Chapter 957: Chapter 955 Happy Qixi Valentine’s Day (1)

Zhang Te’s assistant instinctively hit the brakes, staring at the lit lights inside the old villa for quite a while before he pulled his gaze back.

What was going on with him? Why had he ended up here?

Zhang Te’s assistant always felt that something was not quite right with himself, but he couldn’t figure out exactly what it was.

He stared at the steering wheel, lost in thought for a while, then finally gripped the wheel again and stepped on the gas pedal.

However, before the car could move, he saw, through the rearview mirror, a small figure crouching in a dark corner by the side of the road not far away.

That figure... he knew very well, it was the young miss.

Zhang Te’s assistant, without even a moment’s hesitation, turned off the ignition, pushed open the car door, and dashed towards Han Yixiao.

It wasn’t until he reached Han Yixiao, who was crying, that she noticed someone approaching and looked up at him with tear-stained eyes. He suddenly realized that, unconsciously, he’d run up to the young miss.

Han Yixiao, apparently not expecting to encounter an acquaintance on such a road, where vehicles seldom passed, especially at the dead of night, showed a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Zhang Te’s assistant gazed into Han Yixiao’s eyes for a good while before finally coming up with an excuse, "Young miss, I just happened to be passing by and saw someone in the mirror who looked like you. I didn’t expect it to really be you..."

He paused, then added, "By the way, young miss, it’s so late, why are you out here alone and crying... Did you, did you run into some trouble?"

Han Yixiao couldn’t speak, and after hearing Zhang Te’s assistant’s words, she first shook her head, then hurriedly reached out to wipe the tears from her face.

Han Yixiao was wearing a long-sleeved shirt and pants, completely covering her body, making it impossible to see the traces of whipping.

Even though Zhang Te’s assistant was in the know, he couldn’t just ask; he could only stand stiffly in front of Han Yixiao, not knowing how much time had passed before Han Yixiao gestured several times and then stood up, pointing towards the old villa behind her.

Zhang Te’s assistant knew that she was telling him she wanted to go home...

Subconsciously, Zhang Te’s assistant wanted to call Han Yixiao back, but as the words reached his lips, he remembered he couldn’t help her with anything and thus swallowed the words again.

Seeing that Zhang Te’s assistant remained silent, Han Yixiao gave him a strained smile and turned to head towards the old villa. But after only a few steps, she suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

"Young miss? Young miss!" Zhang Te’s assistant quickly rushed over and crouched beside Han Yixiao. He called her name several times, but she didn’t respond. He touched her forehead and found it was alarmingly hot. He quickly picked her up and carried her to the car. As he placed her in the vehicle, her sleeve accidentally got pulled up, revealing her fair arm covered in fresh blood.

After getting into the car, Zhang Te’s assistant immediately hit the gas pedal. He didn’t take Han Yixiao to the hospital, but instead, brought her to an apartment of his where he didn’t often stay.

Back at the apartment, he first found some fever-reducing medicine and administered it to Han Yixiao. As he was preparing to go out to buy medicine for her whip wounds, his phone suddenly rang.

...

Xia Wan’an, who had spent much of the previous night in the hospital watching over Han Jingnian, fell asleep not long after Zhang Te’s assistant and Han Zhijin had left.

Han Jingnian had some unfinished work that, combined with his study having been smashed up, he had to deal with in the living room. Just when he was about to wrap things up, his phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Zhang Te’s assistant. He didn’t think much of it and continued to review the documents while answering the call.

"President Han, do you remember the day your wife had an accident at sea, and the bodyguard we had arranged for the madam was knocked unconscious? You’ve always had me look into who attacked the bodyguard, but we’ve been at a dead end until today... we’ve found something..." Zhang Te’s assistant, hesitating for quite a while on the other end of the line, finally spoke, "The one who knocked out the bodyguard wasn’t one of Chi Mu’s men, nor was it one of Chi Yao’s people, but... it was someone under Lin Chen, the second young master of the Lin Family..."

Han Jingnian’s action of signing the document abruptly stopped.

"The second young master of the Lin Family seems to have a deep connection with Miss Xia Wanwan, and Miss Xia Wanwan is also the madam...so, to be precise, the person who originally knocked out the bodyguard was the madam’s..."
