Chapter 264 Sleeping Together
Judging from the healing of this scar alone, no more than five days have passed since the new wound appeared!
"Strange? When was this injury sustained?"
She frowned in confusion, but her mind couldn't help but recall the phone call she received from Lu Jinye when she first arrived in Beicheng. His behavior on the phone was strange, and the things he said were inexplicable!
Looking back now, it was probably during that time that he was injured! He just deliberately hid it from her so she wouldn't worry?
etc……
"What makes you so sure I'd worry about you? Why are you always so inexplicably confident?"
A self-deprecating laugh played on Wen Ni's lips as she murmured to herself, carefully wiping his neck with her fingers, but still inadvertently touching the red rope tied around his neck.
Her gaze gradually sharpened as she cradled the dangling bullet casing in her palm.
She had only glanced at it briefly before, but now, upon closer inspection, she discovered that the bullet casing still had some bloodstains that couldn't be washed off.
Do you remember it?
"What?"
Wen Ni was startled and looked up to meet the eyes of Lu Jinye, who had woken up at some point.
He had lost too much blood, his face was pale, and his tired eyes were slightly lowered. He quietly looked at Wen Ni, waiting for her answer.
"This bullet casing has something to do with me?" Wen Ni came back to her senses, sat back slightly, creating an ambiguous distance between them, and thought for a while before saying, "I don't think I ever shot you, did I?"
"If you don't want to think about it, then don't." Lu Jinye closed his eyes. "It's too much for me to ask a woman like you who doesn't understand romance to have any imagination."
"...Hmm?" Wen Ni felt that he was just taking advantage of his injury so that she wouldn't dare to hit him, and he dared to speak so arrogantly! It was simply outrageous.
“This is the sniper rifle shell casing that you took from my waist when we first met.” Lu Jinye coughed for a while, his voice hoarse, and explained, “I carry it with me to constantly remind myself that danger is everywhere, but there are always people waiting for me to come back alive.”
Listen to what he says.
The gold bullet casing hanging around Wen Ni's neck seemed to have gained warmth, making her heart pound with anxiety!
She turned her face away. "Yes, Grandpa Lu, Lu Jinbai, and the captain are all very worried about you. They hope you are safe and sound!"
"And what about you?"
"Me too, of course!"
Hearing her say those words, Lu Jinye's eyes lit up slightly.
Then Wen Ni added, "Even the stray cats and dogs downstairs, I don't want them to get hurt, I just want them to be healthy and safe! Let alone you, a living, breathing person!"
"...I didn't realize you were so compassionate." Lu Jinye experienced extreme joy and sorrow in just a few seconds, and suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, coughing repeatedly!
Wen Ni was puzzled as to why his face was getting paler and paler.
He handed her a glass of warm water. "What's wrong? Did you talk too much? Are you feeling unwell?"
"..." Lu Jinye closed his eyes, refusing to communicate.
"Your fans should really see how capricious you are! What a high-and-mighty movie star, you're practically a kindergarten kid." Wen Ni rolled her eyes inwardly, muttering to herself, then tilted her head back and drank the water in one gulp. "This grandma doesn't like serving people. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you won't drink it, I'll drink it myself~"
"..." Lu Jinye squinted his eyes and sighed silently.
This woman is frighteningly upright...
"Speaking of which, Lu Jinye, do you have absolutely no way to find Godfather Iplis? Even Old Master Lu can't do anything about it? We can't just let him run rampant like this."
Hearing her mention that name finally made Lu Jinye open his eyes again. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, and his hoarse voice revealed a hint of anger. "The fact that he can extend his reach into China means that he is not just a simple underworld godfather. The forces behind him are far more complex than we can imagine!"
"What do you mean?" Wen Ni suddenly had a terrible thought!
“An international force that can control everything and infiltrate both inside and outside the country must have the interests of other countries behind it!” Lu Jinye’s words were already very clear. He coughed a few more times and paused. “By the way, I had Barron investigate Caesar Perth’s matter before and there are some clues.”
"How is it?" Wen Ni frowned.
"He shouldn't be the person we're looking for; he doesn't have any gunshot wounds. But even so, his identity is definitely not simple; he's certainly not entirely innocent!"
"Not him...? Okay, I understand." Wen Ni's face was somber as she tucked the blanket around him. "Your injuries are still quite serious, and it's getting late. Let's not talk about this anymore, you should go to sleep!"
"I'm going to sleep, what about you? Are you planning to just sit here and watch over me until dawn?" Lu Jinye stared intently at her slightly tired face!
She raced cars all day today, and then she had to worry about him all night. How could she not be tired?
"I told Qin Yuan and the others to go and rest. I'm not sleepy anyway, so there's no harm in staying here." In the past, when she was doing missions and waiting for targets, it was common for her to go two or three days without sleep.
"Then, why don't you lie down too?" Lu Jinye raised his hand and gently patted the empty spot next to him!
He actually invited her to sleep in the same bed?
Wen Ni was momentarily stunned, but her mind had already automatically played an hour-long pornographic film.
"No, I can sit here!"
“But if you sit here, I’ll be worried about you and won’t be able to sleep.” Lu Jinye said, clenching his fist and coughing a few times, sounding particularly resentful. “Didn’t we sleep together at my aunt’s house before? You don’t need to be embarrassed.”
"Shut up! What do you mean by 'slept together'?" Wen Ni's eyes widened instantly.
If it weren't for Lu Jinye's injuries, she would have definitely punched him twice! Suppressing the turmoil in her heart, Wen Ni decided not to continue being coy and risk provoking him! She angrily climbed up from the side and casually lay down next to him!
She lay flat on her back with her arms crossed, staring at the chandelier hanging high in the ceiling. Feeling the regular, even breathing of the person next to her, she gradually felt sleepy.
"Wen Ni".
"Hmm?" she hummed lazily.
"I forgot to congratulate you. Congratulations on winning the international racing championship. Is there anything you want, or any unfulfilled wishes? Tell me, and perhaps I can grant them."
"What can a seriously injured patient like you, lying in bed, do for me?" Wen Ni couldn't help but chuckle silently.
"The injury will heal eventually." Lu Jinye blinked. "No matter what it is, just tell me, and I will do my best to do it."
