Chapter 195 I'm already your man, but you still won't trust me a little more?
"Are you the person in the abandoned factory?" Ji Ying asked.
“You’re lucky,” the man said.
That's him.
Why do this?
The man chuckled softly, "I know, it's just death. Want to hear the answer?"
Ji Ying pursed her lips. "Even if I don't listen, you won't let me go."
"Intelligent women are rare indeed."
The man pressed closer, and Ji Ying smelled a very faint sandalwood scent on him, which would be completely undetectable to someone with a less sensitive sense of smell.
He whispered in her ear, "She was born into the wrong family and has to be reincarnated. But you're not so lucky either. I only have one dose of poison, and I have to use it on her, so it's for you..."
Just as the man put the syringe aside and reached for the dagger hidden on his outside thigh, his movements suddenly froze, as if he had suddenly realized something, and he subconsciously tried to tighten his grip on Ji Ying's arm.
But it was too late.
"Bang!"
The door was flung open by a swift figure, and almost simultaneously, the figure rushed towards him like an arrow without the slightest pause!
In a flash, the man had no choice but to kick Ji Ying away and hurriedly avoid her.
Jiang Ran missed her target, immediately shielding Ji Ying behind her. She looked at the man dressed as a nurse, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you a eunuch or a transvestite?"
Enraged by her, the man roared, "I'm your grandfather!"
"Oh, it's Grandpa! He's been buried for ages, why are you crawling out to scare people? Go back to hell!"
Jiang Ran rushed forward and engaged him in combat.
On the other side, Ji Ying, enduring the pain in her waist from being kicked, staggered to her feet and immediately rushed to the bedside, using her body to shield Xiao Xia, who was still unconscious.
Seeing that he couldn't succeed quickly, the man smashed the window and jumped out!
Without hesitation, Jiang Ran flew after them, and the two figures disappeared into the thick darkness outside the window one after the other.
At this point, the hospital security guards arrived.
The doctor came out from behind them. "Are you alright? We've already called the police."
After all, it's only natural for ordinary people to protect themselves when faced with desperate criminals.
After hearing this, Ji Ying simply said to the doctor, "Please examine her."
She secretly kept the syringe.
Xiao Xia was unaffected, and Jiang Ran did not linger in the fight, immediately turning back after the opponent escaped.
"Are you alright?" Jiang Ran looked her up and down while holding her phone.
It looks like he's reporting to Liang Yizhi.
Ji Ying shook her head.
"The other party is quite skilled; he managed to escape again," Jiang Ran said.
"Are you sure he and Zhang Nan aren't on the same wavelength?" Ji Ying asked.
Jiang Ran thought about it seriously, "From my perspective, even if a maverick assassin like this shares the same master as Zhang Nan, the two of them might not even know of each other's existence."
Ji Ying sensed something was amiss, nodded, and turned to leave.
"Where are you going? I'll give you a ride."
Ji Ying stopped and looked at her. "Are you sending me to hell too?"
Jiang Ran paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Good people can't get into that place."
Ji Ying couldn't help but smile very faintly. "Thank you for earlier. I'm going to the company now."
After saying that, he continued to leave.
The CEO's office at QingSui Power was brightly lit.
Upon seeing Ji Ying, Xiao Chang got up and walked over.
“A former colleague called me, and I was already halfway there when you told me to come back and wait here. What’s going on?”
Ji Ying handed him a syringe. "Someone disguised themselves as a nurse and tried to kill her, but Xiaxia is fine. However, if the other party's disguise had been more professional, they would have succeeded."
Xiao Chang took the syringe, his brows furrowed.
“That person said…” Ji Ying hesitated for a moment, “Xiao Xiasheng has made a mistake in choosing a partner, and he wants her dead.”
“She’s my own sister, our whole family loves her, why should she die?” Xiao Chang blurted out.
Ji Ying's eyes darkened slightly. "Perhaps the other party has made a mistake."
"A mistake?" Xiao Chang found it unbelievable.
Ji Ying didn't explain much, "Do you have any connections to test what kind of poison is in this? I want to know its composition ratio and then find out where it came from."
Xiao Chang immediately put away the syringe. "That's easy. Leave the investigation to me as well."
Ji Ying neither said yes nor no, but asked, "How's Uncle Xiao's contact with the lab in Beijing going?"
Xiao Chang's expression turned serious. "They didn't explicitly refuse, but they set many harsh conditions. The most crucial one is that she must pass their comprehensive examination. Only if Xiao Xia's physical condition meets their standards will they agree to perform a heart transplant for her."
Ji Ying was silent for a moment, then said, "No matter how demanding they are, we will cooperate. We will do as they ask, so as not to give them any ammunition, and figure out their true intentions."
Xiao Chang nodded, "They keep saying they'll send someone to examine Xiao Xia, but they keep delaying."
Ji Ying looked at him, but didn't say anything for a long time.
"Is there anything else?" Xiao Chang asked.
"If you want to investigate the source of the poison, could you please do so without going through Gu Yanchen?"
Xiao Chang paused for two seconds, then nodded. "Okay."
Leaving Qing Sui Power, Ji Ying's mood grew increasingly heavy.
Back at the Liang residence, Liang Jian was sitting in the living room waiting for her.
Xie Lingfang was also there.
"Why are you back so late?" Liang Jian greeted him, but his brows were furrowed.
"Overtime," Ji Ying replied briefly.
"In the future, let me know in advance if you need to work overtime."
Liang Jian's tone was firm, with a commanding air.
A sudden surge of irritation welled up in Ji Ying's heart.
However, he took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and replied calmly, "I understand."
Xie Lingfang chimed in coolly, "I know why Gu Yanchen didn't want you anymore. It's already 11 p.m. and you're still not home. What wealthy man could tolerate your behavior? Women, in the end, still have to prioritize men."
Ji Ying glanced back at her indifferently, a slight smile playing on her lips. "So, all these years, has Madam Liang fulfilled her role as an appendage?"
"you……"
Xie Lingfang was speechless, her face turning pale.
"I'm very tired, I'm going to rest now."
Ji Ying stopped looking at them and continued upstairs, leaving behind an unhappy Liang Jian and a livid Xie Lingfang.
"Son, wouldn't it be better to find a gentle and virtuous woman who would kneel down to change your shoes as soon as you get home? Why do you like this kind of woman?"
Upon hearing her words, Liang Jian's displeasure vanished.
"I can buy this kind of service with money, so what's the point?"
After saying that, he went to the kitchen.
Ji Ying closed the door and then supported her back, which had been aching all night.
That kick was quite severe.
She closed her eyes, leaned against the door, and took a couple of breaths. A refreshing scent enveloped her.
Liang Yizhi wrapped his arms around her waist, his deep voice close to her ear, "Didn't you say you were fine?"
Ji Ying leaned against him, saying, "I don't want to trouble others."
He chuckled softly, his warm palm slipping under her clothes and caressing her lower back.
"Then you can trouble me as much as you want... Is this the place?"
His fingertips pressed lightly on one spot.
"A little to the left," Ji Ying said.
"here?"
Ji Ying nodded.
Liang Yizhi gently rubbed his hands and then slowly asked, "Have you had dinner?"
Ji Ying nodded.
Why are you unhappy?
Ji Ying bit her lip. "Xiao Xia became like this because of me. I'm the one who should be lying in the hospital."
As she finished speaking, her eyes reddened.
Liang Yizhi rubbed his chin against her forehead.
“Everyone has their own destiny, and besides, she didn’t give up on herself, and you didn’t give up on her either.”
"But……"
Ji Ying recalled Gu Yanchen's words, looked up at him, and her gaze was scrutinizing.
“You clearly know which laboratory in Beijing can perform cell culture, yet you say nothing.”
Liang Yizhi smiled faintly, "Is it possible that I can get things done more easily without you asking?"
Ji Ying was taken aback, and immediately understood the deeper meaning behind his silence.
"What about Jiang Ran? She was clearly present when the assassin appeared, so why didn't she save Xiao Xia immediately? Is she just a robot that follows your orders?"
Liang Yizhi's voice remained calm, without the slightest impatience, "You were downstairs at the time, and she was downstairs too. How did she know what happened upstairs?"
The last bit of doubt in Ji Ying's heart finally dissipated.
He gently pressed his fingertips against her slightly furrowed brow and whispered, "I'm already your man, so why won't you trust me a little more?"
These possessive words made Ji Ying's ears burn.
Just then, there was a knock on the door behind me.
Liang Jian's gentle voice came from outside the door, "Yingying, open the door. I know you're not asleep yet."
