The restaurant was in a mess, with tables and chairs lying on the ground, broken tableware scattered everywhere, and the air was filled with tension and fear.

Pei Xiao glanced at the injured area and said lightly: "I'm fine, I just scratched the skin."

Zhou Yanchen saw Shen Qingli looking at Pei Xiao with concern on his face. Her gentle eyes and anxious look were like a sharp knife that pierced straight into his heart, and his heart suddenly ached.

He subconsciously looked at the back of his hand, where there was also a wound. The wound was quite deep, but it seemed to remind him of his loneliness, but she didn't notice it at all.

The boy who had just been kicked to the ground by Zhou Yanchen was lying on the ground in a wolf-like state, with unwillingness and madness hidden in his eyes.

He saw the dagger dropped not far away, his eyes flashed with determination, he quickly crawled over and picked it up again, shouting viciously: "Shen Qingli, you go to hell!"

Zhou Yanchen reacted very quickly. He took a step forward and kicked the dagger out of his hand.

Due to the powerful impact, the boy fell heavily to the ground again, groaning in pain.

When he was still struggling to get up, two policemen rushed over, pushed him to the ground, handcuffed him skillfully, and shouted sternly: "Don't move."

At this time, the surrounding chaos gradually subsided.

The police were well-trained and quickly took control of the situation and subdued the fleeing criminals one by one.

The restaurant gradually became quiet, with only the heavy breathing of the people and the occasional low moans, as if telling the thrilling conflict that had just taken place.

The leading policeman came up to Shen Qingli and the others and said calmly, "Please come with me to the police station to take a statement."

Zhou Yanchen glanced at Shen Qingli, who was still in shock. Her face was pale and there was still fear in her eyes. He was not sure if she was injured, so he said:

"Someone here is injured. We need to go to the hospital to treat the wound before we can take a statement."

Hearing this, the police nodded repeatedly and asked concernedly, "Is the injury serious?"

Zhou Yanchen glanced at Pei Xiao's arm, where the wound was still bleeding. "It's not serious, but it needs to be treated."

"Okay, Mr. Zhou, please contact me later."

After the group of people were taken away by the police, Zhou Yanchen left Chang You to clean up the mess.

Several of them hurried to the hospital.

As soon as Zhou Yanchen parked the car at the gate of the hospital, Shen Qingli couldn't wait to open the door and get out of the car, his voice full of anxiety: "Brother Pei, I'll take you to bandage the wound."

"Doctor Shen, you don't have to be so nervous. I'm fine, just a minor injury." Pei Xiao tried to comfort her with a gentle smile on his face.

"There's so much blood, we need to treat it quickly to prevent the wound from getting infected."

Zhou Yanchen, who was sitting in the car, looked at their receding backs, feeling mixed emotions in his heart, and his eyes darkened.

After so long, she didn't even notice the injury on his hand. Was Pei Xiao the only one in her eyes?

Shen Qingli took Pei Xiao to the emergency room, and the doctor quickly took him in to bandage his wounds.

Pei Yike and Chu Xiaoyu went to the police station to take statements. At this time, Shen Qingli was sitting alone in the empty corridor.

The hospital corridor was filled with the smell of disinfectant, the lighting was dim, and Shen Qingli's figure looked particularly lonely and desolate.

Zhou Yanchen came to see her after bandaging his wound.

Seeing her like that, his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand and his eyes were filled with pain.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and walked towards her.

A pair of leather shoes appeared in Shen Qingli's sight, and she slowly raised her eyes to look.

Seeing that it was Zhou Yanchen, she was silent for a moment and said softly, "Thank you." Her voice was very light, with a hint of alienation.

Zhou Yanchen felt so distressed when he heard these two indifferent words. He raised a bitter smile and said, "You're welcome."

He sat down next to her and subconsciously hid his injured hand in his suit pocket, not wanting her to think that he was trying to gain her sympathy again.

"I'm sorry to have implicated you again." Zhou Yanchen said in a deep voice.

Shen Qingli was still frightened by the scene in the restaurant. She did not speak immediately. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "Zhou Yanchen, can you stay away from me?"

Before she finished her words, Shen Qingli saw Pei Xiao coming out. Her eyes lit up instantly and she quickly stood up and walked towards him.

The anxiety on her face was not fake, and every subtle expression was filled with concern for Pei Xiao. This scene deeply hurt Zhou Yanchen's heart.

Shen Qingli's words reached Zhou Yanchen's ears: "Brother Pei, how is the wound? Does it hurt?"

"Doctor Shen, I'm fine. It's just a minor injury."

The conversation between them was undoubtedly another stab in Zhou Yanchen's already aching heart.

While Pei Xiao was talking to Shen Qingli, he saw Zhou Yanchen standing not far away. He nodded slightly as a courtesy.

At this time, the doctor took out the list and Shen Qingli took it to get the medicine.

Zhou Yanchen and Pei Xiao were the only ones left in the corridor.

Pei Xiao walked up to him and asked politely, "Mr. Zhou, are you not injured?"

"No, are you seriously injured?" Zhou Yanchen replied with a hint of courtesy in his tone.

"It's not serious, just a little scratch." Pei Xiao smiled. The atmosphere between the two was so awkward that Pei Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

After a while, Zhou Yanchen found an excuse to leave.

After taking the medicine, Shen Qingli turned around and saw Zhou Yanchen standing not far away. She was stunned for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.

She came up to him and said calmly, "Thank you for sending us to the hospital. Now everything is fine and you can go."

When Zhou Yanchen saw her like this, a hint of red appeared in his eyes. Without saying a word, he pulled Shen Qingli to the corridor beside.

"Zhou Yanchen, what's wrong with you? Let me go."

"Pei Xiao, please wait for me." Shen Qingli struggled, with a hint of anger in his voice.

This sentence completely angered Zhou Yanchen. He took Shen Qingli to a corner without a view, imprisoned her in his arms, and said with a trembling and aggrieved voice: "Shen Qingli, is Pei Xiao the only one in your eyes?"

Shen Qingli caught a glimpse of his hands leaning against the wall with gauze wrapped around them, and the gauze was becoming increasingly red.

Only then did she realize that he was also injured!

But at this moment, Zhou Yanchen was stimulated by Shen Qingli's concern for Pei Xiao, and his emotions became a little excited. "Why do you care about him so much?"

"It's not like he'll die from those injuries."

When Shen Qingli heard this, the ripples that had just risen in her heart disappeared in an instant.

She retorted angrily: "He saved me, shouldn't I care about my family?"

"Zhou Yanchen, if it weren't for you, none of this would have happened."

"I'm exhausted from work every day, and I still have to deal with this. I'm really annoyed."

"So, please stay away from me from now on."
