Huo Zhixing paused for a moment, then walked to her side and said softly, "There are police outside now, it's very safe. Stay here and don't move, I'll be right back."

He had just seen that there were many people in the corridor, including not only police officers but also the people he had instructed Fang Han to send to protect Jiang Can.

Jiang Can nodded, telling him to be careful. After he left, she carefully checked the door lock and fastened the safety chain on the door.

Huo Zhixing was familiar with the hotel's layout and easily avoided the crowds, ascending to the top-floor platform through a dimly lit passage.

Just as he expected, in the dim light he saw bloodstains on the stairs.

Huo Zhixing's expression changed, and he ran up in a few steps. The bloodstains were intermittent, so he slowed his pace, cautiously looking around, and quietly reached for the small pistol at his waist.

Just then, a low cry for help suddenly rang out...

"Who?" Huo Zhixing was taken aback. He saw a figure moving in the distance, partially obscured. He followed the movement and was surprised to find Lu Lishan lying there, covered in blood!

Lu Lishan had a subordinate with him who was slightly injured. Upon seeing Huo Zhixing, the subordinate immediately adopted a posture of fighting to the death.

Huo Zhixing grabbed his wrist and knocked the dagger away!

"Ayi, come back!" Lu Lishan roared.

Huo Zhixing squatted down beside him, not too close, his eyes cold and deep, revealing a hint of suspicion.

What's going on?

Lu Lishan licked his lips with difficulty, his wounds bleeding profusely.

Huo Zhixing thought for a moment, "I'll take you to the hospital first."

"No way!" the henchman named A-Yi immediately said. "There are police inside the hotel, and those guys are definitely lying in ambush outside! If we go out now, we'll be throwing our lives away!"

"Those people?" Huo Zhixing's eyes widened in surprise.

"It's..." Ah Yi gasped for breath, "It's the former gang leader's men, they want to kill Brother Shan!"

"They arranged for Brother Shan to come here today to negotiate last night, but they broke their promise. We fell into their trap as soon as we arrived! Those scoundrels!"

Lu Lishan lay on the ground, barely alive, his face growing increasingly pale from excessive blood loss.

Huo Zhixing took a deep breath. Although he and this guy were somewhat incompatible, Lu Lishan had targeted Gu Mang, not him.

"Your name is A-Yi?" he asked in a deep voice.

Ayi was stunned and stared blankly at him.

"If you don't want anything to happen to your boss, help me drag him back first. I know a route that won't attract attention!"

...

The police and crowd in the corridor slowly dispersed, and everything returned to calm. Jiang Can was feeling a little worried when suddenly the room door slammed shut, followed by the sound of a key card unlocking the door.

She was startled at first, then realized that her husband had returned, and hurriedly went to untie the safety chain.

However, what she saw almost made her scream!

Huo Zhixing carried Lu Lishan in, quickly placed him on the bed, tore open the sheet to bandage him, and temporarily stopped the bleeding.

Jiang Can's limbs went weak, he was covered in cold sweat, and he was trembling so much that he couldn't utter a single word.

"Honey, this..."

"I can't explain that much right now," Huo Zhixing said in a low voice. "His injuries are serious; he needs to go to the hospital!"

"But how do we get him to the hospital?" Jiang Can recalled what the hotel manager had said about gangsters, and considering Lu Lishan's identity, she quickly guessed what was going on.

"Honey, we definitely can't call an ambulance, but if we take him out... things might not be safe outside, right?"

Huo Zhixing exchanged a glance with her and nodded slightly.

Ah Yi was also stunned, and couldn't help but take a few more glances at the woman.

Although Jiang Can was scared, she quickly calmed down, thought for a moment, and then turned around to take out her clothes from the wardrobe.

Huo Zhixing was taken aback, not understanding what she was going to do.

“I have an idea,” Jiang Can said softly. “Honey, quickly change him into these and make him look like a woman!”

"Then you can lead him out of the hotel without arousing suspicion!"

Huo Zhixing thought about it and decided that the most urgent task was to send Lu Lishan away. Disguising himself as a woman was indeed a method worth trying!

Jiang Can left the bedroom, and the people inside quickly finished getting ready. When she opened the door again, Lu Lishan had already changed into her clothes.

Despite her considerable height, Jiang Can's clothes were all loose-fitting and long, covering her entire body.

Jiang Can glanced at it a few times, then took out a pretty hair clip from her bag and put it on his head.

"Move your hair forward a little... to cover your face!"

This actually looks quite convincing.

Huo Zhixing had A Yi help Lu Lishan, and the two staggered out. If you didn't look closely, they looked like a couple deeply in love.

"You two go through the back entrance of the hotel. There are fewer people there, and there are no security cameras along the way, so it should be relatively safe." Huo Zhixing drew a simple map and gave them a business card.

"After you leave, go to this clinic. I'll be there shortly!"

Jiang Can was taken aback and looked at him with some surprise.

He's only been to this hotel a few times, how would he know which door has fewer people and which area has no surveillance cameras?

How could he draw a floor plan so calmly, as if he were familiar with this place as if it were his own home?

"Honey, what's wrong?"

“Oh,” Jiang Can snapped out of her daze, “It’s nothing…”

"Luckily, I brought an extra set of clothes." He took them out and gave them to her. "You should change quickly too. Let's check out of the room and leave as soon as possible."

“But in this room…” she looked at the torn sheets and bloodstains with some unease.

Huo Zhixing paused for a moment, then took out red ink from the desk drawer and pretended to spill it.

Jiang Can was even more puzzled, "Honey, how did you know there was red ink in this drawer?"

“These suites usually come with one bottle each of red, black, and blue ink, because some people only use fountain pens to write.” He answered casually, “and one bottle each of red, black, and blue ink, because some people only use ballpoint pens to write.”

"You even know this?"

Have you... stayed in a room like this before?

Huo Zhixing's heart tightened, and his expression suddenly changed.

Jiang Can licked her lips, her throat was dry, and for some reason, her heart started pounding wildly.

"Husband, you..."

"Let's hurry!" Huo Zhixing looked at her. "Lu Lishan should have already left. In his condition, he can't go to a regular hospital; he can only go through someone he knows. So we need to take him to Shen Xiao's clinic!"

Jiang Can nodded; saving lives was the priority now.

As for what just happened, perhaps I was overthinking it. Perhaps he wasn't always destitute, and that he made money to stay in such a nice place and enjoy himself?

She suppressed her doubts, changed her clothes, and quickly left with him.

Upon arriving at the clinic, Shen Xiao met them in the emergency room. When he saw that the person lying on the bed was Lu Lishan, he couldn't help but frown.

Huo Zhixing and Jiang Can were both a little worried, after all, they were rivals in love meeting.

However, Shen Xiao only glanced at it a few times before quickly organizing emergency treatment. Soon the lights above the operating room went out, and he came out, took off his sweat-drenched mask, and looked at the two of them with a complicated expression.
