Bai Wenrou couldn't help but roll her eyes at Ye Xuan, her pretty face slightly blushing as she scolded, "You, at this time, aren't serious. I'm discussing something important with you. Did you see that person? Did you kill him?"

In response, Ye Xuan shrugged, showing an innocent expression, and said, "Of course I didn't... kill him!"

"Really?"

Bai Wenrou was skeptical and looked at him with disbelief.

Just now, she clearly heard screams coming from the other side, and at that time, Ye Xuan had just gone over! So, she guessed that the person was most likely killed by Ye Xuan, so she sought confirmation from him.

"I originally planned to kill him, but then I changed my mind! Because..."

Ye Xuan's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he suddenly stepped forward, reaching out to lift Bai Wenrou's chin, only to have her dodge away warily.

Shrugging, Ye Xuan didn't mind and said with a faint smile, "Didn't you say you didn't want me to kill anyone? So I spared him for your sake, and handed him over to the police! See how good I am to you?"

Bai Wenrou furrowed her brows and asked, "Did you really not kill him?"

"Of course! If you don't believe me, you can go over and check. He's still fainted over there."

Ye Xuan pointed to the building opposite and changed the subject, "But, I don't mind if you do that! Because your aunt has been shot and is lying in the warehouse. She needs to be taken to the hospital immediately, that's the urgent matter right now."

Bai Wenrou came to her senses and quickly nodded, "Okay, I'll take my aunt to the hospital right away! But what about these people? How about you stay and watch over them?"

Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, "Watch them for what? Am I bored with nothing to do? If anyone should be watched, it's you, the big beauty! Just call the police to come and arrest them."

"But... what if they wake up and escape while we're gone?" Bai Wenrou retorted.

"Come on, my dear beautiful comrade Bai, can you worry about your aunt? She's been shot! Are these criminals more important or is your family more important? Besides, I've knocked them out, they won't wake up for at least an hour and can't escape! That's plenty of time for the police to arrive and arrest them! And even if they do escape, don't you think the police can catch them?"

Ye Xuan was bemused, not understanding what this woman was thinking? She was still concerned about the criminals at a time like this.

"Alright, let's do as you say, take my aunt to the hospital!"

Bai Wenrou realized Ye Xuan made some sense and said with some embarrassment.

"Okay, you start the car, and I'll carry your aunt over."

After saying this to Bai Wenrou, Ye Xuan turned back into the warehouse and carried the injured Hu Liping out again, with Bai Wenrou immediately rushing over to help.

The two of them together placed Hu Liping on the back seat, and Ye Xuan then got into the car, sitting at the head of the seat, gently supporting her head on his arm for support, and raising his thigh to use as a cushion before closing the car door.

Bai Wenrou returned to the driver's seat and started the car immediately, with two strong beams penetrating Qingjiang Pier's darkness, speeding into the distance.

Before long, the car sped out of the eerie Underworld-like Qingjiang Pier, racing towards the hospital!

"Ugh..."

At this moment, Hu Liping, lying on the car seat, let out a low moan of pain. Perhaps the bumpy ride caused her discomfort, her brows furrowing tightly.

Although the bleeding had been stopped, it still couldn't alleviate the intense pain!

Seeing this, Ye Xuan immediately placed his hand on her injured left shoulder, gently massaging the acupoints there. As he continued, her moaning gradually decreased, and her tightly knitted brows relaxed, apparently easing her pain.

While continuing to massage, Ye Xuan asked, "Aunt, do you feel any better?"

"Young man, I feel much better, thank you," Hu Liping said weakly, her face pale as she looked at Ye Xuan.

"No need to thank me, Aunt, it's what I should do!" Ye Xuan replied with a smile.

"Young man, I still don't know your name."

Hu Liping took a few breaths, looking at Ye Xuan with gentle eyes and asked.

"I'm Ye Xuan, Ye like 'leaf' and Xuan from 'Xuan Yuan'." Ye Xuan answered.

"Ye Xuan? That's a nice name."

Hu Liping muttered, smiled, and then asked Ye Xuan, "Are you a colleague of our Xiao Rou?"

She had speculated before about what specific relationship Ye Xuan and Bai Wenrou had, as well as his identity! Including whether they were colleagues, friends, or even... lovers.

But after some consideration, she leaned towards them being colleagues, thinking that Ye Xuan, like Bai Wenrou, was likely a police officer! After all, with such good skills and ability, and acting together with Bai Ru, it seemed more likely that he was also a police officer!

As for them being boyfriend and girlfriend, she also considered it, but eventually ruled it out.

Because she had never heard of Bai Wenrou being in a relationship, nor any word of her being close with any man — how could a boyfriend suddenly appear? Furthermore, Zheng Guofeng was with Bai Wenrou every day and never mentioned it, making it even less possible.

Ye Xuan shook his head and said, "Auntie, we are not colleagues."

Not?

Hu Liping paused and asked again, "Then what is your relationship?"

Could it really be that Ye Xuan is Bai Wenrou's boyfriend, but why is there no sign of it? Could they be secretly seeing each other?

This was truly Hu Liping overthinking it!

Even if Ye Xuan was willing to secretly date her, Bai Wenrou wouldn't agree. She was eager to stay away from this big pervert Ye Xuan! Otherwise, wouldn't she be gobbled down to the bone?

"Auntie, we're just friends! But don't think too much, merely ordinary friends, not boyfriend and girlfriend." Ye Xuan smiled, explaining.

"There's no need for you to say the rest, no one wants to be your boyfriend or girlfriend, don't flatter yourself!"

In front, Bai Wenrou, who was driving, coldly replied.

She was worried that Ye Xuan would say nonsense in front of Hu Liping, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief!

Yet seeing that Ye Xuan genuinely clarified their relationship, she felt a bit irritated. Was she really that lacking in charm? No spark of interest from him at all!?

Ye Xuan was taken aback, unsure what he said wrong to make this young lady unhappy, like she'd swallowed explosives.

Hu Liping was puzzled, looking at the two of them with suspicion, not understanding their current situation!

Then, she looked gently at Ye Xuan again and asked, "Xiao Ye, what work are you doing now?"

"Auntie, I'm currently a sales manager at a company," Ye Xuan replied with a smile.
