Nobody said that teachers at elite academies have to be heartthrobs.

"Teacher!!" Qiaoqi was the first to rush in, her eyes red and swollen, with tear stains on her face.

She saw that Yu Fuli's clothes were torn and stained with blood on his shoulder, and that he also had abrasions on his face. Tears welled up in her eyes again. She wanted to rush over but was afraid of touching his wounds, so she stood there helplessly.

Behind her were fully armed, serious-looking members of the college security team, as well as Wen Qiaoan and two medical personnel in white coats carrying professional first aid kits.

"Save them first!" The head of security immediately spotted Yun Bai, who was in the most critical situation, and Xiao Chi, who had difficulty moving.

Wen Qiaoan quickly stepped forward to check on Yunbai.

His expression was grave: "High fever, confusion, severe wound infection, excessive blood loss leading to signs of impending shock—she must be rushed back to the hospital for emergency surgery!"

Two medical staff members rushed forward, quickly laid Yunbai flat, performed initial treatment, and attached an IV bag.

When they tried to lift Yun Bai onto the folding stretcher, they found that his hand was still tightly gripping Yu Fuli's clothes, with an astonishing strength that made it impossible to pry his knuckles apart.

Yunbai struggled to open her eyes amidst the turbulence.

His vision was blurred and unfocused, and the high fever was burning his mind, but the first image that came into view through the haze was still Yu Fuli, who was guarding the stretcher with an anxious expression.

His chapped lips moved slightly, his breath so faint it was almost inaudible, yet he stubbornly uttered broken words: "Teacher... has... injuries..."

Wen Qiaoan's expression changed drastically.

His attention had been entirely focused on Yun Bai's critical injuries, but upon hearing this, he immediately leaned closer to Yu Fuli, his gentle eyes filled with seriousness and concern: "Teacher Yu, where are you injured? Let me see!"

He then went to check.

"No, really, nothing!" Yu Fuli hurriedly waved her hands, stepping aside to avoid his examining hands, pointing to Yun Bai on the stretcher and Xiao Chi on the other side, her tone filled with helplessness and urgency, "It's just abrasions, it's nothing serious! They're the two who are seriously injured! Wen, take care of him first!"

He was both anxious and heartbroken. He turned to look at Yunbai on the stretcher, who was in a daze but still stubbornly staring at him, as if she could only feel at ease after confirming that he was safe and sound. His heart felt like it was being tugged by something.

Although Yunbai was indeed quite unreasonable before, now that she is being cared for like this, everything from the past can be wiped clean.

My goodness, you're in such a state, you've almost bled to death, and your body temperature is so high you could fry an egg on it. Can't you worry about yourself first?

Yu Fuli leaned down, softening her voice as much as possible, and said clearly to Yun Bai, "I'm fine, I don't have any minor injuries. Listen to me, close your eyes and rest to conserve your energy, we'll be at the hospital soon."

Perhaps it was because she heard his assurance, or perhaps she had truly reached her limit, but the last glimmer of light in Yun Bai's eyes finally faded, her eyelids closed heavily, and she fell into a coma.

But his brows remained tightly furrowed, as if he couldn't find peace even in his sleep.

After confirming that Yu Fuli only had some superficial abrasions, Wen Qiaoan breathed a sigh of relief and refocused all her attention on monitoring Yun Bai's vital signs and providing emergency treatment. However, her gaze towards Yu Fuli held a thoughtful expression.

Another doctor examined Xiao Chi's leg and gasped: "Severe ankle sprain, ligaments are likely to be torn, and a minor bone fracture cannot be ruled out. Immediate immobilization and X-ray examination are needed."

Professional splints were quickly applied, and Xiao Chi was helped onto another stretcher.

Only then did the available medical staff have time to treat the abrasions on Yu Fuli's shoulder and the bruises all over her body.

"They are all superficial injuries, but fatigue and cold have caused low body temperature, so they need to be kept warm and observed."

Qiao Qi immediately took off her thick coat and tried to put it on Yu Fuli, but Yu Fuli waved her hand and refused, saying, "You wear it, don't catch a cold."

At this moment, a security guard handed over a warm blanket, and Qiao Qi, with red eyes, draped it over Yu Fuli without saying a word.

The group was quickly escorted away from the cabin.

It wasn't until we emerged from the woods that we saw several SUVs, an ambulance, and even a rescue helicopter ready for takeoff in a relatively open area, clearly prepared for the worst-case scenario.

Only now did Yu Fuli truly realize that they had been rescued.

The sunlight was a bit dazzling, and the snow reflected the light.

Wrapped in a blanket, Yu Fuli got into the car and watched the snow-covered forest rushing past the window. His nerves, which had been tense all night, finally began to relax, and an overwhelming wave of fatigue instantly overwhelmed him.

He glanced one last time at Yun Bai, who was unconscious in the ambulance next to him, and at Xiao Chi, who was resting with his eyes closed in another car, his face still looking grim.

This day and night of experience was like a bizarre and surreal nightmare.

And now, the dream is finally coming to an end.

Ambulances and rescue convoys sped into the emergency lane of the college's affiliated hospital.

As soon as the car door opened, a group of school leaders, including the board members and the dean, who had already received the news and were anxiously waiting at the door, immediately surrounded the car, their faces increasingly grim.

Yu Fuli was helped out of the car by medical staff, but before she could even speak, she was overwhelmed by a barrage of questions.

"Teacher Yu! How are you? Where are you hurt?"

"What on earth happened? How did it get like this?!"

"How is Xiao Chi doing?"

Yu Fuli was dizzy from the noise. He composed himself, raised his voice, and said in a slightly hoarse voice from exhaustion, "I'm fine, just a few scratches."

He stepped aside, making way for the two stretchers being carefully carried off the ambulance behind him, and said in a heavy tone, "But Yunbai and Xiaochi are seriously injured. Yunbai suffered an abdominal injury, lost too much blood, and developed a high fever due to infection; she is already unconscious. Xiaochi has a severe sprained left ankle, which may have broken the bone."

He concealed the fact that Yunbai had suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen.

As soon as he finished speaking, the school leaders who had gathered around gasped in shock. Their eyes fell on the two stretchers. Yun Bai was pale and unconscious, with thick bandages around her waist and abdomen that shone with an ominous dark red. Xiao Chi was conscious, but his face was ashen, and his legs were in professional splints. Anyone could tell that his injuries were serious.

Several older school board members experienced a sudden blackout and swayed, only managing to avoid fainting on the spot thanks to the frantic support of those around them.

What, is there something to do with Yunbai?!

Wasn't it said that only Yu Fuli and Xiao Chi were missing?!

Where did Yunbai come from?!

Something terrible has happened! Something drastic has happened!

It happened during an equestrian class organized by the academy, on their own turf!

The injured were not ordinary students, but Yun Bai and Xiao Chi!

They are the heirs of those two behemoths who stand behind the entire empire's business and political circles!

It's over...it's all over...

The dean felt a chill run from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, and his limbs were ice cold.

He could almost see the enraged Yun family and Xiao family, see the academy being held accountable and punished, and see his own future and the future of everyone present... no, their lives and fortunes hanging by a thread, ready to be burned to ashes at any moment by that overwhelming rage, or even easily crushed like ants.

"Hurry! Hurry! At all costs! Use the best doctors! The best medicine! The best equipment! Make sure both students are safe and sound!" The dean's voice trembled as he almost roared the order to the hospital director, cold sweat streaming down his pale face.

He doesn't want to die!
