Love is as vast as the Milky Way, impossible to cross.

Throughout the entire process, Huo Muchen's movements were clean and efficient, without the slightest hesitation.

A gasp rippled through the bar as everyone turned to look. Gu Heng and Chen Shu, who were in a private room, also came out to see what was going on.

Upon seeing that it was Huo Muchen, the two men's expressions changed drastically, and they quickly ran downstairs, with the people in the private room following closely behind.

"careful,"

Lin Xiangyao's voice came from behind.

Huo Muchen had just turned around when he heard this when a dull thud came from above him as a wine bottle smashed hard on his head.

The sound of the shattering bottle exploded in his ears, and pain shot through his body like an electric shock. He frowned, feeling a warm liquid trickle down his forehead, blurring his vision.

Blood quickly flowed down his eyebrows, warm and viscous, like a red stream slowly dripping down his brow.

Huo Muchen's world was instantly stained crimson, and the blood dripping into his eyes made the scene in front of him appear blurry.

Huo Muchen took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger and pain in his heart. He reached out and wiped his fingers, finding them covered in thick, sticky blood.

His eyes, bathed in blood, grew even sharper, as if they could pierce through all illusions. In that instant, he saw the other person's狰狞 (zhengning - ferocious/hideous) face.

The man held a bottle of wine and looked at him with a smug expression, as if he could already see him fall.

However, Huo Muchen did not do as he wished. He suddenly kicked out, like a cheetah striking, unstoppable.

Before the man's smile could even fade, Huo Muchen kicked him, sending him flying. He crashed heavily to the ground with a scream.

The drunkard's friends began to gather around, and Gu Heng and Chen Shu's group arrived shortly after. The scene instantly became tense, and the air was thick with tension.

"You fucking don't want to live anymore, do you?"

As Gu Heng spoke, he swung his fist at the other person, and the two instantly started fighting, creating a chaotic scene.

Gu Heng's group consisted of wealthy and noble young men who had practiced Taekwondo and Sanda since childhood, so their skills were naturally exceptional.

The drunkards' friends were clearly no match for them and were quickly beaten without any chance to fight back.

Huo Muchen stood there, letting the blood drip from his forehead.

"How are you? Let me take you to the hospital,"

Gu Heng said worriedly,

Huo Muchen raised his hand to wipe his forehead, which was no longer bleeding much, and said...

"I'm fine,"

He turned and glanced at Lin Xiangyao, who was already terrified, and continued:

"You take her home later, I'm leaving now."

He then walked towards the door. Lin Xiangyao only then realized what was happening and tried to chase after Huo Muchen, but Gu Heng beside her held her back.

"Let's go, I'll take you home,"

Watching Huo Muchen walk away, Lin Xiangyao could only nod to Zhang Qian and whisper:

"Okay, thank you"

However, her gaze remained fixed on the direction Huo Muchen had left in.

It was quite late when Liu Shiyin finished visiting her mother. Her mother's condition had been fluctuating throughout the day; she usually went to bed early, but tonight she wouldn't sleep no matter how she was coaxed.

After finally settling her mother in, it was almost midnight. After leaving the hospital, Liu Shiyin hailed a taxi to return to the Huo residence.

The taxi drove smoothly through the night. Liu Shiyin leaned against the window, gazing at the flashing neon lights outside, silently praying that her mother's condition would improve.

Upon arriving at the Huo residence, Liu Shiyin had just gotten out of the car when she heard a screeching sound of brakes. She instinctively turned around and saw Huo Muchen's car parked steadily on the side of the road.

Seeing his car, Liu Shiyin felt a surge of inexplicable excitement.

However, when she saw Huo Muchen step out of the car, her expression froze instantly. His face and body were covered in blood, a shocking sight.

Liu Shiyin's heart sank, overwhelmed by worry and fear. She strode towards Huo Muchen, her voice trembling:

"You... what's wrong with you? How could this happen?"
