Chapter 324: 326. Escape from Danger (Chapter 46 Update)

"Andre!" Jin Enxi’s voice suddenly sounded in my ears.

Shen Qinglan’s hopeless eyes suddenly burst with a surprising light. She turned her head and through the rain curtain, she saw several people running toward her. She suddenly felt like crying.

Shen Qinglan grabbed Eden’s clothes. "Eden, quickly save him."

Eden looked towards Fu Hengyi with a grave expression. Even without a careful examination, he realized the severity of the situation, but it was raining, and there was simply no way to provide aid.

"I just saw that there seems to be a cave nearby," Cissily suddenly spoke up. Eden stepped forward, took over the pressure on Fu Hengyi’s wound from Shen Qinglan, and together with Andre, they supported Fu Hengyi to the cave Cissily mentioned. Unfortunately for them, the cave was already occupied.

"Andre, I’ll take care of it," said Jin Enxi coldly, looking at the black panther in front of her with her Q already prepared. Shen Qinglan did not speak, which was tantamount to consent. It wasn’t being cruel—if anything that stood in the way of saving Fu Hengyi were to be considered her enemy, she had never been soft on her enemies.

But perhaps the black panther knew better than to provoke the group; after locking eyes with Shen Qinglan, it left the area on its own, quickly disappearing before them. Cissily entered the cave first to check for dangers.

"It’s safe, come inside quickly."

It seemed that the black panther was a clean one, for the cave was not dirty at all. Andre and Eden laid Fu Hengyi on the ground and began to remove his wet clothes.

Eden had already taken out his small medical kit. Knowing that they were here to rescue Fu Hengyi, he had prepared some common wound medicines, which now came into good use.

Shen Qinglan stared intently as Jin Enxi blocked her line of sight. "Andre, you need to rest now, and you need to take off your wet clothes," she spoke to Qinglan, who sat expressionlessly, giving no reaction.

"Andre, did you hear what I said?" Jin Enxi raised her voice a little and waved her hand in front of Shen Qinglan’s eyes. Shen Qinglan’s gaze flickered.

"Andre, you’re wet. You should change your clothes first," Jin Enxi repeated.

Shen Qinglan’s gaze returned to Fu Hengyi. Jin Enxi continued, "Eden will definitely save Fu Hengyi. What you need to do now is to take care of yourself, so you can take better care of Fu Hengyi later. If you get sick, how will you look after him?"

It was winter now. Even though the temperature here was a lot warmer than in Beijing, it was still winter, and wearing wet clothes could easily lead to a cold.

Shen Qinglan seemed to have taken in Jin Enxi’s words. She sat by the campfire, which Cissily had lit with some dry wood she had found in the cave. It was odd that a cave inhabited by a black panther would have dry wood.

Cissily sat at the mouth of the cave, on guard in case the black panther returned. Shen Qinglan took off her jacket, and Jin Enxi hung it up to dry over the fire. Despite being soaked herself, she didn’t care about her own discomfort; her gaze was filled with concern for Shen Qinglan.

Shen Qinglan noticed Jin Enxi’s gaze and tugged at the corner of her mouth, "I’m fine, don’t worry." She then turned her head back towards Fu Hengyi.

Eden had finished treating Fu Hengyi’s wounds. He had many serious injuries, including the one from shielding Shen Qinglan from a gunshot, as well as numerous others on his leg and body. Limited by their conditions, Eden bandaged the life-threatening wounds and had to ignore the smaller ones for now. To prevent infection, he injected Fu Hengyi with some medication.

"Andre, as soon as the rain stops, we’ll leave immediately. Fu Hengyi will be okay," Eden said, his voice calm, but Shen Qinglan didn’t believe him. She wasn’t a doctor, but she understood that Fu Hengyi’s condition was absolutely dire.

"Eden, just tell me the truth; I can handle it," Shen Qinglan said lightly.

Eden’s eyes shifted slightly, and he glanced at Shen Qinglan. "Andre, I can save Fu Hengyi. I promise."

Shen Qinglan’s gaze was fixed on Eden’s eyes. After a while, she slowly said, "Thank you."

She held Fu Hengyi’s hand and sat there unmoving.

Elsewhere, Allen had received the news that Shen Qinglan had also entered the rainforest and had found Fu Hengyi. His expression turned exceedingly cold. "King, that useless fool, lost his life and still didn’t manage to kill Fu Hengyi!"

Xu Nuo’s gaze darkened as he continued, "BK’s people are still after them. It seems to be Beyoncé’s doing."

With King dead, BK’s people were temporarily obeying Beyoncé.

Allen laughed, "Take care of BK’s people for me."

Xu Nuo looked at him, nonplussed, but Allen didn’t explain and didn’t look at her again after speaking. Seeing that he wasn’t going to say anything else, Xu Nuo simply acknowledged with a "Yes" and turned to leave.

Peter, however, could understand Allen’s approach—it was all about not wanting Shen Qinglan to know his involvement, afraid that she would hate him. But he didn’t consider: wouldn’t Shen Qinglan know anyway, whether he told her or not?

And did Shen Qinglan even have any feelings for Allen? Did hatred matter?

Sometimes Peter truly couldn’t understand Allen; if he cared so much, why not take this perfect opportunity to take Shen Qinglan away? Instead, he was now dealing with BK’s people.

The rain poured all night and only stopped as dawn broke the next day. That night, Shen Qinglan had held Fu Hengyi’s hand, sitting by his side without sleeping a wink.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up with astonishment as she stared at her stomach, her expression stunned. Then quickly, she placed Fu Hengyi’s hand on her belly, "Fu Hengyi, do you feel it? It moved."

As if hearing its mother’s voice or just being playful, the child in her womb moved again, kicking right where Fu Hengyi’s hand rested. Shen Qinglan stared intently at Fu Hengyi’s face, "Fu Hengyi, our child is calling you, greeting you. Do you feel it?"

Fu Hengyi’s eyelids fluttered and slowly opened, yet he said nothing as he watched Shen Qinglan, his gaze tender.

Tears streamed down Shen Qinglan’s cheeks unexpectedly. Fu Hengyi tried to raise his hand but lacked the strength to even do that, and soon, he closed his eyes and fell back into a deep sleep.

"An, the rain has stopped; we need to leave here as soon as possible," Jin Enxi said as she came in from outside.

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan tried to stand up but nearly fell due to her legs softening after staying in the same position for too long. Eden quickly supported her, and Shen Qinglan shook her head, indicating she was alright.

Andre lifted Fu Hengyi on his back, and they left the place.

Not long after they had departed, someone discovered the cave. Beyoncé, looking at the bloodstains and remains of the campfire on the ground, coldly said, "They must be nearby. Chase them."

King was dead, dying right before him. Although by taking King’s place as the leader of BK, things could have been his, King had treated him well over the years. Under these circumstances, he still wanted to avenge King.

However, Beyoncé’s luck was clearly not on his side. He had only gotten halfway into the chase when he encountered Shen Qian and his group. As expected, everyone except Beyoncé was subdued by the military personnel.

Allen, witnessing this scene from a distance, signaled Xu Nuo with a glance, and Xu Nuo immediately followed Beyoncé, clearly intending to finish things once and for all.

"Allen, it’s time for us to go too. They will find Shen Qinglan and the others soon," Peter said as he watched the direction Shen Qian and the others had left.

With a dark expression, Allen glanced deeply in the direction Shen Qian’s group had taken and turned to walk the other way, not at all concerned about Xu Nuo not having returned yet or whether she would manage dealing with Beyoncé.

Indeed, Shen Qian found Shen Qinglan and the others quite quickly. However, when he found them, aside from Eden and Fu Hengyi, the others had already left in advance. The confrontation between Shen Qian and Beyoncé had been too noisy, and Jin Enxi went to check it out. Knowing Shen Qinglan’s father was involved and not wanting to bring her unnecessary trouble, they had all left.

"Lanlan," Shen Junyu’s eyes were filled with surprise at the sight of Shen Qinglan, but they sank to the depths when he saw Fu Hengyi being carried by Eden.

Shen Qinglan had been barely holding on, both physically and mentally, her strength nearly at its limit. The moment she saw Shen Qian and Shen Junyu, her tense nerves gave way, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Lanlan."

At the Military District Hospital, Shen Qinglan lay unconscious in the hospital bed, her brows furrowed as if she had seen something in her dreams, tears streaking along her eyes, her expression one of sadness and despair.

Shen Junyu sat quietly by the bed, watching her, his eyes filled with pain and anger. He resolved that when Shen Qinglan woke up, he would surely give her a good scolding for being so reckless.

"Fu Hengyi," Shen Qinglan suddenly sat up in bed, throwing off the covers, prepared to get out of bed, "Fu Hengyi."

Shen Junyu pressed her down, "Shen Qinglan, what are you doing?"

Shen Qinglan pushed his hand away, "I need to go to Fu Hengyi."

"Fu Hengyi is still in the operating room being resuscitated."

Shen Qinglan’s movements paused, and she stared at Shen Junyu intently, "Brother, take me there."

Seeing her pleading eyes, Shen Junyu found it impossible to refuse her request, "Alright."

Outside the operating room, Shen Qian was waiting. When he saw Shen Qinglan, he immediately stood up, "Qinglan."

Shen Qinglan glanced at the firmly shut doors of the operating room and then at Shen Qian, "Dad, how is it going?"

Shen Qian, seeing that she was still relatively calm, said, "The surgery is still ongoing. Your friend who came with you has gone in; he said he was a doctor and asked me to tell you that Fu Hengyi will be alright."

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan had no reaction. She quietly looked at the door of the operating room, her face calm, not saying a word.

Shen Qian and Shen Junyu could not bring themselves to ask her to leave and rest, understanding the worry in her heart, and they stood there, waiting with her. And they waited for three long hours.
