"Did you offend someone?" Yeh Hsiao-Nuo asked.
"I don't know, but I do know that many people hate me. Some are jealous because I'm wealthy and want to cause me trouble, while others dislike me because I'm handsome. When the girls they like show interest in me, they hold a grudge and want to make my life difficult," Chen Haoxuan replied with a slight smile.
Yeh Hsiao-Nuo stroked her chin, admiring him like a man would admire a woman. Despite the band-aids on Chen Haoxuan's face preventing her from recognizing him, she thought that with his features and fair skin, he must be quite an attractive person.
"You must be a very outstanding man," Yeh Hsiao-Nuo said.
"I suppose so," Chen Haoxuan answered honestly.
"I wonder if you're looking for a backer? If you have one, others will think twice before trying to bully you," Yeh Hsiao-Nuo said seriously.
Chen Haoxuan understood; it was clear that Yeh Hsiao-Nuo wanted to be his backer, expecting him to pay her protection fees each month. "The people chasing me are quite formidable; they excel at assassination. If you openly protect me, your members will easily become targets for ambushes. They operate in the shadows while you are out in the open; no matter how many of you there are, it won't help," Chen Haoxuan explained.
Hearing Chen Haoxuan's analysis, along with the fact that he had survived so many gunshots, it was evident that he was highly skilled and incredibly resilient. With his wealth and business acumen, if she could bring Chen Haoxuan into the Qingye Gang to help manage her business, her income would surely multiply. She might even convince her father to pass on the leadership of the Qingye Gang to her if she brought in such a talented individual. With this thought in mind, Yeh Hsiao-Nuo nearly drooled as she said to Chen Haoxuan, "Our Qingye Gang has decades of history and has trained countless experts, which is why we maintain our position as leaders in several cities. If you're willing to join us and work under me, we'll send our best experts to help you resolve all your troubles. What do you think? Consider it!"
"Do you really think your gang's experts are as capable as those trained by me?" Chen Haoxuan asked.
"Not really, but we have a few experts who can defeat your subordinates. Plus, we have more people and connections. So even if we're not the strongest, our power is still considerable," Yeh Hsiao-Nuo replied.
"Heh heh heh... You're mistaken. If it's a fair fight, no one can match you. But those pursuing me aren't just any gang; they're assassins who can kill without hesitation using any means necessary—poisoning, ambushes, traps... they resort to even more despicable tactics. And you? You keep talking about chivalry; how can you compare with them?
As for why I asked whether your so-called experts are as good as my subordinates—it's because my subordinates can't defeat me. So think about how formidable those who are after me must be. After hearing this, do you still dare to persuade me to join your Qingye Gang?" Chen Haoxuan said with a mischievous smile.
"Once you resolve this matter, I still hope you can join us at the Qingye Gang," Yeh Hsiao-Nuo awkwardly said. Chen Haoxuan's words truly startled her; she never expected that the people chasing him would be so formidable.
"Hehehe... I'll tell you my name when I leave, and then you won't invite me to join your Qingye Gang anymore," Chen Haoxuan said mysteriously. He felt that the Qingye Gang did not recognize him, so he decided to conceal his identity. Since he had some conflicts with Ye Hongfei, if Yeh Hsiao-Nuo found out about his past with her brother, it might put him in danger. For his own safety, Chen Haoxuan thought it was better to keep his identity hidden.
After chatting with Yeh Hsiao-Nuo for a while, Chen Haoxuan's weak body began to feel drowsy, so he bid her farewell and fell into a deep sleep.
He slept straight through until dinner time in the afternoon. When he woke up, he felt much more energetic, and Yeh Hsiao-Nuo was still there to feed him.
Another day passed, and Chen Haoxuan's injuries healed surprisingly quickly. The next day, he was able to hold a bowl and eat breakfast on his own, looking quite spirited.
Although Chen Haoxuan could eat by himself now, Yeh Hsiao-Nuo insisted on feeding him because each feeding session earned her thirty thousand Renminbi. Such an opportunity was hard to come by!
Yeh Hsiao-Nuo fed Chen Haoxuan two bowls of bird's nest porridge and chatted with him for a while. At around 9 AM, she suddenly stood up and said to Chen Haoxuan, "Let me change your bandages!"
"Oh, that would be troublesome for you," Chen Haoxuan replied awkwardly. He felt a bit nervous, as if something significant was about to happen.
Yeh Hsiao-Nuo carefully changed Chen Haoxuan's bandages. Her serious demeanor made him momentarily stunned; he realized that Yeh Hsiao-Nuo was quite attractive. Her hair was styled up, her eyebrows were thick and unplucked, long eyelashes framed her large eyes, and she had a high nose and full lips that were very sensual. With a heart-shaped face and a curvaceous figure, she exuded an aura of confidence that made her seem strikingly impressive.
Yeh Hsiao-Nuo wasn't conventionally beautiful, but her presence was the most captivating among the girls Chen Haoxuan had ever seen.
As she examined the wound on Chen Haoxuan's head, she gasped in surprise when she unwrapped the bandage: "How... how is this possible?"
"What's wrong? Is the wound infected?" Chen Haoxuan asked anxiously.
"Not really, it's just that your wounds are healing too quickly. The wound on your head has already started to scab over, there is no bleeding, and it hasn't become infected. At this rate, you'll be healed in just a few days. Oh my, is it my medical skills that are good, or is it your body that is resilient?" Yeh Hsiao-Nuo exclaimed in surprise, realizing that Chen Haoxuan's quick recovery meant she would soon receive the over one hundred thousand Renminbi he promised her.
"There are many strange people in the world; my wounds healing quickly isn't that unusual," Chen Haoxuan replied with a smile.
After Yeh Hsiao-Nuo finished changing the bandages on Chen Haoxuan's head, she directly removed all of his clothes, including his underwear, since he had also been shot in the buttocks. Yeh Hsiao-Nuo's face turned slightly red; she dared not look at Chen Haoxuan's face. She had seen men's bodies before, but seeing one up close like this was different. She often treated her injured subordinates and had seen their upper bodies frequently, but this was her first time seeing a man's lower body.
She found Chen Haoxuan to be quite remarkable. Despite being shot multiple times, none of the bullets hit any vital areas, and his wounds were healing so quickly. She believed that Chen Haoxuan was definitely an extraordinary person.
