The CEO's wife is reborn and vows to pay for her crimes in blood.

Chapter 122 Gu Ye is injured

Chu Xinglan's heart skipped a beat. She saw that the person whose mask had been pulled off by Lu Yuan, revealing his true face, was none other than Gu Ye.

"Gu Ye?" Chu Xinglan exclaimed in surprise.

Gu Ye smiled helplessly at Chu Xinglan, then took advantage of the distance and the fact that no one was paying attention to run away to catch a waiter.

Lu Yuan didn't dodge this time and was kicked to the ground. Before he could get up, Gu Ye, who was the first to get up, kicked him in the chest.

"Lanlan, should we kill him?" Gu Ye glanced at the knife lying on the ground.

Chu Xinglan snapped out of her surprise and stared at Gu Ye, who had Lu Yuan pinned to the ground, unable to move.

"Gu Ye, it turns out you've been the one protecting me all along." Chu Xinglan slowly walked towards Gu Ye.

"Who are you people? Why are you so determined to kill me? Don't you know that murder is a crime, and you can't escape the punishment of the law?"

Lu Yuan tried to struggle to his feet, but Gu Ye pressed him down even harder.

Gu Ye didn't even glance at Lu Yuan, but stared intently at Chu Xinglan, waiting for her decision.

Chu Xinglan stared intently at Lu Yuan.

She really wanted to kill him, so much so that she was willing to risk everything and pay any price for it, but she didn't want Gu Ye to be included in that price.

Once Lu Yuan dies, Gu Ye will also become an accomplice, and he will be unable to escape the consequences of a life lost for the rest of his life.

"Gu Ye... let him go!"

"Lanlan, didn't you try every means to kill him?" Gu Ye asked, somewhat surprised.

Chu Xinglan glanced at Lu Yuan indifferently: "He's not worth two of our lives."

"Lanlan, I will handle this matter properly and I will make sure nothing happens to you," Gu Ye said immediately.

"Let him go." Chu Xinglan didn't want to explain any further.

Gu Ye had no choice but to lift his foot and leave Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan struggled to his feet, staring at them with a face full of confusion.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

"Get out!" Gu Ye said coldly.

He knew that Chu Xinglan didn't not want to kill him, but simply didn't want to get him involved.

Lu Yuan was startled by Gu Ye's imposing aura. He looked at the wound on Gu Ye's waist, which was stained with blood even though his black clothes were black. He knew that Gu Ye was very strong. If he hadn't been injured before, he wouldn't have been able to gain the upper hand at all. Once Gu Ye subdued him, he would have been powerless to resist. Both of them had the intention to kill him. For the sake of his life, he had no choice but to put aside his doubts and turn to leave.

"Gu Ye, are you injured?"

Chu Xinglan also noticed that the color of Gu Ye's clothes around his waist was particularly dark. She hurriedly ran to Gu Ye's side and reached out to check his injury, but Gu Ye grabbed her hand.

"It was the injury you sustained that day, wasn't it? You took that knife for me? How could you be so foolish?" Chu Xinglan looked at Gu Ye sadly.

"I would give my life for you, let alone suffer a little flesh wound." Gu Ye smiled indifferently.

Chu Xinglan knew that if it were just a superficial injury, he wouldn't be in this state. The injury must be very serious. How could he be so careless with himself? She left him because she didn't want to implicate him, but he had been secretly protecting her all along, even disregarding his own life.

"Gu Ye, I'll take you to the hospital," Chu Xinglan said anxiously.

"Lanlan, I'm fine." Gu Ye smiled faintly, indicating that he was perfectly alright.

"How can nothing be wrong? If you don't go to the hospital, I never want to see you again," Chu Xinglan threatened him.

"Okay, Lanlan, don't be angry, I'll listen to you."

Under Chu Xinglan's insistence, Gu Ye reluctantly went to the hospital. What he saw shocked him; a large area on his waist was rotting.

Chu Xinglan's eyes widened in shock upon seeing this.

The knife wound he suffered that day wasn't very serious, but because he didn't pay attention to it and didn't treat it, the wound became inflamed and even infected with bacteria.

"This is ridiculous! He's injured so badly, and he's only coming to the hospital now. If he had waited any longer, it could have caused a high fever and even killed him," the doctor in charge of examining Gu Ye's wounds said angrily.

Chu Xinglan stood to the side, her eyes welling up with tears. She tried her best to hold them back and not let them fall.

Gu Ye noticed her sadness and comforted Chu Xinglan with a smile: "Doctors tend to exaggerate; it's not actually that serious."

The doctor didn't realize that Gu Ye was trying to comfort Chu Xinglan. He said seriously, "I'm not exaggerating. Look at your flesh, it's rotting. Even though you're young and strong, that doesn't give you the right to act recklessly. You have to take responsibility for your wife."

He glanced at Chu Xinglan, who was on the verge of tears, as he said this.

Gu Ye coughed lightly, knowing that the doctor regarded Chu Xinglan as his wife. However, the doctor was not wrong; in his heart, Chu Xinglan was his only wife.

"Lanlan, I'm a little thirsty. Go buy me some water." Gu Ye didn't want Chu Xinglan to see his injuries and upset her, so he sent her away.

Chu Xinglan bit her lip, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Chu Xinglan bought a drink, but instead of going in, she stood at the door and watched the doctor scrape away the rotten flesh from Gu Ye's body with a knife.

The process was unbearable for most people, but Gu Ye endured it without uttering a sound. From the doctor's conversation, she learned that he could be given anesthesia when the flesh was scraped off, but that would mean he would be completely numb for several hours. Gu Ye did not want that, so the doctor scraped off the rotten flesh without anesthesia.

"In ancient times, Guan Yu could scrape bones without anesthesia, and now you can cut flesh without anesthesia. Young man, you are really amazing."

After scraping away the rotten flesh, the doctor was so exhausted that he was covered in sweat, and he couldn't help but give Gu Ye a thumbs up.

Not uttering a sound doesn't mean he wasn't in pain. In fact, Gu Ye was already pale from the pain, and large beads of sweat rolled down his clean, white forehead. He managed a weak smile.

Chu Xinglan could no longer hold back her tears, which streamed down her face. It took her a long time to wipe them away and pretend she had just returned.

"Gu Ye, the water is here."

She tried to unscrew the bottle cap to hand the water to Gu Ye, but found she couldn't open it.

"I'll do it." Gu Ye smiled slightly at her.

Chu Xinglan, her face flushed, handed the drink to Gu Ye.

The doctor looked at the handsome young couple, smiled meaningfully, and after bandaging Gu Ye's wound, said to them, "I'll go and prescribe some medicine for you."

"Thank you, doctor," Chu Xinglan said softly.

"Young lady, you are so lucky. Your husband is no ordinary person, and I can tell he dotes on you very much," the doctor said with a smile.

Chu Xinglan blushed slightly at what was said, and she quickly explained, "I'm not him..."

Before he could even utter the word "wife," the doctor said again, "Go and help him put his clothes on."

The doctor finished giving instructions and then left.

Only Gu Ye and Chu Xinglan remained in the ward.
