Chapter 232 - The Line Between Life and Death (2/2)

When Xiao Bing woke up, Ye Xiaoxi, Jiang Wanting, and Yu Miao were accompanying him in the ward. While the other three were standing, Ye Xiaoxi was sitting next to the sickbed, holding Xiao Bing’s hand.

Yu Miao realized that Ye Xiaoxi and Xiao Bing were definitely not merely ordinary friends. But she couldn’t get entangled in that because she was still in the deep shock of the horrible fight between Xiao Bing and the devil just now.

Yu Miao, born into a bureaucratic family, had never seen such a fierce battle throughout her life. She thought that it merely existed in legend, or maybe it could only be seen in a TV series or movie. To her surprise, she saw it in real life.

Xiao Bing saw Yezi’s eyes were red from crying, so he couldn’t help wanting to comfort her. And then he struggled to sit up, only to find that his whole body was still weak. Yezi hurriedly pressed him back down, giving him a look, and said, “Do not wriggle around. Have a good rest for some days.”

Xiao Bing smiled bitterly. “I didn’t expect that I’d be so miserable at this time. How many times is it for me to be hospitalized?”

Xiao Bing saw his right arm tightly wrapped up with three layers of bandages inside and three layers outside. He could not feel his whole arm at all, so he spontaneously changed his face and asked, “What happened to my arm?”

As soon as Yezi heard the question from Xiao Bing, her eyes became redder. “The doctor said the bones of your right arm are totally torn up. For a common person, the arm would be completely useless. However, you have so strong resilience that you will slowly recover. But temporarily, you still can’t feel it. So for now, you had to take some good rest.”

Xiao Bing sighed with relief, recalling the scene of his fight, and understood it very much. At that time, he forced a tear in space, which he could barely do with his strength. Furthermore, he had no Gang spirit to protect his body, so it couldn’t withstand that at all. For anyone below the Break Vacuum Period, their whole arm would be useless, even turning into dust. But his arm remained, which was great luck in misfortune.

Xiao Bing thought it over. “It was probably because I originally had reached the realm of Break Vacuum. Although my power was sealed, the toughness of my body was not gone so that in spite of no protection of Gang spirit, my arm was only seriously injured, without being totally destroyed.”

But it was really an adventure, for it was just a moment whether the arm would be destroyed or saved.

Xiao Bing looked at the red eyes of Yezi, and comforted her with a smile. “Well, I am fine now. I will take a few days to rest and recuperate, so what are you crying for?”

When Yezi heard Xiao Bing talk in such an indifferent attitude, she felt very angry as she said, “Do you still think it’s a joke? Do you know how dangerous it was? Do you know you almost lost your life? Do you know your arm was nearly not saved, like the doctor said? Next time, I won’t allow you to take such risk, it’s not allowed…”

Xiao Bing sighed and said, “I know, but if I didn’t help at that time, everyone present might have died. That man was very very strong, even stronger than me. I took advantage of the means that he didn’t know what I had, and defeated him unexpectedly, which was also of great risk. I can say that the chance I died at that time was much greater than me killing the devil. But under the circumstances, I had to make the bet, or all of us were bound to die.”

Yu Miao sighed. “Brother Bing, it is you who have saved our lives then. I will remember you forever.”

Jiang Wanting also said, “Brother Bing, I appreciate you on behalf of my colleagues killed by the devil, as well as all those innocent people killed by him before.”

After that, Jiang Wanting bent from her waist and bowed to Xiao Bing. The picture of those policemen being killed appeared in her mind over and over again, so did the picture of Liu Xiaorui’s mother being killed, which repeatedly impacted her brain. Now, the culprit was finally killed by Xiao Bing, so several drops of her tears spattered onto the floor while she was bowing.

Xiao Bing said, “Do not thank me. Don’t forget that I used to be a soldier.”

Even though he had left the army three years ago, when it came to the word of a soldier, Xiao Bing showed a sacred gleam in his eyes.

He immediately looked at Yezi and asked, “Well, how about Liu Xiaorui? She was injured then, and she is still a child. Is she okay?”

Smiling, Yezi said, “Rest assured. She is seriously injured but her life is not in danger. She just needs to stay in the hospital for a while.” “Well, she is also a poor girl. Both her parents are gone, especially her mother’s death just now, for she died just before her eyes, which has had a huge impact on her heart. The hospital has arranged for a professional psychiatrist to guide her, but the doctor said even if she receives counsel, the shadow in her heart won’t disappear for a while and she needs long-term attention from others. Only in this way could we remedy her wounded heart, which might accompany her for a lifetime.”

After hearing that, Xiao Bing showed both hatred and sympathy in his eyes, then sincerely looked at Ye Xiaoxi and said, “I don’t want to send her to the orphanage.”

“I know what you mean. In terms of her current situation, she is indeed not fit to be sent out. We can’t make her feel that she is a child that no one wants…” Ye Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Bing seriously and said, “I am willing to adopt her with you.”

Xiao Bing sighed with relief, for he wanted to say that before but he did not know what Yezi thought. After all, he would marry Yezi sooner or later, and having a child before marriage is unacceptable for many girls. Having seen Yezi agree to it, he could put down the stone in his heart. He was also moved by the kindness of Yezi as he said with sincerity, “Thank you, Yezi.”
