Chapter 704: Chapter 697: The Last Gamble (Part 1)
The man outside immediately came in and saw Wu Chengzu and Bai Yiran in an ambiguous position.
Bai Yiran was curled up at the head of the bed, her face full of terror, while Wu Chengzu straddled her, holding her hand.
At this moment, the man really wished he were blind, wondering why he kept seeing things he shouldnāt in one day.
"Go get the disinfectant and bandages," Wu Chengzu instructed, his attention entirely on Bai Yiranās injured hand, without even glancing at the man.

The man received the order and immediately ran out, soon returning with those items, "Brother Zu, the things are here."
"Mm."
The man didnāt dare linger, putting down the items and then leaving.
Wu Chengzu stood up, brought over the iodine and gauze bandages, and grabbed Bai Yiranās hand again.
Bai Yiran instinctively wanted to struggle, but Wu Chengzu gripped her tightly, "Donāt move, or Iāll tie you up."
Wu Chengzuās words didnāt sound like a threat, as if he would really tie her up if she moved again.
Seeing Bai Yiran finally settled, Wu Chengzu began to wipe Bai Yiranās hand with an iodine-soaked cotton ball.
There was some stinging pain, Bai Yiran unconsciously shook her hand, and Wu Chengzuās movements became gentler, wiping while gently blowing. He treated Bai Yiranās hand like it was a porcelain doll, careful and delicate.
Wu Chengzu seemed very skilled at handling wounds, and soon both of Bai Yiranās hands were bandaged, "Are there any other injuries?"
"No!" Bai Yiran replied coldly, though her knees hurt badly, especially burning when rubbing against her pants.
But Bai Yiran wouldnāt tell Wu Chengzu. Firstly, she didnāt need his attentiveness, and secondly, she didnāt want him to touch her any further.
Wu Chengzu stood up, casually tossed the items onto the table, and sat in a chair to bandage his own facial wound. When dealing with himself, Wu Chengzu wasnāt as gentle, quickly handling his own wound.
He stood up again and said to Bai Yiran, "You better behave and stay here, donāt think about escaping again."
While Wu Chengzu was speaking, Bai Yiran wasnāt listening. She hugged her knees, automatically ignoring the presence of this man.
"Alsoā" Wu Chengzu had just stepped out of the doorway but then came back, looking at her with smiling eyes, "Tomorrow night weāll be taking a boat to leave for T Country. You donāt have much time left to stay here, use the remaining time to savor the air of your homeland."
This was the reason Wu Chengzu took Bai Yiran to the mountains today, because they would be leaving soon, he wanted Bai Yiran to properly experience her homeland once more.
Everything was going well, Wu Chengzu didnāt expect Bai Yiran to have the courage to escape. Her actions turned Wu Chengzuās good intentions sour.
Originally, he could have treated Bai Yiran gently and politely, just like before.
But after trying, Wu Chengzu realized he and Bai Yiran could never go back to those times. Now, he somewhat missed when Bai Yiran used to gently call him Mr. Wu.
Indeed, people shouldnāt be too greedy, shouldnāt ask for too much. In the past, Wu Chengzu didnāt like Bai Yiran calling him Mr. Wu. Now, she doesnāt call him that, but they canāt even be friends anymore.
Yes, how can they be friends? Heās a drug dealer, almost killed her a few years ago, and now heās killed her sister. She should hate him to death by now.
Wu Chengzu took a deep look at Bai Yiran sitting on the bed, and when he turned to leave, his eyes were filled with deep melancholy.
