Chapter 284 Kid, Who Are You?
Gong Yu was slightly stunned, and he looked at Murong Ye with confusion in his eyes. The moonlight filtered through the window and illuminated Murong Ye’s back, making him look as if he was the god of darkness.

“How about going to America?” Murong Ye’s cold voice rang out again, in the darkness, somewhat in a fierce tone.

“America? Why?” Gong Yu was puzzled, as he got up and stared at Murong Ye. Standing in his own light, Murong Ye could not see Gong Yu’s expression clearly, but still fixed his eyes on his face.

Taking the remote control on the table, Murong Ye turned on the light. The sudden brightness nearly blinded their eyes, and they took a few minutes to adjust to the glare.

Getting up and walking by the door, Murong Ye picked up the folder that he had thrown at Fourth, and stepped towards Gong Yu again.

Taking the folder, Gong Yu looked it through briefly, and could not help frowning.

“Is there someone trying to set us up deliberately?” Gong Yu hit the nail on the head, as he instantly found the key to the problem.

“Yes, someone has released a message that we are going all out to look for Xiao Xi. They are always bearing grudges, and worrying that they will come to the same end as Jiuqing Gong. This time, Black Collar Organization joined hands with Red Dragon Gang, and schemed to eradicate us, at this crucial period, when we have no time to see to matters. In this case, they will truly dominate this city!”

“Since Murong Gang quit their competition, we are not a threat to them anymore.”

“Having said that, Murong Gang’s past reputation must have made them afraid all this while, even though the present Murong Family is different, especially after they witnessed Jiuqing Gang’s destruction.”

“So, what do I need to prepare for going to the US?”

Murong Ye was surprised to hear this, because he had not expected that Gong Yu would agree to his suggestion that easily. He stared at Gong Yu for a while.

“Em, you can help Lisa to stabilize the situation first. That will be enough to deal a blow to them. There is no need to kill them all. Teaching them a lesson will be fine. If we behave too arrogantly and eradicate them, we may attract more attention and enemies. Trees attract wind. What we should do is to let them know that we stand no nonsense, and they can’t afford the loss if they try to provoke us!”

“Well! I understand. As for Xiao Xi…” Gong Yu accepted Murong Ye’s arrangement, but he still felt worried about Murong Yunxi.

“Check this.” Murong Ye passed Gong Yu the second folder that Fourth had handed over to him.

Gong Yu took the folder. After looking it through, his face changed color, and he turned to Murong Ye in confusion. “How could it be so coincidental? It’s odd!”

“Well, you have figured out the clues that someone can’t hold back!” Standing up, Murong Ye looked out of the window into the distance. The lines between his eyebrows deepened.

“So, will Xiao Xi be in danger? Or has she been captured by them?” Gong Yu had a strong suspicion, which shocked him. He was sweating, and his heart was beating fast, as if thousands of horses were galloping over it, and left a trail of dust.

“…” Murong Ye was silent. He had also thought of this, but found it hard to accept. If so, he would spare no efforts to make them suffer a painful price, even if it would cause destruction to both sides.

Gong Yu thought for a while, then he left the two folders on Murong Ye’s desk. “Big brother, Xiao Xi is in your hands, and I will take over the issues in America. Trust me!”

After that, he gave Murong Ye a sharp glance, and left.

That night, Gong Yu left for America with Second and Little Three. Fourth and Little Five stayed back to help Murong Ye. The two clarified their responsibilities, hoping that everything would be fine after Murong Yunxi came back.

Lu Yang’s phone was ringing, as he massaged Murong Yunxi and tucked her in.

The call was from Lu Boyi. Stepping out to the balcony, Lu Yang answered the phone helplessly, “Hello, dad.”

“When do you plan to go back to the army?” As he expected, Lu Boyi questioned him forcefully from the start. That elder lead of the army showed an imposing manner, even to his son.

“Dad, Xiao Xi has not woken up, so how could I leave? Besides, her situation is complicated!” Lu Yang tried to communicate with his father in a polite way.

“Xiaoyang, you should remember that you’re a soldier and have your own duty and responsibility. You cannot disregard the interests of your country, for the sake of your private issues. You should have this in your mind from the first day you joined the army!”

“I understand, but dad, I can’t leave her on her own!”

“She has her own family. Why can’t you let her go? Besides, you should know who she is.”

Lu Boyi’s words hurt Lu Yang’s heart deeply! Yes, he had no relationship with her. There seemed to be a big hand squeezing his heart. It was quite painful, which made him lose his tongue.

“Xiaoyang, don’t be so capricious. You have always been a kid who knows the score. I know you can handle it, so don’t let me down!” Lu Boyi finally softened his tone and tried to persuade Lu Yang, in a loving father’s way, which was something rare for him.

“Dad, I will think it over!” Lu Boyi’s attitude made Lu Yang feel guilty instead. His tone of speaking was no longer harsh.

After he hung up, Lu Yang breathed in the fresh air on the balcony. The air was slightly cold and thin, and spread through his lungs and body. Lu Yang suddenly felt cold inside and out.

Turning back and going into the room, feeling upset, he sat by the bed and looked at Murong Yunxi, who looked as beautiful as a sleeping beauty. A sense of dilemma was entangled in his mind.

Lu Boyi’s words were harsh, but as a soldier, he understood and totally agreed. As for Murong Yunxi, she occupied the softest place in his mind, so he could not bear to leave her on her own.

He held her tender hands again and rubbed them between his palms. Every moment when he touched her, he would become more addicted and no longer wanted to leave her. It seemed that she had cast a spell on him. Otherwise, he would not be so eager to hold her hands, each time longer than the previous time.

…

Staring at Murong Yunxi, Lu Yang did not fall asleep until sunrise.

In his dream, he seemed to feel her small hands in his palms moving slightly. He was overjoyed and laughing all the time.

In a short while, he frowned, because he knew that she would leave after she woke up. Then, he could no longer hold her hands like this.

As he expected, the warm and soft touch disappeared. Then, he felt a slight touch between his eyebrows, as if someone was trying to smooth out the crease on his forehead.

He was shocked, opened his eyes and got up.

His vision was slightly blurred and the face that always appeared in his dreams, was right in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and saw that the beautiful girl was smiling at him.

He was shocked, and stretched his hands out to touch her face. During the past month, she seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

The soft and tender touch from her finger tips delighted him.

“Xiao Xi, are you awake?” Lu Yang looked at Murong Yunxi in disbelief. He was too excited to remember that she would leave from him, once she woke up, but just laughed with happiness.

He did not stop laughing, until he felt his cheeks becoming a little stiff.

“Xiao Xi, do you feel any pain?” Lu Yang examined Murong Yunxi thoroughly, his eyes full of concern.

Murong Yunxi shook her head slightly. She could not make any sound, because she had not spoken for such a long time.

“Xiao Xi, just wait. I will call for a doctor to give you a thorough examination.”

When he saw Murong Yunxiao nodding slightly, Lu Yang ran out of the ward. He could have been too excited, because he forgot that there was a call button at the bedside.

Murong Yunxi looked around her surroundings, and saw a little girl lying next to the window. The little girl was pretty and cute, and was still sleeping.

Murong Yunxi felt confused about the identity of this little girl.

Perhaps, the little girl could feel Murong Yunxi’s inquiring look. When Murong Yunxi was thinking about that, the little girl slowly opened her eyes, and looked directly at her.

The little girl was excited to find that Murong Yunxi had finally woken up. She got up and wriggled her way to Murong Yunxi’s bed. She leaned toward Yunxi to look at her.

A sense of surprise showed in her black, bean-like small eyes. Curving her small mouth, she gave Murong Yunxi a sweet smile.

Yunxi also felt curious about the little girl, stretching her hand to touch her face. The girl’s face was soft and tender. It was true that a child’s skin was very delicate.

Murong Yunxi tried to say something, but could not make a sound.

The little girl rolled her small eyes. Then, she climbed to the bedside table, and gave Murong Yunxi a glass of water.

Lu Yang would always prepare a cup of water for the little girl, and told her to drink it every morning when she woke up. She guessed that Murong Yunxi probably needed some water to drink.

Murong Yunxi had lain on the bed for too long. Due to lack of strength, she struggled to sit up and slowly leaned against the bed rest.

She smiled at the little girl and mouthed, “thank you!”

Taking the water from the girl, she took small sips. After draining the cup, her throat felt better. She tried to say something, and a hoarse and low sound came out of her mouth. She felt happy that her throat had recovered slightly.

She raised her hand to caress the little girl’s forehead and asked lightly, “Kid, who are you?”

The little girl was stunned at Murong Yunxi’s words and burst into tears.
