Although, at the time, that ambition was simply to treat me as his personal property...
"So, let's try something else; I can't do this one."
and……
Looking at Jiang Wan's gloomy expression, Xilin gave a self-deprecating laugh and muttered to herself:
I will protect him even if you don't tell me.
call!
Jiang Wan let out a long breath and patted her cheeks hard.
Slap! Slap!
"alright!"
The gloom on her face vanished, Jiang Wan concealed her inner unease, and resumed her previous cheerful demeanor.
"Oh dear, others are still unreliable, I have to rely on myself!"
"Then let me work hard to become stronger, keep him under my control, and protect him well!"
Shirin: ...?
Something about that sounds a bit off.
They resumed their usual way of interacting, both trying to forget what had just happened as a minor incident.
With a faint smile, Jiang Wan tilted her head and asked Xilin:
"Since you don't believe that matter, could you help me investigate the truth behind what happened back then? About... that accident that made me and Ning Feng orphans?"
She emphasized the word "accident" very much.
Xilin carefully examined Jiang Wan for a while and found that she had hidden her previous emotions well and was no longer in any serious condition.
Nodding, Xilin didn't seem to care about the matter.
"That's possible, but why did you suddenly bring this up now?"
So many years have passed, even if we find the answer now, what's the point?
"The reason might be that I met someone who was impossible to meet recently. His appearance made me very painful and angry."
Calm and completely undetectable as if she had almost collapsed over her homework, Jiang Wan muttered to herself:
"But at the same time, another thought came to my mind... If even he has appeared, is it possible that they are still alive?"
Jiang Wan really didn't think that people who could leave behind that level of tribunal badge were just ordinary people.
"This is fine, I'll have someone investigate for you... Hmm? What's wrong?"
Nodding, Xilin was halfway through her sentence when she suddenly noticed that Jiang Wan's expression had become very serious.
What happened?
With an extremely solemn expression and a somewhat shifty gaze, Jiang Wan slowly said:
"I sense that a bad woman is getting close to Ning Feng..."
Shirin: ? ? ?
What are you talking about?!
...
...
"Captain!? How are you...?"
Bang!
Chu Yu kicked open the door and rushed into the room in a panic, but stopped abruptly just as he was about to rush toward Margaret.
!!
The scene inside the room was far different from what she had imagined.
There was no smell of blood in the air, but rather a faint, sweet fragrance.
The captain was tightly bound to the hospital bed, a piece of broken cloth clenched between his teeth, struggling in agony and banging his body against the bed frame.
A man sat comfortably on the edge of the bed, flipping through an untitled book with one hand, completely oblivious to Margaret's appearance.
"What are you doing!?"
Even though he had guessed that there was more to the story, Chu Yu still couldn't help but shout it out.
What's going on here?!
Ning Feng, who had been sitting and reading, finally looked up and smiled at the flustered Chu Yu.
"Hello, I think you can tell as well that your captain needs a little help."
Chu Yu looked at this still unfamiliar man, observing the captain's appearance as he spoke:
Why did you seal her mouth shut?
“If I don’t stuff something into her throat, I’m worried that Ms. Margaret will bite off her tongue, after all, she just…”
As he spoke, Ning Feng rolled up his sleeves and showed Chu Yu the wound on his forearm that was still slowly healing.
It was a deep, bone-deep wound, like the teeth marks of an adult.
"I think this should clear my name."
Although it was I who induced her to bite.
After saying that, Ning Feng was about to lower his sleeves again, but Chu Yu spoke up:
"No, not yet?"
oh?
Slightly surprised, Ning Feng, relying on his intuition, didn't think Chu Yu was the kind of person who would make things difficult for him like this.
Approaching step by step, Chu Yu walked to Ning Feng's side.
She first glanced with some reluctance at the captain who was still struggling unconsciously, then looked at Ning Feng's wound.
Taking out a number of medicines from his pouch, Chu Yu avoided Ning Feng's eyes and whispered:
"Your wound needs treatment. The captain's teeth contain a special kind of fire poison that can harm even awakened beings."
Ning Feng allowed Chu Yu to treat his wounds without refusing. Instead, he quietly watched her profile, waiting for her to continue.
As expected, Chu Yu did not disappoint him, and whispered:
"I'm sorry, my attitude was not good just now."
Ning Feng shook his head dismissively and smiled faintly:
"It's okay, I understand."
"I don't know if it's just my imagination..."
Looking Chu Yu over, Ning Feng asked softly with some doubt:
Are you afraid of me?
What are you... afraid of?
