However, Xiao Minxing quickly reached an agreement with the other party. Of course, he wouldn't transfer the money first; instead, he insisted on seeing Mina first.
Two people moved closer to him and said in a rough voice, "Stop wasting time. Hand over the money, and you can take her. If you don't pay, not only will she not leave, but you won't be able to either."
Xiao Minxing replied, "You just want money. If anything else happens, the situation will change. At that point, you might not get your money, and she could end up in a worse situation. To be honest, I'm a businessman who believes in making money through good relations. So let me see her first, and I will definitely pay you."
However, the other party refused to budge, and someone came up to grab Xiao Minxing.
As he observed his surroundings while moving towards the Entrance, he pulled out the hand that was hidden in his pocket.
Before he could fully draw it out, several people lunged at him, causing me to scream in fright.
But Xiao Minxing took advantage of this moment to push me towards the door while pulling out a black electric baton and thrusting it at those people.
The scene instantly descended into chaos. Although some were hit by him, more people managed to pin him down, punching and kicking him. I was completely paralyzed with fear, unable to muster the strength to open the door. My eyes were fixed on Xiao Minxing, my mind blank.
He was struck hard in the head by someone and tilted sideways. Before he could straighten up, he was hit again in the face and kicked in the legs, losing his balance and falling down.
The black electric baton fell to the ground and was kicked far away by the group.
Xiao Minxing curled up on the ground, holding his head, already unable to fight back.
My head felt like it was going to explode; my eyes were burning with tears, and my hands were trembling. Yet I lunged forward desperately, trying to tear away at the man who kept hitting me but was knocked down by a punch from him.
When Xiao Minxing lowered his arms and saw me, his pupils constricted instantly. Like a leopard suddenly charged with energy, he got back up from the ground, grabbed the person who had been kicking me, and with both hands forcefully threw him down before violently striking his head with his fists and knees.
Blood splattered out, staining his clothes and hands red.
They probably didn't expect him to suddenly act like this, so they were stunned for a few seconds. Just as they were about to make another move, they were pushed aside from the outside, and the police came in with guns drawn.
When Xiao Minxing and I were taken to the Hospital, I was surprised to see Zhuo Feng had arrived, accompanied by Su Qian.
They looked anxious and hurriedly glanced at Xiao Minxing before joining the police.
I only had minor injuries; after applying some medicine, I was fine. However, Xiao Minxing's condition was very serious.
He was pushed into the emergency room.
I sat outside waiting for him, my heart twisted in knots, and my mind was a chaotic mess, thinking of many things—both from his past and what had just happened. In every scene, he appeared like a king, tall and powerful, looking down on everything.
But such a person was now lying in the emergency room.
I could hardly bear to look at the glaring red lights; they were too bright and pierced straight to my heart.
I called upon all the deities I knew, asking them to bless Xiao Minxing and promising that I would exchange my own life if necessary.
A person walked over from the other end of the corridor and sat down next to me, handing me a handkerchief.
It was then that I realized I had been crying without noticing, tears streaming down my face. I grabbed it to wipe my eyes, and the pristine white handkerchief was soon smeared with my Tears and snot, looking rather ugly.
Su Qian comforted me, saying, "It's okay. Medical technology is advanced now; he only has minor injuries and will be out soon."
I nodded vigorously, forcing myself to believe what he said.
After a long time, I finally remembered to ask him, "How did you guys get here?"
Su Qian said lightly, "Brother Feng went to discuss a project. I had nothing to do, so I went along to take a look. Later, I received a call from Xiao Zong, saying that Mina had an accident, and we rushed over together."
I remembered that when we left Haicheng, Xiao Minxing had made many calls, but I didn't expect him to call Zhuo Feng.
Now that we're talking about these things, I hurriedly asked him, "What about Mina? How is she?"
Su Qian shrugged and said, "We haven't found her. That phone seems to have been picked up or stolen by this group of people; Mina is not here at all."
His words left me a bit confused, and I followed up with another question, "Then where did she go?"
Su Qian smiled and said, "I think she should be fine. It's just that her phone is lost, so we can't contact her. But you—your face is injured; you need to take care of it quickly. Otherwise, knowing her personality, she might come back for revenge when she sees it."
People who study psychology often have this ability to easily heal or divert others' attention. While chatting with Su Qian like this, even though I was still worried about Xiao Minxing in my heart, I wasn't as tense as before. For some reason, I deeply believed that she would be okay.
Su Qian didn't stay long; after sitting for a while, he stood up and said, "Brother Feng is anxious right now and is checking Mina's whereabouts with the police. I was worried about you, so I came to see you. Since everything is fine now, I'll leave first."
I nodded at him and watched his somewhat thin figure disappear around the corner of the corridor.
It had been half an hour since Xiao Minxing came out. Many parts of his body were bandaged, and his face was tightly wrapped up, leaving only his two eyes staring at me.
I went up to hold his hand but saw his eyes suddenly tighten, and he let out a grunt.
The doctor routinely said it was just a minor concussion caused by a strong impact; they had checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong. He just needed to rest for the external injuries.
The nurse pushed the wheeled bed into the ward. I jogged alongside until everyone left. Only then did Xiao Minxing ask me, "Are you okay?"
I shook my head and wiped away my tears.
He rolled his eyes upward, his tone far from pleasant: "Are you stupid? Why aren't you leaving? I've never seen such a foolish woman like you."
Through tear-filled eyes, I looked at him, feeling both warm and choked up inside.
After cursing himself a couple of times, he seemed extremely frustrated and finally gave up on that topic to ask me, "Have you found that woman as stupid as you?"
I relayed Su Qian's words to him, and he let out a long sigh, saying, "I knew it would be like this."
"Huh? You knew?" I asked in surprise.
Xiao Minxing shot me another glance, but this time the movement seemed a bit too much, causing him pain at the injury. He squinted slightly and then spoke more softly.
"These people are just involved in petty thefts and robberies; they're not real gangsters. If they really had someone in their hands, they would likely just rob us clean and be done with it. Luring us here with a phone call is just because they’re unwilling to give up; they want to make some money off us."
That seemed somewhat reasonable, and I couldn't help but ask him, "If you knew this all along, why did you still come?"
He shot me another glare and replied irritably, "If I didn't come, would you be at ease? You might think I'm seeking revenge and don't want to save anyone."
He was right about that too. When he followed me back then, I felt he had no good intentions.
Feeling guilty, I lowered my head, lacking the courage to look at him.
He actually came along to reassure me, clearly having guessed everything, yet still followed me here and got himself hurt like this. Was I really that foolish?
