Chu Zhiming saw his daughter running back in a panic, his face full of surprise and worry. "Muyue, what happened to you?"
"It's nothing!" Chu Muyue hurriedly waved her hand and said, "On the way back, I saved someone who had been bitten by a dog. I helped him treat it and took him to the hospital along the way. I only realized it was getting late, so I ran back!"
"If you're late, you're late; just explain it. Why run so fast? Your health hasn't fully recovered yet!" Chu Zhiming said with immediate concern.
Chu Muyue gave an awkward smile and comforted him, "Dad, how many times do I have to say it? I'm already fine. Master even told me to get more exercise!"
"You child, why won't you listen!" Chu Zhiming shook his head helplessly. "Alright, Dad will go heat up your dinner first. Eat it while it's hot!"
"Okay!" Chu Muyue nodded with a stiff smile. She watched Chu Zhiming head to the kitchen, let out a slight sigh of relief, and patted her chest.
Thinking of what she had done in the forest, Chu Muyue felt her face heat up. However, she was also worried—would he be alright over there by himself?
But after the mental tension of the journey, now that she was relaxed, Chu Muyue clutched her head and lay down on the bed. This was the side effect of using her ocular ability.
In fact, what Chu Muyue didn't know was that less than ten minutes after she left, a young man arrived with a group of people in suits.
"Junyan! Wake up! Xiao Junyan, wake up quickly!" The young man gently patted the cheek of the enchanting man whom Chu Muyue had taken advantage of.
Xiao Junyan slowly opened his eyes. The moment he did, he raised his arm and attacked the young man in front of him.
The young man dodged nimbly, rolling backward, and shouted, "Xiao Junyan, are you trying to kill me? It's me!"
"Ye Tianming? You're here!" Xiao Junyan looked at the young man, Ye Tianming, and pressed his temples.
Ye Tianming chuckled, revealing a roguish smile as he looked at the wounds on Xiao Junyan's body. "I really didn't expect you to be able to treat your own wounds while unconscious! Tsk tsk tsk, truly impressive!"
Hearing Ye Tianming's words, Xiao Junyan was slightly stunned. He looked down at the black bandages wrapped around his body, which were made from the clothes he had been wearing.
"That woman!" Xiao Junyan gritted his teeth, his deep, dark eyes flashing with cold light.
"Woman? What woman? There are no women here!" Ye Tianming turned his head curiously to look around, asking in confusion.
Xiao Junyan braced himself against a large tree to stand up. He touched his mouth, his mind replaying the scene of that woman kissing him.
However, because they had been so close, and the woman had later knocked him unconscious, he hadn't been able to see clearly who the woman was who had saved him, taken advantage of him, and then fled. He didn't even know who she was.
Ye Tianming's eyes darted around, scanning Xiao Junyan with a wicked look. Seeing him touch his mouth, he teased, "Could it be that the wounds on your body were treated by a woman? Who is she?"
Xiao Junyan immediately shot a chilling glare at Ye Tianming. "Shut up!"
"Oh!" Ye Tianming quickly covered his mouth, but he couldn't hide the schadenfreude and gossip in his eyes and on his face.
Xiao Junyan turned and walked away, ordering with his back to Ye Tianming, "Since your old man dumped you in Xing City to be a criminal police officer, help me investigate someone!"
"A woman?" Ye Tianming trotted after him, asking with a grin, "Do you have a description? What does she look like? Don't worry, brother, I will definitely help you find her!"
