Chapter 214: Yan Xi Was in Danger

Why did she suddenly stop struggling?

The man looked at Yan Xi incredulously. He didn’t believe her at all.

“Why? Are you afraid that I’ll play some tricks? I’m already like this, what else can I do?” Yan Xi said and took a step closer to him. “Come on, do it!”

The hesitation in the man’s eyes was replaced by ruthlessness. He raised the dagger and was about to stab Yan Xi’s hand.

Suddenly, Yan Xi shouted.

“Gu Shen, save me!”

The man turned instinctively but there was no one!

“You piece of—”

Before the man could finish speaking, a knife suddenly flashed across him. As a former soldier, he was quick and vigilant. He took a step back and successfully dodged the knife.

Yan Xi’s heart skipped a beat.

The man smiled viciously. “Is that all you got? Looks like I shouldn’t give a chance to talk.”

A few minutes later, Yan Xi was dragged to a corner and tied up. Her hand was placed on a board in front of the man. Like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, Yan Xi was terrified.

She wasn’t terrified of losing her hand, but that she wouldn’t be able to help Gu Shen stand up again.

The man ran the dagger across the back of her hand. Before Yan Xi could react, a sharp pain came from her hand, and she couldn’t help but tremble.

The dagger was directly inserted into the back of her hand!

Blood immediately gushed out. Yan Xi gritted her teeth and did not scream.

Cold sweat broke out on her forehead, but she still glared at the man. “If I escape, I won’t let you off!”

The man snorted and forcefully pulled out the dagger. Without caring about Yanxi’s pale face, he stabbed it into the back of her other hand.

Yan Xi almost fainted from the pain.

There was only one thought in her mind. She had to save her hands from being crippled. Otherwise, Gu Shen would be finished!

“Tsk tsk, looks like you won’t be able to hold a scalpel with your hands anymore. Mission accomplished.”

The man got up and left without any intention of untying her.

When she was alone, Yan Xi heaved a sigh of relief.

From the corner of her eye, she saw the scalpel that slipped out of her pocket while she was being dragged. A thought struck her.

She had to get out. She had to get out of here!

Gu Shen still needed her!

Yan Xi moved her fingertips and could clearly feel the pain in her hand. She was overjoyed.

Her hands were not completely crippled, and the nerves were not damaged.

With difficulty, she picked up the scalpel and cut the rope around her. She staggered to her feet, but she almost fell to the ground again because of the blood loss.

Yan Xi leaned against the wall for a long time. It was so painful that she fell asleep. By the time she opened her eyes, it was dawn.

Only then did she remember to take out her phone. She opened it and saw that it was filled with Gu Shen’s calls.

Not seeing Yan Xi for the entire night, he must be extremely anxious.

She endured the pain and quickly typed a message.

“I’m fine. I was busy last night. Hurry up and go for the surgery!”

In less than three seconds, Gu Shen called. As soon as the call connected, Gu Shen said anxiously.

“Xixi, where are you now!”

Last night, when he saw that she was not back, he mobilized everyone to look for her, but it was to no avail.

He was going crazy with anxiety!

Yan Xi smiled and her voice was a little hoarse. “I accidentally fell asleep in the warehouse when I came over to check the materials. Gu Shen, don’t worry about me. I’ll be back soon. Listen to me and go for the surgery first, okay?”

Gu Shen said in a low voice, “I want to see you in person.”

“If you are so stubborn, I won’t go back. If you don’t go for the surgery, it means that you don’t take my words to heart at all. I’m not happy.”

Yan Xi deliberately threw a tantrum. Only when she was angry would Gu Shen listen to her.

As expected, Gu Shen agreed.

After hanging up, Yan Xi got up and staggered out of the seafood factory.

…

When Gu Shen arrived at the hospital, Zhou Xu was pacing back and forth in the corridor anxiously.

The surgery was about to begin, but Yan Xi was not here yet.

Gu Shen asked in a deep voice, “What happened?”

Zhou Xu did not expect Gu Shen to suddenly appear behind him and was shocked.

“You came really early,” he said with an awkward smile. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

He couldn’t possibly tell him that the chief surgeon who would operate on him was not here yet.
