CHAPTER 655: CHAPTER 657: REUNION WITH AN OLD FRIEND (4 MORE UPDATES)

Yun Jinnian heard the words and paused with the chopsticks in hand.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up a dish to taste and, finding it good, helped himself to another chopstickful.

It wasn’t that she was heartless and would not save a life.

But rather, the owner is reflected in their pet.

If a person is rude and impolite, she has already taken a dislike to them without meeting, so naturally, she would not lend a hand.

The tea house was not large, with only four tables laid out in the lobby, a counter, and on the other side, a wall with alcohol on display.

The doorway was not very big, either.

So when the bearded burly man stood at the entrance, he blocked the light, causing the room to suddenly darken.

The man scanned the room.

There were people seated at two tables, one with two men, the other with a middle-aged man and two children, among whom was a beautifully dressed woman who also appeared young.

"I’m asking if any of you know medical skills?" he demanded.

The two men shrank their necks, bowing their heads, focusing on the food in front of them to avoid trouble.

The bearded man turned his gaze to Yun Jinnian’s table, his eyes widening, "How about you, does anyone here know medical skills?"

Yun Jinnian didn’t respond.

She had the right to ignore someone so impolite.

Uncle Cheng did the same.

Seeing this, the bearded man was about to erupt in anger when he heard a gentle voice say, "Zhao Mang, don’t be ridiculous!"

The voice was soft, yet it made Zhao Mang bow his head and call out guiltily, "Master!"

He stepped aside and cleared the way.

Yun Jinnian, hearing the voice, frowned slightly, feeling a trace of familiarity.

Looking up with her chopsticks in hand, she saw two men carrying a wheelchair, and in the wheelchair sat a man in blue brocade, his complexion pale and giving her a frail smile.

If it wasn’t Zhou Yunshen, then who could it be?

Teng Fei, who followed inside, smiled upon seeing Yun Jinnian, "Miss Yun, when the master said he recognized the carriage earlier, I didn’t believe it, but it turns out it really is you!"

At this point, Yun Jinnian could do nothing but put down her chopsticks and stand up to greet him, bowing slightly, "Greetings to Young Master Zhou!"

"Miss, please, no formalities," said Zhou Yunshen in a weak murmur.

It seemed that on top of his previous illness, he had also been injured.

Yun Jinnian straightened up, standing to one side in silence.

The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Zhou Yunshen knew that his appearance had once again left a bad impression on Yun Jinnian. Irritated, he cast a sidelong glance at Zhao Mang, who immediately bowed his head and stealthily moved towards the outside.

Zhou Yunshen watched, finding the situation bittersweet and amusing, then turned to Yun Jinnian with a gentle inquiry, "Miss Yun, are you heading out?"

"Yes," she replied.

"And where to?" he asked.

Yun Jinnian pressed her lips together and answered, "To Huguo Temple, to visit my mother."

Zhou Yunshen hesitated.

He wanted to ask Yun Jinnian to examine him, but he could not bring himself to ask.

Watching Yun Jinnian, his hand on the wheelchair tightened into a fist.

Yun Jinnian, observing Zhou Yunshen, took a deep breath and then said, "Young Master Zhou, it seems your condition has worsened?"

"Yes, a few days ago I was stabbed by an assassin," Zhou Yunshen said casually, thinking about that night. If it wasn’t for the fact that the assassin was alone and he had many people with him, skilled in martial arts, who ganged up on the assassin, he might not have survived.

Still, he suffered severe internal and external injuries.

Five of his people died, ten sustained serious injuries, and thirty had minor injuries. Yet they still let the injured assassin escape!

"How about I take a look at you first?" she offered.

She did not want to get involved, but at this point, it was too late not to intervene.

Zhou Yunshen nodded.

Immediately, Teng Fei cleared the room, courteously ushering the two men who were too frightened to move out and tossing a gold ingot to the shopkeeper, "From this moment on, this tea house is not serving anyone. Go wherever you please that’s out of the way!"
