Despite taking several blows, Xiao Chenglin still had to fight them.

The thugs increasingly felt they couldn't continue like this.

"Surround Xiao Chenglin. If you can kill him, I'll give you a thousand silver dollars!"

The lure of a hefty reward only intensified the murderous intent in the eyes of the thugs.

However, at that very moment, a sudden explosion nearly ruptured their eardrums!

"It's explosives! Who threw explosives!"

At the same time, a burst of flame shot into the sky, and a group of people were so frightened that they trembled.

"Weren't we told not to bring these things? Who threw the explosives?!"

The leader was furious.

The group of people were terrified by the explosives, and their movements immediately became chaotic, their previous fierceness vanishing.

"We didn't bring any, didn't we agree not to bring any!"

"Find the person who threw the explosives right now, or we'll all be wiped out here if he throws another one!"

However, at that very moment, several cars finally arrived, and a group of well-trained soldiers ran towards the group of thugs!

Seeing that things were going badly, they fled in panic.

The group of people gave chase.

Xiao Chenglin, who was almost at a disadvantage, finally managed to escape unscathed.

"Jiang Tian!"

He called her name.

Not long after, Jiang Tian appeared in front of him.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Jiang Tian walked to his side and asked expressionlessly, "How are you?"

"Did you throw the explosives just now?" Xiao Chenglin asked this question instead of worrying about his own injuries.

Jiang Tian nodded.

Where did you get those things from?

"You can buy it anywhere else if you have money."

Xiao Chenglin remained silent.

"Your injuries are quite serious, you should go home soon."

Jiang Tian reminded him.

Xiao Chenglin gave her a deep look before letting his men help him into the car.

He suppressed the news of the ambush he had suffered.

Xiao Chenglin also began to secretly recuperate.

His home is where he recuperates from his injuries.

After all, no other place is reliable.

Xiao Chenglin's subordinates would come to report to him regularly, and he would arrange the rest of his time privately.

I declined all the dinner invitations I could, and for the ones I couldn't, I made up excuses.

Xiao Chenglin's wounds were quite large, but they weren't clearly seen at night. When the doctor finally saw them, he was quite shocked.

He'll need at least a month to recover before he can see people again.

"Commander, the lady is outside. She says she wants to see you."

When Xiao Chenglin heard that it was Jiang Tian, ​​he hesitated for a moment, but still let her in.

How badly are you injured?

Jiang Tian asked him.

The two hadn't seen each other for some time since the last accident.

Xiao Chenglin glanced at Jiang Tian and slowly said, "It's nothing."

"That's good. I came to tell you that I'm preparing to open a restaurant. It shouldn't be long before I start using your name for advertising. You said you wanted to borrow my resources and your fame, so there shouldn't be any problem, right?"

Xiao Chenglin gave the woman a deep look. He had thought she had come to see him to check on his illness, but he hadn't expected it was for her own benefit.

"Do you have the start-up capital to open a restaurant?"

Xiao Chenglin asked a very crucial question.

“I didn’t have any before, but because my identity is somewhat controversial, I’ve done a few interviews recently and received some money from them, which can be considered my appearance fees. So now I have the funds to open a restaurant.”

Jiang Tian spoke openly and frankly about her sources of income, leaving no room for disdain.

"When will it open?" Xiao Chenglin asked after a moment of silence.

“I still want to follow our local customs and choose an auspicious day, so there’s no rush. But you’ve been recuperating at home recently, and I’m worried that you’ll still be recuperating at home when my hotel opens. I’d like you to help with the ribbon-cutting or something, so that the reporters will have something to write about. My restaurant’s business depends on your publicity.”

So that's where he was waiting.

Xiao Chenglin said expressionlessly, "It's a real pity you're not a businessman."

Jiang Tian clapped her hands, a smile appearing in her eyes: "You're absolutely right. I thought so too before, but my dad believes the family business should be passed down to sons, not daughters, which has held me back. Luckily, I still have my own skills, so I'm earning money with my own skills now. I hope you can support me more—so can you come?"

“If your business is in a month, maybe I’ll have a chance to go. I won’t go out for the next month. The mastermind behind this hasn’t been found yet, and I need to ensure my own safety first.”

"Also, as my wife, you should go out less during this time."

Jiang Tian readily agreed: "Don't worry, I've always been very concerned about my safety. Also, don't think of me as someone with a lot of fame. Actually, many people look down on me. They know very well that our relationship is only superficial. They would kidnap you or kill you, but they wouldn't go through the trouble of taking my life. That would be a thankless task."

Xiao Chenglin gave her a cold look: "You don't need to make yourself sound so low."

"I'm just telling the truth."

Jiang Tian's smiling face made Xiao Chenglin give up on talking to her about these random things.

He only revealed his decision: "During this period, I will assign you several people to protect you. If you go out, they will follow you at all times. Don't think of it as a constraint; they will save your life in critical moments."

"OK."

Xiao Chenglin was angered by her straightforward answer.

He didn't say anything more. He had already said all that; as long as this woman knew what was important, she wouldn't do anything reckless.

He was about to tell the woman to go back quickly and not to linger in front of him when his subordinates outside told him that Qin Xueyi had come to visit him.

Xiao Chenglin suddenly realized that during the time he was recovering from his injuries, he hadn't thought about Qin Xueyi at all.

"...You can go out first."

Xiao Chenglin said to Jiang Tian.

Jiang Tian, ​​looking like she knew everything, said, "I won't disturb your time together."

Xiao Chenglin didn't say anything.

Jiang Tian and Qin Xueyi met in the corridor.

Qin Xueyi has become much more haggard lately, and she looks pitiful.

Jiang Tian remained as usual, with no emotional fluctuations and no signs of haggardness, as if she were still doing quite well.

The two met, but neither of them spoke.

Jiang Tian didn't greet them, since their dislike for her had already been evident in their many meetings.

However, she didn't want to greet people, but Qin Xueyi didn't want to miss this opportunity easily.

She couldn't help but call out to Jiang Tian, ​​"Ms. Jiang, can we talk for a bit?"

Jiang Tian stopped, turned around and smiled at her: "What would you like to talk to me about, Miss Qin?"

"...Can we talk about Xiao Chenglin and your affairs?"

After hesitating for a while, Qin Xueyi finally revealed her truest thoughts.
