Chapter 378 - Chapter 378 Chapter 377 He firmly protected her under him

Chapter 378: Chapter 377: He firmly protected her under him Chapter 378: Chapter 377: He firmly protected her under him Soon enough, the helicopter landed in the open space of the cemetery.

Gu Siting and Lu Zhou got off from the leading helicopter.

Dressed in black, Gu Siting stood tall at 188 centimeters, exuding an intense aura, cool and sharp.

His features taut, his gaze penetrating and frosty, he took long strides toward Ming Yao.

“Let’s see who dares to demolish one.”

From the other helicopters, well-trained men in black disembarked in an orderly fashion, forming two lines.

All were from the Dark Cabinet, each one strong and robust, mighty and tall.

The leader inwardly cursed their bad luck; these weren’t people to be trifled with!

But Yin Zhe had given his orders–if they didn’t follow the plan, it would be difficult for them to continue in this industry!

Despite his trepidation, the leader signaled the operator of the heavy machinery.

The operator immediately restarted the machine.

However, the next second, a tall and stern man drew a black Desert Eagle from his waist.

With a bang, a bullet pierced through the glass, hitting directly onto the control panel.

It grazed the operator’s hand, barely missing it.

A layer of skin on the hand back was torn, and fresh red blood surged out.

The operator, as if oblivious to the pain, was stunned into stupidity.

He sat immobile in the driver’s seat, his face pale and his legs trembling.

Gu Siting’s black eyes swept over the leader fiercely, “Do you want to continue?”

They had all witnessed just how formidable Gu Siting’s skills were.

To call him a sharpshooter was no overstatement!

One by one, they dared not make any rash moves.

It wasn’t long before a group of professional workers arrived.

Gu Siting looked back at Ming Yao, “They are professional grave relocators; your mother and grandfather’s graves will be handled by them!”

Under the golden sunlight, the man’s profile seemed to be haloed, like a deity descended from the heavens, appearing before her just when she needed help the most.

Ming Yao’s eyelashes quivered slightly, her nose tingled, and a flush of red appeared in her eyes as her voice came out hoarsely, “Thank you.”

Gu Siting could not bear to see Ming Yao with red eyes; her appearance was even more pitiable than crying.

He lifted his large hand and patted her head, “It’s alright now, no need to cry.”

Ming Yao sniffled, “I’m not crying.”

Gu Siting’s lips curved slightly at the sight of her feigning strength. He was about to say something when suddenly, in the quiet air, a series of eerie beeping sounds began.

The gravediggers had taken out Ming Ying’s ash box, but underneath it was a…

“Move it!”

One of the workers shouted loudly.

Gu Siting turned back and saw a dark object with a timer rapidly counting down, with only 60 seconds left. He stepped over and stomped on the timer.

The eerie beeping noise stopped.

Gu Siting looked coldly at Ming Yao and the others, “Let’s get out of here now!”

Ming Yao snapped back to reality, her complexion changing. She quickly ordered Jing Hang and the others to leave, but she didn’t move herself. Instead, she walked up to Gu Siting, “I’ll stay and hold it down, you go!”

As soon as Ming Yao finished speaking, the bizarre beeping started again.

This time, the countdown was even faster.

Ming Yao grabbed Gu Siting’s large hand, “Let’s go together!”

Gu Siting’s brows knitted together; he knew that waiting for rescue might be too late.

There were only thirty seconds left on the timer.

He grabbed Ming Yao’s hand back, pulling her to run outside quickly.

Soon, a huge explosion erupted behind them.

A powerful blast, a massive shockwave, as if a volcano had erupted.

A wave of heat rushed at the pair.

Without thinking, Gu Siting wrapped his arms around Ming Yao, pinning her beneath him.

He used his own back to block the impact and the blast of heat!

Protected under Gu Siting in an instant, Ming Yao’s heart contracted fiercely.

She immediately turned her head to look at the man, “Gu Siting, how are you? Are you hurt?”

Gu Siting’s face was dark and grim, his narrow eyes smeared with a layer of crimson. He propped himself up from the ground and stood, “It’s nothing.” He extended his hand and pulled Ming Yao to her feet.

He was not unhurt, his back was burning with pain.

Ming Yao quickly sensed something was amiss, she smelled the odor of blood.

She moved around to his back and glanced, “You’re injured, get to the hospital quickly!”

…

Ming Yao also received a minor injury, and she and Gu Siting entered the doctor’s office separately to be bandaged.

Her injury was not serious and was soon treated.

She came out looking for Gu Siting.

He was still not out of the doctor’s office.

She closed her eyes, her heart filled with complex emotions.

In a moment of crisis, he had disregarded his own life and shielded her with his body.

Wasn’t he supposed to hate her?

Why be so foolish?

Ming Yao bit her lip hard, a thin layer of mist forming in her eyes.

After a while, Gu Siting came out.

His left shoulder and arm were injured, and the doctor had already treated his wounds.

Seeing Ming Yao with red-rimmed eyes and a guilty expression, Gu Siting raised an eyebrow, “Don’t flatter yourself, I didn’t save you because I still have feelings for you.”

His gaze was ice cold, “I guess Yin Zhe wanted to retaliate against you, after all, it’s a grudge between him and me, and it wouldn’t be good if you were involved!”

Ming Yao had felt a moment of sympathy for him, but after hearing his harsh words, her guilt and self-reproach quickly vanished.

“If that’s the case, I’ll be going back now!”

Old Madam Ming had been frightened and agitated today, and she fainted when she and Gu Siting were leaving the cemetery.

Gu Siting watched Ming Yao’s retreating figure, making no attempt to keep her.

As Ming Yao reached the corner, she couldn’t help but look back.

The man had already followed the nurse into the ward.

…

Back at the Ming Family home, Old Madam Ming had already woken up.

Ming Yao checked her pulse; there was no major issue, she had just been a bit startled.

“Yao girl, how is Xiao Gu?”

“His shoulder and arm are injured, but it’s nothing serious.”

Although Old Madam Ming had not entered the cemetery, she could imagine the perilous scene.

“I think he still cares for you in his heart, why did you divorce?”

Originally, Old Madam Ming did not know about Ming Yao and Gu Siting’s divorce–it was Ming Wan who informed her before heading to the capital city.

Deliberately provoking her!

“Grandma, he and I are fated but not destined for each other.”

“Xiao Gu is a good person, your grandfather and mother managed to relocate the graves smoothly, thanks to him!”

Ming Yao nodded.

“I had the servants stew soup; you can take it to the hospital for Xiao Gu later.”

Ming Yao thought for a moment, “Okay.”

After taking a bath upstairs, Ming Yao took the soup brewed by the servant and headed to the hospital.

Arriving at Gu Siting’s ward, she saw a nurse standing at the door, about to cry, and asked in confusion, “What’s the matter?”

The nurse wiped her tears, “The patient inside is too difficult to serve.”

Gu Siting had a strong aura about him that intimidated the nurse. When she started to give him an injection and didn’t get it right, he refused to let her try again for a second time.

And it wasn’t just her; he wouldn’t even let the head nurse do it.

He had to receive an anti-inflammatory injection because of his injury.

The head nurse told her to handle it herself, after all, Fourth Master Gu in Li City was a figure like King Yama, and if she upset him, she would fear for her job prospects in the future.
