Chapter 209 I can never wake up someone who's pretending to be asleep



"Is Young Master Xiao trying to take advantage of someone's misfortune?"

Noticing that Xiao Qi's eyes were lingering on her abdomen, Jing Li casually teased him.

Once Xiao Qi snapped out of her daze, she wanted nothing more than to dig a hole and bury herself. How had she gotten so engrossed in watching...?

Well...

She has a really great figure.

Unlike most female stars who become extremely thin for the sake of appearing on camera, she has a curvaceous figure and a healthy kind of beauty because of her years of dance practice.

Forcing himself to look away, Xiao Qi shifted his gaze to her injured arm. Without saying a word, he asked, "Have you studied first aid?"

The torn fabric was tightly wrapped around her arm, which explained why, despite the severe injury, blood didn't drip but only soaked into the fabric.

Isn't this common sense?

Jing Li answered with a light laugh.

No, thank you.

What ordinary person would know how to treat a gunshot wound...?

"How did you get injured? How did you know about my agreement with Xue Ling? And how did you find me?"

Once Xiao Qi calmed down, his mind started working, and he found many suspicious points, so he began to question them.

He couldn't help but wonder if the person in front of him was really the Jing Li he knew!

The Jing Li of the past would never have done these things, let alone handled the situation so calmly after being injured, or even found out her whereabouts on her own without using any connections.

Only those who have long lived a life of constant danger will become accustomed to it and be able to find solutions immediately.

"Someone doesn't want me to leave Country D alive. Guess who it is?"

With a bright smile, Jing Li looked intently at Xiao Qi and asked a question.

That smile was dazzling, full of aggression, much like an untamed wild beast that could bite off its prey's throat with a single bite.

What's the meaning?

She suspects Xue Ling?!

Xiao Qi is not stupid; in fact, he is quite clever.

He knew the answer almost as soon as she asked.

She came not initially to find him, but to find Xue Ling.

It was Xue Ling who led them to Country D.

"Ridiculous! Are you paranoid? Putting aside the fact that Xue Ling is so kind, why would she hire someone to kill you? She has no reason to kill you, does she?"

With his brows furrowed, Xiao Qi subconsciously spoke up for Cui Xueling.

“I can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep… You can live your whole life in the beautiful dream that Cui Xueling wove for you, Young Master Xiao.”

Lazily closing her eyes, Jing Li was too tired to pay attention to his self-deception anymore. She was too tired to talk to an idiot.

Xiao Qi pursed his thin lips, his mood becoming increasingly irritable.

Reason told him that he should trust Xue Ling.

But once the seed of doubt is planted, it will be difficult to get him to trust her wholeheartedly again.

Neither of them spoke again.

Jing Li was exhausted, and Xiao Qi was upset by her own overthinking, making the atmosphere increasingly gloomy.

Fortunately, the dullness didn't last long.

Not long after, Xiao Qi's surgeon friend arrived. He explained to the other party over the phone that it was a gunshot wound, so the other party had prepared a full range of tools. However, he never expected that the injured person would be such a young girl.

People who don't know Jingli would never think she's just an ordinary high school student when they first see her.

Because she possessed an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

What surprised the other party wasn't that Jing Li had been shot, but that Xiao Qi seemed to have a good relationship with this female demon. In the past, he would never have associated with this kind of person.

After anesthetizing Jing Li, removing the bullet, and bandaging the wound, it was already two hours later.
