Han Xiangdong knew his sister didn't want to talk about it, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just tucked her in and turned up the air conditioner temperature by two degrees: "It's getting late, go to sleep. I'll stay here with you."
Le Yao nodded and then closed her eyes. In fact, what she said to Nangong Jue was inspired by the detective novels she had read before, and she hoped that it would be of some use.
Nangong Jue stopped Shen Yi, who was about to go upstairs, at the hospital entrance: "I need to talk to you." Then he walked straight to the roadside.
"My lord." Shen Yi followed, but his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Thank you for what happened this time." Nangong Jue had actually seen the surveillance footage. If he hadn't handled it properly, the entire car would have been crushed into a pancake by the truck. But given his skills, if he had ignored Le Yao and jumped out of the car herself, she would have had a chance of survival.
“Protecting Miss Han is my duty,” Shen Yi smiled. “I was paid by Miss Qiao.”
“Yes.” Nangong Jue nodded. “But one person isn’t enough. I need to send two more people with her…”
Chen Yi frowned.
"I'm asking you to handle this matter. Don't worry, my people won't get in your way, and I'll even pay you an extra salary..."
Shen Yi paused for a moment, then said, "My lord, if I may be so bold, didn't you say you wanted to divorce her? Then..."
"Even if we're divorced, she's still my wife. I want her to be well. Besides, we're not divorced yet."
“I understand.” Shen Yi nodded. “But why don’t you talk to her yourself? Perhaps…”
"If I could tell, I wouldn't need to come to you." Nangong Jue's expression darkened slightly.
"I agree." Shen Yi smiled. It was the first time he realized that even the famous Duke had things he couldn't handle. Moreover, he had originally wanted to ask Qiao Qiao for a few people, because he sometimes couldn't manage on his own. Now that the Duke could send people over, that was the best. "But I'll leave the salary aside, since it will lighten my burden."
Nangong Jue didn't dwell on it and simply raised his hand in a gesture.
A man and a woman who had been standing in the distance walked over and said, "My lord."
"From now on, follow his instructions and protect the young mistress. If anything happens to the young mistress, none of you will survive."
"Yes." The two men stood at attention, then looked at Shen Yi and introduced themselves.
Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly. Although they hadn't fought, he knew at a glance that these two were no less skilled than himself, and that the woman named Tao Qing was probably even better. Moreover, although their actions were very covert, they still exuded the air of soldiers.
In short, these two are not simple people.
And Nangong Jue, who can command these two, is probably even more extraordinary.
Le Yao slept soundly until dawn, feeling much better; the dizziness, nausea, and vomiting were now very mild.
"She's awake." Liu Sujuan rushed over as soon as she saw Le Yao open her eyes. "How are you feeling?"
"I feel much better now, I don't feel nauseous or want to vomit anymore."
"That's good. Now I can finally relax."
"I'm sorry, Mom, I made you worry."
"Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Liu Sujuan took out the breakfast she had brought. "It's those who harmed people who are despicable... Alright, eat something first. I made your favorite dumpling soup..."
They had just finished breakfast when Shen Yi led Tao Qing and Yuan Bin in.
