She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

More than two hours later, Yu Tian drove the three of them back to the villa.

Because of the excessive blood loss, Fang Li's clothes and pants were covered in bloodstains. The bloodstains on her arms had been cleaned off, but the bloodstains on her clothes were spreading and looked frighteningly red.

Especially when the blood dries and hardens, the stiff clothes stick to her body, and the smell of blood fills her nostrils. As soon as the car stopped, Fang Li couldn't wait to get out and go back to change her clothes.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as they entered the main house, a figure on the sofa immediately stood up.

The girl clenched her hands nervously, her eyes filled with worry: "Um... are you alright?"

She asked the question, then frowned in regret. She had seen the bloody wound before; how could it be alright?

Her face was full of guilt: "I didn't know Han Shiyu would bring her dog with her when she asked me to come here. I thought she just wanted to go for a walk. I... I really didn't expect the dog to suddenly go crazy. I stopped her earlier and told her not to bring the dog upstairs..."

She said so much, but Fang Li just stared at her without saying a word.

Perhaps feeling that saying more wouldn't help, the girl lowered her head regretfully: "I'm sorry."

Han Shiyu was not in the living room; she was alone.

The other servants had already cleaned up the bloodstains on the second floor, and now they stood anxiously in the distance with their heads down.

Fang Li looked at the girl opposite her, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly asked, "Are you here to see Han Xi?"

The girl seemed surprised that she would call Han Xi by her full name. She paused for a moment and whispered, "It was Han Shiyu who wanted to come. I was dragged here by her."

A face flashed through Fang Li's mind, and she frowned: "Han Shiyu?"

Before the girl could speak, Aunt Rong explained, "She is the third wife's child, and is considered Mr. Han's cousin. She has visited the villa on the hillside a few times before, but always with the old lady or Chairman Han."

It turned out to be the case.

Thinking of the look in her eyes when they first met at Jin Ding Zhai, Fang Li couldn't help but lower her gaze. Since she was Han Xi's cousin, why did she look at her like that?

"What is she doing here?" Fang Li asked.

“She said she hadn’t been to the hillside villa in a long time and wanted to come and have a look around…” The girl couldn’t help but explain again, “I really didn’t know she would be bringing Benny.”

Looking at the genuine guilt and remorse on her face, Fang Li hesitated for a moment before speaking softly, "This has nothing to do with you. I don't blame you. You can go now."

"You...you really don't blame me?"

Fang Li looked at her: "But there's something I need to ask you."

“Go ahead,” the girl said solicitously.

"Please don't tell Han Xi about what happened today."

"...Why?" the girl asked, puzzled.

Fang Li's gaze was calm: "I know you two have a close relationship, and I believe you don't want me to get too much attention from him, so please keep this a secret. Don't worry, I will explain everything to him when he comes back this time. I am no match for you, and I respect all his choices."

"you......."

"Alright, I'm feeling a bit dizzy and want to go upstairs to rest for a while. Aunt Rong, could you please help me entertain the guests?"

After Fang Li finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs without waiting for the girl's reaction.

After she returned to her room, the girl looked at Aunt Rong with a puzzled expression: "Aunt Rong, what did she mean by those words?"

Aunt Rong, still shaken from fright, shook her head with a worried expression.

The girl couldn't help but look at Yu Tian beside her, only to find him staring at her with a cold gaze. She quickly looked away.

Forget it, she should just leave first. Regardless of what the other person means, she should just do as they say, lest someone come back and make her the first target of their anger!

The old Han family residence at that time.

After taking Benny to the vet for treatment, Han Shiyu returned home and gradually began to feel fear.

Seeing that she looked off when she came in, Han Yi, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, casually asked, "What happened? Why do you seem so distracted?"

At this moment, Han Xi's father, Han Ming, also came downstairs.

Seeing Han Shiyu's pale face, Han Ming's eyes flashed with worry, and he walked over to her with concern: "Are you feeling unwell?"

Han Shiyu remained silent.

It wasn't until Han Yi, who was watching TV, noticed that something was wrong with her, turned off the TV, and got up to walk towards her that she suddenly snapped out of her daze, her face turning flustered and helpless.

"Dad, Uncle, I...I think I've gotten into trouble..."

This was the first time the two of them had ever seen the fearless little princess of the Han family show such a frightened expression.

Han Shiyu clenched her hands, her whole body tense. Thinking of the wound on Fang Li's arm, her eyes reddened and she was about to cry.

That woman was so badly injured by her dog; when my second brother comes back and finds out, he probably won't let her off easily.

Although we don't yet know the woman's status in my second brother's heart, judging from the fact that he arranged for her to stay in the villa halfway up the mountain, she clearly holds some weight.

what to do......

Han Yi and Han Ming exchanged a glance and then looked at Han Shiyu.

"What are you crying about? Tell me what trouble you've caused!" Han Yi said impatiently.

Han Ming glanced at him and frowned slightly: "Don't be afraid, Shiyu. No matter what happens, your father and uncle are here. We won't let anything happen to you."

Han Shiyu bit her lip and hesitated for a long time before slowly speaking: "Today I took Benny to the villa on the hillside. I don't know what happened to Benny, but she suddenly lunged out and bit someone."

"A villa on the hillside?" Han Ming's expression changed slightly: "Who did it bite?"

Han Shiyu lowered her eyes in fear: "A woman. She was coming out of my second brother's room when Benny suddenly lunged at her. I couldn't stop her..."

Upon hearing this, Han Yi looked at Han Ming beside him with a deep gaze.

Han Ming's eyes darkened slightly. "You mean your second brother is keeping a woman at the villa halfway up the mountain?"

Han Shiyu nodded.

Han Ming's expression turned slightly cold, revealing a hint of disdain: "You didn't do it on purpose. It's just a woman, so what if you bit her? Don't worry, with me here, your second brother won't do anything to you."

Han Shiyu, however, did not think so.

The relationship between the eldest uncle and the second brother was already tense. In the entire Han family, the second brother was only somewhat obedient to his grandfather; everyone else...

Seeing the fear still on her face, Han Ming patted her shoulder to comfort her, saying, "Besides, it was that woman who suddenly opened the door and scared Benny. If she hadn't opened the door, Benny wouldn't have been able to bite her. This isn't your fault. If your second brother is angry, just have him come find me."

Hearing Han Ming say this, Han Shiyu was stunned.

Then, her panicked gaze gradually calmed down, and a glint of triumph flashed in her long eyelashes where Han Ming couldn't see.

...Master bedroom of a hillside villa.

Fang Li returned to her room alone. As the surroundings became quiet, the anesthesia that the doctor had given her during the stitching seemed to be wearing off, and the wound on her arm began to ache terribly.

It came in waves, like thousands of tiny needles piercing and pricking.
