After watching for a while, Wen Rou seed to think of sothing and appeared sowhat self-conscious. She lowered her head and seed lost in thought again.
A while later.
Mu Jinyu opened the bathroom door, humming a tune as she stepped out. While toweling her damp hair, she spoke to Wen Rou with her head lowered, "I'm done bathing, you go take a shower."
"Okay," Wen Rou said, her mood now adjusted and her expression back to calm. She replied and went to her own bedroom to get a change of clothes, and then headed to the bathroom to shower.
Mu Jinyu didn't pay attention to her but finished drying her hair and took the hairdryer she had just bought to blow-dry her hair.
His hair wasn't very long, and it was mostly dry after a few minutes of blow-drying. Setting aside the hairdryer, Mu Jinyu walked to the kitchen and took out the waterlon, grapes, strawberries, and other fruits he had just bought from the refrigerator's fresh-keeping compartnt.
After washing the grapes and strawberries, Mu Jinyu tasted a few—they were quite sweet. He then picked up a kitchen knife, sliced the waterlon in half, served one half in slices on a plate, and scooped out spoonfuls from the other half for himself.
Having prepared and placed the washed and cut fruits on the coffee table in the living room, Mu Jinyu lay back on a sofa, scooping the waterlon with a spoon, indulging in the juicy treat.
He was thoroughly enjoying his waterlon when suddenly, his phone rang.
He had just bought the phone today, and only a few people knew his number—Wen Rou, Wang Zhengbiao, and Gu Xiyan, just these three people.
Mu Jinyu had been looking forward to enjoying his waterlon and hadn't thought of getting up to answer the phone, but the persistent ringing finally made him put down his waterlon with impatience, and he got up to get his phone.
Glancing at the incoming call, it was from Wang Zhengbiao.
Seeing Wang Zhengbiao's na, Mu Jinyu suddenly rembered that he had called him when he went to see the house at Seaview Garden that afternoon, but he hadn't answered at that ti.
Mu Jinyu had assud Wang was busy and couldn't pick up the phone, thinking that once he was free and saw the missed call, he would call back to ask what Mu needed.
But he hadn't expected this call to co only after 6 p.m.
With a bad feeling creeping up, Mu Jinyu hastily answered the phone.
"Hello, is this Doctor Mu?"
As soon as the call connected, a voice, cold yet laced with urgency, ca through the phone.
It wasn't Wang Zhengbiao, and it sounded vaguely familiar.
Mu Jinyu responded, "This is , who are you? Where's Ah-Biao?"
The woman urgently explained, "I'm i Yinxue, the woman you saved yesterday from the car accident. Ah-Biao is in trouble, his life is hanging by a thread. Doctor Mu, can you co to save him? I can pay whatever it costs!"
"His life is hanging by a thread?!" Mu Jinyu, who had been about to lie back down on the sofa with his phone in hand, suddenly tensed up. He straightened his back quickly, his lethargic eyes flashing a sharp look, and he asked in haste, "Where are you now? I'll be right there."
"I'm at..." Seeing Mu Jinyu agree to co, i Yinxue's tone eased with relief, and she quickly gave him her address.
"Alright, wait a mont, I'll be right there..."
Mu Jinyu finished speaking, noted the address, hung up the phone, and then went into his room to change his clothes.
In his bedroom, he frantically pulled clothes from the wardrobe to put on, all the while thinking about Wang Zhengbiao's situation.
No wonder, when I called him at noon, he didn't pick up. He must have been in danger already. Given their situation of living on the edge, he was probably being chased and hacked at that ti?
Seeing my call, he must have thought I was just a Divine Doctor, unaware of my martial arts skills, and not wanting to involve , he chose to ignore my call, planning to find a way out, settle his n, and then co to for help.
Unfortunately, he might have found a way out, but he was severely injured. Given his tough guy deanor, he probably thought he could withstand the pain and didn't want to bother over what he considered minor injuries.
After all, my favors aren't easily owed, and my fees are quite expensive.
Then, he endured until evening but ultimately couldn't hold on any longer. When he was at his limit, their Big Sister hurriedly contacted .
Mu Jinyu felt that her guess was probably very close to the truth, and even if so details were off, the general situation was likely the sa.
"Ah, why bother?" Mu Jinyu changed her clothes, shook her head slightly, and sighed, feeling that Ah-Biao was really making life harder for himself.
Although there wasn't much of a relationship between us, Ah-Biao had handled quite a few minor troubles for . If he got into trouble and called , I'd definitely go to save his life without a second thought. Thıs text ıs hosted at novel[f]ire
Not like the family mbers of the Xu family, who were always irkso. Even if they ran into trouble and asked to save them, or even if they brought the person to , I might not necessarily lift a finger to help.
That's the principle of reciprocating sincerity with sincerity.
Unfortunately, so people never understand.
Mu Jinyu put the Silver Needle into her pocket, opened the bedroom door, ready to call out to Wen Rou that she was leaving, when she saw Wen Rou had already finished bathing, dressed in pajamas, holding a hairdryer, about to dry her damp long hair.
Before Mu Jinyu could speak, Wen Rou saw that she had changed clothes, a flicker of surprise in her eyes, didn't press the hairdryer's power button, so as not to interrupt their conversation with the noise, and asked, "Are you going out?"
"Yeah, a friend is in trouble. You should just stay ho, eat so fruit, watch TV, and go to sleep early. I don't know when I'll be back, so don't wait up for ..."
Mu Jinyu didn't stop to answer, opened the bedroom door, saw Wen Rou but didn't look back as she headed to the entrance to change shoes, instructing as she did so.
"Oh, I understand. Go and co back early, and be safe," Wen Rou said softly, without asking Mu Jinyu what she was going to do.
"Got it." Mu Jinyu finished changing her shoes, opened the security door, dashed out, and with a bang, closed the door behind her.
Wen Rou watched the security door, a vague worry for Mu Jinyu in her heart. His hurried departure didn't seem like it was for a trivial matter, recalling how he defeated those thugs the night before, she guessed he might be heading out to fight.
"Sigh..." She withdrew her gaze, looking at the fruit that had been washed and cut on the coffee table, Wen Rou sighed with a sense of lancholy, unable to say much, she could only pray for Mu Jinyu's safe return.
...
Mu Jinyu hurried out, left the residence complex, and onto the main street, hailed a taxi, reported the destination, and sat in the backseat, wondering what exactly Ah-Biao's condition was, and if he could hold on until she got there to save him.
She has claid to save lives for ten million yuan, anything from late-stage cancer to an hour after the last breath – she would save a life for ten million yuan...
But that was an exaggeration. Under so circumstances, she could achieve that, but if soone's head was chopped off, or their heart was stabbed through, no matter how subli her dical skills, how could she bring them back?
One could only hope Ah-Biao's condition wasn't that severe.
Mu Jinyu sighed lightly.
