After instructing the sentinel, he tilted his head to look at Ye Jian who was still standing on the staircase with a cold look on her bright little face. Apologetically, he nodded slightly. Restraining the profound look in his eyes, he left the dormitory building at a swift pace.

In the Chunyang Grand Hotel, someone found Liao Youde at the card table and brought him to the injured man. As he cut open the clothes drenched in blood, his face turned pale. “Quick! Go to the health center to find a doctor! He’s not going to make it if he keeps bleeding!”

The pitch-black gun hole was surrounded by bloody flesh and skin. And streams of blood were oozing out from the wound as thick as a little finger of a child.

Holding a steaming hot stainless steel pot, a man walked into the room rapidly. Accompanied by a clicking noise, he locked the room from the inside. He said to the pale-faced Liao Youde, “We will be counting on you, Brother Youde!”

Placed inside the stainless-steel pot were scissors and tweezers sterilized by boiling water. Someone started to rummage for homostatic gauzes, bandages, anti-inflammatory agents and anesthetic needles from their bags.

Hearing this, Liao Youde became even paler. Panicking, he said, “No, I can’t. I’m afraid Brother Fei is fatally injured. My shallow knowledge is useless and might get him killed!”

He tilted his head. Looking at the man whose face was as pale as a piece of white paper due to excessive blood loss, he said urgently in a low voice, “Brother Fei, I definitely cannot operate on your wound! I’m heading to find Doctor Zhou in the public health center! She has dealt with gunshot wounds before!”

Despite his pale look, the man, who went by Brother Fei, still had a violent facial expression.

As he heard Liao Youde’s words, his eyes became gloomy. After shooting a warning glance at the people surrounding him, he nodded lightly to agree.

The town, which had little nighttime entertainment, was blanketed by the ink-black night. Most of the folks had turned off their lights to sleep early, while some lights in several households were still on.

Ye Jian had arrived at the township public health center. After seeing off the sentinel who had escorted her, she headed to the doctor’s office.

Just when she walked into the corridor, she heard Liao Jian’s father, Liao Youde, speaking urgently, “Doctor Zhou, hurry up. He was drunk and went climbing on the tree. But then he fell and a branch stabbed into his waist. Alas, why am I involved in this kind of mess?”

Ye Jian observed her surroundings. As she saw no one around, she withdrew silently.

As Liao Youde and Doctor Zhou were walking on the pitch-black street, she chased them from behind. Adopting the voice of An Jiaxin, she said, “Mom, where are you going so late? I’ll go with you.”

If people didn’t pay attention, they would have thought it was An Jiaxin speaking.

While chasing after them, Ye Jian inadvertently dashed passed Liao Youde, who was walking behind Doctor Zhou. Something seemed to fall into her hand. She ran over to Doctor Zhou and held her arm.

“My child. Didn’t I tell you to rest at home?” Doctor Zhou, who was in a hurry, didn’t recognize Ye Jian’s voice. Besides, An Jiaxin was indeed at home. So, she didn’t think too much of it.

Rolling his eyes, Liao Youde laughed and said, “Jiaxin, why aren’t you sleeping at this time in the evening? Liao Jian is still doing his math exercise. I know that you are good at math, can you go over with us and teach Liao Jian?”

“Sure, no problem.” Ye Jian agreed readily. The reason she chased after them was that she was concerned about Auntie Zhou.

Just when Doctor Zhou was about to criticize her ‘daughter’, the girl pulled her arm. With that action, she realized that something was wrong with the ‘daughter’ beside her.

“Auntie, I am Jiaxin’s classmate, Ye Jian,” keenly sensing that Doctor Zhou’s body had frozen a bit, Ye Jian held her arm and quickly walked a few steps. She whispered, “Something has happened. Just treat me as Jiaxin.”

No way could Ye Jian explain the situation thoroughly to her in one sentence or two, not to mention that Liao Youde was walking closely behind them. Hence, Ye Jian ended their conversation after a few words.
