Zhan Mohan stripped off the last bits of fabric from her body and carried her upstairs.
Wei Yumeng, terrified, tried to struggle, "Zhan Mohan, what are you doing?"
Seeing her wary and fearful expression, Zhan Mohan frowned.
"Wei Yumeng, do you think I'm like those people?"
Wei Yumeng grumbled, "You've done it before."
It was just that he had the title of a legal husband, while those people were illegally violating her.
The man's expression turned even darker, "You're equating me with those people?"
Wei Yumeng could feel the surging aura around Zhan Mohan and wisely shut her mouth. She was afraid that if she said another word, he might throw her on the ground.
It wasn't until they entered the bathroom that she realized he wanted her to take a bath first, which she also wanted.
The smell of those men lingered on her, making her feel sick.
Zhan Mohan placed her in the bathtub and turned on the shower. Wei Yumeng, completely naked, was seen by him, making her feel embarrassed.
"Could you leave for a moment?"
Zhan Mohan swept her with a cold glance, "Are you still afraid I'll look?"
"I'm a bit unaccustomed. Please understand. I'll finish quickly and come out. Go see if the doctor has arrived."
Wei Yumeng softened her tone, knowing that if she resisted Zhan Mohan now, he would be even less likely to leave.
Zhan Mohan had no intention of staying. He still needed Fang Xun to investigate the mastermind.
Since it was a kidnapping, there must be a reason. If it wasn't for money, then someone was orchestrating it from behind.
Zhan Mohan placed a towel within her reach, "Call me when you're done."
He had noticed her ankle was a bit red and was afraid she couldn't put weight on it.
Wei Yumeng, afraid Zhan Mohan would linger for another second, quickly nodded.
"Okay, I'll call you when I'm done."
After Zhan Mohan left, Wei Yumeng finally relaxed and slid into the bathtub.
Who wanted to harm her? Who was so heartless as to want to ruin her purity? Could it be Wei Jin? Or Wen Yulan, or Feng Shiyin...
The names of these few people kept swirling in her mind, but she couldn't figure it out.
After Zhan Mohan went downstairs, Fang Xun called him.
"Mr. Zhan, the situation here has been resolved. Those two are fractured and will likely be in the hospital for a few more days before they can go to the police station."
"Did they confess?" He sat on the sofa, legs crossed, a lit cigarette held between his long fingers, his aura extremely cold.
"I think they don't seem to know who the person is. They were very careful and didn't reveal their identities. We'll have to investigate through other channels."
"Then find out as soon as possible." Anyone who dared to touch his people would have to pay the price, no matter who it was.
Daring to touch Zhan Mohan's wife was tantamount to not taking him seriously.
"Alright." Fang Xun had already anticipated that Mr. Zhan was truly angry this time, especially after witnessing the tragic scene just now, Mr. Zhan would surely be furious.
He wondered if their relationship would improve after this incident.
When Jing Yan arrived, Zhan Mohan had just finished a cigarette. He rushed in and asked,
"Quickly, where is she? I need to go back to the hospital after seeing her."
"Upstairs."
Jing Yan grabbed his medical bag and rushed upstairs. As he stepped onto the stairs, Zhan Mohan grabbed his collar.
"Wait a minute, she's bathing. I'll go in first."
Jing Yan scoffed, "Are you afraid I'll covet your wife? Have you ever heard the saying that in a doctor's eyes, all patients are transparent? Do you understand what that means?"
Zhan Mohan's expression remained calm, "Whether others are transparent or not is none of my business, but she cannot be. You come up in two minutes."
With that, he strode past Jing Yan and headed upstairs. Jing Yan was stunned.
"This... you're too overbearing."
It's not like he's the only one with a wife, why is he acting like he's hiding a treasure?
Zhan Mohan pushed open the door. The room was empty, so she must still be in the bathroom. He turned the doorknob and happened to see Wei Yumeng getting out of the bathtub. Before she could steady herself, her ankle twinged with pain. She lost her balance, her pupils suddenly widened, and as she was about to fall flat on her face, Zhan Mohan lunged forward and caught her.
Wei Yumeng was completely stunned, looking at the man in front of her with terror, her heart pounding in her chest.
Zhan Mohan's hands were still around her slender waist. His gaze lowered to her panicked face. Perhaps due to just having bathed, her face had a slight blush from the steam, revealing a fair, swan-like neck that gleamed.
The suddenness of the event left them both frozen until Jing Yan at the door began to urge them.
"Hey, are you two done yet?"
Wei Yumeng finally came back to her senses and tried to push Zhan Mohan away. However, the grip on her waist didn't loosen at all. He frowned and said,
"Do you want to fall again?"
She didn't.
Seeing that she had obediently shut up, Zhan Mohan reached out and wrapped a towel around her. Facing away from the door, he said,
"Wait another two minutes at the door."
"Damn... do you even know how precious my time is?"
Jing Yan was so angry he could almost scratch the walls. Is he the only one with a wife?
Receiving no response, Jing Yan had no choice but to reluctantly leave.
Zhan Mohan placed Wei Yumeng on the bed and covered her with the quilt.
"Fang Xun will bring you clothes when he comes. This will have to do for now."
His face remained expressionless, and his brows showed no sign of softness, but Wei Yumeng could feel his concern for her. At least, given what happened today, Zhan Mohan had done quite well.
She didn't make things difficult for him, "Okay."
Zhan Mohan turned and called towards the door, "Come in."
Jing Yan pushed the door open, still complaining a couple of times.
"You better not call me here again in the future, it's a waste of time."
Zhan Mohan moved aside, "With this time, you could have finished the examination and left."
Jing Yan knew he couldn't win an argument with him, so he resigned himself to examining Wei Yumeng's injuries. As a man, it was inconvenient, and more importantly, with this jealous man here, he didn't even dare to lift the quilt.
After asking for a general understanding of the situation, he took out a bottle of medicine from the medical box and placed it on the bedside table, instructing Zhan Mohan.
"There are no major problems, just some minor injuries. This is for promoting blood circulation and reducing swelling. Apply it to the painful areas on time."
"Mm."
The man replied indifferently, causing Jing Yan to glare at him in exasperation. He had traveled all this way, and this was his response?
Jing Yan frowned, "Don't you even know how to be polite?"
The man's gaze fell indifferently on Jing Yan, "With you, there's no need for politeness."
They were old friends and understood each other's personalities. Being polite would only create distance.
Jing Yan waved his hand, knowing that this was just Zhan Mohan's personality. Anyone who tried to argue with Zhan Mohan would truly drive themselves to death.
"I won't argue with you, but for minor ailments like this in the future, you can buy medicine at any pharmacy. Why make such a fuss to call me over?"
"You are more reliable." Zhan Mohan got up and was already walking towards the door, clearly showing him the way out. Since he was leaving, Jing Yan couldn't possibly stay inside.
Jing Yan was so angry he couldn't speak, his face turning purple and white. He pointed at Zhan Mohan's retreating back, his mouth opening and closing for a long time, unable to utter a word. Finally, he helplessly lowered his hand and turned to Wei Yumeng.
"Then, Sister-in-law, you rest well. I was just joking with him earlier, please don't mind."
Wei Yumeng smiled faintly and said politely, "It's fine, please take care."
After Zhan Mohan saw Jing Yan out and returned to the room, he saw Wei Yumeng had just unscrewed the lid of the medicine bottle, but her movements were somewhat inconvenient.
Seeing her struggle, Zhan Mohan frowned, stepped forward, and snatched the medicine from her hand.
"Didn't you wait for me to come in before applying the medicine?"
