The black T-shirt was completely soaked in blood. Taking off the clothes was too much trouble, so she simply used a knife to cut and rip the shirt open, revealing the man's healthy, honey-colored skin.
She already knew the man had a great physique—eight-pack abs, a beautiful V-line, and a solid V-shaped waist. Compared to Su Bei before, she actually thought he was even more handsome, a strange feeling that her own child was more attractive.
However, she doesn't have time to overthink things right now.
The injury was actually better than she had imagined; the wound had almost healed, but judging from the inflammation, the bullet was still inside.
An ordinary person could never heal like this; it would take at least a day for the wounds to heal to this extent. However, she did not know that under Lu Yan's normal condition, these wounds should have healed long ago.
She removed the bullets from two wounds on his shoulder and arm, and one on his back. Luckily, she found several bottles of strong liquor there, which she used as disinfectant. After doing this, Lu Yan's wounds were basically healed, but he still had a high fever.
That could only mean that the Bai family bloodline in his body is fighting against the virus.
The system reassured her in her mind, "Host, don't worry. He is a supporting male character in this world. He wouldn't have died ten years ago, before the main plot started, unless the main god determined that the main plot could not start normally."
With the system, Xia Yixin felt a little more at ease, but she couldn't let him suffer brain damage from a high fever.
She took off her practically worn-out T-shirt. Since she had been mostly indoors and hadn't had time to go to the hotel to get her luggage, she was only wearing a coat over a T-shirt, jeans, and sneakers, with the most she might have added were winter thermal underwear.
In the early morning, the temperature dropped below zero.
She used a damp cotton cloth to wipe his forehead, chest, and palms to help him cool down physically. Even in the drafty factory, she managed to break a sweat. During this time, she didn't forget to contact Zhao Jing and learned that someone had already rescued Li Rui and Long Wu.
She guessed it must be one of Lu Yan's men.
In the latter half of the night, his fever finally subsided, and she was exhausted. She collapsed next to him and covered the two of them with a blanket she had found earlier. Fortunately, there was a thick carpet under them.
Perhaps because of the cold, she unconsciously snuggled up to him and fell asleep holding him tightly.
Just as she fell asleep, the man who should have been unconscious slowly opened his eyes. His dark eyes fixed on the little woman in his arms, filled with a deep affection that could drown a person. He pulled his arm out of hers, and amidst the little woman's uncomfortably whimpering in her sleep, he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.
In fact, he had been awake for a long time. His long-standing habit made him remain absolutely vigilant even when he was unconscious. Kissing her was entirely out of his heart, and perhaps he also had the intention of indulging himself under the pretext of being delirious from the high fever. The security cameras in that convenience store had long been hacked by the hackers in his team, so he could clearly see what she was doing.
Thinking of the scene where she made that wild man from Subei take off his clothes, although he was very proud that his woman was fearless in the face of danger, that man was a real eyesore.
He buried his face in the side of her neck, and her fragrance brought him back a long-lost peace, dispelling the resentment brought on by his nightmares.
The attack in Country D was indeed unexpected. Su Bei thought he had done everything perfectly, but in fact, after the attack, he had already found out that the person who funded that small research lab was Su Bei, and that he was the one who used the little girl.
The virus was designed to target the Bai family bloodline and hinder wound healing. It was a defective product, but it was enough to sound the alarm for him. His war with Bai Chou in China was coming to an end, and Subei had to be on guard.
However, the virus brought another thing that he couldn't explain scientifically: during this period, he fell into nightmares one after another.
While suffering from a high fever and falling into a coma, he seemed to have entered another world that was both similar and strange, becoming another Lu Yan. He sought revenge, committed murder, and established a company using RP3 and other drugs. He also encountered Su Bei, but there was no direct conflict between them. Instead, they became collaborators. Ten years later, he found that the areas he knew had become unexplorable, and the respect that everyone showed him made him feel bored.
So he imprisoned Lin Tongtong at will, in order to force out that old fox from the Lin family.
When he took the position of head of the Bai family, Old Master Lin outwardly submitted but secretly gathered power to overthrow him. He even had his granddaughter, Lin Tongtong, secretly poison him every day. That foolish woman was actually not interested in him at all.
He dared not do anything because he found it boring, like a chess player who had no opponent and finally ended his life as he wished. Of course, it was only when he was in his soul state that he realized he had always underestimated someone—Su Bei, his nominal collaborator.
Ten years later, the K Group, through unfair competition, monopolized many industries in China and made a lot of ill-gotten gains. Old Master Lin and even the entire upper class of China fled the country. Lin Tongtong also left with her good-for-nothing adopted son, Lu Xun. But it was the ordinary people who suffered, the economy was depressed, and people were living in misery.
But none of that mattered to him anymore.
In that world, he was initially a beast ensnared in darkness, mad and bloodthirsty. After gaining everything, he was like a person banished to an endless desert, lost and directionless.
He suddenly had a feeling that this should be his life trajectory, and everything now was the variable, and the starting point of the variable was her—Xia Yixin, no, perhaps he should be called "little liar".
In that world, he didn't encounter his little liar at the orphanage, but only the foolish little princess who looked at him with only mad infatuation when she grew up. He killed her and put her head in the basement, not out of infatuation, but as a memento, just like his other collections.
