Chapter 276: Chapter 276: He’s Here (8)

“Zhixi.” He suddenly spoke up, “I’ve realized I have made a major oversight.”

“What?” Su Zixi’s eyes widened.

“Xia Xinyu is here.” His brows furrowed slightly, “And she’s a woman.”

“So…” Su Zixi had a bad premonition.

“So as long as she gets close to me, I basically lose all my fighting ability.” Cold sweat had already started to seep from his forehead, “And now, I feel her approaching.”

Su Zixi felt her heart stop beating at that very moment!

Indeed, she had long been aware of He Jingyao’s weakness, but usually, his bodyguards were by his side, and no other woman except for her could get close to him, so Su Zixi had never seen him fall ill.

Until this moment!

Seeing the cold sweat on his forehead, Su Zixi was both worried and distressed. If it weren’t for her, he wouldn’t have ended up in this situation!

With this thought, she clenched the gun in her hands tightly, her voice trembling as she spoke, “It’s okay, I’m here, I’ll protect you…”

Despite the growing dizziness, He Jingyao couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

He whispered intermittently into her ear, “Don’t… don’t shoot, the bullets are limited unless you can kill them all in one go… otherwise, you’re just going to hurt yourself.”

He had originally thought that with him present, he could adequately protect her, but…

A self-mocking smile flickered at the bottom of He Jingyao’s heart. For so many years, he had been well-protected by his bodyguards, and it had been so long since he had an episode that he had forgotten just how rapidly and severely it could hit him.

“I’m sorry…” He lowered his voice, the words a whisper in her ear, “Zhixi, don’t struggle, and don’t act rashly. Whatever… whatever Xia Xinyu demands, agree to it…”

After he finished speaking, his body staggered!

Su Zixi hastily threw the gun to the ground and supported him, “Jingyao!”

Her tears flowed out all at once.

He Jingyao leaned against the wall, his hand on Su Zixi’s shoulder, just barely steadying himself.

It was at this moment that the door creaked open once again.

Xia Xinyu walked in.

She appeared calm, first glancing at the scar-faced man on the ground before her gaze settled on He Jingyao.

Seeing his pale face and the cold sweat on his forehead, she couldn’t help but laugh.

“So it’s true, you really can’t touch another woman,” Xia Xinyu said with a touch of sentimentality.

Just moments ago, she had thought of this, which was why she decided to be the first to come in.

For many years, He Jingyao had guarded himself fiercely against women, indicating the severity of his condition.

And her suspicions were confirmed.

Right now, her mere presence was the perfect check on He Jingyao.

“Xia Xinyu, what exactly do you want?” Su Zixi glared at her fiercely.

“Heh.” Xia Xinyu let out a cold chuckle, motioning for the people behind her to come in and take away the scar-faced man and the gun, then slowly approached He Jingyao.

As she drew near, He Jingyao’s symptoms worsened. He gripped Su Zixi’s shoulder tightly, his strength so great that the veins on his hand stood out.

Su Zixi felt terrible!

The pain on her shoulder was also telling her about the agony He Jingyao was going through.

“Finally.” Xia Xinyu spoke faintly, “Mr. He, after so many years, this is the first time I’ve come before you. I suppose you’ve never really looked at me directly before now, have you?”
