Lalisa treated him carefully and after she had stopped the blood loss in the two places, she made him sit up slightly considering the position of the two injuries.

 It was only after about half an hour that the whole area was already silent. She said a prayer for his subordinate that had been with him. After all, with those groups of men, him alone was not enough.

 What she didn't know was that after she had kept him inside her store, the subordinate had run to the place the GPS had guided him to, and before long, he had met the backup they requested and finished off those group of men.

However, when he returned to comb the place for his young master, they didn't find him no matter how he had searched. And since his second young master had not told him about seeing a girl across, he didn't know there was another person around.

 "Are sure they hadn't captured the second master while you ran off?" The team of newly arrived backups asked after checking everywhere with no results.

Their master had a lot of enemies, they knew that but very few dared attack him, after all, the team he had built was insanely strong.

 Yet today, they had met a very targeted attack.

"First young master would have us buried along if there's anything wrong with master." One of the men said, his words making shivers run down the spine of the others.

They all nodded in agreement and then continued their search.

On the other hand, Lalisa finally managed to take the man home. At first, she had thought that it wouldn't be something too difficult but with no cab and his amazing build, she felt herself stay on verge of collapsing every now and then.

"Lisa!" Kim Xia jumped up as she saw her daughter stumble into the room with a man in her arms. From first sight, she could already tell that the man was severely injured.

 Her eyes roamed over her daughter's body very quickly and it was only when she saw that she was fine that she assisted her to place the man on the only sofa they had in their living room.

One of their neighbors had struck it better and thus distributed their furniture and things to the neighbors. The Mother and Daughter had been lucky to get it since other people already had theirs.

"Lisa dear, you had me worried." She complained softly like someone that was just reporting something to her daughter.

"I came across this man on the road. He was left by the roadside to die and I thought to help him so that his ghost doesn't chase me around after." 

After some explanation, her mother accepted and hugged her to ease her heart of all pent up of worry.

Unknown to them, some of the neighbors that enjoyed staying out in the evening had seen her come back with a man and many of them assumed that he was some drunk man that she picked up.

"Say, who would have thought that Lisa would move like this? The man looks dead drunk and she even dares to bring him home." One of them commented while snacking on some sunflower seeds.

 "She's only still in high school and dares to behave like this, would all her good grades be for nothing in the end." San Wu, whose daughter was Lalisa's mate but went to a lower school because she didn't have the brains to get a scholarship in Lalisa's school said snidely.

Anyone that was sensitive would sense the pang of jealousy in her words, yet since all of them saw things in the way, they all nodded in agreement while sneering.

"With a useless mother like that, it isn't surprising that she would turn out this way, after all, the daughter is like the mother." This person hadn't said anything since and her words even contained a little sympathy as she felt that Lalisa had a lot to deal with from an early age.

They moved to other topics about the other people in the neighborhood.

As for Lalisa, her mother forced her to clean up and have dinner while she tried to treat the stranger better.

"He is actually so handsome Lisa, he looks even better than those people that usually screen in our neighbor's houses." She commented as she wiped his face clean. Considering that the injury had been there even before he came to Lalisa's shop area, it had gotten a slight infection and had caused him to start to have a fever.

Lalisa nodded while she rolled her eyes! She had clearly treated him because of his looks alone right!?

Also, from how they had addressed him, he ought to be someone that still had some money. She had every intention to charge him for everything.

She raised her left hand as she used her fingers to count how many things she had done for him.

From rescuing him to the first aid treatment to manual transportation and then her mother treating him and accommodation, she calculated everything and had almost reached a sky high amount of a million.

"Lisa, what are you calculating?" Her mother asked with confusion when she saw her daughter so focused and lost in her thoughts while still moving her fingers.

She had just finished all the treatment and was confused about where he would sleep, after all, he was a tall man and from his knees downwards, they were dangling from the arm of the couch.

"We have made it rich." Lalisa said with a smile before standing up to take her bowl to the kitchen.

Since she had lost her memory, she barely got a grasp of many matters and so when Lalisa mentioned them striking it rich, she only took it as some new slang or money that her daughter made at work.

"Lalisa, where do we put the man for tonight, his body would certainly be uncomfortable here." She said with concern. Since it was only one couch, it was impossible for the both of them to sleep there. Besides their bed was not any big too and the mother daughter pair were only able to sleep on it because of their slender figures.

"Right where he is. Only his upper body is injured and I would place his legs on this stool here for blood flow." As Lalisa talked, she carried the stool and placed it right where his leg was.

 Although her mother hesitated, she finally assisted her to place his leg up there.

 Lalisa nodded in satisfaction and went in to bring several pieces of clothes that could be used to keep him warm.

"Yes mom, let's go in to sleep." After all, she still had school the next day.

As soon as the mother daughter pair left the living room, the man that was placed on the couch opened his eyes while he chuckled gently.

"Such a calculative fellow." He muttered before closing his eyes back.
