Staking Your Life!

Buzz, buzz~

Buzz, buzz~

The phone kept vibrating.

Tang Xiao, who had been standing silently at the door of the emergency room, was abruptly brought back to reality.

Ignoring the injury on the back of her right hand, she took out her phone and answered it with a solemn expression.

“Xiao, you finally answered the phone!”

As soon as the call connected, Tang Long asked anxiously,

“Jie, what’s his condition now?

The whole nation saw it and it shocked many people; I’m nearly frantic with worry!”

Tang Xiao said with a cold tone,

“He’s been taken to the hospital!

The situation…

it’s not very serious!”

At that moment,

Tang Xiao almost relayed the doctor’s words verbatim.

But then she thought of Wu Jie, and how he had taught her to conduct herself in day-to-day interactions, how to be a person.

Far water cannot quench near fire!

Even if she told her father the truth, what would it change?

After all, they were separated by tens of thousands of kilometers.

Even if medical experts were dispatched from China with the utmost urgency, the flight alone would take over ten hours!

So, at that moment, Tang Xiao, suppressing her heartache, chose to share the good news and not the bad.

Sure enough!

Tang Long breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that it’s not serious!

Ah, we were so worried!”

“Jie’s sudden illness has sparked all kinds of rumors abroad, and back home everyone is really concerned about him!”

“Also, miss, your parents have already arrived at Tianyuan Haoting.

Right now they’re accompanying Yu Hui, looking at Haizhu’s renovations!”

“They’re still unaware of the situation.

I’ll go to them now, and as soon as Jie wakes up, he must give me a call!”

Tang Xiao bit her lip.

How could she know when Wu Jie would wake up!

But…

she had no choice but to agree at the moment.

“Alright!

I’ve got it; that’ll be all for now!”

After hanging up, Tang Xiao clenched her phone, her teeth gritted as tears fought to escape.

Suddenly!

From the end of the corridor came the uniform sound of footsteps.

An officer hurried over with soldiers carrying live ammunition, and they stopped ten meters from the emergency room.

Atten-hut, stand at ease, about-face!

The military bearing and equipment all seemed so familiar to Tang Xiao.

“President Tang, I have been ordered to stand guard here.

We will do our utmost to ensure your protection!”

The officer spoke to Tang Xiao in a somewhat awkward but enthusiastic manner.

“Thank you!

Thank you all!”

Tang Xiao stood up and returned a standard military salute.

The officer smiled faintly and was about to turn and take his post when he noticed Tang Xiao’s hand bleeding.

“President Tang, you’re injured!”

“It’s nothing!

Just a scratch!”

The officer didn’t bother with niceties, immediately barking out orders.

Soon, a soldier fetched a nurse who examined Tang Xiao, confirming no bones were hurt, and quickly disinfected and bandaged the wound.

Looking at her bandaged hand, feeling the tightness,

Tang Xiao suddenly thought of how she had been saved from the battlefield, her life hanging by a thread.

She had been in surgery more than once, more than once wrapped in such bandages.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps the protection of her late mother and comrades in arms…

Tang Xiao had survived.

Although she bore old wounds, although she had to retire from service, maybe it was fate!

She had never expected to encounter Wu Jie, that rascal.

Thinking back on that bizarre car accident, Tang Xiao still thought she had been foolish.

With Wu Jie’s extraordinary skills, how could he have failed to notice?

He had let her crash into him on purpose; he wanted to meet her using this method akin to a staged accident.

Thinking about that day, she felt a bit overwhelmed, which had led to being stolen a kiss.

The more she thought about it, the more she realized Wu Jie was simply terrible.

But was he really that bad?

Tang Xiao recalled many past events.

Remembering the prank on Wang Kun, his mischievous expression…

Recalling the accidental kiss during the wedding photo shoot, his triumphant look…

Thinking about how he healed her old wounds, allowing her to be free of ailments and reborn…

Thinking about the times she had fallen asleep in the car but woke up in a comfortable bed…

Remembering his meticulous care, cooking soup and meals, always letting her eat first, while he took the leftovers…

…

Bits and pieces of memories.

Like frames of a flashback, they replayed vividly in her mind.

Although he always seemed to be conniving to take advantage, and sometimes he was quite domineering and selfish…

Wasn’t it all for her?

Love had started unexpectedly, yet had grown so deep!

Tang Xiao, lost in her memories, had already let tears run down her cheeks.

The nurse silently offered tissue paper, patted Tang Xiao’s shoulder in consolation, and then left.

Wiping away the tears, Tang Xiao bit her lip stubbornly and turned her gaze toward the emergency room.

She didn’t want to cry anymore!

Crying wouldn’t solve anything; it only made her more panicked.

She needed to collect herself, calm her emotions!

She had to be strong; otherwise, if that bad guy suddenly woke up,

To find her crying like this, with an injured hand, how sad and angry would he be?

This weekend, she was to step into the wedding hall with him, to receive everyone’s blessings.

So, she couldn’t cry!

She had to trust the hospital’s medical skills, trust her husband’s abilities!

He himself was skilled in medicine; it couldn’t be anything serious!

It certainly wouldn’t be!

Love had only recently begun; Tang Xiao didn’t believe that her happiness would leave her in a hurry.

They hadn’t yet walked hand in hand after dinner!

They hadn’t sat side by side in a cinema, watching a romantic movie!

She hadn’t yet received roses or Valentine gifts from him; they hadn’t truly embraced in sleep…

There were so many things they hadn’t done yet!

The future was promising; she had to believe in herself!

Tang Xiao bit her red lips, leaned against the wall, and stared intently at the emergency room door.

Behind her,

There was a commotion.

Many people had arrived.

There were media reporters, warm-hearted compatriots, and colleagues from the group…

Everyone had been discussing heatedly, but at the officer’s reprimand, they instantly fell silent, and all was quiet.

Tang Xiao gazed affectionately as if trying to see through the door, to the loved one being resuscitated inside.

She had never imagined that missing someone could feel so strangely.

Longing to see him, yet unable to do so.

Her mind was filled with all sorts of memories and yearnings.

No wonder people often say that a woman in love will have a decline in IQ.

Tang Xiao used to think it was a joke.

Now, it seems there is some truth to it.

After all, when one’s thoughts are occupied with longing and anticipation, is there any mental capacity left to think about other things?

At this moment.

Tang Xiao enjoyed this rare tranquility, full of longing and anticipation for the door to open and the doctor to come out with the good news that the patient had regained consciousness.

But…

Waiting felt so interminable!

…

Inside the emergency room.

Doctors from multiple specialties were trying to find a solution.

All possible tests had been done, with no major issues found.

But the problem was…

Why wouldn’t he wake up?

Taking into account the patient’s recent experiences, they considered the possibility of overwork and excessive excitement.

So they supplemented Wu Jie with a large amount of nutrients, which could be called a small miracle, as the chaotic bodily data began to improve slightly.

With the situation unclear, the doctors could only deduce the illness and rule out possible diseases one by one.

And at this very moment.

Actually…

Wu Jie had been fully conscious all along.

But his consciousness seemed unable to control his body, as if unable to wake from a dream.

Completely aware, yet still in a dreamlike state, as if experiencing sleep paralysis.

But he was not panicking, for he had the system.

The miraculous winning shot today, according to the system’s alarm, was burning life itself!

Even though Wu Jie had ten minutes of x-ray vision use time…

Even though Wu Jie had over three hundred million energy points to squander…

But!

The last time Wu Jie used the x-ray vision on Xu Feng’s watchband, the system had alerted him.

The greater the distance, the more complex the composition of the object being x-rayed, the higher the damage.

The harm from x-ray vision is significant, because the eyes must perceive images from many dimensions, and the brain must process too much information.

Why do some people have trypophobia?

Feeling creeped out at the sight of densely packed things?

The underlying reason is actually the subconscious working of the brain.

And that time he x-rayed Xu Feng’s watchband, Wu Jie had already had a taste of it.

Just ten seconds of close-range x-ray vision, and that was only looking at a watchband.

He experienced a sudden vision blackout and could no longer see clearly.

Dizziness and headache ensued!

And today…

Today on the stage, after the bids from the four companies were submitted, Wu Jie had been using the x-ray vision non-stop.

Not only was it from a further distance, but the duration was also longer.

The most important thing was…

After seeing the other three companies’ prices, he exerted his brain to quickly calculate to ensure a 100 percent chance of winning the bid.

And then, using energy points to exchange for a tiny bit of ink, he ‘wrote’ the number 66.6 on the bid paper where only his name was signed, from a distance.

After doing so, Wu Jie could hardly see anymore.

He stumbled towards Thomson and the other man, seeing them as if he were groping in the dark.

Enduring the overwhelming dizziness and vertigo.

When he turned around, Wu Jie gave a forced smile to prevent Tang Xiao from worrying.

Actually…

By then, he could no longer see anything and just wanted to collapse and get some good sleep.

Luckily!

At that time, the President took a long time to read the bids, which allowed Wu Jie to stand still with a straight face, resting for quite a while.

And this time the system didn’t fail Wu Jie; it even helped him to hang on as long as possible.

Allowing him to see clearly, hear properly, and move.

It helped accelerate the digestion in the stomach, absorbing a large amount of nutrition for bodily consumption.

And in the system’s store, it exchanged some items to be directly supplemented into the body.

But such perseverance couldn’t last for long.

Thus, when Wu Jie was thrown up into the air time after time.

His body was fine, but his brain could no longer endure, and so he passed out.

Just like an engine running at high load, giving it more fuel, more coolant, is not as good as letting it rest.

And it’s even more so for humans; after overexertion, people tend to feel even sleepier after eating and drinking to their fill.

Wu Jie managed to hold on until the celebration cheers before he fell into a coma; he already had extraordinary willpower.

Otherwise, fainting on stage during the photo session would have been even worse.

In short!

There’s no such thing as a miraculous winning shot!

It was nothing more than Wu Jie desperately hanging on for dear life!

But to see Tang Xiao so happy like a child.

To see her relieved and blissfully happy smile afterward.

Wu Jie felt it was all worthwhile.

Of course!

Luckily, these doctors were cautious.

They didn’t recklessly operate or inject him, didn’t inject all sorts of random drugs.

Instead, they gave IV drips, infusing glucose, saline, etc.

After amply resting his brain, Wu Jie finally slowly regained consciousness and body sensation.

But he was still too tired, so he decided to just relax completely and sleep it off.

Once he relaxed, that was really something.

…

Bang!

The emergency room door suddenly opened.

Tang Xiao immediately stepped forward with a tense expression.

Before she could even ask a question, the doctor pointed to the inside of the emergency room.

“I’ve never heard such an astonishing snoring sound before; can you sleep at night with him by your side?”

“What he needs now is a hotel’s big bed, not our hospital’s sickbed!”

“You better take him away quickly; if he goes to the ward like this, he’ll disturb the other patients’ rest!”

Tang Xiao, in her astonishment, immediately burst into tears of joy.

She couldn’t hold back any longer, rushing inside…
