"Okay, let's do as you say and get him to the hospital quickly!" Yan Ruyu was always a kind-hearted girl. Even if Luo Chao hadn't mentioned it, she would have pleaded with him to save this person. Since Luo Chao suggested it first, she naturally wouldn't oppose it.

"Ugh ugh..." Upon hearing Yan Ruyu mention the hospital, the man on the ground hurriedly made a noise, but they couldn't make out what he was saying.

"You don't want us to take you to the hospital?" Seeing the man's expression, Luo Chao quickly asked.

"Uh-huh—" The man responded faintly and then fell silent, as if the sound had exhausted his last bit of strength.

"What should we do then? Could he be a bad person?" Yan Ruyu looked at Luo Chao anxiously.

"Huh?" Yan Ruyu's suggestion made Luo Chao wary. The event from the eerie mansion last night immediately surfaced in his mind. If this person was similar to those from last night, taking him back to the hotel would be extremely dangerous. Thus, he was hesitant.

"He looks kind of familiar?" As Luo Chao was contemplating, Yan Ruyu suddenly voiced this thought.

"Familiar? Have you seen him before?" Luo Chao looked at Yan Ruyu, puzzled.

"I don't know, it's just that the scar on his face looks familiar!" Yan Ruyu said uncertainly.

"Scar?" Luo Chao quickly bent down to look at the man's face. Although it was covered in blood, the scar was strikingly conspicuous. A vague figure slowly emerged in Luo Chao's mind—of medium height with an aura of authority, a very short haircut almost to the scalp, and a scar running across half his face. The leader of the Black Tiger Gang, Black Tiger, who else could have such distinct features?

"It's Black Tiger!" As Luo Chao thought of this, Yan Ruyu exclaimed, but then she added, perplexed, "Wasn't he burned to death by Qingmu Society? How come—"

"Perhaps the circumstances of Qingmu Society's Li Bin's death and Black Tiger's supposed demise aren't as reported in the news!" Luo Chao said solemnly. The moment he realized the man before him was Black Tiger, many thoughts crossed his mind, but he didn't dare to confirm them. If true, it was too tragic for Black Tiger.

"So should we save him?" Now knowing the identity, the decision to save him or not was questioned. Yan Ruyu held a strong aversion to gangs because of Qingmu Society.

"Save him!" Luo Chao's eyes gleamed with a peculiar light. He suddenly felt this was an opportunity granted to him by the heavens, possibly a turning point in his life. Moreover, Luo Chao had heard of Black Tiger's deeds, and in his eyes, Black Tiger was considered a good person. He decided to save Black Tiger.

"Alright, let's hurry and move him!" Having made up their minds, Yan Ruyu urged Luo Chao.

"Okay, sure!" Luo Chao released Yan Ruyu, took off his coat, and carried Black Tiger on his back. To prevent others from recognizing him, he asked Yan Ruyu to cover Black Tiger with a jacket. Once everything was settled, they headed out of the alley.

"Sis, go buy some gauze and medicine, okay?" Once out of the alley, they were on the street, with their hotel already in sight. Luo Chao turned to Yan Ruyu and said.

"Got it!" Yan Ruyu replied and walked away.

"Sis, be careful!" Seeing Yan Ruyu about to leave, Luo Chao expressed his concern.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Yan Ruyu momentarily stiffened, turned back, and showed Luo Chao a contented smile before leaving.

Luo Chao glanced around, carrying Black Tiger swiftly to the hotel.

After casually fooling the hotel staff, Luo Chao quickly carried Black Tiger into the room, laid him flat on the bed, and began removing Black Tiger's clothes.

After that, Luo Chao immediately fetched a basin of water to wash the blood off Black Tiger's body. He was in such a hurry to take care of this because he didn't want to wait for Yan Ruyu to come back, as she would surely insist on doing it herself. Luo Chao didn't want Yan Ruyu wiping down a dirty man; perhaps unknowingly, he had already elevated Yan Ruyu to a high status in his heart, though he might not even realize it himself. He just wanted to take good care of Yan Ruyu.

Just as Luo Chao finished, Yan Ruyu returned with a big bag of medicines, gauze, scissors, and other items.

With that, the two of them applied some medicine on Black Tiger, bandaged his wounds with gauze, and covered him with a blanket to let him rest.

"Luo Chao, why aren't you in school and instead ended up in such a chaotic place all by yourself?" On the sofa, Yan Ruyu cozily leaned in Luo Chao's arms while watching TV, and suddenly asked him softly.

"I got expelled!" Luo Chao smiled with a hint of self-mockery.

"You must have been skipping classes, fighting all day, and that's why the school kicked you out, right?" Recalling the past few days spent with Luo Chao and his behavior, Yan Ruyu spoke without thinking.

"Sis, would you believe me if I said I never attended class but could always rank first in the entire grade!" Luo Chao helplessly smiled at Yan Ruyu's teasing, but then added seriously.

"I don't believe you!" Yan Ruyu placed her index finger on her chin, her lips slightly pouted, eyes gleaming playfully like she was being coy.

"Heh, if you ever go to Huahai, you'll surely hear my name. It's just that—" Luo Chao sighed as he spoke.

"Luo Chao, don't be sad!" Seeing Luo Chao upset, Yan Ruyu consoled him.

"Yeah, it's just that I didn't meet my mentor's expectations!" Luo Chao said apologetically, as if expressing regret to an old man named Zhou.

"Have you thought about going back to school in the future?" Yan Ruyu asked.

"I don't know. Honestly, I go to school just to fulfill my grandfather's wish. As for the knowledge, I've already learned it all, so I rarely attend classes while still managing to get first in the grade." Luo Chao was really confused about whether to continue schooling; he himself didn't know.

"Oh!" Yan Ruyu let out a cute "oh" and said nothing further.

"Sis, have you been to school?" Luo Chao gently hugged Yan Ruyu's shoulders and asked.

"I did, up until the second year of high school when I was sixteen, after which I never went back!" Yan Ruyu's eyes dimmed, feeling a bit sad. "I actually have a dream to go to university, but unfortunately, it's just an empty wish now."

"I'm sorry, sis!" Luo Chao realized he touched on something painful for Yan Ruyu.

"Silly, those days are long gone!" Yan Ruyu gently caressed Luo Chao's face and said.

"Actually, sis, you can still go to college now! You can even study abroad, I've heard the schools outside are really good and very flexible. That's where people can learn truly useful things." Luo Chao smiled as he spoke.
