My Dangerous Billionaire Husband

The supporting watercraft rushed over. Zhou Yao and the other Flaming Forces soldiers all reached the shore. This battle could be considered a great victory. They did not have any casualties.

The fog on the shore was very thin, and while it did not affect vision, it was already seven in the evening right now. The sky was very dark.

They were surrounded with barricades. Zhou Yao stepped onto shore, and at this moment, a strong beam of car headlights that shone over. Zhou Yao raised his head up to have a look and saw a car stop.

The car door was open, and a lithe figure appeared in his line of vision.

Zhou Yao’s gaze changed. Everything happened too quickly. He still had not thought of how to face this woman yet, but she was already there.

Leng Zhiyuan wanted to walk over, but at the edges of the boundary, the staff members blocked her, and she raised her head up to look over at Zhou Yao.

Zhou Yao nodded his head towards the staff member, and Leng Zhiyuan ran over quickly.

“Zhou Yao!” Leng Zhiyuan ran over quickly to hug him.

The warmth that he’d missed in the past few days came back into his embrace again. Zhou Yao froze before he slowly stretched his hand out to hug her shoulders, and he buried his head into her hair as he sniffed the fragrance. He was satisfied as he closed his eyes. “My body is wet and very cold. You will catch a cold if you hug me.”

Leng Zhiyuan kissed his cheek and said, “Zhou Yao, in the past few days, I have been feeling uneasy. I felt that someone was going to end up in trouble. I was so worried and so scared. I was afraid that you would be injured.”

“I am fine.” Zhou Yao hugged her even more tightly.

At this moment, Leng Zhiyuan pushed him away suddenly. She had a worried expression on her face as she looked over at Zhou Yao, and she said, “Zhou Yao, I want to ask you something; did you see my father?”

Zhou Yao’s thin lips were immediately pursed into a straight pale line, and he did not say anything.

“Zhou Yao, I realized that my father has been acting weird recently. He became extremely temperamental, and he has been disappearing and appearing randomly. When I woke up yesterday morning, my father disappeared, and I was unable to check on where he went, but look at this…” Leng Zhiyuan took a piece of paper out from her pocket and handed it over to him to look as she said, “Is this the map of Bin Zhou Island? I saw the same one in your hands that night.”

“Zhiyuan…” Zhou Yao pressed her shoulders down and said, “Calm down.”

Leng Zhiyuan calmed down immediately. Her beautiful grey eyes were all expectant as she looked over at Zhou Yao and said, “Did you see my father? I know I should not have come over to disturb you, but I only have my father left. If he is in trouble I… I would not know what to do. Zhou Yao, can you help me?”

The woman’s grey eyes were bright and shining. Zhou Yao stretched his tongue out to lick his dry lips. She was relying on him for good news. How was he going to explain it to her?

Xiao Zhi suddenly said, “Older Sister-in-law.”

“Yeah?” Leng Zhiyuan turned her gaze over to the side to look over.

The moment she looked over, she saw a few staff members bring a stretcher over from the boat, and there was someone lying on the stretcher…

Leng Zhiyuan slowly let go of Zhou Yao, and she stepped forward.

“Zhiyuan!” Zhou Yao stretched his hand out to pin her slim wrist.

Leng Zhiyuan turned her head back. She was puzzled and in a daze. She pointed towards the person lying on the stretcher as she said, “Who is that person? He is too far away, and I am unable to see his face clearly, but…the person feels so so familiar…”

At this moment, Zhou Yao hated that he could not embrace her and crush her into his bones. He did not want her to see this. He knew. He always knew that her father treated her very very well. The Leng family just had one daughter. Leng Mu was playing both the role of a father and mother as he raised her, and he did not allow her to be grievanced at all.

As a parent, they always wanted to give the best things on earth to their kids.

She might seem like a small porcupine on the outside, but in life, she was actually just like a young girl who had not grown up, and when it came to anything normal, she was more naïve than others.

She was unable to take this blow.

She was definitely unable to take it.

Zhou Yao did not say anything. Leng Zhiyuan looked at him for a moment and found it weird. She turned her head back and looked over at the stretcher again. She vaguely felt something inside her heart, and she immediately shook his large hand off to quickly step forward.

“Zhiyuan!” He chased after her.

She turned her head back to glare at him, and she simply and directly asked, “Who is that? Is that…my father?”

The cold wind was blowing fiercely. Her soft body seemed to be weak at this moment, and her eyes slowly turned red as she glared at him.

Zhou Yao immediately became silent.

Leng Zhiyuan turned around and walked over to the stretcher.

When she had a clear look at Leng Mu, who was lying down on the stretcher, Leng Zhiyuan’s body froze entirely. Her hands could not help but start to shake.

“Dad…” She stretched her hand out slowly and checked Leng Mu’s breathing.

When she placed her finger underneath Leng Mu’s nose, Leng Zhiyuan closed her eyes tight. Her long eyelashes were trembling fiercely, and it was just as if she did not know how to breathe anymore.

There was…

There was still…

Her father was still breathing!

Leng Zhiyuan quickly opened her eyes. Her breathing became hurried. Things were still okay. Thankfully, her father was still alive.

She took her phone out of her pocket and dialled a number. She said, “Hello, Ah Chen, help me prepare the hospital…”

“Zhiyuan.” Zhou Yao stepped forward, and he pressed the hand that Leng Zhiyuan was using to hold her phone gently.

Leng Zhiyuan raised her head. Her gaze collided with Zhou Yao’s, and she understood everything in an instant.

She did not have any extra actions and expressions. She hung up. Although her face was pale like a piece of paper, her expressions were calm and collected as she said, “Did my father have something to do with your mission, so he has turned into your number one target? Yeah, I know, I cannot bring my father away. Every action that my father does now is under your surveillance. I can cooperate with you all, but my father has to get treatment in the hospital right now. I have to save my dad’s life!”

“Don’t worry, we will go over to the hospital right now.” Zhou Yao waved his hands towards the staff members, and the staff members carried the stretcher as they left.

Leng Zhiyuan stepped forward. Zhou Yao chased after her slowly and said, “Zhiyuan, come together with me.”

Leng Zhiyuan turned her gaze back and asked, “Was that bullet shot by you?”

Zhou Yao froze, and he stopped in his tracks.

Leng Zhiyuan’s eyes were obviously wet, but she quickly raised her gaze. There was a cold and mocking arc on the corners of her lips. She looked at him and said, “Although I can understand, I am really…very disappointed in you.”

Leng Zhiyuan got into her car and followed after the ambulance as she left.

Zhou Yao stood on the spot, his large hands slowly turned into fists. He closed his thick lashes and swallowed his saliva.

At this moment, Xiao Zhi stepped forward and said, “Major General, I will go and tell Older Sister-in-law that I shot that bullet. It has nothing to do with Major General. I believe that Older Sister-in-law will forgive you.”

Zhou Yao turned his gaze over to the side and glanced over at Xiao Zhi as he said, “What is the difference between you and me firing that shot?”

He lifted his heels and got in the car.

…

Inside the hospital

Leng Zhiyuan stood outside the operating theater and it felt like she was inside a freezer. Everything that the doctor said to her was so final. “After the surgery, the bullet around the patient’s heart was taken out. We managed to save his life, but I am very sorry to let you know, the patient will be in a coma for a long time. He is unable to wake up, and he is in a persistent vegetative state. The patient has to lie down on the bed for the rest of his life.”
