She was rather interesting.
Mo Yan’s hands were trembling. This was the first time she had held a gun. She had never even seen it in real life before.
“Bang!”
Mo Yan fired. Although she missed, it was enough to shock the man in front of her. They stopped and looked at each other, not daring to move forward.
Mo Yan fired two more shots. Taking advantage of this action, Huo Yu took the helicopter up and left quickly.
Mo Yan sank weakly to the ground, gasping for air. She was ultimately still alive.
However, she did not celebrate for too long before she reacted and quickly crawled to Huo Zhen’s side. His wound was still bleeding, and it did not look optimistic.
“The medical kit behind me; you can simply bandage it first. I have already arranged for the best doctor to receive him. As soon as we get off the helicopter, he can receive the best treatment.”
“Okay, okay.”
Mo Yan nodded repeatedly and quickly bandaged Huo Zhen’s wound. It was probably because her actions had affected the wound that Huo Zhen let out a low howl and struggled to open his eyes.
“Where are we?”
He frowned and asked with concern.
“We have already boarded Huo Yu’s helicopter and are about to leave H City. It’s great that you’re alright!”
Mo Yan could no longer hold back her tears. She hugged Huo Zhen as she sobbed. This was the only time that she could let her tears flow freely.
“Stop crying. It���s so noisy.” Huo Yu, who was flying the plane, could not bear to hear any more.
The good impression that she had had towards Mo Yan had disappeared once more.
“Don’t yell at your sister-in-law like that. Be more polite to her.” Although Huo Zhen was injured and his voice sounded weak, it still carried a firm resoluteness.
“You only know to bully me. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have come over.”
Huo Yu sniffed aggrievedly and fiercely glared at Huo Zhen.
Although she was still giving her the cold shoulder, her attitude was much better than before. It could be considered that she had acknowledged Mo Yan as her sister-in-law.
Huo Zhen leaned closer to Mo Yan. Although he still appeared weak, he was in much better spirits. Mo Yan let him lean on her and looked at Huo Yu worriedly.
She didn’t know how long more it would take for them to land.
“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine now,” Huo Zhen comforted her gently. “I should apologize to you too. I should have told you about my identity a long time ago.”
Mo Yan was stunned. She didn’t expect Huo Zhen to be able to guess her innermost thoughts and know that she actually took this to heart.
“This way, you wouldn’t have been put at risk.”
“What do you mean she won’t be at risk? This time, it was clearly you who took the risk. You clearly knew that you would be pursued after entering H City, yet you still came without hesitation.”
Huo Yu couldn’t help but interrupt.
Mo Yan bit her lip, looking even more embarrassed and uneasy. She didn’t know where to put her hands. “I’m sorry, I really didn’t expect to be caught by them. I thought the charity gala was just Mo Lian with her bad intentions.”
If it had just been Mo Lian, she would have been able to deal with it easily, but she didn’t expect there to be an even bigger conspiracy.
“I don’t blame you, and you saved me, so we’re even.” Huo Zhen had no intention of blaming Mo Yan. He even gently patted her forehead and comforted her.
