Chapter 90 Chapter 90 Already Dead

"Bed number one, Tao Ning, right? Where are you going? You're in very poor health right now and need to rest. Come back to your bed with me..."

The nurse hadn't expected the sensational, handsome young man to be so bold. After waking up, he pulled out the needle without a word and hurried outside. Fortunately, for some reason, he stood still at the door again. A while ago, she encountered a bespectacled patient who also rushed out like crazy after waking up...

Is it a trend now to pull out needles and flush them out?

"I'm sorry to trouble you." The handsome boy looked guilty in the eyes of the nurse, and even bowed to them properly.

"Oh, don't be like this, it's not a big problem..."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person. Moreover, this patient was not only able to correct his mistakes, but also polite and good-looking. The nurse's heart instantly melted into a pool of water. She quickly put on a smiling face and reached out to support Tao Ning, "Come, lie down on the bed quickly." But after pulling hard, the person behind her didn't move.

The nurse turned around and saw the young man staring at her intently. He asked hesitantly, "Excuse me...where is the person who brought me here now? I have something important to tell him."

"The person who brought you here?" The nurse's expression was indescribable. "You mean the tall one covered in blood..."

"Yes!" The boy's eyes lit up instantly, and his voice became excited. "Do you know where he is?"

The nurse became excited when this person was mentioned and told everything at once.

Yesterday, the emergency department received a call for help: someone had suddenly fainted. The victim was located in an apartment building next to one of Haizhou's most prestigious private international schools. The emergency department staff, assuming it was just a routine rescue operation, rushed an ambulance.

You don't know what this is, but it can scare people to death. Wow! There were two bloody people lying in the apartment, blood was everywhere on the floor, and a tall man covered in blood was holding a young boy and shaking all over. The scene was extremely chaotic.

The doctors and nurses in the emergency team had seen many bloody scenes while saving people, but the tragic scene in that apartment was too much like a murder scene, and the "murderer" might be the tall man in front of them who looked mentally ill. They went over to check the situation in fear, and while the man's mind was on the person in his arms, they secretly called the police.

So when he arrived at the hospital, the man was taken away by the police not long after.

The nurse felt that Tao Ning was also a victim and cast a sympathetic look at him. "Oh, how did you get involved with that kind of person? No matter how important the matter is, it's not as important as your own life. You must not go to him..."

Tao Ning's face gradually paled, his already pale complexion now as pale as paper, as if he would collapse at any moment with the slightest breeze. He stared at the starry sky electronic watch on his left wrist, which had always been worn on his hand. The warrior-patterned watch on his right hand, a gift from Song Yucong, had been crushed by Zhao Jingqun.

That was the first day Tao Ning was tied to the bed by Zhao Jingqun. The man's cold gaze fell on the watch on his right wrist. He grumbled for a while, then roughly ripped the watch off and stomped on it. Tao Ning was furious and told him he was unreasonable.

Tao Ning had forgotten how Zhao Jingqun had argued with him at that time. He only remembered Zhao Jingqun's red eyes and the look of grievance on his usually arrogant face. At that moment, all his anger disappeared.

"Did you hear that, Bed Number One? Don't go look for that psychopath. We all think he has a problem with his brain..." As the nurse spoke, she saw the handsome boy who had been so polite just now suddenly frowned, with a somewhat cold expression. For some reason, she felt panicked and closed her mouth.

The nurse remembered that when Tao Ning was first brought in, his doll-like beauty caused quite a stir. All the nurses on duty in the building gathered together to discuss whether he was mixed-race, a member of an ethnic minority, or a celebrity.

But those questions never questioned her gender, because although Tao Ning's face was beautiful, there was not a trace of femininity in her. If you look closely, there is a bit of stubbornness on that meticulously carved face that is too thin.

But the nurse didn't expect that when this face turned cold, people would involuntarily feel a sense of alienation and keep their distance, just like the original dark clouds dispersing to reveal the bright moon hanging high in the sky. Normally, people can only glimpse the moon's shadow on the lake, and only the lake knows that the moon in the sky is high and unattainable.

"He's not mentally ill."

Tao Ning looked at her and said without any expression: "He's my boyfriend."

"If it's not mental illness, then... w-what? Boyfriend?!"

Tao Ning didn't care about the strange looks from the people around her. She just felt unprecedented anxiety and boredom in her heart. Ever since she promised to tell Xu Jun and Song Yucong her location that day, the system disappeared.

No matter whether Tao Ning called out to the system in his heart or out loud, there was no sound in his mind.

Sometimes Tao Ning even felt that everything was just a dream, and that the system and strategy were just things he had imagined. But when he covered his heart, which was filled with thoughts and worries about that man, Tao Ning knew that everything was real.

But he couldn't find Zhao Jingqun.

Knowing that the system has the ability to make her meet him, Tao Ning, with the idea that "she has not yet completed the task of conquering Song Yucong" or other shameful and somewhat selfish thoughts, plans to find Song Yucong, hoping that getting close to Song Yucong can lure out the system. Tao Ning has always been suspicious of Song Heng.

Tao Ning thought it would take some effort to find Song Yucong, but he found him so easily. He didn't go looking for him, but was brought there by someone. Tao Ning also knew the person who took him to the VIP ward: Gao Yu, the assistant who took him to the Song family manor villa.

Gao Yu looked at the kiss mark on Tao Ning's collarbone, his face embarrassed. "Young Master Song said he must see you when he woke up, but don't worry..." He obviously misunderstood something, covering his mouth and said, "He won't be able to get out of bed for weeks, so he won't touch you."

Tao Ning glanced at him in confusion, but nodded. Before entering, she calmly asked, "...Isn't the eldest young master here?"

However, what Tao Ning had never expected was that Gao Yu showed an expression even more confused than his, "What young master?"

At that moment, Tao Ning felt a chill run from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. She stood in front of the ward door for a long time without moving. Why was this happening? Since Gao Yu was able to work as the president's assistant at a large company, his reaction couldn't be so poor. When he mentioned the "young master", Gao Yu should have immediately thought of Song Heng instead of asking him "what young master?"

How could this happen? Or was it because his question wasn't detailed enough and Gao Yu didn't react?

Just as she lost contact with the system, Song Heng had another problem. Tao Ning's heart was in turmoil, but she pretended to be calm and repeated, "Isn't the eldest young master Song Heng here? Song Yucong was admitted to the hospital, didn't he come to visit?"

Tao Ning stared intently at Gao Yu's face, not missing a single detail. But a voice inside him kept telling him, "Whoever it is, stop joking with him." Yet, Gao Yu still wore a look of bewilderment that made Tao Ning's hair stand on end. And this time, upon hearing the name "Song Heng," he felt as if he had seen a ghost.

"Song Heng? The eldest young master? ... There was such a person in the Song family, but he died ten years ago..."

*

Tao Ning stood outside the VIP ward in a daze.

Gao Yu's words kept echoing in his mind. Song Heng had died ten years ago. He felt that Gao Yu was joking with him and asked many questions, such as Song Heng's funding and Song Heng's identity as the Chief Prosecutor.

But Gao Yu once again looked at him with that confused, yet somewhat sympathetic gaze, saying that the Song family did have a Chief Prosecutor, but that he was a relative who had a good relationship with the Song family. He then asked if he had been emotionally hurt by Song Yucong's situation, and offered to reject Song Yucong's unreasonable demands on his behalf...

These words made her heart completely confused. In the end, she couldn't even hear what Gao Yu was saying. Tao Ning shook her head randomly and pushed the door to enter the VIP ward.

Compared to Xu Jun, who didn't have many injuries on his face, the man on the hospital bed had his face wrapped in bandages, with only his eyes, nose and mouth exposed. He looked a little scary at first glance, especially his phoenix eyes that were glaring at him fiercely.

Unfortunately, the visitor was obviously absent-minded. Song Yucong was in so much pain that he immediately asked someone to call Tao Ning over as soon as he woke up. He was almost mad with rage, and all he could think about was how that country bumpkin Tao Ning had dared to team up with that mad dog Zhao Jingqun to deceive him!

Even though Xu Jun had told him last time that Zhao Jingqun was Tao Ning's ex-boyfriend, Song Yucong was furious at the time, but he could not easily believe Xu Jun. Instead, he wanted Tao Ning to admit it in person.

He believed everything Tao Ning said.

As a result, when Song Yucong broke into the apartment, he saw Tao Ning with kiss marks all over her body, and his mind went blank. Then when Zhao Jingqun proudly said that Tao Ning was his wife, Song Yucong wanted to sink the adulterous couple into the pond immediately.

This was ridiculous! He actually believed Tao Ning's lies about Zhao Jingqun being his cousin! Song Yucong was nearly irritated to the point of having a brain hemorrhage. Tao Ning was a liar who was always greedy!

Want him to donate bone marrow in the future? Don't even think about it! Even if Tao Ning died in front of him, Song Yucong would never care about Tao Ning again.

The jealousy and resentment in his heart turned into anger, and Song Yucong's eyes were about to spit fire, but the person in front of him remained motionless, staring at the fruit basket on the table in a trance, not seeing him at all.

With a loud clatter, everything on the table was thrown to the ground. Tao Ning was brought back to her senses by the loud noise. She saw the blood-soaked bandage on Song Yucong's arm and quickly stopped him. "...What are you doing? Don't move. Do you want some water?"

"Get out of here..." Song Yucong wanted to yell because his body was in so much pain, but the voice he shouted out was not even one tenth as loud as usual, and it sounded a bit aggrieved.

Tao Ning's heart softened. Honestly, even if the mission to capture Song Yucong was completed, or even if the system existed, he still couldn't let go of the man before him. He simply couldn't let go. Perhaps they were right, he was a complete liar. If he wanted to let go, he should have done so decisively.

He had to take the initiative to find the answer, whether it was looking for Zhao Jingqun or investigating Song Heng, instead of passively staying where he was and using the excuse of a mission to hurt Song Yucong again...

After thinking it through, Tao Ning silently picked up the fallen fruit and put it back in the basket. She tidied the table, poured a cup of hot water and placed it where Song Yucong could reach it at any time. She said softly, "I'm sorry."

After saying that, Tao Ning was about to turn around and leave, but he hadn't taken a few steps when he heard the sound of something heavy falling to the ground behind him, accompanied by Song Yucong's broken growl: "Come back here! Who gave you the courage to leave without my permission..."
