Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Zhou Shuyan

After examination, it was found that although the man showed no visible injuries, his internal injuries were quite severe, especially a serious trauma to the head.

Grandma Xu didn't have much money either, and Lu Youxi clenched her teeth, went to the credit union to withdraw the medical fund that Lu Zhenguo had previously given her, and together with Grandma Xu, they put together the medical fees for this stranger.

That money was originally saved by Lu Youxi for Lu Youxue's schooling.

Either do not save him, but now that they had decided to save him, they should do their utmost.

The remaining issue now was when this person would wake up.

Lu Youxi couldn't stay overnight in the hospital—it wouldn't be acceptable to her family, nor was it reassuring to leave Grandma Xu there at her old age.

Just when Lu Youxi and Grandma Xu were somewhat conflicted, the man woke up.

This relieved both Lu Youxi and Grandma Xu.

As soon as the man woke up, Lu Youxi said, "Grandma Xu, I'll go make a call and get the police here."

No sooner had Lu Youxi finished talking than the man on the hospital bed suddenly clutched his head and frowned, "Who are you??"

Lu Youxi looked at him in surprise.

Honestly, this man was incredibly handsome—too handsome.

Even though she had seen many people through her work in her past life.

Whether domestic or international, from ordinary people to celebrities in person, she had seen quite a few.

But none as handsome as the man before her.

Even now, with his head wrapped in gauze, his partially exposed face still very clearly told those looking at him that he was exceptionally attractive.

His facial features, taken individually, were excessively excellent.

Put together, they were extraordinarily harmonious, with no one feature overshadowing the others.

At this moment, the man frowned slightly, his lips tightly pursed, a look that was somewhat stern yet also somewhat helpless, which unexpectedly sparked a feeling of compassion.

These two contradictory expressions managed to coexist harmoniously on his face without giving off any abrupt or peculiar vibes.

Moreover, this man's demeanor didn't seem at all like that of an ordinary person.

In her previous life, Lu Youxi had met many business owners, yet none could compare with the aura of the man before her.

She even felt that this man seemed to be intentionally restraining his own presence.

Lu Youxi trusted her own judgment; she wasn't mistaken.

"This is Hetai Town," Lu Youxi explained. "Grandma Xu and I found you beside the wheat field outside Hexing Village. How did you end up lying in the wheat field?"

The man frowned, looking down and pinching his brow, his face showing discomfort, "I don't remember…"

"What's your name?" Grandma Xu asked.

The man paused, then when he looked up again, his face was full of disbelief, "I don't remember that either!"

Lu Youxi: "…"

What kind of cliché amnesia plot had she stumbled into?

"Since that's the case, I'll call the police," Lu Youxi said. "You were injured and found beside the wheat field, with no memory at all. We can only have the police help check your identity."

Zhou Shuyan bowed his head, his hand supporting his forehead, concealing the momentary squinting of his eyes upon hearing this, and after a while, he said with difficulty, "That sounds good."

Lu Youxi thought to herself that since the man didn't oppose contacting the police, he probably wasn't a fugitive.

After a while, the police arrived.

Naturally, they couldn't find out anything either.

Moreover, Zhou Shuyan had no identification on him.

But the quality of the man's demeanor, as Lu Youxi observed, was truly atypical.

In the end, they could only take a photo of Zhou Shuyan to see if later someone would report a missing person.

The internet now had not yet developed as extensively as it had in Lu Youxi's previous life when she became the President of Lin Group. It was still very difficult to use the internet to ascertain the man's identity.

"By the way, do you have any money on you?" Lu Youxi asked, having known, of course, that he wouldn't have any.

When he was brought to the hospital, his pockets had been searched, and nothing was found.

Zhou Shuyan felt his clothing pockets, which now were cleaner than his face.

He shook his head and then heard Lu Youxi say, "Your medical fees were put together by Grandma Xu and me."

Grandma Xu pinched Lu Youxi's hand and asked him, "You don't remember who you are, nor do you remember anything else. What do you plan to do now?"

"I will repay the medical fees," Zhou Shuyan said sternly, for in his life, he really had never owed anyone money, "I haven't decided where to go yet, but I'm young and strong. Even if I don't do anything else, I can still do physical work."

"You currently have no ID, don't know your own name, who would dare employ you?" Lu Youxi raised an eyebrow.

Zhou Shuyan froze for a moment, this was a minor issue, but he had actually overlooked it.

Zhou Shuyan had never encountered such an embarrassing situation before, with nothing on him, no ID, a penny stumping a hero.

Grandma Xu thought for a moment and said, "Young man, why don't you come back with me for now?"

"Grandma Xu!" Lu Youxi quickly protested, "It's too dangerous to bring someone home when we know nothing about him."

Grandma Xu smiled and said, "Everyone in our village lives close by. Even if he really is a bad person, what dare he do?"

"Besides, I'm somewhat confident in my judgment of people," Grandma Xu smiled again. "This young man is not only good-looking but also has a clear and proper gaze. Even if he can't remember anything now, judging from his demeanor and speech, he doesn't seem like some lowlife. It's just a temporary downfall."

Grandma Xu then looked towards Zhou Shuyan and said, "My children have all gone to the city to work, and I live alone at home. Because of my age, living alone is somewhat inconvenient. As for the land at home, others are cultivating it. After harvesting, because I cannot sell the produce alone, I would have to turn the produce over to the strong and young villagers who then take a cut from the sales. If you are around, you can help me handle this and I wouldn't have to pay others as much. Since you'll be eating and staying at my place, after deducting the costs of board, I'll give you some salary. How does that sound?"

Zhou Shuyan hadn't expected that, although Grandma Xu had lived in the village her whole life, with the farthest she had probably ever been being Hetai Town, she had such calculations in her mind.

Grateful, Zhou Shuyan nodded, "Thank you."

He couldn't conveniently return to the Imperial Capital right now.

Given that the man had been deliberately set up, rushing back to the Imperial Capital would only put him in danger.

Moreover, now, without even an ID card, how could he travel back?

The doctor had checked him and he could be discharged from the hospital, but he would still need to rest afterwards, unable to do strenuous exercise or heavy work.

Afterward, Zhou Shuyan followed Grandma Xu and Lu Youxi back to Hexing Village.

On the road, Lu Youxi said, "You don't remember your own name, but you'll still need a temporary name for us to call you."
