Chapter 1161: Chapter 1161: Seeking Medical Advice in Xuandu City (2)

"Who would have thought that Xiao Yu wasn’t worried at all? She nodded with a smile and said, ’You don’t need to worry, I have a premonition that my family will definitely recognize me.’

The next day, at the small villa located beside the An Family Mansion.

The miserable Tan Yulin climbed out of the car with a woeful expression on his face. As he walked into the villa, he silently cursed Chiang Yi’s group in his heart. A bunch of heartless people—it was outrageous that they pushed him to enter the lion’s den! These days, the Boss has been like a walking iceberg. Standing twenty meters away from him still made people feel chilled to the bone. And now they chose *him* to wake the Boss up?! Their reasoning? He had the fastest escape speed, and if the Boss—who hadn’t slept for half a month—suddenly flew into a rage, his speed might let him keep half his life.

Bah! Tan Yulin let out two bitter hums, took out the Master Key, and unlocked the villa’s door.

’Seriously! Thank goodness the Boss had previously shown me the villa’s defense layout, or I would’ve been shot dead by arrows everywhere...’

Tan Yulin took off his shoes with a defeated sigh and stepped inside the room, looking around.

This was his first time visiting the private villa where Gu Yelin and An Yiqing used to spend time together. Though he didn’t understand much about design, he could tell just from the small details in the décor that Gu Yelin and An Yiqing had poured their hearts into everything here.

The room’s color scheme was a warm, soft yellow tone, exuding a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Yet, with the mistress of the house gone, even this peaceful villa carried a hint of melancholy.

Letting out a quiet sigh, Tan Yulin stepped upstairs. Perhaps it was due to sheer exhaustion from lack of sleep, but the usually vigilant Gu Yelin hadn’t noticed Tan Yulin’s arrival.

’Boss? Wake up!’ Tan Yulin gently pushed Gu Yelin, but got no response.

’Boss, the sun’s shining on your back already! Get up!’ Tan Yulin yelled at the top of his lungs, but the sleeping Gu Yelin only furrowed his brows slightly without waking.

Oh my goodness! Just how drained must he be?

Tan Yulin had spent years at Gu Yelin’s side, joining him in countless battles both big and small. There were times when they hadn’t slept for half a month, even a whole month, yet Gu Yelin had always been like an iron man. No matter how long he went without rest, he could somehow maintain peak energy and alertness.

But something like today—Tan Yulin had never seen it before.

Letting out a resigned sigh, he scratched his head in frustration. The Boss had clearly been emotionally wrecked, and now his exhaustion was both physical and mental. That’s why he had fallen to such a state.

Tan Yulin stared blankly at Gu Yelin for a long time, then, in his misery, made what would prove to be the worst decision of his life.

Slowly, he bent down and reached toward the soft, fluffy white pillow cradled in Gu Yelin’s arms.

The moment he touched the pillow, Gu Yelin, who had been deep in slumber, suddenly snapped awake. Though his mind hadn’t yet cleared, his body acted instinctively and moved at lightning speed. He gripped Tan Yulin’s shoulder with one hand while his right hand clenched tightly around Tan Yulin’s throat, radiating pure bloodlust.

’Cough—cough! Boss—it’s me! It’s me!’

Tan Yulin’s face turned a shade of purple, his eyes rolling back. Even as the supposed "speed king," he couldn’t mount even the slightest resistance against Gu Yelin in this enraged state.

Seemingly stirred by the familiar voice, the fury-filled Gu Yelin’s grip slackened for an instant. The storm in his eyes gradually dissipated as his full awareness returned.

He released Tan Yulin and cast him a cold glance before bending down to retrieve a small jar of ointment from the drawer.

’Apply it. For the injury.’

Tan Yulin hurriedly took the ointment as if receiving a precious treasure. Whatever the Boss handed over was definitely top-quality. Sure enough, as soon as he applied it, the burning sensation on his neck vanished in seconds.

’This was left behind by Qing.’

Perhaps noticing Tan Yulin’s puzzlement, Gu Yelin—for the first time in half a month—added a remark that could only be described as "unnecessary."
