Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 451: Thank You for Your Kindness, Miss Gu
Returning to her bedroom, Gu Ningyue looked at her always silent phone, hesitated for a moment, then dialed Lu Qingqing’s voice call.
The prompt tone sounded for a while, and the phone finally displayed the connection: "Hello?"
Listening to Lu Qingqing’s voice, Gu Ningyue kept her emotions calm: "Are you busy?"
"Not really." Lu Qingqing said: "I just accompanied Qianqian for a check-up. On the way, she insisted on going to the amusement park, so I haven’t checked my phone."
Gu Ningyue chuckled: "I kind of miss Qianqian. When will Miss Lu grace us with her presence, and bring Qianqian, so we can have a meal together?"
Lu Qingqing also laughed: "Sure, Qianqian always thinks of you, asking why you don’t visit her, if you’ve forgotten her. Qianqian is here now, do you want to talk to her?"
Without hesitation, Gu Ningyue said, "Sure! I’ll chat with Qianqian for a bit."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Qianqian’s cheerful voice came from the other side of the screen: "Sister, you finally remembered me!"
Gu Ningyue coaxed: "Has Qianqian been good lately? Have you listened to Sister Qingqing?"
Ji Qianqian nodded emphatically across the screen: "Of course. Sister, when are you coming to play with me? Sister Qingqing bought me lots of fun things and will take me out to play in a few days. If you don’t come soon, you won’t see me!"
With childlike sincerity, a genuine smile appeared on Gu Ningyue’s lips: "How about we go out to play together tomorrow?"
Ji Qianqian cheered: "Great! Qianqian will wait for you, sister!"
Gu Ningyue responded, "Give the phone back to Sister Qingqing; I have something to discuss with her."
A few seconds later, Lu Qingqing’s voice came through: "Hello?"
The smile on Gu Ningyue’s face disappeared, "Why has Qianqian become like this again?"
Wasn’t it said that Lu Qingqing got a prescription, and Ji Qianqian had improved?
But hearing Ji Qianqian just now, it didn’t seem like she had improved at all.
Upon hearing this, Lu Qingqing didn’t maintain her previous calm, showing some gritted teeth: "The prescription given by Shangguan Wuyue was tampered with. I put in a lot of effort to barely get Qianqian back to her previous state."
Gu Ningyue said to Lu Qingqing: "Tampered with? Are there still people from the Heimu Organization by your side?"
Lu Qingqing didn’t say much, just said: "Let’s talk when we meet tomorrow! Didn’t you already promise Qianqian?"
Gu Ningyue agreed but then recalled her appointment with Li Jing for tomorrow. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Tomorrow night, then. Let’s meet at Jinyue Western Restaurant at 8 p.m. tomorrow night."
Lu Qingqing agreed and was about to hang up when Gu Ningyue suddenly said: "A few days ago, I went to the U.S. and brought back some trinkets."
Gu Ningyue finished her words and said no more.
Lu Qingqing seemed to understand her intentions and smoothly said: "Thank you for Miss Gu’s kindness, see you tomorrow."
After ending the voice call, Gu Ningyue glanced at her email inbox, there was still no reply.
Lin Ruixian, Lin Ruixian, please don’t get into any trouble!
At this moment, in a hospital in the U.S., Lin Ruixian finally woke up from his coma.
The effect of the anesthesia had worn off, and he was woken up by pain.
It was deep into the night, and Cheng Jiaojiao had fallen asleep by his bedside.
His consciousness was a bit blurred. Hadn’t he already died?
With so many stab wounds, how could he be alive?
But the stark, white light was just too glaring.
"Cough..." Lin Ruixian’s throat itched, and he coughed up traces of blood.
Hearing the sound, Cheng Jiaojiao was startled awake: "Lin Ruixian, you’re awake, doctor! Doctor! He’s awake!"
Lin Ruixian looked at Cheng Jiaojiao, and after a long time, he reacted: "Why am I here?"
After the doctor came over to do a simple check-up on Lin Ruixian and left after setting up the IV, Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Lin Ruixian and said: "I got your email and went to your house. I rang the doorbell for a long time, but you didn’t open it. I thought you were asleep at noon, so I tried to look through the window to see if you were there. I vaguely smelled blood, so I jumped in to have a look. Luckily, I went in; otherwise, you might have already reported to King Yan by now."
Lin Ruixian gave a bitter smile: "I didn’t expect my life to be so big."
Cheng Jiaojiao looked at Lin Ruixian and said: "You should say I arrived just in time. You almost scared me to death with all that blood. Your white shirt was unrecognizable."
Thinking back to the scene, Cheng Jiaojiao couldn’t help but shiver.
Lin Ruixian’s eyes blinked: "Thank you. Without you, I might really be dead."
Cheng Jiaojiao didn’t tell him that she had given him the medicine Shangguan Wuyue had given her, only looking at him and saying: "I’ll go buy you something to eat, you’re hungry, right?"
Lin Ruixian acknowledged, and Cheng Jiaojiao stood up to leave, but he suddenly said weakly: "Has the organization’s people come yet?"
Cheng Jiaojiao’s body paused, then she turned her head with a smile: "Yes, don’t worry!"
Only then did Lin Ruixian feel assured, slowly closing his eyes: "That’s good."
A few minutes later, Cheng Jiaojiao returned to Lin Ruixian’s bedside with food.
Looking at the millet porridge and vegetables inside, Lin Ruixian couldn’t help but complain: "Is this all I get to eat?"
Cheng Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him: "The doctor said this is all you can eat right now."
Hearing this, Lin Ruixian could only nod helplessly: "Alright!"
Lin Ruixian’s organs were all injured to varying degrees; even with the blanket, Cheng Jiaojiao was worried for his pain.
As Cheng Jiaojiao fed Lin Ruixian, she couldn’t help but sigh: "How long will you have to stay here with such serious injuries?"
Lin Ruixian misunderstood her meaning, saying calmly: "It’s okay, I can hire a nurse and it’ll be the same. You have things to do, go back home first."
Cheng Jiaojiao rolled her eyes at him: "How can that be? You’re like this because you helped me. If I leave now, what kind of person would I be?"
As they were speaking, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.
A moment later, a man in a trench coat appeared in the ward.
Lin Ruixian’s lips curled: "Now you don’t have to leave, your boyfriend is here!"
Cheng Jiaojiao’s hand trembled, and she turned to meet Shi Qiao’an’s concerned gaze: "Qiao’an!"
Shi Qiao’an walked to the bedside, setting the bowl aside and tightly hugging his girlfriend, sighing lightly: "It’s alright, it’s fine now, I’m here!"
Since being together with him, Cheng Jiaojiao had hardly ever acted alone.
He had protected her well, but when something like this happened, she must have been terrified.
Although the organization had been busy recently and forbade him from coming, he stubbornly made his way here.
Lin Ruixian watched the two embracing closely, unable to help but cough: "Alright, I’ve had enough of this public display of affection!"
