"Doctor, when will he wake up?"
Jiang Wen has been busy with blind dates these past few days, so he can only visit Huo Xiting at the hospital in the evenings.
Knowing Jiang Wen's identity, the doctor dared not neglect her and thought for a moment before speaking.
"Mr. Huo's health is actually fine now. He should wake up in the next few days, so Miss Jiang doesn't need to worry too much."
Hearing this, Jiang Wen felt a little annoyed. His words were vague and sounded like a perfunctory response.
"Doctor, isn't there an exact time?"
The doctor was somewhat embarrassed...
“Well… Miss Jiang, every patient’s physical condition is different, so their recovery is also different. Mr. Huo suffered such serious injuries and lost too much blood, and he has only been in a coma for less than a week. You really don’t need to worry so much.”
Jiang Wen didn't know what to say after hearing this. She glanced at the man on the bed. Huo Xiting was still not awake. She wondered how long the Huo family could last without Huo Xiting.
She turned and walked out of the hospital gate. A-Qiang parked his car on the side of the road. When he saw her coming, the car window was rolled down, revealing A-Qiang's somewhat unpleasant face.
"Miss, let's go quickly."
Jiang Wen's gaze sharpened slightly, and he couldn't help but move a few steps closer to the car; "Qiang, what's wrong?"
As she moved closer to the car window, she vaguely noticed a cold, dark hole in A-Qiang's lower back.
Jiang Wen's heart skipped a beat.
gun?
She instinctively turned to leave, when a familiar, magnetic voice with a smile suddenly sounded from inside the car window.
“Miss Jiang, I just got back from abroad today and came to catch up with you, but you ran away as soon as you saw me. If you keep doing this, I’ll be in a difficult position.”
Jiang Wen stopped in his tracks and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
So it was Junxian!
She hadn't seen what the person in the back seat looked like and assumed they were an enemy of the Jiang family who wanted to cause her trouble.
Somewhat angrily, he opened the car door and got in.
The back seat was spacious, and when Jun Xian saw Jiang Wen enter, a teasing smile appeared on his charmingly wicked face.
"Miss Jiang."
He put the gun away, but the faint smile on his face was devoid of warmth.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I can't beat him."
Ah Qiang's voice sounded apologetic.
Jiang Wen knew that Jun Xian was exceptionally skilled, and most importantly, he had a gun. It was normal that A Qiang couldn't beat him. She gave Jun Xian a cold look.
"It's not your fault. Some people win unfairly. When they can't beat someone, they use a gun to intimidate them."
As she spoke, she glanced at the gun gleaming coldly in Jun Xian's hand.
Jun Xian raised an eyebrow, held the gun between two fingers, and his wicked smile made him look like a demon.
"Is this what Miss Jiang is referring to?"
Jiang Wen's heart trembled; this man wasn't afraid at all that the thing might go off.
Seeing Jiang Wen's wary expression, the man's smile deepened. He slowly lowered his head and whispered in Jiang Wen's ear.
"Miss Jiang, this is a replica gun. I saw it abroad and thought its craftsmanship was so realistic that I bought it as a gift for you. Do you like it?"
Jiang Wen; "..."
Ah Qiang: "..."
Jiang Wen gritted his teeth and glared at the man in front of him; "Young Master Jun, what exactly do you want?"
Jun Xian forcefully shoved the replica gun into Jiang Wen's hand, raising an eyebrow and smiling at her; "I don't want to do anything. I heard that your Jiang family is currently looking for a son-in-law to live with you. I wonder how Miss Jiang's search is going? Have you found one you're satisfied with?"
Junxian's voice carried a hint of coldness.
He was too close, and the faint scent of his cologne filled her nostrils, making Jiang Wen feel flustered. Her throat tightened, and her mouth went dry. She couldn't help but swallow to calm herself.
"The young talents I've met are all excellent. They are handsome, talented, gentle, and considerate. The only drawback is that they are all too good, making it difficult for me to choose."
Jun Xian still had a smile on his lips, but it had taken on a more chilling quality. This little woman in front of him was clearly challenging his anger.
"Is that so, Miss Jiang..."
He drew out the last syllable, conveying a strong sense of danger and coldness.
...
The river view at night, combined with the neon lights of the southern part of the city, is exceptionally beautiful.
However, Yu Chiyan, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window on the 38th floor, clearly had no interest in appreciating any of this.
Jiang Chen's voice sounded behind him.
"Master, everything is ready. The Huo family will change hands tomorrow."
Looking down at everything beneath his feet, Yu Chiyan felt no joy at Jiang Chen's words. His brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt crept onto his handsome face.
"Jiang Chen, do you think the Huo family is only capable of this much?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen paused slightly. "Master, haven't you always suspected that Huo Xiting is connected to those people from ten years ago? If that's the case, then he must also be connected to that dark organization. Only by attacking his Huo family will the forces behind him gradually emerge."
As for the Huo family, whether it's that simple or not is irrelevant.
Yu Chiyan naturally understood this principle better than Jiang Chen. He turned his head and gave the man a cold look.
This glance made Jiang Chen feel a little flustered. Had he said something wrong?
His mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Master, don't you think the Huo family was acquired a little too easily? There might be a trap inside?"
Yu Chiyan gave him a look that said, "You've finally gotten your brain."
"Once the Huo family successfully completes the acquisition, you'd better inspect everything inside and out carefully."
