Qin Zhi’ai’s blood flow and heart rate seemed to stop at the same time.
She didn’t have any response to the situation. Her brain hadn’t reacted to the loud noise yet. She had understood what that loud noise was before Gu Yusheng had pushed her hard. She stumbled back a few steps and looked up at Gu Yusheng before she could steady herself.
There was a long cut on his shoulder blade. The blood oozed out and dyed half of his s.h.i.+rt red in an alarmingly short time.
One of the guys in a black suit laying on the floor had grabbed a knife from somewhere and rushed recklessly towards Gu Yusheng.
This b.l.o.o.d.y and violent scene was one that seemed like it only happened in action TV shows. Qin Zhi’ai had been shocked and scared to watch it in real life.
The eyes of the guy in the black suit held fire. He slashed the knife fiercely at a quick speed.
Gu Yusheng had a quick response. He was able to dodge the slashes, but it looked dangerous, like he was close to being hurt.
Qin Zhi’ai’s heart raced so badly that she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her throat as she watched them fighting. Her legs felt wobbly, and her breaths became heavy. She looked around and moved back two steps to lean against the wall. Even that could barely hold her up.
Gu Yusheng looked sharp. Even though he was hurt, he looked like he wasn’t in pain at all. He still moved fast and swiftly. After they had fought for a minute, Gu Yusheng suddenly lifted his foot up. He was so fast that Qin Zhi’ai didn’t see where he was trying to kick. There was a loud noise in the room. The knife in the black-suited guy’s hand dropped on the floor. Gu Yusheng b.u.t.ted the guy with the handle of the knife. The guy was smashed to the floor and stopped moving.
He looked like he was afraid someone would pick the knife up and hurt him again. He lifted his foot up and kicked the knife away from another black-suited guy next to him. The knife was kicked to the bathroom door. Gu Yusheng bent down and picked up the blazer that he had tossed on the floor when he had joined the fight. He turned around and walked to Qin Zhi’ai.
Qin Zhi’ai was so shocked that she didn’t notice Gu Yusheng was already standing in front of her. She stood there in a daze.
Gu Yusheng waved his hand in front of her but saw no reaction from her. He grabbed her wrist, opened the door, and dragged her out.
Qin Zhi’ai didn’t recover from the daze until they got back to the car. She unconsciously turned around to check Gu Yusheng. He looked so calm that it seemed like he hadn’t been hurt. He turned the wheel to back the car out.
“Your…” Qin Zhi’ai noticed her voice was very shaky when she tried to talk. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down before she continued, “Wound?”
Gu Yusheng tilted his head slightly to take a look at her. He didn’t say anything back. He hit the gas and drove onto the main road towards the house. After driving for about ten minutes, they happened to pa.s.s a city hospital. Qin Zhi’ai yelled out, “Hospital!”
Gu Yusheng didn’t step on the brakes, nor did he have any intention to slow down. In the blink of an eye, the hospital disappeared from the rearview mirror.
While they waited at the traffic light, Gu Yusheng searched for a cigarette in the pocket of his pants. He bit it between his teeth while he searched for a lighter in the pocket, feeling around but not finding it. He suddenly remembered that he had left it at the Tingyin Tea House, so he opened the glove compartment and looked for a new one. The traffic light turned green; he had to look at the road. He had one hand on the steering wheel and the other hand feeling around in the compartment.
