The Devil Who Devoured Snow White Chapter 227

Lu Mengjie rushed to her husband. She hugged him to save him from getting shot, her eyes were shut tight as she waited for the man to shoot but then, with her husband's reflexes, he was able to interchange their positions.

Bang!

​​

The sound of a gunshot reverberated in the room.

"N-No…" She looked up at Yong Liwei's face, her eyes filled with tears as she realized what happened. "L… Liwei?"

Yong Liwei was staring down at her. His cold and cruel gaze had long faded and was now replaced with his gentle gaze that was only for her. He gradually raised his hand to touch her cheek but stopped when he realized his blood-covered hand. Not wanting to stain her pretty face with the blood of other men, he retracted his hand from her.

She was crying again. She always did whenever he took control of the body. He could never make her smile, he was someone who was not capable of giving her happiness. All he could give her was pain and more tears. Only Han Yizhou could make her laugh, he was the only one who could put a smile on her face, and yet… his other self had shown his cowardice to her. Would Han Yizhou be able to make her smile again? Would Lu Mengjie forgive him? He hoped. He could only hope.

"I promised you… right? I'll… protect you… so… can you… at least smile for me… just this once?" He leaned down, hoping to steal even a small kiss from her but when he shut his eyes, his body went limp and he ended up fainting on her.

"Liwei!" She caught him in her arms but he was too heavy for her so his body weight ended up dragging her to the ground. She knelt on the floor, her bloodshot eyes were full of tears as it streamed down her cheeks. "No… No… L-Liwei! Wake up!"

Lu Mengjie was too focused on her husband that she wasn't able to hear the sound of sirens outside or realize the police that came rushing inside the place, taking down Hunter's remaining men. The only person she could see at that moment was her unconscious husband. She was holding his hand as she began panicking. "Please… please wake up… I can't lose you… I can't lose you too… please… please Liwei… don't leave me… please open your eyes… open your eyes!"

What she feared the most was not betrayal but for the people she had cared for, dying in front of her eyes. She was not going to allow death to steal anyone from her anymore, especially not the man to whom she had given her heart to. "Help! HELP!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Medic over here!"

…

That night, before Xia Liqin left the restaurant, he called for the local police to save his sister and her husband. It was a good thing that they were able to arrive and save them in time. Hunter, together with Spider and Yong Liwei, were taken to the ambulance that arrived together with the police. Not wanting to leave her husband's side, Lu Mengjie went with them.

Meanwhile, Wei Sianqi decided to stay with Xia Liqin even if she wanted to follow the others to the hospital since she was so worried for them.

To avoid the incident from spreading, Xia Liqin ordered Sebby to take down any related social media posts whether it was a snap of a photo or a short video. Some journalists arrived at the scene as well, they tried to sneak their way in to find out what happened. Xia Liqin had no choice but to contact his assistant, ordering him to reach the media companies to silence them.

As for Little Peanut, Xia Liqin brought him to a place where he knew that he would be safest.

"How did you know that they were in danger?" He asked while he was driving.

Wei Sianqi was carrying the sleeping Little Peanut in her arms as she sat in the passenger seat. "Someone tipped me."

"Who?" He continued to inquire.

She pursed her lips in hesitation. She lowered her head, her eyes cast at Little Peanut's adorable sleeping face. This was the first time she had seen Yong Liwei's son. She never knew that he had one.

"Her name is Xue Lihua," she finally confessed while staring at the baby's sleeping face. "She said that she heard it from someone's phone conversation. She must have thought that I was still living with him, that's why she contacted me and asked me about his whereabouts. I wanted to annoy her so I told her that he was out with Jiejie. She only warned me of the danger that was waiting for them all because she wanted to protect Mr. Yong. She's someone we can't trust but one thing is for sure, if it comes to Mr. Yong's safety, she would do anything to keep him safe even if it was to betray the people she was with that's why I didn't hesitate in believing her message."

Xia Liqin's grip tightened on the driver's wheel. His gaze hardened after hearing what she said. If Wei Sianqi had said something else, that woman might have remained quiet about the trap. No one would have been able to come in time and save his sister and her family from those men.

"Thank you, Wei Sianqi."

The girl ended up darting her gaze towards him, she was looking at him with wide eyes. Did she hear things right? Did he just call her by her name for the first time?

"If not for you, my sister could have already died."

Wei Sianqi felt her cheeks heat up and her heart race like crazy. It was not the right time to be delighted and to fangirl for him but she couldn't stop her emotions at all.

He finally stopped the car upon arriving at the place. He looked at her with sincerity. "As thanks, I'll—"

"Date me." She quickly cut his sentence off.
