After being hit hard on the back of the head by the iron chain, Zhou Keer felt dizzy, then lost consciousness and fainted on the ground.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she slowly woke up. In a daze, she felt as if someone was grabbing her shoulders and shaking her violently.

Zhou Ke'er opened her eyes with difficulty, and her vision gradually became clear. The first thing that caught her eye was Zhang Yi's face, which was distorted by anger.

Her mind went blank for a moment, and it was only after a long while that she remembered everything that had happened before she fell into a coma.

However, before she started to worry about being punished by Zhang Yi for her negligence, she was suddenly picked up from the ground by him.

"Don't ask anything! Save his life first!" Zhang Yi shouted anxiously, pointing at the silver-haired man lying on the bed.

Zhou Ke'er steadied herself and looked carefully, only to see that Deng Shentong's face was as pale as paper, completely bloodless, as if all his vitality had been drained away.

His breathing became extremely weak, intermittent, and it seemed that he might stop at any time. It was obvious that he was on the verge of life and death, hanging by a thread.

The situation was urgent. Zhou Ke'er didn't have time to think about it. She hurriedly walked to the bedside and sat down, carefully checking Deng Shentong's injuries.

She reached out and grabbed Deng Shentong's wrist, trying to feel his pulse, but she felt nothing but ice-coldness where she touched. The temperature was frighteningly low, and it was totally different from the body temperature of a living person.

Then, she carefully put her fingers under Deng Shentong's nose to feel his breath.

However, when her fingertips touched his skin, she felt a burning sensation so intense that she almost pulled her hand back.

He has a high fever!

I just fainted for a short while. How could Deng Shentong, who had recovered well in the past few days, suddenly become like this?

Her eyes couldn't help but move slowly down Deng Shentong's pale and beautiful face, and finally stopped on his body.

He was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, but it could not completely cover up those heart-wrenching wounds.

The body that was once as perfect as a sculpture was now covered in wounds, as if it had been hit by an extremely hard object, causing large areas of scratches all over the body. The blood in the wounds had frozen into ice, leaving patches of blue and purple.

Zhou Ke'er frowned when she saw this. Even though she had been attacked by Deng Shentong before, she couldn't bear to see such a beautiful body become like this, so she hurriedly used her special powers to heal him.

After a busy period, Zhou Keer put away the medical kit, stood up and reported to Zhang Yi who was standing there in a daze: "His condition has stabilized."

She glanced at Deng Shentong's hair, which was wet from the melted snow.

"Fortunately, I was able to get out of the hypothermic environment in time, otherwise my nerves would have been damaged by freezing and even a god wouldn't be able to save me."

Zhang Yi lowered his eyes and nodded in response. His tense nerves finally relaxed.

When he threw Deng Shentong away, it was an impulsive act caused by anger. However, not long after the car drove out, Zhang Yi felt extremely regretful and uneasy. In the end, he couldn't help but open the car door and rushed into the vast snow to rescue the other party.

Unfortunately, Deng Shentong was already exhausted at this time and could not hold out in the cold snow for a long time. He soon fainted and lost consciousness.

When Zhang Yi rushed back to the original place, he saw Deng Shentong lying there lifeless, having lost all consciousness.

Zhang Yi was extremely anxious. He quickly swept away the snow, carefully picked up the baby and wrapped him tightly in a warm windproof jacket, then quickly returned to the car.

As soon as he entered the car, he unbuttoned his clothes without hesitation and used his hot body temperature to warm the frozen body.

After confirming that Deng Shentong still had faint signs of life, Zhang Yi's heart finally settled down a little, but at the same time, he was surprised to find that his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

He stared blankly at his trembling hands, as fragments of past memories kept emerging in his mind - once, these hands were stained with the blood of countless innocent people!

No matter if they were neighbors he met every day, strangers he had never met before, or weak and helpless old people, women, and children... as long as someone dared to disobey him, he would kill them without blinking an eye.

However, at this moment, when Zhang Yi faced Deng Shentong, who despised and humiliated him in every way, all the past memories came to his mind, but he could not bring himself to kill him.

When his eyes fell upon the haggard, dying face of the silver-haired man, an inexplicable pain bit Zhang Yi's heart like a poisonous snake, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

And this feeling was not the first time he had appeared - in fact, ever since he and Deng Shentong had been involved in this protracted dispute, Zhang Yi would feel heartbroken whenever he saw him like this.

On the surface, it seemed that Zhang Yi had the upper hand in this competition; but only he himself knew that he had actually already lost miserably.

He hated Deng Shentong's stubbornness, but he also hated his own cowardice.

It is undeniable that Deng Shentong has him firmly under his control.

Just a few words can easily stir up one's emotions and push one to the brink of collapse.

After hearing what Zhou Keer said, Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to look at Deng Shentong with a complicated expression.

He thought of the past between them and felt even more uncomfortable.

"Deng Shentong, you... I really have no way to deal with you..." Zhang Yi seemed a little crazy, muttering to himself.

At this moment, Deng Shentong's long eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up from a deep sleep.

Zhang Yi couldn't help but feel an indescribable excitement in his heart, but at the same time he also felt panic and helplessness.

He was eager to go forward to check on Deng Shentong's condition. After taking a few quick steps forward, he suddenly stopped.

A bitter smile showing both struggle and helplessness appeared on Zhang Yi's face.

Yes, after all, I had done such excessive things before, why would he be willing to see me now?

Zhang Yi waved to Zhou Keer, motioning her to come out with him.

Zhou Keer knew that he was going to settle accounts for her negligence, so she took off her gloves in a panic and followed him.

She thought Zhang Yi would be furious because Deng Shentong ran away and would vent his anger on her, but unexpectedly, Zhang Yi just sighed and asked, "Where is the letter you sent before?"

Zhou Ke'er pointed at the coffee table. Zhang Yi walked over, picked up the letter, opened it and took a look. Then he said, "Take good care of him. Remember to keep an eye on him and don't let him run away again. I'll be leaving first."

Zhou Ke'er watched Zhang Yi turn around and try to leave, and called out to him in confusion: "Hey! Where are you going? What if he wakes up?"

Zhang Yi waved his hand and said without turning his head: "I will let you know when the time comes."

Zhou Ke'er stood there quietly, her eyes following Zhang Yi's gradually receding figure, the inexplicable feeling of uneasiness in her heart surged up like a tide.

What on earth was causing her to be so uneasy? This feeling was like being shrouded by an invisible shadow that could not be shaken off.

Recalling the series of events that had happened recently, Zhou Keer couldn't help feeling confused and lost.

The seemingly simple situation became complicated and confusing, as if there were countless mysteries hidden in it waiting to be solved. At this moment, she felt more and more that she seemed to have only touched the tip of the iceberg of this huge puzzle.

Is this all just the beginning?
