Chapter 122 She was left to take care of him.

Why are you asking about her?

Wen Ni did not answer directly, but instead chose to ask a question in return.

"There's no particular reason. As you know, I'm a doctor, so I'm quite interested in medical matters. People who are more outstanding than me are naturally more curious about me."

Su Li smiled gently and continued, "Especially a genius who can develop a special medicine in just a few days, I'm even more curious about what kind of person she is!"

"I see."

Wen Ni nodded in sudden understanding.

Then she tilted her head at him half-jokingly, "There's no need to be so curious. She's probably just like me, with two eyes and a mouth, nothing special!"

"Huh? What?" Su Li didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Miss Wen Ni! The elevator is here!"

Not far from the elevator entrance, Qin Yuan and Lu Jinye stood there looking back at her.

Wen Ni raised an eyebrow playfully, not intending to tell him that the "genius" he was talking about was herself!

Leaving Su Li completely bewildered, she turned and walked briskly toward Lu Jinye and the others!

When Su Li wanted to ask more questions, she found that Wen Ni and the others were nowhere to be seen.

"I hope to have the opportunity to meet that genius doctor in person."

Su Lijun looked angry but with a hint of regret on his face.

If he hadn't been forcibly quarantined last time, he might have been able to participate in the gamma virus research and debate with that genius doctor...

What a pity, what a real pity!

However, there will always be opportunities.

"Working overtime, Dr. Su?" The nurses passing by in the corridor cast questioning glances, bringing Su Li back to her senses.

"Ah~ no, I just had something urgent to attend to and came here temporarily. I'm going back now."

"Haha, okay, bye-bye Dr. Su, be careful in the dark!"

"Um."

Su Li smiled, took off her white coat, and turned back to her office.

The night outside the window grew ever deeper.

The entire city seemed to have fallen asleep.

Until a car with its headlights blaring streaked across the night.

Finally, it stopped in front of Grandpa Lu's house in the military compound.

The surrounding buildings were all dark, but Old Lu's house was brightly lit and bustling with activity!

"grandfather."

Lu Jinye stood in the center of the reception room, with Wen Ni and Qin Yuan standing on either side of him behind him.

The old man, Lu Jianxun, sat on the sofa.

Despite his advanced age, he still had to stay up late, and his mental state was clearly not good, but this did not affect his calm and composed demeanor!

"Comrade Wen."

"Mr. Lu".

"Come on, don't stand there. You must be tired after a long day. Come sit here with Grandpa!"

Lu Jianxun, accustomed to a heavy tone, softened his voice slightly when looking at Wen Ni, and patted the empty sofa seat next to him.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu."

Wen Ni didn't hesitate to sit down.

"Old Master, Master Lu is still injured. Why don't you let him sit down and chat as well?" Qin Yuan, ever the protective master, dared to ask!

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianxun pursed his lips but did not agree. He simply turned to look at Lu Jinye for a moment before asking, "Where is Jinye injured? Has the wound been properly treated?"

"It's a minor injury, nothing serious."

"That's good. Scars are a man's badge of honor. As long as they don't endanger his life, they're not a big deal!" Lu Jianxun's face was tense, and his voice suddenly turned cold. "Do you know who did it?"

"They are the same group as before, and the case has been handed over to the task force for investigation."

"good."

Lu Jianxun nodded, his grip on his cane tightening slightly.

Then he turned to look at Wen Ni, who was sitting quietly beside him, and spoke earnestly.

"Comrade Wen, I'm so sorry to have troubled you to save Jinye's life again. To be honest, I've been feeling a bit guilty, since it was me who dragged you into such a dangerous situation! Do you blame me, or Lu Jinye?"

"How could that be?" Wen Ni shook her head. "Old leader, this is a task assigned to me by my superiors. I am just fulfilling my duties. Moreover, there are always uncertain risks involved in carrying out any task."

"You're such a good girl!" Lu Jianxun's eyes were full of admiration!

"Cough cough cough." Lu Jinye coughed a few times in a muffled manner.

Wen Ni looked up at the sound.

I noticed Lu Jinye's lowered eyebrows and increasingly pale face.

“Grandpa Lu, it’s getting late. The doctor said that Lu Jinye’s injuries need to be properly rested in order to recover quickly.”

"Feeling sorry for him?" Lu Jianxun smiled knowingly.

"Hmm? Well, not really..."

"Not heartbroken? Then he's not hurt badly enough! I see he's alright, yet he runs around aimlessly, giving others the opportunity to hurt him..."

“You can’t blame him for that. He can’t just stay home all the time, can he?” Wen Ni tried to make amends for Lu Jinye.

He did not notice the increasingly obvious smile in Lu Jianxun's eyes.

"Alright, since Comrade Wen says so, Qin Yuan, help Jin Ye back to his room to rest. Also, Jin Ye shouldn't leave the compound for the next few days. He can go out again once his injuries have healed!"

"Understood, sir!"

As if granted some kind of pardon, Qin Yuan grabbed Lu Jinye's arm and tried to run away.

When Lu Jinye turned around, his eyes met Wen Ni's.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, her bright and cunning eyes seeming to say: I helped you out of that predicament, and now you owe me one more time!

You can keep it.

He will pay it back eventually.

Watching Lu Jinye and his companion disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Lu Jianxun's expression became even more amiable. "Comrade Wen, actually I have a favor to ask."

"Please speak."

Wen Ni knew that calling her over so late couldn't be that simple.

"It will still be some time before you and Konno are no longer bound by your guard duty. I hope that during the time Konno is recuperating in the compound, you can stay here and take good care of him for me!"

"Are you going on a long trip?" Wen Ni asked in surprise.

Settle down?

She lives here?

"To be honest, my health has deteriorated a lot lately. I had already made an appointment to go to Nancheng to recuperate, but I kept putting it off because I had too many things to do. But now I can't put it off any longer."

Lu Jianxun looked helpless, while constantly observing Wen Ni's expression.

"Jinye's parents aren't home, and Qin Yuan and the others are a bunch of careless men who can't take good care of Jinye at all. Otherwise, Jinye wouldn't be so weak now, and he hasn't fully recovered..."

"If you can stay, I'll feel much more at ease while I'm away. Otherwise..."

As Lu Jianxun spoke, he let out a long sigh. "The doctor said I shouldn't worry, otherwise it won't help my condition."

“…I understand, Mr. Lu.” Wen Ni said helplessly.

She was still Lu Jinye's bodyguard at the moment, so how could she refuse?

"I knew you were beautiful inside and out. I've already had your room tidied up! It's right next to Konno's bedroom!"

Lu Jianxun immediately perked up. "Butler! Come quickly, take Comrade Wen to rest!"

“…Hmm?” A big question mark appeared above Wen Ni’s head.

Why does she feel like she's been tricked?

I said goodnight to Grandpa Lu.

Wen Ni then got up and went upstairs with the butler to the room prepared for her.

As she walked, she took out her phone and sent a message to Xiaocheng, telling them that she wouldn't be going back to stay that night.

"We've arrived, Miss Wenni."

The butler bowed slightly and made way for him.

"This bedroom was specially designed for you by the old man, and he hopes you will like it!"
