“Cough, cough”. Qi Mo who was in a coma suddenly coughed twice and a trickle of blood slowly flowed down from the corners of his mouth startling everyone in the room. It was a hemorrhage in the viscera that caused him to cough up blood.

 

For a brief moment, Li Xin noticed Qi Mo’s face turning blue and his breathing becoming difficult. She instinctively clutched Qi Mo’s hand and the equipment simultaneously made a mechanical diagnostic sound: “Lung function is beginning to fail.”

 

“Quick, quick,” Juan, Red Falcon didn’t care about anything at this time. With an ugly expression on his face, he surrounded the white-haired old man and Li Hu pressing them to use the medicine.

 

Although renal failure and liver failure are all fatal symptoms but lung failure is even worse. He couldn’t breathe and wouldn’t live for long. Qi Mo’s lung failure continued to deteriorate at a fast speed. Everyone was panicking. No one had ever seen such a severe infection. They were unprepared for things like viruses, mutations, and radiations and didn’t know what to do resulting in an utterly ineffective response.

 

The white-haired old man used to work for the US Department of Defense as a nuclear radiation researcher. Later on, Qi Mo welcomed him into the Qi family. Knowing that the United States’ munitions sector relies on arms manufacturers and Qi Mo is their major supplier, he made it easier for him to obtain these individuals.

At this time, the white-haired old man said with a serious and anxious expression: “It doesn’t work, it doesn’t work at all”. Seeing that Qi Mo was injected with several antibodies one after another, the speed of failure did not slow down at all. The red lights lit up one by one as the various organs of Qi Mo’s body began to weaken. The authority in the field of nuclear radiation medical community was so anxious that he didn’t know what to do with it.

 

“You good for nothing, what have you been doing till now?! Hurry up and find a way!” Juan noticing that Qi Mo’s face becoming worse and worse, suddenly lifted the old man up by his collar, his pale face filled with rage and anguish.

 

“Let go of him! Would he be like this if you weren’t looking for the master?” At this point, Red Falcon was also nervous. Juan didn’t speak but slapped himself twice. Seeing Juan’s anxious scream, he roared back at him with an ugly face. If something went wrong with the master, he would definitely fight Juan.

 

“Don’t make any trouble!”

 

“Hurry up and give master the medicine!”

 

The mood became tensed when Red Falcon and White Falcon unexpectedly intervened. They were able to persuade Juan not to speak anymore with the two sentences. At this point, the most crucial thing is to save Master or all would be lost.

 

“Bring out the serum, hurry up!” Li Xin, who did not join the argument suddenly shouted at this moment. At the same time, she extended her hand to Li Hu.

 

“Give serum?” Li Hu and the white-haired old man were shocked at the same time. This was the last thing they thought of. How could a serum be used to treat such a dangerous condition? So they never considered thinking in this direction. Li Xin’s scream seemed to bring them out of their thoughts.

 

When Li Xin noticed the two of them were startled, she yelled: “What are you stunned for, doctor? Don’t you know that in a critical situation, it’s better to keep trying? Even if he’s injected, he won’t die from it! Try it right away!”

 

Li Hu and the white-haired old man exchanged a quick glance. Li Hu quickly began to collect blood from Li Xin. The white-haired old man hurriedly prepared the serum as well. Li Xin was right. Anyway, you’ll die if you don’t do anything, so why not give it a shot?

 

Li Xin grabbed Qi Mo’s hand as soon as she saw Li Hu and the others respond rapidly. She’d never been taught medicine or how to use her blood. She had just remembered that if a person had been bitten by a snake, a pinch of serum or something in the venom could cure the person. This was a simple question of logic. She was oblivious to the complexities. If the medicine wasn’t working right then, they would have to try something else. She didn’t think she has lost too much blood, and didn’t care about other people’s view.

 

A hundred cc of blood was collected and the serum was extracted in an instant using the latest technology by the most authoritative medical expert. When the room became so silent that even their sound of breathing could not be heard, Li Hu carefully took the serum and pushed it into Qi Mo’s body.

Silence. Absolute silence. The silence was so deafening that the sound of a feather dropping could be heard. Everyone opened their eyes and looked at the instrument’s display to see if it was still failing, improving, or stopping. Everyone’s heart was in their throats at this point.

“It’s gone down! It’s gone down!” The white-haired elderly man and Li Hu peered at the instrument and they yelled out excitedly as the lines that only professionals could understand fluctuated.

“Are you sure, Li Hu, that you saw correctly?” White Falcon was behind Li Hu at this time, and he swiftly reached out and grabbed Li Hu’s arm, asking him blankly. Only his slightly trembling hand revealed how tense he was.

“Really, I saw correctly… This isn’t good…what does it mean?” Li Hu, who had been cheerful before, went blue and his expressions were rigid as he saw the line fluctuations on the instrument slow down however the breathing began to quicken.

“The breathing began to increase again.” This time, the white-haired old man did not panic and his face did not grow pale. Instead, he took the needle to Li Xin’s side and stated solemnly, “Not enough serum.”

Li Xin didn’t say anything else and simply held her hand out in front of her. Donating 500cc of blood at once is not an issue. Despite the fact that she had drawn two tubes of blood in the previous two days, the amount of blood she had to give only 200cc and therefore would not kill her. Qi Mo is in desperate need of it right now. There is no problem as long as she does not die. Qi Mo acted in this manner in order to save her. She still had a conscience.

“The collapse has subsided.”

“The breathing accelerates.”

“The renal hemorrhage has stopped.”

“Cardiopulmonary function is starting to become normal.”

Seeing tube after tube of serum pumped into Qi Mo’s body, his body started to get better in every way. Despite the fact that recovery is not possible, it can be managed and the rate of their depletion reduced. This is the most crucial thing right now.

“The liver function is still a concern, and it’s still bleeding.” After a tense moment, the white-haired old guy, sweating and slightly frowning, peered at the instrument display and spoke to Li Hu.

Li Hu looked at Li Xin. The serum in his hand was depleted once more and most of Qi Mo’s bodily functions resumed. His liver function continues to be an issue. If you don’t get it under control right now, you’re going to have a lot of difficulties. Sometimes if one organ in the body stops working well, it can lead to problems with multiple organs. He is a medical doctor, thus he is well aware of the situation.

“Not working?” Red Falcon frowned and looked at Li Hu.

“Almost,” Li Hu remarked with a shake of his head.

The Black Falcon, who hasn’t spoken much said with a sullen face: “Can you relieve it or extract it?”

Li Hu gritted his teeth and said: “It’s not supposed to require so much serum. As long as it can be analyzed, copied and equipped, it can be used but we are not prepared enough and don’t know if this can be suppressed. At this time, we can’t extract it.”

Li Hu frowned as he examined the reading on the equipment again and said: “I will not be in this tough position if it is possible to alleviate it. Look at how the blood has started to leak once more.” Black Falcon, White Falcon, and others stared at the perspective image, frowning helplessly and remaining silent.

Juan, who had been stunned the entire time, couldn’t help but ask Li Hu, “Why don’t you take more?” after he saw Li Xin’s blood could genuinely fight this illness.

Li Hu locked his gaze on Li Xin, who was almost unconscious, tightly clutched the needle in his shaking hands and seriously said: “It is impossible to lose too much blood in humans or otherwise, it will be life-threatening. If you take Li Xin’s blood again, the strain on her body will be beyond what she can handle

Despite the fact that the words were not detailed, everyone in the room understood what they meant. This was also the basis for Black Falcon and Li Hu’s hesitancy. No one anticipated that a lot of blood would be required to make the serum. Qi Mo’s body was like a bottomless pit, relentlessly sucking up Li Xin’s vitality. Without Li Xin’s consent, what should be done now?

 

Juan frowned slightly as he looked at Li Xin, who was semi-comatose and then at Qi Mo, who was grasping Li Xin’s hand tightly. It was this hand that was the source of everyone’s hesitation. Everyone would not hesitate to force Li Xin to give blood if it weren’t for the fact that Qi Mo gripped her hand tightly to protect her. Everyone believed that Li Xin’s life was not as valued as Qi Mo’s.

 

But in Qi Mo’s eyes, Li Xin’s life was precious. He had tried desperately to save her and would even exchange his life for her. If he wakes up without Li Xin, he is afraid that Qi Mo will go crazy. He had known Qi Mo since he was a child and had been friends with him for many years. Knowing that Qi Mo had decided not to abandon Li Xin, he would never allow something bad to happen to her. Since Li Xin’s life, he cherished then others would not dare neglect her because there was him, so there was her.

 

“Is Li Xin’s blood very special?” Juan was not a naive person. Because Li Hu did not use other blood to supplement Li Xin, he realized a little bit in his heart.

Li Hu glanced at Juan and nodded, knowing it was difficult to hide from Juan at this point: “It’s a very rare blood type and there are not many cases in the world that can block the radiation. As a result, her blood can only be produced by herself. There’s no way to refill her blood from the blood bank. This is also the biggest problem as we understand master’s personality.”

 

“Isn’t it just a unique blood type?” Juan asked after listening to Li Hu’s ideas and confirming them.

 

Juan pondered for a while and said, “No, I found that there have been such examples but it is too rare. There are only so few cases.”

 

Li Hu nodded when he heard those words and glanced at the dialysis screen. The blood vessels were gradually congested. As long as they were not controlled, blood would ooze out immediately. Then more blood would be needed and if that situation arises he wouldn’t be able to save him.

 

Juan made up his mind then walked to the side of Li Xin. He knelt and patted her cheek lightly. Seeing that there was no reaction from her, he couldn’t help but give her a few more taps.

 

Because of the blood loss, Li Xin, who was lacking oxygen in her brain, frowned slightly and opened her eyes slowly. Seeing Juan squatting in front of her, she couldn’t help but said in a hoarse voice: “Well?”

“The kidneys and lungs have all been brought under control.” Juan continued, lowering his voice, “and the degree of failure in other organs of the body has practically ceased and is steadily improving.”

 

Li Xin couldn’t help but smile when she heard this. She glanced at Qi Mo, who was right in front of her, grabbed his hand, and said softly, “That’s good.”

 

She didn’t expect to expend so much blood. Li Hu repeatedly drew blood from her. Her aching body got numbed with time and her mind became foggy. Her thinking appeared to freeze up and her breathing became obstructed. Hearing that Qi Mo’s body was improving, even if Li Xin’s body was uncomfortable her heart remained calm and she couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

 

Seeing that Li Xin was about to close her eyes again, Juan couldn’t help but stretched out his hand to hold Li Xin’s face and said, “Don’t sleep.”

 

Seeing this, Li Xin raised an eyebrow. Juan, who didn’t even dare to touch her before became so courageous that he actually dared to hold her face but when she saw Juan’s serious and heavy eyes, Li Xin frowned slightly.

Seeing Li Xin looking into his eyes, Juan said solemnly: “Li Xin, it’s not enough. Qi still needs more.”

 

When she heard this, Li Xin became further disoriented and exclaimed, hoarsely, “It’s not enough.”

 

Juan nodded and said: “I’m sorry, Li Xin. We’ll still need another tube from you but don’t worry, it’ll be the last time. We won’t need anything else, according to Li Hu and the others, as long as we can control the abnormalities in Qi’s liver. It is about to ooze blood again now that time is running out. Could you please give me another tube, Li Xin? We can’t let him fail at the last step.”

 

Li Xin shook her head slightly, attempting to clear her mind of the disorientation. When she noticed Juan’s serious and careful gaze, she cast a glance around the room at the silent Red Falcon, Li Hu, and others. When she saw Li Hu clenching his teeth, she couldn’t help but wonder, “Will it take my life?”

 

Listening to Li Xin’s question, Li Hu stood silent for a moment and then said: “I don’t know. Taking another tube of blood will exceed your current body’s load. Ordinary people will die because of excessive blood loss while some will survive. I can’t tell. I dare not make this conclusion.”

 

“No need.” A dry and frigid voice came before Li Hu’s, with genuine fury and absoluteness mixed in, causing everyone to shiver slightly.

 

“Master, you can’t get up!” Standing next to Qi Mo, Li Hu noticed him slowly opening his eyes while trying to sit up. He quickly held Qi Mo down.

 

Qi Mo tilted his head slightly to look at Li Xin, who was also turning her head to look at him. The pale face and weak body caused Qi Mo to frown tightly. He had just heard in a daze that Li Xin was going to die. Now that he had opened his eyes, he was sure that he had never seen Li Xin look so weak. When was Li Xin not brimming with energy? Even if her body was wounded, she would return to her lively self within a day but now she is so frail that she might be carried away by the wind and it made him feel uncomfortable to look at her.

 

“Qi, you have to have a tube of serum, otherwise…”

 

“I said no.” Before Juan finished speaking, Qi Mo interrupted coldly. He intended to hoist Li Xin up while holding her hand gently but her hands and feet were so feeble that he couldn’t lift her at all. Qi Mo couldn’t help but frown deeply. He’d just passed out without warning and was so weak that he couldn’t even raise Li Xin. This damned radiation.

 

“Qi!” Seeing this, Juan couldn’t help but shout angrily at Qi Mo.

Li Xin turned her head and looked at Qi Mo. Seeing that Qi Mo’s face turned ugly, she had realized that Qi Mo couldn’t lift her. It would have been as simple as catching a mouse for Qi Mo but Li Xin couldn’t help but smile for the first time thinking that Qi Mo was helpless.

 

“You say that one more time…”

 

“Take it.” Before Qi Mo threatened Juan, Li Xin suddenly whispered. Qi Mo didn’t know how small the sound was, but nobody missed that.

 

“Damn you! I said you couldn’t die in the hands of others even if you wish to!” Qi Mo became furious when he heard Li Xin’s words and grabbed Li Xin fiercely.

 

When Li Xin noticed Qi Mo was angry, she couldn’t help but smile and say, “Even if I die, I would die in your hands, so what are you afraid about?”

 

“When has it been your turn to object to what I say?” Even if he slept in a hospital bed and didn’t have any strength, Qi Mo’s natural dominance did not wane in the least.

 

Li Hu and others who were standing on the side could not help but look at one another. Li Xin would agree. This was beyond their expectation. Qi Mo would wake up suddenly with such a strong opposition was not unexpected to them as Li Xin had always been a special person in Qi Mo’s heart.

 

Seeing that Qi Mo was acting arrogant, Li Xin couldn’t help but smile slightly, shook off Qi Mo’s hands, turned her head to Red Falcon and the others, and said, “Hold him down.”

 

Red Falcon, Black Falcon, White Falcon, and Yellow Falcon looked at one another. After looking at the fluoroscopic equipment where the blood in the blood vessels was slowly oozing out, the four of them knelt on one knee at the same time and said, “Please forgive me.” They jumped up and stood in four directions, holding down Qi Mo who was struggling to get up.

“You are so courageous.” Suddenly Qi Mo’s face turned blue. He roared at the four of them. The four looked down and didn’t dare to look at Qi Mo, but they still held his body tightly with their hands and did not relax at all.

 

Li Xin chuckled and said to Li Hu: “Take it.”

 

Li Hu saw Li Xin with a smile on her face as if calling him in her usual tone. He sat down, and his hand holding the needle trembled. He took a deep breath, walked quickly to Li Xin’s side, and looked at her arm. The arm was already full of needle holes. He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: “Sorry.” He lowered the needle quickly.

 

The needle pierced into Li Xin’s blood vessel, Li Xin couldn’t help but tremble slightly. Juan, squatting next to her, did not avoid her this time, hugged Li Xin and supported her body.

 

“Let go! Do you hear me?!” Qi Mo didn’t struggle because he lacked the strength, but the thick bloody smell and icy voice were more robust than ever, as a fierce beast, making the four Falcons tremble involuntarily. They tightly controlled Qi Mo’s body to prevent him from moving.

 

“Why are you throwing tantrum for? They are doing this for your own good.” Li Xin didn’t look at Li Hu. She turned her head, leaned on Juan’s shoulder, and looked at Qi Mo with a forced smile.

Seeing that Li Xin was talking to him, Qi Mo immediately turned his head to look at her. The cold and solemness in his eyes were like the calm before the storm, peaceful but with the power to sweep everything away. The calmness he had was on the verge of changing to madness.

 

Li Xin smiled at Qi Mo, grabbed his hands and said in a low voice: “You have saved me once so I will save you once. If you had not saved me, I would not have done this for you. Boss, if I really get to live then you will have to be gentle with me in the future. If I die, don’t blame them. You should be thankful for having such subordinates.”

 

She initially cherished her own life very much. If Qi Mo had asked her to save him with her own life at any other time, she wouldn’t even think about it, but she saw Qi Mo’s body rapidly deteriorate with his organs shutting down, all because to save her. She was not a heartless person. If people showed her proper respect, she gave back ten times. Qi Mo used his own life to save her, so how can she ignore what he did.

 

Seeing that Qi Mo was looking at her furiously, Li Xin had a faint smile on her face. This time she should pay him back with her own life. Qi Mo saved her because he didn’t want her to die in someone else’s hands. So why would she have to see him die in the hands of others? It was ridiculous. After this, they won’t owe each other anymore.

 

Qi Mo looked at Li Xin’s faint smile with a complex expression flashing across his face. It was not the usual coldness and solemnity that was always on but an expression that had never been seen on Qi Mo’s face. Qi Mo stared at Li Xin closely, saying word by word: “You better hold on to me, otherwise, I will never forgive you.”

 

Hearing Qi Mo’s words, Li Xin couldn’t help but whisper weakly: “Really domineering.” She lowered her eyes slightly. Juan hugged her tightly, while Li Hu on the side gritted his teeth and took the extracted Blood. He quickly turned around and began to collect the serum.

 

“Don’t worry, I won’t let you die. I will look for people with the same blood type of yours. No matter how few, I will find them for you. What I, Juan, promised will definitely be fulfilled!” Tightly hugging the fainted Li Xin Juan cautiously assured her.

He had already thought out a way for her. As long as Li Xin’s blood type was not absolutely unique and there were still people in this world that had the same blood type as her, with his power, he would definitely cure her even if he had to dig three feet under. He could do so, and he would never allow such a thing to happen again.

He only guarantees it now because he wanted to ensure whether Li Xin would be willing to save Qi Mo or not. He knew that for Qi Mo, Li Xin was too special. So special that Qi Mo would be desperate to save her. For Qi Mo, who always held a rigorous and calm mind, it would be a crazy move, and he was even more afraid that Qi Mo knew the result but would still choose to save her.

 

For Li Xin, Qi Mo was not unique. Saving Qi Mo several times was either just a coincidence, or it was easy for her. Otherwise, it would be someone else who would do it. Now knowing that Li Xin would be willing to give up her life to save Qi Mo, it was enough. The two of them were worn out.

 

He picked up Li Xin and gently placed her beside Qi Mo. Red Falcon and the other four also stepped aside. Qi Mo didn’t say anything else and stretched out his hands and hugged Li Xin tightly in his arms.

 

Juan took a glance, turned around and walked out of the door, and said in a deep voice, “I’ll give you an explanation.” Saying that he quickly went outside. Now Li Xin was in terrible condition. He needed time and couldn’t waste a minute or a second.

 

Li Hu quickly pushed the serum into Qi Mo’s body. Seeing that the various indicators in the instrument stopped at the position where they should be and didn’t bounce back, Li Hu couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

 

He raised his head to Red Falcon and nodded to the four others. After a flash of joy flashed on their faces, they all looked at each other. Suddenly they knelt down towards Qi Mo simultaneously, without saying a word, while Qi Mo held on to Li Xin without saying anything. There was only silence left in the room.

 

Silence, a long silence. Li Hu waited on his knees before Qi Mo’s bed and dared not say anything, letting the suffocating air spread in the room.

 

“Master, you can’t…” Maintaining the silence, Qi Mo suddenly propped up his body, got out of the bed with Li Xin, who was in a coma and walked outside. Li Hu immediately wanted to remind Qi Mo of his current condition. It’s good not to exercise and do the heavy lifting, but the words were swallowed in the throat.

 

Qi Mo said coldly without turning his head: “Go to the Law Enforcement Hall.” After that, he walked out of the room while carrying Li Xin.

 

Red Falcon and the other six people glance at one another while feeling slightly relieved. The law enforcement hall only focuses on the crime of showing disrespect and disobedience to the head, and there was no extra punishment. All of them knew that Qi Mo was not a man who had terrible character. He would never make a mistake in giving rewards to those deserving and punishment to those undeserving. Today, they did not listen to Qi Mo. They should receive punishment without any complaints.

 

As for Li Xin, although she acted against his orders, she would not be punished. Everything was voluntarily decided by Li Xin and what she did was in the good intention for Qi Mo. Whether it was sincere or entirely false, Qi Mo was obvious. It was precise because of this that they could follow Qi Mo so wholeheartedly. However, even if the reason was justified, they would still have to be punished for their disobedience. Juan would be sent to Africa for coal mining. As for them, they estimated that they would be sent to Mars.

 

Qi Mo held Li Xin in his arms and slept on his bed. He looked down at her pale face and bloodless lips. He held her tightly, as if she was going to be embedded into his body, and said word by word: “I don’t know how to be gentle. I only know that you can’t die. I will let you experience the price of going against me.” That cold, bloody breath, wondering if Li Xin, in a coma, can actually feel?

 

A day goes, night falls. Li Xin still stayed in her comatose state, and her body remained in a low-function state. If one ignored her, one would think she was no longer alive, but a closer look would reveal that everything was still normal. She was just weak, unimaginably weak.

 

However, Qi Mo’s body quickly improved. The serum extracted from Li Xin’s blood was duplicated. Qi Mo would not need to take any blood from Li Xin anymore. Amazingly his body suddenly turned normal. kThe whole body’s organs quickly started to function again, and the red spots on the surface of the body soon disappeared, recovering at a completely unimaginable speed, but the physical strength had not been restored.

 

“Master, a call from the Prince Bu Nu.” Red Falcon glanced at Qi Mo, who had a cold expression, reported in a deep voice.

Qi Mo didn’t lift his head and said, “You handle it.”

 

Red Falcon listened to Qi Mo’s order and didn’t say anything. He quickly turned around and walked out. Disrespecting the boss garners punishment of forty lashes. Obviously, the executioner had never seen the top five leaders receive the punishment together, so he became very excited. Since they got up, he had no choice but to hold on for now.

 

“Master, don’t worry too much. Mr. Juan will definitely be able to find it.” While checking out Qi Mo’s condition, Li Hu glanced at the still unconscious Li Xin on the bed and bowed his head to console him.

 

Qi Mo glanced at Li Xin, who was in a coma, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He didn’t have to worry. There is nothing that Juan cannot find and can’t handle. Li Xin would not die. As long as she could hold on for at most one day, death would not come to her. But after waking up, some accounts would need to be settled.

 

Buzz buzz. The sound of the helicopter’s propellers could be heard, and Li Hu immediately exclaimed with joy: “Mr. Juan is back!” He rushed out quickly and was ready to welcome the things that Juan had brought with him. Only Juan dared to fly directly and stop at Qi’s home in the Qi family area and in their current state.

 

Juan was walking with a stride and directly brought two people with him. Li Hu checked their blood type and whether they were sick or not without saying a word.

 

Juan walked through the room and stood in front of Qi Mo. Qi Mo saw that both eyes of Juan had dark circles around them. In the past, he once stayed up with him for seven days and seven nights without sleeping, and he never had any dark circles around his eyes. It seemed to be too exhausting this time.

 

When Juan saw Qi Mo didn’t say a word, the corner of his mouth twitched twice. He smiled and said: “Qi, how you want to punish me, you can figure it out later but first give me a day to sleep.” As he finished saying that, he directly fell asleep on Qi Mo’s sofa.

 

Qi Mo glanced at Juan, then turned around and walked towards Li Xin. He had traveled all over the five continents during the day and night. After utilizing countless relationships and contacts, he finally found these two people, so he let him sleep first. There would be time to settle accounts later when he wakes up.
