Dr. Lu carefully examined Fu Jue's back, taking two or three minutes, and concluded: "There's nothing seriously wrong with Mr. Fu's back, just a superficial injury. He'll recover in a few days. I'll apply some medicine to Mr. Fu first, and if he continues to apply the medicine for a few days, I believe he will recover quickly."

"Really? Thank you, Dr. Lu." Gu Qingqing was relieved to know that Fu Jue's condition was not serious. After all, he was injured while protecting her, and he was also her newly recognized sworn brother. It was only the second day before he got into trouble, and she felt very sad and guilty.

If only I hadn't chosen that Cantonese restaurant, maybe they would both be safe and sound now, each on their own.

but……

There's definitely something wrong with the explosion at that restaurant. Maybe someone deliberately set it up to kill her.

After Dr. Lu applied the medicine to Fu Jue's back, Assistant Yin saw Dr. Lu out.

"Mr. Fu, how are you feeling? Are you tired?" Gu Qingqing sat on the edge of his sofa and saw that he looked exhausted.

"I'm fine, Qingqing, don't worry. I'm just a little sleepy. I have a habit of taking a nap in the afternoon."

"Then let me help you back to your room to rest." She wanted to take care of him and didn't think much of it.

"Hmm." Fu Jue lowered his eyes, a slight curve appearing on his thin lips, a smug smile.

He had another intimate encounter with her; this was the first time she had entered his room.

She helped him to his feet, just as Assistant Yin returned.

"Let me do it! Miss Gu, you must be tired. Let me take care of Mr. Fu." Out of kindness, Assistant Yin was unaware that neither of them were happy.

"Ah? Well, Assistant Yin, I'm not tired. I can take good care of Master Fu." Gu Qingqing had rested for a few minutes and regained some strength.

Master Fu glanced at Assistant Yin with a cold look, disliking his talkativeness, meddling, and lack of tact.

"After going through something so big, how can you not be tired? Miss Gu, let me take you home! It's getting late." Assistant Yin meant well and wanted to take her home, but she didn't see the hint and displeasure in Fu Jue's eyes.

"I..." She felt that what Assistant Yin said made some sense, but she still wanted to stay and take care of Fu Jue.

Assistant Yin's unusual behavior displeased Fu Jue, whose voice was cold and deep: "Yin, have you investigated the restaurant explosion thoroughly?"

"Mr. Fu, I've already sent people to investigate, but there are no results yet," Assistant Yin replied truthfully.

“I suspect this explosion wasn’t an accident, but rather deliberate. The perpetrator may have been targeting Qingqing. Now that no one is home at the Gu family’s house, it’s not safe for her to go back alone.” Fu Jue’s eyes were cold and sinister. The thought that she might be injured or even killed if he wasn’t by her side filled him with hatred for the bad guys who caused the restaurant explosion.

Once he catches the bad guys, he'll make them wish they were dead.

Assistant Yin was speechless for a moment. He really didn't expect that the explosion was a deliberate act of revenge. It was only then that he understood Master Fu's purpose.

So it turns out that Master Fu wanted to keep Miss Gu, no wonder he wouldn't let me send her away or take care of him.

"Qingqing, is it alright if you stay at my house for a while? We can call your brother to come and pick you up before you go back, okay?" He wanted her to stay by his side, even if it was just for half a day or a day.

"Okay, sure." Gu Qingqing was happy to stay, not because she couldn't protect herself back at the Gu residence, but because he cared about her so much and thought of her, which warmed her heart.

"I might have offended a girl named Chen Yuli. A few days ago, she and a few others were bullying another girl in the restroom. I happened to be there and intervened, so they might have been targeting me. I heard that Chen Yuli's parents are both officials. Before I went to the restaurant, I ran into some thugs in that alley. I guess Chen Yuli's parents sent them to teach me a lesson."

The thought that Chen Yuli's parents dared to cause an explosion that would kill her in the flames still filled Gu Qingqing with fear.

She couldn't understand or forgive such a trivial matter that disregarded human life.

Once the mastermind is found, she will definitely not let them off easily.

"Qingqing, don't be afraid, I will protect you. It's just a few people, I can handle it." Fu Jue held her small hand tightly, feeling that her skin was a little cold. He thought to himself that she was just a little girl, and it was normal for her to be afraid.

He needs to pay close attention to her situation these next few days, comfort her, care for her, and offer her guidance.

"Yes, Mr. Fu, thank you." Actually, Gu Qingqing wanted to find the murderer herself, but he had to help her. After all, this matter had implicated him, and it was normal for him to be angry and want revenge.

"Mr. Fu, please rest assured, I will arrange for people to investigate the lead regarding Chen Yuli's parents right now." Assistant Yin quickly slipped away; if he stayed any longer, he was afraid he would be killed by Mr. Fu's glare.

Gu Qingqing helped Fu Jue walk, and what should have been a one or two-minute journey took them five minutes.

This was done on purpose; he pretended to be injured and very uncomfortable, even walking like an old man.

She was oblivious and didn't think there was anything wrong with him.

Finally, we arrived at his bedroom. The cool color scheme of black, white, and gray was understated yet luxurious and exceptionally beautiful. The addition of brightly colored soft furnishings, such as dark blue curtains, an orange sofa, and vibrant Western-style oil paintings, revitalized the slightly lifeless bedroom.

"Mr. Fu, your bedroom is so beautiful. I love the style." It was her first time entering his bedroom, and she seemed a little nervous and reserved.

"Really? You like this cool color scheme too?" Fu Jue was both surprised and delighted. He was really afraid that she would dislike the decoration of his bedroom.

Don't girls like pink things? Her room is clearly a pink princess room.

"I..." She felt annoyed when she thought about her pink princess room. When could she redecorate it and change it to a cool color scheme?

"I like it, I really like it." She answered truthfully, not wanting to lie.

"I didn't expect we had the same taste and vision." Fu Jue was secretly delighted as Gu Qingqing helped him to bed.

"Qingqing, can you stay? I have difficulty moving around, and if something happens... it will be troublesome to call for help." Fu Jue was lying on the bed, and when he saw that she wanted to leave, he reached out and took her small hand.

Anyway, I've already had diarrhea more than ten times today, so one more time won't make a difference. She probably won't be angry.

"I'll stay?" Gu Qingqing pointed to herself, her face showing surprise.

She hadn't expected Fu Jue to make such a request. Normally, she would have given him a good scolding for being alone with a man and a woman in a room.

Fu Jue nodded, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have made such an unreasonable request."

"Mr. Fu, I promise you, but where will I sleep?" The sofa? He's injured, so he'll definitely sleep in the bed. That means she'll have to sleep on the sofa, right? She can't possibly share a bed with him!

That's absolutely impossible!

She was willing, but he wasn't. I heard he was a severe germaphobe, so severe that he wouldn't have any contact with strangers.
