The Rolls Royce limousine, escorted in the front and rear by a Cadillac bulletproof SUV, was driven back to the pungent waste treatment plant.
Gong Siyu got out of the car in a frenzy, searching for Ji Younai.
He regretted it. He regretted leaving her there.
If they ran into crooks in such a remote place, how would the weak and sickly-looking Liu Yun be able to protect Ji Younai?
'It wasn't a big deal to take Liu Yun home with me. I could just get someone to help him settle down. Why was I so petty?'
Even after looking around, Gong Siyu did not see anyone.
Filled with anxiety, he began to feel worried and fearful.
He was scared of losing Ji Younai.
"Young Master, over there!" a bodyguard suddenly cried out.
He looked in the direction the bodyguard was pointing towards.
At the side of the road, near them… A small white figure was squatting on the ground in fear and hugging herself, her head buried in her hands while her bodies twitched uncontrollably. She seemed to be crying, while beside her, Liu Yun was beating up a person who had fallen to the ground.
His pupils constricted and his heart tensed up as he immediately ran over.
He listened as Liu Yun comforted Ji Younai while beating up the skinny man on the ground, who was wailing uncontrollably and crying out in pain.
"You deserve this for molesting her! You deserve this for bullying her!"
Liu Yun kicked the man on the ground forcefully before punching him hysterically once again.
"Ji Younai, look! I've beaten him up to the point where his face is covered in blood! Don't cry! Do you want to punch him a few times?"
Gong Siyu dashed over and pulled Ji Younai into his arms. Staring sternly at Liu Yun, he asked, "What's the matter!?"
Liu Yun was not surprised or shocked to see Gong Siyu, maintaining a straight face.
After kicking and punching the man on the ground again, he said, "This person came out of nowhere and took advantage of the time when I was walking in front and did not look back. He covered Little Younai's mouth and wanted to drag her away. Then... she got so frightened and started crying. I was really angry! I beat that person up to stand up for her."
After listening to Liu Yun's recount, Gong Siyu felt that he had really been muddled up previously.
He could tell with a glance that Liu Yun was just a kid, about the same age as Ji Younai. He was not mature at all.
He had actually let Ji Younai follow someone who had yet to grow up himself, in the middle of the night at that. Liu Yun had even escaped from the crisis stabilization ward of the asylum.
He could not imagine what horrible things would have happened if he had actually left.
Carrying Ji Younai sympathetically, Gong Siyu stared coldly at Liu Yun.
"Scram back inside the car and wait there."
Upon hearing that Gong Siyu actually wanted him to get inside the car, Liu Yun looked at him with a look of confusion on his face. He asked with uncertainty, "Are you sure?"
"Cut the crap and get in," he ordered, his tone hostile.
Then, he tightened his grip on Ji Younai and glanced at Bai Feiran sinisterly, brows raised.
"Pick the tendons out of this person's hands, as well as his hamstrings. Then throw them on the side of the road. Don't kill him."
After saying this, he carried Ji Younai into the car.
The car drove swiftly on the road, humans very scarce here.
There was silence in the car.
Wrapping a tartan blanket around Ji Younai, he placed her on his own lap and hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go.
She was extremely light, and the tip of her nose was slightly red. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, and she remained silent, placing her long and slender arm gently on his chest.
Resting his chin against her forehead, Gong Siyu looked down at her.
In a low and hoarse voice filled with guilt, he swore to her, "I promise, I won't leave you behind again in the future. I was wrong."
"That person... He even touched me just now. He's horrible, detestable..."
Her voice was soft and weak, her expression filled with disgust.
"It's alright. Take a nap in my arms. It's all over now."
The gaze in Gong Siyu's eyes became even colder, feeling that the punishment of picking out the man's tendons was too light.
Bai Feiran was the one driving.
The pungent Liu Yun was seated in the passenger's seat.
Liu Yun had a melon-seed-shaped face that was thin and gaunt. At first glance, his scarlet eyes looked extremely abnormal and terrifying. However, after a closer look, one would realize that he had a pair of beautiful eyes that were shaped like peach blossoms.
His face was pale, and he looked sickly, yet puerile and melancholy.
At this moment, he was resting his face in his hands and seated sideways, looking at Bai Feiran, who was driving, and not looking away at all.
All of a sudden, Liu Yun said, "Let me ask you a question."
With a straight face, Bai Feiran silently looked sideways at Liu Yun.
"Are you facially paralyzed like I am?"
"..."
"I stayed in the asylum for a year. Due to the fact that I was in the crisis stabilization ward, the doctors would test a variety of drugs meant for mental health treatments on me. After excessive testing, my nerves got damaged. Sometimes, my memory would be bad, I'd be facially paralyzed, and sometimes I'd get headaches. Do you experience the same symptoms?"
"..."
"Do you?"
Bai Feiran took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, retorting, "I'm not a lunatic."
"Oh, you might have been born with facial paralysis. You look cold and expressionless."
"..."
Deep down, Bai Feiran was losing his temper.
'Who's this person? Are his brains fried?'
By the time Gong Siyu returned to his mansion, the sky had already turned slightly bright.
Ji Younai was sleeping soundly in his arms and he couldn't bear to wake her up. Hence, he simply carried her into the mansion himself.
In the end, the insensitive Liu Yun scrambled to Gong Siyu as soon as he got out of the car. "Younai, we're here. The sky has turned bright. It's time to wake up."
Gong Siyu almost couldn't resist his urge to kick Liu Yun away.
Casting a hostile gaze at Liu Yun, he lowered his voice and snapped, "Shut up! Can't you let her sleep a little more?"
"Okay..."
Many of the servants in the mansion were afraid of Liu Yun, who had a pair of scarlet eyes. After Gong Siyu glared at him, he had no choice but to humph softly and hide behind Bai Feiran, the man who did not discriminate against him due to his abnormal eyes.
Gong Si Yu instructed Bai Fei Ran to prepare a guest room for Liu Yun.
"I want it to be the room furthest away from mine!"
"Yes, Young Master."
"Call the Ninth Asylum and make the arrangements. Tell them that Ji Younai will never go back again."
After giving these instructions, Gong Siyu carried Ji Younai, who was sound asleep, up to his master bedroom on the third floor.
When the group of servants saw Gong Siyu carrying a smelly woman into his bedroom, they all looked astonished. At the same time, they were also wondering about the relationship between the woman and their Young Master Gong.
"Other than Miss Wen, I've never seen Young Master bring any woman back here in his arms!"
They began whispering and discussing this amongst themselves.
"That woman looked a little familiar..."
"Yeah! Isn't she the injured woman who was wrapped in a shroud, the one whom the Young Master brought home a month ago?"
...
Gong Siyu let Ji Younai sleep in his own bed.
After going to the bathroom to take a shower and wash off the dirt and odor from his body, he went to the study in his bathrobe.
Bai Feiran had been waiting in the study for some time.
"Get Carson to follow up on the case about Ji Younai and her parents' assets. I have the voice recording of the evidence in my mobile phone, so decide what to do with it."
Tossing the phone to Bai Feiran, Gong Siyu sat down in front of the desk, spreading his slender legs on the table.
"When Ji Younai wakes up later in the day, I want to personally take her shopping for some clothes. Tell the Henglong Luxury Exchange on Gulou Street to be closed for the day. I don't like shopping in crowded places."
Bai Feiran nodded as he noted everything down calmly.
"Also, I will be taking her to the police station to apply for a new ID tomorrow. Tell the chief police officers to wait for me. Get the low-ranking ones to leave. I can't be bothered to see them."
"Yes, Young Master."
"By the way, conduct a complete background check on Liu Yun."
