"He suffered a knife wound to his abdomen, which nearly pierced his liver. The wound was deep, but it has been stitched up."

Jiang Can's heart trembled as she listened, and she subconsciously tightened her grip on Huo Zhixing's hand.

"Don't worry." Shen Xiao smiled wearily. "He won't be in any danger. But he needs to be taken to the ward for observation now... It would be best if someone stayed with him, so that I can organize a second rescue in case of any emergencies."

"Thank you for your trouble." Huo Zhixing patted him on the shoulder.

He actually felt very bad about sending Lu Lishan to Shen Xiao's place.

But there was no other way at the moment.

Sending him to a regular hospital would expose Lu Lishan's identity, and ordinary private clinics probably don't have doctors with such good medical skills.

The nurse wheeled Lu Lishan into the ward.

The man, who was usually arrogant and domineering, was now as pale as the sheets, his body wrapped in countless bandages, lying there quietly.

The fragility of life can often be felt in an instant.

Jiang Can looked at him through the glass window, overwhelmed with mixed feelings.

"I wonder when he will wake up."

Huo Zhixing gently put his arm around her shoulder.

He recalled the tense situation in the hotel; any other woman would have been terrified to see her husband carrying a blood-soaked gangster.

This little woman is clever, calm, and quick-witted. Not only does she remain composed, but she also comes up with the idea of ​​sending Lu Lishan out by changing into women's clothing.

He smiled, his gaze gentle and full of joy.

However... it was precisely because she was too clever that she saw the problem with just a sip of red ink.

Huo Zhixing's expression darkened slightly; perhaps it was time to reveal his true identity to her.

"Honey?" She tugged at his sleeve. "What are you staring at?"

"It's nothing." He said calmly. "By the way, Shen Xiao said someone is here to take care of him... I guess he's seriously injured right now, and the first thing he'll want to see when he opens his eyes is definitely not the two of us."

Jiang Can paused for a moment, then fell into quiet contemplation.

“I’m a man too, so I know what he’s thinking right now.” Huo Zhixing’s voice was magnetic and full of affection. “At times like this, what he wants to see most is the woman he loves.”

“But,” Jiang Can hesitated, “is it appropriate to let Sister Yuqing take care of him?”

"This is Dr. Shen's clinic after all. Although Dr. Shen and Sister Yuqing's relationship has not been made public, we friends all think they are a couple."

"Call Sister Yuqing over so that Dr. Shen can see her with Lu Lishan... Dr. Shen will be upset!"

Huo Zhixing paused for a moment, then smiled at her.

He admitted that she had a point, and that he had thought about these issues as well.

But it's obvious whose heart Lin Yuqing truly loves.

Since Shen Xiao can't have her, he has to face reality. It's better to be hit hard now than to get hit even harder later.

However, he still ruffled her hair and said softly, "Yes, my wife is right."

"So how do we solve this problem now?"

"Hmm..." Jiang Can thought for a moment and said, "How about the two of us take care of him first, and after he recovers from his injuries, I'll slowly explain things to Sister Yuqing, and then I'll find Sister Yuqing to come over?"

"Alright," he smiled. "I'll do whatever you say."

He used to be the one who had the final say.

After that, he did whatever his wife said.

Jiang Can went to prepare daily necessities for hospitalization, while Huo Zhixing walked into the ward alone.

At this moment, Lu Lishan had just had his dressing changed and regained consciousness, but he still looked somewhat pale as he lay in bed.

As the anesthetic wore off, the wound hurt as if the skin and flesh were being torn open.

Even though he was covered in sweat, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

Huo Zhixing frowned slightly, stood for a while, and finally took the towel and wiped his face in circles.

Lu Lishan: "..."

(Dude, you're wiping your face, not mopping the floor!)

"What's wrong?" Huo Zhixing asked, puzzled by his pained expression.

(We've already gone out of our way to wipe your face, why are you being so picky!)

"It's nothing." Lu Lishan forced a smile.

"The wound is quite deep." Huo Zhixing looked at him. "You'll need to rest for a while. Be careful not to move around too much. If the wound reopens, you'll be in for a world of hurt."

"Where is this place?"

"Shen Xiao's hospital."

"What?" Lu Lishan was so excited that he almost sat up, but accidentally aggravated his injury, making him wince in pain.

Huo Zhixing glanced at him with a sullen face.

“I can’t send you anywhere else. Shen Xiao is someone I know very well,” he said in a low voice. “He saved your life; you should thank him!”

Lu Lishan chuckled lightly, a smile playing on his lips.

"If I remember correctly..." He looked at Huo Zhixing meaningfully, "Wasn't it him who saved Third Master Huo's life?"

Huo Zhixing's expression suddenly changed, his eyes turned cold, and a ruthless look appeared between his brows.

"What did you say?"

The atmosphere in the ward suddenly froze, and the temperature seemed to drop to freezing point.

The two men stared at each other, silent like two lions about to fight, each waiting for the other to take the crucial step.

After a long silence, Lu Lishan finally spoke first: "Actually, you saved my life. You found me on the rooftop and didn't abandon me."

“I’m a gangster, not a good person, but I understand that one should be grateful for kindness.”

“I’ve known your identity for a long time.” Lu Lishan looked into his eyes, his voice lowering as he spoke each word slowly and deliberately, “You are the third young master of the Huo family…”

"Huo Zhixing!"

Huo Zhixing stared coldly at him, his fist clenching and unclenching at his side, then quietly tightening again.

Because of his injury, Lu Lishan seemed very tired from speaking so much all at once. He pursed his lips, his voice weak, but his words were clear.
