"Let's see if we can catch the bandits. It's too early to draw conclusions now," Gong Chengjue said.
Everyone nodded in agreement. Thinking too much at this point would only lead to speculation, and besides, it was getting late, so they decided to go back and get some rest.
Gong Chengjue helped Su Ziqing up. Because of the blood rushing down and the many injuries on her legs, Su Ziqing cried out in pain.
"Does it hurt a lot?" If he could, he would really be willing to bear that pain for her.
Su Ziqing stood still, and only took a step after the pain subsided.
When I was fleeing for my life, I didn't feel much pain, but now, every step I take hurts.
If it weren't for the fact that she doesn't need to be hospitalized, and that it wouldn't be safe for her to be hospitalized at this time, she would have wanted to stay in the hospital.
"Be careful, go slowly." Gong Chengjue was extremely careful, afraid of touching her wound.
"Mr. Gong, shall I bring a wheelchair over?" Luo Jinhan whispered a reminder from the side.
"Hurry up and go!" Gong Chengjue was so concerned that he didn't think of letting Su Ziqing leave in a wheelchair.
Not only did he not expect it, but Su Ziqing herself did not expect it either.
“I’ll have the hospital arrange a car,” Lu Linghong said.
Since she was leaving in a wheelchair, she wouldn't need to change seats when she took the hospital's special vehicle.
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement, and for a moment it was just him and Su Ziqing. He squatted down and looked at her at eye level, "If it hurts, just yell out."
"It doesn't hurt anymore, but it will hurt when I stand up and the blood gets congested." Su Ziqing looked at him.
He brushed a strand of hair that had fallen across her forehead. "I'm sorry."
Before she could say anything, he said self-deprecatingly, "It seems like every time we get together, something bad happens to you."
He looked at her, his eyes full of self-mockery, "Maybe I really am your nemesis..."
She raised her hand to cover his mouth, her face serious. "You're not allowed to say that."
He gripped her hand tightly and kissed her fingers; there were also scars on the back of her hand. "But..."
"Are you saying that I brought you bad luck when you had your accident?"
"Nonsense, superstition!" He flicked her forehead. "Get rid of all these ridiculous ideas."
Su Ziqing looked at him intently, "Actually, we both know that the reason we've encountered so many things one after another is because something just happened to happen in our families."
There's no such thing as being "cursed" or "unlucky." It's just an extra feeling of guilt that arises from the heartache after the accident.
But harm is something that can't be predicted in advance. They are in the open, while the enemy is in the dark. There's no such thing as a thousand years of thieves, but a thousand years of guarding against thieves, is there?
If you live in constant fear every day, is there any point in living like this?
“Yes.” He nodded. “I will find out who is behind this as soon as possible, and no matter who it is, I will not let them go easily.” Gong Chengjue’s expression turned serious.
Su Ziqing also became serious, "Leaving aside me, what are you planning to do about your own problems?"
"Hmm?" What's wrong with him?
Su Ziqing was annoyed that he was pretending to be stupid. "If I hadn't asked, were you never going to tell me about the kill order?"
Gong Chengjue remained silent, wondering whether he should tell a roundabout lie, when he heard Su Ziqing say, "Tell the truth."
"...Hmm." He truly hadn't intended to tell her from beginning to end.
This kind of thing would be terrifying for most people, right?
"Such an important matter!" Su Ziqing thought of what he had said on the phone before, and now that they were face to face, she still wanted to scold him.
"Did you tell Senior Brother Feng?"
Gong Chengjue looked at her, about to say something, when Luo Jinhan pushed the wheelchair back, and Lu Linghong had already arranged a car.
Gong Chengjue insisted on going back in the same car as Su Ziqing, and Lu Linghong could only secretly despise him, but still agreed.
Regarding the relationship between Gong Chengjue and Su Ziqing, Lu Linghong felt that he had given up interfering.
The more they experience together, the stronger their bond becomes.
The car stopped downstairs at Su Ziqing's apartment building. Gong Chengjue personally pushed the wheelchair and then politely said to Lu Linghong, "Mr. Lu, thank you for notifying me so soon tonight, and thank you for your concern for Ziqing. It's so late, you should go and get some rest. I won't see you off."
Of course, there was no intention to let Lu Linghong go to Su Ziqing's house.
Male, um, bye-bye.
Su Ziqing: "..."
Not wanting to put Su Ziqing in a difficult position, Lu Linghong went along with Gong Chengjue's suggestion and said, "Then I'll go back first."
Su Ziqing nodded, "Thank you, senior brother."
He raised his hand to touch Su Ziqing's head...
Gong Chengjue had already extended his hand first, and then shook hands with Lu Linghong's hand in a handshake gesture, saying very seriously, "Thank you."
Lu Linghong: "..."
Their gazes met in the air, almost audibly sparking, but in the end, Lu Linghong was defeated.
He smiled at Su Ziqing, "Don't think too much. Get a good night's sleep."
"Um."
With Lu Linghong gone, Gong Chengjue naturally had to get rid of Luo Jinhan, the big third wheel.
"You should go back and rest too. Come back before nine o'clock tomorrow morning," Gong Chengjue said to Luo Jinhan.
Luo Jinhan nodded, "I'll take you and Miss Su home first, then I'll leave." Even if it's just taking the elevator, what if something unexpected happens at this moment?
Gong Chengjue hummed in agreement.
Luo Jinhan escorted Gong Chengjue and Su Ziqing back home. Out of concern for their safety, he also poured them water and then thoroughly inspected the entire house to ensure there was no danger before leaving.
As Luo Jinhan descended into the underground parking garage, she brushed past a foreign man.
The foreign man was wearing a baseball cap and carrying a bag on one shoulder. Luo Jinhan just found it strange that a foreign man carrying a bag was going home at this time.
But before he could think about it any further, the elevator doors had already closed.
Luo Jinhan took a few steps, then suddenly remembered something and called to the bodyguard waiting in the car, "Quick, hurry up."
However, you need to swipe your resident card to enter the elevator, and even if you call the security guard, it won't be long enough.
Luo Jinhan's heart was in her throat. "Take the stairs. Quickly."
Then he took out his phone to call Gong Chengjue.
"Sir." A female voice suddenly rang out. In the middle of the night, Luo Jinhan was stunned by the sudden appearance of the voice.
However, the woman they saw was the same woman who had fought with Sakai at the hotel in N City before.
Before Luo Jinhan could even dial a number, the other person had already kicked him.
The phone fell to the ground almost simultaneously.
"Your opponent is me." The woman smiled slightly at Luo Jinhan, but the smile was somewhat eerie.
Luo Jinhan only hoped that the bodyguards going up the stairs would think of calling Gong Chengjue.
Otherwise... he doesn't know what the consequences will be.
A vague realization dawned on him: tonight's kidnapping of Su Ziqing might just be a diversionary tactic; their real target was... Gong Chengjue, who had rushed over from the capital?!
