Chapter 141 - 143 【143】Two Men Start Fighting 1
"Young Master, please don’t worry. The young madam will be fine."
Seeing Nangong Yaoling’s appearance, Qin Liu also felt uneasy in his heart.
However, having undergone professional bodyguard training, he knew that at this time, he mustn’t panic.
He couldn’t give the Young Master any additional pressure.
At the hospital entrance, doctors and nurses were already prepared, immediately rushing up to place Xia Xiaonuan on a stretcher and then pushing her into the hospital.
Finally, Xia Xiaonuan was wheeled into the operating room.
Nangong Yaoling, Liang Shaochen, and the assistant were outside the operating room.
Liang Shaochen was now completely sober.
He leaned against the wall with his hand for support, but it seemed he still couldn’t collect his thoughts.
Nangong Yaoling sat in a chair, his entire body exuding a chilling, murderous aura.
He instructed Qin Liu beside him.
"Investigate for me! I want to see who had the guts to harm my person, Nangong Yaoling!" He uttered this sentence through gritted teeth.
One can imagine what would happen to the mastermind if found.
"Yes! Rest assured, Crown Prince, I will go at once!" Qin Liu replied respectfully and went off to execute the order.
Nangong Yaoling closed his eyes wearily.
It had been many years since he felt this agitated and furious.
Just now, in the car, when he was carrying her out, he felt his legs trembling.
Facing the entire Imperial Consortium, or even cold-blooded murderers from the underworld, he wouldn’t blink an eye.
Even if someone pointed a gun at him.
He had never been afraid.
But today, he truly experienced the sense of fear.
It was a fear as though something in his heart was about to be hollowed out.
It came more fiercely than anything outside.
Nangong Yaoling clenched his fist tightly.
Forcing himself to calm down.
After a long time, he finally raised his eyes and looked at Liang Shaochen’s back.
"How did she get hurt?" His tone seemed calm, but hidden within was a sense of cold and terror.
It was the first time he used this tone to speak to Liang Shaochen.
Liang Shaochen’s body gradually tensed.
His mind was in a state of chaos, a hundred times more so than Nangong Yaoling’s.
What confused him was not just why Xia Xiaonuan found that place today; not just why she took a knife for him at the crucial moment; he also thought of all the unusual reactions Xia Xiaonuan had shown him in the past.
Recalling how Xia Xiaonuan behaved before she fell unconscious, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him.
There was too much contained in that look.
So much that it left him flustered, even uneasy and fearful.
So much that it shocked him.
This woman... he always felt that she harbored a huge secret.
But what that secret was, he couldn’t begin to fathom.
Because he couldn’t even deduce anything from normal reasoning.
The usually gentle and steady Liang Shaochen, at this moment, his heart also completely panicked.
Moreover, he knew, Nangong Yaoling must be blaming him.
Blaming him for not protecting his friend’s wife.
Perhaps, this question contained other implications as well.
But he had no time to think about it further.
Or rather, he dared not think too deeply.
"I’m sorry... it was my fault, I couldn’t protect her..."
Liang Shaochen turned his tall body around, looking apologetically at Nangong Yaoling, like a child who had done wrong.
Nangong Yaoling stood up and stepped towards Liang Shaochen.
The two tall figures faced each other.
Just then, Nangong Yaoling suddenly raised his fist and punched Liang Shaochen hard in the face.
