Once the person disappeared into the dark alleyway.

She discarded her panic, let out a sigh of relief, and looking back, said, “They’re gone, let’s go. I know of a small hotel nearby, I’ll lead you there first.’

Zhong Yuye narrowed his eyes but didn’t move.

Where on earth did this woman muster the courage to help him just now? Did she not realize that if they were discovered by the pursuers, she would die here with him today?

Rong Yan, however, hadn’t thought that far. She had merely noticed someone was after him and was oblivious to the identity of his pursuers, let alone their level of threat. Had she known, she might have decisively left him behind. She couldn’t read minds, so she had no idea what he was thinking. Seeing he didn’t react, she dropped her hand in exasperation, “Please, you don’t want to continue staying here, do you? If you want to stay, I can’t guarantee they won’t come back.”

After all, the area was only so big; if a thorough search turned up nothing, doubling back wasn’t out of the question.

By then, she wouldn’t be able to keep up the act.

A couple ‘sneaking around’ in an alley wouldn’t possibly stay put after being discovered, right?

If they did stay, anyone with a functioning brain could tell something was off.

“Are you leaving or not? If you’re not, I’m going,” Rong Yan was not a particularly patient person, and after asking twice to no response, she turned and walked away.

She thought Zhong Yuye wouldn’t follow, but to her surprise, as soon as she left, the silent man actually followed.

He should have followed her right away instead of playing mute!

Rong Yan rolled her eyes internally and led him to a small hotel she had stayed in once before.

After paying, she got the key from the landlady and took him upstairs.

Upon opening the door, she quickly found a cup and went to the water dispenser to fill it for the man behind her. Handing it to him, she said, “You can relax, aside from the locals, no one knows there’s a home-style hotel like this in the neighborhood. It’s absolutely safe, you can stay here with peace of mind. ”

Zhong Yuye looked at her, took the cup she handed him, took a sip, and quietly said, “Thanks.”

He hadn’t expected to encounter Rong Yan here, nor did he imagine that she would step in to help him.

If he hadn’t run into her today, he might have found himself in a fierce battle back in that alley!

Rong Yan took the cup back and didn’t respond to his thanks, “You helped me out once, now I’ve helped you. We’re even.”

Glancing at her wristwatch, then at the pale-faced man on the sofa, she realized she was short on time to pick up Little Baby. It didn’t seem right to leave Zhong Yuye here alone. Rong Yan spoke with a hint of frustration, “Take off your clothes, let me see where you’re hurt and what the situation is like.” Take off your clothes!

For the first time, Zhong Yuye heard a woman make such a request to him and gave her a surprised look.

Rong Yan raised her hands in defense, “Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any inappropriate ideas about you. I have a boyfriend.”

“I’m just asking you to take off your clothes so I can see the extent of your injury, to know if you need to go to the hospital right now. If it’s not necessary, I can help you treat the wound simply at least.”

She was trained in medicine and could handle basic treatment, but anything complex like surgery was out of question without a license.

If Zhong Yuye wasn’t afraid of dying, she could take on the role of surgeon. If he was… well, then forget about it!

“There’s no need.”

“Are you sure you don’t need it?” Rong Yan noticed his breathing was off but it wasn’t her business. She picked up her purse, confirming once more, “If you’re sure, I’m going to leave..”
