Rong Xinghe quickly checked Cheng Tai's pulse and realized that she was still alive , even though the pulse rate was slowing down swiftly. Yes ! She was not allowed to leave them , damn it !

She turned around and nodded at Feng Mian ,"Let's fricken' finish this."

In a mere time span of forty seconds , all the assassins were lying lifelessly on the ground as blood flowed down their heads. Both Feng Mian and Rong Xinghe breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the unconscious Cheng Tai.

"Tai !"

The moment they realized that the firing had come to halt , the five men rushed out of the penthouse to check on their kiddo and Feng Mian , followed by the girl's sister-in-laws. But to their horror , the person harmed was neither Rong Xinghe nor Feng Mian. It was Cheng Tai !

Of course , Mo Zixuan was scared the most. No matter what and how complicated their relationship was , it hadn't come to a point where he could afford to lose her.

The man reflexively strode towards the woman and held her in his arms ,"Tai ! Get up. Are you listening to me ? Please get up!"

"Zixuan , calm down.", Feng Mian patted the man's shoulder.

"How do you expect me to calm down ? She... she is my Tai. She is my girl. I am not upset with her to the extent where I can just let her go like that. I had asked her for time. So how could she leave me like this ?", Mo Zixuan finally realized his feelings for the woman. But was it too late ?

Rong Xinghe sighed and nodded at Rong Xiao as she gestured her to bring one of their cars. She then knelt down and cupped her brother's face ,"Before fainting , she told me to deliver a message to you."

"Message ?", Mo Zixuan looked at his kiddo blankly.

"She said she loves you and that she is sorry. Bro Mo , she took the shot for me. The assassin was targeting me but she saved me by risking her life like that. For all the insulting words she used against me that day , isn't this sacrifice a frightening payback ? Just forget what happened back then and accept her. Go and save your woman. Tell her that you also love her and don't hold a grudge against her for me. After all , the mighty Rong Xinghe owes her life to your woman.", the girl said seriously.

By this time , Rong Xiao had already reached at the entrance with the car ,"Bring sis-in-law , bro. We need to get to the hospital. You hop in as well , Bro Rogguang and sis-in-law Tong. We will need someone for medical procedures there."

"Go brother.", Rong Xinghe smiled at the man.

"You are not coming ? Without you...", Mo Zixuan was afraid to not have the girl by his side at a time like this.

Rong Xinghe shook her head ,"Duty calls. Country X has a war to fight currently. The nation needs its Military Chief. I and Mian will have to rush back to Military Chief Office as soon as possible. The Naval Forces are at risk , so I am sorry."

This was something all the six men understood. Rong Xinghe would never leave her brothers' side , until and unless it was about the country. Whenever it was about prioritizing her identities , Military Chief Rong Xinghe would always stand up above the kiddo sister. So none of the family members tried to talk the girl out of this. Mo Zixuan nodded his head and carried Cheng Tai in his arms towards the car.

The moment Rong Xiao drove away , MCST soldiers entered the Elite premises with heavily loaded weapons and bullet proof vehicles. But it was then that they noticed the dead bodies of all the assassins on the ground. Did their boss and Feng Mian actually handled the highly skilled gunmen trained by Hafiz Al-Magdosh alone ? That was way too impressive !

"Sorry for the delay , Military Chief."

Rong Xinghe waved her hands in dismissal ,"It was inevitable. Journalist named Cheng Tai has been shot in order to protect me. Inform the victim's family and provide her with proper Military aid as well as surveillance. Am I making myself clear ?"

This Rong Xinghe was too different from the girl the family and Xi Yuan had seen not too long ago.

A moment ago , she was just a sister-in-law worried for Cheng Tai. She was a sister who was pacifying her brother. But now , she was the fierce Military Chief. A woman , for whom , Cheng Tai was nothing but a civilian , who needed to be cured. She had converted herself into the protector of the nation the minute she conversated with her military comrades and was no more a person the family could identify easily.

"As per your orders , Boss !"

"And we will be leaving for Military Chief Office soon.", Rong Xinghe continued.

"Proper arrangements will be done , Ma'am."

Rong Xinghe then turned around to look at her family ,"You all should also go and stay by Bro Mo's side. He won't be able to handle that alone. Yuan , could you bring my extra revolver from my bedroom drawer ? This one is empty."

Xi Yuan nodded his head and came back with the weapon soon enough. Rong Xinge took the revolver from the man and turned around to leave but before she could go any further , Xi Yuan stretched out his hand and pulled the girl into his warm embrace.

Now , this was something he did in front of all the remaining three brothers of the girl. But he was too worried about his woman to think about anyone else other than her.

"Yuan...", the girl tried to separate herself from the man.

"Just take care of yourself. For me ?", the man held onto the girl tightly.

When he had seen Cheng Tai lying unconsciously in Mo Zixuan's arms few minutes ago , he didn't even dared to imagine what would have happened if it had been his Xinghe lying there like that.

He couldn't even imagine what he would have had done if the assassins had actually shot the woman he loved. He was scared , very scared by just the mere thought.

Rong Xinghe naturally understood this as she gently separated the man from her and smiled at him softly.

"I will take care. For you."
