Du Wei and the others searched all the hotels and guesthouses near the Chinese medicine shop, looking for any place where people could stay, but still couldn't find Rongrong.

Ji Mingjing's mood worsened, and he exuded a chilling aura that made people want to stay away.

Until Gu Yunzhen sent him a WeChat message.

It's very short, only three words.

—The darkest place is under the lamp.

The saying "the darkest place is under the lamp" means that the most dangerous place is the safest place. In other words, the person was in a traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy!

Those words were a wake-up call!

Ji Mingjing was so worried that he became confused and searched for people everywhere like a headless fly, wasting so much time!

On the way back to the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy, Ji Mingjing was sweating profusely, fearing that his foolishness might have caused Rongrong to suffer fatal injuries.

Rongrong woke up an hour ago.

She found herself in a very unfamiliar place, and felt somewhat lost.

Moreover, her head was in excruciating pain; even the slightest movement felt like being pricked with needles, causing her eyes to quickly redden. Lying there with teary eyes, she looked utterly pitiful.

Rongrong hoped someone would come in and help her, but she was also afraid that the person who came in would be a stranger.

She was in a daze, not knowing how long she had been lying there.

Ji Mingjing has arrived!

Seeing her lying on the ground, pale-faced, Ji Mingjing gasped for breath. He strode over to her, knelt on one knee, and pulled her into his arms, calling out, "Rongrong? Rongrong, wake up, don't sleep."

Judging from her appearance, Rongrong had no external injuries, but her face was pale and bloodless, which clearly indicated that she had suffered psychological trauma.

Because a faint, delicate fragrance permeated the air.

Ji Mingjing didn't know what she had done. He frowned and picked her up as he walked out of the basement.

This is the basement of the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy.

Ji Mingjing carried Rongrong all the way out of the traditional Chinese medicine pharmacy. After getting into the car, he instructed Ji Kong, "Go to the hospital!"

"Yes, Master."

Ji Kong started the engine and drove to the hospital.

Ji Mingjing looked down at Rongrong's face, his eyes overflowing with pity: "Rongrong?"

Rongrong heard a voice calling her repeatedly, and she struggled to open her eyes.

The moment Rongrong saw Ji Mingjing, tears streamed down her face like broken pearls. Like a drowning person grasping at a straw, she reached out and hugged him tightly.

Ji Mingjing's eyes darkened, and his voice was low and hoarse: "Rongrong?"

Rongrong's expression froze for a moment.

She remembered that she and Xianli had broken off their engagement.

"I'm sorry, Master, I was so scared..." Her voice trembled as she slowly released his hands.

A sharp glint flashed in Ji Mingjing's eyes.

Rongrong is extremely brave; even in dangerous situations, she would never show such a vulnerable side.

However, her second personality is quite the opposite, almost identical to that of a naive and innocent little girl.

Therefore, this is Rongrong's second personality.

But when she left his side, she was in her dominant personality.

In other words, she encountered a life-threatening situation in her dream?!

Although he didn't know what she had done, now was not the time to investigate. He gently coaxed her, "Don't be afraid, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up first."

However, Rongrong clutched his clothes with both hands, her body trembling slightly, and said, "Master, could you please take me to find Wubao?"

Ji Mingjing narrowed his eyes and asked, "Why are you looking for her?"

Rongrong lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing this, Ji Mingjing compromised and said, "Let's go, I'll take you to find her."

He looked up and ordered, "Ji Kong, go to the Gu residence."

"Yes, Master."

Ji Kong changed course at the next intersection and headed towards the Gu residence.

"Thank you, Master."

Rongrong loosened her grip on his clothes, intending to pull away from his embrace.

Ji Mingjing frowned: "Don't move!"

Rongrong's body stiffened, and she dared not move, softly replying, "Oh."

Ji Mingjing noticed her changes. His brows furrowed deeper and deeper as he said calmly, "Relax. Am I that scary?"

Rongrong's heart tightened, and she quickly looked up at him, saying very seriously, "The head of the family is a good person."

Another good person!

In an instant, Ji Mingjing's face turned green. He didn't want to be a good person!

Unfortunately, the woman in his arms had become an innocent child who didn't understand the feelings between men and women at all. If Ji Mingjing were to confess his feelings to her like this, he would have the illusion that he was a beast.

Of course, she would also be so frightened by him that she would hide whenever she saw him.

This is not the outcome he wanted.

Ji Mingjing hadn't seen her in person for a long time, so spending some time with her was a good idea; at least she wouldn't refuse him.

As long as it's her, even if she needs to be taken care of like a child, he'd gladly do it.

Rongrong was so weak that she fell asleep exhausted, even though her body was stiff.

It was already 8:30 when we arrived at the Gu residence.

Upon hearing that Ji Mingjing had brought Rongrong, Shangguan Wu immediately went downstairs, and Gu Yunzhen also came out of the study. The couple arrived in the living room one after the other.

Upon seeing Shangguan Wu, Ji Mingjing pleaded, "Shangguan Wu, could you please check on her physical condition?"

Shangguan Wu also noticed that Rongrong's face was too pale, without any color in it, so he immediately stepped forward, took Rongrong's hand, and took her pulse.

The longer it went on, the more tightly Shangguan Wu frowned.

Ji Mingjing's heart sank.

At this moment, Gu Yunzhen strolled into the living room as if walking leisurely.

Ji Mingjing glanced at him only once before continuing to stare at Shangguan Wu's face, trying to judge Rongrong's physical condition from her expression.

Gu Yunzhen lowered his eyes and said casually, "Calm down. What kind of talk is it for the dignified head of the Ji family to act like a headless fly?"

A headless fly?

Ji Mingjing suddenly sneered, "If Shangguan Wu were lying here, could you remain calm?"
