Chapter 40

Lu Mian helped Sui Yuan out of the dark alley. She found Xiao Qimo and Ye Jinwen watching her from the alleyway.

Ye Jinwen eyed her strangely and his legs seemed to be trembling.

She grinned, looking as peaceful as ever.

Ye Jinwen’s legs shook even more. Big Sister, you went on full massacre mode earlier with those novices. Don’t look as though you had nothing to do with it, okay?

He knew how ruthless she could be after witnessing it first-hand.

That’s why after the reverse hypnosis experience from Lu Mian, he felt like he had been hit by a hammer.

Xiao Qimo watched Lu Mian approach. His almond-shaped eyes beneath the glasses were filled with comfort as he smiled.

As compared to the fight he had witnessed at the back alley of the Su residence, he guessed that she had only used 10% of her strength in this fight.

She was quite accomplished; her moves were agile and her limbs were flexible.

Lu Mian walked past him after a simple greeting.

Xiao Qimo spoke gently, “Your friend is hurt. I have trauma medicine at my place. You can treat your friend there.”

He was cultured, refined, gentlemanly and meticulous, with just the right amount of care for people.

However, Ye Jinwen knew that one should be more guarded against Xiao Qimo when he behaved like this because he was definitely planning something.

He became incredibly curious in an instant. If the gently yet two-faced Master Mo and the tyrannical but intelligent Lu Mian got together, what kind of chemistry would erupt between them?

The more he thought of it, the more excited he became…

Xiao Qimo’s suggestion was fair and Lu Mian accepted it. After all, she had to send Sui Yuan to rest at home.

She reassured Sui Yuan with a few words before letting her go into Xiao Qimo’s car. After all, Sui Yuan was hurt so she shouldn’t stay in the cold. She straddled her motorcycle again and followed the car all the way back to the neighborhood.

Xiao Qimo was staying at Jincheng One which also meant a bright future. It was adjacent to Kun Peng Middle School in a highly sought-after luxurious school district.

There weren’t many varieties to the houses, but the price was very high. The large flats were especially hard to come by.

The group arrived on the eighth floor.

Sui Yuan was a bit surprised, but she followed quietly into the neighbor’s house.

Lu Mian didn’t enter. She remained outside and made some calls first.

“Ehm, I’ve found Sui Yuan.”

She replied coldly to something that the other party said, “No need. I’ll do a thorough investigation.”

Xiao Qimo’s house was quite big. He arranged for Sui Yuan to rest in one of the guest rooms.

Ye Jinwen gave her a quick look-over.

The flesh wounds on her arms should be fine after disinfecting and bandaging, but he couldn’t tell if there were any other injuries on her.

Ye Jinwen stared at Xiao Qimo who was standing beside him deep in his own thoughts. Suddenly, he leaned over and said mysteriously, “Seventh Brother, you’re the one to pick him up so you should come and tend to the little brother!”

His voice was flattering.

Xiao Qimo sneered before turning his head and walking away. “You do it.”

“I…”

“It’s not like you don’t know how. You can give him a counseling session at the same time.”

Ye Jinwen thought, I stopped being a surgeon many years ago!

Forget it. It wasn’t a surgery. How could he bother Master Mo. He was just trying his luck by asking.

He did his best with Sui Yuan’s bandaging.

However, Sui Yuan was timid and prone to shock. Ye Jinwen had to reassure her repeatedly and remind her that they were Lu Mian’s friends before she finally started to relax.

However, during the process of bandaging, he discovered something remarkable.

He remained calm and finished Sui Yuan’s bandages. He then asked patiently, “Do you have other injuries on your body?”

Sui Yuan shook her head.

Ye Jinwen quickly poured her a glass of warm water, closed the door and walked out.

He skipped excitedly to Xiao Qimo and whispered, “Seventh Brother. Seventh Brother, she is a girl!”

He told Xiao Qimo what he found out. When he looked up, Seventh Brother’s eyes seemed to light up.

He rubbed his eyes; he wasn’t mistaken.

Xiao Qimo smiled gently and elegantly. “Go and take care of that female student. I’ll go check on Lu Mian.”

With that, he walked out the door.

Lu Mian just happened to hang up the phone.
