Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1067: Chapter 1067: It’s All My Fault

As the plane landed, the wind got stronger.

The plane was about to touch down, and Tang Yue made her move. Lian He took two steps in three strides and quickly sprinted towards Tang Yue.

The sudden change happened in an instant. Brother Biao lifted the suitcase and struck towards Tang Yue’s chest.

"Bang"

"Bang"

Two loud sounds followed by Tang Yue’s exclamation.

With a "clang," the object in Brother Biao’s hand flew out. He looked in disbelief at the silhouette coming off the plane.

"Dad."

Tang Yue’s heart-wrenching scream sounded; she was completely stunned.

Everything happened too fast.

After Tang Yue kicked Xiao Li away, she ran towards Lian He. When the sound rang out, Tang Yue didn’t even know where this thing was being aimed; she only saw Lian He’s figure rushing towards her.

In the next moment, Tang Yue felt the world spinning. Lian He wrapped his arm around her waist, protecting her entire body in his embrace.

His hug was unfamiliar. Perhaps it wasn’t as broad as Meng Siyu’s, but it still gave her a sense of security. Up close, she could even see the white hairs on Lian He’s head.

"Dad."

Tang Yue looked up, gazing at Lian He. She could clearly feel that Lian He was hurt; the strength of his body instantly fell upon her, as Tang Yue tried hard to support his body.

"How are you?"

Tang Yue helped Lian He sit on the ground with her strength. It was difficult for her to support him.

Once they sat down, Tang Yue noticed that Lian He had been shot in the back, and blood was gushing out. She wanted to press the wound but blood kept flowing out, tears gradually blurring her eyes.

"Don’t cry." Lian He bore the pain, tightly grasping her hands, saying, "Quickly go."

Lian He turned his head, originally wanting Tang Yue to hurry away, but when he saw the people coming down from the plane, Lian He became instantly relieved.

"I’m not leaving." Tang Yue pressed on his wound, saying, "We’re going to the hospital, it will be fine."

...

On the way rushing to the hospital in Su City, although Lian He’s injuries seemed frightening, they were not life-threatening. After removing the foreign object and with some recuperation, he would be fine.

Tang Yue stayed outside the emergency room until Lian He completed the surgery. Seeing him pushed into the ward with her own eyes and hearing the doctor say he was out of danger, Tang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, her entire body staggering as she nearly fainted.

In the past two days, her days hadn’t been easy. She couldn’t eat and her mind was constantly on edge. Now that they were safe, her mental state instantly slackened, and she could hardly take it.

"Xiao Yue."

Meng Siyu quickly stepped forward, wrapped Tang Yue in his arms, and helped her sit on the bedside, saying, "Now you can finally eat something, right? If you don’t eat, you’re going to be so thin that a breeze could topple you."

Meng Siyu took out the meal that had been kept in the insulated container, saying, "There’s your favorite dried radish fried with meat, mix it with rice for the best flavor."

Meng Siyu mixed the dried radish and meat with rice, brought it to her lips, saying, "Hungry?"

As Tang Yue’s stomach rumbled, she took a bite. Then, she grabbed the spoon, scooped a spoonful of rice, and offered it to him, saying, "Are you hungry too?"

"I’m not hungry." Although Meng Siyu said this, Tang Yue held the spoon still, clearly indicating that if Meng Siyu didn’t eat, neither would she.

Meng Siyu, unable to contradict her, had no choice but to open his mouth and eat.

Tang Yue was also very hungry. Together, she and Meng Siyu quickly finished the entire meal in the insulated container.

Tang Yue, afraid that Meng Siyu would be hungry, even made sure he ate more. She carried the soup bowl, and together they polished off the pork rib and lotus root soup, finally burping contentedly, saying, "So full. Siyu, are you full?"

"Full."

Meng Siyu affectionately wiped her mouth with a napkin, asking, "Later, I’ll get you some hot water for a bath, and the clothes I already asked Wu Xin to send over."

Lian He was resting in the ward.

"Uncle." Tang Yue, seeing Gu Chun beside the hospital bed, guiltily said, "I’m sorry, it’s because of me that Dad got hurt."

Dad?

When Gu Chun heard the term ’Dad,’ he couldn’t help but smile, and he said, "If your Dad hears you calling him that, not only won’t he mind the injury, he’d be thrilled even if he was injured ten times over."

"Your Dad saving you, he’s surely very happy and won’t blame you." Gu Chun comforted her as he saw the guilt in her eyes.

"Oh, and tell Aunt I’m fine now, so she doesn’t keep worrying." Tang Yue had been so concerned about Lian He that after ensuring his safety, she forgot to call home.

"Don’t worry, I’ve told your aunt already. Besides, Xiao Yang is already on his way." Gu Chun replied. Originally, he hadn’t told Lian Qingyang, but that brat pieced together the situation when calling Zhao Xiangyang, and rushed over from Jing City immediately.

Even though Gu Chun already informed Lian Qingyang that Tang Yue was fine, Lian Qingyang still decided to come. By typical calculations, he should arrive by tomorrow morning.

"Ah..."

Tang Yue frowned. Just thinking about how Lian Qingyang might nag her gave her a headache. She called home, chatting over the phone, and Zhang Hualian even mentioned that she couldn’t reach her yesterday.

Tang Yue could only laugh and change the subject.

After hanging up, Wu Xin stood before her with a face full of guilt.

"Aren’t I fine? Besides, they meticulously planned it; we were defenseless." Tang Yue felt helpless too. Suddenly, she said, "Siyu, the person who kidnapped me, can’t they be found?"

"What do you think?" Meng Siyu glanced at her meaningfully.

Tang Yue’s bright eyes gleamed as she speculated, "Could their helicopter have problems?"

"But that can’t be right. If it did, how did you guys manage to fly here?" Tang Yue dismissed her own guess, looking at him in confusion.

Meng Siyu gently tapped her petite nose, saying, "The helicopter is fine, but the fuel is low."

With not much fuel in the helicopter, it had to land, and he had coordinated with local forces to monitor all potential landing sites, ready to trap them should they land.

Their cunning plan to escape with money was doomed to fail.

If only he hadn’t been careless before, letting that slippery person escape, this situation wouldn’t have happened now. Although the identity details were confidential, how did they find out about Xiao Yue?

Suppressing his doubts, Meng Siyu decided to handle these matters himself, preferring not to burden Xiao Yue.

"How will you know where they landed?" Tang Yue, like a curious child, had endless questions.

Meng Siyu placed the clothes into Tang Yue’s arms.

"Go take a bath." Meng Siyu nudged her towards the bathroom.
