Chapter 312: Chapter 312 Saving People

"Pah!" He spat out a mouthful of blood foam that had somehow gotten into his mouth. The two men looked at Xu Ke with intense vigilance and a surging killing intent. No matter what, they had to kill Xu Ke here today. Such a terrifying opponent must not be given any room to grow, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The two exchanged glances, having made a decision in their hearts.

The duo who previously fought separately suddenly started to cooperate. Xu Ke’s eyes showed a hint of interest. Due to a momentary distraction, a nearly twenty-centimeter wound appeared on Xu Ke’s arm. Silvery-red beads of blood seeped from the wound and quickly streaked down his arm.

Xu Ke extended a small part of his tongue, lightly brushing over the wound, licking away the crimson blood beads. The metallic sweet taste instantly flooded his taste buds, making Xu Ke’s gaze even more dangerous.

"It’s impressive you managed to injure me, but I’m very angry, and you will have to pay for this." Xu Ke’s voice turned deep, sounding like a hellish demon in their ears, bringing a chill that made their expressions grave.

Xu Ke twirled the dagger in his hand, "What a pity, I still prefer a scalpel over a dagger, but this will be enough to deal with you." Xu Ke said in a slightly regretful tone, looking at the dagger in his hand.

Then Xu Ke switched from a defensive, reactive fighting style to a proactive offense, transforming into someone else entirely during his assault. He moved with the grace of a startled swan and the agility of a dragon, weaving between the two men.

A gentle breeze carrying the scent of flowers blew by, and Xu Ke stopped his movements, standing quietly between the two men.

"You!" The man standing on Xu Ke’s left turned his head, looking at Xu Ke with astonished eyes. In the next second, a red line appeared on his neck, and bright red blood gushed out like a dam’s floodgate had been opened. With two thuds, the two men fell to the ground one after the other.

Soon, the lush green grass was soaked in blood. Xu Ke sheathed the dagger.

On the other side, unlike Xu Ke, whose every move was flawless, these two seemed to be testing their willpower and mindset. Their pistols wavered as they pointed at each other, arms extended straight without trembling, and neither blinking.

At this crucial moment, Xu Ke’s battle ended, and the sound of two heavy objects hitting the ground seemed to declare something. The man they called big brother’s hand trembled slightly in a moment of panic, blinking somewhat suddenly. However, he was quick to regain his composure, though it seemed these struggles had become futile.

The man watched as blood continuously spurted from his chest. His usually hard expression showed a moment of daze. Just as he was about to shoot the middle-aged man while he still had a shred of consciousness, a silver gleam flashed past his wrist, rendering his hand limp by his side, the gun he held fell to the ground.

The man, filled with resentment, slid down to his knees, eyes wide open as he gazed at the middle-aged man in the distance, as if unwilling to die in peace.

Xu Ke picked up the gun from the ground, "Not bad, I’ll gladly accept it." After wiping the blood from the dagger on the man’s body, Xu Ke said calmly.

Even after securing the gun at his waist, the middle-aged man’s stance did not change. Xu Ke raised an eyebrow slightly and walked over to him, extending a finger to poke the arm he was holding up, "It’s over now."

The man, who had been standing rigidly, crumpled like paper mache towards Xu Ke as soon as Xu Ke poked him. Fortunately, Xu Ke was quick to avoid letting the man fall completely to the ground, thus avoiding getting covered in dirt.

"Wake up, wake up." Xu Ke slapped the middle-aged man’s face, but he did not respond, though the hand covering his wound fell away, exposing the severely bloody wound to the air and Xu Ke’s view.

"What a damn big trouble." Xu Ke said, frowning at the bleeding wound and the increasingly pale lips of the man.

"Luckily, this is a hospital, otherwise not even the gods could save you in this state." Xu Ke murmured as he wrapped his arm around the man’s body.

Xu Ke took the unnamed middle-aged man into the operating room and paid for his hospital stay before attending to his own injuries in a restroom, and then went to find Lin Mengyao.

"Yaoyao, it’s about time, we should head home." Xu Ke smiled gently, his clothes spotless, looking as if he hadn’t just been through a life-and-death fight.

"Alright then, Sister Zhou, we’ll head off first. We’ll come by tomorrow to see you and Xiaojie." Lin Mengyao patted Sister Zhou’s hand, relieved to see her mood had improved.

"No need to come every day. Since you are in America, you should take the chance to explore. I’ve heard there are many nice places, don’t spend all your time running to the hospital for us." Sister Zhou said with a loving smile.

"We know. We’ll visit another day then." Xu Ke noticed the hidden guilt beneath Sister Zhou’s eyes and gently pulled Lin Mengyao along as he agreed.

Seeing Xu Ke agree not to visit every day, Sister Zhou’s guilt lessened, and her loving smile grew. She happily saw Xu Ke and Lin Mengyao out of the ward, wanting to escort them out of the hospital but was stopped by Xu Ke.

"If you walk us out, Xiaojie will be alone in the ward, and it’s not as safe here as it is back home. Leaving her alone isn’t secure." Xu Ke stopped her with these words.

"You’re right, then I won’t see you out. Enjoy yourselves in America, and take this vacation to make a little one. It’s best not to delay; the madam isn’t getting younger, and it would be risky to have a child later. Moreover, it’s harder to get back in shape." Sister Zhou gave sincere advice while looking at Lin Mengyao and Xu Ke.

Xu Ke, as a man, rarely—no, never paid attention to these things. Hearing such words for the first time from Sister Zhou left him a bit stunned. Once he regained his composure, a serious expression appeared on his face.

"That’s an oversight on my part. We’ll consider what you said." Xu Ke replied softly yet solemnly, glancing at the woman whose cheeks had turned rosy from Sister Zhou’s words.

"Alright, take care and be safe on your way." Seeing her words taken seriously, Sister Zhou’s joyous smile broadened, wrinkles smoothing out.
