Underworld: Starting with conquering countless lustful beauties

He knew that tonight's events would be a shadow that Liu Yu could never erase for the rest of her life.

"Sister Yu," Chen Feng's voice was very soft, as if afraid of disturbing something, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

Liu Yu's body stiffened for a moment, then she shook her head even more violently.

"It's not your fault...it's not your fault..." Her voice was hoarse and broken, as if squeezed from her throat, "You came...you came to save me...I knew you would come..."

As she spoke, she finally couldn't hold back anymore and burst into tears, burying her face in Chen Feng's chest.

The fear, humiliation, and despair that had been suppressed for so long poured out at this moment. She cried, her whole body trembling, sobbing uncontrollably, yet she refused to loosen her grip on Chen Feng's neck.

Chen Feng didn't say anything, but gently patted her back, letting her tears soak his clothes.

……

Half an hour later, at the old-fashioned attic behind Shengli Road.

Lin Fang was already waiting downstairs. When she saw Chen Feng carrying Liu Yu back, tears instantly streamed down her face.

"Xiaoyu, what happened!" Lin Fang rushed over, and seeing Liu Yu wrapped in a trench coat, then looking at Chen Feng covered in blood and with a swollen face, she turned pale with fright. "What happened?"

"Sister Fang, don't ask anymore, let's go upstairs first." Chen Feng's voice was tired and hoarse. "A doctor will be here soon, could you please prepare some hot water and clean clothes for me?"

Although Lin Fang was full of doubts, she couldn't ask Chen Feng any questions when she saw his face covered in blood and wounds. She wiped away her tears and quickly ran upstairs to prepare.

Chen Feng carried Liu Yu upstairs and gently placed her on the bed. But Liu Yu clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go no matter what.

"Sister Yu, we're home, we're safe." Chen Feng held her hand and gently comforted her, "I'll stay here, I'm not going anywhere."

"Don't go...don't leave me..." Liu Yu's voice trembled with tears, her eyes vacant and unfocused. "I'm so scared...I'm so scared..."

Chen Feng felt as if his heart was being torn apart. He simply sat down on the edge of the bed, letting Liu Yu lean against him, and gently patted her back.

"I won't leave, I won't leave."

And so, the two embraced, neither of them saying another word.

About twenty minutes later, footsteps were heard downstairs.

"Brother Feng, Ghost Hand Zhang is here!" Da Zhuang's voice came from downstairs.

Chen Feng gently patted Liu Yu's back: "Sister Yu, the doctor is here. Let him take a look at your injury."

Liu Yu loosened her grip slightly, but still held tightly to Chen Feng's clothes, unwilling to let him out of her sight.

Ghost Hand Zhang walked in carrying an old medicine chest. His eyes, however, gleamed with a sharp light. Seeing Liu Yu's condition on the bed, and then glancing at Chen Feng's injuries, he frowned slightly but asked nothing.

"Your injury isn't light either." Ghost Hand Zhang put down his medical kit, looking at the deep, bone-revealing wound on Chen Feng's left hand. "Let me treat it for you first."

"Show her first." Chen Feng shook his head. "I'm fine."

Ghost Hand Zhang glanced at him deeply, but said nothing more.

He went to the bedside and carefully examined Liu Yu's injuries. Fortunately, they were only superficial wounds and bruises, with no vital organs damaged. However, her mental state was clearly off; her eyes were unfocused, and she was unresponsive to external stimuli.

"Her physical injuries aren't serious; she'll be fine in a few days," Ghost Hand Zhang stood up and said to Chen Feng in a low voice, "but she's been severely traumatized; this is a stress reaction. For the next few days, you need to stay with her constantly, making her feel safe. Don't leave her alone, and don't agitate her."

Chen Feng nodded: "I understand."

Ghost Hand Zhang glanced at Chen Feng's still-bleeding left hand and sighed, "Now it's your turn. Sit down and don't move."

Ghost Hand Zhang's technique was both fast and steady.

He first disinfected Chen Feng's left hand wound with alcohol, which made Chen Feng gasp in pain, but he didn't utter a sound. Then, he carefully stitched up the wound with needle and thread, each stitch precise, and finally sprinkled a layer of yellow medicine powder on it and wrapped it with layers of gauze.

"This wound is too deep; it damaged the tendon," Ghost Hand Zhang said, frowning as he packed his medical kit. "The strength in this hand will be affected in the future. Avoid using it forcefully, keep it dry, and change the dressing on time."

Ghost Hand Zhang slung his medicine chest over his shoulder, paused at the door, and said, "Young man, take it easy. You only have one life."

After saying that, he went downstairs and left.

Chen Feng looked at his left hand, which was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, and gave a bitter smile. He had won tonight's battle, but at a great cost: the wound on his left hand, the stab wound to his left shoulder, and the bruises on his face from slapping himself…

However, as long as Liu Yu is safe, it's all worth it.

He turned to look at the bed. Liu Yu had already changed into clean pajamas with Lin Fang's help and was now curled up in the blankets, her eyes fixed on Chen Feng as if afraid he would disappear.

"Sister Fang, you should go and rest too," Chen Feng said to Lin Fang. "I'll stay here and keep watch."

Lin Fang nodded with red eyes, and before leaving, she glanced at Liu Yu one last time, her eyes full of heartache.

The room fell silent.

Chen Feng sat down by the bed and took Liu Yu's cold hand in his.

"Sleep well, Sister Yu. I'll stay here and watch over you."

"Chen Feng, have I embarrassed you? Have I been dirty?" Liu Yu asked, looking aggrieved.

"What nonsense are you talking about? It's all my fault for not protecting you."

Chen Feng got into bed, and the two of them hugged each other tightly before slowly closing their eyes and falling into a deep sleep.

……

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains. Chen Feng was already awake; Liu Yu was fast asleep. He slowly got up, walked to the window, and lit a cigarette.

Footsteps sounded downstairs, followed by Monkey's voice: "Brother Feng, we have news!"

Chen Feng walked to the stairwell and gestured for the monkey to be quiet.

The monkey lowered his voice and ran up quickly: "Brother Feng, I found out. The police did go to that abandoned factory last night and arrested a bunch of people. Zhao Gang led the team himself, and they supposedly caught several fugitives wanted by the provincial capital, and that... that Zhao Qiang."

"Zhao Qiang isn't dead?" Chen Feng narrowed his eyes.

"It didn't die, but I heard it was on the verge of death when it was taken to the hospital." The monkey's expression was a little strange. "I heard... I heard it's not going to make it there anymore, and it'll only be able to squat to pee from now on."

Chen Feng snorted coldly: "He got off too easily."

"And another thing," the monkey continued, "the police have initially determined it to be an internal conflict within the fugitive gang, and haven't investigated further. Zhao Gang doesn't seem to intend to dig any deeper either; after all, catching the fugitive is already a major achievement."

Chen Feng nodded, a weight lifted from his heart.

Zhao Gang was a smart man and knew how complicated things were behind this. As long as Chen Feng didn't provoke him, he was happy to turn a blind eye.

"Brother Feng, there's something else." Monkey's expression became hesitant. "Sister Hong and Ah Zhen... called early this morning, asking about last night. I didn't dare say anything, so I just said you were resting."

"Okay, I understand." Chen Feng flicked his cigarette ash. "You can go now. Let the brothers rest and recover. Have Ah Zhen keep an eye on the casino for the next few days. I won't be going there."

"clear!"

After the monkey went downstairs, Chen Feng stood by the window and finished smoking his cigarette.

He knew this wasn't over yet.

Although Zhao Qiang is crippled, he still has influence in the provincial capital. Who exactly is this "cousin" Zhao Qiang mentioned? Could he be causing trouble for Zhao Qiang?

And Ah Zhen...

What role did this woman play in this matter? The information she provided was indeed a great help, but Chen Feng always felt that things were not that simple.

However, those are things for the future.

The most important thing now is to take good care of Liu Yu and help her get out of the shadow of last night.
