Li Singtan was busy talking to someone over the phone so he failed to notice the man.
" Li Singtan move." Xie Ming shouted.
When the attacker saw saw a woman rushing towards Li Singtan, he increased his pace.
As he was about to pierce the knife on his back, Xie Ming came in between.
Xie Ming could feel the knife enter her flesh.
The attacker panicked, he forcefully pulled the knife out her body and tried to escape.
Xie Ming screamed in pain, when the attacker pulled off the knife," Ahh."
Hearing a familiar voice when Li Singtan turned back, his eyes widened in shock and his face became pale," Ming."
....
An hour back.
When Li Singtan and Xie Ming entered the mall, Xie Ming said," I will be very quick okay."
Li Singtan chuckled and said," Well I don't expect you to finish your shopping fast. Take your time. Don't rush things."
" What are you laughing at? Woman can finish shopping fast okay." Xie Ming said.
" Okay Okay. Where do you want to go first?" Li Singtan said.
Pointing towards a store, Xie Miing said," Let's go there first."
Li Singtan placed his hand in her shoulder and started walking towards the store.
Xie Ming quickly picked up the things that she needed. She was really very fast.
Walking towards the billing counter, Xie Ming said," See I told you that I am fast."
Li Singtan nodded his head in agreement.
As he was about to out his card, his phone buzzed.
Giving the card to Xie Ming, Li Singtan said," I have to take this."
Taking the card, Xie Ming said," Just wait for me outside."
Li Singtan nodded his head and went outside.
....
Outside the store.
" Speak." Li Singtan said.
" Boss the people who were trailing you were Simon's men." Han Zihao said.
Li Singtan's expression turned dark. His guess was right.
" Increase the security of the Li Mansion and Li Corporation. Also ask Yang Yutang to meet me at the base tomorrow morning." Li Singtan said.
" But sir you have a very important meeting tomorrow at 11 am." Han Zihao said.
" Cancel it." Li Singtan said.
While Li Singtan was busy discussing business with Han Zihao, Xie Ming came out of the store carrying her shopping bags.
As soon as she stepped out of the store, she spotted Li Singtan. She smiled and started walking towards him.
She then noticed a man rushing towards him with something sharp in his hand. She panicked.
Dropping everything that was in her hand, Xie Ming shouted," Li Singtan move."
When she saw that the man had increased his pace, she also did the same.
As the man was about to pierce that sharp thing inside Li Singtan, Xie Ming came in between.
She could feel the knife enter her flesh.
When the man pulled out the knife from her body, she felt a very intense pain and screamed,"Ah."
Hearing a familiar voice when Li Singtan turned back, his eyes widened in shock and his face became pale," Ming."
.....
Present.
When Li Singtan saw Xie Ming kneeling on the ground holding her stomach, Li Singtan panicked," What- what happened?"
He quickly lifted her up.
Xie Ming quickly got up. Touching his cheeks with her hand, Xie Ming said in a weak voice," Are you Okay?"
Li Singtan widened his eyes in shock when he saw that her hand was covered with blood.
" Blood." He murmured.
Xie Ming smiled weakly and then passed out.
Taping her cheeks, Li Singtan tried to wake her up," Ming Ming wake up."
He then noticed a large fresh blood stain in her stomach.
Li Singtan's face turned pale," Blood wound. Ming wake up."
Soon the manager along with the security guard arrived.
When the mall manager heard about the incident, he thought that may be it was a normal fight between normal citizens. But when he saw Li Singtan helplessly holding his wife, the mall manager panicked.
" M-Mr Li we should take Mrs Li to the hospital first. She is losing too much blood." The manager said.
Li Singtan quickly composed himself. Carrying her in his arms, Li Singtan said," I'll give you one hour to find who the culprit is. If you fail, Imperial mall will not exist from tomorrow."
Chapter 120
The manger gulped in fear. She vigorously nodded his head and said," Dont worry Mr Li. I'll investigate this matter personally."
Li Singtan did not say anything. Carrying Xie Ming in his arms, he rushed towards the car.
...
Outside the cafe.
" Tsk Tsk too bad." the man said.
Chen Siquan was in daze after he saw what had happened. When he saw Xie Ming sacrificing herself for Li Singtan, he felt a prick in his heart. Some kind of a sour feeling enveloped his heart. He lowered his head and thought ' If I had actually married Xie Ming that day, she would have done the same thing for me when I would ever me danger right?'
" Mr Chen I am very sorry. I could not show you that Li Singtan is made up of flesh and blood just like us." The man said.
Chen Siquan did not say anything.
" Did you see his face right now? That expression was much more better than what I had expected to see." The man said.
Chen Siquan narrowed his eyes and asked," Who are you? And why are you after them?"
The man chuckled and said," Can't you make out that I want to kill him? But now I realise that killing him is not that fun. Even if I kill him, I will never be able to see that fear and panic expression in his face that I have seen today." Pausing for a while, he said," As I had guessed, like every ordinary husband, his weakness is his wife."
Chen Siquan narrowed his eyes in suspicion. His inner instincts were telling him that this man is dangerous.
" So Mr Chen I guess you need some time to think right? You can take as much as time you want but I want and answer within 2 days." After saying this the man started walking away.
Chen Siquan quickly stopped him and asked," Wait. At least tell me your name."
The man smiled and said," Simon. My name is Simon."
.....
When the chauffeur saw his boss rushing towards the car with Xie Ming in his arms, he knew something was not right. He then quickly opened the back door for them.
Li Singtan placed Xie Ming inside the car and shouted," Quick hospital."
The chauffeur widened his eyes in shock when he saw blood stains on Li Singtans clothes.
Without wasting anytime, he quickly hoped inside the car and left the mall.
On the way to the hospital , Li Singtan continuously patted on Xie Ming's cheeks trying to wake her up. But when Xie Ming did not wake up, Li Singtna panicked.
When he held her hand, it was cold as ice. He rubbed her hand in order to make it warm.
" Drive faster." Li Singtan shouted.
.....
Hospital
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Li Singtan rushed inside with Xie Ming in his arms.
" Quickly get me a doctor." Li Singtan shouted.
The hospital staff did not fail to recognise him. Without wasting any time, they placed Xie Ming on the stretcher and took her inside the operation theatre.
" Sir please wait outside." a nurse stopped Li Singtan.
Li Singtan reluctantly stepped backwards.
When he saw his hands which was covered with Xie Ming's blood, his legs felt weak. This blood belonged to his wife. Li Singtan felt like a loser. He could not even keep his wife safe. It was his fault. He shouldn't have let his guard down. When they arrived at the mall, he had asked his bodyguard to stay outside because he wanted Xie Ming to shop freely without anyone guarding them. It was all his fault.
When Han Zihao entered the hospital and saw Li Singtan standing outside the operation theatre staring at his hands which was covered with blood, he sighed.
When the chauffeur called him and told him about the incident, Han Zihao quickly rushed towards the hospital because he knew that his boss would need him. He also informed the Li family about the incident.
Li Singtan doted on his wife a lot and Han Zihao was aware of that. His boss had been monitoring Xie Ming's movement since a very long time. Han Zihao knew that Li Singtan loved his wife with all his heart and soul.
