On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Inside the tent, Gu Heting took off his outer clothes, revealing several cuts and bloody gashes, as well as numerous fist marks on his chest and back. His skin was bruised, swollen, and red. Xu Yuan's tears welled up with heartache.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, it's all my fault." Xu Yuan blamed herself for everything.

If she hadn't been so oblivious to the bodyguard's treachery, he wouldn't have been lured into the trap alone, let alone faced an attack from four people by himself.

Gu Heting's gaze softened. "Don't cry. It has nothing to do with you. You are a victim too."

Xu Yuan fought back her tears and took out some things from the first-aid kit, saying, "Your wound is too big and needs stitches to stop the bleeding, but we don't have any anesthetic on us, so please bear with it."

Gu Heting nodded. "Go ahead and sew it! I can bear it."

The thought of him enduring such pain brought tears to Xu Yuan's eyes again, but she had to steel herself and sew him up.

Xu Yuan's hand holding the needle trembled slightly, but she still tried her best to sew him up neatly. However, each time the needle pierced his skin, it felt as if it was also piercing her heart. Finally, after seven stitches, she continued to stop the bleeding and bandage him.

After treating the bleeding wound, she took out the ointment and applied it to his red and swollen area, rubbing it in to help the medicine seep into his skin.

Gu Heting didn't utter a sound from beginning to end, but his forehead was covered in sweat. Xu Yuan picked up a towel and reached out to wipe his sweat. Gu Heting looked over, and the two of them were very close.

Xu Yuan couldn't care less about being shy at this moment. She looked at him with concern and said, "You're in danger. You need to be careful in the future."

"I know." Gu Heting smiled slightly. Seeing that there was sweat on her forehead, he reached out and wiped it away for her. Xu Yuan then lowered her head shyly and used the towel that had been used to wipe his sweat to wipe her own face.

Her undisgusted attitude brought a smile to Gu Heting's face. Although he was injured, it made him realize her feelings.

"Xiaoyuan, when we get back this time, I will definitely thank you properly," Gu Heting said.

Xu Yuan smiled and said, "No need, this is what I should do."

Because of this danger, everyone was on high alert. The bodyguards didn't dare to relax either, and they were on high alert for two consecutive days. Gao Yang called the police as soon as he got a cell phone signal, and the police were already on their way from a nearby county.

After traveling for two days and two nights, they finally emerged from the edge of the primeval forest. Three police cars were waiting for them there, and Gao Yang immediately went up to them and told them about the dangers they had encountered.

He didn't say that those people were after Gu Heting, but only that there were dangerous individuals among them, and that the police should be on the lookout for suspicious people in the vicinity.

With police protection, their journey back to the city was very smooth, and Gu Heting chartered a plane to get back to City A as soon as possible.

On the plane, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and took the time to rest. Gu Heting's wound was a little infected, so he could only wait until City A to get it treated.

Xu Yuan looked at him with heartache from time to time. This adventure felt like a dream. She had brushed past death and gained Gu Heting’s meticulous care and protection.

Three hours later, the plane landed at A City Airport. The shuttle bus that had been sent earlier had arrived. Xu Yuan asked her team members to take the samples back to the laboratory to keep them incubated, while she accompanied Gu Heting to the hospital.

In the outpatient department of the First People's Hospital of City A, as soon as Gu Heting's wound was exposed, a middle-aged female nurse said, "Miss, why did you only bring your boyfriend here now! Look, the wound is inflamed and swollen. Do you know how dangerous this is?"

"I know, could you please take care of him?" Xu Yuan said hurriedly, but she didn't refute the nurse's mention of her boyfriend.

"Nurse, could you give him some anesthesia?"

"Okay, but it will still hurt a little."

Gu Heting laughed and said, "I can endure it."

Xu Yuan looked at him with nothing but admiration. On the mountain, he didn't utter a sound even without being given anesthesia. If it were her, she would have cried herself hoarse.

Gu Heting didn't plan to tell anyone about the incident, and he didn't want Su Meifen and Su Chenxi to worry, as they needed to take care of their father who was in the hospital.

At that moment, inside a villa, an angry voice roared, "What are you all doing? So many of you ganged up on one person and he still managed to leave alive?"

“We didn’t expect Gu Heting to be such a good fighter. However, we’ve already sent that bodyguard out of the country. He shouldn’t implicate you. We’ll stay in City A and continue to look for opportunities to strike.”

"You absolutely cannot fail next time, otherwise you won't get a single penny."

"Understood, Mr. Shen. We will certainly not let you down."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yaohui angrily threw it away. He thought his nephew would never come back this time, and he had already made preparations to take over the company. But unexpectedly, the nephew still managed to escape back.

"It seems we have to formally declare war." A ruthless glint flashed in Shen Yaohui's eyes. He believed his good nephew must know that he was the one who did it, but he had no evidence and couldn't do anything to him.

After leaving the hospital, Gu Heting took Xu Yuan home. She had suffered so much in the mountains, she deserved to rest for a couple of days.

"Brother Gu, go back and rest early." Xu Yuan waved to him.

"Okay! Contact me if you need anything." Gu Heting nodded, and at that moment, the driver in front stepped on the gas and drove off. Gu Heting wanted to take another look at Xu Yuan, but now he could only glare at the driver sullenly.

Xu Yuan watched the car speed away, couldn't help but smile, and turned to go home.

Xu Yuan didn't dare tell her family about this adventurous trip. Otherwise, if her parents knew that she had almost been killed by wolves, they would be so scared that they wouldn't be able to sleep.

"Yuanyuan, you're back. Come here, Mom wants you to see someone." Xu's mother quickly waved to her daughter.

Seeing her mother's posture, Xu Yuan knew that she had found another blind date. She could only lean against her mother and ask, "Mom, what's wrong?"

"Hey, what do you think of this one? Isn't it more handsome than the previous ones?"

Xu Yuan leaned closer to look at the man in the photo. He was indeed very young and handsome, but not her type. She laughed and said, "Mom, this man looks younger than me."

"He's only a year younger, and being younger isn't necessarily a bad thing." Mrs. Xu was increasingly satisfied with what she saw.

"Mom, it's not that your daughter can't get married, so don't worry about it." Xu Yuan said with a tired look on her face. "I'm going back to my room to take a shower and rest."

"What's that smell on you? Have you been so busy that you haven't showered for days? You're a girl, you need to be clean." Xu's mother immediately nagged.

Xu Yuan immediately grabbed her sleeve and sniffed it, "Mom, do I smell bad?"

Xu's mother commented bluntly, "It stinks!"

It wasn't really smelly, but it had a musty smell like unwashed clothes.

"Ah!" Xu Yuan couldn't believe it and let out a scream before rushing into her bathroom.

She took a good shower and washed her hair, thinking about how she had spent the past few days with Gu Heting, and wondered if he had smelled it.
