NOVEL NEXT Chapter 125: It's Up to Fate
Bang!
Qin Yu threw a punch, and the old crone extended her claw-like hand to block it hard.
Screeching...
Qin Yu's blood roiled, and his body uncontrollably staggered back several steps.
The old crone wasn't faring much better, stumbling backward, nearly falling on her backside.
"Granny, is he that strong?"
The little lolita blinked her watery, large eyes, her face full of disbelief.
"He has already understood the dark energy!"
The old crone's voice was extremely hoarse, as if suppressing a gob of phlegm, making it quite unpleasant to hear.
"No wonder he could become the bodyguard of this beautiful lady. Granny, hurry, kill him!"
The little lolita ordered the old crone.
"Give me ten more moves!"
The old crone's face was full of wrinkles, showing no indication of her actual age; her eyes dim and lusterless.
However, perversely, her combat power was terrifying. Her dry hands, like steel claws, reached out for Qin Yu.
Rip...
Qin Yu certainly wouldn't back down, fighting desperately with the old crone, whether for Yan Mingyu or for his own sake.
Bam bam...
Once again, the sound of flesh and bone colliding emitted.
"Oh no, Granny!"
The little lolita covered her forehead, her body swaying as if she were about to faint.
"Xian'er?"
The old crone was shocked, hastily retreated, picked up the little lolita, and ran away.
Uh...
What's happening?
Qin Yu blinked, and in a few seconds, the old and the young vanished without a trace.
Never mind that, I need to get Yan Mingyu to the hospital first!
As the old and the young made their escape, those poisonous mosquitoes also flew out, but Qin Yu's right hand had already swollen several times over, oozing blackish blood.
Grinding his teeth, he picked up Yan Mingyu with one hand, hoisted her onto his shoulder, and ran out of the villa.
After getting in the car, he floored the accelerator, heading towards the Yan Family's private hospital.
Along the way, he didn't know how many red lights he ran through.
He figured his driver's license was probably gone now.
Screech...
Finally, Qin Yu reached the private hospital. As he got out of the car carrying Yan Mingyu, he stumbled and almost knelt on the ground: "Quick, save her!"
"President Yan?"
"Assistant Qin!"
The doctors at the private hospital, most of whom recognized Qin Yu, saw that he and Yan Mingyu were both poisoned and hurriedly had the nurses bring a stretcher to carry the two inside.
"We've done our best, now it's up to fate!" Qin Yu felt his body swaying increasingly weaker, his vision darkening, and he finally closed his eyes.
I don't know how long it's been...
Two old men, accompanied by a doctor, arrived at Qin Yu's ward.
"President Yan!"
"Save her, save her!"
Qin Yu remained feverish, and even in his unconscious state, he was still concerned about Yan Mingyu's safety.
"Xiao Yu..."
Old Master Yan was touched, reaching out and touching Qin Yu's forehead: "Mingyu is already safe; you need to get better soon, too!"
Then, he turned to look at the solemn-looking Grandfather Qin and asked, "What poison has Xiao Yu suffered from?"
"Miaojiang's Golden Thread Snake and Ghost-Faced Mosquitoes!"
Grandfather Qin frowned slightly and sighed, "For Xiao Yu to hold on until now is already a miracle!"
"Ah? My son-in-law, he couldn't possibly..."
Old Master Yan immediately tensed up.
"I've already given him the antidote pill; whether or not he can wake up will depend on the opportunity!"
Grandpa Qin's mood was also very heavy; this was his only biological grandson, after all.
However, the Golden Thread Snake and Ghost-Face Mosquito were extremely poisonous, and a single bite would kill an ordinary person, yet his grandson had still managed to hold on until now.
"Opportunity? What do you mean?"
Old Master Yan asked, not understanding.
"This, it's too mysterious, I can't explain it clearly! Let's go outside, not to disturb him!"
Grandpa Qin pulled Old Master Yan, and the two elderly men left the sickroom.
One day...
Two days...
A full three days.
Qin Yu had been running a high fever continuously with no sign of waking up.
Yan Mingyu, on the other hand, was much luckier; she had only been bitten by the Golden Thread Snake, and Qin Yu had promptly sucked out the venom for her, cleaned the wound, and injected the antitoxin serum. After a few days of rest, she had almost fully recovered.
Still, she hadn't gone to the company to work for these few days. Qin Yu's continued unconsciousness filled her with both guilt and heartache.
Upon arriving at Qin Yu's sickroom and seeing him covered with tubes and having lost a lot of weight, Yan Mingyu's eyes warmed, and tears almost came out.
If it were not for Qin Yu risking his life to save her, she would've been the one lying in bed and suffering.
You're just my bodyguard, why go to such lengths!
Yan Mingyu felt that Qin Yu's kindness toward her had far surpassed the relationship between an employee and a boss.
It was more like a pair of lovers, steadfast until death!
Could it be, he likes me?
Yan Mingyu was somewhat dubious in her heart and felt it was highly unlikely, considering he knew she was a married woman!
No matter how good he was to her, there could be no future!
Yan Mingyu bit her lip, sitting on the edge of the bed and said softly, "Qin Yu, you are a good man, thank you for going to such lengths for me, but I don't like you. In this life, I can only be loyal to my husband!"
At this moment.
Within Qin Yu's dreamscape.
He was walking alone in a desolate, scorched emptiness, vaguely hearing Yan Mingyu's voice saying, I don't like you!
Damn!
Qin Yu jolted awake, all the things he had done were for the sake of winning the heart of this icy wife, weren't they?
And she doesn't like him?
How could this be allowed!
"Wife!"
Qin Yu suddenly opened his eyes, subconsciously grabbing Yan Mingyu's tender, boneless hands.
"Qin Yu? You're awake..."
Yan Mingyu was overjoyed, but feeling her hands being grasped by Qin Yu, her pretty face blushed slightly as she gently yet firmly withdrew them.
"Uh... sorry, Director Yan, I dreamed about my wife!" Stay updated via empire
Qin Yu said awkwardly.
"No worries! I'll let the doctor come in to check on you!"
Yan Mingyu stood up and walked out of the sickroom.
It was time to keep a distance between herself and Qin Yu or else it would surely affect both of their families.
Yan Mingyu bit her lower lip, having already made up her mind.
Soon, a group of doctors came in and carefully examined Qin Yu.
The final verdict was that he was basically out of danger; his immune system had almost completely eliminated the toxins, and he could be discharged after resting for two more days.
Phew...
That was another narrow escape from the jaws of death!
Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief, but still worried. If that poison-expert loli had failed this time, might she use a more covert method to target Yan Mingyu next time?
However, not only was she skilled in poisoning, but she also had an expert protecting her, making it rather difficult to deal with her.
For the next two days, while Qin Yu rested, he pondered how to deal with the loli and remove this potential threat.
It seemed that he only had to summon the two computer experts again. As long as he could pinpoint where the loli lived, he should be able to deal with her if he brought along a few Grade-A security guards.
As Qin Yu was planning, his work phone received a message from Yan Mingyu: Qin Yu, from now on, you will no longer be my bodyguard!
What?
Qin Yu stared at his phone in astonishment.
He couldn't help but reply quickly: Director Yan, are you firing me?
