Chapter 898: Chapter 898: Who is Gu Zhilan 10

The gunshot was shockingly sudden, leaving everyone stunned as they watched Lan Song fall to the ground. Lan Li turned around fiercely and ran over, slapping Lan Song’s arm, "Tell me! Where is Gu Zhilan! Tell me quickly!"

But how could Lan Song, who had just been shot in the head, respond to Lan Li? Lying on the ground, his blood spurted, splashing onto the hand of Lan Li and He Zhilan nearby. Lan Song’s eyes were wide open, refusing to close in death.

And He Zhilan, at the moment of Lan Song’s fall, collapsed straight onto the ground.

He Teng ran over quickly and immediately picked He Zhilan up in his arms, "Zhilan, don’t be afraid, there is nothing to worry about now~ we are not scared~"

While comforting He Zhilan, He Teng hurriedly untied the ropes from her hands, helped her put on his clothes, then held He Zhilan tightly in his embrace before lifting her up, "I’m taking you to the hospital."

When the warmth from He Teng’s clothes enveloped her, all of He Zhilan’s fears and worries broke through, and she sobbed painfully in He Teng’s arms.

"He Teng!" Lan Li punched directly into He Teng’s face, "Who allowed you to shoot! Who gave you the courage to fire! Lan Song knew Gu Zhilan’s whereabouts! He knew! You killed him, now who will tell me where Gu Zhilan is!"

"Captain Lan!" Kang Xing ran over, "It wasn’t our deputy captain who killed Lan Song! Although the deputy captain raised his gun and pulled the trigger, it was your man who shot and killed him!"

Saying this, Kang Xing pointed directly to a person hidden among the crowd brought by Lan Li. Kang Xing was closest to He Teng, so he saw most clearly that He Teng did not fire.

Kang Xing did not deny that He Teng had the intent to kill, but ultimately, He Teng did not manage to shoot before Lan Li’s man beat him to it.

He Teng explained nothing, nor did he say anything. The facts were as such, even if it wasn’t Lan Li’s man who acted, in order to protect He Zhilan completely, He Teng would definitely have taken action himself, as just a delay of two more seconds, he would have fired.

Holding He Zhilan, He Teng did not even glance at Lan Li before he led his men directly away from Wenfeng Mountain, rushing He Zhilan to the hospital at top speed.

Unquestionably, after enduring the fright of kidnapping and the cold winter, He Zhilan fell seriously ill.

Lan Song didn’t aim to take He Zhilan’s life, hence, the wound on her neck looked terrifying but, after wiping the blood away, it was merely a superficial wound, Lan Song didn’t strike with lethal force.

More severe were the frostbites on He Zhilan’s feet, walking along the road barefoot; stones, dried tree branches, and ice severely damaged her once beautiful feet to almost a horrific extent.

Watching the doctor remove so many small pebbles and fine twigs from He Zhilan’s feet, He Teng’s heart clenched in pain. Holding He Zhilan, who was biting her lip in pain, in his embrace, he wished he could have undertaken this ordeal instead of He Zhilan.

"Wife, I’m sorry, I didn’t protect you well~" He Teng whispered an apology, his hands tightly shielding He Zhilan’s chest, not letting her see her own feet.

Had he known Lan Song would harm He Zhilan, He Teng would have taken her with him wherever he went, never giving Lan Song a chance.

After He Teng left with He Zhilan and his men from Wenfeng Mountain, Lan Li nearly lost his mind, pressing a gun straight to the forehead of the man who fired, "Did I let you shoot? Did I permit you to shoot! Didn’t you hear me arrange a car and money for him?
