Chapter 883: Start Of The War

Xiao Wu was really angry; these people had no idea how to behave. How could they even swarm around the mansion like this? What were they even thinking? Did they think that there was not enough messing around happening? He glared at the underlings and shouted, "You all go and bring a stretcher. What are you doing here, standing like onlookers? Are you waiting to see a drama happening?"

Xiao Wu’s words were like a command, and the underlings, who were about to rush toward the mansion, immediately turned on their feet and headed toward the hospital. Soon, they brought the stretcher with them and with Wang Guofu helping them, they were able to open a path and rush inside the mansion with the stretcher. However, as soon as they squeezed inside the mansion with the stretcher, they saw Bai Meiyue walk outside the mansion on her own two feet without showing any sign of pain at all.

Beside her was Yan Wanning, who was helping Bai Meiyue.

Though Bai Meiyue was frowning, the expression on her face was quite relaxed. It seemed like she was not the one who was going to give birth to a child; if anything, she looked like she was going on a stroll. On the other hand, it was the people around her who seemed to be more anxious than her. They were chattering in her ears and telling her what she should and should not do; most of them were old women who were telling her what she needed to know.

Of course, Bai Meiyue did not listen to a thing that everyone was telling her. She knew instinctively what was going on and what she needed to do. She walked toward the stretcher and calmly lay down on it without listening to the murmurs that were going on around her. Once she lay down on the stretcher, the underlings took her to the hospital at once.

The hospital had received the information long ago, and Shen Zhen had been waiting at the hospital for a long time. Seeing Bai Meiyue being carried over by the underlings. Shen Zhen, who was sitting in the wheelchair, stood up and trotted over. She touched Bai Meiyue’s belly and asked, "Did your water break? When did it break? How far along are the contractions? Do you feel any discomfort?"

"The contractions are irregular for the time being. But I am getting frequent contractions."

Bai Meiyue sucked in a breath. She did not feel much stomach pain and was very relaxed. But she had given birth once in her past life, and she knew what she needed to do. She knew that the labour process had just begun. There was still time for her to be pushed into the labour room.

"It’s okay; if the contractions are irregular, then there is nothing wrong. It’s okay; take it easy. Sister Meiyue, you can do it. You have already survived all kinds of tribulations and hardships; this is nothing compared to that. You will be able to see your child very soon." Shen Zhen stood on the side of Bai Meiyue’s stretcher. She grabbed her hand and cheered her up in a low voice. Bai Meiyue raised her head and looked at Shen Zhen’s pale face. She nodded in relief before saying to her, "I know. But I want you to keep me awake; I need to learn the process of giving birth."

She wanted to learn everything she could so that she could help Shen Zhen when she gave birth.

Shen Zhen’s eyes flashed, and she shook her head. "I know that you want to help me, but I am afraid I am not strong enough to give a natural birth. I can at most give birth via C-section, that too if I push through all these months." Shen Zhen knew her body very well. She was too weak, and she could never push the child out of her womb; the only way for her to survive childbirth was to have an operation.

After Bai Meiyue was carried into the clinic, the nurses hurried over; they helped move Bai Meiyue to the nursing bed and closed the curtains around her.

Because Bai Meiyue’s uterine contractions were not yet regular, and the labour pain and the labour process had not just begun, there was no need for her to be taken to the delivery room. She just needed to lie down on the nursing bed and wait for her cervix to open.

The nursing bed was on the first floor, and the delivery room was on the second floor, and there were too many people on the first floor. Shen Zhen frowned. She took Shen Zhen’s medical records and started to drive people outside. With all the people crowded into the clinic, how could Bai Meiyue feel safe and at ease waiting for delivery? She needed to feel security and comfort in such a situation.

"Go away." When Shen Zhen thought about Bai Meiyue’s condition, she immediately waved the crowd away. "Yueyue’s condition is not good at the moment; you all should go away."

However, as soon as she sent the crowd away, Lu Yu came running over. He walked inside the clinic and asked in a low voice, "Doctor Shen, how is Bai Meiyue’s condition? Can she hold on for a bit longer?"

"What?" Shen Zhen turned and glared at the man. "What do you mean by whether or not she can hold on? Of course, Bai Meiyue has to hold on even if she cannot hold on! The labour has not started; she has no other choice but to keep holding on."

Lu Yu opened his mouth, as if realising that he had said something wrong. He pursed his lips and scratched his scalp. He glanced at the curtains that were hiding Bai Meiyue behind them and turned around to walk away. He did not choose to talk with Bai Meiyue at that moment. He wanted to tell the truth to Bai Meiyue, but when he thought about what kind of condition she was in at the moment, he could only purse his lips and keep the matter to his heart.

Xiao Wu rushed toward Lu Yu and asked worriedly, "What should we do? Not only did those bastards not leave, but they also gathered outside with so many ability users. Is it possible that they are thinking of attacking the safe base?"

With a murderous expression on Lu Yu’s face, he stretched out his hand to harden his heart. He said to Xiao Wu, "If they are waiting for us to retreat and surrender, then they are in the wrong. I will make sure that all of them die a sorry death."

He asked Lu Yin to disappear, but that woman actually stayed where she was and even caused a stir. He could not understand what was going on in the mind of his sister; he had clearly asked her to leave and she in turn came back with a bunch of ability users. Did she really think that she could win this fight if she were to come back with so many ability users?

"But if we start a war now, then it will alert Bai Meiyue sooner or later; what if she is disturbed? Let’s stay neutral for the time being, as for fighting back... let’s keep this matter for later."

Bai Meiyue was in a critical period for the time being. They could not start a fight and hope that Bai Meiyue would not notice. Since Lu Yin had returned, he had a feeling that she must have some kind of plan. Or maybe there was a spy. Because it was too much of a coincidence for Lu Yin to return just when Bai Meiyue ended up in the clinic.

Xiao Wu hurriedly stopped Lu Yu from making a fuss. He considered that Lu Yin only had a thousand or two thousand ability users but according to the spies’ report, Lu Yin had expanded her team to three thousand somehow after going away. They had no idea what kind of promise that woman had given to the ability users but they were brought to the safe base somehow. There was no problem with these ability users but it would take a long time for them to kill three thousand ability users.

For them to kill so many ability users, Xiao Wu was worried that it would not be an easy task.

But that was not important; the one thing that was important was why in the world did she come back with Dacheng and so many ability users? Her purpose was not clear; maybe they were just resting after walking for so long? Xiao Wu believed that it was better for them to hold on and wait for Bai Meiyue to give birth before fighting with the ability users who were waiting outside the safe base. In such a critical situation, they had no time for them to fight with the ability users.
