By the time Ji Fuling brought out the disinfectant, wound medicine, and other items, Ye Nanqing had already taken off his shirt and thrown it aside.

He was shirtless, leaning lazily against the headboard, his gaze fixed intently on Ji Fuling. "Then I'll trouble you."

Ji Fuling tried her best to ignore his overly sexy physique and carefully applied the medicine to him based on her previous memory.

Perhaps because it had been in the sea last time, the wound wasn't healing very well; the edges were white and it looked rather gruesome.

Fortunately, Ji Fuling already had experience, so making it again wasn't difficult.

Aside from the occasional accidental brush against the man's well-defined abs, which made her blush slightly, everything else went smoothly.

With her face slightly flushed, Ji Fuling quickly applied the medicine to Ye Nanqing and re-bandaged him.

"Okay, all done. You can get some rest now."

As she spoke, Ji Fuling put everything back into her medicine box.

Seeing her actions, Ye Nanqing's brows furrowed slightly. "Are you leaving?"

No.

Ji Fuling shook her head. "I'll leave after your fever breaks."

Leaving a patient with a high fever alone is a very dangerous thing.

Damaging your brain is a minor issue, but if you die, that would be a much bigger problem!

Upon hearing her answer, Ye Nanqing's pale lips curved into a faint smile, and he finally lay down on the bed.

Ji Fuling sat on the edge of the bed, took out her phone and sent a message to Aunt Ding, telling her that she had something to do tonight and wouldn't be going home, and that she would have to trouble Aunt Ding to take care of the three children again.

Aunt Ding replied immediately after receiving the message, saying that the three children were very well-behaved and that she didn't need to worry.

After Ji Fuling put away her phone, she turned her head and found that the man on the bed seemed to be asleep.

When he was asleep, he looked less cold and stern than usual, and his whole demeanor was much gentler.

No wonder he's the dream man of countless girls in Yuncheng; she found herself staring at him for a long time without realizing it…

The next day, around six o'clock in the morning.

Ji Fuling suddenly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she realized that she had unknowingly fallen asleep on the bed last night.

Ye Nanqing was still asleep, and his complexion looked much better than yesterday.

Ji Fuling raised her hand and gently touched his forehead.

Once she confirmed that his temperature had returned to normal, she instantly felt relieved.

"Uncle, I'm leaving now. You can sleep well. Bye-bye."

After whispering something in Ye Nanqing's ear, Ji Fuling quietly got up and left.

Normally, Ye Nanqing would have noticed the slightest noise immediately, but the medication he took last night contained sedatives, which caused him to sleep more soundly.

It wasn't until an hour later that Ye Nanqing woke up and realized that Ji Fuling was no longer there.

He sat up, preparing to get out of bed, when his sharp eyes caught sight of a small, exquisite pearl earring on the bed.

Apart from Ji Fuling, no other woman has ever entered his room.

Therefore, it's clear that Ji Fuling dropped this earring...

Twenty minutes later, the black Maybach stopped in front of the villa.

Ye Nanqing lowered the car window, looked at the window of Ji Fuling's room, and took out his phone to call her.

"Hello, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later..."

“Sorry. the subscriber you dialed can not be connected for the moment, please redial later……”

Hearing the stereotypical female voice coming from the phone, Ye Nanqing frowned.

Unable to connect?

This usually only happens when the signal is weak or the user is outside the service area.

But this is the city center, the most bustling area of ​​Yuncheng, so there's no way the signal would be bad.

In other words, Ji Fuling might not be here?

The thought flashed through his mind, and Ye Nanqing pursed his thin lips, immediately opened the door and got out of the car, striding forward to press the doorbell.

It was little Ji Tiantian who opened the door.

She peeked her little head, which had two small pigtails, through the crack in the door, blinking her bright, watery eyes as she looked outside.

Seeing Ye Nanqing standing at the door, the little girl was overjoyed and hugged his long legs, exclaiming, "Handsome Uncle!!"

Ye Nanqing's cold expression softened slightly. He bent down, picked up the little girl, and asked softly, "Is your mommy here?"

Ji Tiantian shook her head and said in her childish voice, "Tiantian was so sleepy last night that she fell asleep before Mommy came back, and she didn't see Mommy when she woke up this morning..."

"Mommy didn't come back last night, so of course you couldn't see her."

Ji Ziming, a small boy wearing a hoodie and overalls, walked over. "Grandma Ding said that Mommy seems to have something to do."

Ji Zihan, dressed in a suit and exuding a CEO-like aura, looked at the little girl being held in Ye Nanqing's arms and reminded her, "Sweetie, you should go eat breakfast, or you'll be late for school."

If I can't get through to his phone and he hasn't gone home, there's clearly something wrong.

Afraid of worrying the three children, Ye Nanqing didn't make a sound. He gently put the little girl back on the ground, patted her head, and said, "Sweetie, Uncle has to go now. I'll come back to play with you next time."

"Alright then, Sweetie's going to eat now, goodbye handsome uncle!"

Ji Tiantian obediently waved to Ye Nanqing, and then was led back into the house by her two older brothers.

Ye Nanqing turned around and went back into the car.

The moment the car door closed, his handsome face suddenly turned cold and stern, a hint of ferocity flashing in his eyes.

If anyone dares to hurt her, he will make that person wish they were dead!

As he started the car, Ye Nanqing took out his phone and called Chen Heng, ordering in a deep voice, "Immediately retrieve all the surveillance footage from the Emperor Hotel's entrances and exits, as well as along the route. I need to know Ji Fuling's whereabouts."

Hearing his boss's icy tone, Chen Heng couldn't help but shiver.

Although he didn't know what had happened, he immediately replied, "Yes, Mr. Ye, I'll take care of it right away."

...

Let's rewind to an hour ago.

As Ji Fuling left the Emperor's villa and got into her car, she was suddenly pressed against her lower back by a hard object.

She froze, instantly realizing that there was a gun pressed against her waist.

Just then, a rough, sinister male voice came from behind, "If you don't want to die, you'd better behave yourself!"

Ji Fuling took a deep breath, trying her best to remain calm.

She then glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that the person holding her hostage was a fierce-looking man.

The man had an old knife scar on his face, which ran diagonally across most of his face from the corner of his eye, making him look even more ferocious.

"What do you want? Money? Or to be someone's puppet?"

Ji Fuling spoke in a calm tone, trying not to provoke the other party, while secretly thinking about how to get out of the situation.

If the other person is holding a knife, she can fight back directly.

Unfortunately, the other party was armed with a gun, and she was afraid that before she could even make a move, she would be riddled with holes in her body!

"Enough talk! Let's go!"

The scarred man snarled, "Drive the route I told you to take. Don't try anything funny, or I'll let you taste a bullet right now!"

Feeling the gun barrel pressed closer to her waist, Ji Fuling had no choice but to start the car and drive along the route indicated by the other party.

In this situation, the only way to save your life is to first calm the other party down...
