Chapter 31: How Can You Check...

As Nanhuang's words fell one by one, Bao Shen's heart felt like it was being relentlessly struck by a massive axe.

Dull pain, suffocating pain!

His mind buzzed, and he went blank for a long while.

What did she mean?

Had he made a mistake?

After all these years, had he misunderstood his savior?

"You lied to me, didn't you?" He was on the verge of madness. "Ye Nanhuang, you lied to me!!"

He was hysterical.

What had he done?

The girl in his heart.

He had been hurting the girl in his heart all along!

"Mu Yun! Tell me it was you who saved me!" Bao Shen grabbed Mu Yun's collar in a fit of rage.

"I... Shen Ge, let go of me, I can't breathe..."

"I'll kill you!"

In the nick of time, Mu Yun forcefully pushed Bao Shen away. "I never said it was me who saved you. You mistook me for someone else!!"

Bao Shen took a step back.

Yes.

In his dazed state, he almost saw a divine figure. He reached out to grab something.

He grabbed hold of a golden figurine, and it remained clenched in his hand.

His milk tea had spilled on the girl when they bumped into each other. Strangely, even though the fire that day was as intense as today's, he hadn't felt scared.

There was only one thought in his mind: he had to save her.

"Ye... Ye Nanhuang..."

Nanhuang eventually snorted. "The Ye Nanhuang you mentioned is already dead."

Indeed.

On the last day she was alive, she had knelt down and begged him not to leave.

Now, it was his turn.

"Ye Nanhuang! Don't leave, I beg you, don't leave!"

"The golden figurine you mentioned, it's mine." Nanhuang spoke indifferently. "I'll have someone from the Bao family retrieve it. Remember to return it to me."

With that, Nanhuang got into Rong's car, rolled down the window, and bid farewell to Xie Yu. Xie Yu smiled and said, "Xu Qun will come to pick me up later. Nanhuang, I'll help you manage the environmental protection company."

Nanhuang smiled. "Sure, Mom. I trust you to handle it."

Xie Yu then looked at Rong, who was in the car, making him a bit nervous.

"Nanhuang, what's going on between you and him..."

Nanhuang immediately responded, "We have some business matters to discuss."

"Are you dating?"

"No!"

After that, Nanhuang kicked Rong in the leg and ordered, "Drive!"

Rong was taken aback; he had wanted to respond to Xie Yu.

Nanhuang looked at him sternly and said, "Drive!"

Rong started the car and took them to the hospital.

"Inside the chemical factory, one person died," Rong said as he exhaled a smoke ring. "The workers have identified him as Ding Shi."

"Oh, he's dead, what a pity."

"Why are you pitying him?" Rong asked. "He wanted to kill you. What's there to pity?"

Nanhuang couldn't be bothered to reply.

That man, his heart had already died before he physically died. He was practically no different from a corpse. But Nanhuang felt that the person who truly deserved punishment hadn't faced it yet.

Nanhuang continued, "Bao Shen, please help me handle that golden figurine."

"What do you want me to do?" Rong asked.

"Find a place to bury it; I find it dirty."

Rong chuckled. "You're really good at bossing me around. Alright, I'll take care of it. I find it dirty too."

After disposing of the matter, Rong asked, "This time, you rescued several workers from the fire. I heard they're quite grateful to you now."

Nanhuang looked out the window.

At the hospital, Rong was initially planning to take a shortcut, but Nanhuang dragged him to the emergency room to see an orthopedic specialist.

"He broke his hand; how should it be treated?" Nanhuang firmly pressed him down on a bench, looking fierce.

The orthopedic doctor couldn't help but feel that both of them had an intimidating presence.

"What's going on with you two..."

"We just escaped from a fire," Nanhuang replied, patting herself to dissipate some negative energy.

"Alright," the doctor said. "Let's get an X-ray first to assess the fracture."

Nanhuang, with Rong in tow, paid for the examination. After that, they went to the X-ray machine together. When the report came out, Nanhuang handed it to the doctor.

"It's a fractured bone; fortunately, it hasn't completely snapped. We'll put on a cast."

The doctor gave Rong instructions. "You need to rest your arm for a hundred days, and get plenty of sleep and sunlight to replenish calcium. Don't move your hand recklessly."

Nanhuang nodded modestly.

Rong's thoughts had been wandering.

Not yet having reached puberty...

She had not yet reached puberty...

Nanhuang turned around, and Rong felt like he was caught peeking and became a little nervous. He quickly turned his gaze forward.

He seriously drove the car.
