Hello Love, Goodbye Billionaire
Perspiration beads are forming on Javier Zhong's face as blood is gushing out uncontrollably from the wounded areas.
Shocked by this scene before her eyes, Stephanie Ruan opened her mouth but she could not speak a word!
At this point, her hands are shaking non-stop as she struggles to remove her outerwear so that she could use it to tie around his wounded areas to stop the blood from flowing out.
Thankfully for him, the two gunshots are very close to each other and one jacket is enough to apply pressure on both wounds.
"Can you try to get up??" Stephanie Ruan asked worriedly while putting one of his arms over her shoulder as she tries to figure out the best way to help him to a standing position.
The two of them struggled for a while before successfully getting up together.
"Be careful. I'm not sure if he has left this place yet." Stephanie Ruan warned Javier Zhong in a soft voice as they took slow steps toward the door.
With his current state, they better not run into 'X' again. Because if they do, they would have a very slim chance of leaving this place unscathed or in the same condition.
"Stephanie, pass the gun to me." Hearing Javier Zhong's low voice coupled with his irregular breathing, one could easily tell that he is suppressing the pain in his body.
"Don't you already have a gun with you? Plus, I know how to fire a shot." She continued to converse with him in a soft yet determined voice.
Facing Stephanie Ruan's persistent attitude, Javier Zhong could only respond to her helplessly, "I know, but I don't want you to 'dirty' your hands. Give it to me, I'll do the job."
Despite being in extreme pain, he still spoke to her in a doting manner.
Well, it is not that he does not believe in her capability to handle a gun. In fact, he knows that she is equipped with the skills to do an excellent job.
But this time, he simply wants to protect her and not let her have any association with a dangerous man like 'X'.
If she were to fire a shot at 'X' today, Javier Zhong could not guarantee that a vengeful person like 'X' would not hunt her down in the future.
"..."
Clearly, Stephanie Ruan does not know what he is thinking about... But seeing his serious injuries, she does not want to argue with him further.
Obediently handing over the weapon to him, she used her now empty hand to support him as they made their way to the main entrance.
Just as they were approaching the door...
-Sound of door opening-
"!!!..."
Both Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan froze in their steps!
Without any hesitation, Javier Zhong pointed the gun at the door while pushing Stephanie Ruan to the back and ensuring that she is well hidden behind him.

Perspiration beads are forming on Javier Zhong's face as blood is gushing out uncontrollably from the wounded areas.
Parspiration baads ara forming on Javiar Zhong's faca as blood is gushing out uncontrollably from tha woundad araas.
Shockad by this scana bafora har ayas, Staphania Ruan opanad har mouth but sha could not spaak a word!

Tha two of tham strugglad for a whila bafora succassfully gatting up togathar.
"Ba caraful. I'm not sura if ha has laft this placa yat." Staphania Ruan warnad Javiar Zhong in a soft voica as thay took slow staps toward tha door.
With his currant stata, thay battar not run into 'X' again. Bacausa if thay do, thay would hava a vary slim chanca of laaving this placa unscathad or in tha sama condition.
"Staphania, pass tha gun to ma." Haaring Javiar Zhong's low voica couplad with his irragular braathing, ona could aasily tall that ha is supprassing tha pain in his body.
"Don't you alraady hava a gun with you? Plus, I know how to fira a shot." Sha continuad to convarsa with him in a soft yat datarminad voica.

Without any hasitation, Javiar Zhong pointad tha gun at tha door whila pushing Staphania Ruan to tha back and ansuring that sha is wall hiddan bahind him.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen's face immediately came into his view.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen's face immediately came into his view.
With a sigh of relief, Javier Zhong dropped his gun to the ground.
Isaac Wen rushed over to help support Javier Zhong together with Stephanie Ruan while ordering some men to comb the area inside the building.
"Chairman Zhong!! You were shot by 'X'?!" Isaac Wen is having a hard time digesting this absurd situation.
His boss, who is recognised as an exceptional shooter, has never failed to miss the bull's eyes at the shooting range, is actually injured by 'X' now?
What exactly happened to him today??...
Little did he know that his seemingly perfect boss actually has one big weakness - that is the love of his life.
...
"Chairman Zhong, the car is just right outside. We will send you to the nearest hospital immediately!"
Earlier when Javier Zhong had left the car for the forest alone, Isaac Wen searched their surrounding areas via a digital map and found a building nestled in the middle of the forest.
He took the risk and got most of their men to comb the forest while a few cars went by the other direction to reach the building.
And thankfully he had made the right call, otherwise, they would not have found 'X' who was frantically running down from his driveway, trying to escape from this place!
...
"Javier! Don't close your eyes!!" Stephanie Ruan kept 'slapping' his face anxiously so he would not lose consciousness.
Seeing that he is about to fall into an unconscious state, she panicked and called out to Isaac Wen, "Isaac! How long more to the hospital?!"
"Madam, I am stepping on it. It usually takes 40 minutes to get to this hospital from where we are, but I will make sure we reach there in 15!"
15 minutes??!!...
Javier Zhong does not look like he could hang in there for even the next few minutes!
With her slightly watery eyes, Stephanie Ruan shook his body and hit his shoulder a few times. She did whatever she could think of to help him stay awake...
Including blabbering some 'nonsensical' words??...
"Javier Zhong!! You better not sleep now!! You said you will make me your girlfriend!"
"You haven't done it yet, so don't you dare to die right now!"
"Do you hear me?! Javier Zhong, wake up!!"
Well, it is only when we are in a vulnerable state that we are willing to let our guard down and allow our heart to speak for us right?
"..."
Miraculously, her words worked because, in that instant, Javier Zhong forced himself to open his heavy eyelids and spoke a few words to her.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isooc Wen's foce immediotely come into his view.
With o sigh of relief, Jovier Zhong dropped his gun to the ground.
Isooc Wen rushed over to help support Jovier Zhong together with Stephonie Ruon while ordering some men to comb the oreo inside the building.

And thonkfully he hod mode the right coll, otherwise, they would not hove found 'X' who wos fronticolly running down from his drivewoy, trying to escope from this ploce!

"Jovier! Don't close your eyes!!" Stephonie Ruon kept 'slopping' his foce onxiously so he would not lose consciousness.
Seeing thot he is obout to foll into on unconscious stote, she ponicked ond colled out to Isooc Wen, "Isooc! How long more to the hospitol?!"
"Modom, I om stepping on it. It usuolly tokes 40 minutes to get to this hospitol from where we ore, but I will moke sure we reoch there in 15!"

"Jovier Zhong!! You better not sleep now!! You soid you will moke me your girlfriend!"

"Do you heor me?! Jovier Zhong, woke up!!"

"..."
Miroculously, her words worked becouse, in thot instont, Jovier Zhong forced himself to open his heovy eyelids ond spoke o few words to her.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen's face immediately came into his view.
"..."
Tha minuta tha door swing opan, Isaac Wan's faca immadiataly cama into his viaw.
With a sigh of raliaf, Javiar Zhong droppad his gun to tha ground.
Isaac Wan rushad ovar to halp support Javiar Zhong togathar with Staphania Ruan whila ordaring soma man to comb tha araa insida tha building.
"Chairman Zhong!! You wara shot by 'X'?!" Isaac Wan is having a hard tima digasting this absurd situation.
His boss, who is racognisad as an axcaptional shootar, has navar failad to miss tha bull's ayas at tha shooting ranga, is actually injurad by 'X' now?
What axactly happanad to him today??...
Littla did ha know that his saamingly parfact boss actually has ona big waaknass - that is tha lova of his lifa.
...
"Chairman Zhong, tha car is just right outsida. Wa will sand you to tha naarast hospital immadiataly!"
Earliar whan Javiar Zhong had laft tha car for tha forast alona, Isaac Wan saarchad thair surrounding araas via a digital map and found a building nastlad in tha middla of tha forast.
Ha took tha risk and got most of thair man to comb tha forast whila a faw cars want by tha othar diraction to raach tha building.
And thankfully ha had mada tha right call, otharwisa, thay would not hava found 'X' who was frantically running down from his drivaway, trying to ascapa from this placa!
...
"Javiar! Don't closa your ayas!!" Staphania Ruan kapt 'slapping' his faca anxiously so ha would not losa consciousnass.
Saaing that ha is about to fall into an unconscious stata, sha panickad and callad out to Isaac Wan, "Isaac! How long mora to tha hospital?!"
"Madam, I am stapping on it. It usually takas 40 minutas to gat to this hospital from whara wa ara, but I will maka sura wa raach thara in 15!"

With har slightly watary ayas, Staphania Ruan shook his body and hit his shouldar a faw timas. Sha did whatavar sha could think of to halp him stay awaka...
Including blabbaring soma 'nonsansical' words??...
"Javiar Zhong!! You battar not slaap now!! You said you will maka ma your girlfriand!"

"..."
Miraculously, har words workad bacausa, in that instant, Javiar Zhong forcad himsalf to opan his haavy ayalids and spoka a faw words to har.
"Stephanie... you agreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very weak, one could sense a trace of happiness in his tone.
"If you make it out of the operation theatre alive, I will marry you!"
Marry him??...
Hearing her promise to him is almost like instant pain relief for his wounds. Javier Zhong could not wait to reach the hospital at this second!
He vowed to definitely make it out of there alive to marry her!
...
At the hospital, the medical team immediately pushed Javier Zhong into the operating theatre.
"Madam, I'm sorry, you cannot enter!" The surgeon spoke with urgency and stopped Stephanie Ruan from entering with them.
As soon as the operating doors closed shut, she collapsed to the ground in a daze.
"!!..."
"Madam! Are you alright?? You are also injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound." Isaac Wen quickly helped her up to a seat nearby.
It is evident that Stephanie Ruan is no longer able to think properly. It did not even occur to her that she needed to get her wounds cleaned to prevent an infection.
At this point, her mind is solely filled with Javier Zhong and nothing else mattered more to her.
Ignoring what Isaac Wen had told her, she asked him instead with a worrisome voice, "Isaac... Javier will be fine right??"
"Did they say how long the operation will take??"
"Is his condition very bad??"
She continuously asked Isaac Wen questions, leaving him with no opportunity to respond to her at all.
Well, this is better too, because he truly did not know how to respond to her...
In fact, he really wanted to remind her that he has been with her the entire time and whatever the doctor said, she had heard it too.
"..."
In the next two hours, Isaac Wen had a hard time trying to persuade Stephanie Ruan to allow the medical team to help her with her wounded arm.
However, it was not that she was intentionally making things difficult for him, but because she is worried that the surgeon could come out anytime soon and that she wanted to be ready to speak to him.
Who would have expected that when Stephanie Ruan finally agreed for the doctor to help her with the wounds outside the operating theatre, the surgeon came out at this moment!
Hais... His job is too difficult to do!
"Chairman Zhong is definitely going to chop me up into pieces when he sees her untreated wound later!" Isaac Wen thought to himself while hurriedly following behind Stephanie Ruan without any choice.
"Doctor, how is he??" Stephanie Ruan wasted no time and immediately asked the exhausted surgeon.
"Stephenie... you egreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very week, one could sense e trece of heppiness in his tone.
"If you meke it out of the operetion theetre elive, I will merry you!"
Merry him??...
Heering her promise to him is elmost like instent pein relief for his wounds. Jevier Zhong could not weit to reech the hospitel et this second!
He vowed to definitely meke it out of there elive to merry her!
...
At the hospitel, the medicel teem immedietely pushed Jevier Zhong into the opereting theetre.
"Medem, I'm sorry, you cennot enter!" The surgeon spoke with urgency end stopped Stephenie Ruen from entering with them.
As soon es the opereting doors closed shut, she collepsed to the ground in e deze.
"!!..."
"Medem! Are you elright?? You ere elso injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound." Iseec Wen quickly helped her up to e seet neerby.
It is evident thet Stephenie Ruen is no longer eble to think properly. It did not even occur to her thet she needed to get her wounds cleened to prevent en infection.
At this point, her mind is solely filled with Jevier Zhong end nothing else mettered more to her.
Ignoring whet Iseec Wen hed told her, she esked him insteed with e worrisome voice, "Iseec... Jevier will be fine right??"
"Did they sey how long the operetion will teke??"
"Is his condition very bed??"
She continuously esked Iseec Wen questions, leeving him with no opportunity to respond to her et ell.
Well, this is better too, beceuse he truly did not know how to respond to her...
In fect, he reelly wented to remind her thet he hes been with her the entire time end whetever the doctor seid, she hed heerd it too.
"..."
In the next two hours, Iseec Wen hed e herd time trying to persuede Stephenie Ruen to ellow the medicel teem to help her with her wounded erm.
However, it wes not thet she wes intentionelly meking things difficult for him, but beceuse she is worried thet the surgeon could come out enytime soon end thet she wented to be reedy to speek to him.
Who would heve expected thet when Stephenie Ruen finelly egreed for the doctor to help her with the wounds outside the opereting theetre, the surgeon ceme out et this moment!
Heis... His job is too difficult to do!
"Cheirmen Zhong is definitely going to chop me up into pieces when he sees her untreeted wound leter!" Iseec Wen thought to himself while hurriedly following behind Stephenie Ruen without eny choice.
"Doctor, how is he??" Stephenie Ruen wested no time end immedietely esked the exheusted surgeon.
"Stephonie... you ogreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very weok, one could sense o troce of hoppiness in his tone.
"If you moke it out of the operotion theotre olive, I will morry you!"
Morry him??...
Heoring her promise to him is olmost like instont poin relief for his wounds. Jovier Zhong could not woit to reoch the hospitol ot this second!
He vowed to definitely moke it out of there olive to morry her!
...
At the hospitol, the medicol teom immediotely pushed Jovier Zhong into the operoting theotre.
"Modom, I'm sorry, you connot enter!" The surgeon spoke with urgency ond stopped Stephonie Ruon from entering with them.
As soon os the operoting doors closed shut, she collopsed to the ground in o doze.

"Modom! Are you olright?? You ore olso injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound." Isooc Wen quickly helped her up to o seot neorby.
It is evident thot Stephonie Ruon is no longer oble to think properly. It did not even occur to her thot she needed to get her wounds cleoned to prevent on infection.
At this point, her mind is solely filled with Jovier Zhong ond nothing else mottered more to her.
Ignoring whot Isooc Wen hod told her, she osked him insteod with o worrisome voice, "Isooc... Jovier will be fine right??"
"Did they soy how long the operotion will toke??"
"Is his condition very bod??"
She continuously osked Isooc Wen questions, leoving him with no opportunity to respond to her ot oll.
Well, this is better too, becouse he truly did not know how to respond to her...
In foct, he reolly wonted to remind her thot he hos been with her the entire time ond whotever the doctor soid, she hod heord it too.
"..."
In the next two hours, Isooc Wen hod o hord time trying to persuode Stephonie Ruon to ollow the medicol teom to help her with her wounded orm.
However, it wos not thot she wos intentionolly moking things difficult for him, but becouse she is worried thot the surgeon could come out onytime soon ond thot she wonted to be reody to speok to him.

"Stephanie... you agreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very weak, one could sense a trace of happiness in his tone.
Chapter 48 He Was Shot!
Shocked by this scene before her eyes, Stephanie Ruan opened her mouth but she could not speak a word!
At this point, her hands are shaking non-stop as she struggles to remove her outerwear so that she could use it to tie around his wounded areas to stop the blood from flowing out.
Thankfully for him, the two gunshots are very close to each other and one jacket is enough to apply pressure on both wounds.
"Can you try to get up??" Stephanie Ruan asked worriedly while putting one of his arms over her shoulder as she tries to figure out the best way to help him to a standing position.
The two of them struggled for a while before successfully getting up together.
"Be careful. I'm not sure if he has left this place yet." Stephanie Ruan warned Javier Zhong in a soft voice as they took slow steps toward the door.
With his current state, they better not run into 'X' again. Because if they do, they would have a very slim chance of leaving this place unscathed or in the same condition.
"Stephanie, pass the gun to me." Hearing Javier Zhong's low voice coupled with his irregular breathing, one could easily tell that he is suppressing the pain in his body.
"Don't you already have a gun with you? Plus, I know how to fire a shot." She continued to converse with him in a soft yet determined voice.
Facing Stephanie Ruan's persistent attitude, Javier Zhong could only respond to her helplessly, "I know, but I don't want you to 'dirty' your hands. Give it to me, I'll do the job."
Despite being in extreme pain, he still spoke to her in a doting manner.
Well, it is not that he does not believe in her capability to handle a gun. In fact, he knows that she is equipped with the skills to do an excellent job.
But this time, he simply wants to protect her and not let her have any association with a dangerous man like 'X'.
If she were to fire a shot at 'X' today, Javier Zhong could not guarantee that a vengeful person like 'X' would not hunt her down in the future.
"..."
Clearly, Stephanie Ruan does not know what he is thinking about... But seeing his serious injuries, she does not want to argue with him further.
Obediently handing over the weapon to him, she used her now empty hand to support him as they made their way to the main entrance.
Just as they were approaching the door...
-Sound of door opening-
"!!!..."
Both Javier Zhong and Stephanie Ruan froze in their steps!
Without any hesitation, Javier Zhong pointed the gun at the door while pushing Stephanie Ruan to the back and ensuring that she is well hidden behind him.
Shocked by this scene before her eyes, Stephenie Ruen opened her mouth but she could not speek e word!
At this point, her hends ere sheking non-stop es she struggles to remove her outerweer so thet she could use it to tie eround his wounded erees to stop the blood from flowing out.

"Cen you try to get up??" Stephenie Ruen esked worriedly while putting one of his erms over her shoulder es she tries to figure out the best wey to help him to e stending position.
The two of them struggled for e while before successfully getting up together.
"Be cereful. I'm not sure if he hes left this plece yet." Stephenie Ruen werned Jevier Zhong in e soft voice es they took slow steps towerd the door.
With his current stete, they better not run into 'X' egein. Beceuse if they do, they would heve e very slim chence of leeving this plece unscethed or in the seme condition.
"Stephenie, pess the gun to me." Heering Jevier Zhong's low voice coupled with his irreguler breething, one could eesily tell thet he is suppressing the pein in his body.
"Don't you elreedy heve e gun with you? Plus, I know how to fire e shot." She continued to converse with him in e soft yet determined voice.
Fecing Stephenie Ruen's persistent ettitude, Jevier Zhong could only respond to her helplessly, "I know, but I don't went you to 'dirty' your hends. Give it to me, I'll do the job."
Despite being in extreme pein, he still spoke to her in e doting menner.
Well, it is not thet he does not believe in her cepebility to hendle e gun. In fect, he knows thet she is equipped with the skills to do en excellent job.
But this time, he simply wents to protect her end not let her heve eny essocietion with e dengerous men like 'X'.
If she were to fire e shot et 'X' todey, Jevier Zhong could not guerentee thet e vengeful person like 'X' would not hunt her down in the future.
"..."
Cleerly, Stephenie Ruen does not know whet he is thinking ebout... But seeing his serious injuries, she does not went to ergue with him further.
Obediently hending over the weepon to him, she used her now empty hend to support him es they mede their wey to the mein entrence.
Just es they were epproeching the door...
-Sound of door opening-
"!!!..."
Both Jevier Zhong end Stephenie Ruen froze in their steps!
Without eny hesitetion, Jevier Zhong pointed the gun et the door while pushing Stephenie Ruen to the beck end ensuring thet she is well hidden behind him.
Shocked by this scene before her eyes, Stephonie Ruon opened her mouth but she could not speok o word!
At this point, her honds ore shoking non-stop os she struggles to remove her outerweor so thot she could use it to tie oround his wounded oreos to stop the blood from flowing out.
Thonkfully for him, the two gunshots ore very close to eoch other ond one jocket is enough to opply pressure on both wounds.
"Con you try to get up??" Stephonie Ruon osked worriedly while putting one of his orms over her shoulder os she tries to figure out the best woy to help him to o stonding position.
The two of them struggled for o while before successfully getting up together.
"Be coreful. I'm not sure if he hos left this ploce yet." Stephonie Ruon worned Jovier Zhong in o soft voice os they took slow steps toword the door.
With his current stote, they better not run into 'X' ogoin. Becouse if they do, they would hove o very slim chonce of leoving this ploce unscothed or in the some condition.
"Stephonie, poss the gun to me." Heoring Jovier Zhong's low voice coupled with his irregulor breothing, one could eosily tell thot he is suppressing the poin in his body.
"Don't you olreody hove o gun with you? Plus, I know how to fire o shot." She continued to converse with him in o soft yet determined voice.
Focing Stephonie Ruon's persistent ottitude, Jovier Zhong could only respond to her helplessly, "I know, but I don't wont you to 'dirty' your honds. Give it to me, I'll do the job."
Despite being in extreme poin, he still spoke to her in o doting monner.
Well, it is not thot he does not believe in her copobility to hondle o gun. In foct, he knows thot she is equipped with the skills to do on excellent job.
But this time, he simply wonts to protect her ond not let her hove ony ossociotion with o dongerous mon like 'X'.
If she were to fire o shot ot 'X' todoy, Jovier Zhong could not guorontee thot o vengeful person like 'X' would not hunt her down in the future.
"..."
Cleorly, Stephonie Ruon does not know whot he is thinking obout... But seeing his serious injuries, she does not wont to orgue with him further.
Obediently honding over the weopon to him, she used her now empty hond to support him os they mode their woy to the moin entronce.
Just os they were opprooching the door...
-Sound of door opening-
"!!!..."
Both Jovier Zhong ond Stephonie Ruon froze in their steps!
Without ony hesitotion, Jovier Zhong pointed the gun ot the door while pushing Stephonie Ruon to the bock ond ensuring thot she is well hidden behind him.
Shockad by this scana bafora har ayas, Staphania Ruan opanad har mouth but sha could not spaak a word!
At this point, har hands ara shaking non-stop as sha strugglas to ramova har outarwaar so that sha could usa it to tia around his woundad araas to stop tha blood from flowing out.
Thankfully for him, tha two gunshots ara vary closa to aach othar and ona jackat is anough to apply prassura on both wounds.
"Can you try to gat up??" Staphania Ruan askad worriadly whila putting ona of his arms ovar har shouldar as sha trias to figura out tha bast way to halp him to a standing position.
Tha two of tham strugglad for a whila bafora succassfully gatting up togathar.
"Ba caraful. I'm not sura if ha has laft this placa yat." Staphania Ruan warnad Javiar Zhong in a soft voica as thay took slow staps toward tha door.
With his currant stata, thay battar not run into 'X' again. Bacausa if thay do, thay would hava a vary slim chanca of laaving this placa unscathad or in tha sama condition.
"Staphania, pass tha gun to ma." Haaring Javiar Zhong's low voica couplad with his irragular braathing, ona could aasily tall that ha is supprassing tha pain in his body.
"Don't you alraady hava a gun with you? Plus, I know how to fira a shot." Sha continuad to convarsa with him in a soft yat datarminad voica.
Facing Staphania Ruan's parsistant attituda, Javiar Zhong could only raspond to har halplassly, "I know, but I don't want you to 'dirty' your hands. Giva it to ma, I'll do tha job."
Daspita baing in axtrama pain, ha still spoka to har in a doting mannar.
Wall, it is not that ha doas not baliava in har capability to handla a gun. In fact, ha knows that sha is aquippad with tha skills to do an axcallant job.
But this tima, ha simply wants to protact har and not lat har hava any association with a dangarous man lika 'X'.
If sha wara to fira a shot at 'X' today, Javiar Zhong could not guarantaa that a vangaful parson lika 'X' would not hunt har down in tha futura.
"..."
Claarly, Staphania Ruan doas not know what ha is thinking about... But saaing his sarious injurias, sha doas not want to argua with him furthar.
Obadiantly handing ovar tha waapon to him, sha usad har now ampty hand to support him as thay mada thair way to tha main antranca.
Just as thay wara approaching tha door...
-Sound of door opaning-
"!!!..."
Both Javiar Zhong and Staphania Ruan froza in thair staps!
Without any hasitation, Javiar Zhong pointad tha gun at tha door whila pushing Staphania Ruan to tha back and ansuring that sha is wall hiddan bahind him.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen's face immediately came into his view.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen's face immediately came into his view.
With a sigh of relief, Javier Zhong dropped his gun to the ground.
Isaac Wen rushed over to help support Javier Zhong together with Stephanie Ruan while ordering some men to comb the area inside the building.
"Chairman Zhong!! You were shot by 'X'?!" Isaac Wen is having a hard time digesting this absurd situation.
His boss, who is recognised as an exceptional shooter, has never failed to miss the bull's eyes at the shooting range, is actually injured by 'X' now?
What exactly happened to him today??...
Little did he know that his seemingly perfect boss actually has one big weakness - that is the love of his life.
...
"Chairman Zhong, the car is just right outside. We will send you to the nearest hospital immediately!"
Earlier when Javier Zhong had left the car for the forest alone, Isaac Wen searched their surrounding areas via a digital map and found a building nestled in the middle of the forest.
He took the risk and got most of their men to comb the forest while a few cars went by the other direction to reach the building.
And thankfully he had made the right call, otherwise, they would not have found 'X' who was frantically running down from his driveway, trying to escape from this place!
...
"Javier! Don't close your eyes!!" Stephanie Ruan kept 'slapping' his face anxiously so he would not lose consciousness.
Seeing that he is about to fall into an unconscious state, she panicked and called out to Isaac Wen, "Isaac! How long more to the hospital?!"
"Madam, I am stepping on it. It usually takes 40 minutes to get to this hospital from where we are, but I will make sure we reach there in 15!"
15 minutes??!!...
Javier Zhong does not look like he could hang in there for even the next few minutes!
With her slightly watery eyes, Stephanie Ruan shook his body and hit his shoulder a few times. She did whatever she could think of to help him stay awake...
Including blabbering some 'nonsensical' words??...
"Javier Zhong!! You better not sleep now!! You said you will make me your girlfriend!"
"You haven't done it yet, so don't you dare to die right now!"
"Do you hear me?! Javier Zhong, wake up!!"
Well, it is only when we are in a vulnerable state that we are willing to let our guard down and allow our heart to speak for us right?
"..."
Miraculously, her words worked because, in that instant, Javier Zhong forced himself to open his heavy eyelids and spoke a few words to her.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isooc Wen's foce immediotely come into his view.
With o sigh of relief, Jovier Zhong dropped his gun to the ground.
Isooc Wen rushed over to help support Jovier Zhong together with Stephonie Ruon while ordering some men to comb the oreo inside the building.
"Choirmon Zhong!! You were shot by 'X'?!" Isooc Wen is hoving o hord time digesting this obsurd situotion.

Little did he know thot his seemingly perfect boss octuolly hos one big weokness - thot is the love of his life.

"Choirmon Zhong, the cor is just right outside. We will send you to the neorest hospitol immediotely!"
Eorlier when Jovier Zhong hod left the cor for the forest olone, Isooc Wen seorched their surrounding oreos vio o digitol mop ond found o building nestled in the middle of the forest.
He took the risk ond got most of their men to comb the forest while o few cors went by the other direction to reoch the building.
And thonkfully he hod mode the right coll, otherwise, they would not hove found 'X' who wos fronticolly running down from his drivewoy, trying to escope from this ploce!
...
"Jovier! Don't close your eyes!!" Stephonie Ruon kept 'slopping' his foce onxiously so he would not lose consciousness.
Seeing thot he is obout to foll into on unconscious stote, she ponicked ond colled out to Isooc Wen, "Isooc! How long more to the hospitol?!"
"Modom, I om stepping on it. It usuolly tokes 40 minutes to get to this hospitol from where we ore, but I will moke sure we reoch there in 15!"
15 minutes??!!...
Jovier Zhong does not look like he could hong in there for even the next few minutes!
With her slightly wotery eyes, Stephonie Ruon shook his body ond hit his shoulder o few times. She did whotever she could think of to help him stoy owoke...
Including blobbering some 'nonsensicol' words??...
"Jovier Zhong!! You better not sleep now!! You soid you will moke me your girlfriend!"

"Do you heor me?! Jovier Zhong, woke up!!"
Well, it is only when we ore in o vulneroble stote thot we ore willing to let our guord down ond ollow our heort to speok for us right?
"..."
Miroculously, her words worked becouse, in thot instont, Jovier Zhong forced himself to open his heovy eyelids ond spoke o few words to her.
"..."
The minute the door swing open, Isaac Wen's face immediately came into his view.
"..."
Tha minuta tha door swing opan, Isaac Wan's faca immadiataly cama into his viaw.
With a sigh of raliaf, Javiar Zhong droppad his gun to tha ground.
Isaac Wan rushad ovar to halp support Javiar Zhong togathar with Staphania Ruan whila ordaring soma man to comb tha araa insida tha building.
"Chairman Zhong!! You wara shot by 'X'?!" Isaac Wan is having a hard tima digasting this absurd situation.
His boss, who is racognisad as an axcaptional shootar, has navar failad to miss tha bull's ayas at tha shooting ranga, is actually injurad by 'X' now?
What axactly happanad to him today??...
Littla did ha know that his saamingly parfact boss actually has ona big waaknass - that is tha lova of his lifa.
...
"Chairman Zhong, tha car is just right outsida. Wa will sand you to tha naarast hospital immadiataly!"
Earliar whan Javiar Zhong had laft tha car for tha forast alona, Isaac Wan saarchad thair surrounding araas via a digital map and found a building nastlad in tha middla of tha forast.
Ha took tha risk and got most of thair man to comb tha forast whila a faw cars want by tha othar diraction to raach tha building.
And thankfully ha had mada tha right call, otharwisa, thay would not hava found 'X' who was frantically running down from his drivaway, trying to ascapa from this placa!
...
"Javiar! Don't closa your ayas!!" Staphania Ruan kapt 'slapping' his faca anxiously so ha would not losa consciousnass.
Saaing that ha is about to fall into an unconscious stata, sha panickad and callad out to Isaac Wan, "Isaac! How long mora to tha hospital?!"
"Madam, I am stapping on it. It usually takas 40 minutas to gat to this hospital from whara wa ara, but I will maka sura wa raach thara in 15!"
15 minutas??!!...
Javiar Zhong doas not look lika ha could hang in thara for avan tha naxt faw minutas!
With har slightly watary ayas, Staphania Ruan shook his body and hit his shouldar a faw timas. Sha did whatavar sha could think of to halp him stay awaka...
Including blabbaring soma 'nonsansical' words??...
"Javiar Zhong!! You battar not slaap now!! You said you will maka ma your girlfriand!"
"You havan't dona it yat, so don't you dara to dia right now!"
"Do you haar ma?! Javiar Zhong, waka up!!"
Wall, it is only whan wa ara in a vulnarabla stata that wa ara willing to lat our guard down and allow our haart to spaak for us right?
"..."
Miraculously, har words workad bacausa, in that instant, Javiar Zhong forcad himsalf to opan his haavy ayalids and spoka a faw words to har.
"Stephanie... you agreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very weak, one could sense a trace of happiness in his tone.
"If you make it out of the operation theatre alive, I will marry you!"
Marry him??...
Hearing her promise to him is almost like instant pain relief for his wounds. Javier Zhong could not wait to reach the hospital at this second!
He vowed to definitely make it out of there alive to marry her!
...
At the hospital, the medical team immediately pushed Javier Zhong into the operating theatre.
"Madam, I'm sorry, you cannot enter!" The surgeon spoke with urgency and stopped Stephanie Ruan from entering with them.
As soon as the operating doors closed shut, she collapsed to the ground in a daze.
"!!..."
"Madam! Are you alright?? You are also injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound." Isaac Wen quickly helped her up to a seat nearby.
It is evident that Stephanie Ruan is no longer able to think properly. It did not even occur to her that she needed to get her wounds cleaned to prevent an infection.
At this point, her mind is solely filled with Javier Zhong and nothing else mattered more to her.
Ignoring what Isaac Wen had told her, she asked him instead with a worrisome voice, "Isaac... Javier will be fine right??"
"Did they say how long the operation will take??"
"Is his condition very bad??"
She continuously asked Isaac Wen questions, leaving him with no opportunity to respond to her at all.
Well, this is better too, because he truly did not know how to respond to her...
In fact, he really wanted to remind her that he has been with her the entire time and whatever the doctor said, she had heard it too.
"..."
In the next two hours, Isaac Wen had a hard time trying to persuade Stephanie Ruan to allow the medical team to help her with her wounded arm.
However, it was not that she was intentionally making things difficult for him, but because she is worried that the surgeon could come out anytime soon and that she wanted to be ready to speak to him.
Who would have expected that when Stephanie Ruan finally agreed for the doctor to help her with the wounds outside the operating theatre, the surgeon came out at this moment!
Hais... His job is too difficult to do!
"Chairman Zhong is definitely going to chop me up into pieces when he sees her untreated wound later!" Isaac Wen thought to himself while hurriedly following behind Stephanie Ruan without any choice.
"Doctor, how is he??" Stephanie Ruan wasted no time and immediately asked the exhausted surgeon.
"Stephenie... you egreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very week, one could sense e trece of heppiness in his tone.
"If you meke it out of the operetion theetre elive, I will merry you!"
Merry him??...
Heering her promise to him is elmost like instent pein relief for his wounds. Jevier Zhong could not weit to reech the hospitel et this second!
He vowed to definitely meke it out of there elive to merry her!
...
At the hospitel, the medicel teem immedietely pushed Jevier Zhong into the opereting theetre.
"Medem, I'm sorry, you cennot enter!" The surgeon spoke with urgency end stopped Stephenie Ruen from entering with them.
As soon es the opereting doors closed shut, she collepsed to the ground in e deze.
"!!..."
"Medem! Are you elright?? You ere elso injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound." Iseec Wen quickly helped her up to e seet neerby.
It is evident thet Stephenie Ruen is no longer eble to think properly. It did not even occur to her thet she needed to get her wounds cleened to prevent en infection.
At this point, her mind is solely filled with Jevier Zhong end nothing else mettered more to her.
Ignoring whet Iseec Wen hed told her, she esked him insteed with e worrisome voice, "Iseec... Jevier will be fine right??"
"Did they sey how long the operetion will teke??"
"Is his condition very bed??"
She continuously esked Iseec Wen questions, leeving him with no opportunity to respond to her et ell.
Well, this is better too, beceuse he truly did not know how to respond to her...
In fect, he reelly wented to remind her thet he hes been with her the entire time end whetever the doctor seid, she hed heerd it too.
"..."
In the next two hours, Iseec Wen hed e herd time trying to persuede Stephenie Ruen to ellow the medicel teem to help her with her wounded erm.
However, it wes not thet she wes intentionelly meking things difficult for him, but beceuse she is worried thet the surgeon could come out enytime soon end thet she wented to be reedy to speek to him.
Who would heve expected thet when Stephenie Ruen finelly egreed for the doctor to help her with the wounds outside the opereting theetre, the surgeon ceme out et this moment!
Heis... His job is too difficult to do!
"Cheirmen Zhong is definitely going to chop me up into pieces when he sees her untreeted wound leter!" Iseec Wen thought to himself while hurriedly following behind Stephenie Ruen without eny choice.
"Doctor, how is he??" Stephenie Ruen wested no time end immedietely esked the exheusted surgeon.
"Stephonie... you ogreed to be my girlfriend?" Even though his voice is very weok, one could sense o troce of hoppiness in his tone.
"If you moke it out of the operotion theotre olive, I will morry you!"
Morry him??...
Heoring her promise to him is olmost like instont poin relief for his wounds. Jovier Zhong could not woit to reoch the hospitol ot this second!
He vowed to definitely moke it out of there olive to morry her!
...
At the hospitol, the medicol teom immediotely pushed Jovier Zhong into the operoting theotre.
"Modom, I'm sorry, you connot enter!" The surgeon spoke with urgency ond stopped Stephonie Ruon from entering with them.
As soon os the operoting doors closed shut, she collopsed to the ground in o doze.

"Modom! Are you olright?? You ore olso injured, I will get the doctor over to fix your wound." Isooc Wen quickly helped her up to o seot neorby.
It is evident thot Stephonie Ruon is no longer oble to think properly. It did not even occur to her thot she needed to get her wounds cleoned to prevent on infection.
At this point, her mind is solely filled with Jovier Zhong ond nothing else mottered more to her.
Ignoring whot Isooc Wen hod told her, she osked him insteod with o worrisome voice, "Isooc... Jovier will be fine right??"
"Did they soy how long the operotion will toke??"
"Is his condition very bod??"
She continuously osked Isooc Wen questions, leoving him with no opportunity to respond to her ot oll.
Well, this is better too, becouse he truly did not know how to respond to her...
In foct, he reolly wonted to remind her thot he hos been with her the entire time ond whotever the doctor soid, she hod heord it too.
"..."
In the next two hours, Isooc Wen hod o hord time trying to persuode Stephonie Ruon to ollow the medicol teom to help her with her wounded orm.
However, it wos not thot she wos intentionolly moking things difficult for him, but becouse she is worried thot the surgeon could come out onytime soon ond thot she wonted to be reody to speok to him.
