Chapter 2474

“Is it because just now, in the end, you saved me…”

Baili Xia’s heart ached, finally understanding that the black-clad assailant’s shot at her was truly accurate.

But Wu Ming moved quickly, using his own body to block the bullet in front of her.

In an instant, Baili Xia’s heart was completely engulfed by self-blame.

“Why did you take the bullet for me? How could you be so foolish?”

She had caused him to be seriously injured without even knowing it.

He had carried her so far, with blood flowing from his body without knowing how much was lost.

When Baili Xia discovered the wound, Wu Ming seemed to lose his strength, suddenly feeling a wave of fatigue.

He took a few steps back, leaned against a tree, and sat down.

He looked up at Baili Xia, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

“You pay me a salary, remember?”

Baili Xia shook her head, a mist forming in her eyes.

This guy, still joking at a time like this.

Could she afford to pay his salary?

Wu Ming acted like she couldn’t tell he was sent by Uncle to protect her?

But he protected her with his life, leaving her with nothing to repay him with.

Unconsciously, two clear tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

“You’re really foolish, why do you have to do this…”

Wu Ming forced a pale, weak smile onto his face, his eyes somewhat dazed.

“Whether it’s worth it, that’s for me to decide, silly girl.”

Seeing Wu Ming’s gradually fading vitality, Baili Xia grew even more anxious.

She reached out to lift his arm, placing it over her shoulder, wanting to help him up.

“Wu Ming, let’s go, I’ll take you to the hospital now.”

“No way!” Wu Ming shook his head, not getting up. “If we go out now, they’ll find us.”

He was indeed somewhat exhausted now and needed to rest.

“Let me rest for a while, then we’ll leave.”

Wu Ming placed his large hand over Baili Xia’s, gently patting it.

“But…” Watching the continuous flow of blood, Baili Xia felt truly panicked.

If this continued, he might lose his life.

Why didn’t Wu Ming tell her earlier, so she could have bandaged him sooner?

She blamed herself too for not being more observant and not noticing the differences in the black clothes.

Like Uncle, he wouldn’t admit to being injured.

Wu Ming raised his hand, holding Baili Xia’s soft little hand in his palm.

“Silly girl, going out now, isn’t it like handing yourself over to them?”

Baili Xia shook her head: “I’m not afraid, staying here, you’ll die.”

Although the wound wasn’t on a vital organ, leaving the bullet in and continuous bleeding like this, in less than an hour, he might go into shock.

She had nothing with her; even if she dared to remove the bullet, she had no confidence.

How to disinfect? How to stop the bleeding? How to bandage it?

Wu Ming looked up at her, the light in his eyes growing more complicated.

He truly enjoyed the feeling of being cared for by this girl, even though he knew she was merely anxious about “Wu Ming.”

“Those black-clad people don’t seem like they’re from the Bei Family. Remember what they did in Jin City?”

Baili Xia raised her eyebrows, something about Jin City?

It was also the black-clad people who had repeatedly targeted Uncle in Jin City.

In an instant, she understood Wu Ming’s implication.

Could it be that the black-clad people wanted to capture her to threaten Uncle?

At this thought, she felt even more shocked.

If today’s setup was orchestrated by Bei Zicheng and Nangong Yun, then they were connected to that mysterious organization.

But there was no time to ponder this now; Wu Ming’s injuries were the most urgent matter.

She lowered her head, looking at his wound, her expression grim: “This injury must be treated immediately.”
