After a long time, Cheng Ye has become familiar with this villa and is probably familiar with everyone there, so he is not as reserved as he was at the beginning. He even reveals some of his childish nature when Jin Yuan is not around, which is very cute.
He used to watch the surveillance video for other reasons, but now Jin Yuan just wants to see another side of Cheng Ye. He doesn't know when he can let the child show this innocence in front of him.
Because Cheng Ye always waited for Jin Yuan to come back before going to bed, he would definitely call him in advance when Jin Yuan didn't come back. That night, Jin Yuan had a report to deal with in a hurry, so he called and said he wouldn't be back.
In the evening, Cheng Ye took a shower and felt a little thirsty. He walked to the door barefoot, and then remembered that Jin Yuan said that he would punish him if he found him without shoes next time. He immediately turned back and dragged his bunny long-eared slippers.
When he reached the stairs, he heard a loud bang from below. Cheng Ye was startled and leaned on the railing to look out carefully.
A man in black clothes fell to the floor. His body was not clearly visible, but the bloodstains on the white marble floor were very clear. There was even a small section of bloodstains caused by him rubbing against the floor. Cheng Ye panicked and took two steps back. But after seeing the other person's face, he pursed his lips, tilted his head and thought carefully, as if he recognized the man.
He carefully went downstairs, squatted beside the man, poked his shoulder with his finger, and asked in a low voice: "Hey, are you Jin Yuan's men? I think I have seen you before?"
The man raised his head with difficulty, and the look he gave him was not very kind, but even a warning.
Cheng Ye was already afraid of him, and now he even sat on the ground and moved back two inches, as if this could ensure his own safety.
He said in a trembling voice: "I know you, you are someone who follows Jin Yuan. The fact that you can enter this villa means that you are his person, right?!"
He kept mumbling to himself, but he wasn't really looking for an answer, he was just trying to convince himself.
He pursed his lips and looked at the man bleeding, his pupils dilated: "You, you are bleeding? Wait a minute, I will get you medicine right away."
Cheng Ye took medicine frequently and knew where the medicine box was. He stumbled over and almost bumped into the sofa. After finally getting the medicine box, he filled a bucket of water in the bathroom. He was so clumsy that he almost bumped into himself while carrying it over.
He wet a white towel and handed it to the man: "I, I don't know where you are injured. Come on, wipe it yourself, okay? Well, you wipe yours, let me ask you, is Jinyuan okay? You are not always with him, he should be fine."
He subconsciously clasped his hands together in front of his chest and made a prayer gesture: "It must be okay. If he doesn't come back, it means he is okay."
Perhaps the man thought he was noisy, so he glared at him, then looked at the medicine box: "Fifth Master is fine."
"Oh, that's good." Cheng Ye pursed his lips and repeated it unconsciously several times. However, when he saw the man's gloomy face, he was stunned and apologized hurriedly, "I, I didn't mean that. Well, let me bandage you."
The words were spoken, but looking at the towel soaked with blood, Cheng Ye took a few steps back. He had never seen such a big scene before and was very scared. But seeing that the man was inconvenient to use one hand, he gritted his teeth and moved forward.
Although he looks clumsy, his skills are quite good.
The man looked at him in surprise.
Cheng Ye's face flushed when he looked at her, and he lowered his head in embarrassment: "I used to get injured often, but not as seriously as you. At most, I was bruised for a few days, and I didn't bleed so much. You..."
He licked the corner of his dry lips and said, "I can't do it well, so you have to make do with it for now. I don't know the doctor's phone number either. If you can see a doctor, call him yourself. If not, you can do it yourself after the bleeding stops."
The man's arm was the most seriously injured. After Cheng Ye disinfected and stopped the bleeding, he put a bandage on it. The blood flowing out was still a little scary, so he lightly tied a bow and hurriedly stood up.
"Well, I don't know what to do with the rest of the wound on your chest. You can handle it yourself. If you need my help, just call me. I'll be right next to you." After saying this, Cheng Ye stepped aside. He watched the man take action and then he felt relieved.
Cheng Ye turned around and went to the kitchen, then looked back at the blood all over the floor. He took out a bag of eight-treasure rice from the deepest part of the cupboard and saw that there were red dates, longans, wolfberries, red beans and the like inside. He picked some out and made porridge.
I cooked some light meals and looked at my phone countless times. I came across Jin Yuan's phone number more than once. My thumb lingered on the word "boss", but in the end I didn't press it.
Cheng Ye sighed and decided not to disturb him.
When the time came, Cheng Ye hurriedly served a large bowl of eight-treasure porridge, and also brought out scrambled eggs and stir-fried cabbage and tofu. He said awkwardly, "My cooking skills are not very good, but it would be bad to ask Auntie to get up now."
He looked at the blood on the ground and thought to himself that he was scared. His aunt was definitely not as brave as him, so he should not scare others.
The man saw through his implicit meaning. After all, all his thoughts were clearly written on his face. The frightened but obliged to serve expression on his face made the man a little stunned.
Cheng Ye struggled with his feet for a while: "I, I put it on the table. When you finish eating, just leave it there. I'll go up first."
Before going upstairs, he asked worriedly, "Jinyuan, is he really okay?"
The man's eyes darkened.
He didn't say anything, but his expression changed. Cheng Ye was startled and thought something had happened to Jin Yuan.
She had turned to leave when she suddenly jumped in front of him, almost grabbing his shoulder in excitement. But seeing him covered in blood, she finally didn't act recklessly and asked with restraint, "Is anything wrong?"
Without waiting for the other party's answer, Cheng Ye kept talking non-stop: "You, don't scare me, I... I don't dare to call him, for fear of delaying his work. Do you know how he is now?"
Cheng Ye was so worried that he couldn't even speak straight.
Even the old fox Jin Yuan would turn pale when he saw that he was speaking from the heart.
The man looked at him sideways, and after a long while he said, "Boss, it's okay. I'm out doing some work."
Cheng Ye breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had figured out why he was here. He probably thought Jin Yuan was here, so he came to report on his work. However, he was frightened by the man's eyes just now. He retreated to the stairs and held the handrail tightly: "I'm glad he's okay. He said he won't be back tonight. There's a phone in the living room. Remember his number, right? If not, I'll give it to you. If it's nothing serious, you can rest here. There's a small blanket in the cabinet over there. I use it when I watch TV. Take it yourself."
Cheng Ye pointed at the TV cabinet with her slender white fingers and narrowed her eyes: "You, don't tell me if you want to leave. I, I'll go upstairs and sleep..."
After he finished speaking, he jumped up the stairs like a rabbit and ran upstairs. He looked back at the man, then whooshed into the door and never came out again.
Cheng Ye entered the room, his heart still pounding. He pursed his lips and leaned against the door for a while, then suddenly rushed to the balcony, stood in front of the French window, clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly to the twinkling stars in the endless night sky: "God bless, Jin Yuan will be fine. If he is in trouble, what should I do!"
"It will definitely be fine. I was fine even when I was in such a bad state before. Jinyuan is a very blessed person. God, please give him some of my blessings. Please don't let anything happen to him."
After doing all this, Cheng Ye bent down and bowed, then he breathed a sigh of relief and lay back on the bed.
666 watched him close his eyes and said, "The one downstairs must be the subordinate who imprisoned the original owner in the end." I've seen his photo before, but this one was pale and covered in blood, so it was really hard to recognize him.
"What's his name?" 666 flipped through the information and said, "Qi Kai."
Cheng Ye hummed: "I saved his life, so I'm indebted to him. No matter what happens in the future, I won't be harmed by him."
666 sighed, "I think that person seems to be interested in you."
"..." Cheng Ye has read many novels, and many of them are about falling in love because of a favor, but he is not narcissistic, nor is he a popular person, so how can he be loved by everyone? He pouted, "Then it's quite unlucky to be favored by him. In the end, he starved to death."
He didn't even dare to look at the original owner's last photo, for fear of having a miserable nightmare.
666 thought about it and wondered if he had seen it wrong, so he stopped talking.
Maybe it was because he was shocked that Cheng Ye would come to his rescue, and also because the appearance of Big Leaf was the best. Being stunned by it didn't mean that he fell in love with Leaf. It was just overthinking it.
Looking at the steaming food on the table, the man struggled to get up, then glanced at the mess on the ground. He wanted to clean it up, but the wound on his arm didn't allow him to move. Finally, he boldly sat down at the table.
He hadn't had a drop of water from morning till now. After training, he was quite good at enduring hunger, but he was tired, hungry, and injured. The steaming hot food had an inexplicable attraction to him.
In particular, this meal was prepared by the same person just now.
He really wanted to try what the food cooked by such a soft person would taste like. Would it be sweet? It would definitely be hot, and it would make him feel so comfortable all over.
He pursed his lips and just as he picked up the chopsticks to eat, the door clicked open.
Qi Kai quickly stood up and looked towards the door vigilantly. When he saw that the person coming was Xiao Chubai, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and even his shoulders slumped.
But Xiao Chubai was obviously not as relaxed as him.
Xiao Chubai worked overtime today and came home late. He didn't expect to see Qi Kai in the villa. There was even a pool of blood on the ground. His face instantly darkened. He came up and asked directly, "Why are you here? What did you do? Why is there so much blood?!"
Could it be that Brother Jin is doing that kind of business that makes him risk his life? Impossible!
Brother Jin promised him! They must have acted on their own, they must have!
These dogs can never change their greedy habit. How many times do I have to tell them that there are some bottom lines that cannot be touched? Can't the good life we have now satisfy them? How greedy do they have to be to be willing to risk death and gamble their lives for money!
It would be fine if I went alone, but I also want to implicate Brother Jin!
Brother Jin is such a fool, can’t he just let it go and cut off all ties with them, so that it won’t be too late to start again later!
Xiao Chubai was filled with resentment, and the look he gave Qi Kai was like a knife. He wished he could pounce on him, fight with him, and throw him out!
But he couldn't. He knew Qi Kai's position beside Jin Yuan and how much Jin Yuan valued him. It was not something he could do anything about. He had to keep everything in his heart and gasped for breath!
"Something happened to me." Looking at Xiao Chubai's gloomy face, Qi Kai knew that the other party must be angry, and the other party must have guessed why he was injured. This person is not as innocent as the little white rabbit just now.
He knew that Xiao Chubai had always wanted Wu Ye to completely cut off certain industries, but it was easy to whitewash, but to completely eliminate them——
It's not that easy.
They had been operating in the gray area since the time of Xiao Chubai's father. Although Fifth Master was now focusing on the white side, they had long been out of touch with the light. This was a tacit understanding among everyone. If even the jade business was let go, where would they go? They couldn't just stay by Fifth Master's side and eat for free.
He was fine, but his brothers had offended many people and everything was a problem for them.
Xiao Chubai only knew how to distance himself from the matter and didn't care about his brothers' feelings at all. It was a waste of everyone's hard work for their family for so many years. Fortunately, it was the Fifth Master who took over now. If Xiao Chubai inherited the family business, everyone would probably rebel.
Qi Kai pondered this internally, but remained expressionless. Xiao Chubai was, after all, the Xiao family's orphan, the one Fifth Master had promised to take good care of. He should avoid conflict whenever possible, to avoid embarrassing Fifth Master.
If he had known that Fifth Master was not there, he should have gone home first and reported the progress tomorrow.
But - if he went home directly, Qi Kai glanced at the steaming food on the table. The house was cold and deserted, and he was afraid that there would be no one to bandage his wounds, wash vegetables and cook.
It was worth it to receive two white eyes from Xiao Chubai. He didn't lose any blood or flesh when he glared at me. I was used to it anyway.
"Where's my brother? He wouldn't have gone there too, right?!" Xiao Chubai was so angry that his face turned pale. He stared at Qi Kai and wished he could poke a few holes in him. If it weren't for them, Brother Jin would never have been able to keep these properties!
He said that if he lost his livelihood, his brothers would have nothing to eat!
How could there not be? Can’t you do something serious?
Xiao Chubai couldn't be angry with Jin Yuan, so he could only use these people as punching bags. He wanted to curse at them everything he had always wanted to say to Jin Yuan!
Qi Kai was also concerned about Jin Yuan's safety, but Xiao Chubai's questioning made him very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable that he didn't want to answer his questions at all. Xiao Chubai didn't seem to want his answer either, as if he felt that Qi Kai couldn't possibly tell the truth.
Qi Kai curled the corners of his lips in sarcasm, not knowing whether he was laughing at himself or at Xiao Chubai.
He really thinks he is so insignificant that he even dares to interfere with Fifth Master's decision. Fifth Master is too lazy to care. Otherwise, no matter who he is, no one would give him face even if Boss Xiao was still alive!
"You go back first!" Xiao Chubai didn't want to bring trouble here, so he waved his hand to stop Qi Kai from saying the next thing.
Qi Kai didn't have much to say. He covered the wound on his right arm with his left hand and walked out silently.
"Wait!" Neither of them noticed that Cheng Ye was standing at the stairs, watching them talk.
