Chương 196: Did You Think I Came Unprepared?

Gu Wing bit her trembling, dry lips, "Did you guys think that I would be stupid enough to come here alone? Hah, I have my followers waiting for me outside. If you want to get out of here safely, you better let me go right now. I'm warning you that my followers have weapons."

"Oh? Really. That is interesting because when the guard walked in earlier, nobody was blocking the entrance. So where were your followers then?" Huan Hei stared at her coldly.

"Hah, I wasn't even caught yet at that point. Of course you guys wouldn't have seen them. If they were that easily exposed, then they wouldn't be called my backup, would they?" She spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva at his direction.

"Wow, you're a bad aimer. If you were going to spit, at least aim it right. Anyways, who the heck cares about your hooligans outside? We can beat them up with the number of people we have in here. Also, one call and the whole police force and their special units will rush here. Did you think that we were a joke?" Nana reminded Gu Wing that they were more powerful than her in every way possible.

"Heh, then will they be able to save you guys from a bomb? I already knew that once I enter this place, it wouldn't be easy getting out. Why would I waste my effort getting out when all of you guys could die with me?" Gu Wing coughed a few times as her voice lowered.

Ya Nuo noticed how calm Gu Wing was when she spoke about implanted bombs, "She might be telling the truth. If that's the case, we will have to get out of here immediately." Everyone was trying to figure out whether her words were the truth. While they thought about informing the bomb squad, they forgot to pay attention to Gu Wing.

"Hahahaha, Being able to die with all of you buried with me makes this death extra special! I'm looking forward to this building collapsing on all of us. So, before that comes...." She forced herself up from the ground when Wei Na and Nana were caught off guard. Though her ankles were injured, her arms were perfectly fine.

Gu Wing flipped her body over, tripping Wei Na and Nana. Zhen Qi and Bin Guan both shouted their girlfriend's name when they saw her falling. As their attention focused on their girlfriend, Gu Wing used all her strength to lift her body up for a minute, took out her small kitchen knife, and dashed forward. "Yang Ya Nuo!!!"

Due to Huan Hei's kick earlier, her vision was blurred, so her angling was off. Her knife was not pointed towards Ya Nuo's body, but Bin Guan's instead. He was the closest to her from where she was lying on the ground earlier.

"No!!!" Wei Na rushed to him and pushed Bin Guan out of the way, but wasn't quick enough to dodge the attack. The knife stabbed her stomach and blood stained her light pink top, dying it dark red. Zhen Qi and Bin Guan shoved Gu Wing away from Wei Na before the knife penetrated any deeper into her body.

Wei Na held her bleeding wound as Bin Guan supported her shoulders and slowly guided her to the ground. "Wei Na, you.. you... it's okay. Doctor Chen Mu is here. He can save you. It's okay." He looked at her bleeding wound and covered it with more strength. Zhi Hei called for medical assistance while Chen Mu dug out his sanitized gloves to inspect her wound.

Fortunately, he had some of his herb pills and basic first aid kit with him. He checked her wound and felt relieved when he saw that the wound was not too deep. He sanitized it with whatever he had in the kit and helped her temporarily control the bleeding. After feeding her an herb pill, he told Bin Guan to keep watch of her body temperature as they wait for assistance.

"Wei Na.. you.. why did you.. why..." his gentle eyes were red, watery, and mixed with emotions. She's never seen this side of him because during their relationship, he never showed such strong feelings in front of her. Her fingers brushed against his cheeks and wiped the escaped droplet off his worried expression. "If I had to choose a thousand times again, I would still do the same. Finally, these tears... belong to me.."

She leaned in his embrace, and he whispered words to keep her awake. He felt her body growing colder. Fear crept up his spine, through his bloodstreams, and made a hole in his heart. He felt his heart shatter witnessing her weakening condition as minutes ticked by, "Wei Na, why are you so...? That knife was pointed at me... you.. you blocked it.."

"Bin Guan, I loved you for many years already. I'm already very happy that I am your girlfriend. If we switched roles, you wouldn't allow me to get hurt either, would you? Heh, it hurts less when the wound is on me. At this point, my heart is very content because you gave me a lot of happiness and memories." Her voice was losing its volume as she spoke.

"Don't talk now. Save your energy. Please. I beg you. Stay awake until assistance comes okay? They're coming. Just a little while longer." he kissed her cheeks and rubbed her arms to provide her warmth.

"I.. I once said to you that I will never make you sad, but right now, you're crying." She sighed.

"I'm not. I'm not crying." He interlocked their fingers tightly as if his life depended on it.

"Liar. You suck at lying haha. I.. I've never been afraid of anything, but when it comes to you, I get worried over every little cough you get. Loving you has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. If....anything happens to me, don't think that it is your fault. It's not. I love you. I don't want to see you hurt in any way... understand?" The symptoms were getting worse as her body weakened.

Meanwhile, Gu Wing was screaming in agony as she felt her fingers, wrists, ankles, and toes all twisted until her bones cracked. Ya Nuo, Huan Hei, and Qi Yang could not stand seeing her unharmed after stabbing Wei Na. Zhen Qi was comforting Nana as she cried in his embrace from seeing Wei Na's condition. The others were contacting different medical teams and wandering the storage unit to see if it is safe to head outside.

Bin Guan nodded as more tears shed out of his eyes. A layer of sweat covered her pale forehead, "Bin Guan, I can't see your face. Come closer. I want to take a good look at you. I could hear your heart beating really fast." He could tell that her voice was significantly weaker than before.

Chen Mu helped position her so that the couple could look at each other's face without affecting the blood flow of the wound. Her room temperature palm felt the shape of his cheeks as her thumb wiped the tears from the right side of his face. He kissed her palm while she was feeling his facial features.

"Look at you...and you say that you're not crying. Look at the excess eyebrow hair growing back out, I need to trim it again. Look at the creases on your forehead, I used so many facial masks to reduce them. Look at your lips... it's dry again..." Before she could continue, his lips met hers.

Nana noticed a small jewelry box by one of the storage boxes after calming down. She picked it up, opened it, and gasped when she saw a pair of diamond rings. She saw "WN" and "BG" with an infinity sign between the initials as the inner design of the rings.

She kneeled down by the couple and handed the ring box to him secretly. "Wei Na, you'll definitely get through this, you hear me? Definitely. There is alot more in life that is waiting for you. The ambulance will be here in five minutes." Nana got up to give the couple their privacy as Bin Guan began his confession.

"Wei Na, take a look at this. This is the personalized platinum rings that I was going to give you today. I was going to propose to you during our double date to give you a big surprise. Didn't we talk about having our own children and house in the future? We can have all of that. Before dating you, I never thought of settling down like that. Everything seemed so complicated, but you made it very simple for me. I only want to be with you. This lifetime, you're the only one I want to spend the rest of my life with. Shen Wei Na, without my permission, you can't leave me."

He took the ring that was meant for her out of the box and slipped it onto her engagement finger, "You're wearing the ring now and I'm putting mine on right now. You have to take responsibility for me, for giving me this hope and dream of making a family together. You can't crush it, or I'll be terribly sad and go on an alcoholic spree. Mark my words."

"Pfft....who proposes like this?" Wei Na let out a small laugh as she leaned comfortably in his embrace. He sniffled a bit as she looked at their interlocked fingers with the ring on both hands and whispered, "You don't know how long I've wanted to hear these words from you, but there's still three words I haven't heard. Without them, I won't accept any proposal from you."

He knew which words she wanted to hear, but the moment he said it, she fell unconscious in his arms. He repeated countlessly 'I love you' to her ears, hugged her closer, and kissed her, hoping that she was just playing like always.

The ambulance came right after she collapsed, and she was immediately rushed to the hospital. Everyone followed the ambulance except for The Boogeyman, Ying Ying, Yang Qiu Rei and Gu Wing. The hooligans were hiding with metal bats in the bushes all along and was arrested by the Huang security guards.

There were no bombs after all. It was all big talk. But after this talk, she will never be able to speak another word under daylight ever again.

-Hospital-

Wei Na lost a lot of blood and even after Chen Mu properly treated her wound, he shook his head. He told the crowd who was eagerly waiting outside the emergency room that the following twenty-four hours will be a critical period for her. If she wakes up, then she will be safe, if not, then they might have to consider the worst.
