Chapter 453 455 Waking Up
"You promised me that you would help me protect her. I haven't entered the secret realm yet. If something happens over there, you just watch from the side. If I enter the secret realm, can I still count on you?" Cui Lie looked at Zhao Bing dissatisfiedly and said.
"What happened? Don't worry, if she was really arrested, I would get her out. Isn't there anything wrong now?" Zhao Bing said in a kind voice.
"It's too late. Since you promised to protect her for me, you should come out and make your position clear now so that all parties can see that there is someone behind her." Cui Lie said with a serious face.
"Judging from your reaction, she was indeed the one who did what happened tonight, right? She did such a thing right after arriving in the capital. She is so arrogant. If she knew that she had Commander Zhu backing her up, wouldn't she be overwhelmed?" Zhao Bing looked at Cui Lie slowly and said tentatively.
"Don't talk nonsense without evidence. Which eye of yours saw that she did it?" Cui Lie said bluntly.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Cui Lie, your temper is getting worse and worse. If you weren't going to enter the secret realm early tomorrow morning, I would have to deal with you today. You look so nervous, do you have any thoughts about that Doctor Rong?" Zhao Bing looked at Cui Lie suspiciously.
"If you want to deal with me, you may not have the chance in the future. Also, I said that my life was saved by her. If you can't do what you promised me, I don't mind... being a deserter?" Cui Lie said threateningly.
"You..." Zhao Bing was about to start cursing when he heard someone outside the door shouting, "Report."
"Look, the latest news is here." Zhao Bing said to Cui Lie with a squint.
The soldiers brought news that the man suspected by Gong Hanyu was not the murderer, and those people had already withdrawn from Ning Qingyun's yard.
"What do you think? I told you she won't suffer any loss!" Zhao Bing said with his hands spread out as he watched Cui Lie finally calm down.
"However, we won't suffer any loss this time, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future, Cui Lie. If something happens to her, we can use our connections to save her, but openly protecting her under our wings is not an option!" Zhao Bing said, patting Cui Lie on the shoulder.
"Why not?" Cui Lie asked back.
"Your friend is good at using poison and can become invisible. If this ability is exposed, it will easily make people afraid of her. Moreover, she caused trouble as soon as she arrived in the capital. It seems that she is not a peaceful person. If we protect her, if she causes any trouble in the future, there is no guarantee that she will not be blamed on Commander Zhu by someone with ulterior motives. If she is involved in the factional struggles in the army, it will be very disadvantageous to us!" said Zhao Bing.
“Being invisible can’t avoid the detection of thermal imaging cameras. You big guys have many capable people around you. As for poisons, isn’t there any poison in the pharmaceutical research institute? Which big guy doesn’t have an expert who is good at using poison? Besides, Sister Rong wouldn’t cause trouble for no reason. If you don’t stand up now, don’t regret it later.” Cui Lie was about to enter the secret realm, and Zhu Tianliang equipped him with the latest communication means and top-level healing drugs.
In Cui Lie's opinion, the effects of these things are not much different from the sound transmission jade talismans and elixirs made by Rong Xianxian, but the cost of the two is very different. In the future, the elixirs refined by Rong Xianxian will definitely be very popular in the market in the capital. By then, there will be many forces willing to win over cooperation.
Zhao Bing disagreed with Cui Lie's words, and Cui Lie didn't say anything more. Although they were unwilling to support Rong Xianxian openly, since they had agreed, they could not just ignore it when something happened. This time, they should complete the mission in the secret realm early and come out as soon as possible, so that they would have the strength to protect her in the future, Cui Lie thought secretly.
At Ning Qingyun's residence, looking at Rong Xianxian whose breathing was shallow and steady, Ning Qingyun felt anxious. Xianxian had slept for three whole days, and now it was night again, but she still showed no sign of waking up.
"Dad, why hasn't Mom woken up yet?" Xuanxuan looked like she was about to cry.
"Xuanxuan, be good. Take your brother to sleep. When you wake up, mom will wake up too." Ning Qingyun hurriedly comforted them.
"Really?" Xuanxuan asked doubtfully.
"Really, Daddy won't lie to you." Ning Qingyun was almost driven crazy by these two little guys these past two days. Xiao Luo's fighting power was off the charts, and he would get angry at the slightest provocation. He had already had several fights with Huo Ye, Chai Ming and others in the past two days. Xuanxuan was very picky about food. When it came to eating, she wouldn't eat this or that. Sometimes she wanted French fries, sometimes meatballs, and sometimes tomato egg drop soup. Even the bird that Xuanxuan raised had to eat the barbecue seasoned by Xianxian.
Ning Qingyun wanted to cry but had no tears. Finally, she had no other choice but to send people to find Wang Lin and Xia Kai, who brought some reserve food so that she would not starve.
But speaking of it, that bird can eat the barbecue seasoned by Xianxian, but now he is even worse off than a bird. Especially when he smelled the aroma of the barbecue, Ning Qingyun looked at the bird with resentment.
"Dad, tell me a story." It was getting late and the two children were a little sleepy. Xuanxuan pulled Ning Qingyun and asked him to tell her a bedtime story.
This is the third day of sleeping with her. Ning Qingyun is well prepared this time and doesn't have to rack his brains for a long time like he did in the previous two days.
Finally, both children fell asleep, and Ning Qingyun felt that the whole world was quiet.
He always knew that taking care of children was hard, but he didn't know it was this hard. He had only taken care of the children for two days, and they were in a safe place, but he felt like he was on the verge of collapse the whole day. He really didn't know how Xianxian managed to get through this journey with two children.
Ning Qingyun sat in front of Rong Xianxian's bed, looking at her without blinking. Although Xianxian's facial features remained the same, she looked much more beautiful than before, with fairer and more translucent skin and a more free and confident temperament.
"Why are you looking at me here?" When Rong Xianxian opened her eyes, she saw Ning Qingyun staring at her motionlessly.
"I, I just want to see why you haven't woken up yet!" Ning Qingyun said nervously, although he didn't know why he was nervous.
"I slept all day?" Rong Xianxian asked with a frown, looking at the dark night outside.
"No, you've slept for three whole days." Ning Qingyun stretched out his hand and pointed with three fingers.
"Three days?" Rong Xianxian's tone rose a few notches in surprise.
"Yeah, uh, Xianxian, what happened that night..." You did it, right? Ning Qingyun asked tentatively.
"What? Do you regret giving false testimony for me?" Rong Xianxian interrupted Ning Qingyun before he could finish.
"No, no, I'm just worried about you. Um, are you looking for trouble with Gong Hanyu because you know about my past with her?" Ning Qingyun asked nervously. Apart from that, he really couldn't think of any connection between Xianxian and Gong Hanyu.
