Chapter 912: 419 Confession (second watch of the night)_2 Chapter 912: 419 Confession (second watch of the night)_2 He opened his mouth, “I…”

His sleeves were not long, and Xiao Liulang glanced over and noticed the bandaged hand, with faint traces of blood seeping through the bandage.

Xiao Liulang said, “It’s late, if you want to treat your injury, you can go to the Miraculous Hand Hall, where they have doctors on duty at night.”

Liu Yisheng was not there to treat his injury.

But it was also difficult for him to explain to Xiao Liulang what he was there for.

He did not want Xiao Liulang to misunderstand.

As he was tangled about how to phrase his words, another carriage stopped at the other end of the alley.

Gu Jiao got off the carriage and walked toward her home.

She saw two handsome men standing at the door, confronting each other in a strangely tense atmosphere, and for a moment was dazzled by the scene.

The picture was quite a feast for the eyes.

Xiao Liulang looked intently at her, with an inquisitive gaze, thinking at this time she would have retired for the night, yet she had just returned.

Moreover, the clothes she wore… clearly were not the set she had on when she left in the morning, nor any set from the house.

Liu Yisheng’s inquisitive gaze was no less than Xiao Liulang’s. Gu Jiao had been unconscious when she was abducted, so how could she have recovered as if nothing had happened?

Was it really as Yuan Tang had said, that the expert had no ill intentions towards Gu Jiao, and was likely someone Gu Jiao knew?

“Husband,” Gu Jiao called out to Xiao Liulang, “What are you two doing standing here so late?”

“You ask him,” said the person whose identity had just been acknowledged, feeling a bit better. He then said to Liu Yisheng, “Come inside and sit.”

Liu Yisheng, however, said, “No need, I just came to ask Dr. Gu to look at my wound. I will leave in a while.”

Xiao Liulang did not insist any further. He turned and entered the courtyard, lighting up all the lanterns inside.

Gu Jiao’s eyes fell on his right hand, “Your hand…”

Liu Yisheng looked at his bandaged right hand, “I’m fine.”

Gu Jiao asked, “Sutured?”

Liu Yisheng looked at her in confusion, “You did the suturing, don’t you remember?”

Gu Jiao pondered, “…I seem to have some impression of it.”

Liu Yisheng pressed his lips together, “Do you… often like this? I mean, losing consciousness.”

Gu Jiao shook her head, “Not often, tonight was a special case.”

Liu Yisheng opened his mouth, but then held back.

He did not ask in the end.

He said, “I have sent your first aid kit and basket to the Medical Hall.”

The expert had taken only her when he abducted her, leaving the things on the ground behind. Liu Yisheng had first gone to the Medical Hall to inquire about her news and residence, and in passing, handed over the basket and the small medicine chest to the shop’s second manager.

Gu Jiao’s lips curved into a small smile, “Thank you.”

Gu Jiao checked his injury, worried that her suturing might not have been up to standard under those circumstances, but it turned out that her muscle memory was too strong, and the surgery was perfect.

Gu Jiao also gave him some aftercare instructions and told him to return to the Medical Hall the next day to change the dressing.

Liu Yisheng suddenly looked at her intently and asked, “And you? Are you really all right? That expert…”

“He…” Gu Jiao thought about it and said, “is a friend of my husband’s.”

She could not reveal Long Yi and Xiao Liulang’s identities, so for the time being, she described him as a friend.

Liu Yisheng was completely relieved, “Then I will take my leave.”

Liu Yisheng stepped out of Bishui Alley, onto Xuanwu Avenue, where there stood a carriage that did not seem ostentatious on the surface.

Several guards were secretly stationed around the carriage.

Yuan Tang was sitting in the carriage.

After dealing with a group of guards earlier, Yuan Tang immediately returned to the Imperial Palace and called upon Chen Country’s experts.

Only, it was unknown whether the other party had been frightened off by Gu Jiao and that masked expert, as there had been no more attempts on his life that night.

Liu Yisheng boarded the carriage.

Yuan Tang raised an eyebrow, “How is it? The girl is all right, isn’t she?”

Liu Yisheng replied, “She’s all right.”

Yuan Tang leaned back lazily against the cushion, “I told you she would be fine. That expert took great care when he rescued her, just as I look at my cousin every time.”

Liu Yisheng really wanted to kick this shameless person off the carriage.

Yuan Tang tapped his own palm with a folding fan, “But on second thought, who is that expert? When did such a formidable person arrive in Zhan Country?”

Liu Yisheng said coldly, “Instead of worrying about that, you should think about your own situation, being hunted and getting others involved as well.”

The ‘others’ Liu Yisheng referred to were not himself, but Gu Jiao.

Yuan Tang said, “I know, it’s my fault my cousin lost his fingers, and I will get to the bottom of this. I will definitely drag that bastard out and chop off his fingers to avenge my cousin! Does it hurt, cousin? Come, let me blow on it for you!”
