After speaking, Ke Teng charged out like a madman, bypassing the two of them.
Xu Yanchuan had no time to stop him.
Seeing him flee, he pulled Jiang Nan Fang up from the ground and went inside to find supplies to bandage her arm, preparing to take her to the hospital.
Ke Teng, having lost his beloved pet, was consumed by rage.
As he rode the elevator down to the first floor, he furiously contemplated how to make Jiang Nan Fang pay for his dog's death.
When he exited the elevator and reached the main entrance, he immediately spotted dozens of black cars parked outside.
Rows of men in uniform, wearing sunglasses and looking like bodyguards, stood by the car doors, seemingly waiting for someone.
A shiver ran down his spine, and he quickly ducked behind the green plants near the door.
He thought: I didn't have any appointments today, and I came to my cousin's place disguised. How did the reporters find me?
These paparazzi, following him everywhere, were so annoying!
He wanted to find a back door and slip away quietly.
Just then, the glass doors were pushed open, and a group of bodyguards escorted a slender, elegantly dressed middle-aged woman inside.
As she walked, she asked,
"Are you sure she's here? Which floor? Who is she with?"
A bodyguard behind her replied,
"I've been following her for two days and saw her enter with my own eyes. She's with someone named Xu Yanchuan. Their office is on the sixth floor."
The woman, her expression serious, pushed her sunglasses up.
Everyone accompanied her towards the elevator.
The sixth floor? Xu Yanchuan?
Then he looked at the massive security detail.
Ke Teng realized these people weren't looking for him; they were after Jiang Nan Fang.
What was this woman's background? How could she draw such a large crowd?
What were these people here for? To capture her, or...?
If they were here to capture her, Ke Teng should have been delighted. Someone was avenging him.
But thinking of how she had just been bitten by his dog, and not knowing her current condition, if she were truly taken, wouldn't she be completely defenseless?
Despite his spoiled nature, Ke Teng was not someone who would take advantage of another's misfortune.
Even if he wanted revenge on Jiang Nan Fang, he would do it openly, disdaining underhanded tactics.
So, after only two seconds of thought, he spotted the stairs nearby, pulled his mask up, and walked quickly towards them.
Using his long legs, he took three steps at a time. Soon, before the elevator even arrived, he was back in the studio.
The door was open, and Ame was still lying on the ground.
He looked at her with concern but ran inside.
"Cousin, someone's here!"
He hadn't expected him to return.
Xu Yanchuan was bandaging Jiang Nan Fang's arm when he saw Ke Teng rush in, his expression serious.
"She's already in this state, and you're still not done?"
"No matter how noble your dog is, is it more important than human life? Ke Teng, don't push me to lose my temper!"
"Who's acting crazy? Who is this woman? Who did she offend? I just saw an old woman with a group of bodyguards looking for her! Should you hide?"
An old woman with a group of bodyguards looking for her?
Besides Zeng Jiahui, Jiang Nan Fang couldn't think of anyone else.
But wasn't Zeng Jia Hui already...?
Xu Yanchuan looked at Jiang Nan Fang, "Did you offend someone?"
Jiang Nan Fang had indeed offended quite a few people. For a moment, she didn't know who to suspect.
Seeing her like this, Xu Yanchuan made a quick decision.
"Forget it, no more nonsense. We need to get to the hospital, you don't have time to deal with people. Leave this to me, you and Ke Teng should go hide first."
Xu Yanchuan pulled her up and pushed her towards Ke Teng.
"Ding!" The sound of the elevator arriving could be heard.
With no time for further words, Ke Teng grabbed her and rushed into the adjacent stairwell like a gust of wind.
The two crept stealthily, running down as if fleeing for their lives.
As they ran, Ke Teng asked her.
"There are many bodyguards at the main entrance downstairs, we can't go that way. Does this building have a back door?"
It had a back door.
But Jiang Nan Fang wasn't sure if it was being guarded.
Ke Teng glanced at her attire; she could easily be recognized.
Reaching the first floor, he stopped and pulled his hooded sweatshirt over her head.
Fortunately, she was still wearing a black tank top inside; Jiang Nan Fang thought he would be bare-chested...
With the hood on, the two walked hand-in-hand to the back door.
As expected, it was guarded.
Seeing a group of bodyguards looking around, appearing to be on high alert, Ke Teng scooped Jiang Nan Fang up in his arms.
"Hold onto my neck, bury your face on me, and don't say anything."
The two of them exited the door like this.
The bodyguards, seeing someone come out, instinctively reached out to stop them.
"Who are you?"
Ke Teng looked at them expressionlessly.
"My friend is injured, I'm taking her out for a bit. Who are you people? Why are you guarding the entrance in broad daylight?"
Seeing them dressed like a couple, with the woman clinging to him and a towel wrapped around her arm, bloodstains seeping through, the guards waved them away impatiently.
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't. Go. Go quickly."
The two were allowed to pass.
Ke Teng walked swiftly, carrying Jiang Nan Fang for dozens of meters, found his car, put her in, and started the engine.
Given his status, it wasn't suitable to go to the hospital without prior arrangement from his manager.
He could only take Jiang Nan Fang home.
"I'll call my family doctor to examine you. We can't go to the hospital, so bear with it for now."
A sense of responsibility kicked in at this moment.
If he had been like this earlier, with a bit more manliness, she wouldn't have impulsively crushed his Tibetan Mastiff.
Watching his well-defined hands expertly steer the steering wheel, Jiang Nan Fang wanted to say something but held back.
Soon, they arrived at the underground parking lot.
Closing the door, Ke Teng reached to pick her up again.
Jiang Nan Fang said it wasn't necessary.
"My hand is injured, not my leg. I can walk."
"Do you think I want to carry you? It's just that you walk too slowly, and I'm afraid of being photographed. Hurry up."
Without further ado, Ke Teng picked her up and hurried towards the elevator.
Soon, the two entered his apartment.
Ke Teng tossed her onto the sofa and pulled out his phone to call the family doctor.
Jiang Nan Fang took off the hooded sweatshirt and placed it on the sofa.
After finishing the call, Ke Teng turned around and casually took off his sunglasses and mask.
Only then did Jiang Nan Fang get a clear look at his face.
He had some facial similarities to Xu Yanchuan,
but he was more refined, more chiseled, and younger.
No wonder he was a popular idol; such good looks.
However, he was too young, lacking a certain mature aura, and couldn't compare to Zhan Bei Jue. At best, he could be called a pretty boy.
Noticing Jiang Nan Fang staring at him, Ke Teng narcissistically ran a hand through his hair.
"What are you looking at? First time seeing a big star? You're so heavy, carrying you made my arms sore. Sit here for a moment, the doctor will be here soon. I'm going to wash my face."
With that, he turned and left.
Jiang Nan Fang took out her phone to check; Xu Yanchuan had sent her a WeChat message.
"The one who came looking for you just now was Mrs. Zhan. I didn't expect your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship to be so bad."
"I couldn't find you. It looks like she won't give up. There will definitely be people watching near the office recently. What are you planning to do?"
