After Mr. Xiang divorced, the president regretted it

Chapter 117 Crisis 4 lurks

Allen's forehead was covered with beads of sweat. He calmly moved sideways to block the secret compartment, trying to divert the scarred man's attention. "Don't be nervous, my friend. I'm just sorting out some old things." He picked up a yellowed map from the table and unfolded it casually. "Look, this is an antique map I found recently. It is said that..."

"Stop playing tricks on me!" The scarred man waved the map away, and it fell to the ground, revealing a small piece of wood underneath, which was slightly different in color from the surrounding wood. The scarred man stared at the wood with sharp eyes, and a cruel sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "It seems that you won't cry until you see the coffin!"

Yan Jin held her breath in the secret compartment, her heart beating violently. She knew that she had been discovered. She clenched her fists and thought of a countermeasure quickly in her mind.

With a loud "bang", the scarred man kicked open the secret compartment, and Yan Jin's figure was exposed in front of everyone.

"Catch her!" Scarred man gave the order, and the men in black swarmed forward. Yan Jin knew she couldn't fight them, so she made a quick decision, pulled out a dagger from her boot, and stabbed one of the men in black.

The man in black was unable to dodge and his arm was scratched with blood. Yan Jin took the opportunity to break out of the encirclement and ran towards the door with all his strength.

"Don't let her run away!" the scarred man roared and chased after her with his men.

Yan Jin dodged left and right in the narrow corridor, desperately trying to avoid the pursuit of the men in black. Her physical strength was gradually exhausted, but she knew that she could not stop. Once she was caught, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Bang!" Another gunshot rang out, and the bullet flew past Yan Jin's ear, leaving a deep bullet hole on the wall. Yan Jin was startled and broke out in a cold sweat. She looked back and saw the scarred man holding a gun, approaching step by step... The bullet almost flew past Yan Jin's ear, and the sharp sound of breaking through the air exploded in her ears. Fear entangled her heart like a vine. She didn't dare to look back, and could only run forward desperately. The adrenaline in her body soared, making her temporarily forget the fatigue and fear. She only had one thought: to survive!

On the other side, Xiang Yu, who was thousands of miles away, was listening to Assistant Chen's report with a serious expression. "...We checked Ms. Yan's recent itinerary and found that she went to an antique shop. The owner of this shop has connections with a smuggling gang abroad, and..." Assistant Chen's voice was trembling, "And we found out that what Ms. Yan went to investigate this time is likely related to this smuggling gang, they..."

"Speak to the point!" Xiang Yu stood up suddenly, his tone sharp, and his powerful aura seemed to freeze the air around him.

"This smuggling gang is notoriously brutal. They..." Assistant Chen took a deep breath and said, "They may have already attacked Mr. Yan!"

Xiang Yu felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head. He closed his eyes, and Yan Jin's stubborn and strong face appeared in his mind. His heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Arrange a private plane immediately. I want to rush over as quickly as possible!" Xiang Yu suddenly opened his eyes, with a cold light flashing in his eyes. "Also, let PR Zhou contact the local police. At all costs, we must ensure Yan Jin's safety!"

"Yes, Mr. Xiang!" Assistant Chen and PR Zhou answered in unison, their tone filled with anxiety and worry.

Time passed by, and every second was a torment for Xiang Yu. He sat on the plane, watching the clouds flying outside the window, and replayed every moment he had spent with Yan Jin in his mind. From the initial marriage agreement, to the later mutual respect, to the current pain in his heart, he realized that he had already unknowingly fallen in love with this cold-outside-but-warm-in-heart woman.

"Yan Jin, nothing must happen to you. I won't let anything happen to you..." Xiang Yu murmured to himself, his tone full of firmness and determination.

The plane finally landed at the local airport, and Xiang Yu went straight to the police station as soon as he got off the plane. With the cooperation of the police, he quickly found the antique shop where Yan Jin disappeared. Looking at the empty shop and the bloodstains on the ground, Xiang Yu's heart sank to the bottom.

"Mr. Xiang, we have locked down the location of the suspects based on the clues. They should be hiding in an abandoned dock warehouse now." The local police chief said, "We have formulated a detailed arrest plan. Please rest assured that we will do our best to rescue the hostages!"

Xiang Yu nodded, his deep eyes flashing with a cold light. He took out his pistol, checked the magazine, then turned around without hesitation and strode towards the dock...

"Yan Jin, wait for me..."

The dim warehouse was filled with damp air and a disgusting smell of blood. Xiang Yu crouched down and moved forward cautiously in the dim light. He held the gun tightly in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, but he was not afraid at all, only firmness and determination in his eyes.

"Bang!" A gunshot was heard in the distance, breaking the silence of the warehouse and marking the beginning of the rescue operation.

"Action!" With the order from the local police chief, the police who had been lying in ambush in the surroundings rushed out and engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the criminals in the warehouse.

Amidst the hail of bullets, Xiang Yu relied on his agility and accurate marksmanship to overcome all the obstacles and approached the place where Yan Jin might be imprisoned.

"Yan Jin, hold on, I will come to rescue you right away!" Xiang Yu prayed silently in his heart, and his steps became more rapid.

Finally, he found Yan Jin in a room deep in the warehouse. At this time, Yan Jin was being held hostage by two gangsters. Although she had no obvious scars on her body, her face was pale and she was obviously frightened.

Seeing Xiang Yu appear, Yan Jin's originally dim eyes instantly brightened up, but were soon replaced by worry. "You... why are you here? It's too dangerous here, leave quickly!"

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you home." Xiang Yu gave her a reassuring look, then raised his pistol and aimed at one of the gangsters.

"Bang! Bang!" Two gunshots rang out almost at the same time, and one of the gangsters fell to the ground. Xiang Yu's left arm was hit by another bullet, and blood instantly dyed his sleeve red.

"Xiang Yu!" Yan Jin exclaimed, her eyes instantly red.

Despite the severe pain, Xiang Yu clenched his teeth and did not utter a single groan. He covered the wound with his other hand, endured the pain, and continued to fight with the remaining criminals.

In the end, with the support of the police, all the criminals were subdued and Yan Jin was successfully rescued.

"How are you? Are you seriously injured?" Yan Jin anxiously checked Xiang Yu's injuries, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Xiang Yu looked at the woman in front of him who was crying out of worry for him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He gently shook his head, "I'm fine, just a minor injury..."

Before he could finish his words, his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground... Medical staff arrived quickly, carried Xiang Yu on a stretcher, and sent him to the best local hospital. Yan Jin followed him all the way, anxious and even paler than Xiang Yu. She held Xiang Yu's hand tightly, her fingertips cold, as if blaming herself, if she hadn't insisted on this risky investigation, if she had noticed the danger earlier, would this have happened?

Outside the operating room, Assistant Chen paced back and forth anxiously. When he saw Yan Jin, he hurriedly went up to her: "Boss Yan, are you okay? Boss Xiang..."

Yan Jin shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm fine, how was the operation?"

"The doctor said the bullet grazed the arm and did not hurt the bone, but the patient lost too much blood and needs to be observed for a while." Assistant Chen reported truthfully.

Yan Jin finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down weakly on the bench. The thrilling scene in the warehouse kept replaying in her mind. The image of Xiang Yu struggling to save her and being shot and falling to the ground was as deep as a brand, causing her great pain.

After an unknown amount of time, the lights in the operating room finally went out, and the doctor came out and took off his mask: "The operation was successful, the patient needs to rest, and family members can go in to visit."

Yan Jin stood up almost immediately and walked quickly into the ward. Xiang Yu lay on the bed with a pale face, breathing steadily, but his brows were still furrowed, as if he was enduring pain.

Seeing him like this, Yan Jin's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand. Heartache, self-blame, fear, all kinds of emotions intertwined together, making it almost impossible for her to breathe. She sat gently on the bed, holding Xiang Yu's uninjured hand, and whispered: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault..."

Xiang Yu slowly opened his eyes and smiled weakly: "Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking about? It's my fault for making you worry."

"You saved me without caring about your own safety. Do you know how scared I was?" Yan Jin's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.

"I promised you that I would protect you. I'll keep my word." Xiang Yu raised his hand with difficulty and gently wiped the tears from the corners of Yan Jin's eyes. "Don't cry. I'm relieved to see that you are okay."

In the next few days, Yan Jin stayed by Xiang Yu's side and took good care of him. She wiped his body, fed him, read newspapers for him, and told him stories, just like the countless ordinary days and nights they had spent together.

Xiang Yu looked at the gentle and considerate woman in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart. In the past, he was used to her care, but never really cherished her efforts, and only regretted it after losing her. Now, although there is an insurmountable gap between them, he still covets this warmth, even if it is only for a moment.

"Yan Jin," Xiang Yu called softly, "Let's... start over, okay?"

Yan Jin paused, looked out the window, his eyes were complicated, and he remained silent.
