It was an inconspicuous piece of news: "Hong Kong real estate tycoon Chu Hongzhi is seriously ill and has been admitted to the hospital for treatment."
A few lines below the title briefly describe Chu Hongzhi's condition: he is in the late stage of cancer and has not much time left.
"Ningyan, what's wrong with you?"
Gao Qiaolan's concerned greeting came to my ears.
Jiang Ningyan only then realized that the newspaper in her hand had fallen to the ground at some point.
She tried to pick it up, but her fingers were a little stiff, and it took her several tries before she succeeded.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gao Qiaolan quickly took the newspaper and read it quickly.
Soon, a trace of sadness flashed across his brows.
"I'll go ask the soldier on guard to see if I can make a phone call."
After the Lu family's freedom was restricted, they also cut off contact with the outside world.
All the telephones and cell phones were taken away, and the only source of information was newspapers.
Gao Qiaolan quickly called Lu Guohua out, and the two walked to the gate of the courtyard together.
He said something to the soldier on guard in a nice tone.
The soldier frowned and refused loudly, "Rules are rules. You are not allowed to contact the outside world. Don't you understand?"
"This has happened for the umpteenth time, and you're still ruthless, aren't you? Be careful, or I'll report you immediately!"
Lu Guohua held a high position, and no one had dared to speak to him like that before.
But now, he moved his lips, frowned, and said nothing in the end.
The soldiers on guard were also specially arranged because they had a grudge against the Lu family.
This man used to be the Lu family's driver. He used the Lu family's influence to gain many benefits for his relatives.
After Lu Guohua found out, no matter how he cried and begged, he still resolutely replaced him.
Now that the situation has changed, I will certainly not miss the opportunity to ridicule you.
The couple sighed and slowly closed the gate.
Gao Qiaolan's eyes were red. "What should I do? Because of our family's problems, Ningyan can't even go back to her parents' home."
Lu Guohua frowned and thought for a long time, but there was really no other way.
"After the shift change, I'll ask the soldiers outside the door."
A few hours later, it was dark.
The soldiers on guard were also replaced.
Lu Guohua opened the door and whispered something.
The young warrior looked hesitant, visibly moved.
Although many people now say that the Lu family has collapsed, he has also heard another version that the Lu family was framed and will make a comeback sooner or later.
He helps now, what if the situation really changes later?
Thinking of this, the soldier nodded and said, "Then when I'm free, I'll help you pass on the message."
He was very efficient and brought the reply the next day.
After reading it, Lu Guohua felt relieved.
The other party is his old friend for many years and also an important figure with whom he can have a say.
The letter promised that a car would be sent tomorrow to take Jiang Ningyan to the port city.
Jiang Ningyan quickly packed her luggage and put all the necessities into a small alley.
Although Chu Hongzhi had not spent much time with her and was not good at speaking, he was indeed trying hard to be a good father.
Because I am busy with business and have less time to spend with you, I compensate you with money.
He had even notarized his will, leaving most of his property to her as compensation for the years they had been separated.
Even though she came from a book, she had already regarded Chu Hongzhi as her biological father.
The next day, before dawn, a car quietly stopped at the door of the old house.
Jiang Ningyan felt a little dizzy because she didn't sleep well the whole night.
I don’t know what’s wrong with me lately, but I’ve been feeling unwell.
I closed my eyes for a long time before I recovered a little.
Looking out the window, we have already driven out of Beijing, and the scenery on the road is unfamiliar.
When Lu Bingchuan went on the mission, the scenery she saw now was probably the same.
Just as I was daydreaming, the world suddenly spun before my eyes and a loud crashing sound rang in my ears.
Damn, car accident.
This was Jiang Ningyan’s last thought, and then her eyes went dark and she fainted.
In the long darkness, I don’t know how much time has passed.
When she regained consciousness, she vaguely heard two people talking.
"Why aren't you awake yet? Didn't you say it would be soon?"
"I'm not a god. If he doesn't wake up, just wait a little longer."
This voice... sounds so familiar.
Jiang Ningyan thought hard and then came to the conclusion in disbelief.
This is Wen Che's voice!
Could it be that she died in a car accident and returned to the 21st century?
I slowly opened my eyes and saw that familiar face.
“…Wen Che?”
She was probably seriously injured and even had difficulty speaking.
"Hey, you're awake."
Wen Che curled the corners of his mouth and moved closer to observe her, "How do you feel?"
Her little face was extremely pale, her head was wrapped in thick gauze, and her eyelashes were trembling, like a weak kitten.
"Where is this?"
Jiang Ningyan asked softly, "Is it from our era?"
Wen Che's smile faded a bit, and his tone was neither gloomy nor sad, "Heh, it was your husband's era."
After being stunned for several seconds, Jiang Ningyan finally reacted.
"You, you're wearing it too?"
Wen Che sighed, "You're so stupid. We were in the same car accident, so of course I came with you."
"I've been looking for you for so long, but you haven't remembered me at all."
Jiang Ningyan blinked, feeling a little guilty, "I'm sorry."
After all, the system said that the opportunity to travel through a book is only available to "lucky readers", so she naturally didn't expect Wen Che to follow her to this small world.
006 coughed lightly, "Host, I just found out too. Wen Che had physical contact with you during the teleportation, so I accidentally brought him along."
