Transmigrating Into A Female Side Character As A Prodigal Doctor-Chapter 42 - Are You Afraid Of Me?

One second, he was still talking, and the next, he was lying in a pool of blood. Zhou Chuan’s death stunned everyone. His henchmen stared at him in a daze, forgetting to fire their guns.

When they came back to their senses, the car window had already been rolled up. The bullets that were fired collided with the iron shell and fell to the ground in vain.

Gu Shen pulled Yan Xi into his arms in an effort to make her feel better.

Gu Yi, who was in the driver’s seat, started the car while his enemy was still in shock. He pressed the accelerator hard and forced a way out.

The cars behind him immediately started chasing after him. Gu Yi was holding the steering wheel with one hand and shooting at the cars behind him with another hand.

“Zhou Chuan is already dead, but they’re still not giving up. Looks like they’re not working for Zhou Chuan.” Gu Shen rolled down the window and fired a shot. The bullet landed accurately on one of the cars.

“I wonder who this person trying to kill you is.” Gu Yi gritted his teeth and pressed harder on the accelerator.

“Go back and find it out. Whoever…” He fired another shot that went through the eyebrows of the man in the driver’s seat behind them. “They are, kill them all.”

A few minutes later, several Maybachs were seen driving towards them. Looking at the license plate, Gu Yi recognised it and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Finally, he’s here.” he mumbled as the car turned around.

Gu Er and the rest came out of the car with guns. After an intense and deafening gunfight, the night was again enveloped in silence.

“President, they’re all taken care of. Three are still barely breathing.”

Gu Shen nodded and said in an indifferent voice, “Take them to Gu Qi.”

“Understood.”

The car they were sitting on was pretty much a scrap now. Gu Er took out a wheelchair from the back seat and helped Gu Shen into it.

“Yan Xi.” Gu Shen reached out his hand to Yan Xi, who was still in the car. “Come down.”

Yan Xi was still curled up in the corner. She looked like her soul was taken away and she was hiding from a demon. The fear in her eyes was obvious. 𝘧𝔯e𝗲𝙬ℯ𝙗𝓷o𝘷e𝗹.𝐜𝑜𝒎

Gu Shen’s eyes darkened and he repeated, “Come down!”

Yan Xi looked at him with tears in her eyes.

“Gu Shen.” She shouted, “My legs are numb. I can’t walk.”

The violence in his eyes gradually disappeared. Gu Shen sighed. “Come here, I’ll carry you.”

Gu Shen was still in a wheelchair, so Yan Xi naturally wouldn’t let him carry her. She paused for a moment and got out of the car. She kept looking at Gu Shen, deliberately ignoring the tragedy around her.

Her life had always been peaceful and non-violent. The biggest conflict she experienced was some quarrels with a few cranky and stubborn old doctors in the hospital, so she had a hard time understanding what just unfolded around her.

In the car, Gu Shen could tell that she was uneasy. He said, “Are you afraid?”

“I’ve never seen anything like that.”

Gu Shen pinched her chin and forced Yan Xi to look at him. “But if you are gonna be my wife, you will constantly be faced with such encounters.”

“Is this the life you’ve been leading all these years?” Yan Xi looked at him and couldn’t help but feel bad.

The book never touched on what kind of life Gu Shen was leading. All it said about him was that his status was illustrious, but why he was so powerful was left unmentioned.

“So you’re afraid?” Gu Shen pinched tighter. He knew that he was angry, but he did not know why.

“I’m not afraid of you. I just think…” Yan Xi paused and said frankly,” I just don’t want you to experience these. I’m just afraid that one day, you would…”

“I hope you can be happy, healthy, and safe, even if you don’t have money.”

Gu Shen loosened his grip, but his hand did not move away. Instead, he rested his hand on her chin gently, his face indescribably soft.

“Yan Xi.” He spoke again, his voice dry and tight. “Remember what you said today. Don’t ever be afraid of me.”

“I will.”

The group of Maybachs drove into the villa. Uncle Hai, who was already waiting at the door, quickly went over. “How is it? Is Master injured?”

“I’m fine.” Gu Shen’s expression was calm, as if nothing had happened, but the corners of his eyes were red.

Gu Yi helped him out of the car. Uncle Hai took a few steps forward and was about to push the wheelchair, but Yan Xi beat him to it.

The two of them looked very natural, like a perfect couple, and both of them felt that it was how it was supposed to be done.

“Why are you standing there?” Gu Shen glanced at them. “Get the servant to fill the bathtub. I want to shower.”

“Yes.”

“Wait.” Gu Shen stopped them. “Prepare the bathtub for Yan Xi too.”

This time, Uncle Hai hesitated before answering. He wondered if it was because Madam took a bullet for Master so that he treated her kindly tonight. But Madam didn’t seem to be wounded anywhere. With a doubtful expression, he replied, “Yes..”
