Zhou Jingming held her hand, his handsome face pale from his injury. "Silly girl, of course you're my wife."

Upon hearing this, Su Xi gritted her teeth in anger.

"Knowing you're still hiding it, I think you never really consider me your wife."

Everyone knew about the serious injury, except for her, who was kept in the dark.

If she hadn't come today, would he have planned to disappear for a few days, wait until he recovered before going home, and pretend that nothing had happened?

"That's not it." Zhou Jingming hurriedly explained when he saw that she was angry, "I just..."

"If I can't get in touch with you, how can I not worry?"

Su Xi interrupted him directly, not giving him a chance to speak.

Zhou Jingming was speechless.

She's right.

It was all his own self-righteous belief that he was doing it for her own good.

They didn't consider her feelings at all.

"I'm sorry, honey, I know I was wrong," Zhou Jingming admitted. "I should have told you immediately, and I shouldn't have made you worry."

"It's too late to realize your mistake now."

Su Xi was truly angry. She stood up, her face cold, and said, "Let your good brother Si Nan take care of you. I'm leaving."

After saying that, she turned around.

Zhou Jingming immediately panicked and reached out to pull her.

This movement aggravated his wound, causing him to groan in pain.

Su Xi panicked and turned to look at his wound. The wound, which had just been bandaged, had reopened, and the white gauze was now stained red with blood.

"Who told you to move around like that?" Su Xi felt extremely distressed.

Zhou Jingming broke out in a cold sweat and weakly said, "Don't go."

Worried that he would move around again, Su Xi could only agree, "Okay, I won't leave. Just lie still and don't move. I'll call the doctor in for you."

Not long after, Si Nan arrived again with Dr. Lan.

After re-bandaging Zhou Jingming's wound, Dr. Lan repeatedly instructed him not to engage in strenuous exercise and also told Su Xi not to agitate the patient.

After everyone had left, Su Xi gripped the man's hand tightly and asked him sharply, "Tell me, why were you injured?"

He left in a panic, and then his phone became unreachable.

This wound looks like it was left by someone with excellent marksmanship.

“Someone came to the bar and caused trouble, and a conflict broke out.” Zhou Jingming avoided her gaze.

Su Xi's eyes remained fixed on his face, and she blinked suspiciously. "Are you sure it's just a normal disturbance?"

Ordinary people don't own guns.

Su Xi did not believe his explanation.

"This land of Lanmei used to be the territory of a certain industry leader. When I acquired it, I encountered a lot of difficulties. The other party refused to compromise. If I hadn't used some connections, they wouldn't have agreed to give up the land."

“They’ve held a grudge for years and have been causing trouble at the bar every few days. This time, when Si Nan was away for a few days, they obviously lost their temper again and rushed in to cause trouble. I didn’t expect them to have guns, and I was unable to avoid them in time, which is why I was injured.”

It sounded like there was no problem, but Su Xi felt it wasn't that simple.

She had witnessed Zhou Jingming's skills firsthand; he was not someone that could be harmed by ordinary people.

The gunshot wounds on his body were precise and powerful.

It's difficult for an average thug to achieve this level of skill.

On the contrary, it's very much like the skill of a highly trained expert who could reach this level.

"Where are those thugs?" Su Xi asked, arms crossed, staring at him calmly.

Zhou Jingming said, "They ran away because they were afraid of retaliation."

Su Xi stared at him for a long time, but ultimately said nothing.

Zhou Jingming deliberately used this excuse to deceive her; there must be a secret hidden behind it.

No matter how many more questions she asks, he is unlikely to tell the truth.

She stayed by his side for a while until he fell asleep before leaving the lounge.

Fu Yu hadn't left yet. As soon as she stepped out, she gave Fu Yu a wink.

The two arrived at a secluded corner.

"So, did you catch them in the act?" Fu Yu asked.

Su Xi shook her head. "He didn't sleep with any women. He was injured. The woman was a doctor."

"A doctor dressed so seductively?" Fu Yu exclaimed in surprise. "Is she here to see a doctor, or to seduce men?"

She clearly saw a sexy woman enter the office.

I thought...

She's a woman who does that kind of business.

Su Xi shrugged. "She is indeed a doctor, but her identity is a bit suspicious. Go and investigate her background. I have a feeling that Zhou Jingming's injury this time is not simple."

Si Nan was secretive and unwilling to be honest.

She asked Zhou Jingming, and the man answered everything without hesitation.

Dr. Lan's treatment methods are also quite different from those of ordinary doctors.

It's no wonder Su Xi is suspicious; after all, Lin is also a doctor, and she probably knows the normal medical treatment process.

This Dr. Lan, however, used acupuncture.

That's really strange.

"Also, check if anyone came to Blue Charm to cause trouble today."

Fu Yu only vaguely heard it, "What trouble?"

Su Xi then told Fu Yu everything Zhou Jingming had said and asked Fu Yu to investigate Lan Mei's past.

Fu Yu knew Su Xi was anxious, so she went to deal with it without saying a word.

at the same time.

In the lounge.

Dr. Lan appeared at Zhou Jingming's window and nodded respectfully, "Mr. Jiu."

"Upload your information online immediately. Remember, you must make people believe you're just an ordinary doctor." Zhou Jingming's eyes were cold. Su Xi was such a clever and perceptive person; ordinary excuses were unlikely to convince her.

I'm afraid she's already sent people to investigate Lan Zhi's background.

Lan Zhi is a member of the Dark Night Pavilion.

He was also his right-hand man.

Besides being incredibly skilled in martial arts, he was also a highly skilled doctor.

Lan Zhi understood Zhou Jingming's intention, nodded, and withdrew.

Afterwards, Zhou Jingming instructed Si Nan to spread false information, making sure that someone came to Lan Mei seeking revenge today.

In addition, they secretly established an underground organization.

In any case, Su Xi must be convinced that this is just an ordinary revenge attempt.

Si Nan had too many questions in his mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Young Master Zhou, who exactly are you?"

Even if Su Xi didn't suspect it, Si Nan wouldn't believe it either.

A few hours ago, Si Nan was summoned by Zhou Jingming via phone.

Zhou Jingming told him to come in through the back door.

When he arrived, Lan Zhi was inside treating Zhou Jingming's wounds.

Zhou Jingming remained silent about his injury.

He was also instructed that if Su Xi came, he should act along with her.

Everything was shrouded in mystery.

Si Nan isn't stupid; he can see there's something wrong with it.

"Want to know?" Zhou Jingming pressed his hand to his chest and leaned against the headboard.

Si Nan nodded. "Isn't that obvious?"

He got injured out of nowhere.

There was also a female doctor with an exceptionally good figure and appearance who helped him with the medical examination. If he hadn't stayed there for several hours, he would have been sure it was just a regular medical visit.

Si Nan really misunderstood that Zhou Jingming was having an affair.

"Dark Night Pavilion".

Zhou Jingming slowly uttered three words.
