Upon hearing this, Hugh Dong also looked serious and said analytically, “You don’t have many enemies, the only enemies are the Dong Family and The Bort Family .”
“So you’re saying they arranged the crash?” Christine White composed the chain of her bag on her shoulder.
Hugh Dong narrowed his eyes, “Most likely.”
“But why? Why at this time?” Christine White was puzzled, “If they want my life, why didn’t they want it before, instead they rushed me at this time, did …”
“What did you think of?” Hugh Dong asked.
Christine White’s mouth moved and she was about to speak when her eyes suddenly saw an extra person behind him.
A bloody man.
It’s the driver!
Only to see that the driver had woken up at some point and gotten out of the car.
With a grim face, he slowly raised something in his hand and was looking over with a fierce look in his eyes.
With Hugh Dong in the way, Christine White couldn’t see what was in the driver’s hand, but her intuition told her it must not be anything good.
She lifted her breath and hastily warned, “Hugh Dong, watch out!”
Hugh Dong was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening from Christine White’s worried look, and violently spun around to kick behind him.
Unfortunately, the kick missed.
That driver ducked down hard to avoid Hugh Dong’s leg as soon as he kicked it.
More than that, while avoiding it, the driver grinned and raised his arm towards Hugh Dong, aiming something in his hand at his chest.
Bang!
A gunshot.
Hugh Dong felt a sharp pain in his chest, and some kind of hot liquid flowed out from it.
He slowly looked down and saw that a finger-sized hole had broken open in his chest, and gurgling blood was flowing out of the hole without stopping.
No wonder it hurts so much, he’s been shot …
After Hugh Dong smiled to himself with a ghastly white face, he could no longer stand and fell to the ground with a thud.
Down with him was the driver who fired the gun.
The driver, who was already strong after that car accident, had just fought to avoid it once more, and such a drastic movement made him feel like his insides were shattering.
He wouldn’t have been able to stand up and fire the shot if he hadn’t been holding on so strongly.
At this moment, after seeing Hugh Dong get shot and fall down, he gave Christine White a regretful look and couldn’t hold on any longer, spitting out blood before collapsing as well.
This turn of events shocked all the onlookers present.
For a moment, there were screams.
Christine White also finally came back to her senses amidst all these screams, she looked at Hugh Dong on the ground who didn’t know whether he was alive or dead with a pale face, and after clenching her fists and screaming, she stumbled over and sat down on her knees beside Hugh Dong, reaching out and touching Hugh Dong’s face with a trembling hand.
“Hugh Dong? Hugh Dong?” she called out twice to Hugh Dong in a panicked attempt to wake the man up.
However, Hugh Dong was motionless and unresponsive, as if he was really dead.
Christine White became even more frightened and, crying out, she picked up Hugh Dong’s upper body and cradled him in her arms, holding down the spot where Hugh Dong had been shot with her other hand to try to stop the bleeding.
But it was no use, no matter how hard she tried to block the wound, the blood was still pouring out, staining her hand through her fingers, and reddening the clothes she was wearing.
She could even feel the temperature of the blood slowly getting cooler, and the fear in her heart that was cooler followed the infinite magnification.
“Hugh Dong, don’t scare me … You hang in there, don’t die, do you hear me? Don’t ever die!” Christine White broke down and bawled, while crying, she begged the onlookers for help, “Please, please, please save him, send us to a hospital, please …”
The onlookers were moved as they watched her pleading.
But no one moved nor did anyone speak up and agree to take them to the hospital; after all, no one wanted to get into all this trouble.
Just as Christine White was feeling deep despair over the indifference of these people, she suddenly heard someone yell, “Ambulance coming!”
An ambulance?
Christine White’s eyes erupted with hope and she smiled with excitement as she heard the ambulance car approaching.
It’s saved. Hugh Dong is saved!
“Christine?” the ambulance stopped and Ives Norton got out of the ambulance in his white coat and came down to see Christine White.
Christine White heard his voice, and as if she had grasped some lifeline, she cried eagerly, “Ives, quick, save Hugh Dong, save him!”
“Hugh Dong?” it took Ives Norton a moment to look down at the man in her arms, his pupils shrinking at the sight of the wound on Hugh Dong’s chest, he came up quickly to give Hugh Dong first aid.
Christine White, afraid of disturbing him, got up and took a step back, standing nervously watching him.
Two minutes later, Hugh Dong yelled at the ambulance, “Stretcher, plasma!”
Soon, several paramedics came with a stretcher, and after giving Hugh Dong a temporary plasma transfusion, they lifted the man onto the stretcher and ran toward the ambulance.
Christine White glanced at Hugh Dong with immense concern, then grabbed Ives Norton by the arm, “Ives, Hugh Dong is in your hands, you must save him! Please!”
“Don’t worry, I’m not going to let him die, well without further ado, I’m going to get in the car first, so call Baird and tell him something’s happened to Hugh Dong.” Ives Norton patted the back of Christine White’s hand soothingly, then drew his arm back and flew into the ambulance.
With a whimper, the ambulance faded away and took Christine White’s overwhelming worry with it.
She looked at the streak of blood on the ground, only to feel cold all over, her body was still trembling even now, even a pair of hands, shaking so much that she could barely hold the cell phone, so much so that it took a while before she could make the call.
“Hello?” Baird Lane’s cool voice came from the other end of the line.
Christine White’s nose was sore, and the tears, which she had managed to stop, were about to flow again, “It’s me …”
She shuddered.
Baird Lane hmmmed, “I know, what happened to your voice?”
“I …” Christine White gripped her cell phone tightly in both hands, “Something’s wrong …”
“What?” Baird Lane pranced out from behind his office chair and busied himself with the question, “What happened?”
“No … It wasn’t me who had the accident, it was Hugh Dong!”Christine White took a deep breath and finally got her words organized.
Baird Lane had just about breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it wasn’t her who was in trouble, but then his heart lifted again when he heard her say that it was Hugh Dong, “What happened to him?”
“He’s been shot!” Christine White couldn’t hold back her tears and they flowed again.
Baird Lane’s brain went wong when he heard this, and it took several seconds for him to respond, his volume rising, “What do you mean, Nigel’s been shot?”
“Yes, I’m near the hospital now, Hugh Dong has just been taken away by ambulance, come here quickly.” Christine White said helplessly.
With all that had happened, she had no idea what to do on her own.
“I’ll be right over!” A chill rose around Baird Lane as he hung up the phone, pulled open a drawer, grabbed a handful of the car keys inside, and strutted out of the office.
Half an hour later.
He came outside the resuscitation room with a hurried pace and saw Christine White sitting on a cool chair in the corridor, her back slightly hunched over, both hands tightly cupping the small of her back, and a few pains on her pale little face, so he couldn’t help but lighten up his pace and ask with a slightly concerned tone, “What’s wrong with you?”
Christine White rose from her chair at the sound of his voice and squeezed weakly, “You’re here?”
Baird Lane nodded, “You have a stomach ache?”
Christine White bites her lip and hmms a little.
“I’ll get the doctor.” Baird Lane said, about to turn around.
Christine White pulled him back, “No need, it should be because when I was just doing the formalities for Hugh Dong, I ran too fast and pulled my stomach, that’s why it hurts, it’s fine, it’ll be fine in a while.”
“Really?” Baird Lane frowned at her stomach.
