Chapter 71 The Anxiety of Gain and Loss

"..."Ichiro Sato had already passed out. Otherwise, he would definitely have added, "I don't believe this crap!"

Indeed, if it wasn't for the two marriage certificates tucked under the pillow, even Qin Yu himself might not believe it.

The wife registered in the books was a top-tier beauty with a net worth of several billions, along with a stunning appearance.

"Patch him up simply and take him upstairs!"

At this moment, Lu Wenrou and several special police officers climbed up the soft ladder onto the speedboat.

"Yes!"

Soon, Ichiro Sato was taken away, and what awaited him was certainly severe punishment by the law.

"By the way, he has a mistress, named Liu Nanyan. The two of them colluded and did plenty of bad deeds, don't let her get away!"

Qin Yu told Lu Wenrou.

He took this opportunity to completely clear away all potential threats to his wife.

"Mhm, I will thoroughly investigate everyone related to this matter!"

Lu Wenrou replied, her eyes fixed on Qin Yu without blinking, and after a few seconds she added, "Next time, let's spar again. Only by crossing hands with a master like you might I be able to understand 'hidden strength'."

"Uh... just don't go back on your word!"

Qin Yu said sheepishly.

He knew what 'hidden strength' Lu Wenrou mentioned meant; it represented a stage in the realm of martial arts.

The martial arts manual states: A sweet sound is worth a thousand gold.

It means that if a martial artist can make a muffled thud when striking, they have reached the threshold of a 'visible strength' master.

Beyond that, one could use the power of the body's meridians to harm others, and this realm is known as hidden strength.

If continued practice leads to the ability to harm with every single muscle, even teeth and hair, one is considered to have reached martial arts perfection, known as 'transformative strength.'

Qin Yu had only recently understood hidden strength himself; otherwise, he really might not have been a match for Lu Wenrou.

"Then that's a deal!"

"Snap!"

Lu Wenrou extended her hand and clapped with Qin Yu as an agreement.

Afterward, the two boarded the helicopter together and returned to the dock.

"Oh, there's one more thing, your Audi fell into the sea!"

Before parting ways, Qin Yu said while scratching his head sheepishly.

"It's fine. Catching Ichiro Sato is a great achievement for us; losing a car is nothing! Hmm... how about you come work for me?"

Lu Wenrou offered an olive branch.

A man of Qin Yu's spirit and ability was exactly what their security department needed.

"Heh, thanks. But I think I prefer being a bodyguard for my boss!"

Qin Yu replied with a smile.

If he left to follow Lu Wenrou, who would protect Yan Mingyu?

"Well... alright then. Anyway, you have my number. Let's keep in touch! I'm off first!"

"Goodbye!"

After watching Lu Wenrou and the special police leave, Qin Yu finally sat down on the ground. He wasn't made of iron; his physical strength was almost completely drained, and he needed to rest on the spot to recover.

After a while, he started to feel a bit better.

He stood up, took off the delivery outfit that resembled strips of cloth, holding his helmet, and walked towards the outside of the dock.

He hailed a taxi and first went back to the urban village.

After taking a shower and tending to his wounds, he changed clothes and rode his electric scooter to the hospital.

All in all, Yan Mingyu was not badly hurt, just a bit shocked. After getting hooked up to an IV, she fell into a deep sleep.

In her dream, a figure in a yellow delivery outfit kept flashing before her eyes.

"Qin Yu, Qin Yu!"

Yan Mingyu mumbled in her drowsiness.

"Boss Yan!"

Qin Yu, sitting in the corridor, heard Yan Mingyu's calls, pushed the door open, and quickly went inside.

"Huh..."

Yan Mingyu opened her eyes, let out a small breath, and then said, "It's you!"

"Uh... weren't you calling for me?"

Qin Yu asked, puzzled.

Could it be that Yan Mingyu knew a second Qin Yu?

"I...."

Yan Mingyu felt a vague sense of shame, not expecting that she would call out her "husband's" name in her dreams.

After all, legally speaking, he was the person closest to her.

That night, he had once again rushed to her rescue without hesitation, making her develop a bit of fondness for that "husband."

As for the "betrayal," she always felt there must be some misunderstanding. seaʀᴄh thё NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

How could her grandfather, with his discerning eye, possibly let her marry a man known for being a playboy?

"President Yan, then you should rest well; I'll be outside!"

Qin Yu didn't think too much and left the room after closing the door.

It seemed she still needed to have a proper talk with him; since they weren't divorced, they couldn't continue in such a confused state, right?

Yan Mingyu stared at the ceiling and said to herself.

For the next few hours, Yan Mingyu couldn't sleep; instead, she pondered how to deal with her relationship with her "husband."

Seeing that it was getting light outside, she picked up her cellphone from the nightstand and after searching for a while, found the number she had texted as her "husband."

He was a delivery guy, up early and working late; he should be awake at this hour?

Yan Mingyu bit her lip, her fair and slender fingers gently tapping the screen: I am Yang Xue, thank you for saving me last night. Do you think we could meet sometime today?

"....."

However, she waited a long time, and the "husband" didn't respond to her message.

Because Qin Yu's phone had gotten wet from jumping into the sea to save her, he hadn't had the chance to replace it yet. Unlike her, a big boss who always had a spare phone.

Why wasn't he replying to her message?

What did it mean?

Did he not want to see her?

Then why, when she waited for him at the Civil Affairs Bureau to divorce a while ago, did he have a change of heart?

Yan Mingyu held her phone, gently biting her lip, feeling for the first time in her life a sense of uncertainty over a man.

"President Yan!"

Just then, Qin Yu came in, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand.

"Put it here!"

Yan Mingyu wasn't in the mood for porridge.

"President Yan, it's all over. Ichiro Sato has been arrested, and Liu Nanyan as an accomplice won't escape either!"

Seeing that Yan Mingyu seemed to be in a bad mood, Qin Yu thought she was still dwelling on the events of the previous night.

"I want you to go out!"

Yan Mingyu said impatiently.

The matter of her "husband" was making her feel upset, plus the fact that Qin Yu "didn't show up" in her most dangerous moment the night before, prompted her to lose her temper.

"Eh...."

Qin Yu felt a bit awkward, but could only helplessly leave the ward.

He instinctively reached into his pocket to check the time and realized his phone was waterlogged and wouldn't turn on.

He walked out of the hospital, found a cellphone store, and bought a new phone, also replacing his SIM card.

After he inserted his personal SIM card, the phone vibrated, signaling an influx of text messages.

Yang Xue?

A thought struck Qin Yu, had Yan Mingyu texted him?

He quickly left the cellphone store and after reading the messages, blinked a few times.

What does Yan Mingyu mean?

She wants to see her "husband"—could it be that she's coming to accept him?

With that thought in mind, Qin Yu replied using his personal number: Why do you want to see me? Is there a reason?

Beep beep...

Yan Mingyu nearly replied instantly: I think I might have misunderstood you. I want to meet and talk things through. Oh, and thank you for saving me last night!

Huh?

Qin Yu felt a surge of joy and quickly responded: You know who I am?
