Xiao Fang and Xiao Zhao stood like two guardian deities, so Lan Jun could only stop and watch helplessly as Su Ruyi and Xiao Sun went inside.
As soon as the door closed, Cheng Weiguo, who had been lying on the bed pretending to be unconscious, sat up and started winking at Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi looked in the direction he pointed and saw a steaming breakfast: porridge, pickled cabbage in sesame oil, and steamed buns with an unknown filling.
With Cheng Weiguo's silent signal, Su Ruyi realized that this breakfast was specially prepared for her.
So she sat down and started eating.
I took a bite of the bun, and it turned out to be filled with meat!
As Su Ruyi was eating, the sound of Lan Jun and Shen Guoliang arguing drifted in.
Lan Jun: "I know General Shen is resentful that I truthfully reported Comrade Zhang Xiaozhen's suspicious behavior! But I have a clear conscience! General Shen, shouldn't you reflect on why such things never come out of the question for other leaders?!"
"Bullshit!" Shen Guoliang was instantly furious, but he quickly suppressed his emotions. "Lan Jun, Chief Cheng is so ill right now, and you're making such a racket outside his room. What are you up to?"
Lan Jun lowered his voice slightly: "I'm just stating the facts. I hope General Shen can be more magnanimous and stop holding a grudge against me!"
Shen Guoliang flew into a rage again: "What nonsense are you spouting? When did I start targeting you?"
Lan Jun said coldly, "You're targeting me right now!"
Shen Guoliang was so angry that his teeth were grinding: "I told you not to shout, and it was directed at you? Look at all these people, is there anyone as disorganized and undisciplined as you? You get out of here right now!"
"Reporting to General Shen!" Lan Jun snapped to attention and saluted. "I can't leave! Chief Cheng ordered me to protect Doctor Su closely, and since you won't let me in, I can only wait at the door!"
...
Amidst their back-and-forth arguing, Su Ruyi finished two large meat buns, a bowl of congee, and a dish of pickled vegetables. She covered her mouth and let out a silent burp, feeling embarrassed.
After letting her digest the information for a few minutes, Cheng Weiguo lay back down on the bed as planned.
After Su Ruyi waited for him to lie down, she pretended to start packing the first-aid kit.
Xiao Sun then opened the door.
Lan Jun was the first to rush in.
Seeing Cheng Weiguo lying there motionless with his eyes closed, a strange look flashed across her face: "Commander... what happened?!"
“The commander has suddenly encountered some health problems. I have given him a calming injection so he can rest. Let’s all go out!” Su Ruyi said, and went to pull Lan Jun away.
Unexpectedly, Lan Jun dodged the question: "How long does the commander need to rest? Didn't he faint? Did he just wake up, or is he still unconscious?"
After Lan Jun finished asking this long string of questions, she didn't hear Su Ruyi's reply. She looked away from Cheng Weiguo's face and saw Su Ruyi staring at her coldly.
The others stared at her incredulously.
Lan Jun then realized his lapse in composure and quickly explained, "Commander Cheng has been very kind to me. I was worried about him being sick... Dr. Su, please don't mind!"
Su Ruyi hummed in agreement, then turned and left.
Xiao Sun gestured for Lan Jun to leave, and Lan Jun had no choice but to sheepishly follow Su Ruyi away under everyone's watchful eyes.
"I'll stay here for a while, Chief Cheng. Xiao Sun, go to the canteen and get me some breakfast!" After everyone dispersed, Shen Guoliang sat casually on the edge of Cheng Weiguo's bed and instructed Xiao Sun.
After Xiao Sun left, Shen Guoliang locked the door: "Alright, stop pretending!"
Cheng Weiguo stood up, a hint of worry on his face: "It seems that the people behind Lan Jun are getting impatient! Lan Jun is also on the verge of collapse!"
"Won't Dr. Su be in danger?!" Shen Guoliang jumped to his feet. "Sir, how many people did you send to protect her?"
“I didn’t send anyone to protect her,” Cheng Weiguo said. “That girl is clever and has some extraordinary methods. I believe she will be safe. Let’s just wait and see what Lan Jun does!”
Sure enough, Lan Jun took action that very night.
But not to Su Ruyi, but to Cheng Weiguo.
In the middle of the night, Su Ruyi heard rustling sounds. In the darkness, she used her divine sense to see Lan Jun tiptoe out of bed, quietly pull the latch on the door, and slip out the door.
Su Ruyi's consciousness followed her, and she also got up and followed her a dozen meters behind.
Seeing that she was heading towards Cheng Weiguo's small building, she ran to the staff office and made a phone call to Cheng Weiguo.
She then caught up with Lan Jun and followed him from a distance once again.
Lan Jun moved very slowly; if Su Ruyi hadn't been tracking her with her divine sense, she would have lost track of her long ago.
Lan Jun went around to the side of the small building, took out a pair of gloves and put them on. Then, like a nimble monkey, he climbed straight up to the third floor along the protruding brick seams in the wall.
Su Ruyi gasped.
Lan Jun's skills are truly exceptional!
Why did she choose such a path?
Lan Jun quickly climbed to Cheng Weiguo's window and observed through the deliberately loosely drawn curtains.
In the darkness, she gradually saw clearly—there was a person lying on the bed, motionless.
I couldn't see his face clearly, but if it wasn't Cheng Weiguo, who else could it be?
His bodyguard, Xiao Sun, was lying on the table, his face turned to the side, so Lan Jun could see him clearly.
Lan Jun gently opened a crack in the window and then dropped something inside.
Silently, a white mist-like substance filled the entire room.
A few seconds later, Xiao Sun slid off the chair.
Lan Jun waited another minute, and seeing that Xiao Sun did not move, he pried open the window and climbed inside.
Su Ruyi was downstairs, sensing everything with her divine sense.
It's obvious that Lan Jun has accomplices in the retirement home, and these accomplices are quite well-equipped.
Lan Jun's own dagger and poison were already lying in her own space. In just a few days, she obtained a new dagger and an even more powerful poison!
Su Ruyi tiptoed upstairs.
Lan Jun rolled into the room, kicked the limp bodyguard Xiao Sun who had inhaled the sleeping powder, and then raised his dagger and reached towards Cheng Weiguo's bed.
Standing by the bed, she didn't act immediately, but sighed, "Cheng Weiguo! You should have known this would be your fate from the moment you didn't give me that chance!"
As she spoke, she swung the dagger in her hand and slashed it viciously at the neck of the person on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, she instinctively covered the person's mouth with her other hand—or rather, the place she judged to be the mouth.
But from the moment she swung the dagger, she knew she had missed!
