When Lin Qihai came out of Wuyi Lane, Cai Lingzhi slowly opened his eyes.
She had been unconscious for too long, and her memory was fragmented. She looked at the ceiling of the glass room and was stunned for more than ten seconds.
Then she remembered the battle last night, the ghost assassins going on a killing spree, the forcible increase in strength to fight against the enemy, and the shooting...
Ye Fan!
Cai Ling subconsciously trembled, sat up and shouted: "Ye Fan!"
She finally remembered that it was Ye Fan who saved her, but she had no memory of the final victory or defeat. She was grateful to Ye Fan and instinctively worried about life and death.
"woke up?"
Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Ye Fan appeared in front of her with a gentle look on his face:
"What? Are you worried that I will die?"
"You're injured, so lie back to avoid tearing it again and wasting the beauty and white medicine."
Ye Fan was holding a washbasin in his hand, with hot water and towels in it.
Cai Lingzhi felt relieved when he saw that Ye Fan was intact, and then his face started to hurt again. He covered his shoulder blade wound and lay back.
Ye Fan picked up the white towel, gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile:
"I thought you were going to be in a coma for a few days, but I didn't expect you to wake up one night. Did you feel worried, or was it a nightmare?"
Cai Ling subconsciously asked: "Have I been unconscious for a long time?"
"Not much, only fourteen hours."
Ye Fan smiled:
"You were stabbed, shot and poisoned. You even forcibly increased your strength and made your body a mess."
"I thought it would take two or three days to recover."
"But that's fine. When you wake up, you will have more self-protection ability, and I don't have to keep an eye on you anymore."
Ye Fan wiped Cai Lingzhi's palms again to keep them warm.
"Ye Fan, thank you."
Cai Lingzhi regained her charming smile, and said with bloodless lips:
"If you hadn't arrived in time last night, I would be in the freezer now."
She still knew in her heart that the reason why she woke up so quickly and recovered a lot of energy was inseparable from Ye Fan's night of treatment.
Otherwise, even if she is not headshot by the ghost assassin, she will be poisoned or bleed to death.
"We are friends, there is no need to say this."
Ye Fan waved his hand gently: "Besides, I like to fight against Wang Qiaochu. Saving you just gives Wang Qiaochu one more enemy, so you don't need to be grateful."
"You are such a good person."
Cai Lingzhi smiled brightly: "If it were anyone else, I would definitely want to take credit and hope that I will be indebted to him for the rest of my life."
"It would be better for you to take the credit outside."
"But whether you take it seriously or not, I, Cai Lingzhi, will keep you in my heart."
Her eyes became firmer.
"Dong..."
Just when Ye Fan looked helpless and wanted to respond, the door was knocked gently, and then Shadow was pushed in in a wheelchair.
"Miss, are you awake? Great!"
Then, she looked at Ye Fan and said, "Dr. Ye, thank you."
Ye Fan waved his hand gently: "It's your job. By the way, your abdominal injury is serious. If you have nothing to do, it's best to lie down and don't move too much."
If it hadn't been for his wonderful rejuvenation last night, the shadow would have died now, so Ye Fan was worried that she had torn the wound.
"Thank you Dr. Ye. I understand. I will definitely pay attention to it in the future."
Shadow looked at Cai Lingzhi with a smile: "I came up just to see if the lady was awake, and to report a few things to her."
Ye Fan nodded: "Okay, let's talk, I'll go down first."
"Ye Fan, don't leave!"
Cai Lingzhi reached out and grabbed Ye Fan: "From now on, the Cai family will have no secrets from Dr. Ye."
Ye Fan was stunned.
Shadow was also startled, and then responded respectfully: "Understood."
Ye Fan waved his hand: "Isn't this bad?"
"There's nothing wrong with it. If we all died last night, there's no point in having more secrets."
Cai Lingzhi still held Ye Fan tightly, for fear of losing him if he let go:
"Dr. Ye, Cai Lingzhi will join your service from now on and will go through life and death for you. Are you willing to accept the Cai family?"
She struggled to get up from the bed and looked at Ye Fan with bright eyes.
Instead of dancing on the swords of each family, it is better to stand in Ye Fan's camp. At least Ye Fan will not try to squeeze the value of the Cai family.
In this case, the Wang family, the Zheng family, and others will only continue to encroach on the Cai family. Once they have complete control of the Cai family's channels, they may be able to use up all their resources.
Under the crime of Huaibi, Cai Lingzhi decided to seek refuge with Ye Fan.
Ye Fan was shocked: "Take refuge in me?"
"That's right!"
Cai Lingzhi ignored the pain on his body and spoke with an extremely firm tone:
"In addition to saving our lives, you are also more trustworthy than any other force."
"I leave the fate of myself and the Cai family in your hands. I believe there will be a good future, rather than a cunning rabbit that will die and a lackey will cook."
"Now it depends on whether Dr. Ye is willing to take us in."
She straightened her chest slightly, her eyes filled with passion and expectation.
Shadow also gritted his teeth and stood up: "Dr. Ye, actually we shouldn't say that we take refuge in you, but that we ask for your asylum."
"As you can see, the Cai family has internal and external troubles."
"The Cai family's special intelligence channel is coveted by many people. We are dancing on the edge of the knife almost every day."
"The ghost assassin's unscrupulous attack shows that Wang Qiaochu and the others are bound to gain access to the Cai family's special channel."
"The battle last night also showed that we are unable to protect ourselves."
"But taking refuge in the Five Families will only give us a temporary breather. Once the Five Families take control of the channel, the Cai family will still be dead."
"So the lady and I both hope to get your protection."
"I hope Dr. Ye will accept us lonely people for the sake of friendship."
"Dr. Ye, we don't want to drag you down, but we recognize your character and think you have the ability to protect you."
"After all, you fought against Wang Qiaochu and got away with your whole body."
"And don't worry, we will try not to cause you any trouble in the future, and we will fully assist you to make you even more powerful in the Dragon City."
Shadow's expression was sincere, heartfelt and helpless in the vicissitudes of life, which made Ye Fan look a little more sympathetic.
Ye Fan smiled: "Will Mr. Cai and the others agree with your decision?"
"My grandpa and the others went to Ye Tang this time. On the surface, they wanted to pay birthdays, but in fact, they were prepared for both."
Cai Lingzhi told Ye Fan:
"If they get asylum from Ye Tang, they will come back. If they fail, they will stay outside and develop."
"Yesterday at noon, my grandfather told me that they are not coming back. From now on, I will have the final say with the Cai family in Longdu."
She added: "So I can make the decision!"
Cai Lingzhi said it in an understatement, but Ye Fan could hear the sadness in his tone. Isn't it a kind of abandonment to let her stay and take charge of the overall situation?
"You've all talked about this, I won't be kind if I don't accept you."
Ye Fan raised his head slightly and made a decision:
"Okay, from now on, you will take refuge in me, and I will do my best to protect you."
Although he is not yet clear about the significance of taking over the Cai family, he still has a good impression of Cai Lingzhi. Of course, he does not want to see the Cai family fall into the Wang family.
So Ye Fan decided to cover them.
"Thank you Dr. Ye!"
Cai Lingzhi and Shadow were ecstatic: "No, I will call you President Ye from now on."
Ye Fan didn't care about this and waved his hand: "It's up to you."
Cai Lingzhi and Shadow took a step forward and said respectfully: "I have met President Ye."
"By the way, President, I need to tell you something."
Cai Lingzhi suddenly remembered something:
"Not long ago, Zheng Qiankun commissioned us to investigate the relationship between you and Ye Tang..."
