Chapter 183 Master Xiao
“Ding Ning, Ding Ning… Ah, Ding Ning, where are you?”
Suddenly, Xiao Nuo with her head covered in cold sweat, sat up from the bed and looked straightly at Xiaoyao.
“I remembered. I remembered. A lot of blood. Xiaoyao, tell me, Ding Ning, Ding Ning, how is he? Where is he now?”
“Sister Nuo, don’t be excited. Lie down. You just underwent the operation, and the stitched wound was torn again. Doctor, come on, doctor…”
Xiaoyao watched Xiao Nuo’s wound bleed again, and she screamed, holding back emotional Xiao Nuo in a hurry.
“You tell me, you tell me… where is Ding Ning? Where is he?”
Seeing Xiaoyao avoiding her inquiry, Xiao Nuo felt sad, and her eyes turned red. Despite the pain of her whole body, she grabbed Xiaoyao’s collar and shook her desperately, roaring hoarsely,
“Tell me, where is he? How is he? Tell me. Tell me…”
“Sister Nuo, you, you calm down. I, I will tell you… OK?”
Xiaoyao looked at Xiao Nuo’s stitched wound began to ooze blood, so she quickly grabbed her hand and shouted.
Xiao Nuo let go of her, panting heavily, but her eyes were fixed on her constantly, and her fists clenched tightly. Her knuckles turned white due to strength.
Xiaoyao looked at her expression carefully, her eyes drooping, her long eyelashes trembling slightly. “Sister, Sister Nuo, I’ll tell you, but you… Will you promise me not to be excited?”
“I, I am not excited, so you can say it.”
Xiao Nuo’s chest fluctuated violently, and even her voice trembled, as if she had exhausted all her strength.
She was afraid… She was afraid to hear his bad news, but she couldn’t help but wonder what happened to him now.
From the moment he stood in front of her to block the bullet, all her grievances against him had vanished, leaving only a strong attachment and love. She knew that in this lifetime, she could no longer erase his figure from the bottom of her heart.
If… he was really dead, she would never live alone. If they couldn’t get together when they were alive, they could be buried together after death.”
Xiao Nuo, who had made up her mind, suddenly became calm, and her eyes became clear. She looked at Xiaoyao calmly and said, “Xiaoyao, you can say it. I will never be excited. I will calm myself down whether he dies or lives.”
Xiaoyao wanted to say it but stopped. Xiao Nuo seemed much calmer at this moment, but she did not know why she had a bad feeling in her heart. But she could not tell exactly what was wrong.
With a deep breath, she could only tell the truth. After all, Xiao Nuo would surely ask about Ding Ning if she woke up.
From Xiaoyao’s remarks, Xiao Nuo knew what had happened after her coma the day before yesterday.
It turned out that after Xiao Baiyu compromised with Xiao Nuo, he agreed to join Dragon Soul as a condition in exchange for her resumption of contact with her family.
But Xiao Nuo gave up the chance to enter Dragon Soul for Ding Ning and stayed in Ninghai to join the criminal police team. However, she did not refuse to resume contact with her family, and the relationship with her father also warmed up.
Xiao Baiyu, though severe on the surface, was still concerned about his baby daughter. After learning that Xiao Nuo was held by bandits, he sent a special team headed by Ye Zhiqiu to rescue her.
After Xiao Nuo’s coma, only the fastest Ye Zhiqiu witnessed the next scene. According to him, he witnessed Ding Ning stand out in front of Xiao Nuo under the threat of bandits.
Five desperate gangsters shot at Ding Ning madly, but Ding Ning killed them instantly with silver needles.
When Ye Zhiqiu was about to come to the rescue, Ding Ning, with blood, took off his clothes with bullet holes and put it on Xiao Nuo’s body. He fainted.
Ye Zhiqiu rushed forward to check his wound, but suddenly a black shadow appeared in the grass beside him and ran away with Ding Ning in his mouth. Ye Zhiqiu was chasing after it in vain. Later, he recalled that the black image was a black panther.
After Xiao Nuo was sent to the military hospital for rescue, Ye Zhiqiu joined Ninghai military police and began to search for Ding Ning in mountains on a large scale. But one day and one night passed, there was still no news.
After Xiaoyao finished, she looked nervously at Xiao Nuo’s expression. Although she did not say it clearly, everyone knew that even if Ding Ning was not picked up by the black panther, it was impossible for him to live with dozens of gun wounds.
“I know!”
Xiao Nuo’s tone was calm but terrible, and there was nothing unusual except her pale face.
But Xiaoyao could see Xiao Nuo’s strong desire for death, which made her panicked. She grabbed her hand nervously and said, “Sister Nuo, don’t do that. I’m scared you are like that.”
Xiao Nuo opened her dry, cracked and white lips and showed an ugly smile. “Xiao Nuo, I’m all right. I’m tired. Let me sleep for a while.”
As soon as she finished, Xiao Nuo fell fainted. Xiaoyao was shocked. “Sister Nuo, Sister Nuo, wake up. Doctor, doctor… Come on! ”
…
In the military base of Dragon Soul Special Forces in the mountains near Yan Jing, Xiao Baiyu gloomily boarded an unnumbered helicopter.
On the helicopter, a dignified and gray-faced old man was sitting with his crutch and closed his eyes. His emotion couldn’t be told from his face.
Next to him sat a beautiful woman with a dignified face in her forties, sobbing in a low voice at the moment. When she saw Xiao Baiyu, she raised her head with tears on his face. “Baiyu, how is Nuonuo now?”
“Dad, why are you here?”
Xiao Baiyu nodded to the beautiful woman and followed the common practice to greet the old man, who was exactly Mater Xiao, Xiao Dingshan, the key stand of Xiao Family.
Xiao Dingshan opened his eyes slowly and his white eyebrows trembled. There was a sparkle between his eyes, but his tone was full of gunpowder.
“Crap, my grandson is gone, and my granddaughter’s life is uncertain. You are still hiding it from me, so do you think I am deaf and blind?”
Xiao Baiyu was retorted. He used to be a poker face, but he had no temper in front of Master Xiao. He forced a smile and said, “Dad, I hid it from you because I am afraid you can’t stand the stimulation.”
After that, he secretly glared at his wife. Master Xiao used to be healthy, but since Xiao Chunan disappeared three years ago, his health was getting worse. He intended to hide Xiao Nuo’s accident from him, but unexpectedly, Master Xiao was still aware of it.
“You’ve got a lot of skill, haven’t you? Why did you glare at Wanrong? I’d like to ask you, am I still you father? You wanted to hide it from me since my granddaughter encountered such a serious accident? How long are you going to hide it from me? Tell me.”
The old man noticed his little action, and immediately became furious. Xiao Baiyu was scolded badly.
“Dad, don’t be excited. I don’t want to hide it from you, just for fear that you are scared. I just received a call from Ninghai military hospital. Nuonuo has passed the dangerous period. There is no life danger. Your blood pressure is high so don’t get angry.”
Xiao Baiyu had to force a smile. His flattering look let the soldiers under his command open their eyes. They wanted to laugh but dare not, so they had to stand it and turned their shoulders to laugh. They did not expect the Iron-blooded army god was also such humble.
“All right, dad, there are so many people here. It is great that Nuonuo was not in danger of life. Your health is not that good, let Baiyu send you home. Baiyu and I will see her.”
When Meng Wanrong heard that her daughter had passed the dangerous period, she stopped crying and began to take into account the image of her husband.
“I won’t go back. I have not seen my Nuonuo for over two years. I want to see her. Don’t talk nonsense. Hurry up.”
Xiao Dingshan dashed the ground with his crutch angrily and kept his eyes closed.
Xiao Baiyu knew that his father always had a stubborn temper, and that his words and deeds must be acted upon. He no longer persuaded him, waving to the driver to drive straight to Ninghai.
“Baiyu, what’s going on this time? How could Nuonuo suffer such a serious injury?”
Meng Wanrong knew that there was no need to worry her daughter’s life, and then she remembered to ask why.
Xiao Baiyu secretly took a glance at his father and saw that he sat still and seemingly want to know with his ears up.
Meng Wanrong heard that Ding Ning was missing after blocking bullets for Xiao Nuo, and she was immediately moved by it. Even Master Xiao, who closed his eyes, opened his eyes.
“Baiyu, who is the young man named Ding Ning? Is he a friend of Nuonuo?”
Meng Wanrong saw that Master Xiao was very interested in Ding Ning. Since he was too embarrassed to ask questions, she hurried to ask taking the place of him.
Xiao Baiyu looked around and said solemnly, signaling that several of his men were avoiding. “He is Nuonuo’s fiance.”
“What? It is him.” Master Xiao and Meng Wanrong both opened their eyes in shock.
They were moved because Ding Ning blocked bullet for Xiao Nuo before, but they did not appreciate it as a personal favor.
At this moment, when he heard that Ding Ning was Xiao Baiyu’s son-in-law that Xiao Baiyu had privately contracted for his daughter more than 20 years ago, he suddenly turned pale with horror.
Meng Wanrong burst into tears on the spot. Her gentle and virtuous personality was typical of a good wife and mother. When Xiao Baiyu secretly arranged their daughter’s marriage, she did not say she supported it or opposed it. The life of her future son-in-law was uncertain for saving her daughter. How could she not be sad?
Master Xiao was different. He was extremely opposed to the marriage. For this reason, he was also very unhappy with Xiao Baiyu, which was also the reason why he did not give a good face when he saw Xiao Baiyu in recent years.
In his military lifetime, he had been overbearing. Xiao Baiyu, who had always been filial, had arranged the marriage secretly, which made him feel uncomfortable. He felt that he did not take his father into account.
In addition, some people in Xiao Family fanned the flame, so that Master Xiao was more unhappy, and he strictly ordered Xiao Baiyu to cancel the engagement.
But Xiao Baiyu, who always obeyed Master Xiao’s words, insisted on keeping the engagement even if he offended him.
In order to show his attitude, he also named his daughter Xiao Nuo. He aimed to tell everyone that he would never break his promise.
At this moment, when he heard that the future grandson-in-law he had always disliked did this for his granddaughter, he was touched and said raising his grey eyebrows,
“Baiyu, this little guy is very good. Make sure to find him. If he is alive, I want to see him. If he died, I need to see his body. I don’t care what others think. As long as he lives, I definitely recognize him as my grandson-in-law.”
If Xiao Baiyu had been approved by his father in the past, he would surely be ecstatic, but now he could only laugh bitterly and nod his head in a dull mood, with a heart like being pressed by a piece of lead.
Ding Ning’s probability of survival was less than one in ten thousand. Unless there was a miracle, there was no doubt that he would die. It was no longer important whether he got the approval of his dad or not. Everything was secondary to life.
If Ding Ning was dead and even died for saving his daughter. Even if Brother Langya didn’t blame him, he could blame himself. To be honest, he would rather see his daughter die than see him die. After all, he owed too much to Brother Langya.
This made him who understood the details of the incident headache, and he secretly blamed Lan Yang for meddling. After all, he had sent people to, so saving Xiao Nuo was just a matter of time. If he had not asked Ding Ning for help, the situation would not have been like this.
