Chapter 99: Chapter 99: Making Trouble

Although she didn’t know the exact conflict within this family of three, Ji Yu still needed to ensure Sun Yongxin’s safety during his hospitalization.

Tian hesitated for a moment, "Sister Yu, getting involved in this will only cause trouble for us. These people don’t seem easy to deal with. Are you sure you want to continue intervening?"

He had always been cautious about getting involved, but Ji Yu was exceptionally serious about this matter.

"Since he is our patient, we have to take good care of him." Ji Yu’s expression remained unchanged, clearly having made up her mind long ago.

"Tian, do you think these people are good people?" It wasn’t that Ji Yu judged people by their appearance, but their recent behavior had been utterly outrageous.

"No matter how big the issue is, it has to wait until after his discharge. For now, the priority is to stabilize his emotions."

Tian sighed helplessly, aware that Ji Yu was right, and nodded decisively.

"I understand, Sister Yu."

Since Ji Yu had made arrangements, no matter how much this family wanted to cause a commotion, they’d have to see if they could actually pull it off.

That evening, Ji Yu had planned to head back to the Ji family, but before she could get into the car, someone blocked her way.

"This is the girl who’s been meddling? Well, today I’ll teach her a lesson and see if she dares to interfere again."

Ji Yu’s delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her face began to show signs of impatience. "How much longer are you planning to pester me? You know it’s illegal to abduct me."

She couldn’t understand the actions of the people before her.

But the man clearly wasn’t about to reason with her; he decided to tie her up first and deal with the rest later.

Without hesitation, he shoved Ji Yu into the back seat of the car. Unable to resist, Ji Yu could only let him have his way for now.

"You seem so arrogant usually, little girl. Where’s your arrogance now?"

He drove the car to a desolate area.

Ji Yu tried to stay as calm as possible. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Surely he wasn’t planning to commit murder for revenge?

The man’s thick hands stroked across Ji Yu’s porcelain-white face a few times. "Take a guess. Out here, alone in the wilderness, just the two of us—what do you think we’d do?"

Ji Yu’s expression darkened as she bit down on his hand fiercely.

"Bitch!" He slapped Ji Yu hard across the face, and a red handprint immediately appeared on her delicate cheek, making her look pitiful.

"What’s your endgame here?" Ji Yu took a deep breath, not wanting to waste more time arguing.

"Release me now, and we can still talk this out. Otherwise, do you think you can evade the law?"

Ji Yu didn’t care about the handprint on her face; she just wanted him to let her go.

But the man wasn’t buying it. "Do you think I dared to grab you because I’m afraid of being caught? Little girl, tonight we’re going to have some fun."

As he spoke, his thick hand reached for Ji Yu’s collar. Ji Yu’s eyes burned with disgust, but being tied up, she was powerless to resist.

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll call the police and have you arrested?"

"Go on, call them. Let’s see if the cops will pity you when they see how things are." He sneered, his face leering as his pudgy cheeks piled into folds that made Ji Yu feel nauseous.

Just as Ji Yu was about to speak again, there was a sudden *bang*! Blood trickled down the man’s forehead.

The man let out a howl of pain, and before he could turn around, he was grabbed by the collar and flung into a nearby patch of grass like a dead pig.

Gu Qixiao removed his jacket and draped it over Ji Yu, his expression colder than she had ever seen. "Are you hurt?"

He held Ji Yu in his arms, as if afraid that something might happen to her.

Ji Yu was surprised by his arrival. "I’m fine. He didn’t succeed."

Still, Gu Qixiao’s demeanor was unlike anything she’d ever seen from him before.

Gu Qixiao gently touched Ji Yu’s face, noticing the handprint on her cheek.

"Looks like I went easy on that guy just now."

He lowered his head to conceal the darkness in his eyes, not wanting to scare Ji Yu with his expression.

Ji Yu adjusted her wrists and felt a mix of shock and relief at Gu Qixiao’s arrival. But she hadn’t forgotten about the man lying in the grass like a lifeless pig.

"What about him?"

Gu Qixiao stood up and casually kicked the man twice. "Someone will come to deal with him. Don’t worry about his life."

His tone sounded indifferent, but the man could see the icy, terrifying look in Gu Qixiao’s eyes. It was as if he were staring at a corpse.

"Please... Doctor Ji, aren’t you a doctor? You must have a kind heart. Take me back with you!"

Blood still smeared his face as he clung to Ji Yu’s leg like a vengeful ghost.

Ji Yu frowned, her cheek still bearing the mark of his slap. "I’m a doctor, not a charity worker. Why should I take you back?"

Besides, didn’t he claim to know this area well?

She couldn’t be bothered with him and decisively got into Gu Qixiao’s car.

Gu Qixiao didn’t say much either, but as they left, he "accidentally" stepped on the man’s fingers.

"President Gu, I know I was wrong—please..."

Before he could finish, all he got in response was the exhaust fumes of the departing car.

In the car, Ji Yu reached up to deal with the slap mark on her face, but Gu Qixiao was already ahead of her, pulling out an ice pack to gently apply to her cheek.

"I’m sorry I was late." He felt deeply guilty about what had happened to Ji Yu.

Seeing the clear handprint on Ji Yu’s delicate face stirred indescribable feelings inside him.

Ji Yu felt a bit embarrassed. "It was partly my fault. I knew these people weren’t good but still chose to get involved."

She should have been more cautious.

All of this could’ve been avoided if she had handled things better.

She wanted to comfort Gu Qixiao, but looking at his somber expression, he seemed completely unlike the Gu Qixiao she remembered.

"I didn’t know you look like this when you’re angry."

Ji Yu had always been curious about Gu Qixiao, and now, seeing him like this, she suddenly felt he seemed like someone truly reliable.

"I’m not angry. I’m feeling guilty. If I’m angry, it’s at that man."

He had heard about the man before, but he never expected him to target Ji Yu. "He’s a well-known scoundrel from the Sun family. However, the Sun family has fallen on hard times over the years, and for him to still do something like this—it seems his lessons haven’t been harsh enough."

The thought of Ji Yu almost getting hurt by such a person filled Gu Qixiao with disgust.

"The Sun family?"

"Yes. The Sun family’s situation is rather complicated. They used to be somewhat influential, but after their leader suddenly stepped down three years ago, their decline began." Gu Qixiao still remembered the general details but had no interest in the family’s affairs. All he cared about was the injustice Ji Yu had suffered.

Ji Yu raised her brows slightly. "It seems that the people who come to me for treatment aren’t exactly ordinary folks."

Sun Yongxin, it turns out, had such a background. Still, what were they trying to achieve by coming to Sun Yongxin?
