How could I possibly be confined in a cage?

After hearing what was said, Xu Wensheng inevitably began to feel anxious.

One moment he regrets his unwarranted curiosity, the next he's itching to try it out.

Qingru waited quietly, waiting for him to make his own decision.

After a while, Xu Wensheng slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, I'll help you with this."

Seeing him thump his chest loudly, Qingru smiled, "Then thank you very much, but we've been out for too long, so we should go back as soon as possible. Dr. Xu, do you think Guo Zixing's condition can be treated after we return to Sifang City?"

Xu Wensheng thought for a moment, "It should be possible. His brain was damaged, and it won't heal all at once. Going back home might help him recover faster."

Qingru was relieved. Originally, she planned to wait until Guo Zixing fully remembered before taking him back, but that would be too slow. She could just take him back for treatment. It's not like Sifang City doesn't have hospitals.

Xu Wensheng grabbed a few clothes and was about to leave when he suddenly became curious.

"Well, I've been completely honest with you, so could you... let me see what you look like?"

To be honest, Qingru was dressed loosely and acted like a teenager. However, he still really wanted to see her face in person and how Qingru managed to portray her so convincingly.

Qingru paused for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Okay."

Since we've already said all that, there's no point in being coy anymore; we might as well be more outgoing.

She untied the cloth that bound her long hair, and a head of jet-black, shiny hair fell down, cascading over her shoulders and covering most of her face.

It's just that I haven't washed myself properly in a long time, and it's all greasy. The skin peeking out from the small gap behind my ears is incredibly fair, a stark contrast to the sallow complexion on my face.

Xu Wensheng froze, somewhat surprised.

It turned out that Qingru's dark complexion was an act, but judging from her features, she was definitely not unattractive. While not exactly stunned by her beauty, one could tell she was a beauty.

Once he could see clearly, Qingru put her hair up again, wrapped it with a strip of cloth, and then weighed it down with a hat.

The fleeting glimpse of her stunning appearance vanished in an instant, and she was back to being a disheveled little kid.

Xu Wensheng was delighted; the feeling that he also knew the secret was wonderful.

After the two returned to the hospital, Xu Wensheng gave the order, and Jiang Shen was moved to a ward. The fluid in his leg was drained, and the other wounds were properly treated.

Upon seeing the name "Lü Shen" written on the medical record, Jiang Shen's lips twitched. "Why don't you call yourself Jiang Qing?"

Qingru said, "Don't worry about it so much. I have something to tell you."

Jiang Shen put down the medical record and said seriously, "I also have something to ask you."

Qingru shrugged. "I'll go first."

Jiang Shen remained calm and composed, waiting to see what she would say.

"Now Dr. Xu is on our side. He first figured out my gender, then forced me to reveal my true purpose. Now he has been won over by the promises I made and is determined to work with us to rescue Guo Zixing."

Jiang Shen frowned, and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure? What if he has ulterior motives?"

Qingru said, "Of course I didn't tell you everything, I just picked out what I could say. For example, I didn't tell you our true identities, I only said that we are siblings and that we are Guo Zixing's subordinates. The identity of Guo Zixing's eldest son is quite convincing, don't worry, there are always people who want to follow us."

Jiang Shen was still worried. "If only you were really that smart. It seems you're not suited to be an underground party member at all. You let everything slip out at the slightest fright."

Qingru retorted, "I also only showed a fraction of what I had, and besides, we really need help right now. Look, you've actually received treatment, haven't you? At worst, once you're better, you can sneak back to Sifang City and bring people to snatch Guo Zixing back."

Jiang Shen sighed, "I've considered all of this. If it weren't for the fact that there are Green Gang members everywhere in Shanghai, we would have escaped back long ago. You're right, maybe we need his help."

Qingru wholeheartedly agreed, "Then what do you want to ask?"

Jiang Shen said awkwardly, "That's all. Now I know why you're so resourceful and managed to get me into a private room."

Qingru chuckled, "I thought it was something serious. Alright, you just stay put. Look at me now, I'm not as busy as before. This proves that when you're away from home, you still need to rely on friends and find help when necessary."

While talking, he quickly tidied up the room. Jiang Sheng had just changed his dressing, and the used gauze could be washed and reused next time.

From that day on, Qingru followed Xu Wensheng around, practically becoming his personal assistant, and Jiang Shen's health improved day by day.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Wensheng was overjoyed after receiving a phone call.

"Xiao Lü, get ready, Young Master Guo is coming for a follow-up examination."

Qingru also asked happily, "Really?"

Xu Wensheng nodded, "But don't make it too obvious. Yuan Yue'e is keeping such a close watch on him, there's no way she'll let him out alone."

As if doused with cold water, Qingru was disappointed for a moment, but quickly recovered.

"I understand, don't worry."

The Yuan family was a respectable family, so when they came for a medical check-up, they had to ask their subordinates to dismiss everyone else, for fear of being seen by others.

Guo Zixing frowned, clearly extremely unwilling. Although the innocence in his eyes remained the same as before, the coldness in his expression was becoming increasingly similar to that of before.

Xu Wensheng pretended to inspect the place, then started to chase people away, asking, "What are you doing here?"

Yuan Yue'e was taken aback for a moment, then pointed at herself and asked, "You mean me?"

Xu Wensheng looked around, "Are there other women here besides you?"

Yuan Yue'e said unhappily, "He is my fiancé, so I will definitely go with him for the medical check-up."

Xu Wensheng chuckled, "That's hilarious. He's lost his memory and you still call him your fiancé? Have you no shame? I don't think he's young anymore. He probably already has a bunch of kids. I've never seen anyone so eager to be a mistress."

Yuan Yue'e retorted angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about? As long as he's in Shanghai, he's my man, Yuan Yue'e's man. All that talk about having a bunch of kids is wishful thinking. Even if he does have kids, it has nothing to do with him."

Guo Zixing's brows furrowed even more; no one wants to live a life where everything is arranged for them.

Xu Wensheng shook his head. "You should leave now. I need to take off his clothes to check him. You don't want to see, do you? How can you be so insolent?"

"You..." Yuan Yue'e was so angry that she jumped up and down, but she dared not get angry because of Xu Wensheng's status. She stomped her foot and turned to leave.

After everyone left, Xu Wensheng stared at Guo Zixing intently. "Your recovery isn't going well. Did you take sleeping pills again?"

Guo Zixing was startled. "I didn't..." Then he remembered the milk that Yuan Yue'e prepared for him every night, and for a moment he didn't dare to be too sure.

Xu Wensheng shook his head. "Forget it, Xiao Lü, come out and see if this guy recognizes you."

From behind the screen, Qingru slowly emerged. "Young Master Guo, how have you been?"
