Mr. CEO Loves The Devilish Beauty Chapter 185 - Unexpected Saviors

Xu Mey heard the sound of the bullet being shot but the pain never came. What came was a cry that was heard somewhere close to her.

Xu Mey slowly opened her eyes and the scene before her, made her freeze for a moment. All she saw was blood around her and then her eyes fell on the figure laying in her feet, groaning with pain.

Her eyes widened up and she knelt down crying out, "Dad!"

The moment she had closed her eyes earlier, two figures entered the room exactly at the same time. One came like a shadow through the window and the other pushed open the door and ran in front of Xu Mey.

The figure that ran before Xu Mey managed to save her from the bullet but by making his own body a s.h.i.+eld for her. And he was Xu Mey's own father, Xu Cheng. The bullet hit his shoulder. Due to the pain and force, he fell to the ground. The blood was gus.h.i.+ng out from his wound, making a puddle under him.

Looking at her father bleeding at her feet, Xu Mey's mind went completely blank for a while. When she knelt down to hold his body, her own limbs were quivering with fear. "Dad!" She called out again, touching his blanched face with her trembling fingers.

"Mey!" She could hear her father's low hoa.r.s.e voice.

"Don't talk, dad! You're losing blood." She closed her eyes briefly to get back her composure. After that, she placed both her hands on Xu Cheng's wound to control the bleeding but her hand was of no use. She darted her eyes around in the blood covered room and that's when her gaze fell on the lone figure standing at the side.

The figure that flew inside earlier like a shadow had a hood on, in black color that covered most of his face. When he jumped in the room, the lights reflected on the thin but sharp needles that flew out of his hands and pierced at the acupuncture points of the masked men inside the room.

Because of the needles blocking their movements, none of them could even lift their head to see who slashed their throat with a dagger. It was a clean cut which didn't even give them a chance to even cry out in pain. Their lifeless bodies dropped one after the other as the dark figure looked at the dagger in his hand and frowned seeing the blood covering its silvery body. The dark figure squatted down and cleaned the dagger with the dead men's clothes revealing the beautiful dagger in his hand.

When the figure saw Xu Mey staring at him, he pulled off the hood to show his green eyes staring back at Xu Mey.

Looking at that face that was familiar to her and those eyes that looked completely unfamiliar, Xu Mey couldn't think of anything. "Sensei?" She called out extremely cautiously.

The green-eyed person threw a pill bottle to Xu Mey saying, "Feed two pills to your dad, it'll stop the bleeding until I take care of the people outside." Ru turned to jump out of the window, halted, and turned to look at Xu Mey, "Until I say so, don't you dare walk out of this room."

Even though Xu Mey was worried for her father, she couldn't disobey the person before her either. The only thing she could do was have faith and she did. She fed two pills to her father and tore a piece of her own s.h.i.+rt to bind around the wound. The blood didn't stop but it wasn't gus.h.i.+ng out as it did a while ago.

She hugged her father closer to her chest and covered his ear. She could clearly hear the cries for help outside the window along with gunshots but she wasn't scared at all. Her only concern at the moment was her father.

She couldn't think of a reason why her father was there in the first place? Also, did he know that something was going to happen to her? And if yes, then how did he know? Apart from all that, why did he took that bullet for her?

There were so many questions in her heart but there was no one to answer her. Because the only person who had all the answers was laying in her arms with irregular breaths. With each pa.s.sing second, Xu Cheng's breathing was getting shallow and Xu Mey's heart was drumming against her chest abnormally.

No matter how much she said that she hates her dad, they were still blood-related. And no matter what, for a daughter, her father always stays the most important man even if he never did anything for her.

She didn't realize that tears were staining her face and she didn't care for anything else at the moment anyway.

When Ru walked back inside, she saw how Xu Mey was hugging her father while crying with her shoulders trembling. She squatted near Xu Cheng's body, held his wrist and took his pulse.

After that, she got up silently and said, "He's still okay. Let's take him to the hospital. The bullet didn't injure any vital points."

Xu Mey silently listened to Ru and tried to support her father's body but with her own panicking state, she couldn't manage to help him up. "Useless," Ru grumbled and held Xu Cheng's body with his arm slung over her shoulder, she brought him out.

Xu Mey opened the door of her car and Ru placed his fainted body inside. Xu Mey was about to sit in the driver seat when Ru held her wrist saying, "I still plan on living. Let me drive."

The words were harsh but true.

Xu Mey couldn't argue since her mental state didn't allow her to drive the car sensibly. She sat in the back seat holding her father's head.

Ru drove the car silently but Xu Mey couldn't help asking, "Sensei, how are you here?"

Ru snickered. "You should be glad that I was here. Otherwise, you'd have gotten yourself killed because of your dumb mind."

As always, Ru didn't hold back with her honest words. And Xu Mey was aware of her own mistake. She lowered her head in guilt. "What? After everything that you went through? You still came alone?" Ru asked with disbelief.

"I thought no matter what, she won't try to kill me." Xu Mey muttered wiping the beads of sweat of her father's face. She could expect everything from Xu Liqing but she still had a hope that Xu Liqing was her sister and she won't try to kill her. Today, Xu Liqing broke the last thread of the relations.h.i.+p that they held.
