Chapter Ten: Catching the Culprit

  "You..." had just uttered a word when Ye Yun was unable to make another sound.

  Good heavens! She's going to suffocate.

  Good heavens! How can he be so strong?

  Hypoxia caused Ye Yun to slowly lose consciousness, and her struggles gradually stopped.

  Gao Xu finally let go with a satisfied expression, revealing a hint of sinister smile, his hands gently stroking Ye Yun's face.

  "This is more like it! Come on, let Master pamper you." Gao Xiang said, slowly unbuttoning Ye Yun's clothes...

  ＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

  "Don't!" Ye Yun exclaimed, suddenly sitting up and feeling a sharp pain in her neck that brought tears to her eyes.

  Murong Ying rushed forward as soon as he saw Ye Yun wake up, supporting her and saying, "Miss Yun, you're awake, that's great."

  "Murong?" Ye Yun saw Murong Ying and only then realized that she was no longer in the Gao Manor, but had returned to Murong Ying's Black Shop.

  Her throat felt a sudden pang and Ye Yun dared not speak again.

  Suddenly remembering what happened before he fainted, he gritted his teeth in pain and said: "That's right! The murderer is the young master of the Gao Mansion, Gao Xu!"

  Murong Ying made a silencing gesture to her, "We already know everything. Gao Xu has been caught and confessed to the crime. Your throat was injured by him, the doctor said you need to rest well and not speak for the time being. If you want to say something, write it down!"

  Murong Yu handed over paper and pen, "Just write it here."

  "Who saved me?"

  She only remembered Gao Xuan pinching her, and then she lost consciousness.

  "It was Ling Feng. He found you first and rescued you from Gao Xu's hands." Murong Ying's eyes were ambiguous, "He rarely interferes in other people's business, though."

  Ye Yun found that she really disliked the gossipy look that occasionally appeared on Murong Yu's face.

  "What about Gao Xu now?" Ye Yun wrote again.

  "He has now been handed over to the authorities and has confessed to his crimes without hesitation. The people of the Gao family also admit that Gao Xu is mentally abnormal and has a split personality, and he is almost two different people during the day and night. That's why they warned you not to go out at night, otherwise the violent Gao Xu will take your life."

  "Why don't the people of Gaofu report to the authorities? They just stand by and watch as so many people are killed by Gao Xu, and they won't even feel a twinge of conscience?"

  "They also felt uneasy, but Gao Xu was the only son of his late wife, and no matter what, they didn't want Gao Xu to be beheaded. This is what Wu Ma, who just came to see you, told me. She didn't expect that it would still harm you and make you suffer, she's very regretful." Murong Rong said.

  "I'm not blaming her for my injury. She's already done a lot for me, helping me to cover up and warning me not to go out at night. It's just that I didn't listen to her!" Ye Yun wrote, smiling slightly at Mu Rongying, her hand unconsciously reaching up to touch her own neck.

  That cold feeling still lingered on her neck, and the despair she felt when facing death was still vivid in her mind.

  Is Gao Xu really going to kill all those innocent women one by one?

  That high-ranking official, clearly knowing that his own son is a murderous demon, still keeps bringing back concubines, it's simply aiding evil!

  Ye Yun's injury gradually healed under Murong Yu's meticulous care.

  It wasn't until after this encounter that Ye Yun discovered that Murong Ruo actually knew medical skills!

  "Yuner girl, take your medicine."

  Ye Yun saw the medicine in Murong Ruo's hand and frowned directly, "How many more days do I need to drink?"

  She has been drinking for seven days and her throat is still not fully recovered. She has disliked drinking Chinese medicine since she was a child, and recently she has drunk more than she has in the past twenty years.

  Murong Ying knew her thoughts and smiled, "Drink until you're satisfied."

  Still this answer! Ye Yun couldn't help but roll her eyes. She took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp.

  "Right, my wound is almost healed. Settle the remaining bill for me, it's time for me to leave." Yexun felt that the injury on her neck had long since healed.

  It's just that Murong Ying is worried and afraid of leaving behind a hidden illness, so she insists on her drinking medicine for several more days.

  Murong Ling's face showed a difficult expression, and he said: "Yun'er young lady, I'm very sorry, but for now, I still can't let you go. Before he left, Ling Feng instructed me that before his return, you cannot leave."

  "Why?" Ye Yun asked directly without thinking, and then an image flashed in her mind, "Ah, he said before that after this matter is over, he will introduce something for me to do, guaranteed to make money. Is it because of that thing?"

  "Maybe. He originally wanted to wait for you to get better, but coincidentally there was something at the villa, so he hurried back. Before leaving, he just asked me not to let you leave first." As for Ling Feng, this friend of his, Murong Yu also felt helpless, never liked explaining, and was lazy about saying an extra word.

  "Is it still a villa? Is he still the owner of some mountain villa?" Ye Yun smiled and said.

  "Haha, this girl is indeed cleverer than ordinary people. Indeed, Ling Feng is actually the master of Ling Miao Mountain Villa."

  Wiser than others? Ye Yun was speechless, he said so himself, something happened in the village, went back.

  "Didn't you say before that his identity was special and couldn't be told to me? Now it's okay to tell me?"

  "It doesn't matter. Actually, if you ask around a bit, even three-year-olds in this area know the great name of Lingmu Manor."

  "So famous? That must be very rich. Okay! I'll wait for him." Ye Yun nodded without hesitation.

  Although the 100,000 taels earned from Mu Rongying's place are enough to spend for a while, money is never too much. If Ling Feng can introduce her to a good job, that would be great.

  Murong Yu smiled wryly, "Indeed, just as Ling Feng said, as long as you mention silver, you will definitely agree."

  "Who can't get along with Yinzi? Before I go home, I have to survive here?" Ye Yun took a sip of water to moisten her throat.

  "By the way, I've always wanted to ask, where are you from? Your clothes look strange too. I've never seen anyone wear anything like that before." Mu Rongying had been curious for a long time, but hadn't had the chance to ask until now.

  "My home is very, very far away, so far that I may not be able to get there in my lifetime." Ye Yun sighed and hoped that Grandpa would hurry up and fix the time machine.

  "Will you never be able to walk for your whole life?" Murong Yu didn't believe it. "Then how did you get here?"

  "I don't know either. I was originally walking on the side of my home, but I don't know why I suddenly ended up in this desert. I walked for a long time before I met you guys." Ye Yun shook her head, her hand unconsciously reaching for the bracelet on her left wrist. "I wonder when I'll be able to go back? My family must be worried."

  "Although I don't quite understand," Mu Rongying, who had been staying by Ling Feng's side for a long time, also got used to this ambiguous way of speaking and didn't dig deeper into the question. "However, I believe you will definitely be able to return home quickly!"

  Ye Yun knew that Murong Ying was just comforting herself, and smiled, "Thanks! By the way, did Ling Feng say when he's coming back?"
