Chapter 601: Chapter 600: (3 more)

Jin Yu caught sight of the danger and violently kicked Jin Ruiyang away.

It was at that moment that a single bullet turned into a succession of them.

The sound of "pop pop pop" mixed with Jin Ruiyang’s heart-wrenching roar as Jin Yu fell backwards.

Xu Niannian suddenly sat up in her dream, breathing heavily with sweat drenching her forehead, Jin Yu, Jin Yu...

Xu Niannian covered her face, fumbling to turn on the light.

It was a dream, it had to be a dream.

Xu Niannian, still unsettled, got out of bed to check on Xiao Bao, relieved that his temperature had returned to normal and there was no relapse.

Xu Niannian let out a sigh of relief.

But as she did so, her heart tightened again, Jin Yu...

She twisted her fingers anxiously. It was a dream, right? It should be a dream.

How could anything happen to Jin Yu? He always looked so indomitable and invincible, who could possibly hurt him, right?

Xu Niannian sat on the bed, anything but calm, her hands covering her face, trembling because of that dream.

She dreamt that Jin Yu died.

Died without warning.

In the dream, when she saw Jin Yu, he was already lying in a pool of blood, and no matter how much she screamed and cried, Jin Yu did not respond.

In the dream, the last place Jin Yu was taken to was the morgue at the hospital, declared beyond saving.

Xu Niannian covered her face and laughed foolishly.

How could it be possible? She must be thinking too much about Jin Yu and after taking care of Xiao Bao all night, her restless mind had conjured this dream.

Yes, she must be overthinking things.

That’s what Xu Niannian thought, but her hands covering her face continued to tremble.

However, the devastating news came the very next morning.

Xu Niannian got up in the morning, holding Xiao Bao as she went downstairs, and Nanny Zhao carried Da Bao.

Before reaching the stairs, she heard Jin Nanxi’s voice, "What, Jin Yu had an accident!"

Jin Nanxi was on the phone, and at the moment Xu Niannian heard that message, her mind flashed back to her dream from the previous night, making her head spin. Had she not been holding Xiao Bao, Xu Niannian might have collapsed on the spot.

"Young Aunt, what happened to Jin Yu?" she asked anxiously, holding Xiao Bao tight as she approached.

Jin Nanxi had just hung up the phone, saw Xu Niannian’s pale face, and regretted speaking so loud.

Jin Nanxi also had an awful expression, the news she’d just heard was enough to make her break down.

Seeing Xu Niannian like this, Jin Nanxi didn’t even dare to tell her.

"Young Aunt, tell me, what exactly happened to Jin Yu, where is he?"

Xu Niannian tried to make her voice sound steadier, yet when she spoke, it trembled.

Da Bao, held by Nanny Zhao, instinctively looked at Xiao Bao, who was nestled in Xu Niannian’s embrace.

"Niannian, Jin Yu, he..." Jin Nanxi couldn’t finish her sentence before tears began to fall.

Xu Niannian took two steps back, unable to control herself, and tightened her hold on Xiao Bao.

"Young Aunt, speak," she enunciated each word, her grip on Xiao Bao tightening incessantly.

"Jin Yu... he’s been injured," Jin Nanxi said, trying to make it sound less serious.

Yet her tense expression gave her away.

The men of the Jin family were all in this line of work; minor and major injuries were normal. If it weren’t serious, Jin Nanxi wouldn’t be so panicked.

"Young Aunt, tell me how serious Jin Yu’s injuries are," Xu Niannian asked, seemingly calm.

Jin Nanxi knew that withholding the information would only make Xu Niannian more worried. Now that Xu Niannian knew, Jin Nanxi couldn’t keep deceiving her.

Her lips trembling, Jin Nanxi said, "Ruiyang mentioned that Jin Yu was hit by eight bullets, with three in vital areas. He’s still undergoing emergency treatment."

Three vital areas, huh...

Upon hearing about the eight bullets, Xu Niannian’s eyes instantly watered, but she tilted her head back, not letting the tears fall. She wouldn’t cry; Jin Yu was going to be okay.

He was just injured.

"Young Aunt, which hospital is he in? Take me there," Xu Niannian said with a composed look, her normally soft and gentle voice carrying a raspiness.

She had to try several times to harden her throat before she could slowly speak these words.

So far, only Xu Niannian, Jin Nanxi, and Nanny Zhao knew about the incident.

Before heading to the hospital, Xu Niannian entrusted Xiao Bao and Da Bao to Nanny Zhao, and instructed her not to tell Elder Master Jin.

To avoid worrying the elderly man because of his old age.

When Xu Niannian and Jin Nanxi arrived at the hospital, there were four or five people standing outside the operating room, including a woman.

Jin Ruiyang and Ye Shaoting were among them.

All four or five people had red-rimmed eyes focused on the operating room door, and only looked their way when they heard their arrival.

"Sister-in-law!"

When Jin Ruiyang saw Xu Niannian, tears cascaded down his face, which he clumsily wiped away.

After which he hung his head in silence, leaning back against the wall and covering his lips with his hand. It was a long while before he looked up again.

His eyes were red-rimmed with tears, "Sister-in-law, I’m sorry."

If it weren’t for him, Jin Yu wouldn’t have been injured; it was his miscalculation that led them into the enemy’s trap.

And it was in trying to save him that Jin Yu got hurt.

Jin Ruiyang could barely bring himself to imagine the severity of those injuries.

Xu Niannian pressed her lips tightly and approached the operating room door, her gaze fixed on the flashing red light.

"He’s going to be okay," she said softly, as if Jin Yu’s life and death didn’t concern her at all.

However, only Xu Niannian knew how hard she was trying to prevent herself from breaking down at that moment.
