Chapter 98 Mud

It turned out that his name was Luo Chenxing, a nice name, unlike her third brother, whose name was the same as hers, so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary.

Her lost expression caught Gu Xiyue's eyes, and he frowned slightly.

"Is your brother not back yet?" Zhou Nuan tried to be as pleasant as possible and speak softly.

Luo Fanxing's panic flashed across her face. "Well, I, I want to go out for a walk."

Her voice was dry and hoarse. She only said one sentence and then kept silent. She just looked at Zhou Nuan expectantly, hoping that she would let her go.

Of course Zhou Nuan couldn't let her go. Although she didn't know what she wanted to do, she had a hunch that something was wrong.

She held her hand and asked her questions, looking very familiar with her, and most of the questions were about Luo Chenxing.

It wasn't that she specifically wanted to ask, but she subconsciously wanted to ask more about this man who looked very much like her third brother.

Gu Xiyue stood by and listened quietly without saying a word, his eyes becoming increasingly gloomy.

Just then, a deep voice sounded from behind, "Stars?"

Looking back, a familiar face appeared in front of Zhou Nuan. Compared to her third brother's carefree appearance, the look he gave her was one of disdain and concern, and this face was cold and distant.

This is indeed not her third brother.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chenxing looked at the three people, and then stopped at the only tall man present.

The man just stood there quietly, holding the woman beside him with his hands, with a protective attitude. He exuded a restrained yet powerful aura that could not be ignored.

He recognized this woman. He had seen her before when he was applying for a certificate at the government office. How come they were here?

Luo Chenxing frowned slightly and looked at his panicked sister, "What happened?"

"Hello, you are Fanxing's brother, right? My name is Zhou Nuan, I've met her before." Zhou Nuan explained the situation, "My wife and I came to look at the house, and we ran into Sister Fanxing by chance. She seemed to have something urgent to go out for, and she just happened to run into us."

She glanced at the scar on Luo Fanxing's wrist again, "Sister Fanxing seems to be injured."

Luo Chenxing followed her gaze and his expression changed slightly.

My little sister was trembling all over, with bloodstains on her wrists glaringly visible. She had hurt herself and wanted to run away so that he wouldn't find her. If they hadn't stopped her in time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"Fanxing, you..." A feeling of fear and anger rose up in Luo Chenxing, and he wanted to scold as soon as he opened his mouth.

But Zhou Nuan stopped him, and said in a relaxed tone, "Sister Fanxing may have hurt herself accidentally, why don't we send her to the hospital first? She can just take my car."

Luo Chenxing hesitated for a moment, then quickly made a decision, "Thank you then."

"It's okay, just passing by." Zhou Nuan replied, then she belatedly remembered the silent man behind her and turned to look at him, "Right? Gu Xiyue?"

Gu Xiyue looked at her deeply before nodding silently.

Saving lives is the most important thing, everything else can come later.

There was no time for Luo Fanxing to refuse, and they went straight to the hospital after getting in the car.

The middle-aged doctor happened to be the one who saw the patient. When he saw Zhou Nuan and the others, he thought it was just an insignificant injury, but when he saw the wound on Luo Fanxing's wrist, he reacted and hurriedly treated her.

But Luo Fanxing reacted violently, struggling silently and refusing to cooperate at all.

Just when I was worrying, He Tao's surprised voice rang in my ears, "Huh? Brother Yue and sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Looking up, I saw He Tao sitting not far away with a thick bandage on his right hand.

Gu Xiyue frowned and walked over quickly.

"He Tao, why are you here? What happened to your hand?"

He Tao pouted, a little embarrassed, "No, I just accidentally stepped on some dog shit and fell, breaking my hand."

Zhou Nuan: ...

Gu Xiyue: . . .

It was indeed He Tao, and the way he was injured was also unusual.

"Brother Yue, why are you here in the hospital? What's wrong with my sister-in-law?" It must be that my sister-in-law is not feeling well. If it were Brother Yue, he would never say a word even if he was seriously injured. As a tough guy, he would stand firm as long as he can.

"No, we sent a sister here. She was slightly injured." Zhou Nuan explained.

He Tao stretched his head to take a look. "This sister's wound is really special, just like a crack on a flower petal. Although it is not perfect, it is very beautiful. It is such a coincidence that she was injured on her left hand, and I was injured on my right hand. Together, we still have a pair of healthy hands."

He bared his teeth and spoke heartlessly. Luo Chenxing's face became even gloomier. It looked like he would have been beaten up if it wasn't for the fact that he knew Zhou Nuan.

Strangely enough, Luo Fanxing, who had been struggling violently just now, suddenly calmed down after hearing He Tao's words.

She glanced at He Tao, who was inexplicably smiling, and her eyes fell on his bandaged right hand. Then she fell silent and obediently let the doctor treat her wound.

Zhou Nuan and other two: ...

Although I didn't know what was going on, I felt relieved.

The three were rushed out of the emergency room, and Luo Chenxing's frown never relaxed during that time.

Zhou Nuan couldn't help but comfort her, "You arrived just in time, Sister Fanxing is fine."

In fact, it might be that Luo Fanxing was afraid of pain, the wound was not very deep, and the blood had already coagulated, otherwise she would have forced the person to be sent to the hospital.

Luo Chenxing's expression became better. "Thank you."

He couldn't imagine the consequences of his sister running around with injuries and not being found.

Zhou Nuan couldn't help but ask, "Fanxing...why would she hurt herself?"

How could such a young girl, who is not bad looking and seems to have a good family background, be so depressed?

Luo Chenxing pursed his lips and said nothing.

Seeing this, Gu Xiyue patted her lightly. Zhou Nuan then realized that she had crossed the line and said quickly, "I'm sorry for talking too much."

Luo Chenxing was silent for a moment. "When my sister was six years old, someone grabbed her throat tightly because of a doll. If no one had discovered it, she might have... since then, her vocal cords have been damaged, and she has always had a psychological trauma. Because of her unpleasant voice, she felt inferior and trapped. In the past two years, her mental illness has become more serious, so I brought her to Haicheng to seek medical treatment."

Zhou Nuan's heart tightened when she heard this. What kind of person could be so cruel to a six-year-old girl? She was really vicious.

"No one is held accountable?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Luo Chenxing's eyes, "No, the other party has a special background, and they are all children. They said it was not intentional and were not held accountable."

Zhou Nuan stopped talking.

Just the few words "special background" could have ended the matter silently, not to mention the other party was just a child, so she could have easily gotten herself out of it without receiving any punishment. It was just a pity for Fanxing, as she had been tormented by this matter during her growth, and she hadn't even been able to get over it.

This world is so unfair. The perpetrators are now out of the picture, while the victims are trapped by the rain and darkness, their entire lives are wet and muddy, never seeing the sun again.
