The woman furrowed her brows for a second but did not mull over it. Instead, she walked to Mu Yichen’s room and tested the door lock.

The door was locked from the outside and needed a key to release the bolt.

She felt more relieved after confirming that.

After Yun Tianyou finished his breakfast, the chauffeur sent him to school.

It was smooth-sailing along the way.

The boy strove hard to keep a calm composure; hence, he did not rise any further suspicion.

Once he reached the school gate and confirmed that the car had left the compound from his periphery, he took out his phone and dialed his assistant’s number.

“Agent Li, where are you?”

“I’m outside the stationery shop in a black Phaeton.”

The boy turned around, found the vehicle parked outside the said shop, and ordered immediately, “Take the car here.”

“All right!” replied his agent forthwith.

The Phaeton soon made a turn and steadily made it to his side.

Youyou opened the door and got in the car.

Li Hanlin was sitting in the co-driver’s seat as he examined the boy. Only after he had verified that his boss was safe and sound did he sigh in relief.

“Sir, I was so worried about you the whole night that I couldn’t sleep in peace!”

The child’s face only revealed a hint of pain when he got into the vehicle.

Lifting his hand, he slowly reached out for his injured acromion where it throbbed ceaselessly.

His dislocated shoulder might have been fixed, but… looking at the harsh cracks on the red, carved walking stick, one could imagine the force applied on his shoulder when he was hit.

However, as he was assuming the role of his older brother earlier, he had to put up a pretense. In reality, he was under excruciating pain every time he so much as moved his shoulder—be this carrying his backpack or lifting his hand to open the car door.

Having endured all the way to here, he was already at his limit.

The boy bit his lower lip as his face turned a shade whiter.

One might wonder how he had persevered this far.

His assistant perceived that something was amiss from the strange look on his face and how the boy cradled his shoulder. “What’s wrong? Are you hurt?”

“Eh! I suffered a small injury!” He looked and commanded, “Let’s go back first.”

“All right!”

The man quickly ordered the chauffeur to drive off while he made a call to summon a private doctor fast.

The vehicle sped on the road.

Back in Xiangti Walk, Youyou pushed the door open and entered the living room. The hall remained an awkward mess from last night’s mayhem.

His agent hastily ordered his men to tidy up the place.

That piece of red, wooden walking stick was left lying on the floor. The agent picked it up and could see the cracked lines in the middle at one glance.

He was taken aback.

The doctor would be here soon.

The boy sat on the couch. By now, his shoulder could no longer move. The doctor swiftly made a tear through the sleeve to reveal his acromial bone; a big red and swollen hematoma could be seen!

“Oh, god…” Li Hanlin stood at one side, struck dumb at the sight.

Medication had been applied on the wound initially.

However, because he had swapped his attire and identity with his older brother, he had not applied any medication since last night.

Of course, this came with dire consequences!

Hence, a swollen and lumpy hematoma covered with petechiae could be seen at the injured spot, which now looked ugly.

After one night of going without medication, the bruise had become painful and inflamed.

Looking at the sorry sight, heartache flashed across the agent’s eyes. It was hard for him to imagine how the kid bore with this injury for an entire night!

“Who did this? Who could be so heavy-handed?!”
