Reincarnation: I Married My Ex's Brother

Chapter 240 - I’m Really a Man



Chapter 240: I’m Really a Man

Wei Xin looked at the two of them and could not help but snort with jealousy.

As she saw Qiao Jiusheng and Fang Yusheng getting more and more blissful while she was still single, Wei Xin instantly hated this sinful society.

“Alright, alright! If there’s no problem with the gown, get lost quickly. It’s annoying to look at you.” Out of sight, out of mind! Wei Xin’s eyes twitched when she saw the two of them showing off their love.

Fang Yusheng tilted his head and looked at Wei Xin. His expression turned serious, and his eyes contained gratefulness. “Thank you.” He was not stupid. These two sets of clothes definitely cost more than two million. Wei Xin specially designed clothes for people, and every piece she made was a work of art. Two million was really just a friendly price.

Wei Xin sneered. “Why are you thanking me? The real sincere thank you is money.” Wei Xin reached out to Fang Yusheng. “Young Master, pay me.”

Fang Yusheng did not blink and smoothly answered, “You’re my Ah Sheng’s woman. In a family, talking about money hurts the relationship.”

“You’re shameless too.”

Wei Xin pointed at the door and said to them, “Change your clothes, and get lost! I’ll get someone to send the dresses to you.”

Fang Yusheng pulled Qiao Jiusheng and rolled away. He seemed afraid that Wei Xin would feel regretful and ask him for money.

Qiao Jiusheng was pulled out of the door by Fang Yusheng. Her mouth twitched. “Can’t the two of you get along well?”

Fang Yusheng vaguely hummed, but no one knew what he was thinking.

After getting into the car, Fang Yusheng put on his sunglasses and said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Although Wei Xin is indecent, the clothes she designs look good.”

Qiao Jiusheng felt honored. “Of course.”

She lowered her head and adjusted the laces of her sports shoes before starting the car and leaving.

The car drove out of the street where Wei Xin’s Studio was located and drove into the city road that had fewer people. It was two o’clock in the afternoon, and the weather was very hot. There were not many cars on the road.

Fang Yusheng was looking at the scenery by the street when suddenly, he pursed his lips and asked Qiao Jiusheng, “Ah Sheng, how are your driving skills?”

“If I drive, I’m like a fish in water, natural and smooth.” Saying that, Qiao Jiusheng increased her speed, wanting to prove her driving skills. If not for the occasion, she would’ve made a sharp turn and shown Fang Yusheng.

“Really?” Fang Yusheng smiled and said, “I have a mission for you.”

“What?”

Fang Yusheng sarcastically smiled. “Get rid of the bugs behind us.”

When Qiao Jiusheng heard this, her expression changed.

She pretended to unintentionally glance at the rearview mirror and saw that an ordinary Volkswagen was indeed following them. Patting the steering wheel of the Cayenne sedan under her, she said, “We should have driven the 200 yuan car today.” That car was only fast enough.

Fang Yusheng glanced at her abdomen. “Safety first.”

Qiao Jiusheng pursed her lips. Even though she appeared very relaxed, her sitting posture was very upright.

Fang Yusheng saw that she was nervous, so he patted her leg and leaned their heads against each other as if they were whispering sweet nothings. Then, he said to her, “Hang in there for half an hour. Bufan will come and pick us up. Try to drive to a crowded place first.”

Qiao Jiusheng nodded and maintained the speed of the car.

They turned a corner and drove toward the crowded streets. The car behind them also turned the corner.

It was indeed following them.

When Qiao Jiusheng saw that the car was only following them from afar and did not do anything else, she could not help but frown. “Yusheng, something’s wrong.”

Fang Yusheng realized it too.

“They are only following us?” Qiao Jiusheng was puzzled.

Fang Yusheng frowned and thought about it. He could not guess the motives of those people behind him.

Qiao Jiusheng heard some beeps and subconsciously glanced at the time on the dashboard. She saw

2: 42 p.m.

When she heard the beeping sound, she had thought that it was almost time, and the smartphone was just reporting that.

Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, she thought of something. Qiao Jiusheng’s expression drastically changed. She shouted at Fang Yusheng, “The car is going to explode!” With that said, she turned the car around and stopped it by the roadside.

At the same time, Fang Yusheng opened the car door, unbuckled his seatbelt, and then immediately unbuckled Qiao Jiusheng’s seatbelt. The two of them jumped out of their respective car doors together. The moment they jumped out, Qiao Jiusheng staggered up, but Fang Yusheng pulled her into his arms.

Fang Yusheng brought her and quickly ran toward the flowers by the roadside.

Qiao Jiusheng followed Fang Yusheng’s footsteps. The two of them ran so fast that she could not hear anything.

Her chest swelled, and she felt suffocated.

After she had run for a long time, a violent explosion suddenly resounded in her ears.

Bang!

Qiao Jiusheng’s ears buzzed from the explosion.

Behind her, a red light spread and rose into the air.

The air suddenly rose a few degrees.

The heatwave rolled over from behind. Qiao Jiusheng widened her eyes, her pupils constricting as she froze.

She stood rooted to the ground for a moment. She could not help but turn around to look at the exploding car behind her. Just as she was about to turn around, Fang Yusheng suddenly pulled her into his arms and pressed himself against her back.

“Hmph!”

Qiao Jiusheng heard Fang Yusheng’s groan.

Pu!

A bullet brushed past Fang Yusheng’s right waist and hit the stone floor in front of him.

Qiao Jiusheng looked at the bullet hole in front of her in shock.

They are armed?

Fang Yusheng is injured?

Fang Yusheng’s gaze swept across the bullet hole, and he said to Qiao Jiusheng in a low voice, “Leave.” As he spoke, Fang Yusheng had already let go of Qiao Jiusheng.

Qiao Jiusheng was stunned.

Leave?

Leave him alone to face danger?

Seeing Qiao Jiusheng staying still, Fang Yusheng urged her again. “Ah Sheng, you’re pregnant…”

When Qiao Jiusheng heard this, her eyes turned red. She wanted to cry, but she held it in. Then, she ran into the forest ahead with all her might.

She had to leave.

She could not become Fang Yusheng’s burden.

She would not undervalue herself and think that she could save Fang Yusheng by staying there.

That would only cause trouble.

Qiao Jiusheng ran for a very long time, only stopping when she felt that the pursuers wouldn’t be able to catch up. She hid behind a wall, her breathing carrying a rusty smell. With her hands on her knees, Qiao Jiusheng sat down and leaned against the wall. She covered her face with her hands and softly howled.

The television was full of lies.

When there was a real danger, how could there be time to say goodbye, tell her last words, and kiss? When there was danger, every second of delay was fatal.

Her abdomen hurt a little. She was probably tired from running too fast.

Qiao Jiusheng held onto the wall and stood up, wiping her eyes. When she had jumped out of the car, she did not have her phone with her. Thus, at this moment, she had no money or phone.

Qiao Jiusheng looked up and sized up the surroundings, realizing that this was a district.

She took a deep breath and quickly walked to the guardhouse in the district to borrow the phone from the guard.

She first called the police and tried to maintain her composure. She told the police all the details about the place and time of the accident, as well as the fact that the murderer had a gun with him. After hanging up the phone, Qiao Jiusheng called Qi Bufan. Qi Bufan did not pick up the phone as he was probably rushing to Fang Yusheng’s end.

Qiao Jiusheng’s hands trembled. She was frightened, but she was not a child who had yet to experience big things.

She used her left hand to hit the back of her trembling right hand, then picked up the phone and called the hospital.

As soon as the call connected, she said, “Someone from Wuren Avenue near Jiacheng’s Rongyuan Estate was shot and injured. Please immediately drive the ambulance to Wuren Avenue to save him.”

Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Qiao Jiusheng hung up.

She thanked the guard.

When she had been on the phone just now, the guard had been standing by the side. After hearing the whole story, the guard knew that this woman had been chased. He kindly reminded Qiao Jiusheng, “Miss, there are police officers in this district. Pass through the alley across here, and you will reach the district police station. You can go there to look for the police.”

Qiao Jiusheng thanked the guard and ran across the street toward the police station.

She ran inside the police station and roared, “Someone is killing people on Wuren Avenue. The killer has a lethal weapon on him. I need help.”

This was a very small police station. It had just started work, and there happened to be a theft case in Jia City’s Rong Yuan district today. A few police officers had gone to deal with the case. At this time, only the police officer on duty and an intern policewoman were in the police station.

Upon hearing Qiao Jiusheng report the case, the intern policewoman quickly picked up her stun baton and picked up a bunch of keys. She said to Qiao Jiusheng, “Where is that place? Get in the car and bring me there!”

The policewoman’s voice was clean and harsh.

Qiao Jiusheng did not even have the time to look at the intern policewoman before following her into the car.

***

On the other hand, Fang Yusheng saw that Qiao Jiusheng had left. He quickly squatted and ducked into the low bushes.

Seeing Fang Yusheng enter the haystack, the people in the car frowned.

“Didn’t the employer say that he’s blind?” This person’s reaction did not seem like that of a blind person.

The person beside him also revealed a surprised look. “I’ve never seen a blind person who can run so fast.”

“Should we chase him?”

“The employer wants him dead. Chase him!”

The two of them got out of the car. Both of them were dressed in ordinary t-shirts and jeans.

Just as the two of them were about to enter the haystack to search for Fang Yusheng, two private cars arrived at the scene.

Upon the sight of the burning car, the two cars hurriedly stopped.

The driver walked down and looked at the burning Cayenne sedan from afar. He took out his phone and called the fire engine.

When the two criminals saw that someone had arrived, they looked at each other and tacitly put away their weapons before quickly returning to the car.

In the haystack, Fang Yusheng bit a wooden stick.

He was in so much pain that his face turned pale.

Fang Yusheng heard people talking in the distance. After confirming that his pursuers had left, he released the piece of wood in his mouth.

He stretched out his left hand and touched his right shoulder. “Sss…” There was a bloody hole in his shoulder blade. He had been hit while hiding in the flowers. However, he could endure it very well. He had been afraid that his pursuers would discover his hiding place, so he had not made a sound. Other than that, his waist was also injured. This wound was not a serious one. It was a wound caused by the bullet brushing past his waist when he was protecting Qiao Jiusheng.

Fang Yusheng looked at the blood on his hand and muttered, “D*mn! I’m indeed a man.”

The police car stopped by the roadside. The policewoman glanced at the car that was still burning and turned to ask Qiao Jiusheng, “Is it here?”

Qiao Jiusheng hurriedly nodded and rushed out of the door, running straight to the flowers by the forest near the road. “Fang Yusheng! Yusheng!” She was not sure if Fang Yusheng was still here. She held onto the hope that Fang Yusheng had escaped the calamity. She hoped that he was still alive.

If Fang Yusheng has been killed or kidnapped, then…

Qiao Jiusheng’s face turned pale.

At this moment, a dying voice came from the haystack—

“I’m, I’m…”

Upon hearing Fang Yusheng’s voice, Qiao Jiusheng almost cried tears of joy.

Fang Yusheng was truly relieved when he heard Qiao Jiusheng’s voice.

Qiao Jiusheng crawled into the haystack and found the injured Fang Yusheng. When she saw his blood-stained shirt, her eyes turned red and became misty. She held back her tears and squatted, wanting to help Fang Yusheng up.

However, perhaps because she had been too frightened, Qiao Jiusheng’s body was so weak that she could not help Fang Yusheng up.

At this moment, a pair of long arms stretched over toward her.

“I’ll do it.”

An unfamiliar woman’s voice resounded in Qiao Jiusheng’s ear. Qiao Jiusheng tilted her head and saw the policewoman.

The policewoman was indeed quite big, and she helped Fang Yusheng up.

Qiao Jiusheng said to the policewoman, “Thank you.”

The policewoman looked up and opened her eyes to look at Qiao Jiusheng. She reassuringly smiled at her and said, “This is what we should be doing.” With that said, the policewoman held Fang Yusheng’s left arm and walked toward the police car. Qiao Jiusheng followed them.

After they got into the car, the policewoman gave Fang Yusheng emergency treatment.

She cut Fang Yusheng’s shirt and tied his wound with a bandage to prevent excessive blood loss.

Qiao Jiusheng held Fang Yusheng’s left hand with one hand and comforted him, but her eyes were fixed on the overly beautiful policewoman.
