After returning home, Qin Xue entered the space once. Only after she saw Xue Ling and the two children playing happily, she came out and started tidying up the meat she had bought today in the kitchen.
There was just too much dirt and sand, she didn’t know how many times she would need to clean the meat before it would be thoroughly clean.
Qin Xue took the meat out of the space and started washing it slowly after heating up a pot of water with coal balls. The sight of the sand and dirt in the washbasin left her speechless.
What on earth happened today? Going out to buy meat was supposed to be a good thing, yet it turned out like this.
I wonder whether that man woke up yet? Getting shot in Hua Country is no minor incident.
However, looking at him appearing out in public, Qin Xue thought he probably wasn’t a wanted criminal. So in a moment of compassion, she saved him, hoping her decision was right.
While Qin Xue was trying to figure out if Gu Beihan was a bad man, Gu Beihan woke up on the other side.
“Young master, you are awake. How are you feeling? Is there anywhere that’s uncomfortable?” Ying asked joyfully after seeing Gu Beihan wake up.
“How did I get back here?” Gu Beihan asked, sitting up with effort.
“Gu Jia and Gu Yi helped you return, is anything wrong?” Ying asked, puzzled.
“Nothing.” For some reason, Gu Beihan didn’t want to tell Ying about the events of the day.
“Are you hungry, young master? Would you like something to eat now?” Jing asked Gu Beihan. She was captivated by him since their first meeting, so she helped him with everything unconditionally, hoping to be by his side and be close to him.
“No need, you can leave first. I want to rest a bit more.” Gu Beihan smiled at Ying.
“Alright, rest well then. Call me if you need anything.” Ying saw Gu Beihan’s smile and felt overjoyed. She believed the young master treated her differently.
However, what Ying did not know was that although Gu Beihan treated her differently, it was not in the way she imagined.
It’s because Gu Beihan was thankful for her help all along, even though he treats her differently, it’s only as a brother would treat a sister, not as a man would treat a woman.
It’s unfortunate that Ying didn’t understand Gu Beihan’s intentions, leading to so many happenings later on. But this is a story for another time, so let’s not discuss it now.
Returning to the present, after Ying left the room, Gu Beihan started thinking about the previous events. He remembered receiving a note that claimed to know who was out to get him and told him to go to XX Alley immediately if he wanted to know more.
But as he arrived at the corner of the alley, he bumped into someone. He clearly saw a very beautiful girl scream. Does her pile of vegetables matter more than him?
But before he could react, he was knocked out by a bag of vegetables. If people found out about this, he would be laughed at.
He looked down at his chest wound. He had already felt faint from losing too much blood, and had run a long distance after that. He remembered his shirt being soaked with blood. Did Ying change his shirt for him after they returned?
He had known Ying for many years, and this was not the first time something like this happen. He had told Ying about it, but she always ignored him. However, he decided to stop reminding her as long as she doesn’t cross the line. He had his own principles and persistence, he doesn’t want to break them before its time.
But the knot on his bandages doesn’t look like Ying’s handwork. Did Gu Jia get somebody else to treat his wound before helping him back?
If that’s the case, there is someone who knows about his gunshot wound, an occurrence that is almost impossible in Hua Country. This might cause issues soon. No, he needs to address this before it becomes more complicated.
After thinking for a while, Gu Beihan was still uneasy, so he decided to call in Gu Jia for questioning: “Gu Jia.”
