Hearing this, Ye Yuchen patted her shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry, someone will rescue us. Don't cry."

"Stop talking nonsense! We're already here, we can't get out!"

Upon hearing the sound, Ye Yuchen and Tianxin looked over at the same time.

They then realized that there were more than just the two of them in the room.

The room was large, and apart from the large communal sleeping area not far away, there was nothing else inside.

After looking around, Ye Yuchen realized that there were at least a dozen or twenty people in the room.

Sweetheart naturally noticed it too.

Ye Yuchen fixed his gaze on the person who had just spoken. The person was a bit older than them and was wearing ordinary, somewhat dirty and messy clothes, suggesting that he had been locked up for some time.

Ye Yuchen asked, "What's your name?"

The boy glanced at Ye Yuchen and said, "Wu Kang. Wu as in martial arts, Kang as in health."

"Big brother, were you also captured?" Sweetheart stared at Wu Kang with her big, round eyes.

Wu Kang had never seen such a beautiful girl before, like a doll on a television set. He was a little embarrassed, but he nodded truthfully.

Ye Yuchen glanced around the room. "Why do you say we can't escape? Did you try to escape?"

Upon hearing this, a hint of fear flashed in Wu Kang's eyes. He nodded and said, "Yes, just a few days before we were captured, I and a few other older kids tried to escape from here. But there were just too many people guarding us. Not only did we fail to escape, but we were caught red-handed. Chang Huo took all the blame to protect us and was beaten half to death by those people before being brought back."

After he finished speaking, a man from Wukang couldn't help but shed tears.

Ye Yuchen frowned and asked, "Where is Chang Huo?"

Wu Kang wiped away his tears and pointed to the large communal sleeping area not far away.

Ye Yuchen looked in the direction he was pointing.

He didn't notice it just now, and because he's not tall enough, he didn't see it.

Now that Wu Kang has said this, I took a closer look and immediately noticed that one part of the quilt was higher than the rest.

Ye Yuchen took Tianxin's hand and walked over.

The dormitory-style bed was a bit high, and Ye Yuchen climbed up with some difficulty, just about to go and check on Chang Huo.

A sweet voice suddenly came from behind.

"Hey bro, I want to come up too."

Ye Yuchen had no choice but to stop, turn around and pull Tianxin. Wu Kang saw the two of them coming over and followed them.

Seeing this, he used his height advantage to lift Sweetheart up in one go.

After Sweetie went up, she turned to Wu Kang and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, big brother."

Wu Kang's face flushed red instantly.

He spoke haltingly, and avoided looking directly into her eyes.

"No...you're welcome."

However, Ye Yuchen did not pay attention to what was behind Wu Kang. After Tianxin came up, he immediately walked to Chang Huo's side and squatted down.

Chang Huo, who was lying down, had an abnormal flush on his face. Ye Yuchen, who had been around Gong Yixue and had been influenced by her, guessed that Chang Huo must be sick.

Ye Yuchen suddenly frowned, reached out and placed his hand on Chang Huo's forehead, then quickly withdrew it.

Then, he lifted the blanket off Chang Huo and checked him over.

Because he wasn't strong enough, he asked Wu Kang to help him turn Chang Huo over.

Lifting his clothes, he saw the festering wound on Chang Huo's back, and his already furrowed brows furrowed even more.

"The fever and coma caused by the wound infection need to be treated immediately, otherwise it could damage the brain," Ye Yuchen said calmly.

Sweetie screamed in fright upon seeing this, then covered her eyes, too afraid to look.

Wu Kang, however, was different. Looking at Chang Huo's disfigured back, he clenched his fists tightly and blamed himself, saying, "It's all my fault. If I hadn't let him run away with me, he wouldn't have been beaten up like this by those people."

"It's all my fault!" Wu Kang said sadly, tears streaming down his face.

Ye Yuchen looked at Wu Kang and said, "The most urgent thing is to get him treated as soon as possible."

Upon hearing this, Wu Kang quickly wiped away his tears and said firmly, "Okay, I'll go and talk to them right away and ask them to take Chang Huo for treatment."

After saying that, he rushed towards the door.

Ye Yuchen immediately called out to him, "Wait."

Wu Kang stopped in his tracks, turned around, and asked in confusion, "What else?"

Ye Yuchen then walked towards the bedside, "I'll go with you."

Wu Kang quickly stopped him, saying, "No. You don't know how ruthless those people are. They might not be willing to find a doctor for Chang Huo. Sending another person will only result in another person getting hurt. I can go."

If they refuse to find a doctor for Chang Huo, I'll threaten to kill myself if I have to. I owe Chang Huo my life; this is what I should do. You don't need to get involved in this mess.”

He knew very well that this trip might be a one-way trip, but he had to go; he couldn't just stand by and watch Chang Huo die.

Although the little boy in front of him didn't say that fever would kill him, he had seen many people die from fevers outside.

He knew the seriousness of the situation.

Upon hearing this, Sweetheart grabbed Ye Yuchen's arm, her eyes filled with worry.

For some reason, she always had a different kind of emotion towards this young man.

Upon hearing that the matter was dangerous, she was very reluctant for him to risk his life.

Ye Yuchen stopped, looked at Tianxin and smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine. You stay here and watch over him for me. I'll be there in a bit."

Sweetheart looked at Ye Yuchen's eyes for a long time before reluctantly letting go of his hand.

Ye Yuchen immediately jumped off the bed, quickly put on his shoes, walked to Wu Kang's side, looked up at him and said, "I'll go with you. His life is important, but yours is too. It's not worth it to trade one life for another."

Without waiting for Wu Kang's refusal, Ye Yuchen walked towards the door.

Seeing this, Wu Kang could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He then said, "Wait for me."

As the two reached the door, Ye Yuchen spoke first, "Is anyone here? Someone here has a fever and needs a doctor."

Instead of the words she wanted to hear, she heard mocking laughter coming from the doorway.

"Call a doctor? Kid, don't you understand your situation?"

“You’re prisoners, cargo about to be shipped out. We don’t have money to pay for your doctors,” another man replied mockingly.

The two people at the door were singing in unison, as if in their eyes Chang Huo's life was utterly insignificant.

Hearing what was being said outside, Wu Kang's eyes were filled with raging anger, and his hands, hanging at his sides, clenched tightly.

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle this."

After saying that, he prepared to rush past Ye Yuchen and roar towards the door.

As she passed by Ye Yuchen, he grabbed her arm and said in a deep voice, "Don't be impulsive."

Wu Kang: "I don't want to act impulsively, but Chang Huo can't afford to wait! I..."
