The man noticed the noise behind him, turned around suddenly, and quickly raised his hand to block the stone that was hitting him.

Although he protected his head, he was hit on the arm and cried out in pain.

He endured the pain, pointed the gun at Su Lian and pulled the trigger.

With a "bang" sound of a gunshot, the bullet passed by Su Lian.

The man lost his aim due to the pain and tried to shoot again after adjusting his position.

Seeing this, Su Lian raised her hand and gripped the barrel of the gun, moving the muzzle away from herself.

The man had an injured hand and was struggling to fight Su Lian.

"Bang!" Another gunshot was heard, and the man missed again.

Su Lian aimed at the man's vitals, raised her knee and hit him three times in a row.

The man's mind went blank due to the pain. He opened his mouth but couldn't even cry out. His legs went weak and he fell to his knees.

Su Lian grabbed the shotgun and pointed it at the man.

If he didn't die, her own life would be in danger, so Su Lianxin made up her mind and pulled the trigger at the man's head.

As she pressed her fingers down, she squeezed her eyes shut.

The imagined deafening gunshots did not occur.

The shotgun she was holding had two shots. The man had already fired two shots, so he needed to reload if he wanted to shoot again.

She could only use the gun as a club, pointing the butt of the gun at the man's head and smashing it down with all her strength.

One, two, three...

The man struggled and screamed at first, but after being hit a few times, he lay on the ground motionless.

Su Lian dropped the blood-stained gun and searched the man for the front door key.

The key was hanging on the man's waist. She pulled off the key and rushed to the opposite room to look for her cell phone.

Her cell phone was on the table. She picked it up, turned it on and ran towards the door.

There was the sound of a car engine and the flashing of headlights outside the gate.

She immediately ran to the haystack next to the gate and hid there. It must be the man named Qiangzi who had returned.

Sure enough, Qiangzi's hand reached through the railing of the gate, unlocked it, opened the iron door and ran in.

He just heard two gunshots and knew something happened here.

Seeing Qiangzi rushing into the house, Su Lian immediately stood up and ran towards the door.

Seeing that his two brothers had fallen to the ground, Qiangzi picked up the shotgun and chased after them.

It was pitch black outside and Su Lian had no idea which direction to go. She could only run along the road using the moonlight.

There was no car on the remote village road. There was a deep ditch on the left side of the road and a steep mountain wall on the right side. There was no place for her to hide.

She could only grit her teeth and run forward with all her might.

The strong desire to survive stimulated her potential. In addition, she had taken two "body-strengthening pills" before, so her physical strength surpassed that of ordinary people and she ran very fast.

Qiangzi chased in the wrong direction at first and chased in the opposite direction of Su Lian for more than ten minutes before turning back.

Su Lian didn't know how long she had been running, she just felt her soles were burning.

Suddenly, she saw what seemed to be the light of car lights far ahead, and she was overjoyed, thinking she was saved!

She continued to run forward, waving her arms as she ran, praying that the man would see her.

At that moment, the roar of a car behind him came closer and closer, and Qiangzi caught up.

Qiangzi not only saw Su Lian, but also saw the car coming towards them.

He frowned, leaned half of his body out of the car, holding the steering wheel with one hand and holding a shotgun in the other.

"Oh!"

The bullet grazed Su Lian's ear, scaring her so much that she almost fell down.

The car on the opposite side was getting closer and closer, and Qiangzi recognized the white van.

Lu Jinghuan saw a red figure running towards him from afar. Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, he recognized Su Lian from her figure.

His expression froze and he stepped on the gas tank to the bottom.

The distance between the two cars was rapidly closing. Lu Jinghuan saw Su Lian running in front with a terrified expression, and the man chasing him from behind leaned out of the car and aimed a gun at her.

Lu Jinghuan's hair stood on end, and there was only one thought in his mind: he must not be allowed to hurt Su Lian.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly and drove straight into the oncoming car.

Qiangzi saw Lu Jinghuan's car coming straight towards him and quickly turned the steering wheel to avoid it.

But Lu Jinghuan was driving very fast and it was too late for him to dodge.

"Boom--" a huge crash sound echoed throughout the mountains and forests. The front faces of the two cars were smashed to pieces, and thick smoke billowed out.

Su Lian suddenly turned around and looked at the white van. When the car passed by her just now, she seemed to see Lu Jinghuan's blurry face.

She was stunned, her mind suddenly went blank, and a sharp explosion rang in her ears.

"Lu Jinghuan...Lu Jinghuan..."

Her legs went weak and she looked at the white van that had been smashed beyond recognition, feeling as if all her strength had been drained away.

"Lu Jinghuan——" She went crazy and stumbled towards the van.

Lu Jinghuan's face was covered in blood and he fell on the steering wheel with his eyes closed.

Su Lian widened her eyes in horror, banging on the car window and pulling hard on the door.

The car door was deformed and she tried her best but couldn't open it.

She cried out in panic, "Lu Jinghuan! Wake up! Don't sleep, wake up!"

She shouted at the top of her lungs, looking at the motionless Lu Jinghuan, and for the first time she felt what despair was.

Lu Jinghuan heard Su Lian's call and forced himself to open his eyes a little.

Seeing Su Lian's face soaked with tears, desperate and helpless, his brows moved slightly.

Don’t cry…

His eyelids became heavier and heavier, Su Lian's shouting became farther and farther away, his consciousness gradually blurred, and he lost consciousness.

"Lu Jinghuan——"

"Wake up! No sleeping!"

When the ambulance arrived, Su Lian's voice had been sore from screaming that she could no longer utter a sound.

Lu Jinghuan was rescued in the emergency room for more than ten hours before he was out of danger. He was transferred to the ICU ward and stayed there for half a month. His vital signs finally stabilized.

Su Lian stayed with Lu Jinghuan for as long as he stayed in the hospital.

On the day Lu Jinghuan was transferred to the general ward, both the Su family and the Lu family came.

Lu Jinghuan was still lying on the bed with his eyes closed, with various monitoring devices hanging on his body.

The doctor said he had a brain injury and he didn't know when he would wake up.

Maybe one or two days, maybe one or two weeks, it depends on his recovery.

Lu Jinghuan's stepmother Luo Meiyu pretended to shed two tears, and Lu Ming kept sighing.

In order to thank Lu Jinghuan for risking his life to save Su Lian's life, Su Yunting promised to invest another 10 billion yuan in Lu's company.

Su Lian sat quietly beside Lu Jinghuan's bed, and Su Yuan patted her back gently to comfort her.

Although there are special staff to take care of the hospital's VVIP ward, Su Lian still insisted on staying to accompany Lu Jinghuan.

She talked a lot to Lu Jinghuan every day, hoping that he could wake up soon.

"Lu Jinghuan, the kidnapper you bumped into has become a vegetable, and the other two have also been arrested...

How could you be so stupid? They asked you to come alone, and you really came alone? They didn't intend to let us go back alive, did you know that..."

"Lu Jinghuan, my second brother has completely given up on Luan Xixi. Do you know why?

Luan Xixi happened to see me being kidnapped, but she pretended to know nothing. My second brother was almost mad at me, haha..."

"Lu Jinghuan, you've slept long enough, wake up soon..."
