Xia Lan grabbed Gu Xi Jue's sleeves and asked: ”What happened yesterday, will you call the police?”

”Why not?” Gu Xi Jue asked.

His breath had been stuck in his chest all along.

Xia Lan silently looked at him, and also thought about why she didn't call the police.

”Are you soft-hearted?” Gu Xi Jue asked coldly.

”It's not that I'm soft-hearted, I'm also very angry. It's just that …”

”But what?” Gu Xi Jue asked.

”I feel that they were also forced to do so in order to protect their home. There's nothing wrong with that. Didn't they know that we had changed our plans?” Xia Lan felt that it was not easy for everyone here.

If the police were to report him, the crime of kidnapping could be committed at any time, and he might even end up in jail for a few years.

Seeing that Gu Xi Jue's face was getting more and more unsightly, Xia Lan shook his sleeves and said: ”It's not like I'm fine, I'm fine.”

”Is this called being good? I was unconscious all night. ” Gu Xi Jue saw that her expression did not change, and still remained unmoved.

”Aiyo, we are only one step away from signing on the development case. Why are you making this up?” If we do not pursue this matter, the villagers of Sea Blue Village will definitely remember your kindness. ”

”Besides, they really didn't mistreat me after kidnapping me.” Xia Lan promised.

Gu Xi Jue had not spoken a word the entire time, so when someone knocked on the door, Gu Xi Jue glared at him, and then went to open the door.

The village chief stood outside, and behind him were the owner of the house, as well as the few people who kidnapped Xia Lan yesterday.

The village chief smiled, ”Gourmet, I heard that Xia Secretary has woken up, let's visit her.”

Gu Xi Jue lowered his head and saw that the owner was still holding onto the fruit in his hand.

The village chief also showed the bowl in his hands to Gu Xi Jue: ”This is a soup cooked by my wife. It's very Blood Replenishing, give it to Xia Secretary to drink.”

”Gourmet, let them in.” Xia Lan was lying on the bed, listening to the conversation outside the door.

Only then did Gu Xi Jue reluctantly let them in.

When the village chief entered, he glanced at Gu Xi Jue and suddenly asked in shock: ”Gourmet, is there blood all over your arm?”

Gu Xi Jue lowered his head upon hearing his voice and saw the blood stains on his arm.

As Xia Lan laid on the bed, he heard the blood on Gu Xi Jue's arm. She couldn't raise her head to look, and coincidentally, she was behind him, as she said loudly: ”Your back also has blood.”

”How did you get injured and lose so much blood?” Xia Lan cried out in alarm, her blood was frozen on his shirt, she did not even know how painful it was.

Gu Xi Jue thought for a while and said: ”It should have been because of me when I fell on the mountain yesterday.”

”Are you not in pain?” Xia Lan asked.

”It hurt, but it stopped.” Because it no longer hurt later on, he did not care about it. He kept his attention on Xia Lan, and even more so, did not care about his own body.

”How about, you come over. I'll take a look at your wound.” Xia Lan said.

Gu Xi Jue did not feel awkward, and walked over when he heard it, then sat down on the bedside.

Just as Xia Lan was about to get up, she was stopped by Gu Xi Jue, ”Don't get up.”

The space inside her was empty. If she got up, not everyone would be able to see her.

After saying that, he placed his arm in front of her. Xia Lan, who had heard what he said, did not get up.
