Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Things Have Escalated Chapter 1250: Chapter 1250: Things Have Escalated Yang Qingyin had downed a drink laced with sleeping pills.
Lu Weiguang had put a bit too much into the drink, so Yang Qingyin began to feel its effects immediately after drinking it.
However, she managed to combat the initial sedative effects through an adrenaline response.
Yet she couldnât resist the persistent effects of the drug.
Amidst the constant pounding on the door, Yang Qingyinâs consciousness slowly started to blur, and even biting her tongue did little to rouse her.
But before slipping into unconsciousness, she felt the door to the private room being forced open and instinctively squeezed the trigger.
A bullet shot out of the barrel.
Luo Ziling had not at all expected that Yang Qingyin, hiding inside, would fire a gun.
After knocking down someone who was ramming the door, he was ready to burst in and rescue Yang Qingyin at the first opportunity.
Therefore, as Yang Qingyin pulled the trigger, he was already charging into the room.
It never occurred to him that Yang Qingyin would have a gun and fire it before passing out, so he had not thought to dodge.
The bullet hit him squarely in the abdomen, and with a tragic scream, Luo Zilingâs body slammed against the door frame.
Struck by the bullet, he lost his balance, hitting the door frame so hard that he almost knocked it down.
Yang Xiaodong, following behind, had not anticipated such an event.
But without any hesitation, he knocked down those entangling him and rushed to Luo Zilingâs side.
At that moment, Luo Ziling was struggling to get up, and Yang Xiaodong hurried forward to help him.
Seeing Luo Zilingâs abdomen oozing blood, Yang Xiaodongâs head exploded.
âComrade Young Master, how are you?â After helping him up, he placed his hand over the wounded area of Luo Zilingâs abdomen.
While inquiring about Luo Zilingâs injuries, Yang Xiaodong pulled out his cell phone, called Wang Zhenjun to briefly explain the situation, then asked Wang Zhenjun to notify Ling Ruonan.
Since there had been no dangerous situations recently, and tonight, they had gone to the Ouyang Familyâs villa for dinner, Luo Ziling did not wear the bulletproof vest Lin Lan had given him.
The bullet that Yang Qingyin had fired instinctively struck his abdomen and penetrated his stomach.
Blood instantly soaked his clothes, and his body could no longer support itself, collapsing.
Fortunately, he had not hit a major blood vessel or vital organ, so Luo Ziling hadnât completely lost his ability to move.
This was partly thanks to the multiple layers of clothing he wore due to the winter weather, including a thick down jacket.
Moreover, the bullet had entered at an oblique angle to the side of the abdominal cavity.
After penetrating the flesh, the bullet traveled some distance and remained inside the abdominal cavity.
Had it hit a major blood vessel like the abdominal aorta, Luo Ziling would have been in immediate mortal peril.
Even with the presence of a Divine Doctor like him or Luo Liansheng, if they couldnât stop severe bleeding, death would follow swiftly.
The abdominal aorta is under high pressure, and if itâs ruptured, blood will gush out like a fountain, causing most of the bodyâs blood to be lost in little time. Stopping bleeding in the abdominal arteries is not as easy as it is elsewhere in the body.
Even if the bleeding could be stopped, re-establishing major blood circulation would be extremely difficult.
âI should survive,â Luo Ziling, propped up by Yang Xiaodongâs support and leaning against the wall, stood and offered a pained smile, âI didnât expect her to shoot!â
After saying this, Luo Ziling saw Yang Qingyin lying on the ground and Ye Xiaoli being crushed by the fallen door. He hastily instructed Yang Xiaodong to first tend to Yang Qingyin and Ye Xiaoli.
But Yang Xiaodong didnât listen to Luo Zilingâs words. Instead, he helped Luo Ziling sit down on the sofa, ready to inspect Luo Zilingâs wound.
âI can manage on my own. Check on them,â Luo Ziling stopped Yang Xiaodongâs movements, reaching out to prepare to undress and examine his own injury.
Yang Xiaodong hesitated for no more than two seconds before going over to check on Yang Qingyin.
Upon discovering that Yang Qingyin was merely asleep, he didnât attend to her but instead pulled Ye Xiaoli out from under the fallen door.
Realizing that Ye Xiaoli was only unconscious and not otherwise injured, Yang Xiaodong also left her be.
Those who had been taken down by him and Luo Ziling were starting to struggle to get up, so Yang Xiaodong charged back out and, with a flurry of punches and kicks, knocked them all back to the ground.
At that moment, the security guards of the entertainment venue also came to intervene.
Without any niceties left, Yang Xiaodong drew his service pistol and fired three shotsââBangâ âBangâ âBangââinto the legs of three individuals he had taken down.
Amid the earth-shattering screams of the injured men, Yang Xiaodong forbiddingly threatened the security guards to back off, or face lethal consequences without discussion.
Those security guards, not expecting these men to have guns, let alone to actually use them, finally didnât dare to rush forward and obediently backed off.
The people Yang Xiaodong had taken down were even more terrified, not daring to try to escape, and obediently laid on the ground or squatted where they were.
Turning back, Yang Xiaodong saw Luo Ziling struggling with his clothes and quickly went to help.
After opening the clothing, Luo Ziling asked Yang Xiaodong to take out the needle he carried on him from within his clothes, and without disinfecting, inserted it directly into an acupoint on his abdomen, and then another one.
After stopping the bleeding and numbing the wounded area, Luo Ziling let out a sigh of relief.
He took out his phone and called his grandfather Luo Liansheng.
But Luo Lianshengâs phone indicated that it was switched off.
After thinking for a moment, he called Ouyang Feifei.
Ouyang Feifeiâs call, however, went through immediately.
âZiling, whatâs wrong?â Luo Ziling rarely called her, and they had seen each other earlier that evening. Receiving a call from him so late at night, Ouyang Feifei immediately sensed something was wrong.
âIâve been injured, shot, and I canât treat it myself. Tell grandfather to come over and help me with the treatment!â
âWhat?â Ouyang Feifei was startled on the other end of the line.
But she didnât ask any further questions, only asking Luo Ziling where he was and if there was any danger.
After hearing Luo Ziling explain that he had gained control of the situation and where he was, she immediately said she and Luo Liansheng would come right over.
By the time Luo Ziling had finished his call, Wang Zhenjun had also arrived on the scene.
Wang Zhenjun knew something was amiss when Luo Ziling called to inquire about Yang Qingyinâs location, and he informed Yang Xiaodong the first chance he got. While notifying Yang Xiaodong, he also rushed over.
Wang Zhenjun was already near the KTV venue when Yang Xiaodong called him to come over and also to inform Ling Ruonan.
But even then, he hadnât expected the situation to be this serious.
He was very aware that this matter had escalated significantly, and what the consequences might be, he couldnât forecast.
Thankfully, Ling Ruonan would be arriving soon.
With Ling Ruonan handling the situation personally, she should be able to keep everything under control.
