As she was being dragged back, the first thought that popped into Xu Tingyu's mind was:
What kind of master did Old Master Qi find? His fortune - telling is so inaccurate.
Where was her good fortune?
She had married a man who didn't like her, entered a husband's family full of intrigue, and her natal family had been schemed against until it was ruined.
Now, she couldn't even keep the baby in her belly.
Even her own life was in jeopardy.
She screamed and struggled. Fear was like a giant hand, squeezing her entire being.
A sharp pain came from her belly. Maybe the baby also sensed the danger and was empathizing with its mother.
She shouted, "Please, don't kill me. Don't kill my baby."
"Go tell the old master. I'll really leave. Don't let him pay off Xu family's debts. I'll disappear far away and won't cause any trouble."
"Please, spare me, okay?"
Begging so humiliatingly was something she had never imagined.
She was once a darling of heaven, raised in the palm of everyone's hand, a talented prodigy pursued by all.
But now, she was like the lowest - class animal, with tears streaming down her face, begging in terror.
However, her pleas for mercy were in vain.
The bodyguard who grabbed her slapped her and warned her viciously, "Don't cause me any trouble."
She had been very cooperative since yesterday, leading them to think she wouldn't cause any problems.
So after they sent her into the operating room, they went into the ward to rest for a while.
Who would have thought that just a few minutes later, she would start causing a ruckus.
They carried her back to the operating room.
This time, they tied her hands and strapped her to the operating table.
The anesthesiologist walked over with a syringe, but she wriggled and refused to cooperate. So the bodyguard slapped her again.
She was dazed from the slap, but she still refused to cooperate.
Her mouth was also gagged, and she could only make inarticulate sounds.
No one could understand what she was saying.
But even if they did, it wouldn't matter.
They simply didn't care what she said.
Her legs were spread apart, and a cold instrument touched her calf.
Her cries and struggles suddenly stopped.
Maybe this was her fate.
She couldn't escape or hide.
Well, since it was all because of her, she would atone for her sins with death.
It was just a pity for the baby.
She slowly closed her eyes.
The last thing she saw was the anesthesiologist walking over with a syringe.
But the stabbing pain she had imagined didn't come.
Instead, there were groans around her.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw Qi Shifeng in a black suit running in from outside.
The weather wasn't very hot, but his face was covered in sweat.
Qi Shifeng was a man who rarely dreamed.
But he had a nightmare scenario that haunted him for life.
When he rushed into the operating room, Xu Tingyu was strapped to the operating table, her legs wide open, her hair disheveled, her cheeks swollen, and her body stained with blood.
Hearing the noise, she tried to raise her head and look over. Her face was covered in sweat, as if she had been fished out of water.
His gaze moved down, and he saw that her belly was still bulging.
There was no blood between her legs.
He didn't look at Xu Tingyu anymore. He just coldly ordered his subordinates, "Clean this up."
At that moment, Xu Tingyu's hair stood on end.
She originally thought Qi Shifeng had come to save her, but after he said this, she wasn't sure anymore.
So when he walked towards her, she shrank back in fear.
But she was tied up. How far could she shrink?
Her mouth was gagged, and she could only grunt.
Qi Shifeng didn't miss the fear in her eyes and the tears running down the corners of her eyes.
He reached out his hand, trying to untie the rope on her hand.
But his wrist was trembling constantly. What should have been a simple action took him a while to complete.
He looked at her and then pulled out the cloth from her mouth.
Then, he untied the restraints on her legs and took off his coat to cover her legs.
Under Xu Tingyu's gaze, he picked her up with red - eyed intensity.
Xu Tingyu looked at his cold profile and felt the surging killing intent on him.
She was extremely scared.
She didn't know where he was taking her.
But she didn't dare to struggle and could only be obediently picked up by him.
"Please don't kill me. I'll be very good," she murmured in his arms.
She didn't want to die.
Even though he was the person she should hate the most, she could only plead with him.
Qi Shifeng's body stiffened for a moment, and the veins on his neck bulged.
Xu Tingyu's fear reached its peak. She wanted to plead again, but it felt like there was a cotton ball in her throat.
She couldn't make a sound and could only look at him pleadingly.
But the next second, she heard Qi Shifeng say to the bodyguards who had been knocked to the ground, "Go back and tell the old master that I'll deal with my woman myself."
His tone was indifferent, and his voice was steady.
Xu Tingyu was already overly frightened, and now she was so scared that she didn't even dare to shed a tear.
Was he just unhappy that the old master had bypassed him and wanted to kill her and the baby in her belly?
So he wanted to deal with her himself?
She saw the doctor who was going to perform the operation on her suddenly step forward and take out a will from his pocket and hand it to Qi Shifeng.
"Mr. Qi, no surgical procedures have been carried out. The baby is fine. I'll send you a detailed diagnosis later," the doctor said.
Xu Tingyu was furious.
So this doctor was Qi Shifeng's man.
No wonder he had repeatedly asked her if she was sure she didn't want this child.
What was his purpose?
If she had definitely said she wanted the child, would he have sided with the old master?
Was this his final revenge on her?
It was really cruel.
She had lost, completely and utterly.
Overwhelmed by extreme fear and anger, Xu Tingyu fainted again.
In the operating room, Qi Shifeng left all the bodyguards behind.
"Anyone who touched her, cut off their hands. Don't kill them. After dealing with them, send them to the old mansion."
The subtext of "don't kill them" was to torture them to the brink of death but keep them alive.
The doctor's hand in his white coat was clenched into a fist due to nervousness.
He was a bit relieved that he had managed to contact Qi Shifeng in time.
He had once been part of the second - generation rich circle in the capital, but his family had fallen into decline in high school and he had been kicked out of the circle.
However, his family had a good attitude. They hadn't offended anyone when they were rich, so life wasn't too difficult after they lost their wealth.
Later, through study and exams, he became a doctor and entered the Qi family's hospital.
When he entered the hospital, his father, who was no longer interested in business and had fallen in love with drinking tea and fishing, had told him.
The scariest person in the Qi family wasn't the legendary Old Master Qi with blood on his hands.
It was the inscrutable Qi Shifeng.
If he ever met him, he must never offend him, otherwise, he might not even know how he died.
So after seeing Xu Tingyu yesterday, he had been looking for an opportunity to contact Qi Shifeng.
It wasn't until this morning that he finally found the opportunity.
Qi Shifeng didn't let him down.
