Chapter 952: Take Xie Yan Away
Mo Bing, who was still wearing a poker face, looked at Gu Chaoyan and did not stop her. It was a man she knew.
Zhou Huaijin also joined them at this point.
He was slightly surprised, seeing that it was Xie Yan in front of them.
Xie Yan was Zhou Huailing’s strategist. It was publicly known to everyone in the capital. He was the man that followed Zhou Huailing around and helped him come up with solutions to different things.
What was he doing here on the path of Bingzhou and why was he so badly injured as to stop a wagon. What had happened!?
Xie Yan had not expected that it was Gu Chaoyan and Lord Huai he was running into. He was in a very crucial situation right now and he had no other way out – he needed someone to save his life.
In the meanwhile, he was also quite glad that it was Gu Chaoyan and Lord Huai he ran into, since they were the Heir’s enemy and they were definitely not going to sell him out, even if they might not save his life, but Xie Yan still tried and said anxiously, “Help me, please!”
Gu Chaoyan thought for a while about this man. She had to know what happened, even if she did not have the intention to save him.
So under such an emergency, she could only just take him away first.
Gu Chaoyan turned to Zhou Huaijin, who nodded.
Gu Chaoyan said straightforwardly, “Take him, and clean the blood traces.”
Mo Bing nodded and threw a look at this man.
He was a smart person, who was not caught by his enemies despite being so badly injured. He had the brain to have dealt with the blood traces, although he was so badly injured. He wiped his blood on his body and did not allow it to flow too much. He even tied some pieces of clothing around his feet so no footprints would remain.
So it wasn’t that difficult for Mo Bing to clean up the blood traces, anyway.
When Xie Yan was taken into the wagon, they continued to head towards Bingzhou.
Ignoring the wound on his body, Xie Yan lifted the drapery and looked out, fully aware that the wagon was heading towards Bingzhou, which he agreed to. It was the most dangerous yet safest place for him, since the Heir’s men should not expect that he was running back to Bingzhou, after trying to run away from it.
...
He had gotten his life saved, and as for others, he needed to come up with another plan.
Well…
He had not expected that the Heir not only failed to keep his promise, but also tried to have him killed.
He had been working for the Heir devotedly throughout his whole life, so why must the Heir have him tormented? He was not supposed to die now.
Because of Xie Yan’s appearance, Gu Chaoyan could not continue to head back to the capital. Instead, they decided to spend the night at the hotel in the outskirts of Bingzhou first.
Xie Yan was badly injured, but Mo Bing had treated the wounds for him. Most of the wounds were on his body, so when his clothes were changed, he looked as if he had never been injured.
They moved in, after they got the hostels arranged.
Zhou Huaijin asked the hidden guards of Shadow Door to put on some medicine for Xie Yan. He looked covered in blood, but most of the wounds were just on the surface, which required only some light medicine.
Gu Chaoyan did not suggest helping him, nor did she offer any pills for this man.
Gu Chaoyan was a doctor, but she did not treat every patient that came into her sight.
Xie Yan had done many terrible things with Zhou Huailing, and it was unknown what happened to him. Also, she did not even need to do anything about this man, since his wounds were not serious at all.
When his wounds were properly dealt with, Gu Chaoyan went to see Xie Yan.
Instead of starting any chitchat, she asked directly, “What is going on?”
