"It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone," Leng Yue thought, "she'll probably spend her last beautiful moments in this hospital bed."
Only one day left, just one day, and the male lead is about to make his move! But damn it, she can't even get out of bed now, and she can't even run away.
Damn, the first mission is this awful. Just lying there waiting to die, that's just unbelievable!
There's still no news from Gu Yiyuan. We don't even know if she'll live long enough for Gu Yiyuan to call.
Unbeknownst to Leng Yue, Gu Yiyuan, whom she longed for, was currently reporting to Yu Ming what she wanted to know.
"How's the investigation going?" Yuming asked, holding a cigarette between his fingers but not smoking it.
"That boy's name is Leng Xing, and he's Leng Yue's younger brother. He was adopted by the family next to the orphanage when he was very young, and Leng Yue often secretly went to see him. The two siblings have a very deep bond!" Gu Yiyuan began to introduce them from the beginning.
Yuming simply nodded without replying.
Gu Yiyuan continued his report: "After Leng Xing took the college entrance exam, he went to Haicheng to work a summer job, but he never came back. Leng Yue searched everywhere and even reported it to the police, but there were no clues. Even the family that adopted Leng Xing disappeared. It's been five years since he disappeared!"
"Boss, time was too short, this is all I found out." Gu Yiyuan looked ashamed. He thought that it wouldn't be difficult to find out anything about Leng Yue, an ordinary person. He didn't expect that even after using all his connections and resources, he only found out this little bit of useless information.
"Haicheng is my uncle's territory. You can contact my uncle's assistant, Zhang Yue." Yuming said this and prepared to leave.
"Boss, why?" Gu Yiyuan knew that Yuming had always harbored malice towards Leng Yue, so why was he still so concerned? Wouldn't it have been easier to just brush it off?
"Don't ask questions you shouldn't ask." Yuming flicked away his cigarette butt, picked up his suit jacket from the back of the chair, and left without looking back.
He started the car and drove aimlessly around the road, his mind quite unsettled.
Gu Yiyuan asked him why. Yes, why? That woman had taken everything from him: his mother, his father, his family, and his life!
Then why? Why not retaliate? Why hesitate? What is he hesitating about?
Hadn't that woman hurt him enough? Did he intend to let her off the hook? No, he would make her pay! Blood for blood!
Lost in thought, Yuming arrived at the hospital again. He gripped the steering wheel tighter. Taking a deep breath, he finally opened the car door and got out.
Yuming sighed deeply, lingered at the entrance of the inpatient department for a while, and finally strode in.
Leng Yue was on the 15th floor. Yu Ming was in the elevator, lost in thought. He imagined the look of disgust he should have on his face when he saw Leng Yue, and what her expression would be...
Yuming thought about many things, but the thought of strangling Leng Yue was nowhere to be found! This thought seemed to be constantly interrupted by Leng Yue every time he saw her recently, until he slowly forgot about it.
"Cough cough, Aunt Zhang, save me, I'm going to die!" Leng Yue's voice was urgent and weak.
Without thinking twice, Yuming pushed open the door and rushed to Leng Yue's side. Finding that Leng Yue was choking, Yuming didn't care about anything else, picked her up, placed his hands below her chest, and pushed her upwards forcefully.
Leng Yue spat out a date that was stuck in her throat—yes, a big red date!
"Um, thank you~" Leng Yue's face turned bright red, perhaps from being held back by the red dates earlier.
"You can put me back now, my back, my back is so bad. Really!" Leng Yue's back hadn't recovered to begin with, and this ordeal made it even worse!
Yuming didn't say anything, but he obediently helped Leng Yue to the bed.
Leng Yue groaned softly in pain. If Yu Ming hadn't been there, she would have been screaming like a banshee! Damn, it hurts so much!
Yuming just saved her life, but he also aggravated her back injury! Tell me, what kind of mess is this? Who can she complain to?!
It all boils down to the jujubes. Look at these jujubes, so red and sweet! Pshaw, sweet my foot! She didn't even get a bite, and almost died from it! She's the epitome of "swallowing jujubes whole"!
Yuming saw that Leng Yue's forehead was covered in sweat, pursed his lips, and turned to leave.
Leng Yue secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Yu Ming leave. The idea of being saved by her enemy felt incredibly precarious.
With Yuming here, Leng Yue was terrified that he might change his mind and send her straight to the underworld. What would be the point of doing the mission then?
A short while later, Yuming returned, this time with a doctor and a nurse following behind him.
"Doctor, please take a look at her. How's her back?" Yuming spoke to the doctor, explaining the situation that had just occurred.
After hearing Yuming's words, the doctor and nurses were trying not to laugh. Leng Yue's face turned even redder; she was utterly mortified! How embarrassing!
The doctor examined her and ordered an X-ray. The final conclusion was that Leng Yue's back needed another week of rest before she could be discharged. What was initially a minor sprain had now become a traumatic injury!
Leng Yue buried her head in the pillow, pretending to be dead, but her heart was screaming: A week? A week and she'd be meeting the King of Hell! Of course, if she was lucky, she'd meet the system. But with her current bizarre and terrible luck, who knew who she'd meet first!
"You get some rest. I'll come see you again when I have time." After settling Leng Yue in, Yu Ming took the initiative to say goodbye to her.
"Believe it or not, I'll kill myself sooner or later," Leng Yue suddenly said.
Yuming stopped and stared at Leng Yue, but did not say anything.
"I'm telling the truth. I feel like I'm incredibly unlucky. Before, it was just bad luck, but recently it's started to feel like I'm going to die! Do you think I did something terrible in my past life that angered both heaven and man? I bet that's it, otherwise why would God punish me like this?" Leng Yue had her back to Yu Ming, so she couldn't see his face, which made her feel much more at ease. She poured out all the words that had been weighing on her heart.
"You probably think I'm crazy, right? I think I'm not normal either. Tell me, what normal person is like me?" Leng Yue switched hands to support her head, adjusted her posture, and continued, "My life is like a real-life version of Final Destination. I've come to realize that dying peacefully in my sleep is just a pipe dream for me."
“Sigh, everyone has their own destiny. I suddenly feel like accepting my fate…” Leng Yue said, then suddenly fell silent.
Yuming waited for a while, then went in and found that Leng Yue had already fallen asleep.
After hesitating for a moment, Yuming covered Leng Yue with a blanket and quietly left the ward.
No one knew what Leng Yue was dreaming about, but she was smacking her lips. Looking back, it seemed she was still drooling. Yu Ming twitched his fingers, closed the door, and left.

Yuming: That woman, she's not like a woman at all!
