The sky outside the window was dark and rain was pouring.
The girl on the bed was sweating profusely. One of her hands was held tightly in the man's hand. He kept wiping the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief. Suddenly, the girl opened her eyes, sat up abruptly, and gasped.
The dream still depicted scenes from her past life, but after her death, Fu Linxiao, seeking revenge for her, had wiped out the Dong family, only to be killed in an explosion. Flames flew everywhere, and Jiang Luoning vaguely saw the masked man, leaning on a cane, with a ring on his right middle finger. He gave her a terrifying, eerie sneer. Even amidst the flames, she felt a biting cold.
When she saw the person beside the bed, she realized that it was just a dream, a dream that was so real that it was scary.
"Are you dreaming? Don't be afraid, baby, I'm here!"
Fu Linxiao's hoarse and slightly tired voice came, and his big hand gently stroked his back.
Jiang Luoning came back to his senses and raised his uninjured left hand to hug the man's neck, as if only in this way could he feel his true existence. A trembling and dry voice came out of his throat: "We are still alive, it's great. Fu Linxiao, you are still alive, it's great!"
Fu Linxiao hugged the girl back, raised one hand to stroke the back of her head, and tried his best to comfort the emotionally unstable little girl: "It's all a dream, we are all fine, it's not real! Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!"
Jiang Luoning didn't say anything, just snuggled in the man's arms and felt the warmth emanating from his body.
After a long while, seeing that the person in his arms gradually calmed down and stopped trembling, he slowly said, "Eat something, your eldest brother will be here soon."
The girl raised her eyes and looked at the man.
"How long have I slept?"
Fu Linxiao brushed away the hair stuck to the girl's face and replied softly, "I've been sleeping all day and it's 3 a.m. now. The flight was canceled due to heavy rain. Your brother made an emergency landing in Lincheng and is driving here now. Zifan brought people to pick him up."
Jiang Luoning looked out the window. It was raining heavily and the windows were rattling in the strong wind.
"My third brother's concert?"
Listening to the little girl's question, Fu Linxiao patiently answered: "It was postponed because of the rain, so we didn't tell him about your assassination attempt! But you probably won't be able to catch up with him in your current situation."
Jiang Luoning felt relieved when he heard that his third brother didn't know about it, but he also felt it was a pity that his wish to perform on the same stage with his third brother was ruined.
Fu Linxiao, who saw through her thoughts, comforted her: "There will be opportunities in the future, be good and be happy!"
At this time, Ah Xing came in with a bowl of porridge. Fu Linxiao saw the man helping Jiang Luoning lie down, so he took the bowl of porridge and moved to the side to make it easier for Ah Xing to check the girl's injuries.
The gauze was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the glaring wound before everyone. Fu Linxiao subconsciously clenched his fists, wishing he could tear the killers into pieces. He reapplied medicine and bandaged the wound, moving smoothly. After treating the wound again, Ah Xing instructed, "I used the latest special medicine. As long as you pay attention to your diet, there will be no scars. Don't worry."
Ah Xing helped Jiang Luoning sit down, then turned to Fu Linxiao and said, "Brother-in-law, please take care of Sister Ning first. Something happened over in An Ye and I have to go deal with it." After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Luoning and said, "Sister Ning, I'll text you if there's anything. Take care of your injuries!"
Jiang Luoning naturally knew what Ah Xing was thinking. He wanted to avenge himself, so he shouted in a deep voice, "Where are you going?"
"Country F, Brother Shan is waiting for me there!" Ah Xing did not reveal Heishan's identity and replied tactfully.
"Wait a minute, there's no rush. I'm fine now, and there's plenty of time later." Jiang Luoning still stopped Axing's actions.
Ah Xing looked at Jiang Luoning with a puzzled expression, wanting to continue arguing, but Fu Linxiao spoke up, "Ah Xing, I know you want to avenge Ning'er, but this matter involves so many people. Even if you kill one Mantis, there are still many organizations working for them. The important thing now is to follow the Mantis clue and catch the person behind the scenes, so that Ning'er can be completely safe."
After hearing what Fu Linxiao said, Ah Xing suddenly realized that he was too anxious. Seeing Jiang Luoning injured, he only thought about retaliating, ignoring that the mantis was just a knife in the man's hand. If this knife was gone, he could just get another one. He bowed his head and admitted his mistake in a deep voice: "Sister Ning, brother-in-law, I'm sorry I was reckless."
Jiang Luoning was relieved when he saw that Ah Xing had listened to his advice and gave up the idea.
Looking at the food in Fu Linxiao's hand, he smiled and said slowly: "I'm hungry! I want to eat the noodles made by Ah Xing!"
Hearing Jiang Luoning's request, Ah Xing quickly nodded in agreement and said, "I'll go right away. Have a couple of mouthfuls of rice porridge to moisten your throat first!"
After watching Ah Xing come out of the room, he did not mention leaving again. Fu Linxiao curled his lips and smiled, then slowly sat down, looking at Jiang Luoning lovingly, and slowly fed her porridge spoon by spoon.
