Dragons have their reverse scales, and so do people. Luo Zheng was Lan Xue's reverse scale; if anyone provoked him, Lan Xue would retaliate without any nicety, and she would certainly show no rcy. Hearing Luo Zheng's words, Lan Xue instantly beca enraged and gestured for Ghost Hand to escort Luo Zheng to the hospital while she stayed behind to investigate the situation.
With the police car leading the way, they quickly arrived at the hospital, where dical staff was already waiting. The mont they took Luo Zheng, he was rushed into the operating room. Ghost Hand waited outside for a while until he saw Gui Fang running breathlessly towards him. He couldn't help but ask in astonishnt, "How did you get here? Who told you we were here?"
"Nobody; I've been keeping watch at the police station. When I saw the police car bringing you guys here, I followed. How's my second brother? He's okay, right?" Gui Fang explained, her gaze shifting anxiously towards the operating room doors.
Ghost Hand sharply sensed that sothing was off with his sister and asked in surprise, following her gaze before turning back to her, only to find Gui Fang impatiently exclaiming, "Why are you staring at ? What's the situation?"
"Little sister, I'm warning you seriously, don't even think about that guy from the opposing side, got it?" Ghost Hand said with a stern expression.
"What?" Gui Fang was taken aback, then realizing what he ant, her face flushed with embarrassnt as she retorted, "What are you talking about?"
"It's for the best if I'm talking nonsense; otherwise, you'll be in big trouble," Ghost Hand said solemnly.
Gui Fang, aware that Ghost Hand was acting strange, looked at him skeptically and countered, "Isn't he your brother? Didn't you always tell you wanted to introduce your brother to ? What happened? Does he have a girlfriend?"
"Yes, and they're in a life-and-death relationship, the inseparable kind," Ghost Hand said earnestly.
"I really envy such people," Gui Fang said dreamily. "Don't worry, it was just a slight crush. Thanks, brother, I won't fall for it. By the way, when are you going to introduce to a boyfriend? I'm already eighteen, an adult, and not having a boyfriend is pretty shaful, you know?"
"Enough, you're just a kid. We'll talk about it in a couple of years," Ghost Hand said sowhat speechlessly. "I don't even have a girlfriend, what's the rush for you?"
"That's true, no rush. We have plenty of ti to enjoy life. Too bad it was he who saved Song Yun instead of you. If it had been you, Song Yun would have certainly pledged her life to you. You probably don't know, but Song Yun announced in our circles that she'd marry anyone who risked their life to save hers. You know her nature, once she says sothing, she sticks to it. Now that my second brother has a girlfriend, there will be quite a show to watch."
"Watch your head, stop ssing around all the ti," Ghost Hand cursed in annoyance.
"I'm always first in scholarships, thank you very much," Gui Fang said with a gloomy face.
"Focus on your studies, don't get distracted by other things," Ghost Hand glared at Gui Fang, then turned his gaze back to the lit operating room, his face breaking into a bitter smile. Saving Song Yun had certainly set the stage for a spectacle. Suddenly thinking of sothing, he asked, "Why did Song Yang act like a mad dog, and, what did you an by saying soone stole his woman? Does he have a woman?"
"Of course, the whole circle is buzzing about it," Gui Fang got excited at the ntion of gossip. Seeing Ghost Hand's clueless expression, she realized what was happening and explained, "The elders of the Song family and the Lan family reached an understanding, planning to matchmake the Song loser with Lan Xue. Lan Xue is such a wonderful person; how could she take a fancy to that loser from the Song family? I heard she found soone on the outside, which made the Song family livid. No wonder Song Yang went crazy. Oh?"
Upon saying this, Gui Fang realized sothing was off with Ghost Hand's expression. After thinking more carefully, she exclaid in surprise, "That person couldn't be Second Brother, could it?"
"Are you looking for trouble?" Ghost Hand quickly covered Gui Fang's mouth, looked around, and fortunately saw no familiar faces. In a low voice, he said, "Stop shouting, got it?" Seeing Gui Fang blinking hard, he slowly let go of her mouth and scolded, "You say you're grown up, but you're so lacking in composure. Can't you keep so things to yourself?"
"It's not that, I─?" Gui Fang, with an excited face, pointed toward the operating room, her words a jumble.
"What are you talking about? This must stay a secret." Ghost Hand instructed solemnly. He himself was feeling turmoil inside, as many things he had not understood before suddenly beca clear, turning his complexion bitter. He began to worry for Luo Zheng, realizing the matter was a disgrace to the Song family. A family of their standing valued face and would definitely seek crazy revenge. Nevertheless, considering the Song family's unscrupulous reprisal, even hiring assassins, and almost getting himself involved, Ghost Hand's expression darkened.
"Thump thump thump!" A rapid sound ca from the other end of the corridor, the noise of high heels striking the floor. Ghost Hand turned his head and saw it was Song Yun. Wiring together what Gui Fang had just said and Song Yun's character, his face took on an odd look. It was a mix of deep-rooted enmity and life-saving grace; things were about to get interesting.
"Bro, what should we do?" Gui Fang asked in a low voice upon seeing Song Yun approaching.
"Don't say anything unnecessary." Ghost Hand cautioned in a hushed tone.
Gui Fang acknowledged with a response. Hearing Song Yun calling for her, she quickly replied. Song Yun approached quickly, glanced worriedly at the operating room, and then turned her gaze to Ghost Hand. With a puzzled face, she asked, "Who is he really, what's his problem with my brother, and can it be resolved?"
"Resolved?" As soon as Ghost Hand heard this, he understood Song Yun's feelings and gave a bitter smile. Shaking his head, he said, "I'm just as curious about your questions as you are. Maybe your brother has the answers. As for his identity, sorry, it's better if he tells you himself, don't you think?"
"All right, I've arranged for the best hospital and doctor. Once the surgery is over, he'll be transferred imdiately. Does that work for you?" Song Yun asked helplessly.
"No, I can't make any decisions for him. As I've said, you should ask him yourself, okay?" Ghost Hand replied indifferently, rejecting Song Yun's suggestion. With the situation as it was, Ghost Hand didn't dare to decide on his own, not knowing what was going on. Offending Song Yun didn't matter to him, but if he angered Second Brother or Lan Xue, his good days would be over.
Song Yun could sense Ghost Hand's aloof emotionality and beca sowhat puzzled. Looking at Ghost Hand, and seeing that he had no intention of explaining, she then turned to Gui Fang. Gui Fang gave a wry smile and said, "Don't look at ; I've only t him today. Who knows what's going on?"
"Fine, I'll stay to take care of him. No matter what, he was injured because he saved ." Song Yun's expression turned serious as she spoke earnestly, "I will go pay the fees and arrange for the best ward here."
"No need, the city bureau has already arranged everything." Ghost Hand reminded her.
"Oh? Okay." Song Yun realized that her behavior was a bit inappropriate and gave an awkward smile. Lost in thought, after a while, she said, "It's been several years since we've seen each other, right? You haven't changed much, still as sturdy as before. When did you co back? He's your comrade-in-arms, isn't he?"
Seeing Song Yun beating around the bush to gather information, Gui Fang struggled to hold back her laughter and looked at Ghost Hand. Ghost Hand replied indifferently, "Indeed, it's been many years since we've seen each other, and you haven't changed much." Seeing Lan Xue arriving in a hurry, his expression instantly soured, and he went to et her.
