"Boss, she was injured protecting you. Do you think I could protect both you and your sister if I had to divide my attention?"
Ning Beichen thought about it and decided to tell her the truth. Although Feng Wu had come to kill her, she was later subdued by him and assigned to protect her. Regardless, she had done Liu Yilin a great favor.
"Feng Wu is no ordinary woman. Someone who can injure her to this extent is not simple. Boss, your situation is very dangerous. Do not leave this house tonight, and neither should your sister."
Ning Beichen said to her.
Because he had to take care of Feng Wu tonight and wouldn't have the capacity to protect them, staying in the house was the safest option.
However, as soon as Ning Beichen finished speaking, he saw Liu Yilin's expression change. She urgently said to Ning Beichen, "Oh no, my sister just went out."
"When was this?"
Ning Beichen was taken aback.
"About an hour ago. She said she was going out for a bit, and I didn't pay too much attention. Ning Beichen, won't she be in trouble?"
Liu Yilin asked worriedly.
"She'll be fine. Don't worry. The enemy might not be after you. They might be after Feng Wu."
Ning Beichen analyzed calmly.
"Can her phone be reached?"
Ning Beichen immediately asked.
"I'll try."
Liu Yilin took out her phone and dialed Liu Yixin's number, but the call couldn't be connected. This immediately made Liu Yilin anxious. She quickly called home and her relatives and friends, but everyone replied that Liu Yixin had not been to their place.
"Don't worry, leave it to me."
Ning Beichen soothed her, then took out his phone and made a call to someone. After a while, Ning Beichen hung up and said.
"Your sister is fine. She just went to get her hair done. Her phone might have no signal or be out of battery. Don't worry, I've already arranged for someone to protect her."
"Really?"
Liu Yilin asked urgently.
"Yes, a friend I met while working before is protecting her. Don't worry."
Ning Beichen continued to use his incredibly fake story, yet Liu Yilin believed him. Anyone else wouldn't have.
Hearing Ning Beichen say this, Liu Yilin finally felt relieved. Looking at Feng Wu lying on Ning Beichen's bed, she began to worry and say.
"Miss's injuries are so severe. Are you really not going to send her to the hospital? If you're worried about money, I have some..."
"No, the hospital can't treat her injuries. It would only cause a lot of unnecessary trouble. I'll handle it first. Boss, can you get me a basin of water?"
Ning Beichen said to her.
"Okay, I'll go right away."
Liu Yilin said immediately.
Ning Beichen directly tore open Feng Wu's injured clothing and saw the black wound and its shape, which caused an extremely rare look of anger to appear on Ning Beichen's face.
It was a wound caused by the Demonic Scar. No wonder Feng Wu was so severely injured.
The Demonic Scar was a very special weapon used by only one force in the world, the reviled Evil Spirit Knights.
Ning Beichen glanced at Feng Wu. She had already fainted. He then found a knife, sterilized it with alcohol and fire, and began to cut away the rotten parts of her wound.
Even though Feng Wu was unconscious, she still let out a pained, involuntary cry.
But Ning Beichen remained unmoved, continuing to dig out the black parts of her wound with the knife until the surrounding area returned to normal.
Throughout the entire process, Liu Yilin dared not even look. She couldn't even imagine how Ning Beichen could be so ruthless.
With Feng Wu's cries, Ning Beichen cut away all the black parts of her wound. A large amount of blood gushed out from the wound, dyeing Ning Beichen's bed red.
Ning Beichen handled it calmly and steadily, his hands not even trembling. Whether one was a killer or a bounty hunter, their bodies were covered in scars. Ning Beichen was no exception.
Furthermore, Ning Beichen wasn't born "King Yama" overnight. He earned that title through real combat.
After treating the wound, Ning Beichen took out a small bottle of black liquid from his briefcase and evenly applied it to Feng Wu's wound, murmuring to himself.
"Feng Wu, you're lucky. If it weren't for me, few people in this world could save you. And among those capable of saving you, there are less than three who would. With your abilities, you wouldn't be able to find them anyway."
Ning Beichen was very careful and treasured the black liquid, absolutely not using any more than necessary. It was evident that this bottle of black liquid was extraordinary.
After applying the liquid, Ning Beichen took cotton and gauze from Liu Yilin's first-aid kit and bandaged her wound.
After the treatment, Feng Wu, though still unconscious, no longer had a look of pain on her face. Instead, she appeared tired and weary.
Ning Beichen was also very exhausted. The procedure he just performed, though seemingly simple, required absolute precision. Especially when cutting the flesh of the wound, he had to be focused to avoid cutting any blood vessels or meridians.
"Is this lady alright now?"
Liu Yilin asked, still trembling. She didn't know how Ning Beichen knew so many strange friends. It seemed like every single one of his friends was extraordinary.
"As long as she makes it through tonight, she'll be fine."
Ning Beichen said as he cleaned up the room and the bloodstains on the floor.
"Ning Beichen, were the people who tried to kill me the same ones as last time?"
Liu Yilin asked, biting her lip.
"Not the same people as last time. These newcomers are much more formidable. However, Boss, you don't need to worry too much. As long as I'm here, they absolutely won't be able to harm you."
"I just hope their target this time was Feng Wu, not you."
Ning Beichen said to her.
It wasn't that Ning Beichen feared them, but rather that this Knights Order using the Demonic Scar was very troublesome. These guys were like madmen; you couldn't judge their actions with the mindset of a normal person. These madmen would do anything.
"Why? Do they just hate my existence that much?"
Liu Yilin couldn't understand at all.
The chip she developed was not for personal gain, but for the benefit of global technological advancement. In her understanding, they should be happy and proud of her.
"Boss, human nature is selfish. Your existence obstructs their wealth. To some people, you are the greatest villain."
Ning Beichen had to explain it to her. He fully understood the thoughts of those people; they would absolutely not allow such high-tech items to escape their control.
