9: Chapter 009 Rage

The Sixth Hospital.

Ye Mo paid the fare, thanked the driver again, and then returned to the door of the hospital room.

It wasn't until 12 o'clock at night that Lu Baijun began to improve.

At this moment, Ye Mo was peeling an apple for her, slicing it into pieces, and then holding it to her lips.

"I don't want any..." Lu Baijun looked at the apple in front of her and shook her head.

"Be good. The doctor said you need to eat more fruit now."

"But I've already eaten two..."

"Alright then, get some rest. Let me know when you want to eat again."

"Ye Mo, I'm actually better now. The doctor said I don't have any major issues. How about we get discharged?"

"No. In case you have any headaches or fever, it's more convenient to be in the hospital."

"Oh..."

Lu Baijun was indeed better. Although she hadn't fully recovered to her original state, she would basically be completely healed after going home and sleeping.

However, Ye Mo was still a bit worried. He planned to wait until tomorrow for another check-up, and only after confirming there were no issues would they be discharged.

Just as Ye Mo was about to urge Lu Baijun to get some sleep, her phone rang.

He took a glance; it was indeed her father calling.

During this time, Lu Shichao had called dozens of times, but Lu Baijun had not answered once. Clearly, she had completely given up any hope for Lu Shichao.

However, not answering the phone forever was obviously not an option, so in the end, she picked up the phone.

"Where are you?"

As soon as the call connected, Lu Shichao's cold voice came from the phone.

Lu Baijun had originally wanted to question her father about why he would treat her this way.

But she had been very afraid of Lu Shichao since she was a child.

As a result, the moment she heard Lu Shichao's voice, she couldn't say a single word.

"Are you better yet? If you are, come home immediately."

Lu Shichao's voice came through again. Lu Baijun was trembling all over, but she still lacked the courage to say any words of rebuttal.

"I..."

"Give me the phone!"

Seeing Lu Baijun's reaction, veins bulged on Ye Mo's face. He couldn't imagine what kind of family environment Lu Baijun had grown up in.

To be framed by her own father, and in the end, not even be able to say a word.

Usually, he saw her acting like a tomboy; it turned out all of that was just a disguise.

Ye Mo snatched the phone from her.

Lu Shichao naturally heard Ye Mo's voice as well.

Although he hated Ye Mo to the bone, he still had lingering fears regarding Ye Mo's ferocity.

Mainly because he didn't know exactly what Ye Mo's identity was.

This caused him to not know how to speak for a moment.

"Speak!"

Ye Mo roared directly.

Ye Mo naturally wouldn't give a beast a pleasant look.

"Where did you take my daughter?"

Lu Shichao suppressed the anger in his heart. He had been kicked unconscious by Ye Mo earlier and hadn't seen Ye Mo's fierce battle record at the restaurant.

Although he had heard about it later, hearing and seeing were ultimately different.

"You have the nerve to ask? Why don't you just go die? When your mother hit you twice back then, why didn't she just abort you!"

"It's my first time seeing someone push their own daughter into a fire pit. Damn it, I've been wondering about one thing since Qingming this year: so many people have died, why the hell are you still alive!"

Ye Mo unleashed a torrent of abuse, filled with profanity.

Lu Shichao was trembling with rage. He kept telling himself not to lower himself to the level of a brute.

"Speak!"

Ye Mo roared again.

"Kid, it's fine for you to curse me, but do you know who you've offended? He is the richest man in Yinzhou District, the eldest young master of the Li family. You ruined Young Master Li's plans; he will absolutely not let you go!"

Lu Shichao directly brought up Li Yuan.

"Damn it, you beast! Lu Baijun is your daughter, and you say I ruined Young Master Li's plans? Are you even human?"

"Right, you're just a dog for that piece-of-shit Young Master Li. Young Master Li threw you two dog bones; if you don't bark a few times, how could you be worthy of his favor."

Would Ye Mo be afraid of Young Master Li?

Although Ye Mo was only at the Early Stage of Qi Refining, as long as he wasn't shot in the head, ordinary bullets absolutely could not take his life.

Moreover, he could return to the Water Moon Realm. At worst, he would just send Young Master Li's whole family to the East Sea to feed the fish.

"Who exactly are you? What is your relationship with my daughter?"

Hearing Ye Mo speak so naturally, completely disregarding the Li family.

Lu Shichao was also a bit puzzled.

"Who I am is not something you are qualified to know. You only need to know this: if you force Lu Baijun to do anything she doesn't want to do again, Lu Shichao, I can tell you clearly: you will definitely be smashed to pieces!"

After speaking, Ye Mo hung up the phone and then returned it to Lu Baijun.

At this moment, Lu Baijun widened her beautiful eyes, looking at Ye Mo with an expression of disbelief.

It wasn't that she blamed Ye Mo for cursing her father.

Before, when she was drugged, although she was somewhat delirious, she still had some perception of the outside world.

She also knew that Ye Mo was very capable of fighting.

But it was precisely because he was so good at fighting that she felt it was incredible.

"What you told me this morning, it couldn't be true, right?"

Lu Baijun dared not imagine it. Could it be that for these ten months, Ye Mo had really gone to cultivate immortality?

This was just too absurd!

"Of course it's true. That's why I'm saying, you should have told me your situation early on. If I hadn't happened to be at the Sanhe Restaurant today, you would have been ruined by that beast."

Ye Mo already had a very good impression of Lu Baijun.

Plus, she was a Taiyin Body.

If she had really been ruined by that so-called Young Master Li, it would have been truly too late to regret it.

"Ye Mo, I..."

Lu Baijun didn't know how to answer.

Although her family background had been good since she was a child, her parents didn't love her very much and were very partial to her younger brother.

Therefore, from childhood to adulthood, she had felt very little fatherly or motherly love.

If she didn't do something perfectly, she would be beaten and scolded by her parents.

Although her parents had restrained themselves a bit since she started university, that childhood shadow always lingered in her heart.

During university, she had once dated.

But her parents didn't approve, and in the end, she had to choose to break up.

Just like this time, she clearly knew she had been sold by her parents, but she still didn't dare to have the thought of resisting.

"Sister Baijun, from now on, with me here, I won't let anyone bully you."

Ye Mo actually understood Lu Baijun's situation very well.

He himself was an orphan, raised in an orphanage since he was a child; he didn't even know what his parents looked like.

"Ye Mo, are you confessing to me?"

A trace of a smile finally appeared on Lu Baijun's face.

She had a good impression of Ye Mo from the first time she saw him.

This was also the reason why she kept tipping Ye Mo and urging him to update.

It was just that Ye Mo seemed even more timid than she was.

He never dared to do anything over the line with her.

But at this moment, she could feel that the little man in front of her had really become mature.

"Then, Sister Baijun, do you agree?" Ye Mo asked suddenly, feeling a bit nervous.

Lu Baijun didn't answer him, but instead lowered the pillow behind her back, then grabbed Ye Mo's hand and said softly, "I'm a bit sleepy. Don't leave."
