I Only Lost 1000 CC of Blood, Don't Worry, I'm Fine

The base intranet was usually managed by Red Wolf, so he was also the fastest to reply.

Red Wolf: [Received.]

After a two-second pause, Red Wolf sent another message. [May I ask why it was "all captured" instead of "all killed"?]

That was a rather knowing question.

Who at War Wolf Base did not know that Bai Jin had chased a man all the way back to the country and was now inseparable from some man? The reason he had not chosen to kill those twelve assassins outright but handed them over to the police was entirely out of consideration for Lu Chengze.

Naturally, Bai Jin knew exactly what Red Wolf meant by that question. He was deliberately teasing him.

Bai Jin was not about to fall for it. Before the others got wind of it and came to gang up on him, he coolly dropped a message: [Logging off.]

Then he went offline directly.

After clearing his browsing history from the computer, Bai Jin returned to the bathroom and comfortably soaked in the tub.

Eleven international assassins had been captured in one go, and all of them were connected to Bai Jin. In order to keep Bai Jin out of it, Lu Chengze had spent three consecutive days watching over things at the police station.

On top of that, he was responsible for matters at the border, leaving Lu Chengze so busy that he did not even have time to send Bai Jin a message.

He wondered whether that little thing's face had gotten any better.

After going three days without sleep, Lu Chengze finally finished everything at seven thirty that evening. Without even taking time to rest, he drove back.

Halfway there, he learned that Bai Jin was still at the library, so without another word, he took his men to Medical University.

Whether day or night, Medical University's library was always packed with people, filled to the brim with students who had come to study.

Lu Chengze wore combat fatigues, with the two burly men, Lu Jin and Lu Mu, following behind him. Even though all three had deliberately restrained their imposing auras, they still managed to frighten off quite a few students.

Seeing this, the librarian was about to step forward and stop them, but a single look from Lu Mu scared him away.

Oh my god! So scary!

Li Ming, who was walking downstairs arm in arm with Bai Jin, immediately recognized the three men who stood out from the crowd. "Bai Jin, look. Aren't those Fifth Master and the others?"

Bai Jin was looking down at his phone. Lu Chengze had sent him a message half an hour ago saying he was coming to pick him up from school. Bai Jin had been busy studying at the time and had not noticed it. He had only just seen it and hurriedly replied.

He had barely sent the message when he heard Li Ming say that Lu Chengze and the others had arrived. Raising his eyes in surprise, he saw Lu Chengze and his men already standing at the foot of the stairs.

"Fifth Master, you got here so quickly?" After not seeing him for several days, Lu Chengze's cold, lethal yet noble bearing made Bai Jin's eyes blur for a moment.

The delight and coquettishness in Bai Jin's voice pleased Lu Chengze.

"Mm. Going home now?" Lu Chengze extended his hand toward Bai Jin and waited for him to come downstairs.

Bai Jin nodded and started down the stairs, forgetting that Li Ming was still tightly hooked around his arm. When he moved, Li Ming was pulled along with him.

Seeing their bodies pressed so closely together, Lu Chengze's eyes narrowed.

Li Ming only felt an invisible wave of powerful chill wash over him. How could he dare stay close to Lu Chengze? He hastily released Bai Jin and let him fly into Fifth Master Lu's embrace.

Good heavens!

Fifth Master Lu was so terrifying. How could Bai Jin still smile so happily?

But Li Ming forgot that he was standing on the stairs. The moment his attention wandered, his foot missed a step, and his entire body pitched forward.

"Ah—" Li Ming cried out, his hands flailing wildly through the air as he tried to grab onto something and steady his falling body.

Hearing Li Ming's scream, Bai Jin turned around and saw him falling down the stairs. His expression changed, and he was about to rush back to catch him.

But someone was faster.

Lu Jin took a great stride past Bai Jin and lunged forward. With one arm, he caught Li Ming's falling body around the waist, then used the momentum to safely leap onto level ground. "Kid, are you okay?"

Bai Jin hurried over as well. "Li Ming, are you okay?"

Still shaken, Li Ming leaned against Lu Jin, his little face pale with fright. He shook his head and answered in a trembling voice, "I'm fine."

Nothing was wrong. He was just scared.

Lu Chengze glanced at Lu Jin's rare change of expression and calmly ordered, "He doesn't look fit to leave alone. Lu Jin, take him home while you're at it."

Lu Jin: "...???"

Was it on the way?

Bai Jin's home and the Li Family's home were clearly in opposite directions.

But since Fifth Master had given the order, Lu Jin did not object. He nodded. "Understood."

Then he helped Li Ming away.

It was not that Li Ming had no guard against others, but the Li Family had renewed their contract with Lu Group Corporation not long ago, and Lu Jin had been the one to facilitate it. Even Li Ming's older brother had praised Lu Jin, so in Li Ming's eyes, Lu Jin was a very good person.

Lu Mu watched from the side, dumbfounded. "...Since when did this guy become so good at taking care of people?"

He was even supporting him?

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

The chief of Fifth Master's bodyguard detail was always stone-faced toward everyone else.

Could he have changed his nature?

Bai Jin also sensed that something was unusual. He quietly leaned toward Lu Chengze. "Fifth Master, Lu Jin..."

Lu Chengze took Bai Jin's hand and led him outside. "I don't know, but it's my first time seeing him so enthusiastic toward someone."

Bai Jin immediately smiled without saying anything.

If Lu Jin had really taken a liking to Li Ming, would that older brother of his, who was obsessed with his little brother, chase him down?

Li Ming's cry had been rather loud just now, drawing repeated glances from many students. Bai Jin did not like being watched, so he followed Lu Chengze's pace and quickly left the library.

Lu Jin had driven the car away, so Lu Chengze walked home with Bai Jin.

After they left the school gates, Bai Jin finally looked at Lu Chengze's left hand, which had been kept in his pocket the entire time. Concerned, he asked, "Fifth Master, what happened to your hand?"

Lu Chengze said, "Ah, it's nothing. I accidentally got cut during a mission. I only lost 1000 CC of blood. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Bai Jin: "..."

If you were fine, then stop frowning!

He wore an expression that clearly said, I'm hurt, I'm in pain, yet he kept telling Bai Jin not to worry?

Bai Jin ground his tongue against his teeth and held out his hand toward Lu Chengze. "Take your hand out. Let me see."

"It's really nothing..." Though he said that, Lu Chengze placed his hand in Bai Jin's palm without the slightest delay.

It really was quite serious.

The wound was about five centimeters long. Although it had already scabbed over, flesh was protruding from the surface of the cut. It seemed that he really had lost a considerable amount of blood when he was injured.

As for whether it had been 1000 CC, that remained to be seen.

But it had already reached the point where stitches were necessary.

Bai Jin looked up and asked seriously, "Why didn't you get stitches? This injury should already be two days old."

"Wasn't I rushing back to see you?" Lu Chengze withdrew his hand, once again looking utterly unconcerned as he took Bai Jin's hand and continued walking. "Besides, instead of worrying about this injury, why don't you worry about my stomach? I've barely eaten anything for two days. I'm starving to death."

Lu Mu, following behind them: "..."

Fifth Master, are you sure?
