Chapter 369 Unable to even get out of bed
When Lu Junyan tried to get out of bed, the doctors and nurses immediately stepped forward to stop him, but he pushed them away.
"Mr. Lu, you can't wander around now..."
"Mr. Lu, you haven't recovered yet."
Lu Junyan ignored the doctors' and nurses' advice.
He had just woken up and was not fully recovered. As soon as he got out of bed, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.
The doctors and nurses helped Lu Junyan up and then transferred him to a regular ward.
Lu Yexiong, Yang Liyun, and Xiao Zhang were all in the ward.
Lu Lifeng is not here.
Lu Junyan lay weakly on the hospital bed, his mind sometimes clear and sometimes confused.
“Junyan, do you know how worried your mother and I were about you? You practically got your life back.”
"Yes, Junyan, you can't do anything reckless anymore. You need to rest properly to recover your health."
The voices of Lu Yexiong and Yang Liyun lingered in Lu Junyan's ears, making him inexplicably anxious.
"Dad, Mom... Where's Jiang Ning? How is Jiang Ning?"
Lu Junyan heard from the doctor that he had been in a coma for a month. During such a long time, where was Jiang Ning and what was he doing?
In Lu Junyan's memory, Jiang Ning shouldn't have fallen into the Lingchuan River during that street race, and he probably wouldn't have been injured as badly as Lu Junyan.
Tell me, where is Jiangning?
Lu Yexiong watched as Lu Junyan weakly raised his hand, his eyes turning slightly cold.
"You need to rest now, so don't worry about other people's business."
"dad……"
"How did my son, Lu Yexiong's son, become love-struck? I told you to rest, so just rest."
After saying that, he turned and left, and Yang Liyun followed him.
Only Lu Junyan and Xiao Zhang remained in the ward.
Although Lu Junyan had regained consciousness, he was still very weak and pale, which was heartbreaking to see.
"Mr. Lu, why don't you get some sleep?"
"You still won't tell me how Jiangning is doing?"
Xiao Zhang was taken aback, clearly seeing the reproach in Lu Junyan's eyes.
"Don't forget who hired you."
"..."
Xiao Zhang opened his mouth, as if to say something, but then stopped, his eyes gradually dimming.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, even if you want to fire me, I can't say it..."
Lu Junyan's expression changed; no matter how weak he was, his eyes remained sharp.
"My dad ordered it?"
"no."
Xiao Zhang shook his head, his gaze toward Lu Junyan unusually firm.
"The timing is wrong."
"What?"
"What Mr. Lu needs to do now is to recover his health. Once he's fully recovered... we will tell Mr. Lu about Ms. Jiang..."
After Xiao Zhang finished speaking, he saw Lu Junyan raise his slightly trembling arm and point to the door of the ward.
"roll!"
Zhang pursed his lips, lowered his head, and left Lu Junyan's hospital room.
Lu Junyan lay on his back on the hospital bed, closing his eyes tightly.
His mind was in turmoil.
He didn't understand why no one else mentioned Jiang Ning.
Has something happened in Jiangning?
Lu Junyan couldn't wait any longer and fumbled for his phone on the bedside table.
"Hello, Bai Yichen?"
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line, and then Lu Junyan heard Bai Yichen say:
"You're awake?"
"Um……"
"What do you need me for?"
Where is Jiangning?
Lu Junyan asked a direct and to-the-point question.
Silence came again on the other end of the line.
This strange feeling gave Lu Junyan an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
"Tell me what's wrong with Jiangning? Why does everyone in Jiangning change the subject whenever I ask them?"
Lu Junyan grew increasingly angry when he couldn't get a reply from Bai Yichen.
"Bai Yichen!"
He yelled, and finally, Bai Yichen on the other end of the phone spoke:
"Can you be discharged from the hospital now?"
"..."
"You can't even get out of bed?"
"..."
This time, it was Lu Junyan's turn to remain silent.
"Call me again when you've fully recovered!"
Bai Yichen unilaterally hung up the phone, and Lu Junyan let his arms hang down helplessly.
Everyone told him to rest and recuperate.
No one would tell him how Jiang Ning was doing.
Picking up his phone again, Lu Junyan called Jiang Ning directly.
As expected, Jiang Ning's phone was unreachable.
Lu Junyan spent more than a week in the hospital before he finally recovered.
During this period, he received no news from Jiangning at all.
On the day he was discharged from the hospital, he contacted Bai Yichen.
"You told me to call you as soon as I recovered from my injury, and I'm fully recovered now."
Bai Yichen heard Lu Junyan's voice on the phone and felt that Lu Junyan was still very weak.
"Then have your driver take you to my office building!"
"good."
Lu Junyan forwarded the address Bai Yichen sent him to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang knew that was where Bai Yichen worked.
"Mr. Lu..."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Junyan's tone was decisive, leaving no room for argument.
Xiao Zhang sighed and had no choice but to take Lu Junyan to Bai Yichen's company building as requested.
Bai Yichen happened to come out from inside and came face to face with Lu Junyan.
"Go back!"
Lu Junyan gave this order to Xiao Zhang.
Xiao Zhang hesitated for a moment, but eventually drove away from Lu Junyan in his space gray Koenigsegg.
Judging by the time, Bai Yichen hadn't seen Lu Junyan for almost two months.
Two months is not a long time; it's not enough for someone to not recognize someone they know.
But seeing Lu Junyan right in front of him, Bai Yichen really couldn't recognize him.
Lu Junyan was extremely thin, clearly suffering from illness.
Even after being discharged from the hospital, her pale face remained haggard and bloodless.
Bai Yichen could tell that Lu Junyan's physical condition might be recovering from a serious illness and he was fine, but his mental state was not good, and the root of the problem was undoubtedly Jiang Ning.
Thinking of Jiang Ning, Bai Yichen clenched his fist.
Lu Junyan was staring at Bai Yichen.
He didn't understand why Bai Yichen's face showed such deep sorrow.
Where is Jiangning?
Not wanting to waste time here, Lu Junyan took the initiative to ask.
"...I'll take you to her."
Bai Yichen spoke these words calmly, and within those few words seemed to lie several heavy sighs.
Involuntarily, Lu Junyan's chest tightened.
He didn't understand what he was so nervous about.
Is it because he'll be able to see Jiang Ning soon if he follows Bai Yichen?
As Lu Junyan got into Bai Yichen's car, the sky began to darken.
Autumn has arrived, and the weather is turning cooler. If another autumn rain falls, the temperature will only drop even lower.
Lu Junyan sat in the passenger seat. Even though the windows were closed, he felt inexplicably cold, as if his fingertips were holding ice.
He kept looking out the window, remaining silent with Bai Yichen the whole way.
The white Lexus drove for less than an hour in the city before getting onto the elevated highway.
Lu Junyan was unfamiliar with this route.
He couldn't understand why Bai Yichen, who was clearly going to take him to see Jiang Ning, would choose this route.
As time ticked by, the scenery outside the car window gradually changed from bustling city streets to dilapidated and desolate suburbs.
