Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Seriously Injured (1 more update)

Ye Xiangtian was very close to Xu Niannian. When he heard footsteps in the corridor, he turned his head to look back immediately, not at all on guard against her.

Yet, to his surprise, Xu Niannian suddenly snatched his wooden gun. Xu Niannian herself hadn’t expected it to be so easy to take it away.

At the critical moment, Xu Niannian didn’t even think. She had already made a swift decision, and the wooden gun in her hand was immediately pressed against the back of Ye Xiangtian’s head.

It was precisely then that Jin Yu finally rushed up from the corridor, panting heavily. The concealed Nuo Heng also sprang into action.

"Don’t move!"

Xu Niannian shouted loudly. "Nuo Heng, if you dare take another step forward, I’ll kill Ye Tian."

Nuo Heng came to a halt. Because Ye Xiangtian’s body had almost completely covered Xu Niannian, from where Nuo Heng stood, he could only see Ye Xiangtian and was unaware of what Xu Niannian had done to him.

Hearing her threat, Nuo Heng’s gaze shot over, icy cold. At this time, he was still a distance away from Jin Yu.

And Jin Yu, thanks to Xu Niannian’s reminder, realized there was someone behind the door.

"Jin Yu..."

Upon seeing him, Xu Niannian nearly cried. The clothes Jin Yu wore inside were still the hospital gown.

Xu Niannian saw blood seeping through the fabric on his shoulder and chest.

Jin Yu hadn’t expected to see such a scene as soon as he arrived.

His wife, holding a wooden gun to Ye Xiangtian’s head?

Was this turning the tables?

Xu Niannian didn’t know how to use a wooden gun; she was just bluffing at the moment, trying to ensure that Jin Yu wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

But Ye Tian suddenly laughed, lifting his head as if to match his mood. The sky, which had just been clear, was now covered with dark clouds.

There was even the sound of thunder.

This day was certainly unpredictable. One moment it snowed, the next there was sunshine breaking through, and now the sky was covered with dark clouds again, truly baffling.

He laughed, "You say that yearning for the light means becoming the light, but even you want to push me into the abyss."

Xu Niannian pursed her lips. "I’m just trying to protect the people I want to protect."

If he hadn’t captured her, trying to use her to threaten Jin Yu, she wouldn’t have resorted to such a tactic.

Jin Yu knew Xu Niannian’s capabilities. Seizing the moment Nuo Heng was startled, he quickly moved towards her.

Seeing Jin Yu approach, Xu Niannian unconsciously tightened her grip on the wooden gun.

Just as Jin Yu almost reached her, Xu Niannian felt Ye Xiangtian move, his speed incredulously fast. Xu Niannian didn’t have time to think and, while loudly warning Jin Yu to dodge, her hand already squeezed the finger guard.

But her speed was no match for Ye Xiangtian’s.

In a tug of war, the wooden gun in Xu Niannian’s hand swiftly ended up in Ye Xiangtian’s possession, and Xu Niannian was once again held by her neck.

And Ye Xiangtian, without any hesitation, fired the wooden gun at Jin Yu.

Ye Xiangtian was too quick, and Jin Yu, not only injured but also distracted by concern for Xu Niannian, didn’t think to confront Ye Xiangtian when he moved. Instead, he tried to pull Xu Niannian back to safety.

Seeing Jin Yu charge straight toward the barrel of the wooden gun, Xu Niannian’s eyes widened in horror. "Don’t..."

Driven by instinct, Xu Niannian mustered all her strength to break free from Ye Xiangtian’s grip and threw herself at Jin Yu with a forceful leap.

"Bang!"

A bloom of blood. Xu Niannian’s body slightly trembled.

Jin Yu’s eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Xu Niannian, his voice trembling, "Niannian..."

This sudden turn of events had taken everyone by surprise, including Ye Shaoting and Jin Ruiyang, who had just come over the hill behind the hospital.

They had just infiltrated the area and hadn’t expected Xu Niannian to...

For a fleeting moment, Ye Xiangtian’s gaze changed; turbulent undercurrents surged through his light-colored eyes, and the hand holding the wooden gun shook at that moment.

"No..."

He hadn’t meant to kill her, even though she had disappointed him.

He never intended to kill her.

How precise was Ye Xiangtian’s aim with the wooden gun, seeing the blood spray from Xu Niannian’s back at that spot, and considering the distance, the firepower of the bullet...

There was no doubt Xu Niannian would die.

The wooden gun slipped from his hand, and he stared blankly at Xu Niannian. Nuo Heng, seeing this turn of events, tried to seize Jin Yu directly.

Jin Ruiyang and Ye Shaoting immediately surrounded Nuo Heng, and the three fiercely fought together.

Meanwhile, none of the three on this side had the heart to pay attention to the scuffle occurring on the other side.

Ye Xiangtian stood still as a statue behind Xu Niannian.

While Xu Niannian was held in Jin Yu’s embrace.

Her body slowly slid downward.

Frozen, Jin Yu forgot to catch Xu Niannian.

Until her figure slowly collapsed to the ground, hit and unable to even cry out for Jin Yu.

She just fell to the ground.

"Niannian..."

In the moment she fell, Jin Yu seemed to snap back to reality, scrambling to his knees to embrace Xu Niannian.

Just then, the sky thundered loudly, and a downpour suddenly drenched everyone on the rooftop.

The rain came abruptly and furiously.

The rain washed over Xu Niannian as Jin Yu frantically shielded her in his arms, stuttering several times before he could speak, "Niannian... I’ll take you to the hospital."

Jin Yu’s voice was filled with sobs, his grip so tight that the wound on his shoulder began to bleed again.

So did the one on his chest.
