The apartment!
The bedroom door opened, and Xiao Yurou walked out with a medicine box.
"Mr. Ye, this lady's wounds have all been treated, and I've given her some antibiotics. She's out of danger now!"
After speaking, Xiao Yurou sighed, "However, her injuries are too severe. I suggest you take her to the hospital for a check-up."
"Let's wait until she wakes up. Thank you for making the trip, Miss Xiao!" Ye Cangtian said with a smile.
Upon seeing Gu Yue severely injured on his balcony, Ye Cangtian immediately called Xiao Yurou to come and treat her.
After all, Gu Yue was an assassin, and with so many unknown knife wounds, it was impossible to send her to the hospital. Even if they saved her, it would cause unnecessary trouble.
"It's no trouble at all. We're all friends, so this is the least I can do!"
Xiao Yurou pushed a strand of hair from her forehead and asked curiously, "May I ask, who is this lady to you, Mr. Ye? And how did she get these injuries..."
"She's a friend of mine. I'm not too sure how she got injured. She was already like this when she arrived at my place!" Ye Cangtian said, though he suspected Gu Yue might have gotten into trouble and was being pursued by a powerful individual.
However, this girl was quite strong, so whoever injured her must be no ordinary person.
Xiao Yurou's eyes held a hint of curiosity, but she didn't ask further. She said, "Then I'll be heading back to the hospital now. If you need anything, Mr. Ye, feel free to call me."
Ye Cangtian nodded and suddenly said, "Miss Xiao, please keep my friend's situation confidential, even from Xin Wan."
Xiao Yurou smiled, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone!"
She was actually quite curious. This woman was young and very beautiful, but she had over a dozen knife wounds, some of which were very severe, causing significant blood loss.
An ordinary girl would have succumbed to such injuries long ago, but this woman had quickly recovered from danger.
Of course, she was even more curious. Ye Cangtian was Xin Wan's fiancé, and now another young, injured woman appeared. Was this woman truly just a friend?
After Xiao Yurou left, Ye Cangtian sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
He had originally planned to return the apartment and move in with Tang Xin Wan! Now, with Gu Yue's appearance, he was unsure how to proceed.
He sighed and muttered, "You're lucky. After chasing me for so long, I'm the one who ended up saving you!"
...
As dusk fell, Gu Yue woke up from her coma.
She opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling, realizing she was lying in a bed covered by a quilt.
She tried to recall what had happened, and her mind quickly became tense. She remembered being pursued before she lost consciousness. Had she been captured again?
She lifted the quilt and was about to get up when a sharp pain made her let out a muffled groan, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.
"You're so badly injured, just lie down properly. What are you moving around for?" a voice suddenly came from nearby.
Gu Yue's expression changed, and she turned to look, her eyes widening in surprise.
"It's you! Where... where is this?"
"This is my home! You've been here several times, can't you tell?" Ye Cangtian said, leaning against the door with his arms crossed.
Gu Yue then looked around and realized this was indeed Ye Cangtian's residence. No wonder the bed and quilt felt so familiar when she woke up.
She asked coldly, with a hint of confusion, "Why am I at your place?"
Ye Cangtian chuckled, "Hey, shouldn't I be asking you that? I came back early this morning and found you lying on my balcony. Are you trying to scam me?"
"..." Gu Yue was speechless. She really couldn't remember.
She only recalled being chased the previous night. She could only escape desperately. Due to her severe injuries, her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, and she eventually navigated by fragmented memories.
She lowered her head and gave a bitter smile, realizing that in such a state, she had instinctively fled to this guy's place.
As she lowered her head in thought, Gu Yue's eyes suddenly widened, and her face instantly turned pale. She looked up, gritting her teeth at Ye Cangtian, "What did you do to me?"
She then noticed she wasn't wearing her own clothes but a loose men's shirt, and her pants had been changed too.
As far as she knew, Ye Cangtian was the only one living here.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you. My friend changed your clothes for you!"
"Also, she's a doctor, and she treated your injuries. Those bandages were also put on by her! I wasn't involved at all, alright?"
"And don't ask me if my friend is male or female. She's female!"
Ye Cangtian spread his hands helplessly and then muttered, "It's not like I haven't seen it before, why are you so tense!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue breathed a sigh of relief, but hearing the latter part almost made her jump up in embarrassment and anger.
However, after taking a few deep breaths, she calmed down and asked with a complex expression, "Why did you save me?"
After all, they were enemies! She had hunted him for a year, so she couldn't understand why he would save her.
"I'd like to know that too! If you were lying outside, I might not have cared, but you were lying in my home. If you died, how would I explain to the police?" Ye Cangtian rolled his eyes.
Gu Yue felt awkward. After a long pause, she said, "Thank you!"
After saying that, she tried to get up and leave, but due to her severe injuries, the moment she sat up, her face turned pale with pain.
"Where are you going?" Ye Cangtian asked.
"I don't want to cause you any trouble!" Gu Yue tried several times but couldn't get out of bed. Instead, the movement aggravated her wounds, making them worse.
"Lie down!"
Ye Cangtian said sternly, "With such serious injuries, where can you possibly go?"
Chided, Gu Yue stopped, but she pouted with a stubborn expression.
Ye Cangtian took a deep breath and said, "Just stay here and recover until you're healed before leaving. I won't stop you. If you're worried I'll do anything to you, there's no need to be. I don't live here anymore."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yue no longer insisted on leaving.
"There's a bowl of chicken soup on the bedside table, freshly made. Drink it while it's hot. The medicine prescribed by my doctor friend is in the drawer, remember to take it on time!"
"Here's some Bu Lao Gen. Eat a couple of bites when you have nothing to do, and you'll be bouncing around in a few days!"
After giving the instructions, Ye Cangtian put on a stern face and muttered, "Don't judge it by its ugly appearance. This little bit is worth three to five hundred million. Consider yourself lucky!"
Bu Lao Gen, he naturally had more than just the one he gave to Old Master Tang. The Bu Lao Gen he handed to Gu Yue was relatively smaller, but it was still extremely precious.
If the wealthy knew about it, they would probably go completely mad.
Of course, while Bu Lao Gen was a treasure in the eyes of others, it was nothing in Ye Cangtian's eyes, so he waved his hand and said, "Alright, I'll be going then. I'll come back tomorrow to bring you meals!"
Gu Yue watched him leave, and only after hearing the sound of the door closing in the living room did she let out a soft sigh.
Ultimately, she didn't want to leave with her injuries! Those pursuing her were probably still searching the city for her. If she were discovered, she wouldn't be able to escape.
She looked at the bedside table where her friend had placed a bowl of steaming chicken soup, and the 'Bu Lao Gen' that Ye Cangtian had just placed there.
"Three to five hundred million? What a braggart! I would never eat such an ugly tree root!"
