Chapter 2479

Baili Xia wanted to reach out and touch, but was afraid of bringing bacteria to his wound.

If she hadn’t texted him today, perhaps he could still be safe with the Bei Family, and nothing would have happened.

But now, he’s been shot because of her…

In her heart, she’s not without guilt or sadness, but Baili Xia knows that at this moment, she shouldn’t dwell on self-blame.

First, use anti-inflammatory herbs to simply kill the bacteria around the wound.

Baili Xia took a small dagger, and carefully cut open the skin around Wu Ming’s wound.

The wound is too narrow, directly extracting the bullet is simply not possible.

Now she can only widen the incision and probe the dagger inside to extract the bullet.

Even if the injury is not on her own body, just imagining it, Baili Xia knows how excruciating the pain inside must be.

Seeing her seriously extracting the bullet, Wu Ming tried to find a topic to distract himself from the discomfort.

“People like us, living days where we lick blood off the edge of a knife, it’s too normal to have wounds on the body.”

Baili Xia nodded, only then feeling somewhat relieved.

“However, speaking of today, the men in black we encountered didn’t seem simple.”

After a while, seeing Wu Ming’s face growing paler due to endurance, Baili Xia attempted to divert his attention, speaking softly.

“Not just their attire, but their skills are quite different from typical assassins.”

“Mm.” Wu Ming nodded, fully agreeing with her assessment.

However, beads of sweat on his forehead were growing larger.

“I’ve clashed with them, and found them very similar to people from that mysterious organization,” Baili Xia added.

“Perhaps… they actually are.” But Wu Ming couldn’t yet be completely certain.

Their killing intent, without a trace of emotion, and the speed of each move were almost incredibly precise.

Without professional training, it would be impossible to achieve.

Baili Xia wanted to say something more but seeing her hands gradually stained with blood, her heart suddenly trembled.

Looking up at Wu Ming’s eyes, slowly losing consciousness, she urgently asked, “Wu Ming, how are you feeling? Is it very uncomfortable?”

Though in her heart, Wu Ming’s physical condition is far better than the average person.

Still, no matter how strong, he’s just a human being, and his blood is finite.

So much has already been lost just now, and extracting the bullet has caused even more bleeding. Baili Xia is truly worried he might not withstand it.

“What? Doubt… my… abilities?” Wu Ming wanted to casually raise an eyebrow at her.

But unexpectedly, even the simple act of raising an eyebrow took such effort.

Even though his eyelids felt heavy now, he still managed to squeeze out a faint smile at Baili Xia.

Baili Xia understood his intentions, biting her lip forcefully: “Just hold on, I’ve touched the bullet now, soon it’ll be out.”

Wu Ming only nodded, having little strength left to respond to her words.

Pain, excruciating pain kept gnawing at his nerves.

But he couldn’t collapse; the assassins in black might find them anytime, and collapsing could mean doom for them both.

“Kid…” Uncertain how long it had been, perhaps just a few seconds later.

Wu Ming’s lips trembled slightly, hoarsely calling out.
