Hearing Han Feng's serious voice, Han Xiao slowly ate a mouthful of porridge.

"Young Master Han?"

Han Feng looked at the man on the bed with a puzzled expression.

"You guys go first."

Han Feng was taken aback, but without asking any further questions, he left a black box behind and then went downstairs with his men to leave.

The assassin at the door was lured away.

Dou Shiliu remained silent to the side.

"What's wrong? Is our daughter scared?"

Fear? How could that be?

Han Xiao got up sometime earlier, changed her clothes, buttoned up the last button, and stared directly at Dou Shiliu.

"No"

"Oh……"

Han Xiao raised a phoenix eyebrow, a smile playing on her lips, which was quite stunning.

This man rarely smiled, but when he did, it was enough to steal Dou Shiliu's soul.

Han Xiao's eyes were suddenly covered by a warm palm.

He almost instinctively threw her over his shoulder, when he heard a woman's clear voice.

"I can't control myself when you laugh like that."

Dou Shiliu panicked and raised her hand to cover Han Xiao's delicate eyebrows and eyes.

Damn it, what time is it for me to seduce her now!

Han Xiao removed her hand, and Dou Shiliu let him take it off after he regained his cold demeanor.

"Take this and come with me."

She was given a black box

His injuries have almost healed, and he can move around a bit more now.

They walked out of the hospital through the back door with Dou Shiliu.

The assassin, who had been hiding at the back door, raised his hand and fired a shot at them.

Han Xiao quickly dodged, and Dou Shiliu appropriately opened the box and handed over a black pistol.

Han Xiao took the shot, turned around and fired a shot. The assassin dodged, buying them time to escape.

He dodged through countless streets, but couldn't shake off the assassin; gunshots rang out behind him.

Dou Shiliu wanted to know why the police hadn't arrived yet.

However, before she could figure it out, they were forced into a deserted alley.

Seeing Han Xiao struggling to carry her,

No, they'll catch up.

Dou Shiliu made a firm decision!

With a sudden release, Han Xiao turned around only to be knocked unconscious by Dou Shiliu's stick.

White Group: "???"

Such a bold move!

Dou Shiliu threw away the wooden stick, pulled Han Xiao up, stripped him of his clothes, put them on himself, and then hid him in someone's grassy garden, patting off the weeds.

Dou Shiliu turned and left

The mercenary assassins followed her.

…

The first thing Han Xiao did after waking up was to send someone to find Dou Shiliu.

His eyes were filled with cold mist, his lips were tightly pressed together, and his expression held a panic that he couldn't sense.

This woman…

Is he an idiot?

He actually managed to lure those assassins away all by himself!

The reason he was so confident in letting Han Feng and the others leave was that he was testing Dou Shiliu's intentions. He had never taken the assassins downstairs at the hospital seriously; how could the young master of the Han family be chased so badly?

Those assassins were ants to Han Xiao, but they could be deadly to Dou Shiliu, that frail woman...

The people below came in, looking at Han Xiao with boundless rage.

"Young Master Han, we haven't found Miss..."

Han Xiao was ruthless.

"Go find them! If you can't, then die!"

They were originally protecting him secretly, but they got confused by Dou Shiliu's unpredictable tactics and ended up losing track of him.

...

In a ravine, a woman covered in blood lay there, her condition unclear—whether she was dead or alive was unknown.

"Hmm..."

The pain was excruciating. Dou Shiliu struggled to stay conscious; she had been shot in the abdomen.

She bled a lot; thankfully, she had the system's skills, otherwise she would have bled to death long ago.

She just won't die; she's still experiencing the usual symptoms, and she's extremely dizzy from blood loss.

"hiss……"

Dou Shiliu forcefully tore open her clothes, quickly bandaged her lower abdomen, found a sturdy-looking piece of wood, and slowly propped himself up, his legs weak and unsteady.

"System, where am I?"

After finally shaking off the assassin, she tried to find a place to leave, but one of the vengeful ones turned back and shot her. She then rolled to this spot and collapsed.

"Anyway, we're extremely far from being cannon fodder."

The white ball was quite impressed with its host; it had gone to such lengths to lure the assassin away.

Dou Shiliu, leaning on the wooden post, limped and stooped as he left.

"Let's find a place where there are people first."

She needs to stop the bleeding now.

...

Finally, Han Xiao found the unconscious Dou Shiliu in a small, remote place and immediately transferred her to a private military hospital.

In the solemn and quiet corridor

The nurse came in with a stern face, changed the IV bag, and didn't dare to look anywhere else. After finishing, she quickly left.

She finally breathed a sigh of relief once she stepped out the door.

My God, that man was terrifying; he was freezing cold!

The nurse shook her trembling body and quickly left.

Han Xiao, sitting by the bed, kept looking down at Dou Shiliu, who was lying on the hospital bed.

Her injuries have been treated, and the doctor said she might develop a fever in the middle of the night.

He raised his hand to straighten the blanket, then touched Dou Shiliu's palm, which was receiving an IV drip; it was freezing cold.

Han Xiao frowned and wrapped her small hand in his to warm it.

Seeing that Dou Shiliu's face was completely bloodless, Han Xiao felt a pang of pain in his heart.

For some reason, when he saw her covered in blood, his blood froze.

Even though she was just a "daughter" he had no relation to, and she was dead, that was all. But just thinking about it made his heart ache terribly, a pain that went to his very bones. He didn't want her to die.

He didn't know why he cared so much about her. Maybe it was because Dou Shiliu had lured away the assassins to save him without hesitation, which shocked him, or maybe it was something else. He didn't want to think about it. He just wanted to be with her right now.
