Chapter 328 Being Followed
Bai Yichen opened his mouth, but had no answer.
At this moment, he heard Lu Junyan continue:
"Don't worry, I won't bother Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan, because I'm here... waiting for a man."
As soon as the last few words were uttered, Lu Junyan saw Bai Yichen and immediately choked on his own saliva.
"Whatever you want!"
After Bai Yichen drove away, Lu Junyan finally met the man he had been waiting for.
To be more precise, it's the men.
Jiang Ning and Gu Lanlan chatted all night in the hospital room, just like when they stayed up all night in their high school dormitory, getting more and more excited as they talked.
Sometimes Jiang Ning would think that if Gu Jinci hadn't appeared, there wouldn't have been the slightest estrangement between her and Gu Lanlan.
The two of them also talked about Gu Jinci, mentioning Gu Jinci's pretentious behavior at the amusement park when the four of them went on a date.
Jiang Ning now knows that Gu Lanlan had long misunderstood her as seducing Gu Jinci.
Because Gu Jinci was guiding things in that direction.
Therefore, Gu Lanlan did not ask her beforehand because she already harbored resentment towards her.
Gu Lanlan finally understood that Jiang Ning had never made any advances toward Gu Jinci.
It was all written, directed, and acted by Gu Jinci.
Although this first love caused her great pain, it also taught her a valuable lesson.
"Actually... it's partly my fault... as your best friend, I didn't do a good job of helping you choose the right people."
Jiang Ning is truly blaming himself.
She knew perfectly well that Gu Lanlan had no dating experience, but she never thought to remind Gu Lanlan to discern a man's sweet talk.
"Don't take all the responsibility upon yourself..."
Gu Lanlan flicked Jiang Ning's forehead with the hand that wasn't being used for the injection.
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Jiang Ning cried out in pain, looking utterly aggrieved.
Gu Lanlan grinned.
"I was completely delusional about being in love at the time. Even if you had reminded me, I wouldn't have listened. I would have blamed you for being nosy..."
As she spoke, Gu Lanlan sighed.
People really don't think clearly when they're in love.
"By the way, that fake Gu Jinci... the police still haven't caught him?"
Gu Lanlan asked, frowning.
She once wanted to find Gu Jinci and ask him for an explanation.
But later she came to terms with it and accepted it.
She was deceived and taken advantage of.
If she actually found Gu Jinci, the first thing she would do was to give him a few punches to vent her anger.
"Lanlan, actually, when you were getting soaked in the downpour, I went to your house to look for you..."
"Huh?"
"Lu Junyan has found some information about Gu Jinci... Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes, I want to hear it."
Gu Lanlan nodded, her expression resolute.
So Jiang Ning told Gu Lanlan everything that Lu Junyan had found out.
Gu Lanlan was speechless.
joker……
Gangs...
Assassin...
"So it sounds like he's actually targeting you, right? You two have a personal grudge?"
Lu Junyan had asked Gu Lanlan the same question before.
However, Jiang Ning really had no clue whatsoever.
In the dead of night, after Gu Lanlan fell asleep, Jiang Ning left the ward and stood in the corridor making a phone call.
The call was to Zhong Cheng.
"What's wrong, Chu?"
"cough……"
Jiang Ning cleared his throat, and Zhong Cheng's wry smile immediately came through the receiver.
"What's wrong, Jiang Ning?"
"Are you free? I have something I want to ask you..."
"Ask me when you have time!"
"Does the Dragon Fang Gang of Country M... have any past grudges with the Lin family?"
A brief silence fell over the receiver. Jiang Ning held the phone, feeling somewhat nervous.
"...There shouldn't be any."
Zhong Cheng's answer to Jiang Ning was uncertain, but it was the most truthful answer in his opinion.
"Based on my many years of experience in the Lin family... there was no such connection. However, whether the old man had any dealings with such gangs behind the scenes, I have no idea."
"Okay, thank you, Zhong Cheng."
"I wasn't much help to you... Oh, by the way, did you know about the old man's hospitalization?"
Hospitalization?
Jiang Ning was stunned.
"Why is he in the hospital?"
Jiang Ning used "he" instead of "grandfather".
Zhong Cheng on the other end of the phone sighed silently.
He knew that Jiang Ning still hated Lin Jingcheng to this day.
"The old man was hospitalized because he was angered by your ex-husband."
"Lu Junyan?"
Jiang Ning was taken aback.
"However, he didn't know that the old man had a heart condition, so it's understandable that he didn't know... He accompanied him to the hospital that day, and the old man's condition stabilized quickly, but the doctor advised him to recuperate in the hospital for a while... The minister should have called you before."
Zhong Cheng's words reminded Jiang Ning that Lin Yueheng had called her a few times before, but probably stopped trying when she didn't answer.
"So that's how it is..."
Jiang Ning muttered to himself.
At that time, she thought that Lu Junyan had been detained by Lin Jingcheng on Linyan Mountain!
Seeing that Jiang Ning didn't offer much of an opinion on the matter, Zhong Cheng continued:
Aren't you curious?
"What are you curious about?"
"What exactly did your ex-husband say that day that made the old man so angry that he was hospitalized?"
"...Not interested."
Jiang Ning's reaction was lukewarm.
She still remembered that it was Lin Jingcheng's 70th birthday. He had traveled a long way to invite Lu Junyan to his private residence, which was definitely to matchmake Lu Junyan and Lin Wanrong.
Jiang Ning could roughly guess that Lu Junyan's anger towards Lin Jingcheng was mostly related to her.
Otherwise, Zhong Cheng wouldn't be so mysterious and keeping everyone in suspense.
It's because it's related to her.
She didn't want to hear it even more.
Jiang Ning didn't want to talk too much about matters of the heart, nor did she want to care about Lin Jingcheng's illness.
Since he hadn't been able to get any clues about the connection between the Lin family and the Dragon Fang Gang, Jiang Ning quickly ended his call with Zhong Cheng.
She returned to Gu Lanlan's ward and unknowingly fell asleep on the cot.
The next day, she sensed something was wrong.
Ever since Jiang Ning was discharged from the hospital, he had a feeling that he was being watched by someone.
Or rather, they were being monitored.
Moreover, there were some new faces at the hospital.
With patients coming and going at the hospital every day, it's normal to see new faces.
But Jiang Ning's intuition told him that those people weren't there for medical treatment at all.
Jiang Ning accompanied Gu Lanlan as they walked out of the hospital.
She didn't drive her own car when she arrived, so the two of them are now standing at the hospital entrance waiting for Bai Yichen to drive up.
Even in this open space, Jiang Ning still felt like he was being followed and monitored.
The white Lexus slowly came into view, and Jiang Ning let Gu Lanlan get in the car first.
"Bai Yichen, you take Lanlan home, I have something to do..."
Seeing Jiang Ning's serious expression, Bai Yichen had a bad feeling.
"What's wrong?"
He knew Jiang Ning didn't want to talk about it, but he couldn't just ignore it.
Jiang Ning paused for a moment, then forced a bitter smile.
"secret."
Bai Yichen realized that no matter how much he asked Jiang Ning, she wouldn't tell him.
And so, Bai Yichen drove Gu Lanlan away.
Jiang Ning walked out of the hospital alone, not taking a taxi, but walking into the crowd.
The person who stalked and monitored her—
It's still there.
