The president tried to trick me Chapter 2233

Yan Yuhan inclined his head, turning back to fix his gaze upon An Zijin. His eyes were clear and steady.

“This is a guesthouse; the proprietor’s lineage has been dedicated to traditional Chinese medicine for five generations. You can rest assured and recuperate,” An Zijin stated, rising to pour a glass of water. She then placed it on Yan Yuhan’s bedside table.

Tu Ming felt a pang of jealousy at her meticulous care. His own address to Yan Yuhan lacked such politeness. “Hey, you still haven't answered my question! Who are you?!”

Yan Yuhan lifted his gaze to meet Tu Ming’s, just as An Zijin chided him, “Can’t you see his throat is burned, preventing speech? Go, ask Xiao Ji if lunch can be served earlier.”

“I’M NOT GOING! If I leave, what are your plans with him alone?” Tu Ming adamantly refused, his tone laced with a palpable sense of grievance.

An Zijin’s eye twitched. “Are you looking for a beating?”

Tu Ming remained resolute in his refusal to depart. He even retrieved a small stool, placing it by the doorway and effectively standing guard over the two individuals in the room.

If he were to leave, what if the person in bed was a dangerous villain harboring intentions towards Zijin?!

He was determined to protect Zijin!

Observing his unyielding stance, An Zijin opted to leave herself. “Fine, you stay here and keep an eye on him. I’ll go find Xiao Ji, alright?”

“HMPH.” Tu Ming averted his face, maintaining his silence.

Once An Zijin had departed, he turned his attention back to Yan Yuhan, who was propped against the headboard.

After considerable hesitation, Tu Ming stood up, procured a piece of paper and a pen, and presented them to Yan Yuhan. “If you’re unable to speak, you can at least write, correct? Your hand isn’t injured!”

Regardless, Tu Ming harbored significant suspicion towards this man who had appeared so unexpectedly!

He simply couldn’t fathom how An Zijin, a young woman, lacked any sense of apprehension! !

When venturing out, one must always ensure their own safety! !

Yan Yuhan looked down at the pen and paper within his grasp. A faint curve graced the corners of his lips as he slowly inscribed a line of text.

Tu Ming peered over curiously.

[Did you change my clothes for me?]

“Nonsense! Of course, I did! Were you expecting Zijin, a girl, to change your clothes?” Tu Ming scoffed, his gaze towards Yan Yuhan growing even more scrutinizing.

Yan Yuhan paid no mind to his dramatic tone and wrote two more words, [Thank you].

Tu Ming felt a touch of awkwardness at this gesture, yet he maintained his haughty demeanor. “No need to thank me; I didn’t want to do it anyway!”

Having said that, he recalled the pressing matter. “Hey, forget about him for now! Quickly, tell me your name, where you’re from, and why you came to this mountain alone! ! Are you plotting something?”

At this inquiry, Yan Yuhan’s brow furrowed. [Did you only find me?]

“Yes!” Tu Ming affirmed with a nod, his eyes widening. “Don’t tell me you have other accomplices? ! ”

…

Yan Yuhan’s frown deepened slightly.

The explosion that night had occurred without warning. Fortunately, the quantity of explosives was limited, insufficient to cause fatalities.

Furthermore, he had distinctly heard Han Jingjing’s voice at the time, indicating her proximity.

Regardless of the circumstances, she shouldn't have intended to detonate herself.

He was uncertain, however, about the well-being of Li Jie and Wu Shu.

Yan Yuhan turned towards his phone and penned a few words on the paper, “I am in a poor mood and came here to relax.”

He could not disclose his situation to anyone at this juncture.

Tu Ming, clearly unconvinced, was about to press for further details when he saw Yan Yuhan write, “I need to borrow your phone to inform my family that I am safe.”

“There’s been heavy rain these past few days; there’s no signal in the mountains,” Tu Ming replied, tossing his phone over. “No, there’s absolutely no signal at all.”
