Chapter 361: Chapter 361: Mo Baiyou Saves the Damsel in Distress? Damn, I Need to Be Discharged from the Hospital!
Mo Baiyou also had this doubt, his dark eyes growing increasingly somber.
“Perhaps there was an unforeseen change in the middle. But don’t worry, I’ve already sent soone to investigate. Sooner or later, we will uncover the truth.”
Ning Yichu nodded, sitting silently in her chair, recalling the incidents during her pregnancy and delivery years ago…
Everything was perfectly normal, without any issues. So where did the problem arise?
She didn’t know how much ti had passed when the doors to the operating room were pushed open and a doctor ca out.
“Where is the patient’s family?”
…
Li Lingyang’s side.
A luxurious private suite.
Li Lingyang had a different guess about King’s identity.
But right now, none of that was important. The most crucial thing was—he was being ignored yet again, and Ning Yichu wouldn’t even speak to him anymore!
It felt as though a massive pot was boiling furiously in his chest.
However, his movents were limited, so he sent Special Assistant Xu to investigate what was going on.
‘Knock knock knock…’
Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Li Lingyang’s brows furrowed slightly, “Co in!”
Special Assistant Xu’s figure appeared abruptly in his line of sight.
He couldn’t hold back and imdiately asked, “Where’s Chu Chu?”
“President Li, Lady Ning seems to have run into so trouble.”
“Trouble?”
Chu Chu ran into trouble?
Could it be the sa people as last ti, sending soone to assassinate her again?
Li Lingyang abruptly sat upright, his dark eyes flashing with intense light. “Is she hurt? Damn it, didn’t I tell you to arrange protection for her?”
“President Li, please calm down. Lady Ning isn’t hurt. She encountered a nurse being chased while she was on the roadside. Those people didn’t even get near Lady Ning because Mr. Mo took care of them first.”
“…”
It was better not to say this—because once it was said, Li Lingyang’s face turned even darker.
“Are you telling that Mo Baiyou has been with her all along, and even played the hero saving the damsel in distress?”
The voice sounded as if it was squeezed out through clenched teeth.
Li Lingyang growled viciously, “Where are they now? I want to be discharged!”
Special Assistant Xu covered his forehead, realizing he had misspoken, and quickly corrected himself, “President Li, please stay calm. Our people intended to step in, but Mr. Mo acted faster…”
“Why does she always have to ddle in everything? Giving Mo Baiyou the chance to show off!”
Li Lingyang shot a cold glance at Special Assistant Xu. “Why didn’t our people stay closer to her?”
Special Assistant Xu, “…” President Li, you’ve completely missed the point!
Li Lingyang tugged at his collar before speaking again, “Keep going.”
“That woman was stabbed. Lady Ning is now at the hospital waiting for her to pull through.”
Special Assistant Xu paused briefly, then added, “And it seems like things have escalated. Even Reykjavik’s local police are involved now, and everyone is gathered at the ergency departnt!”
“Lady Ning seems to know the woman and has been very worried the whole ti.”
Li Lingyang’s handso face turned frosty as an inexplicable unease tugged at his heart.
For Ning Yichu to remain by soone’s side at the hospital, the connection couldn’t be ordinary…
“Imdiately investigate the relationship between Chu Chu and that woman. Tell our dical team to be on standby and ready to provide support at any ti.”
“Understood.”
“Also, has the assassin from last ti confessed anything?”
“The person is extrely tight-lipped and refuses to disclose anything.”
Such professional assassins were hardly different from daredevils.
Every ti they accepted a mission, they ca prepared to die, already resigned to the worst possible outco.
Those rcenaries were just small fries, completely worthless…
Li Lingyang’s face darkened further.
From Imperial City to Reykjavik, there seed to be an unrelenting force interfering with and obstructing their efforts.
“By the way, President Li…”
Special Assistant Xu suddenly seed to rember sothing and said, “We’ve received news from Imperial City. It’s been confird that the family of the police officer who killed Ji Shiwang was indeed threatened, which explains why he’s been keeping silent.”
“Have his family’s whereabouts been found?”
Li Lingyang’s suspicions deepened. He strongly suspected that the person manipulating the police officer to betray them and the one hiring the assassins were the sa individual!
Special Assistant Xu, “We’ve almost uncovered their location!”
Hopefully, they could extract so useful information from that officer.
Li Lingyang gave a light grunt, “How’s Li Jingtian doing lately?”
“Young Master Mu reported everything as normal. However…” Special Assistant Xu added, “He’s been visiting the old mansion rather frequently.”
Li Jingtian wasn’t particularly fond of going back to the old mansion, was he?
Li Lingyang frowned, “Keep monitoring him. And arrange more personnel for Chu Chu and the children!”
Li Lingyang didn’t want any more mishaps to occur with them.
He then glanced at his own injury, covered in bandages, and his expression turned grim.
Damn it, when would he finally heal completely?
Every single day lying in this hospital bed was making movent increasingly difficult…
…
Ergency departnt.
When the doctor stepped out of the operating room, everyone surrounded him.
Even the police were no exception.
They were still waiting for Annette to disclose information about the perpetrators…
“Hello, I’m Annette’s friend. How is her condition now?”
As she spoke, Ning Yichu’s heart hung on edge, apprehensive.
“The patient was stabbed twice in the abdon, injuring her spleen. Fortunately, you acted quickly, so there wasn’t severe blood loss. We’ve just stitched her up and the anesthesia hasn’t worn off yet. She’s expected to wake up early tomorrow morning.”
The doctor had clearly sensed the gravity of the situation and cautioned them, “Her body is extrely weak right now, and she cannot withstand even the slightest mishap. You’d best assign more people to watch over her.”
“Understood.”
Ning Yichu responded affirmatively.
Annette was the only lead in the entire matter—there could be no further interruptions.
At this mont, nurses wheeled Annette, freshly out of surgery, out of the room.
The wheels ground against the floor, making dull rumbling noises…
She lay motionless on the hospital bed, eyes tightly shut, her face devoid of color and vitality, a sight that tugged painfully at the heart.
The group followed the nurses to a private ward on the fifth floor of the inpatient departnt.
The police stationed four ard officers at the door as sentries.
They also cordoned off the hallway with two yellow tapes, refusing access to visitors. Passersby—patients and families alike—were startled by the scene, retreating hastily from the area.
Mo Baiyou also communicated with the chief of police and arranged for additional bodyguards to keep watch, sealing the area so completely that not even a mosquito could get through.
Annette must wake up in peace!
Everything was ticulously arranged.
Night gradually deepened…
…
With the ti difference, it was morning in Imperial City.
The morning light slowly unfurled its curtain, the air especially fresh, and the private mansion’s backyard was filled with the chatter of birds and the fragrance of flowers.
Li Jingtian, donning a black bathrobe and slippers, lazily descended the stairs.
“Young Master Ting.”
The assistant greeted him respectfully upon seeing him.
Li Jingtian, his sharp eyes filled with mischief, casually asked, “How did things go?”
“Young Master Ting, you can rest assured that all the information from back then has been thoroughly handled. But…”
At this point, the assistant’s expression turned unpleasant, suddenly hesitating.
Li Jingtian paused slightly, his gaze turning sharp and hostile like storm clouds. “What went wrong?”
“The assassins we dispatched ran into Mo Baiyou and Ning Yichu while targeting a nurse. They saved her and sent her to the hospital for treatnt…”
