~8 min read 1,430 words

Even as the bald man was being dragged away, he refused to give up, turning to glare at Gu Xingnan with blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth, "You just wait!"

Gu Xingnan ignored him, simply walking over to Jiang Liangjin and patting his shoulder, "All right?"

"Fine."

Jiang Liangjin flexed his wrist, his gaze falling on Mu Youyu; seeing her hand reddened from gripping the reins, he frowned and asked, "Why didn't you dodge farther just now?"

Mu Youyu walked over to him, her voice tinged with grievance: "I was afraid you'd get hurt."

Jiang Liangjin was still a little upset at first, but hearing her words, his expression relaxed: "Just take care of yourself."

Yu Ci came over, rubbing his waist and wailing: "You're all fine, but my waist is about to be broken! And my face—what am I to do if it's scarred?"

He had a shallow scratch on his face, made just now by someone with a broken arrow shaft, oozing tiny beads of blood.

"Wuu wuu wuu, his handsome face!"

"Cut the act." Jiang Liangjin showed no reaction.

Gu Xingnan looked at him with some pity, yet said, "It's fine, it'll heal in a few days."

Yu Ci: "……"

Mu Youyu glanced at him, "Come on, let's go to the infirmary."

Yu Ci followed along, chuckling, "Still, Youbao cares about me."

As they walked toward the infirmary, students on the archery field's bleachers were still chatting excitedly.

Someone took out their phone to snap a photo, thought of something, and instead of posting it on the campus forum, they posted it in the campus group.

Infirmary.

The school nurse, too frightened to even breathe, sent someone to fetch medicine for Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan.

After washing their hands, Mu Youyu and Jiang Liangjin sat beside them.

Mu Youyu's brows knit slightly as she asked, "What happened? Why did that gang come to attack you?"

Yu Ci had just put on a bandage; hearing this, he sat up straight, "It's definitely aimed at A Nan! Just now at the archery field, that bald guy walked up and challenged A Nan to an archery match, then turned hostile and attacked after losing."

A school nurse was applying medicine to Gu Xingnan's face.

Gu Xingnan heard him, remained still, and said, "Yeah, after the fight broke out, A Ci rushed forward… then I contacted A Jin, but my phone got knocked away before I could call the police."

Only then did Yu Ci remember he had a phone.

Mu Youyu gasped, leaning back in her chair, "Those people not knowing A Nan is one thing, but A Jin too…"

Yu Ci lay back on the bed, "I don't know who it was; I'll have my family's old man look into it later."

Mu Youyu lowered her gaze to her hand; because the rope she'd gripped was too rough, her fingertips were slightly red and a bit hot.

As she lowered her gaze, Jiang Liangjin took her hand and began to rub her fingertips.

She blinked, then suddenly asked, "Could it be the Leng family behind this?"

As soon as she said that, the infirmary fell silent.

Jiang Liangjin's motion paused; he lifted his eyes to her, "How did you suddenly think of the Leng family?"

Mu Youyu pressed her lips, recalling what Mo Song had just said, and briefly explained how she'd encountered Leng Yueyue bullying Mo Song earlier.

Gu Xingnan's fingertips paused; he wiped away the lingering ointment at the corner of his mouth, his gaze turning colder, "She certainly has the nerve."

Previously, Leng Yueyue had been constantly stirring up small troubles at school, but she hadn't dared to cause trouble off-campus by sending people to attack.

If it really is her, this time she's likely gone completely over the line.

Yu Ci slapped the table, recalling Leng Yueyue, and immediately felt she was the most likely culprit.

"Damn! If it really is that woman behind this, I'll definitely settle the score with her! How dare she send people to beat up my A Nan! Does she think I'm easy to bully?"

At first, when those people went after Gu Xingnan, they weren't really going all out.

Gu Xingnan had been obsessed with computers since childhood, while Yu Ci was out and about, wild.

So those few easily took down Gu Xingnan, waiting for them to realize…

Yu Ci heard the bald man mutter quietly, "They didn't say that guy surnamed Gu was that weak… You guys, stop hitting him, let's go, let's go."

The bald man's companions also nodded in agreement, looking at the blood hanging from Gu Xingnan's lip, each feeling a pang of pity.

"If he's injured, won't that make it hard to collect money…"

"You really are… who let you hit him!"

"He didn't dodge himself—what could I do?"

"Forget it, forget it, let's go."

Those people were about to leave when Yu Ci stepped forward, shoved the bald man, and then they started fighting…

Afterwards, Gu Xingnan sent a message to Jiang Liangjin, and then the bald man's group noticed.

It turned into a complete mess.

Yu Ci recalled what those people had said, and instantly became even more convinced it was Leng Yueyue!

Aimed at A Nan, yet not daring to actually hurt him—perhaps that woman saw A Nan ignoring her, grew angry from embarrassment, and wanted to give A Nan a little lesson!

Yu Ci roughly recounted the events, waving his hands around, describing it vividly!

School nurse: "……Young Master Yu, please don't move."

Yu Ci lowered his hands, responded with an acknowledgment, and lay down obediently.

Gu Xingnan sat beside Yu Ci's hand, wondering what he was thinking.

Jiang Liangjin didn't rush to a conclusion, merely continuing to rub Mu Youyu's hand, "I'll have someone look into these people's backgrounds later to see if they're linked to the Leng family; if it really is them, they won't get away."

He paused, then looked at Yu Ci and Gu Xingnan to add, "During this time you should also be careful; it'd be best to have Uncle Yu and Uncle Gu arrange a few bodyguards for you, and call me anytime if anything comes up."

Having said that, he looked at Mu Youyu, "And you should also have Mu Nian elder brother prepare a few more bodyguards for you—you didn't used to have a couple of personal bodyguards?"

"Ah, they…" Mu Youyu was about to say more when her phone rang first.

She didn't avoid anyone, just answered the call while sitting there.

The voice on the other end was a bit garbled: "Miss! Those people won't talk!"

She asked, "Have you found out who they are?"

They're from a small town, saying they came here to travel.

Come here to travel? Who would believe that.

The other side kept saying, "Travel is obviously just an excuse—they can't even name a local attraction! Rest assured, I'll definitely send people to investigate!"

Mu Youyu gave a reply and then hung up.

Jiang Liangjin's thumb was still rubbing Mu Youyu's reddened fingertip; hearing that, he lifted his gaze, the previous gentleness in his eyes gone, replaced by coldness: "Don't rush, wait a few minutes and see."

Speaking, he also began contacting people.

Less than ten minutes later, Mu Youyu received a message, which she read aloud: "Those people's hotel registration used fake IDs, but the account paying the room fee is… linked to a shell company under the Yu Family."

?

Yu Family?

?

Yu Ci heard that and jumped up, shouting, "My family?"

Gu Xingnan was drinking water; hearing that, he also choked a bit.

How could it be A Ci?

Mu Youyu lowered her eyes, glanced at the company name, nodded, and said, "It's A Ci's Yu Family."

Yu Ci blurted out, "Xingnan, don't suspect me! It's impossible for me; those people are definitely making things up! Don't they know what relationship Xingnan and I have? This is totally fake!"

How could it be him!

Gu Xingnan was thinking of comforting her, but Mu Youyu's lips curled into a cold smile as she said, "The Yu Family isn't just A Ci."

Jiang Liangjin also nodded.

Yu Ci realized: besides him and his father, the Yu Family also has…

"Yu Cheng and Rong Yu?"

After saying that, he shook his head again: "Impossible for Rong Yu! She has no authority over my father's company… even if it's a shell company, she doesn't deserve it!"

The shares of his father's company are mostly held by his father and him.
