Chapter 140: Chapter 140; Stay here with her

Outside the hospital, a pair of snipers hidden on the rooftop adjusted their sights, scanning every window and fire escape for movement.

At the parking lot, black SUVs with tinted windows circled like watchdogs, engines idling, ready to evacuate at the first sign of trouble.

— — — — — — —

The convoy was slicing through the city’s main avenue, through the red lights, and they were just minutes away from the Tang family estate.

Inside the lead jeep, Mu Yunchen sat in tensed silence, eyes fixed on the blur of passing streetlights, fingers drumming impatiently against the leather seat.

Li Feng’s voice murmured updates into a comms earpiece, the team’s strategy laid out to the last second. They needed to know what was happening and what they needed to accomplish specifically tonight.

Suddenly, Li Feng’s phone buzzed sharply. One look at the caller ID and his face drained of color. If he called, definitely something happened and they needed to be there as soon as possible.

“Third Master Mu, it’s a call from the hospital!” he blurted, his voice slightly strained. ” Some intruders breached the security line, but Su Feng neutralized two, and they suspect that more might be in the hiding around the hospital vicinity. Zhou Yuxi is still inside, lying unconscious…”

Before he could finish whatever he had planned to say, Mu Yunchen’s eyes snapped open, scalding. He was looking like a predator.

He didn’t shout and neither did he curse. Instead, there was a bone-chilling calm settled over him, deadlier than any storm.

“Turn around. This instant!” His voice was low and deep with a touch of hoarseness, each word weighted with murderous finality. He had left his men there, but it seemed like they weren’t doing their job to perfection.

The driver flinched but didn’t question him, the convoy screeched to a sharp U-turn at the next intersection, tires screeching against the asphalt before flooring throughout the highway.

Li Feng braced himself against the sudden lurch, breathing in and out. “Third Master, do we abandon the Tang family raid tonight? Or should we send our team there?”

“They can try to run, but they can never hide from me; I will hunt them to the end of the world. They will never escape me,” Mu Yunchen growled, eyes fixed ahead, jaw tight with unspoken rage, you could see the heavy veins that had popped in her forehead. “Right now, she comes first. If even a strand of her hair is touched again tonight…” He didn’t finish because everyone was already threading carefully around him.

He actually didn’t need to finish up knowing his means! The promise of death that radiated from him was enough to chill the entire vehicle sending shivers down their spines.

He pulled out his phone and dialed Su Feng directly, his tone cold and clipped the moment the line connected. “What happened?”

“Two attackers were taken down. I gave out orders, and the floor was locked, but I think more attackers are hiding around the hospital vicinity. Li Meili and I are still in the wardroom with her, she’s still unconscious but moved a little just now.”

“I’m just five minutes away from arriving. If they show their faces again, kill them all without a flinch. No need to have prisoners, the cells we have are already full.”

“Yes, Mu Yunchen…”

Mu Yunchen ended the call, his knuckles ghost-white as he gripped the jeep armrest beside him.

He could see it all in his mind, that image heavily etched in his mind: Yuxi’s fragile body on that hospital bed, the tubes and bandages, her pale lips that still trembled in his nightmares. And somewhere out there, rats dared crawl back to finish what they started?

Not tonight and not ever again. He won’t allow it unless they go through his dead body. Tonight, he would send them back into their hiding.

“Step on that gas!” he ordered the driver, his voice like thunder rumbling before a storm broke. “I want to be there now, now!”

“All right sir….”

Soon, the convoy screeched to a halt at the emergency entrance of the hospital.

Before the jeeps fully stopped, Mu Yunchen had already swung the door open, boots hitting the pavement with a force that made the security guards jump to attention.

“Clear the path!” Li Feng barked behind him as Mu Yunchen stormed through the sliding doors, his coat billowing behind him just like a night grimmer ready to harvest loitering souls.

Nurses and patients instinctively stepped aside creating a way for him, caught in the whirlwind of raw authority that radiated from the Third Master’s towering figure, they instinctively had to obey.

Two guards outside Zhou Yuxi’s ward straightened their backs, while their faces turned pale, accompanied by bows dipping low at an angle. “Third Master Mu…..”

“What?” His tone cut through them like a blade, cold and unfeeling. He hurriedly walked over to Su Feng. At the moment, he could trust only him.

“There are no further intruders detected at the moment. Su Feng eliminated the two who broke in earlier. The floor is on total lockdown, and no one enters or leaves without our team’s clearance. Even the birds and doctors are scrutinized.”

Mu Yunchen didn’t waste another word on them. He pushed the wardroom door open, walked in, and there she was, lying quietly like the storm happening around her actually wasn’t after her: Zhou Yuxi, lying under the soft glow of the ward light. Tubes and monitors still beeped steadily. Her lashes quivered faintly against her pale skin and chapped lips.

Beside her, Su Feng stood with bloodstained sleeves, and Li Meili sat clutching Yuxi’s cold hand, tears drying on her cheeks. She was truly frightened earlier on and wondering if the evening would come to an end. She hated darkness the most.

Mu Yunchen’s gaze raked over her body inch by inch, searching for any new wound, or any fresh blood. He couldn’t see her getting hurt. This was his precious baby.

His heart twisted painfully in his chest, but he forced it down, planting his palm gently on her forehead. Her body was still warm but her hands were slightly cold. He didn’t dare to turn the heater on with her condition. It would be easier to kill her at any slightest negligence.

“Yuxi…” His voice cracked low enough that only she could hear if she were wide awake.

He bent down, pressing a protective kiss to her forehead over to her nose and then her eyes.

For a heartbeat, the predator in him vanished and was replaced by a man whose soul lived and died for this single girl’s breath. His murderous Aura was immediately replaced with gentleness and warmth that was meant for her.

He straightened sharply, turning over to face Su Feng. “You did well. Thank you…”

Su Feng nodded silently, wiping the dagger on a cloth cleaning it of the blood. He could protect her willingly without demanding or expecting anything. He was back solely for that, why would he risk his life getting exposed to danger if it weren’t for her?

Mu Yunchen turned to Li Feng, who had just caught up, panting slightly. “Double the guards and seal every entrance and exit of this entire place. No visitors are allowed on this floor, no staff rotations without clearance from either me or Su Feng. Anyone acting suspicious, shoot first, ask questions later.”

“Yes, Third Master Mu.”

He cast one last look at Zhou Yuxi’s pale face but safe, remembering every part of her body into his mind like a vow. Confirming she was okay, stillness returned to his eyes as he faced Su Feng.

“Stay here with her. If you see a shadow making some wrong moves, kill it instantly.”

Su Feng gave a sharp nod as that was what he had ordered all the guards to do. “Understood.”

With that, Mu Yunchen turned on his heel, his coat swirling around his legs like ocean waves. His every footstep was heavy and echoed deeper in the hearts like a war drum.

He strode back out into the corridor, Li Feng trailing just behind him, murmuring into his comms to deploy extra sharpshooters on the hospital rooftop and at every floor exit. They needed to heighten their security and whoever was in the shadows planning to attack would be taken down first.

The hospital lights reflected the predator’s promise in Mu Yunchen’s eyes. The….
