A sudden text message, a sudden appearance, and then a sudden departure.
Jiang Wan's appearance seemed to be solely for the purpose of telling Ning Feng in person that she was very worried about his risky actions.
His departing figure exuded elegance...
Yeah, right.
"...I messed it up."
After stepping out of the room, Jiang Wan's smile froze instantly, and she quickened her pace, clutching her waist.
Avoiding passing colleagues, Jiang Wan walked quickly without bumping into anyone, muttering to herself:
"Thank goodness, we were almost discovered."
"They came too fast! A man can't be this fast!"
And on the waist she was covering, a glaring scarlet blood was gradually seeping into her white coat.
Jiang Wan found a medical room, went inside, and locked the door. She pulled open her coat, revealing layers of bandages soaked in blood underneath.
A huge laceration ran through her waist, as if she had been brutally attacked by a terrifying beast, almost severing her entire body in half.
"There's no other way, if I stay any longer I'll be exposed... uh, but it's not my own stuff!"
Despite having a massive, devastating wound in her abdomen that could cause anyone to collapse or go into shock, Jiang Wan's expression did not show pain; instead, she appeared somewhat embarrassed.
"I came here to make him feel guilty. If I reveal that I was also injured, that would be really awkward."
"Oh dear, this wound is really troublesome..."
Wounds of this severity are extremely dangerous even for awakened individuals. It is crucial to control the injury immediately to prevent it from worsening. Although Jiang Wan has a special constitution, she cannot be careless either.
It's okay to be assertive when necessary, but it's also important to know when to back down.
Jiang Wan skillfully changed the bandages, turning the medical room's washbasin into a bloody mess, resembling a murder scene.
After observing myself carefully in the mirror for a while, I could see that although the growth was slow, the flesh and blood were indeed growing slowly.
"Without treatment, it will take about ten hours, which is just enough time to get back."
"Speaking of which, the gift hasn't been given yet..."
"It was just one sentence away!"
Although she was very unwilling to tell Ning Feng the good news in person, going back now would definitely expose her, which would be a huge loss.
With a slight pout, Jiang Wan thought of the guy who had left her wounds, and wished she could piece together his ashes and kill him again.
However, since they found its last possession inside its body, it could be said that it died a worthy death.
"Forget it, let's just ask Aunt Yan instead."
Jiang Wan found a new white coat in the infirmary and put it on. While selecting hemostatic drugs, she dialed the phone.
The call was answered as soon as it rang, and Yan Rulong's calm voice came through the phone:
"Hello?"
"Ahem! Good morning! Our beloved Instructor Yan, how have you been lately? Have you had any disagreements with your wife? Are the kids having any troubles lately?"
"...Get to the point."
Yan Rulong's voice remained completely calm. He knew Jiang Wan's attitude well and could tell at a glance that this disobedient child was going to bother him again.
Otherwise, she would just open her mouth with that unreasonable and unpleasant "Aunt Yan".
The world is going to the dogs; young people these days are so snobbish. They only talk about Instructor Yan when they need something, and Aunt Yan when they don't.
Of course, the number of people who actually dare to say this to his face can be counted on one hand.
"Since you've put it that way, I'll get straight to the point! It's about Ning Feng."
"It's obvious, so let's stop with the pointless pleasantries."
Yan Rulong was unfriendly, but he did not refuse, even though he knew very well that the other party was using him as a tool.
With a smile, Jiang Wan put the medicine bottle into the bag and looked at herself in the mirror. Apart from her slightly pale complexion, there was nothing else unusual about her appearance.
"That's right. As you know, after I switched jobs, they treated me quite well, right? They provided me with a lot of resources."
Yan Rulong: "...?"
Why bring up something you shouldn't talk about?
Don't go too far! Are you deliberately picking a fight?
"Then, in the past two years, I finally upgraded to the third tier. I can't improve quickly in a short time, and some low-tier resources are useless to me."
"So, I used those resources to customize a weapon... but unfortunately!"
Jiang Wan sighed regretfully, as if she were telling the truth.
"The designer actually made a men's version!"
"We can't back out now. After thinking it over, we'll just give it to Ning Feng. He's been having a bit of a rough time lately anyway."
"The last Silverlight weapon doesn't seem to be enough anymore, so it's a good time to get a new one, don't you think?"
Jiang Wan was making excuses rather carelessly on her end, while Yan Rulong on the other end of the phone pulled the phone away with a helpless expression.
Can you two stop being so awkward?
One was trying to get the other transferred to the command line, while the other was indirectly sending the other something for self-defense.
Everyone knows about your relationship. Aren't you tired of explaining so much?
Also, I really don't want to hear it, so please don't tell me anymore.
I'm getting old and tired.
"That's it, just tell him directly, no need to mention my name, I'm not a vain woman..."
Interrupting Jiang Wan's endless attempts to cover things up, Yan Rulong asked a question:
Why didn't you tell him about this yourself?
Your relationship doesn't seem to require so much consideration, does it?
Is it really necessary to go through all this trouble?
Jiang Wan pursed her lips, her lips twitching slightly several times, but in the end she didn't explain. Forcing herself to speak, she said:
"Oh, isn't it better if you say so? You're his boss, so it's reasonable to give Ning Feng a reward for completing the task."
