Chapter 368 Uncle and Aunt
Their strange attire was one thing, but what was even more... they were hunching over and walking like crabs!
Their stealthy movements and shifty eyes made them look like thieves if the corridor lights hadn't been on!
"Which ward is it? Have you found out?" the man asked in a low voice, peeking around.
"It's definitely the single room at the end of the corridor!" The woman said impatiently, annoyed by his nagging.
"A private room... why isn't anyone guarding the door? Is that possible? If you've come to the wrong place, all your years of reconnaissance have been for nothing!" the man said sarcastically.
"Shut up! Your breath smells like seafood!"
"Who? Me? Are you trying to humiliate me?" The man exhaled a breath, and nearly fainted from the stench!
Nurses happened to be passing by and stopped to look at them with questioning eyes!
"What are you two doing here?" a nurse asked warily as she stepped forward.
"We are the patient's family members, here to visit!"
"Yes, yes, don't misunderstand!"
They grinned awkwardly, and before the nurse could ask any more questions, they straightened up and quickened their pace to the ward at the end of the corridor.
At first glance, it seems that the lights in this ward are off?
"I told you you'd got the wrong information!" The man pursed his lips, muttered something, and swaggered ahead, pushing open the door. "This is clearly an empty ward! There's no one here!"
"Impossible! My information can't be wrong!" The woman took a few steps forward, full of disbelief, and followed her in.
It's not completely dark yet.
Even without the lights on, you can see the empty hospital bed and the everyday items on the table!
This place is clearly inhabited, but where are the people?
"Squeak..." The door behind me made a sound and slowly closed.
"...!"
Both the man and the woman felt a chill run down their spines.
They stiffly turned their heads, and what came into view was the girl who had appeared out of nowhere and was standing by the door!
Dim daylight, blue and white striped hospital gowns.
The girl kept her head down, her short hair casting shadows that obscured her face. The darkness and eeriness were chilling!
She was still holding a sharp fruit knife in her hand, water dripping from the tip...
"Waaaaaah!!!"
The screams echoed through the corridor from the ward.
Inside the stairwell, the iron door was tightly closed, and Lu Jinye, who was on the phone, did not notice anything unusual outside.
He leaned against the stair railing, his tone indifferent and casual as he spoke into the phone, "Really? Congratulations! So besides calling to tell me about your international award, is there anything else important?"
"What...are you busy right now?" A soft female voice came from the phone. "Did I bother you? Well, Mr. Lu, you're always so busy. I should feel honored that you took the time out of your busy schedule to call me back."
"Don't misunderstand, I thought it was a call from the company, that's why I answered." Lu Jinye refused to be tied up without any politeness. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"etc!"
"Lu Jinye, I'll be returning to China in a few days, and I might stay there to develop my career!" the woman said urgently. "Can you come pick me up when I come back? After all, I don't know anyone in China right now, except for you... We grew up in the same compound, and I've never forgotten those wonderful and happy memories!"
"Won't your team arrange everything for you? I'm busy, you should contact someone else."
After saying that, Lu Jinye hung up the phone without waiting for a reply!
As I walked out of the stairwell, I saw a circle of people surrounding the ward door at the end of the corridor.
There were hospital nurses, guards, and even patients who limped out to watch the commotion!
"Isn't that Wen Ni's hospital room?"
Lu Jinye didn't have time to think, and he ran off in a flash!
Inside the ward where everyone was pointing and whispering.
The light bulb is on.
A man and a woman dressed like black crows, wearing large sunglasses, were sitting on chairs with their arms tied with IV tubes, one in front of the other. They had their heads down and seemed ashamed.
On the other chair placed in front of them, the short-haired girl Wen Ni sat steadily.
With one leg still bandaged, she coldly toyed with a fruit knife, her cold eyes fixed on them without blinking!
"Who sent you? What is your purpose?"
"……Forehead."
"that……"
The man and woman stammered and hesitated, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time!
"Clang!"
With a flick of her wrist, Wen Ni sent the fruit knife flying between the chairs where the two men were bound. The tip of the knife pierced the wood, demonstrating the immense force she used!
The man and the woman lowered their heads even further.
"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin." Wen Ni got up, dragged her injured leg forward, pulled out a fruit knife, and pretended to scare them, "Then I'll cut off one finger first, and if that's not enough, I'll cut off the second one, and after cutting off the fingers, I'll cut off the toes. Let's see if you still confess?"
"Please spare her life, Miss Wen Ni!"
Qin Yuan, carrying a lunchbox, pushed through the crowd and shouted!
At the same time, Lu Jinye rushed in. He first grabbed Wen Ni's wrist, the one holding the fruit knife, and then turned to the man and woman, frowning, "Uncle! Aunt? What are you doing here?"
"That's right! Uncle Lu, Aunt Mao, you're here, but why are you dressed so strangely, like thieves..." Qin Yuan couldn't help but laugh, almost getting stabbed to death by the glares from the two of them.
"Huh? Uncle? Aunt?" Wen Ni was stunned. For the first time, she found these words so awkward and difficult to pronounce!
Lu Jinye's uncle and aunt, aren't they Lu Jinbai's biological parents, the younger brother of Captain Lu Zhenbang, and the youngest son of Old Master Lu Jianxun...?
So...?
Wen Ni's hand trembled as she gripped the fruit knife.
But she quickly rubbed her nose, silently got up, and with two swift strokes, cut the IV tubing binding them!
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding! Everyone, stop looking!" Qin Yuan quickly turned around and dispersed the growing crowd. "Brother, you're in a wheelchair, why are you all so eager to join in the fun? Please disperse!"
"Let's disperse!"
After driving away all the onlookers, the ward door was closed.
Lu Zhenhua and Mao Linlin sat on the chairs, looking a little reserved, their eyes darting cautiously at Wen Ni, who had returned to the hospital bed!
"This girl is quite strong!" Uncle Lu Zhenhua said with a smile, breaking the strange atmosphere.
"That's right! We heard about what happened to you during our leave and rushed back to see you. Who would have thought we'd be mistaken for thieves by that young lady?" Aunt Mao Linlin covered her mouth and laughed awkwardly. "She was even injured, but she subdued the two of us in no time! She's really amazing! No wonder she's a soldier trained by Brother Lu!"
