"Brother Liang, please go outside and stand guard. Don't let anyone disturb us. Absolutely no one should come in unless I call you. Do not enter if I don't call you."
"Are you sure you can handle it?"
"Just wait and see the results."
Lu Liang looked at him with confusion, then left without another word.
"Captain Xiao, please turn your back to me and take off your shirt. I need to examine your back," Guo Xuyang said.
He wanted to assess the situation before daring to use his abilities.
Xiao Yu took off his shirt, leaving only a tank top.
"Please take this off too."
"Is it necessary?"
"Yes. Otherwise, I can't see your spine. I need to visually check if your spine has a normal curve."
Xiao Yu's face turned a little red as he slowly unfastened his inner garment.
Guo Xuyang stood behind Xiao Yu. Several scarlet scars on Xiao Yu's back were shocking. Who could imagine the pain Xiao Yu had endured?
He focused his gaze and saw a small, misshapen protrusion on Xiao Yu's spine near his neck.
"Please slowly bend down, bringing your torso down as if picking something up from the ground," Guo Xuyang instructed.
Xiao Yu slowly lowered himself.
There were no major issues with his spine overall. It was likely that the trauma near his neck had compressed the nerves, causing dizziness and physical discomfort.
"Good, stand up straight and don't move."
He gently placed his hand on the spot and silently activated his life ability. Xiao Yu's spine began to slowly shift, reconfigure, and straighten.
An indescribable comfort made Xiao Yu involuntarily groan. The previous dizziness, headache, and stiff pain in his back disappeared. He felt as if he had just taken a hot bath, feeling refreshed and at ease all over.
She couldn't help but turn around, wanting to say something, only to find Guo Xuyang staring blankly ahead.
It was then she realized she wasn't wearing her shirt and instinctively pushed him.
With a "thump," Guo Xuyang fell to the ground. The fall really shook him.
Having just used his life ability, he hadn't recovered from the fatigue yet when he saw Xiao Yu turn around. The sight almost made his nose bleed.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu then pushed him. Before he could even react, he "thumped" to the ground.
It wasn't that he was too weak, but he was truly exhausted.
This startled Xiao Yu. She ignored her state of undress and picked up Guo Xuyang.
The fullness of her chest almost suffocated Guo Xuyang.
He could only close his eyes, but his senses involuntarily spread out. A certain part of his body also stirred restlessly.
Xiao Yu didn't notice any of this. She was truly worried that something might happen to Guo Xuyang.
She had witnessed Guo Xuyang's miraculous abilities and knew he was a rare treasure of a boy. She didn't want her momentary lapse to cause irreparable harm.
She slowly laid Guo Xuyang onto the examination bed and shook him.
"Hey, Guo Xuyang, don't scare me. Are you okay?"
Guo Xuyang knew he couldn't keep pretending. He slightly opened his eyes, glanced at her, and said, "I'm too tired. Please let me sleep for a while."
He then closed his eyes.
This time, he wasn't pretending; he had genuinely fallen asleep.
Only then did Xiao Yu notice she was still undressed. Her face flushed. Seeing that Guo Xuyang was truly asleep, she finally relaxed.
She put on her clothes, opened the door, and let Lu Liang in.
"What's wrong with Yang Zi?" Lu Liang asked.
"He's probably tired and fell asleep."
"How are you feeling?"
"Much better. It seems to have worked." Xiao Yu twisted her waist and turned her neck, saying.
"As long as it's working. Come back and let Yang Zi treat you a few more times. Are you free tonight?"
"What? Want to treat me to a big meal?"
"Tell me, what do you want to eat?"
"Let's talk about it after Guo Xuyang wakes up."
"Alright then. What are your plans next?" Lu Liang asked.
"My mission here is complete. I have to go back and report. Then I'll continue to be busy every day, just like always. We never have free time."
"Aren't you planning to change your environment?"
"What do you think I'm suitable for? I know what I truly aspire to. If it weren't for this damned illness, I wouldn't have transferred."
"Have you found a boyfriend yet?"
"I don't have the time or energy to think about such things," Xiao Yu said.
"How about me? Why not consider me?" Lu Liang chuckled and said.
"You're good as a brother, but as a romantic partner, you need more consideration."
"Okay. I'll wait for your evaluation."
"Have you been looking all these years?" Xiao Yu asked.
"No time. You know my heart belongs to no one else," Lu Liang said, scratching his head.
"Silly boy."
"Huh? Who's silly?" Guo Xuyang mumbled as he sat up.
"You are," both of them said in unison.
"Oh. Huh?"
"Stop pretending. Get up quickly. Let's go out for something to eat." Lu Liang, being so sharp, immediately saw through Guo Xuyang's charade.
"Heh heh. I wanted to listen to the show a little longer," Guo Xuyang said.
Hearing Guo Xuyang say that, Xiao Yu realized he had been faking it all along, and her face turned crimson.
She remembered what she looked like without her shirt.
"Forget it. What are the arrangements for tonight?" Lu Liang said.
"Arrangements are made. We'll all go over shortly." As he spoke, Guo Xuyang made a phone call.
"Mr. Wu, are you with Xu Liping? Hmm. Have you booked a place for dinner tonight? Okay. Please send me the location. I have a few friends with me, so we'll all go together."
"It's booked. Let's go. You can tell the bureau that the alert has been lifted," Guo Xuyang said, looking at Xiao Yu.
"Let's go. If someone's paying, why not eat?" Lu Liang said with a smile.
"Wait a moment. I need to make a call," Xiao Yu said, dialing a number.
"Boss, the mission here is complete. The witness is no longer in danger, please contact them to withdraw. Okay, I'll be back in two days. Yes. Goodbye!"
When the group of five arrived at Vincent Hotel, Wu Youzhi and the others were already waiting in the private room.
"Come, come, brothers, this way please." Wu Youzhi gestured for them to take the seats of honor.
"Mr. Wu, you should be the main host today, and I'll be the secondary host. Let's liven things up," Guo Xuyang said.
"That's not right. Although I'm a few years older, I absolutely cannot be the main host. How about this: you take the main seat, I'll take the secondary seat, and there are other guests, aren't there? What do you think?"
"Alright then. Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Wu." Guo Xuyang said. "Brother Liang and Captain Xiao will be the chief and secondary guests, and Xiao Yu and Xiao Hong will sit next to Mr. Wu. Everyone, please be seated."
After some polite deference, everyone took their seats.
"I am very happy to be sitting with all of you today to strengthen our bonds. We have new friends and old friends. I propose three toasts to our acquaintance, understanding, and win-win cooperation. Let's all raise our glasses. The first toast is to our everlasting friendship."
"Cheers." Everyone raised their glasses and drank them down.
