Wen Lu gently moved Wang Jinyu's legs, slowly getting him off the bed, trying her best to prevent him from aggravating his wounds.

After several minutes of effort, Wang Jinyu finally got off the bed. He hunched over, one hand covering his wound, and the other hand on Wen Lu's shoulder.

Wen Lu gently supported Wang Jinyu's waist and led him step by step with difficulty into the bathroom.

In the bathroom, Wen Lu looked up at Wang Jinyu, somewhat bewildered. She hesitated for a moment, then stammered, "Um... do you need me to help you hold on...?"

Upon hearing the words "support," Wang Jinyu's body stiffened instantly. He looked at Wen Lu with some helplessness, thinking that he was already in a difficult situation, and she shouldn't add fuel to the fire. Didn't she know how much power those two words carried?

At this moment, Wang Jinyu took a deep breath, gently patted Wen Lu's shoulder, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Turn around and support me. I can manage on my own."

Upon hearing Wang Jinyu's words, Wen Lu quickly turned around. She closed her eyes, listening to the voices around her, and inexplicably felt that time was passing very slowly...

After Wang Jinyu finished relieving himself, Wen Lu carefully helped him back to bed, and only then did Wen Lu breathe a sigh of relief.

But her cheeks were burning and red, and she felt that it was becoming extremely difficult to breathe.

"Um... the porridge has gotten cold. I'll go downstairs and heat it up for you."

Wen Lu didn't know how to face Wang Jinyu. She needed to find an excuse to leave and calm down, otherwise her mind would be filled with those inappropriate scenes.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. In the past, when she faced patients, she never felt that there was a gender distinction.

But now, Wang Jinyu was a man in front of her... she couldn't ignore his gender at all.

Watching Wen Lu flee in panic, Wang Jinyu lay on the bed and let out a long sigh. His heart had been pounding just now, a feeling he had never experienced before, a feeling that was both novel and expectant.

Wen Lu came downstairs and went to the kitchen to calm herself down.

After calming down, I silently scolded myself for being so spineless. He's just a man, why did I have to make myself so nervous? I really haven't seen much of the world.

It seems that she should find some male models with eight-pack abs to practice her courage in the future, otherwise she will really be laughed at to death.

Just then, Wen Lu started to miss Gu Yao. Gu Yao used to always try to take her out to broaden her horizons, but she always refused. Now, all that was left was to secretly regret it.

At this moment, Gu Yao, far away in M ​​Continent, sneezed several times. She sat wearily in her office chair, looked at the equally exhausted Qi Nian, frowned, and sighed softly.

"Tell me, if Phantom knew she was betrayed by someone she trusted, would she be so angry she'd crawl out from underground... Oh, I don't think so, she's been blown to bits, there's not even a corpse left, how could she possibly get up..."

Gu Yao couldn't help but cry when she thought of the tragic death of Mei Ying.

After confirming that Phantom was in trouble, she went to the scene to look for any trace of Phantom, but she found nothing. Even the chip inside her body had been taken away by someone, and there was no news of it at all.

Qi Nian rubbed the bridge of his nose, and upon hearing Gu Yao's words, a helpless smile appeared on his lips.

“Phantom’s parents were betrayed by their trusted subordinates. I never thought Phantom would follow the same path. But Phantom, don’t worry, I will soon send those who betrayed her to the underworld and let her deal with them.”

Hearing Qi Nian's words, Gu Yao smiled faintly. She hadn't smiled in a long time. Ever since the incident with Zhi Meiying, she had been dealing with the Shadow Alliance's affairs and investigating Institute 9 every day.

Whenever she thinks of Phantom, she can't help but cry. She really misses Phantom and longs for the time they spent surviving in the wilderness together.

Unexpectedly, the number one assassin on the leaderboard died so mysteriously.

"The phantom in the underground will definitely curse you when she sees the gift you sent. She will feel that she is already dead, and you are still not letting her have peace. She will definitely blame you for disturbing her peaceful underground life."

Hearing Gu Yao's joke, Qi Nian suddenly thought of something, stood up from his chair, and looked at Gu Yao.

“Let’s burn some paper money for her. She loves money the most. We can’t let her be penniless in the afterlife. We should let her spend money as she pleases in the afterlife, strive to become the richest person in the underworld, and then obtain a good official position so she can live a comfortable retirement.”

"She said that she didn't want to be reincarnated after she died, because living was too tiring. Now she has achieved her wish."

Qi Nian spoke with a hint of melancholy. Mei Ying was the youngest among them and the most indifferent to life and death. It seemed that no one and nothing mattered to her; the only thing she cared about was money.

He once joked that she must have been a money-grubber in her past life, otherwise why would she value money so much?

Gu Yao stood up as Qi Nian did, gave a faint reply, and then said jokingly.

"Why should we let her live such a comfortable life while leaving us with a mess of the Shadow Alliance? We'll go tell her about the Shadow Alliance right now and not let her live too comfortably down there."

As she spoke, Gu Yao pulled Qi Nian along and walked outside. That little girl was willing to leave them behind, so they would bother her until she was willing to enter her dreams. She really missed her.

Wen Lu helped Wang Jinyu finish the last bite of porridge. Wang Jinyu felt uneasy seeing Wen Lu avoiding him. He reached out and grabbed Wen Lu's wrist, gently pulling her to his side, and spoke softly.

"You said you wanted to go to school, how about I have someone arrange it for you and take you back to the capital to study? There won't be so many annoying people bothering you in the capital."

"No, I don't want to go back to the capital right now. I still have a lot of things to do and troubles to resolve. I won't feel comfortable leaving."

Wen Lu was referring to the Wen family. There were some things she hadn't figured out yet, and she didn't want them to live a peaceful life.

Besides, they haven't repaid for the original owner's life yet. Is it too easy to just let them go like this?

Looking into Wen Lu's secretive eyes, Wang Jinyu said nothing more. Since she was unwilling to leave, he would let her stay there and take good care of her.

"I will arrange for other people to come tomorrow, including a housekeeper and some cleaning and cooking staff. You cook very well, but you need to rest properly. I don't want you to work too hard."
