The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Chapter 629: Chapter 610

Li Ruo was slightly stunned, but that made sense. Someone kindly saved you; how could you not show your gratitude? Even if you didn’t show gratitude, you shouldn’t trouble their work, right? Therefore, Li Ruo nodded immediately and said, "Ok then!"

Afterward, Li Ruo immediately got on the police car. Little Yezi in Li Ruo’s arms suddenly vomited blood. Li Ruo shouted urgently, "Oh God, Little Yezi, what’s wrong with you?"

Seeing Little Yezi vomiting blood, it felt like a knife was twisting inside Li Ruo. She held Little Yezi close, crying, while the police officer driving the car immediately turned around and sped towards the nearest pet hospital. Li Ruo handed Little Yezi over to the veterinarian urgently.

After a thorough examination by the veterinarian, the conclusion was that Little Yezi had a fractured chest bone that had punctured her internal organs, requiring emergency surgery. And a deposit of US$ 1,000 was needed. Money was naturally not an issue for Li Ruo; even if it cost one million dollars, as long as Little Yezi could be saved, it would be worth it.

The procedure was processed quickly. The veterinarian had already started the emergency medical procedure.

Little Yezi had to be turned back into a meat ball, as the surgery required all her fur to be shaved, anesthetics to be injected, and the surgery to stabilize her bones ensued. Soon. Li Ruo waited anxiously on the side, with the police officer continuing his guard nearby. Li Ruo glanced at him and asked, "I don’t know your name yet!"

"Oh, I am Nakamura Fumi, Japanese!" The officer revealed a charming smile. Honestly, this guy did have some looks. His eyes were quite large, not suffering from the traditional Japanese stereotype: short! This guy was about 176 cm tall. In Japan, he could probably make a bunch of girls scream crazily, but in Li Ruo’s eyes, he was still a Japanese.

"Oh, thank you, Mr. Nakamura! I am Li Ruo!" Li Ruo said gratefully. Whether Japanese or Chinese, he was still your lifesaver. Li Ruo was merely acting out of gratitude.

"No need for thanks, Miss Li!" Nakamura Fumi hurriedly waved his hands, his face bashful.

Soon, Little Yezi’s surgery was completed. According to the doctor, the operation went very smoothly, and everything was normal. However, Little Yezi must be observed in the hospital for 24 hours and not eat anything else, with only nutrient fluids allowed for the next three days.

"Ok, thank you, Doctor!" Li Ruo gratefully looked at the doctor.

"No problem, this is our duty!" The doctor said with a faint smile. Though he said so, who knows if it would still be considered his duty without money. The United States, though democratic, was ultimately a capitalist country. Money was always the boss.

Little Yezi’s condition eased; the temporary vomiting was just because the internal wounds had not yet healed, but with the doctor present, Li Ruo was quite relieved. Li Ruo looked at Little Yezi, confined in a metal cage, and said tenderly, "Little Yezi, don’t worry, I will come to see you tomorrow!"

"Woof woof..." Little Yezi seemed to sense something was wrong with Li Ruo. It immediately realized that Li Ruo was going to leave it there, so it became extremely anxious and started barking wildly. Nakamura Fumi then said to Li Ruo, "Miss Li Ruo, I think we should head back now!"

"Sure!" Li Ruo nodded.

Afterward, Nakamura Fumi escorted Li Ruo out with great diligence. Although Little Yezi kept barking behind them, Li Ruo did not look back. She knew that Little Yezi needed treatment. Emotional decisions would only worsen its condition or possibly infect the wounds.

"Miss Li Ruo, where do you live? I will personally take you back!" Nakamura Fumi said hurriedly.

"Huh?" Li Ruo asked curiously, "Mr. Nakamura, didn’t you say you were going to take me to the police station to record a statement just now?"

"Ah, haha, I almost forgot!" Nakamura Fumi nodded quickly and then respectfully escorted Li Ruo into the car. He drove, pulling Li Ruo towards the police station. Inside a local police station in New York, Li Ruo recounted the situation at the time, fulfilling her responsibility to give a statement.

"Turns out Miss Li Ruo is an entrepreneur! So young, truly remarkable!" Nakamura Fumi looked at Li Ruo with admiration.

"Not really. Mr. Nakamura, also so young, has emigrated to the United States and even became a police officer; that is truly impressive!" Li Ruo replied with a light smile.

Mr. Nakamura spoke as he escorted Li Ruo out of the police station, smiling, "Hehe, when I was very young, my parents were working in the United States. Later, I worked hard to get admitted to a university in the US, and then I settled down there. The development in my home country was too restrictive; I prefer this immigrant nation. Miss Li could also consider immigrating to the United States, where there is democracy and human rights."

"This... Currently, that’s not within my considerations!" Li Ruo smiled politely.

"What’s good about China? It’s an authoritarian country, and the people’s rights are not protected. The officials act arbitrarily and play the role of accomplices to tyranny!" Mr. Nakamura looked at Li Ruo and said, "Who knows, one day, Miss Li’s assets might be confiscated by the state!"

"Mr. Nakamura, for that remark, you owe me an apology!" Li Ruo looked at him seriously and said, "Perhaps China does not do well in some areas, but I firmly believe that Chinese officials are constantly improving themselves and the system is continuously being perfected. These are things that you, as an outsider, will never be able to see or feel."

"Alright, I apologize for my words and actions just now!" Mr. Nakamura quickly nodded his head and then said, "To show my apology, I insist on driving you home. Please don’t refuse; give me a chance to amend my ways!"

"Well... thank you!" Li Ruo nodded her head. She really wanted to refuse, but thinking of his earnest pleading, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. In the end, she agreed.

Mr. Nakamura was very happy and immediately drove his car out of the garage, then personally opened the car door for Li Ruo. The car quickly left the police station. Li Ruo was staying at a friend’s house in the United States, located in New York New District, a gathering place for the wealthy.

The car slowly arrived at New York New District, an area with sparse villas. The houses were spaced far apart, and while the US had low housing density, the planning was very reasonable, and the amenities were complete. Unlike some places in China where they build lots of houses but with no related facilities. It would take a half-hour drive to the hospital, and a thirty-minute drive to the supermarket...

"Is Miss Li staying here?" Mr. Nakamura smiled and said, "It really is a place for the wealthy!"

"I’m just staying at a friend’s house!" Li Ruo smiled faintly. All along, Mr. Nakamura did not know what Li Ruo’s company was, nor did he know how much she was worth. From Li Ruo, he only knew she was an entrepreneur. As for her net worth, he had no idea. Thus, Mr. Nakamura always thought Li Ruo was a small business owner, whose assets might only be at the million-dollar level, not knowing that Li Ruo was in fact a super-rich tycoon.

"That’s fine... I’ll take you there, just tell me the address!" Following Li Ruo’s directions, Mr. Nakamura soon arrived at her friend’s residence.

Upon reaching the destination, Li Ruo smiled at Mr. Nakamura and said, "Thank you, Mr. Nakamura!"

"You’re welcome!" Mr. Nakamura scratched his head, and just as Li Ruo was turning away, he quickly called out, "Miss Li, may I... have your phone number? I think... we might have the opportunity to talk again in the future!"

Li Ruo was momentarily taken aback, then turned around and wrote down her number for Mr. Nakamura. In the United States, having an extra friend is always a plus. Besides, Mr. Nakamura didn’t seem like a bad person, so Li Ruo left her number with him, unknowingly setting the stage for significant trouble later.

"Thank you!" Mr. Nakamura was extremely excited to get Li Ruo’s number.

After bidding farewell to Li Ruo, Mr. Nakamura drove off excitedly, the speed of his car noticeably faster, probably because he was thrilled. Li Ruo watched Mr. Nakamura’s departing figure for a second before turning to enter the house.

"Xiao Ruo, you’re back?" A sultry woman in pajamas was sitting in the living room.

"Xiao Hui, did you just wake up?" Li Ruo was astonished.

"Yeah!" The woman named Xiao Hui nodded and said, "I was out late last night with John!"

"You, that guy John isn’t good news, I advise you to break it off!" Li Ruo placed her bag on the couch. Nearby, Xiao Hui smiled and said, "Xiao Ruo, you’re mistaken, you don’t understand John, he may be a bit flirty, but his heart isn’t bad, and he is ambitious!"

"Hmph, I don’t believe it!" Li Ruo snorted.

In fact, Li Ruo’s dislike for John wasn’t recent; this guy truly wasn’t good news. Not only was he a womanizer, he even made advances on Li Ruo several times, attempting to overpower her. Fortunately, Li Ruo had always managed to escape cleverly; otherwise, she might have ended up under him. Moreover, this guy even tried to drug Li Ruo’s drink. If she hadn’t seen it, things could have ended very badly.
