The Helian family did exile Helian Min to Ancheng, but they did not authorize Helian Kang to dispose of Helian Min at will.
If one's conduct is not upright, one's conscience will naturally be guilty.
The Songwu Hall's men had overpowered his men with force, so choosing to fight back at this point would be foolish.
Helian Kang gritted his teeth in resentment: "This is our family's private matter."
Assistant Zhou's attitude was very official: "Indeed."
There's no reason for anyone to bully the Gu family's young lady on the Gu family's turf. It's okay that Xiao An is a bit arrogant; Assistant Zhou has seen it all.
He knew that now that he had introduced himself, it would be a disservice to the Gu family's status and prestige, and even more so to President Gu, if he didn't stand up for himself.
So, if we're talking about arrogance, Helian Kang couldn't be arrogant at this point.
What the hell? Where did these people come from?!
And that damn brat!
Helian Kang cursed inwardly.
However, he couldn't reveal his identity, so he could only slink away with his men.
Before leaving, he didn't forget to glare fiercely at Xiao Anman.
Don't let him find a chance, or I'll make that brat pay.
The needle marks on Helian Min's fair skin were still bleeding.
Tiny drops of blood kept oozing out, then pooling together, sliding down, and staining the white sheets red.
Xiao Anman stared at his arm, her little hand twitching as if she wanted to touch it but didn't dare.
Helian Min's expression had returned to calm.
He felt the warmth emanating from this human cub so close to him, the concern revealed in her pure eyes, and emotions he had never felt before, and he was slightly moved.
So the pale-faced boy raised his long, slender right hand and slowly approached Xiao Anman.
He took her hand and placed it on his still-bleeding hand.
His body temperature was much lower than normal, and it felt cool to the touch.
A slight surprise appeared in Xiao Anman's eyes as her neighbor's older brother took her hand.
She looked up at his handsome and refined face, and a silent feeling stirred within her young heart.
It's like a world-famous painting that has always only hung in a magnificent museum, but the moment you face it, it suddenly seems to come alive.
And she was the only one who could sense these things.
"Does it hurt, brother?"
Xiao An thought his injuries looked very painful, so she asked him in a low voice.
Helian Min shook her head: "It's nothing."
His voice was low, and when he spoke, it was like the clinking of metal and jade, or the gentle flow of a clear spring, with an indescribable, timeless, and elegant quality.
No one could tell that he was the deaf man Helian Kang had mentioned.
His pronunciation of every word was accurate, without a single mistake.
Unable to appreciate the elegance of this noble young master, Xiao Anman only thought her neighbor's brother's voice was pleasant to hear.
She was somewhat fascinated and wanted to hear Helian Min speak more.
"Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
The people from Songwu Hall had already left. Assistant Zhou noticed that the young man was indeed seriously injured and didn't look to be in good health, so out of humanitarian concern, he asked a question.
Helian Min declined his well-intentioned offer.
He released Xiao An's soft little hand, got off the hospital bed, and took some tools and medicines from the medical table next to him.
He skillfully treated his own wounds, and seemed to know all the medical instruments and medicines like the back of his hand.
What impressed Assistant Zhou was the endurance of this boy who looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.
His quick and efficient treatment of the wound made Assistant Zhou wonder if he even had a sense of pain.
He was in pain just watching it.
After treating his own wounds, Helian Min walked over to Xiao Anman's discarded plush brown bear, bent down to pick it up, dusted it off, and handed it to Xiao Anman.
"Thank you, brother."
After hugging her teddy bear, Xiao Anman's little face lit up with a beautiful smile, and her sweet, childlike voice was especially endearing.
Unfortunately, Helian Min couldn't hear, so he could only decipher what she was saying based on her lip movements.
It was only then that Assistant Zhou realized that the boy seemed to be deaf.
So when he asked me a question just now... it seemed like he was reading my lips, right, this boy?
Few people with hearing problems can do what she does: not only does she appear no different from ordinary people, but she also speaks clearly and has a truly moving voice.
When Helian Min reached the door, Xiao Anman realized that her neighbor was leaving.
She didn't want her to leave.
Clutching her teddy bear, Xiao An slid off the bed and ran up behind him, grabbing his clothes without a second thought.
Feeling the inexplicable weight on her body, Helian Min turned around and saw that it was indeed her.
"Brother~"
The little stars in her beautiful big eyes twinkled, filled with hope.
Brother, stay here.
Assistant Zhou, who hadn't yet made her presence known, thought: So jealous! The young lady is acting cute with someone else!
Helian Min didn't really have anywhere else to go in Ancheng, except for the prison cell in Yujin Bay where he was imprisoned.
Even though it's a cage, it's his only refuge now, and he's willingly locked up there.
Monsters should be kept in cages.
Her little hands gripped the hem of her clothes and shook it gently. Her rosy face showed reluctance, and even the little bear in her arms seemed a bit down.
Such a tiny little dumpling shouldn't have entered his world.
Helian Min was backlit, and her silhouette appeared even more ethereal within the halo of light.
Feeling that she might not be able to keep her brother, Xiao An simply abandoned her teddy bear and used both hands to fight.
The young lady seems to really like this young man. Assistant Zhou stroked his chin, wondering if he had lost out because of his age.
That doesn't make sense. Shouldn't a grown man like myself feel more secure than this young kid?
Or perhaps it was her looks that made her lose out?
Assistant Zhou touched his still youthful and smooth skin. Perhaps he had been too busy with work lately and looked a bit worn out. Did the young lady not like men who were too old?
After all, not everyone can be like President Gu, with an eternally handsome face that captivates countless people.
Assistant Zhou, who had inexplicably gone astray, was staring at the reflection in the glass, adjusting his glasses in deep thought.
Xiao Anman over there had already transformed into a koala and hugged Helian Min.
Unlike simple hand-to-hand contact, being intimately embraced by someone like this is something I've never experienced before.
So the young nobleman Helian Min stood there, stunned, looking at the little guy who was holding him tightly, his eyes filled with a look of astonishment that was out of character for him.
It seems impossible to leave now.
