The Rebirth of a Diva

Episode 83

His face spelled misery as he turned to the side, avoiding eye contact.

Traces of fury could be seen in Li Lei's eyes as he clenched his fists. However, in an instant, he used the same hand to gently caress her face, carefully pointing her face towards him. “Xiao Ling, fear not. Open your mouth and let me see it. ”

He looked at her helplessly. Under the twinkling lights, his expression was so gentle that it had a calming presence. Slowly, he gave up and opened his mouth.

He looked at his throat. "Pei Ziheng is a beast, he gave you medicine?"

He nodded, almost crying.

"It's okay, I'm here. “He calmly comforted her and grabbed her phone to call. "Hello, James, go immediately to the clinic at Third Base. Xia Ling was given some mutation formula and needed treatment. ”

He hung up the phone and bowed to her. “Let's get out of here now. ”

He got up and offered his hand. Xia Ling clutched her hands firmly and tried to stand up before the pain in her legs struck again and she fell back. Only after peeking down did he realize that he had run out of barefoot rooms and had stepped onto the broken glass and the edges had cut off his sole, causing it to bleed.

Li Lei looked at the same scene and bowed, raising his leg to check on him.

He reflexively stretched his legs in pain the moment he touched it, but in his warm and unfeeling hands, he slowly relaxed. "Back it and don't move. “He meticulously picked up the broken glass on his leg as blood continued to flow in his palm and into his hand.

After she finished removing the shard, she tore off part of the shirt and wrapped the wound in a cloth.

In the dim twilight light, his lips slightly pursed and his side formed a handsome and clear image as he worked on his feet with all his focus, as if he was his most cherished possession. The large shattered windows and swaying chandeliers in the hallway were worlds apart, tucked into a corner of the background along with the stairs. Even the gunshots and commotion from the fights were all part of a distant background.

It was as if he and she were in their own world, just the two of them.

He looked at her in a daze and realized that he was no longer afraid and helpless.

The pain in his legs lessened as Li Lei bent down and carried him. "Hold tight. ”

She felt light within herself and instinctively held onto the man's side. As they moved, she heard the wind sweep her cheeks, and sometimes the less pleasant sound of glass breaking and the exchange of fire …

He buried his face into his chest. Through his shirt, he could smell a faint mixture of sweat and tobacco, and feel the firmness of his chest and his regular heart pump. Beat after beat, it was stable and unshakable.

Xia Ling slowly closed her eyes and slept soundly.

Dawn approached and the sky was clear white. Li Lei had taken him out of the danger zone, into the bulletproof vehicle under the protection of his bodyguards and towards the nearby fortress. The Third Base was one of his strongholds and, by the time they arrived, some medical professionals were already on standby with James as the chief physician, who walked up to Li Lei as soon as he saw him.

"What's the situation now?" Ask James.

With Xia Ling still in his arms, Li Lei walked into the treatment room quickly. “She had a fright and a low-grade fever. Pei Ziheng seemed to have forced a deadly medicine down his throat, but I was not sure what the formula was. You have to reverse the effect. ”

"I'll do my best . “James and Li Lei sat him in the treatment room and he started running checks on him.

“That's a very strong formula. ”Against the shadowless lamp is James' exhausted view. Throughout the day the treatment has made him tired, “I have taken a small sample from his throat to do a test in the laboratory. What I can confirm is that this is different from what is sold on the market, there are some ingredients that I currently do not explain until the test results come out. ”

"Can he be healed?" Ask Li Lei.

"Hard to say. "James furrowed his brows. “I've operated on him and removed some poison, but it's already had too much effect, so this operation might not really help recover his vocal cords completely. I suspect Pei Ziheng did not use the common ones in the market and specifically used these so that he would never recover. There may be no cure for this. ”

Li Lei's face was very gloomy.

James and he have been friends for years and have gone through trials and tribulations together. No matter how difficult the situation was, Li Lei never lost his cold, calming and slow-moving presence. He was always confident, had never lost himself like he did now.

He's worried. "Li Lei …"

"James, you have to heal him no matter how much it takes. Please . “Li Lei looked at James seriously, saying every word clearly. When he first met her, he thought it was just an intimate relationship and his only intention was to keep her as a woman. But the way he rejects it directly and in anger has made him even more interested in her, and from a point – he has no idea when – his feelings for her are no longer as simple, no longer “ escape. '' When he saw her curled up on Pei Ziheng's bed, vulnerable, and when he lost his smile and looked at her sadly, he felt a pain in his heart.

He hated himself for not protecting her well.

"Send my orders, everyone must gather at the Third Base. “Li Lei came out of the treatment room and gave instructions coldly.

In the main hall where the orders were usually handed down, his personal assistant Su Tang looked at him in shock. "Young master?"

"Didn't you hear me!" Li Lei growled as he stared at her sharply.

She had always been friendly to Su Tang and had never been rude to him. Today, he was acting abnormally and aggressively, venting his steam at her because of a girl in a coma. Su Tang felt a prick in his heart and bit his lips as he carried out the instructions.

"Everything .." He tried to cover up his frustration. "Including Team Dragon and Team Shadow?"

"Everyone . ”

Su Tang was stunned. Li Lei had countless subordinates inside and outside the country mobilized for each mission, he said, but Team Dragon and Team Shadow had always been the trump cards that existed in the country and which he almost never revealed. In fact, tonight was the first time this secret team had been deployed for such a long time.

He wanted to offer her two cents and tell her that it was not worth it for a woman. But seeing the anger written on his face, he decided to swallow his words. "Well, I'll gather them. ”

Third base, hall.

The Dragon Team, Shadow Team and the rest of Li Lei's special forces, bodyguards, elite intelligence officers, and assassins gathered in the hall in concern, waiting for Li Lei's order.

"I, Li Lei," He swept his gaze across the neat rows they had formed. "It usually doesn't cause problems. Since the day I returned and continued my business, I have been complying with civil regulations, leaving triad lives abroad. But since I have done that, some people have forgotten what the Li Family has always been responsible for! They had already forgotten what kind of person Li Lei was! ”

His voice was loud and cold, his expression threatening. “A thoughtless fool actually dared to touch my wife, in my territory! Since they are not complying with the legitimate rules to run their business and insist on doing it in a triad way, I will let them see what the black triad really is! Team Dragon, Team Shadow and all of you here, before dawn I want this whole city! ”
