The man spoke with confidence, and Qiao Ruyi could feel his hot body temperature as soon as her fingertips touched the edge of his pants.

The big hand patted the back of her hand, signaling her to hurry up.

Qiao Ruyi pinched the flat edge of his pants with her fingertips and was about to grit her teeth and pull it down when the doorbell rang.

The ringing of the bell made her withdraw her hand quickly, as if someone would come and see her in the next second.

She quickly pulled the quilt over the man and said, "I'll go open the door."

Looking at her back as she hurried to open the door, Ling Che frowned and clicked his tongue.

When he heard the sound at the door, his brows furrowed even deeper.

"Young Madam?"

Qi Jin and Qi Shui were standing at the door and were obviously startled when they saw the person opening the door.

The simple home clothes she was wearing were wrinkled, and her hair was a little messy. At this moment, the young lady no longer looked as proud and refined as usual.

Qiao Ruyi didn't expect that Qi Jin and Qi Shui were outside the door. "Ling Che is inside. He's injured."

Upon hearing that Young Master Ling was injured, their expressions became even more serious and they quickly moved sideways into the house.

When I arrived at the bedroom, I saw the handsome man with his upper body naked, and a thin blanket draped over his lower waist.

He sat at the head of the bed, a cigarette in his hand.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the two people who came in, and chuckled softly.

Seeing him like this, the two of them quickly admitted their mistakes, "Sorry, Mr. Ling, we are late."

When they received Ling Shao's call, they had already returned to London.

The helicopter flight from London to Bristol takes nearly an hour, and although they tried to shorten the time as much as possible, they were still late.

"Not too late." Ling Che smiled, "Quite timely."

He gritted his teeth and spat out the last three words, which made Qi Jin feel that something was not going well.

"Mr. Ling." Qi Shui didn't notice anything wrong and took a step forward. "The young lady said you were injured. The helicopter is now at the hotel helipad. Do you need to return to London immediately?"

Ling Che raised his hand and took a puff of his cigarette. Seeing someone coming in with a cup of water, he glanced at Qi Shui.

Qi Shui was about to say something when Qi Jin calmly kicked him to shut him up.

Qiao Ruyi handed the warm water to Ling Che and tucked the quilt around his waist. "Are you hungry? I'll go downstairs to buy something to eat."

"Don't leave the hotel." Ling Che warned her.

Qiao Ruyi nodded and walked out.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed outside, Ling Che's gentle look instantly faded, and a hint of sharpness appeared in his eyes.

"Who did it?"

"The people you injured have been taken away by the police. They just said it was a robbery by a black motorcycle gang."

The police just wanted to come up to the hotel to inquire about the situation, but were sent away by Qi Jin.

He handed Ling Che a sealed bag containing two bullet casings that he had picked up in the apartment where the incident occurred.

Ling Che examined the shell in his hand, raised his lips and chuckled, "M1911 pistol."

The M1911 pistol is one of the most famous pistols in the world, but it withdrew from the stage of history after World War II. Now, only mercenary corps can modify this pistol.

But it was obvious that the group of people today were not mercenaries, so there was only one possibility - the other party must have figured out Qiao Ruyi's whereabouts, but did not expect him to be there, so they originally planned to let the biker gang take Qiao Ruyi away, and committing a robbery was also the safest and least costly plan.

"Mr. Ling, we've asked headquarters to check that phone number," Qi Jin said. "It's currently unavailable, but the location is confirmed to be Country Y."

Ling Che sneered, "As soon as I arrived in Country Y, I was targeted."

Qi Shui noticed his injury and said with a serious expression, "Mr. Ling, the general asked me to ask you, are you going back to headquarters?"

"What the hell!" Ling Che twisted his cigarette and frowned at him, "Can you be more thoughtful when you speak next time? Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask in front of Qiao Ruyi."

Qi Jin quickly lowered his head, "Yes, Mr. Ling."

The conversation between the three ended with the sound of the door opening. Qiao Ruyi came in with the packed food and saw Qi Jin and Qi Shui standing aside, like students standing in the corner as punishment.

The person sitting at the head of the bed looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

He didn't go to the hospital, but Qiao Ruyi was still worried about his injury, so she asked Qi Jin and Qi Shui to find a doctor to see him.

After the two of them left, Qiao Ruyi opened the box of drugs on the bedside table.

The man's eyes followed the movements of her hands, and then he heard Qiao Ruyi say quietly, "When I went downstairs just now, I saw that the moon was bright and the stars were sparse outside. It wasn't a thunderstorm."

The man hummed absentmindedly, his eyes fixed on her hand that was serving the soup.

"A helicopter can also fly here from London." Qiao Ruyi blinked at him, "Isn't that right, Mr. Ling?"

Ling Che reacted, blinked his eyes, suddenly frowned, and cried out, "It hurts."

"Come on this."

Qiao Ruyi sat beside his bed, blew on the soup in the spoon, handed it to his mouth, and exposed his lie, "So you deliberately stayed at my place tonight."

"Tsk, you found out." Ling Che drank the soup from her hand. Perhaps the painkiller took effect, and he looked much better.

"So you're not without a place to go." Qiao Ruyi looked at him intently. "If I'm not mistaken, you booked this hotel the day you arrived in Bristol, right?"

She had guessed it all. Ling Che looked at her eagerly, "Are you angry?"

Qiao Ruyi shook her head. If it were before, she would definitely care about it.

But there is nothing to worry about now. If it weren't for Ling Che, she would probably be dead.

She handed the spoon to his mouth and smiled, "I never thought you were so cunning before."

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Ling Che also smiled, "Just think of it as you praising me."

He pushed the soup that Qiao Ruyi handed over and said, "I can't drink it anymore. You drink it."

He actually didn't have much of an appetite, he just wanted to find an excuse to ask Qiao Ruyi to leave for a while.

Qiao Ruyi had no appetite either, but she just saw them talking so she made an excuse to go out.

Neither of them could eat, so they put the soup aside. Soon the doctor came over.

After a thorough examination, the doctor told Qiao Ruyi, "There were no vital injuries, but the bullet had a strong shattering force, nearly breaking bones and piercing the lungs. In this case, it's best to rest for a while, especially avoid strenuous exercise."

Qiao Ruyi didn't hear any other meaning in this sentence and wrote it all down. On the contrary, when Ling Che heard the last four words, he frowned in dissatisfaction.

The doctor gave Qiao Ruyi some blood-dispersing medicine and gave her some precautions.

Qiao Ruyi thanked them, and Qi Jin and Qi Shui sent the doctor out.

When I returned to the bedroom, the person on the bed was already asleep.

Perhaps he was too exhausted from the pain, so he lay on the bed with his upper body naked, half of his face buried in the pillow, and the thin quilt just covering his waist.

Qiao Ruyi walked to the side of the bed and saw his shocking back at a glance, and her heart ached again.

The phone on the bedside table lit up again. It was Ling Che's phone.

Qiao Ruyi had just brought over a basin of hot water and was about to wipe Ling Che's body when she caught a glimpse of her lit cell phone. After a moment's hesitation, she picked it up and turned it on.

She had never checked Ling Che's phone in the past few years, but the moment she picked up the phone, her fingerprint accidentally touched the phone and it turned on.

She looked up at the man on the bed in surprise. She never knew that her fingerprint could open Ling Che's phone.

There was an unfamiliar text message on the phone.

[Do you feel the rhythm of the game starting? Next, let's play slowly. ]

Qiao Ruyi trembled violently and her phone almost fell into the basin of water.

She turned her head to look at the man, quickly deleted the text message, turned off the phone and put it where it was.
