I barely had time to comprehend what was happening when I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. By the time I registered it, a wave of intense agony swept through my body, and I could see the fabric of my clothes turning red around the wound. To make matters worse, blood was also flowing from my head, and I felt myself slipping into unconsciousness.
As I fainted, I caught sight of Ouyang Zhirou, Lin Mu Xi, Wang Ju'en, and Hu Yao. They seemed relatively unscathed, their hair disheveled and clothes slightly dirty. They were okay; that was all that mattered! At that moment, they all rushed toward me. With my eyes closing, I completely lost consciousness, not even hearing their frantic cries.
"Zhao Lun! Zhao Lun! Wake up! Don't scare me!"
Wang Ju'en shouted as she threw herself over me, her tears streaming down like a broken dam when she saw me lying still.
"Get off me! Stop crying and apply pressure to the wound! Hurry!" Wang Ju'en yelled at them, tearing off part of her gown to press against my injury.
Hu Yao immediately dialed for help and then called my family.
At that moment, Zhao Changsheng's phone rang. He and his friends were still drinking merrily, completely oblivious to the ringing phone until Li Hong heard it from afar and alerted him. Reluctantly, he answered.
"Hello? Who is it? You're interrupting my enjoyment."
"Old Zhao! It's bad! Zhao Lun has been shot!"
Zhao Changsheng instantly sprang to his feet, the alcohol fading from his mind in an instant. The others in the room looked at his sudden reaction and the pallor on his face with disbelief; after all, this wasn't the first time such a situation had arisen.
"What did you say? Zhao Lun has been shot?!"
His roar shattered the previously joyful atmosphere, and Li Hong stumbled over upon hearing this news. She looked at Zhao Changsheng in shock, unable to believe he would say such a thing.
"Okay, I'm coming right away."
"Lake City First Hospital! Hurry! Hurry!!!"
Without changing his shoes, Zhao Changsheng bolted out the door. Seeing this, the group of drinkers quickly sobered up and followed him without hesitation. After all, there was more at stake than just me; everyone present had children by my side.
Even though Li Hong struggled to accept it, Zhao Changsheng's reaction spoke volumes. Her legs gave way as she sank to the ground, completely disregarding her usual composure and etiquette as she shouted in public, "Zhao Changsheng! You bastard!"
Zhao Changsheng froze in place upon hearing her voice. He turned around slowly to see Li Hong already in tears.
"I told you not to involve Xiao Lun! But you wouldn’t listen! Now look where we are—Xiao Lun has been shot! I raised him with every ounce of effort I had; even when I was angry, I could never bring myself to hit him. Because of your ridiculous plan, now my son is gone! Zhao Changsheng! This is it for us—divorce! I will never let you off for this!"
As Li Hong's emotions escalated towards madness, Zhao Changsheng felt increasingly pained. Li Hong struggled to push herself up from the ground; even this simple action seemed to drain her of all her strength.
"Calm down, everything will be alright," he said desperately as he tried to comfort her. But deep down, he felt no better than she did. With Li Hong's emotional breakdown weighing heavily on him, Zhao Changsheng knew that if he didn’t step up to stabilize the situation soon, their family would truly fall apart.
