“It’s Wei Qiao.” Rong Mo glanced at Shen Zhi Qiu and said, then answered the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"President Rong, Gu Ningning just fainted." Wei Qiao's voice was slightly flustered. He remembered that he had promised before leaving that no one would die.
"Where are we now?" Rong Mo asked in a deep voice.
“We’re still on the mountain, and Gu Ningning is walking slowly. She’s only gone 2 kilometers so far.” Wei Qiao glanced at the unconscious Gu Ningning and said, “I’ve already had the bodyguards put her in the car and turned on the heater to warm her up. The accompanying doctor said she should wake up soon.”
I'm calling to ask if, if she wakes up, I should bring her back or let her continue on her way.
"Is your life in danger? How did you fall unconscious?" Rong Mo asked after a moment of thought.
Just then, the doctor finished the examination, took off his gloves, and answered:
"She should be fine. However, because Gu Ningning has been pampered since childhood, her physical condition is not good. She gets out of breath after walking just a few steps, let alone in this freezing weather, which makes it even more difficult to walk. That's why she fainted."
"Hmm, has she repented?" Rong Mo asked.
"No." Gu Ningning walked and cried. At first, she kept cursing the young lady, but after walking for a while, she couldn't curse anymore and started to shed tears silently.
But it was too cold, and the tears that fell quickly froze, so Gu Ningning stopped crying and walked with her head down. She would only occasionally curse the young lady viciously.
After walking a while longer, Gu Ningning suddenly fainted in the snow.
"I understand." Rong Mo's reaction was very calm.
"Then, Mr. Rong, should we continue after she wakes up?" Wei Qiao asked hesitantly.
"Continue," Rong Mo said calmly. "Since there's no danger to her life, keep going, but make sure she has enough to eat and drink. She can continue on her way once she's well-fed."
"Yes, Mr. Rong." Wei Qiao accepted the order and walked to a large tree to smoke.
Inside the car, the doctor had already woken Gu Ningning up.
Gu Ningning slowly opened her eyes and saw the doctor and herself alone in the car. A plan came to her mind.
She raised her hand and saw the IV drip still in her arm. Her eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face like a broken string of pearls. Grabbing the doctor's hand, she pleaded pitifully, "Doctor, please, have mercy on me! Look at me, I'm just a helpless little girl. They're treating me like this to kill me!"
The doctor frowned. He roughly knew the situation, so he said calmly, "If they wanted you dead, they wouldn't have made me follow them in this freezing weather."
"Doctor, how much does the Rong family pay you a month? I'll give you double." Gu Ningning didn't care; she had finally grasped at a straw and desperately held back her tears as she spoke.
The doctor still didn't answer. Gu Ningning gritted her teeth and said in a low voice, "How about I give you ten times the amount?! As long as you find a way to let me go, I will definitely keep my word after I get down the mountain!"
"I'm sorry, the Rong family has been kind to me, and I will not do anything to betray them," the doctor said coldly, pushing Gu Ningning's hand away.
Seeing this, Gu Ningning seized the opportunity while the doctor was checking the IV drip, snatched the needle from her hand, and plunged it into the doctor's neck. However, because she had just fainted and was still weak, she missed the mark.
The doctor caught a glimpse of Gu Ningning's movements out of the corner of his eye. Just as he was about to move away, he saw Gu Ningning lose her balance and fall to the ground.
Hearing the commotion, the bodyguard guarding the door yanked open the car door, looked at the scene, and sternly demanded of Gu Ningning, "What's going on?"
"She pulled out the IV needle and tried to attack me, but she collapsed from exhaustion," the doctor summarized briefly.
"Serves him right!" Upon hearing the doctor's words, Wei Qiao, who had been walking along, instantly lost all her previous worry about Gu Ningning.
He stepped forward, glanced at Gu Ningning's pale face, and said with a sneer, "Miss Gu, go ahead and act like this. If the doctor gets injured, no one will care about you." As he spoke, he raised his hand to look at his watch, "You can rest for another hour. After an hour, you'll have to get down and continue walking."
"I've already fainted! Does Shen Zhi Qiu still not want to let me go?!" Gu Ningning was furious, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Help! Someone's trying to kill me! Help!"
"Go ahead and shout, no one will be here even if you shout until your throat is hoarse." Wei Qiao crossed her arms, leaned back against the car, and said in an icy tone, "I don't mind you making a fuss. Shout for as long as you want. It's fine if you shout until your throat is hoarse, then you won't be talking anymore on the way."
After saying that, Wei Qiao went to the side and started a fire, preparing to warm himself and cook something to eat.
"Brother Wei, there's bread or something in the car. Why don't you have something to eat?" the bodyguard said, opening the passenger door to give Wei Qiao some food.
"I don't eat bread. I brought my own pot and instant noodles. I want something hot to eat. It's more comfortable to eat something with soup in this weather," Wei Qiao said, taking everything out of the trunk and walking towards the roadside.
Before leaving, he peeked out and asked the doctor, "Why don't you have a bowl too?"
The doctor nodded. "Okay, I'd like something hot to eat too."
"Okay, then I'll cook three bowls. I'll call you when they're done."
The noodles were cooked in no time.
Wei Qiao came over with two bowls of noodles, giving one to the doctor and the other to the bodyguard guarding the door.
"What about mine?" Gu Ningning couldn't help but swallow when she saw Wei Qiao also holding a bowl and starting to eat.
"Eat this." Wei Qiao walked over and tossed a piece of bread to Gu Ningning. "Here you go."
"Why should you get to eat hot soup noodles while I get to eat cold bread?"
Gu Ningning angrily threw the bread at the opposite car door and shouted indignantly, "I want to eat hot soup noodles too!"
"Oh, then you can cook it yourself after you go down the mountain," Wei Qiao said casually, taking a sip of soup.
"I don't want to! I want to eat too!" Gu Ningning cried, feeling wronged.
But this time, even the doctor, who had previously felt some pity for her, ignored her.
"Alright. You'll be getting off in ten minutes. If you're not going to eat this bread, I'll take it. Don't regret it." Wei Qiao walked to the car door, opened it, picked up the bread Gu Ningning had just thrown away, and held it up to her, saying, "Do you want it or not?"
"Yes." Gu Ningning hesitated for a second, but still said immediately. If she didn't eat something to store up some energy, she wouldn't be able to make it down the mountain.
With a "smack," Wei Qiao tossed the car to her and closed the door.
