Chapter 199: Won’t Let Him Off

Gu Shen nodded and looked at Yan Xi. “It really hurts.”

“The pain will be gone soon.” Yan Xi sighed. “That’s the price you pay for not going to the hospital. Let’s see how it goes tonight. Don’t take painkillers for now.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that he was obedient now, Yan Xi couldn’t help but want to complain. “Next time you’re injured, you have to go to the hospital immediately, understand? Hospitals are well-equipped and there are no bacteria there. It’s better than staying at home.”

“Yes,” Gu Shen explained in a hoarse voice. “It’s not a serious injury.”

“What are you talking about? It’s not a serious injury?” Yan Xi snorted with displeasure. “What if the wound gets infected and exacerbated? Next time, you must go to the hospital!”

“Speak!” Yan Xi said angrily. “Do you remember? This is not a small matter!”

“I remember.” Gu Shen wanted to laugh. He had heard Yan Xi lecturing Gu Er just now. She was quite fierce.

He did not dare to provoke his wife.

Yan Xi soaked the towel again. “Your wound this time didn’t hurt your bones, so I can still help you stitch it up, but I don’t know how to treat every wound. If you get injured again in the future, you must go to the hospital.”

With that, she lowered her head and looked Gu Shen in the eyes..

Gu Shen looked at her and responded with a nod.

Yan Xi couldn’t help but ask, “Any objections?”

Gu Shen shook his head. “No.”

“Then I’ll change the water.”

After Yan Xi poured the water, she happened to see Uncle Hai rushing back. He was probably worried about Gu Shen. Seeing that Gu Shen was fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“Madam, go and rest first. Leave this to me.”

Yan Xi was about to speak when she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The sudden pain almost made her scream.

Uncle Hai could tell that something was wrong with Yan Xi’s expression. Just as he was about to say something, Yan Xi interrupted him.

“Sorry to trouble you. Just make sure you don’t touch his wound.”

“Don’t worry, Madam.”

“Then I’ll go get changed now.” After Yan Xi walked out of the door, she immediately covered her stomach.

It was already eight o’clock in the evening, and she hadn’t eaten all day. The long hours on an empty stomach, coupled with her high-strung nerves, had inevitably led to stomach cramps.

The pain became more and more intense. Yan Xi could barely walk. She leaned against the wall and clenched her fists to suppress the pain.

When the pain subsided, she stood up and walked to her room, her forehead covered in sweat.

…

In the room, Uncle Hai had already helped Gu Shen change his clothes. When he saw Gu Shen’s wound, he almost choked.

At last, his young master could feel his legs, but now his legs made him suffer again.

Uncle Hai wiped his tears and said angrily, “This must have been done by the people from the third branch. They just can’t stand to see you well.”

Gu Shen also thought so, but he had not found any evidence yet.

Uncle Hai gritted his teeth. “If it was really him who did it, I won’t let him off. Young Master, you respect him so much, but he keeps targeting you. Now, he even wants to kill you!”

“Don’t you worry. I’ll take care of this.”

Gu Shen closed his eyes and recalled the situation at that time. The underage student seemed to have come specially for his leg. The moment he approached Gu Shen, he pulled out the knife from the sleeve of his school uniform.

His companion beside him also took out his gun at the same time. The two of them worked together so well that it was obvious that they were prepared.

Gu Shen opened his eyes, revealing a murderous gaze.

Whoever the person behind it was, he wasn’t going to let them go.

While he was thinking, the door was pushed open and Yan Xi walked in. She had changed into a long-sleeved pajamas and her hair was draped over her shoulders. She was holding a cup of protein powder.

Gu Shen gestured for Uncle Hai to change his clothes and looked at Yan Xi.

“Why did you come back?”

“I made you a cup of protein powder.” Yan Xi frowned slightly. “Drink it. It can help your wound heal.”
