Hatamoto Natsue's room.

After returning to her room, Hatamoto Natsue didn't care about anything else. After quickly closing the door and ensuring safety, she immediately began to look for the medicine box.

Her movements were quick and methodical, even though the panic and worry in her heart almost overwhelmed her.

The scene of Bai Ye being injured kept flashing through her mind. The glaring blood and Bai Ye's expression of trying hard to suppress the pain entangled her like a nightmare, making her breathing rapid and disordered.

Soon, she found the medicine box.

She slowly approached Bai Ye and carefully tore off the blood-stained clothes.

When the wound that was still bleeding was exposed before her eyes without reservation, her eyes instantly became moist and tears burst out like a flood.

Those tears were filled with heartache, guilt and self-blame, as if the wound was caused by her own hands.

Sitting on the bed, looking at the panicked appearance of Hatamoto Xia Jiang, Bai Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, then spoke softly, trying to comfort her, "Xia Jiang, don't panic, it's just a minor injury."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hatamoto Natsue's tears flowed even harder and she couldn't stop them.

Minor injury? The blood was almost staining his clothes red, how could this be just a minor injury? !

"Bai Ye-jun, this may be a little painful, just bear with it."

Hatamoto Natsue suppressed her inner grief and panic, took a deep breath, and tried to stop her hands from shaking. She took out a disinfectant cotton ball from the medicine box, dipped her slightly trembling hands in the disinfectant, and approached Bai Ye's wound carefully with a look of pity and worry in her eyes.

The moment the cotton ball touched the wound, Bai Ye's body stiffened slightly and his brows were tightly furrowed, but he did not say a word and just clenched his fists tightly.

"I'm sorry, Bai Ye-kun, I hurt you."

"fine!"

Seeing this, Hatamoto Natsue's eyes welled with tears, and her hands became more and more gentle, as if she was treating the most precious and fragile treasure in the world. She carefully cleaned the blood around the wound, and every wipe was filled with endless guilt and worry, as if she was atonement for her "fault" in this way.

Although the technique was clumsy, every movement revealed concern and tenderness.

After carefully cleaning the wound with disinfectant, Hatamoto Natsue picked up the gauze and gently wrapped it around Bai Ye's chest in circles to stop the blood from constantly oozing out.

Every movement she made seemed so careful, as if she was handling a priceless treasure.

"call……"

Finally, the wound was bandaged, and Hatamoto Natsue breathed a sigh of relief, mixed with a hint of unspeakable fatigue.

Gently wiping the sweat from her forehead, looking at Bai Ye lying on her bed, Hatamoto Natsue sat back on the bed and held Bai Ye's hand tightly, as if she could pass her strength to him. Her beautiful eyes were filled with gratitude and deep worry, "Bai Ye-kun, have a good rest. I will always be here to protect you."

Bai Ye sighed softly, his eyes gentle, "Xia Jiang, go and rest, I'm fine."

Hearing this, Hatamoto Natsue shook his head, his eyes firm and full of worry, "No, I want to stay with you, what if the wound gets worse?"

Although her voice was soft, it revealed an unquestionable determination.

In fact, if she wasn't worried that she might be attacked by the man in black when she went out to seek help, or that the man in black might take advantage of her leaving Bai Ye to attack the seriously injured Bai Ye, she would actually want to find a professional doctor.

After all, as a rich lady, although she had received a good education and knew some emergency measures, she did not have the professional skills of a doctor.

As for calling other people for help, she had considered the idea.

However, since she knew nothing about the identity of the man in black, if she contacted the wrong person and failed to contact the correct person for help, but instead contacted the enemy, she would undoubtedly harm Bai Ye and herself, and push herself and Bai Ye into an abyss of no return.

"..."

Feeling Xia Jiang's persistence and worry, Bai Ye let out a helpless sigh, his voice soft and gentle, "Xia Jiang, you don't have to be so nervous. I know my body well, and I'll be fine."

But the more he said this, the more guilty Hatamoto Natsue felt, and the more sorry he felt for Bai Ye, "I'm sorry, Bai Ye-kun, it's all because of me..."

As he spoke, Hatamoto Natsue's voice was already choked with sobs, and tears filled his eyes, looking like they were about to fall.

In her opinion, if it wasn't for protecting her, how could Bai Ye be hurt like this.

Bai Ye shook his head gently, patted the back of her hand with his uninjured hand, and said firmly but gently, "Xia Jiang, don't say that. Protecting you is what I should do."

Although his voice was weak, every word was full of strength and determination.

This power was like a warm current, slowly flowing into Hatamoto Natsue's heart, causing ripples in her heart, surging with indescribable warmth and emotion.

Hatamoto Natsue was about to say something when Bai Ye started talking again, "I'm just a little sorry that I let the person who wanted to attack you escape."

With the skills of a certain man in black, if Bai Ye hadn't been a little bit careful, the other party would have been killed the moment he approached him, let alone had a chance to escape from him.

Of course, there is no need to tell Hatamoto Natsue about this kind of thing.

Otherwise, all his hard work, efforts, sacrifices and performances would be in vain!
He didn't want to pay the price of blood, only to fail to gain the favor of Hatamoto Natsue as planned, and instead "incur" the other party's hatred and hostility.

If something like that really happened, he would probably even want to kill Hatamoto Takeshi and others.

When Hatamoto Natsue heard Bai Ye's words, her heart was filled with emotion and guilt. She bit her lower lip until it turned slightly white, and then she said in a soft and firm voice: "Bai Ye-kun, you don't have to blame yourself. You have paid too much for me. As long as you can recover well, nothing else matters."

Bai Ye was injured by the man in black in order to protect her. How could she possibly blame him!

You know, if she hadn't had the other party's protection, she would have died at the hands of the man in black long ago.

Even if it weren't for anything else, just for this point, she couldn't blame Bai Ye!
Not to mention, if it wasn't for protecting her, Bai Ye wouldn't have been injured at all.

She gently raised her hand and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with her slender fingers. That action carried a hint of stubbornness and strength.

Then, she stared at Bai Ye with her beautiful eyes and asked softly, "By the way, Mr. Bai Ye, did you see the true face of the attacker?"

The attacker not only tried to hurt her, but now also caused Bai Ye to be injured. Whether for revenge for Bai Ye or for her own safety, she had no intention of letting him go.

"I did see it clearly." Bai Ye frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes. After a pause, he slowly said: "But, Xia Jiang, I think it's better for you not to know his identity!"

Hearing this, Hatamoto Xiajiang was slightly startled, her eyebrows slightly frowned, her eyes full of doubt and confusion, "Why?"

Bai Ye was silent for a moment, as if considering how to explain to Hatamoto Xiajiang, "Because, his identity is not ordinary."

Hatamoto Natsue pursed her pink lips, raised her head, and her eyes were filled with determination, "So what if his identity is extraordinary? Even if it is extraordinary, it is not a reason for him to hurt you!"

"Xia Jiang, are you sure you want to know?"

Bai Ye sighed slightly and tried to make a final persuasion, hoping that Hatamoto Xiajiang could give up this idea. "You know, once you know his identity, you may never be able to go back to the past."

"I am sure!"

Bai Ye's attitude gave Hatamoto Natsue an ominous premonition in her heart, but she was really unwilling to give up the opportunity to know the truth.

Thinking of this, Hatamoto Xiajiang took a deep breath, clenched her fists tightly, and her nails dug deeply into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain at all. "Bai Yejun, I understand your concerns, but I can't keep avoiding it. This is not only about my personal safety, but also about the trust between me and the people around me."

Her voice was firm and powerful. "Moreover, as a 'victim', I also have the right to know the truth! Even if this truth will make me suffer!"

Bai Ye stared at her determined eyes, sighed slightly, and said nothing, but his eyes revealed a complex emotion of both pity and sympathy.

"and many more……"

Seeing him like this, Hatamoto Natsue's pupils suddenly shrank, and as if a flash of inspiration passed through her mind, she suddenly thought of a possibility.

That is, the person who attacked her was probably someone she knew? Moreover, he had a very close relationship with her!

Bai Ye was unwilling to tell her the other person's identity because he was worried that she would be sad after knowing this.

Thinking of the 'he' described by Bai Ye, she suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.

Could it be that……

"Could it be him?"

Hatamoto Natsue frowned and quickly sorted out the men she met on the boat in her mind.

As far as she could remember, the only people she knew on the ship who were male, besides her deceased grandfather Hatamoto Gozo, were Hatamoto Takeshi, Hatamoto Shoji, Hatamoto Kitaro, and Hatamoto Ichiro.

However, Hatamoto Shoji, Hatamoto Kitaro and Hatamoto Ichiro were all her relatives. Although the two sides had some disputes over the inheritance rights of the Hatamoto family, they had not yet reached the point of killing each other.

Therefore, the man in black who was hiding near her room, peeping at her, and trying to kill her was obviously not one of Hatamoto Shoji and his group.

Now that their suspicion has been ruled out, there is only one possibility left.

That's her husband - Hatamoto Takeshi!

Because her parents were "forced to death" by her grandfather Hatamoto Gozo, the family property was taken away, and she herself was transformed from a rich young man who had no worries about food and clothing into a member of an orphanage. Her husband Hatamoto Takeshi, no, Zaishiro Takehiko hated her grandfather Hatamoto Gozo and the Hatamoto family to the core, and he had every motive to attack her!

After all, not only does her surname is Hatamoto, but she is also Hatamoto Gozo's most beloved granddaughter and the most valued descendant!
If something unfortunate happened to her, then everything that Hatamoto Gozo cared about would collapse and dissipate, vanish into thin air and cease to exist.

But, was the person who tried to sneak attack her earlier really the other person?

She was a little afraid and unwilling to believe this kind of thing.

Bai Ye didn't say anything, but looked at her with more and more pity in his eyes. Then he turned his head away, as if he couldn't bear to look at her.

Sometimes, silence is undoubtedly the best answer.

"It's really him..."

After understanding the deep meaning in Bai Ye's eyes, for a moment, Hatamoto Natsue felt as if he was hit by a bolt from the blue. He was stunned and stood still.

The color on her face faded in an instant, turning as pale as paper. Her eyes became blurred in an instant, as if she had lost all focus, as if her soul had been pulled out of her body by an invisible force, leaving only a lifeless, empty shell, fragile and helpless.

"…Why is it him?"

Hatamoto Natsue's heart was filled with shock and disbelief, her world seemed to collapse at this moment. Her eyes were full of pain and confusion, her voice was crying, weak like a candle in the wind, almost inaudible, every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from the depths of her throat, and her body began to sway slightly uncontrollably, like a lonely leaf fluttering in the wind.

"Why? Why would he do this?"

In his memories, Xiao Wu's gentle smile and his possible conspiracy appeared alternately, and Hatamoto Natsue couldn't help but close his eyes painfully, trying to dispel these messy thoughts.

In fact, at the beginning, when she noticed someone peeping near her room, she thought that the other person might be Takeshi Hatamoto.

But later, she gave up the idea.

On the one hand, if the person who came was really her husband, he could have come out openly without having to hide in the dark and spy on her.

On the other hand, it was also because she didn't trust her husband, who looked at her with malicious, even murderous eyes.

In addition, if her husband was really the murderer of her grandfather Hatamoto Gozo, then given the personalities of her "family members", they would definitely not let him leave peacefully.

But now it seems that she guessed wrong!

Hatamoto Natsue's body was trembling slightly, and her heart was in great confusion and struggle.

She could not connect the husband who had once taken such good care of her with the man in black who hid in the darkness and tried to hurt her.

But the reality slapped her in the face. Hatamoto Takeshi was the man in black who was hiding in the dark and trying to attack her.

In order to protect her, Bai Ye was almost brutally killed by her.

This huge contrast made her feel extremely confused and it also hurt her heart so much that she almost fainted...
