Chapter 914 The Next Target
"Maybe I can't see it from here, but I can go to the top of the mountain in Forest Park, set up an astronomical telescope, and watch it all night..."
Li Jinxing put his arm around Nie Yao's shoulders and comforted her with a low smile.
Nie Yao turned her head to look at him, and replied with a faint smile, "I'm afraid I won't have the leisure for this in the future... This time I came back, I originally planned to settle the Nie family's affairs within three days and then return to Egypt. But then I suddenly had this car accident and stayed in the hospital for several days..."
When Li Jinxing heard this, a dark light flashed in his eyes. He quietly hugged her tightly and whispered, "Yaoyao, don't worry. The car accident will be investigated thoroughly and the person behind it will be brought to justice!"
"Lin Anqi came to visit me today. I asked her to check with Nie Jinxi to see if she could find any evidence!"
Nie Yao said this and seriously suggested to Li Jinxing, "But I've thought about it. Apart from the difficulty walking with my right foot, my other injuries are not worth mentioning. I want to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow!"
Li Jinxing frowned slightly and said worriedly: "Yaoyao, the doctor said that he recommends that you stay for a few more days for observation!"
"I've done all the necessary tests, and you can see there's nothing wrong with me. Staying here any longer would be a waste of time!"
Nie Yao looked at Li Jinxing earnestly. Li Jinxing was silent for a moment, but finally took a step back and gently advised, "Then let's take a look at your ankle tomorrow. If the swelling goes down, then we can consider discharging you from the hospital."
Nie Yao then nodded and responded with a smile.
The two of them hugged each other on the balcony and looked at the night sky for a while. Li Jinxing was worried that the wind would be cold at night and Nie Yao would catch a cold, so he carried her straight back to the ward.
Li Jinxing helped Nie Yao wash up and was about to coax her to sleep when Nie Yao glanced at the time and said hesitantly, "I remember my dad told me during the day that Nie Xiao would arrive tonight. I wonder if he got home safely?"
Li Jinxing noticed something hidden in her words and asked thoughtfully, "Yaoyao, are you worried...that someone will also attack Nie Xiao?"
Nie Yao nodded and sighed softly, "Since they attacked me first, I'm afraid Nie Xiao will be their next target. After all, we are the two candidates to inherit the largest share of the Nie family fortune!"
"I think they don't dare to attack Nie Xiao right now, otherwise it would be too obvious!"
Li Jinxing curled his lips slightly and sneered, "Not to mention that this incident of yours has also aroused the suspicion of your Second Aunt. She may very well come to pick Nie Xiao up herself. Even if she isn't alert, she won't dare to act rashly if she finds out that the police are investigating the car accident!"
"So this afternoon, when you said Nie Jinxi also came to visit me, it was probably because you wanted to test the waters with me?" Nie Yao asked with a frown.
"It's very likely that she came here to firstly check on your injuries, and secondly, she probably wanted to test your opinion on the accident and the progress of the police investigation!"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly, a sneer on his lips: "It's a pity that Nie Jinxi's acting skills are not good enough. She had a quarrel with Yu Wanqing this afternoon, and it only revealed her confidence!"
"After all, she's just a college student who hasn't graduated yet. Unless she's truly as vicious and murderous as a snake, she'll eventually be exposed..."
Nie Yao said this, stroking his chin and muttering softly, "I think there's someone else behind this who dares to attack me directly!"
