Qin Xuan prepared to go to Wang Yuyan's home to get some clothes for her.
As he stepped out and was about to hail a taxi, a figure suddenly rushed towards him from afar.
At first glance, it was a woman.
She was wearing a corporate suit with a hip-skirt, and her stockings had several holes in them.
The woman limped, looking very disheveled.
As she got closer, Qin Xuan got a clear look at her.
Qin Xuan frowned. He had seen this woman before when he went to find Wang Yuyan; she seemed to be a shareholder of the Wang Corporation.
The woman was Guan Rou, and behind her, a group of men in black suits were chasing her.
Guan Rou happened to see Qin Xuan at the entrance of the complex and quickly waved at him.
"Qin... Qin..." Before she could finish speaking as she reached Qin Xuan, she collapsed.
Qin Xuan quickly stepped forward to help her.
"What's wrong?" Qin Xuan held her, looking at the exhausted Guan Rou, and asked with a frown.
"Guo... Jianhua and Li..." Guan Rou handed her phone to Qin Xuan, but before she could finish, she fainted.
Seven or eight men in suits caught up. Seeing Guan Rou collapse in Qin Xuan's arms, they assumed he was some suicidal hero trying to save a damsel in distress. The leader of the men in suits immediately shouted.
"Kid, hand her over. You need to know who you're saving when you play the hero. Some women are not worth saving, or you won't even know how you died."
Qin Xuan didn't understand what was happening, but he knew that Guan Rou was close to Wang Yuyan and had a good relationship with her. Moreover, judging by their attire, they all had the Wang Corporation's logo. So, he vaguely guessed something.
He then put away the phone, leaned Guan Rou against the flower bed, and turned to face the group of men in suits, saying coldly.
"She is my friend. You can leave now."
The leader of the men in suits' face darkened, and he angrily said.
"Kid, don't push your luck. Do you know who we are? We are from the Wang Corporation. If you offend us, you might not live to see tonight!"
Qin Xuan sneered.
"Someone threatened me before. But he is already in hell."
Qin Xuan was naturally referring to Jin Shikai.
The man in the suit clenched his fist. He had never seen someone so eager to die.
"Damn it, you're asking for it! Go, cripple this kid!"
They all rushed forward.
Qin Xuan sneered, flicked his right hand towards the ground, and several leaves flew into the air. With a flick of Qin Xuan's arm, the leaves shot out like blades.
"Whoosh..."
Dozens of leaves tore through the clothes of the seven or eight men in suits, revealing clear bloodstains on their white undershirts.
The leader of the men in suits touched the two cuts on his face made by the leaves and swallowed.
Holy cow.
Were these really leaves?
Leaves capable of this much damage?
Qin Xuan snorted.
"If you don't leave now, the next leaf will cut your throats."
As he spoke, a few more leaves floated up from the ground.
"Gulp..."
They all swallowed, involuntarily taking a step back.
The leader of the men in suits had never encountered anything so eerie and terrifying. He quickly led his men and turned to flee frantically.
They were afraid that if they ran any slower, their throats would be slit by the leaves.
After sending them away, Qin Xuan quickly picked up Guan Rou and returned to the villa.
Seeing Qin Xuan return so soon, and more importantly, carrying a woman, Wang Yuyan and Tantai Yue on the sofa couldn't help but feel a bit jealous. Tantai Yue asked.
"Qin Xuan, didn't you go to Yuyan's house to get her clothes? Why did you bring someone back?"
"Tantai Yue, quickly get the first-aid kit." Qin Xuan had no time to explain. He placed Guan Rou on the sofa and said to Tantai Yue.
Hearing the urgency in Qin Xuan's voice, Tantai Yue's jealousy disappeared. She immediately turned and went upstairs to get the first-aid kit.
Wang Yuyan also leaned in to take a look. She was shocked by what she saw. Pointing at Guan Rou on the sofa, she exclaimed.
"Qin Xuan, why did you bring Sister Rou back!"
Qin Xuan shook his head helplessly.
"I don't know. I just went out and saw her at the entrance of the complex, and people from your Wang Corporation were chasing her..."
Hearing Qin Xuan's words, Wang Yuyan frowned and thought for a moment before saying.
"Something big must have happened. Sister Rou must have discovered something, and Guo Jianhua found out, which is why she..."
"First-aid kit is here!" Before Wang Yuyan could finish, Tantai Yue rushed down with the first-aid kit from upstairs.
Qin Xuan took the first-aid kit and simply cleaned Guan Rou's wounds with iodine. Then he examined her legs, as she had been limping at the entrance.
Her left foot had a simple abrasion, but her right ankle was dislocated.
Qin Xuan secured her foot with two splints and then summoned a trace of dragon energy to wrap around her ankle, to alleviate her subsequent pain.
After fixing her foot, Qin Xuan grabbed her sole and forcefully twisted.
"Ah!" With a cry of pain, Guan Rou woke up from her unconsciousness.
"Sister Rou!"
"Is she alright!"
Wang Yuyan and Tantai Yue asked with concern at the same time.
Qin Xuan gently lowered her foot and said.
"She's fine. The bone is reset. She'll be fine after a few days of rest."
Although Qin Xuan's dragon energy had relieved some of her pain, the pain of broken bones was still something a delicate woman like her could not endure.
After a while, Guan Rou gradually felt the pain lessen.
Wang Yuyan quickly took Guan Rou's hand and asked with concern.
"Sister Rou, are you okay?"
Guan Rou looked at the familiar faces before her, her face pale, and managed a weak smile.
"I'm fine, I'm fine. Yuyan, it's good to see you."
Wang Yuyan's eyes welled up as she looked at the woman before her.
Although Guan Rou was nearly thirty, she was still unmarried, having dedicated herself entirely to the company.
Wang Yuyan remembered that Guan Rou's father had worked alongside her grandfather to build their empire from scratch.
When Wang Yuyan was young, her family and Guan Rou's family went on a trip together.
During that trip, they accidentally encountered enemies seeking revenge. Wang Yuyan's mother was killed by the enemies while protecting Guan Rou, and Guan Rou's parents died from gunshot wounds while protecting Wang Yuyan.
In the end, only Guan Rou remained of her family.
After that life-and-death experience, their relationship grew stronger, and Guan Rou treated her like her own sister.
Wang Youhai, feeling guilty, gave her five percent of the company's shares.
Since she was the only one left in her family, Wang Youhai often introduced her to potential partners, hoping she would find companionship.
But she refused them all, focusing solely on the company.
Now, both of them were alone in the world.
Guan Rou had also escaped death.
Tears flowed uncontrollably from both of them, and they embraced each other.
