It was already 8 p.m. when the two left the restaurant. A crescent moon hung in the sky, and the stars twinkled. They strolled side by side along Pier 39, which was brightly lit and bustling with activity. The hotel was just ahead.
The night breeze was gentle, but it couldn't dispel the flush on Yu Wan's cheeks.
That wasn't a simple, fleeting kiss; Tang Yue's intense emotions far exceeded her expectations, and even now her chest is still pounding violently.
At this moment, she had to admit that she harbored improper thoughts about Tang Yue.
I want him, I want to possess him.
In the short time that followed, Yu Wan had figured out many things. She narrowed her eyes. She considered herself a very territorial and possessive person, so the next step should be... to establish a relationship and completely imprint her mark on this man.
But the headache was how to give Old Man Yu an explanation, since she had made a solemn vow back then, and this self-contradiction was too embarrassing.
Unable to make sense of it all after a while, she turned to look at Tang Yue.
The man had a handsome profile with sharp features, a high nose bridge, and long, dark eyelashes. He had a gentle and refined demeanor, yet exuded an air of aloofness, causing the beautiful women along the way to frequently glance at him, but none dared to approach him to ask for his phone number.
Noticing her gaze, Tang Yue turned his head slightly, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Satisfied?"
Yu Wan felt that these words sounded familiar. She noticed the mischievous look in Tang Yue's eyes and her mind went blank. The burning heat spread to her cheeks again, and most of her romantic thoughts were instantly washed away.
She gritted her teeth and couldn't help but swear: "Satisfied my ass, she's not as good-looking as me, and her figure isn't as good either."
Tang Yue thought about it seriously for a moment, then nodded, his deliberately lowered voice sounding ambiguous and tender: "She's good-looking, and her figure is indeed good too."
"..."
This statement carries a strong implication.
Is she overthinking it, or is she just overthinking it, or is she really overthinking it?
Damn it.
How can this not make people overthink?
They were standing on a busy street. Yu Wan silently recited "law-abiding citizen" twenty times in her mind before slowly relaxing her clenched fist.
"ah……"
Suddenly, a scream came from behind.
A road bike suddenly rushed out of the crowd, seemingly due to brake failure, startling the rider who screamed in panic.
Tang Yue pulled Yu Wan around the waist and shielded her as they moved aside.
Just as the bicycle passed by, he saw the rider pull out a steel rod from his pocket and hit Yu Wan hard on the head.
"Hmm..."
Tang Yue groaned as a sharp pain shot through his right arm; it was broken. He didn't care about anything else, kicking the bicycle over, sending it crashing to the ground along with him.
"Wanwan, are you alright?" He slowly released Yu Wan, his eyes fixed on her anxiously, his voice trembling slightly. That stick had almost hit her on the head.
Yu Wan had recovered from her shock and shook her head: "I'm fine, but..."
Seeing that the assailant was about to escape, Yu Wan rushed forward and grabbed his arm without thinking twice.
Seeing that things were going badly, the man threw a punch, but missed.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yu Wan kicked him in the groin, then swept his leg to the ground, flipped him over and pinned him to the ground, and neatly dislocated both of his arms.
"Ahhh..." the man screamed in agony, the sound deafening.
Yu Wan took out her phone and dialed 911.
This scene left passersby speechless, and they all applauded and cheered for the beautiful and flamboyant Chinese girl in front of them.
"OMG, Chinese kung fu!"
This is a busy downtown area, and the police arrived quickly after receiving the report. Yu Wan made a brief statement at the scene, and with the accusations from passersby, the police successfully put the perpetrator into the police car.
[Please have Dr. Gray, an orthopedic surgeon at the New York-Presbyterian Hospital, treat Tang Yue within 20 hours. Reward: Hours. Current remaining health: 329:25:19.] The Peaceship suddenly issued this mission.
50,000 hours equals 69 months, which is 5.7 years!
Yu Wan was stunned for a moment, then her brows furrowed tightly. The system suddenly became generous, only able to say that Tang Yue's arm injury was very serious!
Twenty minutes have passed since the accident, and Tang Yue has remained silent, enduring the excruciating pain alone.
It felt like something had stabbed my heart.
Yu Wan looked at Tang Yue, her voice a little hoarse: "Go to the hospital."
-
Upon arrival at the hospital, Tang Yue's arm was already swollen. An examination confirmed a fracture; the immense impact had caused a secondary tendon rupture, further exacerbating the arm injury.
Yu Wan was stunned for a long time. A second rupture? That means he had undergone tendon repair surgery.
She left the attending physician's office and unknowingly walked into the emergency room. When she saw Tang Yue sitting on the hospital bed waiting for surgery, her mind went blank.
The attending physician told her that the surgery was not difficult, but the problem lay in the postoperative recovery, which might have a slight impact on her daily life. It was best not to use the computer for a long time, especially programming, which is extremely taxing on the arms.
During their time living together, although Tang Yue never spoke, Yu Wan knew that he was using programming to do something that might allow him to make a comeback.
But now we have to tell him to stop programming...
Yu Wan lowered her eyes.
[Idiot system, is the reason Tang Yue's arm is so important that his health is so high this mission?]
【yes. 】
Peace thought to itself: It's not just very important, it's extremely, extremely, extremely important. As a top international technical engineer, Tang Yue has been rejected by countless people who wanted to hire him with high salaries. Just his technical skills alone have prompted those people from the Z side to visit him countless times.
and.
Most importantly, he made both of our favorite games!
To ensure the host wouldn't realize the importance of the mission, the Peacecraft added: "[This mission has already reached its maximum reward value.]"
Yu Wan froze on the spot.
After a long while, the fingers hanging at his sides clenched slightly.
-
With top orthopedic surgeons from the US on-site, the risks were minimized, and Tang Yue's arm surgery was a great success.
During this time, Yu Wan learned about the criminals through the police.
This man, named Zhang Meng, is 35 years old, from Jiangcheng. He is currently widowed and has a son. His son suffers from congenital heart disease and urgently needs a large sum of money. Zhang Meng took the money to do something for someone else, with the aim of seriously injuring Yu Wan and preventing her from returning to Jiangcheng. All communication and transactions were conducted online, meaning he had no prior knowledge of the other party's information.
This was a serious matter, so Yu Wan told Yu Jianguo about it. The father and daughter discussed it and decided to turn the tables on him.
As a result, the news of Yu Wan's serious injury spread throughout Jiangcheng overnight, and Yu Jianguo suffered a stroke and was rushed to the hospital overnight. This series of events caused the stock price of the Yu Group to drop by several percentage points.
A storm is brewing.
Meanwhile, Yu Wan and Tang Yue had already quietly returned to Jiangcheng by private jet and checked into a suburban villa.
