After saying that, Li Ruo didn't press the matter further and chose to turn and leave.
The boy stared at her, his expression unreadable.
"Young Master."
After what seemed like two or three minutes, a man dressed in a butler's uniform walked up to him. He looked to be in his sixties or seventies.
The butler said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, the master called on the way and it took a while. Are you being discharged from the hospital today?"
The boy said coldly.
"If you had come any later, you would have seen my corpse."
Upon hearing this, the butler hurriedly apologized.
"I'm sorry, young master."
"It's alright."
He's in a good mood today and doesn't want to have an outburst.
The butler asked cautiously, "Did something happen? Did someone passing by cause you trouble?"
Who can cause me trouble?
If that woman had appeared a minute later, that chubby guy would probably be bleeding from a head wound by now.
He had remained silent and had been verbally attacked.
Instead—while planning how to kick the ball back, strike the opponent squarely on the forehead.
The young master narrowed his eyes.
"They're gone."
"yes."
The butler respectfully pushed the wheelchair and led the person away.
...
In the past few days, Li Ruo has been doing her best to prove to the doctor that she is almost fully recovered.
Finally, her hard work paid off, and the doctor approved her discharge application.
Two or three days after Li Ruo returned to the hotel, she packed her things and left.
During this time, she also received a call from her best friend, who said that she was planning to return to China soon.
Li Ruo enthusiastically introduced her recent work, saying that she had recently made money, and her friends were very happy for her.
Li Ruo smiled and spoke.
"I'll treat you to a meal when you come back to China."
"Okay, okay, I've been craving that spicy hot pot place next to our high school for ages, let's go eat there."
Finally, it was the night before Li Ruo was to return to China.
As expected, thanks to Li Ruo's exceptional abilities, the situation in Lihe has been handled perfectly.
As night fell, she lay in bed, looking at the ceiling above her head, an uncontrollable smile playing on her lips.
Before Li Ruo even returned to China, she had already heard that generous project bonuses were prepared for her back home.
Not only that, but her previously privately invested game projects also seem to have been listed on app stores.
Everything is moving in a positive direction.
Li Ruo was suddenly awakened from her sleep.
The whole world began to shake violently, and she felt as if she had been put into some kind of machine, with no flat ground around her.
A buzzing sound came from outside the window, followed by a sharp, piercing horn.
In her dazed state, Li Ruo vaguely heard someone shouting.
"Earthquake!"
My sleepiness vanished instantly.
Li Ruo grabbed her phone from the bedside table and ran downstairs as fast as she could.
It was two or three in the morning, and the streets were as bright as day.
Amidst the rows of police cars, the crowd remained in a state of shock.
Everyone was shivering, not from the cold wind, but from the shock of the earthquake.
"Please do not panic. Please move immediately to the open area of the nearby park and wait for our medical and police personnel to assess your situation and provide assistance!"
At this moment, Li Ruo felt as if the whole world had gone into chaos.
The air was filled with the cries of children and all sorts of strange smells.
The people around seemed to be in groups, walking towards the park.
Li Ruo, on the other hand, was walking alone on the main road.
The bright moonlight shone down on her, and she felt a little cold.
The park was filled with people who had rushed out to seek refuge.
Li Ruo was completely bewildered throughout.
After she sat quietly in the corner of the park for a few minutes...
A feeling of being surrounded by danger after a great calamity permeated Li Ruo's entire body.
She is no longer a weak person.
But tears just kept welling up in my eyes.
Her breathing became rapid, her body trembled uncontrollably, and large tears streamed down Li Ruo's pretty face.
She was afraid, so afraid; only now did she realize her fear.
Li Ruo dared not think that if she hadn't woken up just now, would she be lying under the rubble?
In fact, the earthquake was not serious.
Even the houses only shook slightly before becoming completely still, with only some dilapidated buildings collapsing suddenly.
Even so, it was enough to scare Li Ruo for a while.
There were rumors that there would be aftershocks, so everyone tacitly agreed not to go back into the house.
In the cold wind, Li Ruo kept shivering.
At this moment, Li Ruo really wanted to talk to someone.
She always reported good news and never bad news, so naturally she wouldn't call Jiang Luo.
After scrolling through her contacts for a while, Li Ruo finally fixed her gaze on a certain name.
From the moment she arrived in Lihe, her interactions with this person were limited to each meeting.
They seemed to be just ordinary superiors and subordinates, never doing anything intimate.
Li Ruo is not someone who doesn't know her limits.
But at this moment, fear and loneliness overcame reason.
"Beep beep beep—"
The phone rang, and Li Ruo nervously gripped her phone.
She curled up into a small ball, her face pale and haggard as the wind dried her tears.
Finally, the call was answered.
"Hello,"
"Mr. Wen!"
Li Ruo's tone was excited.
"What's up."
