Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Encounter with Assassins
Mi Yi took off the wig cap on his head and said, “Okay, I’ll go back with you.”
Yuan Xi smiled gently at Mi Yi, “Let’s go.”
After coming down from the lighthouse, Gu Hanchen asked, “Where’s the restroom here? Because you rushed me over, I’ve been holding it in for a long time.”
Mi Yi said, “Everywhere here is a restroom; the seawater will wash it away.”
Gu Hanchen frowned and said, “Mi Yi, I knew you still wanted to harm me. How could I, Gu Hanchen, ever do such a thing as relieving myself anywhere?”
Mi Yi pointed in a direction, “There’s a restroom over there.”
Yuan Xi said, “We’ll wait for you in the car.”
Yuan Xi followed Mi Yi into the car, where Liang Suisui was fiddling with Gu Hanchen’s electric car. “Xiao Xi, Gu Hanchen’s new car is so cool. You set a theme, and there are changing light patterns with text in the back; I’m so envious.”
Mi Yi looked at the car and said, “Why doesn’t Gu Hanchen drive his multimillion-dollar supercars anymore? This car really doesn’t match Gu Hanchen’s status.”
Yuan Xi chuckled and said, “The last few times he drove his supercars, either Ren Tian or Bo Fan crashed into them. After the accidents, he honestly started driving cars worth only two or three hundred thousand.”
Gu Hanchen came over and saw Liang Suisui sitting in the driver’s seat, “Do you want to try driving?”
Liang Suisui nodded, “Yeah.”
Gu Hanchen sat in the passenger seat, “Go ahead, do you want to experience the automatic driving service? There’s also a special horn sound.”
Liang Suisui was playing while driving, until they entered the main road, when a collision force came from behind.
Everyone in the car was thrown forward due to inertia.
Gu Hanchen exclaimed, “Three car accidents in a year?”
Mi Yi looked at the car behind them as the thud of gunshots came from the rear window. The glass shattered, and Mi Yi, along with Yuan Xi, ducked down as bullets flew, and glass sprayed over Mi Yi.
Yuan Xi was shielded by Mi Yi, and only got a couple of scratches on her back.
“Damn!”
Gu Hanchen asked, “What’s going on?”
Mi Yi said, “Drive, quickly, it’s Bo Chi’s men! They’re probably here to silence me!”
Gu Hanchen turned to Liang Suisui, “Step on the accelerator, ah, I mean, the power pedal, floor it. This car’s top speed can match a supercar.”
The gunshots continued from behind; three black Audis were in hot pursuit.
Liang Suisui was already panicking, and Gu Hanchen said to her, “Change seats, hurry over here!”
Liang Suisui asked, “How do we switch seats?”
She gripped the steering wheel tightly, “I wish I was unconscious right now; I don’t want to live through a scenario like in the movies!”
Yuan Xi crouched under the seat, “Suisui, I trust your driving skills, head into the city.”
Yuan Xi took out her phone, intending to call the police, but saw she had missed over twenty calls from Huo Shiyuan, since she had put her phone on silent earlier.
Yuan Xi said to Gu Hanchen, “Gu Hanchen, you call the police.”
Gu Hanchen exclaimed, “Come on, Liang Suisui, be careful, the curves, watch the curves!”
The screeching of brakes resounded heavily, and the whistling of the wind came through the broken window. Liang Suisui almost drifted around the bend, barely missing the guardrail.
Liang Suisui said, “Chu Lin was somewhat useful; I’m glad he took me to drive race cars.”
Yuan Xi answered Huo Shiyuan’s call, and heard his slightly angry voice, “Shiyan, I’m sorry.”
Huo Shiyuan’s voice came through, “Where are you now?”
Yuan Xi said, “We’re on Bin Hai Road with Gu Hanchen, Mi Yi, and Suisui in a car. Bo Chi’s men are after Mi Yi to silence him, so now three cars are chasing us.”
As she spoke, the sound of bullets hitting the car was unmistakably clear.
Through the shattered rear window, the wind kept pouring in, making it hard for Yuan Xi to hear Huo Shiyuan’s voice clearly.
Yuan Xi’s voice trembled, “Shiyan, if, if anything happens to me, please take good care of the two children… If… If you have to find another mother for Lele and Anan, you must find a girl who loves children. If one day you love a stepmother more than the children, then give Lele and Anan to Yuanzi to raise. Tell Lele and Anan that I love them very much!”
Huo Shiyuan spoke sternly, “Xiao Xi! The only mother Lele and Anan will ever have is you, no one else will become their mother!”
Yuan Xi’s voice choked up, “My inheritance, leave two million for my grandparents, one million for Jiaojiao, and the rest for the two children…”
As the car sped along, Liang Suisui saw the speed decreasing and the battery power dwindling. “Gu Hanchen, didn’t you say this car had a range of seven hundred kilometers? Now the range is showing only thirty kilometers left, and we can’t speed up anymore, the accelerator is already floored!”
Behind them, the pursuing car seemed to be getting closer, and Liang Suisui was not only trying to maintain speed but also quickly dodging obstacles ahead — not out of fear of hitting them but because Gu Hanchen’s car had an automatic parking feature, which would cause it to stop immediately.
Hearing Huo Shiyuan’s voice on the phone, Yuan Xi’s consciousness began to blur. “Little brother, I also want to tell you, I love you very much, I’m so happy I met you in this life, to have your favor, I love you…”
Huo Shiyuan said, “Xiao Xi! We’re almost there, can you hear the sound of the helicopter?”
Yuan Xi’s consciousness began to fade even further, “I love you, little brother…”
Mi Yi looked at the unconscious Yuan Xi and said, “Xiao Xi! Xiao Xi!”
Liang Suisui asked anxiously, “What’s wrong with her?”
Mi Yi replied, “She’s passed out!”
Gu Hanchen asked, “Is it because of too much blood loss? Do I hear the sound of police sirens?”
Liang Suisui, seeing the police car approach rapidly, breathed a sigh of relief — only to realize Gu Hanchen’s car was slowing down further, until it was hit hard from behind by the car chasing them, sending the vehicle crashing into a tree by the side of the road.
Liang Suisui instinctively tried to protect her side of the car, with the passenger seat taking a hard hit against the tree.
The moment they got out of the car, the police from the cruiser hurried over.
After exiting the car, Liang Suisui quickly opened the rear door and dragged out the unconscious Yuan Xi and the blood-covered Mi Yi, while the police officers pulled the badly injured Gu Hanchen, who had a severe head wound, from the passenger seat.
The vehicle burst into flames the instant Gu Hanchen was removed.

Beep, beep, beep.
Yuan Xi heard the sound of machinery, slowly opening her eyes, first noticing the scent of disinfectant.
As Yuan Xi’s eyes gradually opened, she saw Huo Shiyuan standing by the window.
Yuan Xi’s consciousness returned little by little. She remembered being chased and silenced by Bo Chi’s men with Mi Yi… Then, it seemed she had passed out!
“Little bro…”
Huo Shiyuan, hearing the noise, walked over to Yuan Xi with a deeply furrowed brow, clearly angry, “Why didn’t you wait for me to go to the hospital to see Mi Yi together?”
Yuan Xi replied, “I thought with Gu Hanchen, we would be fine. Who would have known that Bo Chi’s lackeys would be so vicious as to want Mi Yi’s life? Speaking of which, are Suisui and Mi Yi alright?”
“Mi Yi has some superficial wounds, Suisui is fine. You…”
Yuan Xi looked at her body, which didn’t seem to have any discomfort, “What happened to me? Why did I pass out?”
Huo Shiyuan replied with slight annoyance, “You starved, hypoglycemia. Today you only had a cup of coffee in the morning.”
Yuan Xi: “…”
Yuan Xi said, “It’s good that Suisui, Mi Yi, and I are all fine, it’s really good. Just now, I was really scared… that I might not be able to accompany Lele and Anan anymore, that I might not see you again, and that I might lose you…”
Hearing Yuan Xi’s words, Huo Shiyuan’s anger dissipated. He walked to the bedside and took Yuan Xi into his arms, holding her tightly. The moment she had dictated her last will, he felt as if he couldn’t breathe.
Huo Shiyuan kissed Yuan Xi’s lips, feeling her still in his arms.
Yuan Xi looked into Huo Shiyuan’s deep eyes, “Thank goodness I can still be in your arms, thank goodness everyone is okay.”
Huo Shiyuan touched Yuan Xi’s head, “Not everyone is okay. Gu Hanchen is still in critical condition, and we can’t rule out the risk to his life.”
Yuan Xi expressed her concern, “Suisui, Mi Yi, and I aren’t unscathed? How could Gu Hanchen be so severely injured? He was already in danger after being hit by Bo Fan last time. Shouldn’t he have good fortune after escaping death?”
