"How are you? Are you okay?" Ye Kaicheng walked to Xu Zuoyan's side, stretched out his hand and took Xu Zuoyan's hand to check. The wounds had been bandaged.

"It hurts me so much. That woman looks so gentle on the outside, but the stitches are so cruel and she keeps pricking her." Xu Zuoyan looked at Awen who had walked away with lingering fear, and then complained to Ye Kaicheng in a low voice. There was still a faint glimmer of water in the eyes, which must have been really painful.

"The slower you move during the stitches, the longer the pain will be. She did it for your own good." Ye Kaicheng touched Xu Zuoyan's head and said with a smile.

"You are just sitting and talking without hurting your back." Xu Zuoyan snorted dissatisfied, shook his head, and shook Ye Kaicheng's hand off his head.

"What? Do you regret coming to save me?" Ye Kaicheng retracted his hand with a smile, sat down on the side and asked.

"Well, I regret it. I had no intention of making such a sacrifice." Pointing to his hand, he said that if he knew he would suffer such pain, he would not take action.

"Then you have to remember. If something like this happens again, remember to run away as soon as possible. It's important to save yourself first." Ye Kaicheng educated Xu Zuoyan seriously, but when Xu Zuoyan said it, Xu Zuoyan frowned. Frowning.

"What do you mean? You look down on me, right? You want me to be a coward." Xu Zuoyan glared at Ye Kaicheng, automatically understanding that Ye Kaicheng wanted to say that he should run away and be a coward for fear of getting hurt. The feeling of being looked down upon made him He was unhappy.

Ye Kaicheng looked at Xu Zuoyan with a helpless look in his eyes, which made Xu Zuoyan feel guilty. Did he misunderstand what he meant

"We're going to spend the night here tonight, and we'll go back to City H tomorrow." Ye Kaicheng didn't intend to explain more to Xu Zuoyan, but instead told him about the itinerary. Xu Zuoyan nodded and had no objection, and wanted to go home quickly. Feel more at ease.

Turning to look at Uncle Tai who was walking towards them, Ye Kaicheng stood up, and Xu Zuoyan also stood up.

"Is Xiaoyan okay?" Uncle Tai came over. He first looked at Xu Zuoyan's injuries, and then asked with a loving look on his face.

"Well, it's nothing." Xu Zuoyan replied.

"That's good. Those who are away from home have to take care of themselves." Uncle Tai warned kindly.

"Yes, thank you, Uncle Tai." Xu Zuoyan smiled at Uncle Tai, feeling that this old man was quite kind and kind, and he didn't look like he was just hanging around in the street at all.

"Xiao Gao's side is really not that difficult, but I've already taken care of the matter for you. You guys will have a rest here tonight. If you want to go back tomorrow, I will help you make arrangements." Uncle Tai clicked. He nodded, and then turned to Ye Kaicheng.

"Excuse me, Uncle Tai." Ye Kaicheng thanked him.

"It's okay. It's a rare opportunity for me, an old man, to show off again. If your plan today really succeeds, I'll have to regret that I didn't have the chance to show off. There's really nothing I can do about it. You younger generations are all too good. This leaves us old men with nowhere to play our role." Uncle Tai waved his hands and said with regret.

Xu Zuoyan on the side was slightly confused after hearing this, and looked at Ye Kaicheng beside him.

"Uncle Tai, you are being too modest. If it weren't for you seniors supporting us and leading the way, we wouldn't have accomplished much." Ye Kaicheng smiled modestly.

"You are the only one who can talk, not like Xiao Gao's arrogant temper. Well, I think you are tired too, so I'll let A Dong take you to rest." Uncle Tai was very satisfied with Ye Kaicheng's attitude, smiled and patted Ye Kaicheng's shoulder, and then waved. Let the butler on one side take the two of them to rest.

The housekeeper A Dong arranged two adjacent guest rooms for the two of them. Ye Kaicheng stood at the door and told Xu Zuoyan that if he wanted to take a bath later, remember not to let water get on the wound. Xu Zuoyan nodded and closed the door.

Looking around curiously, the room looked unfamiliar, but after walking around for a while, Xu Zuoyan lost interest. His body still smelled of sweat, so Xu Zuoyan went in to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Xu Zuoyan went out to find Ye Kaicheng. He still had some questions in his mind that he had not yet asked clearly.

He went in without knocking on the door, and saw that not only Ye Kaicheng was in Ye Kaicheng's room, but his subordinate Lu Heng was also there. At this moment, Ye Kaicheng was naked from the waist up, with only a towel tied around his waist, sitting on the sofa, while Lu Heng was being rubbed with medicinal wine behind him.

"Is something wrong?" Ye Kaicheng asked, confused by Xu Zuoyan's sudden arrival. Seeing Xu Zuoyan looking curiously at Lu Heng behind him, he waved his hand to ask Lu Heng to stop first.

Xu Zuoyan didn't answer Ye Kaicheng and walked over. As he got closer, he saw several red and swollen stick wounds on Ye Kaicheng's back and also on his arms. Then I remembered that not only was my hand injured before, Ye Kaicheng was also hit many times by those people in order to help him. Later, I saw that there was nothing wrong with Ye Kaicheng, and he was also injured because of it. I didn't think about it for a moment, and I didn't expect it to be hurt so badly.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Xu Zuoyan said with a frown.

"It's okay, it's just a minor injury. Just massage it with medicinal wine and it'll be fine," Ye Kaicheng said.

"Then don't stop, continue." Xu Zuoyan said quickly, and he stepped aside, not disturbing the two of them, and letting Lu Heng continue.

"It's okay, don't worry, what do you want from me?" Ye Kaicheng looked indifferent.

"I'll talk about my business later, I'll just wait." Xu Zuoyan sat down on the side, saying that he would not disturb the two of them.

Seeing Xu Zuoyan like this, Ye Kaicheng said nothing more and asked Lu Heng to continue.

Xu Zuoyan watched quietly from the side with his brows furrowed. After waiting for a while, Lu Heng finally stopped and said, "Am I holding you back?"

When he said this, Lu Heng glanced at him lightly, but did not interrupt.

"No, if you hadn't shown up to help me, my end would definitely not have been as easy as it is now." Ye Kaicheng was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"Don't lie to me. I can hear what Uncle Tai said just now. It was your plan before, but it was disrupted by me, so it failed." Xu Zuoyan is not stupid. When he heard what Uncle Tai said, , recalling what happened before, you can already roughly guess it. Ye Kaicheng would be surrounded by people there. With his identity being alone at that time, it was a big doubt. Later, before he was besieged, he heard Ye Kaicheng suddenly shout "Lu Heng", which made it clear that Ye Kaicheng's men had been waiting around for a long time. It seemed that they had actually planned it for a long time, but they were disrupted by their own appearance.

"That's not entirely true. It was indeed part of the plan, but there was no guarantee that it would succeed from the beginning. Before you showed up, I had already planned to give up on that plan, and it wasn't because of you." Ye Kaicheng looked at Xu Zuoyan a little bit. With a depressed expression, he asked Lu Heng behind him to go out first. Then he stood up, walked to Xu Zuoyan, sat down and explained.

Xu Zuoyan looked suspiciously at his words and didn't believe it.

"I came here this time because something happened in my business. A batch of goods was detained, so I came here to deal with it. As you just heard from Uncle Tai, my goods were detained. The person who delivered the goods is not an easy person to negotiate with, so ordinary plans are of no use to him, so I just gave it a try. I have other plans." Ye Kaicheng comforted Xu Zuoyan.

Xu Zuoyan looked at Ye Kaicheng, seemingly trying to discern whether his words were just to comfort him.
