At the critical moment, Li Zhiyi lightly reached out and pinched the bullet, which was firmly held between her fingers. Li Zhiyi was curious about what this thing was and how it could be so powerful, as her fingers were even bleeding.

Liu Dawei looked at the strange woman who had suddenly appeared in front of him with disbelief and suspicion, as if she were a monster. He racked his brains but couldn't remember who this damned woman was.

How could she possibly hold a bullet between her fingers? Clearly, the scene before him left Liu Dawei speechless.

Gu Siye, supporting his injured leg, asked with concern, "Your hand is bleeding, are you alright?" After asking, he felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In short, this woman had saved him, and his tone softened considerably.

Are you showing concern for me?

Li Zhi tilted her head and asked innocently. She really didn't know if this counted as concern. After all these years, apart from her master, she had never gone down the mountain, let alone interacted with anyone. She didn't understand how people should get along and maintain distance.

Although her master often told her some profound life lessons, she only had a superficial understanding of them. It was like casting pearls before swine.

Liu Dawei was unwilling to give up and couldn't bear to see the two of them being affectionate, as it reminded him of his wife abandoning him for the man in front of him.

Just as Liu Dawei was about to pull the trigger again, the white cat suddenly scratched his face, leaving several bloody wounds on Liu Dawei's face.

Liu Dawei winced in pain and cursed angrily, "You damned beast, how dare you scratch me! I'll skin you alive today!"

Xiao Bai looked at him as if he were an idiot!

Gu Siye naturally knew that this was her cat. He glanced at Li Zhizhi with some concern, but seeing how calm she was, he felt relieved for some reason. He had a feeling that this white cat was not simple.

As expected, Liu Dawei pointed the gun at the cat's head, but the white cat not only didn't dodge, it charged straight at him.

Liu Dawei's bullet was easily dodged by Xiaobai. Suddenly, the white cat jumped onto Liu Dawei's shoulder and scratched at his eye. It hated being called an animal! This had truly touched a nerve…

"Ah!!! My eyes!! My eyes!!!"

Liu Dawei writhed on the ground in pain, howling in agony...

"Little White, come here."

Xiao Bai glanced at him and returned to Li Zhiyi's side with dissatisfaction.

At the same time, she glanced at Gu Siye with a disdainful look.

For some reason, Gu Siye just saw disdain in the white cat's eyes.

Was he seeing things?

It's just a cat, how could it possibly have such an inexplicable look in its eyes? I must have seen wrong.

At this moment, the police cars arrived, and the leader naturally recognized this young master from Kyoto.

When the police arrived, they immediately saw that Liu Dawei was still holding a pistol, which was conclusive evidence. They went up to him, pinned him down, handcuffed him, and took him away.

Officer Li stepped forward with concern and asked, "Young Master Gu, are you alright?"

"Okay, take me to the hospital first."

Li Zhiyi turned to leave, but was stopped by someone.

"Miss, you are an eyewitness. We hope you can cooperate and come with us to the police station to make a statement."

Li Zhiyi didn't understand what taking a statement meant, and asked in confusion, "Can't we do it here?"

"Miss, we hope you will cooperate with our work."

"It's none of her business, let her go."

Officer Li rarely saw Young Master Gu speaking up for someone, especially a woman. He immediately gave Li Zhiyi a scrutinizing look. Hmm, she was quite pretty.

"Miss, you don't have to go if you don't want to..."

"I'll go with you." After her master finished speaking, she said that she needed to experience more things after going down the mountain in order to grow. Her master had told her that the police station was a place of justice, and she believed that no one would wrong her.

Gu Siye was carried onto a stretcher, and Li Zhiyi walked to his side and looked at him seriously. He thought this woman was just concerned about him.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhiyi looked at him seriously and said, "Young Master Gu, I saved you, you have to pay me."

My master said that you can make requests after you have saved someone, and usually the person you saved will be extremely grateful.

Gu Siyue looked at her as if she were an idiot. He couldn't believe she was such a shallow woman. Well, that's fine. Women who love money are easy to please. He asked with a slight smile, "How much?"

Five hundred yuan.

Gu Siye thought he had misheard. "How much? Are you sure it's five hundred yuan?" and not five million?

Li Zhi touched his hair, his eyes darting around, and he wondered if he had asked for too much. The steamed buns down the mountain were only one yuan each, and five hundred yuan could buy five hundred steamed buns. It seemed that he had been a bit too hasty. "Hmm, two hundred and fifty yuan will do!"

Officer Li chuckled. It was the first time he had ever seen someone ask for 250 yuan. What a genius!

Gu Siye couldn't help but chuckle, but his good manners allowed him to maintain his composure and not burst out laughing. He simply nodded.

In the hospital room, Gu Siye's aunt said, "Siye, are you out of your mind? You mean her white cat saved you?" A grown man can't even tame a cat? Nobody would believe that!

"Brother, think about it, how could things be such a coincidence that she just happened to arrive and save you? If you ask me, it was all her scheme."

More than one person had doubts, and they all secretly speculated that this might all be a conspiracy, with the purpose of showing that she saved Si Ye, so that the Gu family would be grateful for her life-saving grace and thus marry her.

"Alright, the police will investigate what happened. Don't speculate." Gu Siye interrupted his sister impatiently.

"Auntie, look at how my brother talks!" Gu Nianzhi pouted in dissatisfaction. Not only had her grandfather treated her badly that day, but even her brother had started to side with that woman.

"You little rascal, you're already taking Miss Li's side so quickly!"

Gu Siye was upset and didn't want to say anything more.

"I'm tired. You can go back now."

Only then did the group leave the ward in a grand procession.

After everyone left, he stopped thinking about it. Nobody knew he had gone to that construction site that day; he hadn't even told his secretary. Besides, it was such a remote place that very few people would go there. How did she know he was going to that construction site today? And how did she happen to save him?

That white cat wasn't like a normal cat either; it was very intelligent and protective of its owner. The strangest thing was that it caught a bullet with its bare hands. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it! He hid the fact that she caught the bullet with her bare hands from the police because everything about it seemed so eerie.

At the police station, no matter how the police questioned or interrogated him, Liu Dawei insisted that he had been momentarily blinded by greed and had no intention of killing anyone. He claimed that he only wanted to extort some money to spend, which led him to commit the crime.

In another interrogation room, the police officer interrogating Li Zhiyi asked even more pointed questions, repeatedly asking why Li Zhiyi had suddenly appeared in that place.

Li Zhi calmly replied, "I was just taking a stroll, officer. You should be interrogating the criminal, not me, the good Samaritan who saved someone! How can you expect me to accept this?"
