When the plane flew back to Qingdao, it was already early morning.

On the sea’s surface, the morning light turned the water a golden hue, like flowing gold.

However, Leng Zimo had no mood to appreciate this beautiful seaside city. After disembarking, he hurried to the hospital where Cheang Xiao was.

On the fourth floor, in the intensive care unit, Cheang Xiao lay with several tubes attached to his body, eyes tightly closed.

To ensure Luo Xiaoqian’s safe departure, he single-handedly blocked Roselia and several of her henchmen, killing several people, yet he himself was shot by Roselia.

Opening the door and looking at Cheang Xiao on the hospital bed, Leng Zimo’s face was somber.

"The bullet hit the lung..." Xiao Jie softly explained by his side, "The doctor said, if he doesn’t wake up by dawn, I’m afraid... it’s... hopeless..."

Ah Sang stood behind Leng Zimo, gritting his teeth, "Who did this?"

"We don’t know the specifics, we just found many dead bodies, at least seven or eight... Miss Huangfu said one of them is a blonde woman, very likely Roselia under Luo Ke’s command. She and ROY are Luo Ke’s aces." Xiao Jie said quietly.

"Damn it!" Ah Sang clenched his fist with red-rimmed eyes.

Leng Zimo had already walked to the bedside, his gaze swept over the monitoring equipment, his deeply intense eyes fell on Cheang Xiao’s handsome and young face.

Cheang Xiao was a few years younger than him. When he first met Cheang Xiao, he was just a boy. Leng Zimo personally watched Cheang Xiao grow from a boy into an independent man. In terms of skills, Cheang Xiao was the best under his command.

All the daring missions were almost always done by him.

Cheang Xiao never complained, and even enjoyed it.

Reaching out, Leng Zimo grasped Cheang Xiao’s arm, glanced at the sunlight rising outside the window, and slowly tightened his fingers.

"Cheang Xiao...it’s time to wake up!"

Cheang Xiao showed no response.

"Cheang Xiao, you should wake up. Didn’t you say you’d always stand behind me, clearing all obstacles for me?" Leng Zimo tightened his grip, lifted his other hand to remove Cheang Xiao’s mask, his voice suddenly sharp, "I want you to wake up, do you hear me? Cheang Xiao, wake up, I order you, wake up!"

"Sir!" A nurse rushed over and placed the mask back on Cheang Xiao’s face, "Please don’t do this, it’s very dangerous..."

"Sir!"

Ah Sang and Xiao Jie also rushed over to pull Leng Zimo away.

They understood his feelings, but...

As if by a miracle.

Cheang Xiao, who had been unresponsive, suddenly fluttered his eyelashes lightly.

Then fluttered them again, slowly opening his eyes.

"Cheang Xiao!" Already pushed to the door by Ah Sang and Xiao Jie, Leng Zimo saw him open his eyes, his face lit up with joy, and he pushed them aside to rush to the bedside, "Cheang Xiao...can you hear me?!"

Cheang Xiao slightly moved his eyes to look at him.

"Sir..." recognizing him, Cheang Xiao’s eyes showed apology, "I’m...sorry, I...I couldn’t protect...mad...madam..."

"It’s alright." Leng Zimo lifted his hand to grip his shoulder, "It’s alright, Cheang Xiao, I’ll get her back, promise me, don’t die, stay alive."

Cheang Xiao lightly nodded, "Yes, sir."

The doctor rushed in, the nurse rushed in...
