Chapter 684: Mo Jingshen Tried His Best to Suppress His Killing Desire…
The car in the distance had begun to try to change lanes and K was still confronting those people in the car. Seeing Mo Jingshen had taken Ji Nuan safely out of the car, those SUVs were ready to attack the car.
Ji Nuan leaned against Mo Jingshen’s chest and slowly opened her eyes. Although she had no strength to move, she felt very safe in his arms. She had thought that she would die here today, but now she had been rescued. Making sure she was out of danger, she closed her eyes and heaved a breath of relief.
Mo Jingshen looked down at the wounds on her head and body, her swollen face, the bloodstains on her back, and the blood oozing from the corners of her mouth. Her hair fell in disorder and she was tortured beyond recognition.
His hand gently touched her face. He couldn’t imagine what she had been through in the past hours.
Ji Nuan almost fainted because of the huge fear and pain that she had experienced in the previous hours. Her eyes were open but looked at him out of focus. Gazing at the man who saved her out of the abyss, she was convinced again how powerful this seemingly gentle man was.
Just like the Mo Jingshen she saw in Cambodia three years ago, he was always so powerful and sensible. His power came from his accurate judgment, XI Base, and his men. When this man put on a suit, he was the well-known CEO Mo, and when he took off suit, he was a cold decision-maker, but he was always her Mo Jingshen, the man she loved.
He was willing to do anything for her, and so was she for him.
In the moment of life and death, Ji Nuan suddenly understood his love for her. At this moment, she just gazed at him motionlessly, felt waves of dizziness, and couldn’t speak a single word.
“Ji Nuan, speak.” Mo Jingshen had guessed that she would be wounded by Atuta but didn’t expect her to be injured so badly. He had found her as fast as he could, but Atuta was such a lunatic without a trace of humanity.
Seeing the blood on the corner of her mouth and her head, Mo Jingshen tried his best to suppress his killing desire. Seeing her remain silent, he was about to carry her up.
“Mo Jingshen…” Ji Nuan slowly said and her voice was even smaller than a mosquito’s.
Mo Jingshen paused and looked down at her, thinking that the way he picked her up hurt her. “There will be an ambulance soon. I will send you to the hospital. Tell me where it hurts.”
His voice was very low as if he was afraid to frighten the her who was so fragile and scarred now or maybe his own self that was hidden in his heart and almost went mad.
Even when they were in Cambodia, Ji Nuan wasn’t injured so badly. At that time, although she was kicked by Dali, her hand was scalded, and her head was pointed at with a gun, he had shot Dali to death to avenge her.
Mo Jingshen struggled to keep calm. Ji Nuan gently shook her head in his arms, buried her head into his s.h.i.+rt, and breathed in his clean, refres.h.i.+ng, cool yet so warm smell.
“Sorry, because of me, you were threatened by them and risked your life… I should have been more careful… Sorry… I shouldn’t have come to Los Angeles…”
Mo Jingshen’s dark, placid eyes immediately darkened. “It’s not your fault. They would have targeted others even if you were not by my side. My parents are also in Los Angeles. Even if you had stayed in Hai City all the time, they would resort to worse means. For those people, they will try every possible means to get what they want from me.”
Seeing the guilty expression on her face, he cupped her head with hands and bent to kiss her forehead, whispering, “You came here for business. As the CEO of MN Group, it’s impossible that you stay in Hai City all the time. You haven’t implicated me. It’s my fault. I shouldn’t have put you in danger. You’re not to blame, Nuan Nuan, just tell me where it hurts. Don’t keep it from me and don’t blame yourself. Do you hear me?”
Ji Nuan smiled feebly. “I should have learned how to use a gun from Feng Ling… I didn’t learn self-defense well… If I were stronger, I could have helped you instead of implicating you…”
Mo Jingshen frowned and hugged her tightly. He kissed her hair, the bloodstain on her forehead and her ears, saying gently, “I don’t need you to be strong. Just be yourself. I love what makes you now. You don’t have to change or learn anything. Just enjoy a peaceful life. I’d rather you live in peace forever and never get involved in guns, kidnappings, and the like. Be a good girl. Don’t think too much.”
Ji Nuan’s face was aching. Maybe it was because the wind on the road was too cold and strong. She had no idea how horrible she looked with half of her ghastly pale face covered with blood. She put her head against his chest and said hoa.r.s.ely, “If… I’m killed by them today… will I go back to where we first met… or… there is only one chance for me to go back to you again… and I’ll… lose you forever…”
“What are you talking about?” Mo Jingshen felt his heart suddenly missed a beat. Seeing Ji Nuan trembling in his arms from pain and coldness, he took off his coat and covered her body with it.
Just then, two cars drove over from behind, which seemed to be the same as the cars of the XI Base. Mo Jingshen was about to carry Ji Nuan up, when he suddenly paused, looked suspiciously at those cars only several meters away, and glanced at their plate numbers.
According to their plate numbers, those cars belonged to XI Base indeed, but there were faint traces of blood on their black wheels.
There was no change in Mo Jingshen’s expression, but at the moment he carried Ji Nuan up, the door of the two cars suddenly opened and two of Atuta’s men jumped out and pointed their guns at him.
K and the other men were busy fighting with Atuta and didn’t expect their reinforcement to had been intercepted by the other subordinates of Atuta who had come into XI Base’s cars to catch them off guard.
Seeing the two men who had jumped off the cars raised their guns, Ji Nuan leaned stiffly against Mo Jingshen’s chest.
