(Oh no! I just realized I've only updated three chapters. I don't even know if the fourth chapter will be out before midnight. Don't wait, everyone, check back tomorrow.)
I was incredibly annoyed.
I stared at Chen Yefei. This guy's ambitions are way too high! And judging from his expression, I knew he was serious!
"This..." For a moment, I didn't know how to answer him.
Seeing my hesitation, Chen Yefei said, "Dr. Lu, don't rush. I'm not asking you to agree to this right now. You can think about it slowly, and we can discuss it later. Anyway, you've seen the situation here, and I can tell you're a good person, so I don't want to hide anything from you. I sincerely want to cooperate with you."
Chen Yefei looked so sincere that I felt embarrassed to refuse him.
However, such an important matter cannot be decided by me alone; I must discuss it with Fei Lichao and Sister Jing.
Although we don't have many people now, Zhang Zhihao has an entire Jiangbei residential area.
The Jiangbei community has more than 100 members, which is quite a large team, possibly the largest team in Jiajiang.
Moreover, there are many problems in Jiangbei Community. Although Chen Yefei's ideal is wonderful, it is basically impossible to realize it when faced with such a large community.
I didn't refuse Chen Yefei, but said, "How about this, I'll go back and discuss this matter, and I'll give you an answer then, okay?"
Chen Yefei smiled and said, "Sure, no problem. We have plenty of time, but it would be best to decide within half a month. That way, it will be easier for both of us to start cooperating."
I nodded, smiling, but I couldn't smile inside.
Cooperation is never that simple.
This matter can only be discussed further; it's possible that Fei Lichao and Sister Jing might have different opinions.
And Du Xu should be here in about half a month.
I'll discuss it with Du Xu when he arrives in Jiajiang from Wutong City.
In short, this matter cannot be rushed.
Chen Yefei didn't bring up the topic again and started talking about other things.
As the sun was setting, Li Jiaxin came to the rooftop and found us.
When Chen Yefei saw her, he smiled and said, "Jiaxin, you've come at the right time. Go get us some food and a bottle of beer. Dr. Lu and I will have dinner here."
Li Jiaxin looked troubled and said, "I came up here to inform Dr. Lu that the injured person has woken up."
I paused for a moment, then asked, "Sister Jing is awake?"
Li Jiaxin nodded.
“Let’s go down and take a look,” I said.
After coming down from the rooftop, everyone was in the room where Sister Jing was resting.
When I arrived, they made way for me.
At that moment, Sister Jing was lying on her side on the bed. After I arrived, Sister Jing looked at me and asked, "Xiaonan, am I alright?"
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here, everything will be fine."
Because of excessive blood loss, Sister Jing was weak and listless. After saying a few words, she fell asleep again.
I checked the IV drip and it had long since stopped, so I didn't continue giving her one. I just let her rest; I figured Sister Jing must be exhausted after a long day.
I don't know what she went through to cause such heartbreak.
Once Sister Jing's injuries have healed a bit by tomorrow, we'll be heading home. After all, the purpose of this trip was to find Sister Jing's sister, and now that we've found her, it's a happy ending for everyone, even though quite a few people died.
...
After dinner, I asked Zhang Zhihao to keep an eye on Sister Jing, and then I called Lu Yun out.
We went up to the rooftop and called her out, just to ask her some questions and tell her some things.
When Lu Yun arrived on the rooftop, she seemed a little reserved. After all, she and I were just strangers, and our only connection was Sister Jing.
Looking at Lu Yun's face, which bore a striking resemblance to Sister Jing, I asked, "Can you tell me how your sister found you?"
Lu Yun looked at me suspiciously, "You called me up here just to ask this?"
I shook my head and said, "It's not just this, there are many other things I want to ask you."
"Oh," Lu Yun said, and then recounted the circumstances of her previous encounter with Sister Jing. She spoke vaguely, but I listened to everything and roughly understood what had happened.
After listening, I suddenly realized, "No wonder Sister Jing has such a big wound on her butt, it turns out there was a piece of glass stuck in it. What about what happened before? Did Sister Jing tell you?"
Lu Yun shook her head. "No, after my sister and I escaped, we wanted to run away, and then we met you. You know what happened next. My sister fainted, and she didn't tell me anything."
I nodded. Something probably happened to Sister Jing at the supermarket. I'll ask her about it later.
I looked at Lu Yun, whose eyes were a little evasive, and said, "Since your sister hasn't told you anything, I'll tell you first so you can be prepared."
"What's wrong?" Lu Yun asked, puzzled.
I said, "It's about your sister's family."
Lu Yun's expression changed.
Then I told Jingjie about her husband and daughter, and she cried.
I stood to the side, suddenly feeling like I'd been a bit of a jerk. I should have known better than to tell her about it. Now that she's crying like this, what am I going to do?
Lu Yun cried for about ten minutes before saying, "Is there anything else you need to tell me?"
