The voices of two women talking came to his ears, and Xu Lang's consciousness slowly woke up.
"Where am I? Am I still alive?"
Xu Lang's meaning was still very vague. He wanted to open his eyes, but it felt like his eyelids were sewn shut with something. He tried several times but failed to open them.
As his consciousness slowly regained consciousness, Xu Lang felt a sharp pain spreading throughout his body. The pain was mainly concentrated in his waist, abdomen, and arms.
pain!
This was Xu Lang's first feeling. He felt that his whole body was about to fall apart. There was no part of his body that was not in pain. This pain accelerated Xu Lang's awakening. He knew that he was not dead. He survived. He was alive.
The edge between life and death is wandering again.
Xu Lang slowly opened his eyes. Although there was only a gap, he saw light and a blurry figure.
"Aunt Ye, he's awake."
The moment Xu Lang just opened his eyes, the little girl's voice of surprise sounded in his ears.
"If you really wake up, I'll call the doctor."
Immediately, a woman's voice sounded, and then Xu Lang heard rapid footsteps and ran towards the door.
"Yueyue..."
Xu Lang's eyes were still a little blurry, but the first sound that came out of his mouth was to call his daughter's name.
"I'm here, I'm here..."
Following Xu Lang's call, Xiao Yueyue, who had been sitting next to Xu Lang and staring closely at Xu Lang, immediately answered. Then, a cold little hand held Xu Lang's big hand tightly. The girl
His strength was so strong that it seemed that Xu Lang would disappear in the next second.
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
Over the years, he has lost too many things and people. People around him were killed, sacrificed, and left one by one. In the end, there were very few left, and the one he cared about and worried about the most was Xiao Yueyue.
Now, when he heard Xiao Yueyue's voice, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The eyelids he had just opened became heavy again, and a deep fatigue hit his heart. Xu Lang felt very tired, and he needed a good sleep.
Xu Lang slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep, and then he heard a slight snore.
"Xu Lang, Xu Lang, dad... what's wrong with you? Wake up, don't scare me, don't leave me alone..."
Ye Du, who had just hurried out to find a doctor, heard Xiao Yueyue's anxious and panicked call as soon as she reached the door of the ward. The joy in her heart suddenly disappeared.
What happened to Xu Lang? Could it be that he...
Thinking of this, Ye Du rushed into the room and saw Xu Lang closing his eyes and lying motionless on the bed, while Xiao Yueyue was lying on Xu Lang, shaking Xu Lang crazily, and his whole person became very nervous.
Anxiously, it seems that Xu Lang is dead.
Ye Du's star-like eyes suddenly shone, her breathing became heavier and her steps became heavier. She couldn't believe that Xu Lang would really die.
It was not only Ye Du who heard the sound, but also the medical staff. After hearing the sound, they rushed into the ward and came to the bedside. The nurse took Xiao Yueyue away, and the doctor began to examine Xu Lang.
The doctor, who had a serious face at first, conducted a simple examination and discovered that Xu Lang was not dead. He was just too weak and his body automatically entered a dormant state.
Ye Du also noticed something was wrong at this time, because she saw that the instrument placed next to Xu Lang's bed was still floating, which meant that Xu Lang was not dead.
"call......"
Ye Du took a long breath, came to the doctor, and asked softly: "How is he?"
"It's okay, I was just too tired and fell asleep. It's probably because the previous shot of sedative has worn off, so it's okay," the doctor said.
After hearing this, Ye Du breathed a sigh of relief.
The doctor carefully examined Xu Lang's body, then explained the precautions to Ye Du, and left with the nurse.
Only Ye Du and Xiao Yueyue were left in the ward, and of course, Xu Lang was lying there.
Xiao Yueyue is a very smart child. When the doctor examined Xu Lang, she realized something was wrong and Xu Lang was not dead. This made her very happy and relaxed.
Care leads to chaos, and that is exactly what Xiao Yueyue is.
Ye Du sat on the chair, looking at Xu Lang's face wrapped in gauze, his slightly rising chest, and his brows that never seemed to relax, feeling a little dazed.

"You knew she would take action?"
In a certain room, the young man looked at the old man and asked.
The old man is sitting on a chair, no, to be precise, the old man is lying on a chair.
After hearing what the young man said, the old man just opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the young man who was furious and looked very ugly.
"I don't know." The old man said calmly.
"Then how do you know I can't kill him?" the young man asked.
The old man closed his eyes and said nothing. He didn't know whether he didn't know how to answer the man, or he was just dismissive.
Answer this question.
"Why do you value him so much? In what way am I inferior to him?" the young man asked.
The old man turned a deaf ear and seemed not to have heard.
The young man stared at the old man for a long time, his breathing gradually became heavier, and his hands gradually clenched into fists, as if he wanted to do something, but after some hesitation, he still fully relaxed his hands.
After the young man let go of his hand, the old man opened his eyes slightly and glanced at the man.
"Do you know why she likes Xu Lang but not you?" the old man asked lightly.
"Because he is a policeman?" the young man replied angrily.
The old man shook his head gently and said: "The anger in you is too strong, and you are too sharp."
"You mean, I'm not as good as him?"
The young man's anger, which had finally calmed down, rose to the top of his head again.
"hehe......"
The old man smiled, struggled to stand up from his chair, and walked outside.
As he walked, he said: "If you want to defeat someone, you must first defeat yourself. At this point, he is better than you. Don't worry, you will fight one day."
After saying this, the old man left the room.
The young man stared at the old man's back, his breathing was extremely heavy, and his face was very distorted. However, after the old man left, the man's expression slowly returned to calm, and he walked to the place where the old man had been sitting just now.
He sat down and murmured to himself: "Old immortal, do you really think I don't know what you want to do? Humph..."
————
The old man walked out of the room slowly.
The old man did not have too many mood swings because of what just happened.
The young man did not listen to his words and came back again. This was what the old man expected, and the man's action was also what he expected.
In fact, there was one more thing that the old man did not tell the young man. Today, he was almost going to die on the spot.
The mantis hunts the cicada, the oriole behind it, the slingshot at the bottom, and the cold arrow at the side. Who is the real hunter? Do you know?
The reason why the old man acquiesced to the young man's action was because in his opinion, it was a good thing, at least, for now, it was a good thing.
"Still too young."
The man murmured to himself.

After Xu Lang's accident, Ning Yanran received the news.
At that time, when she heard that a special police officer had died and was killed by a heavy sniper rifle, Ning Yanran's heart sank, because she knew that the sniper came for Xu Lang. This was a kind of
Intuition, an instinctive intuition.
When she felt the scene and learned that Xu Lang was rushed to the hospital for rescue, she wanted to go to the hospital immediately to check the situation, but she didn't, she couldn't do that, and she couldn't do that. She was from the General Bureau of Public Security.
Deputy Director, such a big thing happened, she needs to stay at the scene and participate in the investigation of the case.
When Ning Yanran saw the heavy sniper rifle, her heart suddenly sank and her face turned pale. This reminded her of what happened seven years ago.
Seven years ago, Xu Lang suffered an attack. At that time, many people were killed or injured. Among them, the second criminal investigation team she led at the time suffered the most serious losses. In that time, Xu Lang lost his last relative, his twins.
Brother Xu Wei, and of course, Xu Lang's lover Shu Yue.
That incident was a huge blow to Xu Lang, causing him to sink for a time. If it weren't for Shu Yue leaving him a daughter, who knows what Xu Lang would have accomplished with his character?
Seven years later, when Xu Lang came back again, the same thing happened again, which made Ning Yanran feel shuddering.
"What does he know? Why would someone kill him? Even use this weapon?"
These questions appeared in Ning Yanran's mind, making her feel very confused and irritable.
Not long ago, news came from the hospital that Xu Lang was not dead. The bullet only scratched Xu Lang's waist. The wound looked scary, but it was nothing serious and he would be fine as long as he rested for a while.
This news is undoubtedly good news for Ning Yanran, at least for the time being.
After receiving this news, Ning Yanran showed her resolute side and directly began to intervene in the investigation of this case with the strongest attitude. No one was surprised by her reaction.

Yanjing City, inside a certain mansion.
A woman in pajamas stood on the balcony, holding a glass of red wine in her hand and looking towards the south.
The sky was very dark, the night was already deep, and there was nothing on Sky Mountain except a crescent moon.
Compared with the south, the moon in Yanjing City looks so dim, and the stars that can be clearly seen in the south are almost invisible due to the haze.
December is coming soon, and the weather in the north is getting colder and colder. The cold wind blows, making people shiver.
The woman was wearing very thin clothes. The breeze blew by, blowing the woman's hair and her clothes. Her originally fair cheeks were blown red by the cold wind, making her look very attractive.
The woman's expression was very cold, a kind of coldness that would repel people thousands of miles away, just like the white lotus on the snow-capped mountains, which could only be seen from a distance.
Whether it was because of the cold or something else, the woman's hand holding the wine glass shook slightly. Her originally rosy face suddenly turned pale, and she felt inexplicably flustered.
The woman frowned, turned around and walked into the room, sat down on a chair and put down her wine glass.
‘Why do you feel this way?
Where are you sleeping?’
The woman murmured to herself, and then her face changed, as if she had thought of something, so she picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"Check for me what happened in City S. The sooner the better."
After saying that, the woman hung up the phone.
Perhaps it was too cold. The woman huddled on the chair, her pale face not returning to normal for a long time. Her eyes, which never seemed to be mixed with emotion, were now full of panic and uneasiness.
"Dingling bells..."
Not long after, the woman's cell phone rang. It was the person calling just now.
"A shooting occurred in City S tonight. Wang Anyan, the murderer of many journalists in recent days, was shot dead."
After hearing the news, the woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was not that concerned about whether Wang Anyan was killed. She only cared about one person.
"Any more news?"
"According to reliable information, after Wang Anyan was shot dead by the police, someone attacked the police at the scene, and a special police officer died. In addition..."
At this point, the other party paused for a moment, seeming to be hesitating whether to continue speaking.
"explain."
The heart that had just relaxed was brought up again. It was obvious that she realized that something bad might have happened.
"In addition, Xu Lang, the leader of the CSY criminal investigation team, was seriously injured during this operation and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment."
"How is he?" the woman asked quickly.
"The man was rescued and returned, but his left arm was fractured and his waist was grazed by a bullet."
Hearing this, the woman immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a scratch from the bullet, so there would be no problem.
"Has the person who attacked the police been caught? What weapon did he use?" the woman asked casually.
"It is said that the murderer has been shot dead, and the specific weapon he used is not known yet. However, judging from the murderer's location, it should be a sniper rifle."
"What?!"
The woman suddenly raised her voice and stood up from her chair. She was obviously shocked and excited.
Just now, she thought that Xu Lang's injury was just an accident. Now, she felt something was wrong. No wonder she was flustered just now. No wonder she felt scared and uneasy. It turned out that all of this happened against him. Seven years ago,
Will things happen again?
The woman fell into deep thought.
"Mr. Ye..."
On the other end of the phone, the other party didn't hear the woman's words for a long time, so he asked tentatively.
"Book me the earliest flight to S city immediately."
"good."
"Also, go find out who the gangster is who attacked the police. I want to know his identity."
"This... Mr. Ye, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. After all, this is a police matter. It's not appropriate for us to interfere, right?"
"Do as I say."
"Okay, I understand."
The call was immediately hung up.
The woman put down her cell phone casually, walked to the balcony with bare feet, and looked at the southern sky, her eyes gradually becoming cold and cold.
"After so many years, you still don't plan to let him go, right? In this case, let's try and see who has the last laugh."
The woman's business is very low. When the cold wind blows, it dissipates in the air and goes away with the wind.

In the night, Tian Yongchun's face looked ugly. The police lights flashing around him made his face bright and dark, making him look particularly scary.
The people standing around Tian Yongchun did not dare to express their anger, especially the few people who were at the scene of the crime. They all felt that Tian Yongchun was very angry at this time, which was a rare thing.
When most people saw Tian Yongchun's expression, they thought it was because of the appearance of heavy sniper rifles in S City that he was so angry. At that time, people who knew Tian Yongchun and Xu Lang knew that Tian Yongchun was so angry.
The issue was not about the sniper rifle, but about Xu Lang's attack.
The people present were not fools. They didn't notice anything when it happened. However, afterward, they naturally realized that the sniper was not targeting the police or the sacrificed special police officer, but Xu Lang.
For Xu Lang, he was lucky, because he survived, and the price was that someone took a shot for him. If the special policeman hadn't run in front of Xu Lang and blocked the bullet, then Xu Lang
He might have died at that time. Just thinking about it makes people run cold down their spines.
In front of many police officers, a special police officer's head was beaten into pieces like a watermelon. What is this? This is a provocation, a naked provocation.
This time, it was a special police officer who was beaten to death. So, what about next time? Who will it be? The head of the director of the Public Security Bureau who was present, or the head of Tian Yongchun, the director of the General Bureau of Public Security?
This time, Xu Lang survived by luck, but what about next time? Will there be another attack on Xu Lang?
No one knows the answer, but everyone's heart is full of anger and fear.
Is it considered dereliction of duty that the police didn't know that heavy weapons entered S City? This time, heavy sniper rifles appeared. So, will rocket launchers appear next time?
Thinking of this, everyone's faces became extremely solemn.
Tian Yongchun gradually recovered his thoughts and looked around. Finally, his eyes stayed on the faces of Ding Haoqiong and the SWAT captain. He narrowed his eyes and said: "Investigate, investigate thoroughly, one week, I only give you one week, if you can't investigate
Come out and take off your police uniforms."
After saying these words, Tian Yongchun turned and left, leaving everyone behind with solemn expressions.
