However, when Shen Jingyu removed Su Xing's slippers, he saw that the socks were already stained with dried blood. He hesitated to take off her socks, fearing that he might cause her further harm.
"Let's just wrap it up for now and deal with it properly later," Qin Yi reminded him from the side.
Shen Jingyu grimaced but followed the advice. Once he finished wrapping the bandages, he picked Su Xing up in his arms.
"What are you doing, Shen Jingyu?! Put me down!"
"Since you won't let me carry you on my back, I'll hold you like this."
With that, Shen Jingyu started moving, and the others quickly followed suit.
"Wow, Brother Yu is so impressive!" Luo Hao exclaimed, chattering excitedly behind them.
Qin Yi quietly stroked his chin and thought to himself, "I think I need to study his physical limits when we get back. How many days and nights can he go without sleep before he collapses?"
Shen Jingyu was not a machine; he would naturally get tired. However, after all the suffering Su Xing had endured this time, he felt immensely guilty and couldn't bear to let her suffer even a little more.
In his ears, Su Xing's gentle voice persisted: "A Yu, please put me down. This really makes me uncomfortable."
"I know you're worried about me, but don't I care about you too?"
Shen Jingyu seized the moment to say, "Then care for me a bit more. When we get back, let's move in together, and you can take good care of me."
Su Xing replied, "So is this your way of playing the sympathy card?"
Fortunately, after walking a few dozen meters, Fang Tong finally found a signal.
He jogged back to report: "Captain, I've contacted the Nangong Family Head. He's nearby and will be here in about five minutes based on the location."
"Finally! I feel so drained now!" Luo Hao sighed in relief.
Seizing the opportunity, Su Xing called out to Shen Jingyu to stop: "Everyone is tired; can we rest here for a bit?"
Shen Jingyu didn't insist any longer. He found a large rock by the roadside and set Su Xing down on it to rest.
However, Shen Jingyu did not sit down. Instead, he took a mini-computer from Fang Tong and began operating it.
"Brother Yu, I've marked all the locations. Once we return, I'll arrange for people to come and deploy."
Luo Hao was reliable when he was serious.
But Shen Jingyu cautioned: "We must be careful and act discreetly. We cannot act rashly."
"I understand; it's not safe for us to operate here. They will eventually transport those things back to their home country."
Shen Jingyu furrowed his brow as unease settled deeper in his heart.
The sky in the forest darkened early, and as the last ray of light vanished from the horizon, a large fish had not only shown its tail but was also stirring up a storm.
Fortunately, Nan Gong Ye's car arrived just in time. The headlights illuminated the area for a brief moment, causing everyone to tense up.
"It's our people," Shen Jingyu said lightly, immediately recognizing that the driver in the front seat was Nan Gong Ye.
Two more cars followed behind, and everyone quickly got in to leave. Shen Jingyu took Su Xing and sat in the back seat of Nan Gong Ye's car, while the others did not disturb them.
Nan Gong Ye felt as if he had not only become a driver but also a giant light bulb. Thankfully, Shen Jingyu did not overlook him; he introduced Su Xing right away: "This is Nan Gong Ye, one of my good friends. If anything happens in the city, just let him know."
"Hey, you’re not being polite!" Nan Gong Ye shot a glance at Shen Jingyu through the rearview mirror and then turned to Su Xing with a smile. "Jing Yu is only a day older than me, but I’ll recognize you as my sister-in-law!"
"Thank you, A Ye," Su Xing replied with a friendly smile.
Then she quietly looked at Shen Jingyu and asked, "Don’t you have any friends who are more like you? They all seem so unruly!"
Shen Jingyu felt quite helpless about it. But it was normal for friends to have complementary personalities.
"What’s happening outside today?" he asked.
He had expected Lawrence to discover them and set up a blockade on the back mountain, but he hadn’t anticipated such an unobstructed escape.
Nan Gong Ye boasted about it: "That old grandson Lawrence has been lurking at the airport all day. I heard he just left there and should be heading to Lawrence Manor soon."
By the time he returns, he’ll realize that He Xiaoqing didn’t pick him up and that Su Xing has escaped.
Shen Jingyu understood Nan Gong Ye’s mood instantly and smirked wickedly. "Looks like you two found the right way to deal with him."
Nan Gong Ye sighed. "Brother Shao is truly a big tree beside me! One phone call sent that Lawrence on a wild goose chase all day; it felt great!"
Shen Jingyu understood that Shi Shao had likely used his Xiao Jue identity to feed fake news to Lawrence at the airport.
"Aunt He and Mu Beiyao, where are they?" Shen Jingyu asked.
Su Xing's eyes widened in disbelief. "My mom and Mu Beiyao? Do they know what’s going on?"
Shen Jingyu replied honestly, "Yes. They boarded the plane without my knowledge."
Su Xing frowned. "Those two are always worrying about their own people."
Seeing that Su Xing had nothing more to say, Nan Gong Ye answered Shen Jingyu's earlier question: "As for them, they were sent back home before even getting off the plane by our Shao Xiao Jue."
It was estimated that by now, they were home and having lunch. After all, there was still a time difference, and those two women had been through quite a lot these past few days.
"Huh? What’s going on here?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow, her interest piqued as she asked A Yu, "Do you still know Duke from the Western Country?"
"Is that why he was able to find her so quickly after being brought by Lawrence?" Shen Jingyu raised an eyebrow. "He’s also a good friend of mine, the son of the Duke. You’ll meet him soon. I told you, you’ll gradually get to know my friends."
Indeed, they were all curious about which woman had stolen Jing Yu's heart! Upon seeing her today, it was clear that she was indeed impressive!
"So, you all know me?" Su Xing directed her question at Nan Gong Ye.
Shen Jingyu smiled shyly at this.
Nan Gong Ye looked at him and naturally scoffed, "You must be quite the reserved one in front of your woman."
"Sister-in-law need not be surprised; your name is well-known among those close to Jing Yu!"
Throughout the journey, Nan Gong Ye had shared quite a bit—what should be said and what shouldn’t—while chatting with Su Xing until the car finally stopped at Shi Shao Manor. Su Xing had gained a better understanding of Shen Jingyu.
This man really did keep himself in high regard.
But why hadn’t he contacted her? What could be the reason?
Listening to Nan Gong Ye's words, it seemed there were still some unspoken secrets regarding Shen Jingyu.
Nan Gong Ye got out of the car first, but Su Xing pulled Shen Jingyu back just as he was about to move.
"Why do all your friends know about my existence?"
"What do you think?"
"I’m asking you!" Su Xing's gaze was intense; she demanded an answer.
Shen Jingyu withdrew his hand and replied casually, "I’m just afraid that one day, if you get jealous over something unfounded, no one will be able to explain it to you."
Su Xing smiled. "So now all your friends can vouch for you, right?!"
"You scheming little thing," Shen Jingyu chuckled playfully. "As long as it’s useful!"
"You believe it, don’t you? And you’re quite touched by it."
