Chapter 503 The Problematic Baby VS The Arrogant Guy Who Loves to Ask Questions 55

Two days later, Lu Jingxun woke up.

He opened his heavy eyelids, and the blinding white light made him frown instinctively.

In the blurry vision, a familiar figure suddenly rushed to the bedside.

Ji Yunhua's face was full of fatigue, her eyes were red and swollen, and her hair, which was always kept in perfect condition, was now loose, with a few messy strands hanging down her cheeks.

"Mom..." he called out, his voice extremely hoarse.

Ji Yunhua gripped his hand tightly and shouted towards the door, "Quick! Go get the doctor!"

Although the medical resources in Lincheng are not very good, considering that Lu Jingxun's current physical condition is not suitable for transferring to another hospital and the risks during the transfer process are too great, the Lu family had no choice but to transfer several highly respected experts from Beijing.

"Jingxun, how are you? Does it still hurt?" Ji Yunhua asked, her voice choked with emotion, warm tears falling onto the hospital bed.

Lu Jingxun wanted to shake his head to comfort his mother, but as soon as he turned his neck, a tearing pain spread from his head, and he could only manage to squeeze out a sentence: "I...I'm fine..."

My throat is very dry and it hurts terribly right now.

Soon, the doctor came to examine him.

Ji Yunhua stood by the bed, watching with a worried expression as the doctors surrounded Lu Jingxun, the lights of various instruments flickering on and off...

After a thorough inspection, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The situation is relatively optimistic. Although the injuries were severe, the person is out of danger. They are now awake, and with proper rest, recovery is only a matter of time.

Lu Jingxun only stayed awake for a short while before falling asleep again.

The doctor also asked everyone to leave so he could rest properly and not be disturbed.

In the afternoon, perhaps because he was preoccupied with something, Lu Jingxun woke up again quickly.

Jiang Zhiyi...

Her name kept echoing in his mind...

His biggest worry right now is her.

Lu Jingxun knew very well that the Lu family must have already taken action against her after such an incident.

Given the Lu family's consistent modus operandi, the person was probably taken to the detention center that very day.

She must have suffered a lot of injustice during the days he was in a coma.

He has to find a way to save her.

As for her pushing him, he didn't blame her... She already had physical problems and wasn't mentally stable. She lost control and did something like that when she was excited, so it wasn't her fault.

He knew she absolutely didn't mean it; otherwise, she wouldn't have shown that look in her eyes—worry, panic, regret…

She was probably even more upset than I was.

Lu Jingxun called his assistant to inquire about the situation.

"Where is Jiang Zhiyi now?" he asked.

The assistant kept his head down, stammering and refusing to say anything.

Lu Jingxun stared at him, his eyes bloodshot, but his gaze was incredibly sharp, carrying an invisible sense of pressure.

The assistant's Adam's apple bobbed, and his back was covered in sweat. "Young Master, I..."

"Playing dumb?" Lu Jingxun suddenly coughed, the sound making his head throb. "I asked you to investigate, and this is the kind of attitude you use to brush me off? Whose side are you on now? Can't you even tell me?"

"I'm sorry, young master... Madam said that nothing should disturb your recovery at this stage..."

The assistant had no choice but to keep quiet; he couldn't say a word.

Before the words were finished, the ward door was pushed open from the outside.

"Jingxun." Ji Yunhua walked in, glanced at the assistant standing there, and raised her chin. "You can go out now."

The assistant breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and immediately left.

Ji Yunhua sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Lu Jingxun with a cold face, and said, "You don't need to ask about her anymore, I will handle her."

She had long guessed that Lu Jingxun would soften his heart, but she didn't expect that he would actually want to release that girl.

That's absolutely absurd.

That was the murderer who killed him, how could we let him go like this!

Lu Jingxun struggled to sit up in bed, his gaze towards Ji Yunhua pleadingly: "Mom, this isn't her fault. She didn't do it on purpose. I'm fine now and don't want to hold her responsible. Let her out."

Ji Yunhua naturally wouldn't agree.

If Lu Jingxun had been indifferent to Jiang Zhiyi, Ji Yunhua might have been able to follow the normal procedure and get rid of her under the guise of being a "madwoman".

But Lu Jingxun's almost obsessive protection of her is making it impossible for her to calm down.

Her shrewd and capable son, the future heir of the Lu family, has become so irrational for a mentally unstable girl, as if he has been bewitched.

That girl is clearly a menace!

She will absolutely not let her go.

Ji Yunhua said coldly, "You don't need to worry about this matter, I will handle it. Just stay here and recover. Even if she is mentally ill, she still has to take responsibility. I have already spoken with the lawyer, and sending her to jail is already more than enough."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingxun couldn't sit still any longer and wanted to go find Jiang Zhiyi immediately. "No way!"

Ji Yunhua completely ignored him, and her tone became stern, brooking no argument: "You can't make this decision. I think you're blinded by that woman. You stay here and recover, and you're not allowed to see anyone."

Lu Jingxun was confined to the hospital ward.

He had no contact with the outside world, and Ji Yunhua had also stopped everyone around him from telling him any news.

Two more days passed.

Lu Jingxun became even more anxious.

He knew very well that he had to find a solution as soon as possible.

That place is not fit for human beings, and it could very well worsen Jiang Zhiyi's condition.

The situation will be even worse then.

In the evening, Ji Yunhua brought over some soup.

The thermos contained milky white soup, a beautiful color, and it was still steaming.

“The lawyer has taken care of everything, and she will be sent to prison soon.” She deliberately emphasized the end of her sentence.

Lu Jingxun coughed violently. "I told you, no!"

Ji Yunhua didn't want to provoke him, but he had to give up on this idea now, otherwise there would be endless trouble. "This matter is settled, and there's no use saying anything more. Your father already knows."

Lu Jingxun remained silent.

Ji Yunhua is not usually a very assertive person, and his current attitude is more likely to represent the will of his father, Lu Xingbang, even though Lu Xingbang has not shown up these past few days.

Lu Jingxun knew that he had no way to fight against them right now.

But... he was also well aware of their weaknesses and knew how to maximize the use of his limited resources.

"Mom, I've already said I don't agree. If you insist on making her pay the price, then I can only resolve it in my own way."

Lu Jingxun spoke calmly, as if what he was about to say had nothing to do with him.

“If something really happens to her, I will go to the police station and turn myself in, saying that I raped her. I will stay in there for as long as she is locked up.”
