Chapter 22

Xu Yun, of course, knew that the mighty Violent Fox would not fear death; what she feared was who would take care of Guo Guo after she died. Hehe, who would have thought that the little princess of the Feng Qiansui family would have such great charm, making even Qiu Yan forget herself for her sake.

At this moment, Ruan Qingshuang and Guo Guo also came down from upstairs.

Although Ruan Qingshuang felt that Qiu Yan was not approachable, she still kindly said, "The room is ready, Qiu Yan. You don't look well. Why don't you go up and rest for a while?"

"Thank you." The fact that Qiu Yan could say these two words meant she was extremely grateful to the other party!

Qiu Yan went upstairs to rest, and Guo Guo circled around Xu Yun, asking all sorts of questions. Xu Yun just hummed and hawed, not really answering. Saying too much would only confuse Guo Guo, and this way, she wouldn't worry too much.

Ruan Qingshuang also learned some of the situation. Something had happened at Guo Guo's home, and Qiu Yan had brought her out, accidentally losing her. However, Xu Yun didn't say much about the specifics.

...

Before lunchtime, Qin Wan'er returned to the herbal restaurant with great enthusiasm. As soon as she entered, she took out 30,000 yuan from her pocket and slapped it on the counter in front of Guo Guo.

"Wow!" Guo Guo's eyes sparkled with greed. "Sister Wan'er, did you win the lottery?"

"Hmm, if you want to think that, I don't mind." Qin Wan'er chuckled and quickly pulled Ruan Qingshuang to her side. "Sister Qingshuang, today the Four Wolves Gang went to bail out their people and obediently returned the money they extorted from you!"

Ruan Qingshuang was surprised. She had never expected to recover the 20,000 yuan extorted by Lu Bao and the Four Wolves Gang. Now, not only had it been recovered, but there was an extra 10,000 yuan.

Guo Guo was not one to be polite; the extra 10,000 yuan could be considered interest.

"Since you're here, don't be shy. Come in and help with the ingredients." Xu Yun treated Qin Wan'er like family.

Qin Wan'er, who was willing to accept her loss, rolled her eyes at Xu Yun. "Help with the ingredients, sure, what's the big deal?"

At this moment, Qiu Yan also came down from upstairs. Qin Wan'er looked up the stairs, her body slightly trembling.

Perhaps killers and police officers have a natural sixth sense of strong aversion, so when their eyes met, both of them paused. In the afternoon, when they met, Guo Guo was there, so neither of them noticed the other. But now it was different.

"Cough! What are you staring at? Are you not going to work unless Sister Qingshuang tells you to?" Xu Yun coughed to break the tension. "Those who should serve the dishes, serve the dishes. Those who should wash the vegetables, go wash the vegetables."

As Xu Yun finished speaking, two male and two female customers entered the herbal restaurant.

Guo Guo quickly dived into the front desk, ready to make money. Qiu Yan and Qin Wan'er stopped focusing on each other and went back to their tasks.

"Guo Guo, who is Qin Wan'er?" Qiu Yan asked casually during a break.

Guo Guo said proudly, "Sister Wan'er is a police officer. I'm not afraid of those troublemakers anymore since I met her."

Police officer?!!

Qiu Yan couldn't help but be more wary of Qin Wan'er. As someone from the underground world, she naturally had a strong aversion to police officers. Her dislike of them was no less than Xu Yun's.

The herbal restaurant was already doing great business, and after tonight, it would be even more popular! The chef was as good as a royal chef, no need to say more.

The owner, Ruan Qingshuang, had delicate eyebrows like autumn water, smooth skin that accompanied the light breeze, and was both beautiful and wise!

The waitress, Qiu Yan, had skin as white as snow, a gentle demeanor like a maiden, and a beauty that surpassed the world!

The helper, Qin Wan'er, had soft hands, skin as smooth as white jade, and was sweet and dignified!

The front desk cashier, Guo Guo, was smart and cute, charming and lovable!

Could such a restaurant not be popular? The four beauties—sweet, charming, beautiful, and stunning—gathered in the herbal restaurant, and the happiest person was the chef busy cooking. The Four Wolves Gang probably finally understood why Xu Yun preferred to stay here rather than go out to conquer the world with them.

The herbal restaurant was packed all night! Some people ordered dishes just to get Qiu Yan or Ruan Qingshuang to come closer to them. Xu Yun kept thinking, if these guys knew Qiu Yan was a ruthless female demon, would they still eat what she served?

Qin Wan'er's arms were sore, and she regretted it deeply. If she had known, she wouldn't have made such a bet with Xu Yun.

Xu Yun, on the other hand, was much more relaxed. He just had to stir the wok a few times and assigned all the tasks to Qin Wan'er, showing no mercy. What could he do? Qin Wan'er was a police officer.

"Hey, Xu Yun, what does Guo Guo's sister do?" Qin Wan'er always felt something strange about Qiu Yan.

"Uh..." Xu Yun couldn't tell the truth, so he made something up. "I heard she used to be a flight attendant. What do you think, isn't she pretty?"

Qin Wan'er nodded half-believing, half-doubting. "She is pretty, but I always feel something different about her. She gives me a cold feeling."

"High places are cold. That's how flight attendants are." Xu Yun explained.

Their conversation didn't escape Qiu Yan's ears, but fortunately, Qin Wan'er didn't say anything else. Otherwise, if they had a conflict, Xu Yun wouldn't know how to mediate.

The refrigerator in the herbal restaurant was finally empty, and they could close for the night! Guo Guo's eyes were red from counting the money. The restaurant had made over 10,000 yuan in one night, which was astonishing for a small-scale restaurant like Ruan Qingshuang's.

"Should we celebrate?" Qin Wan'er had never experienced such success and was naturally excited. "Should I buy some beer?"

"But I can't drink." Ruan Qingshuang was taken aback. She wanted to celebrate, but drinking wasn't her strong suit.

Qiu Yan was still quiet. She had already learned from Guo Guo that Ruan Qingshuang was a police officer, so she wasn't interested in Qin Wan'er and went upstairs.

Qin Wan'er didn't mind. She didn't like the cold feeling Qiu Yan gave off.

Guo Guo, seeing Qiu Yan go upstairs, shook her head. "Sister Wan'er, I'd like to drink beer with you, but I'm still young. What if I become an alcoholic? Then no one would dare to marry me."

"Ha ha..." Qin Wan'er laughed awkwardly, her face turning black. "I believe that anyone who dares to marry you is definitely not ordinary."

Ruan Qingshuang couldn't help but sigh. With a girl as unique as Guo Guo, who knew what kind of young man would be able to handle her in the future.

In the end, Qin Wan'er could only look at Xu Yun with hope. He was probably the only one who would support her in drinking beer to celebrate.

"Uh, that... After drinking, I might do something crazy. I'm still a pure young man. Who would be responsible if something happened?" Xu Yun said, pulling up the collar of his tank top, looking nervous as if he had been violated.

Qin Wan'er was speechless. "Who said I wanted to do something crazy with you after drinking? You're dreaming! Even if something happened, no one would make you responsible!"

"Wan'er, if you really want to drink, I'll drink with you." Ruan Qingshuang smiled, not wanting to dampen Qin Wan'er's spirits. She was indeed very happy.

"Still, no. Sister Qingshuang." Qin Wan'er rolled her eyes at Xu Yun. "I'm not comfortable with this guy here. What if something happens..."

Ruan Qingshuang blushed. "We're not alone. There's Guo Guo and Qiu Yan too."

Guo Guo suddenly waved her electronic watch. "Sister Wan'er, when we bought clothes today, you said you had to work the night shift. Does that mean you work at night?"

"Oh no!" Qin Wan'er's face changed. How could she forget her shift? It was 8 PM, and it was already past 9 PM. "I have to go. I'm on duty today! Bye, bye!"

Ruan Qingshuang, hearing Guo Guo, remembered the matter. She looked at Qin Wan'er apologetically. If it weren't for her help, she would have been late. "Wan'er, be careful on your way. Stay safe!"

"Okay!" Qin Wan'er didn't say more and quickly left, riding her bike away.

Seeing Qin Wan'er leave, Xu Yun yawned and said, "I'm a bit tired. I'll go up and rest for a while."

"Okay, get some rest early." Ruan Qingshuang nodded, knowing how hard Xu Yun had worked these past few days.

Xu Yun didn't go upstairs to rest. He had noticed that Qiu Yan's face was pale when she left. He was worried that if her internal injuries worsened, even his master would be helpless.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Qiu Yan, hearing the knock, asked warily, "Who is it?"

Xu Yun didn't answer and opened the door directly. He knew Qiu Yan's personality; talking to her wouldn't help. He needed to show her through action that he could be trusted.

"You have two choices now." Xu Yun closed the door and took a small bottle from his pocket. "The first choice, take the medicine! I have seven Nine Treasure Soul Restoring Pills left. They can extend your life for a month, but after that, even a god can't save you."

Seven Nine Treasure Soul Restoring Pills!?

Qiu Yan's jaw almost dropped in shock! This precious medicine was worth over a million in the black market and wasn't even available for money. When Feng Qiansui unified Suzhou and Hangzhou, he only had five or six pills!

And this disheveled guy in front of her had just taken out seven pills. Including the one he had given her before, that made eight!

Phew! Qiu Yan couldn't help but draw a deep breath. This guy was definitely not as simple as she had thought. He could chat with a second-rate expert like Mountain Cat and still have so many precious medicines. Who was this guy?

Xu Yun didn't pay attention to Qiu Yan's shock and continued, "The second choice, trust me. I can't guarantee that I can cure your internal injuries right now, but with long-term treatment, you will definitely recover."

Qiu Yan was silent for a moment, and a faint smile appeared on her lips, a smile that seemed to see through the world. "Okay, I trust you."

As Xu Yun spoke, he already had a delicate silver box in his hand, filled with 108 silver needles. "Your opponent is not a simple person. They managed to injure your meridians with their internal energy. That's not easy."

Hmph, Qiu Yan's eyes narrowed. She wasn't afraid of a one-on-one fight, but being attacked by two top-notch experts, she had no chance of winning.

"Take off your clothes." Xu Yun said casually, taking out a few silver needles.
