Chapter 185 - Unexpected Saviors (1/2)

Xu Mey heard the sound of the bullet being shot but the pain never came. What came was a cry that was heard somewhere close to her.

Xu Mey slowly opened her eyes and the scene before her, made her freeze for a moment. All she saw was blood around her and then her eyes fell on the figure laying in her feet, groaning with pain.

Her eyes widened up and she knelt down crying out, "Dad!"

The moment she had closed her eyes earlier, two figures entered the room exactly at the same time. One came like a shadow through the window and the other pushed open the door and ran in front of Xu Mey.

The figure that ran before Xu Mey managed to save her from the bullet but by making his own body a shield for her. And he was Xu Mey's own father, Xu Cheng. The bullet hit his shoulder. Due to the pain and force, he fell to the ground. The blood was gushing out from his wound, making a puddle under him.

Looking at her father bleeding at her feet, Xu Mey's mind went completely blank for a while. When she knelt down to hold his body, her own limbs were quivering with fear. "Dad!" She called out again, touching his blanched face with her trembling fingers.

"Mey!" She could hear her father's low hoarse voice.

"Don't talk, dad! You're losing blood." She closed her eyes briefly to get back her composure. After that, she placed both her hands on Xu Cheng's wound to control the bleeding but her hand was of no use. She darted her eyes around in the blood covered room and that's when her gaze fell on the lone figure standing at the side.

The figure that flew inside earlier like a shadow had a hood on, in black color that covered most of his face. When he jumped in the room, the lights reflected on the thin but sharp needles that flew out of his hands and pierced at the acupuncture points of the masked men inside the room.

Because of the needles blocking their movements, none of them could even lift their head to see who slashed their throat with a dagger. It was a clean cut which didn't even give them a chance to even cry out in pain. Their lifeless bodies dropped one after the other as the dark figure looked at the dagger in his hand and frowned seeing the blood covering its silvery body. The dark figure squatted down and cleaned the dagger with the dead men's clothes revealing the beautiful dagger in his hand.

When the figure saw Xu Mey staring at him, he pulled off the hood to show his green eyes staring back at Xu Mey.

Looking at that face that was familiar to her and those eyes that looked completely unfamiliar, Xu Mey couldn't think of anything. "Sensei?" She called out extremely cautiously.

The green-eyed person threw a pill bottle to Xu Mey saying, "Feed two pills to your dad, it'll stop the bleeding until I take care of the people outside." Ru turned to jump out of the window, halted, and turned to look at Xu Mey, "Until I say so, don't you dare walk out of this room."

Even though Xu Mey was worried for her father, she couldn't disobey the person before her either. The only thing she could do was have faith and she did. She fed two pills to her father and tore a piece of her own shirt to bind around the wound. The blood didn't stop but it wasn't gushing out as it did a while ago.

She hugged her father closer to her chest and covered his ear. She could clearly hear the cries for help outside the window along with gunshots but she wasn't scared at all. Her only concern at the moment was her father.
