Chapter 188: I'll Accompany You Next Time
"Right, I'm preparing to leave the hospital. Since the doctors can't cure me, I'll go back to my own hospital and handle some matters. Then, I'll wait for you at home!"
Liu Xiaoxiao added a sentence.
"Okay... sure!"
Qin Yu nodded.
Liu Xiaoxiao suffered from a genetic disease, and common treatments were utterly ineffective. Besides, during acupuncture, she needed to be entirely undressed, which was highly inconvenient in the hospital—home was obviously more suitable.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Mingyu walked over from not far away, "Did you get everything sorted with the monitoring center? Was that Xiaoxiao's call just now?"
"She's being discharged. I'll go to her place tonight, give her acupuncture, and see how it goes!"
Qin Yu didn't mention that Liu Xiaoxiao would have to be undressed for the acupuncture. Although Yan Mingyu didn't know yet that he was her husband, if they ended up together later on, looking back on this would certainly cause unease in her mind.
"Alright, then I'll have to trouble you with that!"
Yan Mingyu really cared about her best friend.
Then, something seemed to cross her mind, and she furrowed her brow, "You have... his contact info, right?"
"Who?"
Qin Yu was a bit confused.
"I mean... my husband. I've blocked his number, and I don't want to contact him anymore. Didn't you say last time that you joined the military together and have kept in touch? Could you contact him for me and pass on my message? Tell him to act like a man and step forward to finalize the divorce!"
Yan Mingyu almost spat out the words through clenched teeth.
She had considered hiring a lawyer to file for divorce unilaterally. However, given that it was a time of many concerns, she didn't want to stir up a storm over her personal issues.
She could only keep a low profile, seeking to annul the marriage to that bastard of a husband as soon as possible.
"Uhh... okay!"
Qin Yu hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Since Yan Mingyu had entrusted this matter to him, it would be much easier to handle. If need be, he could simply procrastinate. Perhaps, once her anger subsided, there might be a chance for things to change.
"Ding-dong..."
At that moment, the elevator doors opened.
The distinguished Black Tortoise, Tang Xuanwu, stepped out of the elevator, "Miss Yan!"
"Mr. Tang, what brings you here?"
Yan Mingyu turned her head toward Tang Xuanwu.
As for Qin Yu, Tang Xuanwu just gave him a brief nod. In his eyes, Qin Yu was merely Yan Mingyu's bodyguard.
With his status and standing, there was no need for him to stoop to making a connection with a bodyguard.
"I heard there was an incident at the hotel at noon, so I came to check on the situation. What exactly happened? Is there anything I can help with?"
The two bodyguards of Pei Luoyan worked for Tang Xuanwu's company, so naturally, he was quickly informed about Pei Luoyan's assassination attempt on Li Xiaozu.
"That would be wonderful, Mr. Tang. With your help, I think my chances are much better!"
Yan Mingyu happily accepted Tang Xuanwu's offer.
Not only was he highly skilled personally, but he also had a professional security company under his command. If he was willing to help, the Assassins Organization would probably be no match for Li Xiaozu's protection.
"Heh, it's my honor. May I have the details of what happened?"
Tang Xuanwu asked with a smile.
"Of course, let's go to the office and talk!"
Yan Mingyu led Tang Xuanwu into an office prepared for her by the hospital.
God damn it...
If someone is undeservedly nice, they're either a traitor or a thief!
Qin Yu was annoyed, but Tang Xuanwu looked every bit the enthusiastic gentleman, leaving Qin Yu no opportunity to confront him.
He must solidify his status as Yan Mingyu's husband as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Yan Mingyu was swayed by Tang Xuanwu over time, he would be in a sorry state.
After muttering to himself for a while, Qin Yu sat in the chair, waiting for Li Xiaozu to come out.
It was almost evening.
Li Xiaozu was finally wheeled out of the surgery room by two nurses.
Seeing that he was still unconscious, Qin Yu could only stop the doctor that came out after and ask, "How is Mr. Li doing?"
"Thankfully, it was just a through-and-through wound, and it was treated promptly, so there was no major bleeding. He's mostly fine, but the wound is deep, so further observation and treatment are necessary!"
The doctor said, removing his mask.
"Alright, thank you for your hard work!"
Qin Yu felt slightly more at ease. After the nurse pushed Li Xiaozu into the elevator, he made a full round of the hospital from top to bottom. Finally, he asked a doctor for a piece of paper and a pen and meticulously marked out how to arrange personnel to protect Li Xiaozu.
He didn't possess the Clone Technique, and the assassins were too crafty, so the only option was to assign more people for increased vigilance.
After making the arrangements, he drove away from the hospital in his BMW.
He hurried back as soon as he had finished giving Liu Xiaoxiao her injection.
The safety of Li Xiaozu was of the utmost importance, and Liu Xiaoxiao's side couldn't be neglected even a bit.
Before long,
Qin Yu arrived at Liu Xiaoxiao's villa.
After getting out of the car, he punched in a few numbers on the villa's keypad, and the gate opened.
He had stayed here for two nights before, so he knew the code to the front gate.
Once inside, the lights in the hall were on.
However, Liu Xiaoxiao was not in sight. Following the tempting aroma wafting through the air, he arrived at the kitchen entrance, where he saw Liu Xiaoxiao frying steaks.
She turned around and stuck out her tongue, looking a bit embarrassed when she saw it was Qin Yu, "I haven't been home for several days, and there were only steaks in the fridge. I've fried three for you, is that enough?"
"Enough!"
Qin Yu nodded.
Perhaps because she was at home, Liu Xiaoxiao was dressed quite casually in a loose T-shirt that was so long it nearly covered her buttocks.
Exposing two round, snow-white long legs.
As she moved her spatula, her waist swayed slightly, which in turn made her hips wiggle seductively.
Major shareholder...
Indeed, the name was well-earned.
Qin Yu had always known this nickname for Yan Mingyu, his best friend, but he definitely couldn't address Liu Xiaoxiao in the same manner.
Otherwise, it would be too intimate.
"Go open a bottle of red wine, I feel like having some. Otherwise, I'd feel embarrassed undressing in front of a man!"
Liu Xiaoxiao turned back, a flirtatious look on her face tinged with blush.
Although she said that undressing in front of Qin Yu didn't matter, when it actually came down to it, she still felt a bit ashamed.
Most of all, she had a secret that even Yan Mingyu didn't know.
And now, she was about to reveal it to Qin Yu. Thinking about it made her feel somewhat peculiar inside.
"Uh... okay!"
Qin Yu turned and left the kitchen, went to the dining area outside, and took a bottle of wine from the rack. After opening it, he poured it into a decanter.
A few minutes later, Liu Xiaoxiao came out with a dinner plate.

"I'll pour you a glass, but don't drink too much!"
Qin Yu poured Liu Xiaoxiao a glass of red wine.
"Aren't you having any?"
Liu Xiaoxiao asked as she took the glass.
"Ha, I've had a lot on my plate these past few days, I need to stay alert. Next time, next time I'll drink with you!"
Qin Yu said with a wry smile.
"Okay then!"
Liu Xiaoxiao pouted a little, eating her steak and sipping her wine, "You also need to be careful. Mingyu told me that the Assassins Organization seems to be after you guys!"
"Yeah, I know."
Qin Yu felt a slight warmth in his heart.
The two chatted idly as they ate.
When they were nearly done eating, Liu Xiaoxiao put down her cutlery and biting her lip, said, "Then let's go to my room for the acupuncture!"
"Alright!"
"Xiaoxiao!"
Just as Qin Yu stood up, a man's voice came from behind him.
