Jiang Man stared at Zhang Xiaoshan with an indecisive expression and said,
"Can’t I ride in the sa car with you?"
A surefire way to get killed.
"No, not that, yes, of course you can."
Jiang Man didn’t entangle with Zhang Xiaoshan any further but instead spoke to the driver.
"Let’s go."
The driver hit the gas, and the old Santana police car imdiately sprinted up the muddy mountain road.
Qi Hong drove a Volkswagen SUV behind them.
As always, what you fear most cos to pass.
"Little Shan, tell , is my death certain?"
In the police car, Jia Lanhua asked Zhang Xiaoshan weakly.
Zhang Xiaoshan spoke soothingly.
"Sister Lanhua, I told you, I will definitely save you. Stop talking now."
While speaking, Zhang Xiaoshan also stole a glance at Jiang Man’s expression.
Jiang Man kept a straight face, eyes closed.
But Jia Lanhua, as if she had lost her soul, completely ignored Zhang Xiaoshan’s words and kept mumbling.
"Little Shan, I know, I’m dood. Before I go, I have a last wish I need to entrust to you."
"After I die, you must never bring my remains back to White Dragon Village. I get sick of this place just looking at it; I don’t even want to co here in my next life."
"I’m also scared of ghosts; please don’t put in a cetery, that place is too scary. Just find a deserted hilltop and bury there, make sure to bury deep enough to avoid being dug up and eaten by wild animals, that would be too tragic."
Hearing these words, Zhang Xiaoshan was sowhat heartbroken.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Jiang Man also felt sowhat sympathetic and asked,
"Is she still holding on?"
By now, Zhang Xiaoshan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"She could, she probably could, right?"
His dical skills were formidable, but building a house required bricks and cent.
When he had arrived, Jia Lanhua’s vitality had dissipated to nearly none; she was on the verge of death.
Her organs were failing due to lack of blood, and although she was hanging on by a thread, no one could say for certain when that thread would snap.
Jiang Man, sensing the uncertainty in Zhang Xiaoshan’s words, urged the driver to go faster.
Jia Lanhua muttered incessantly again.
"Little Shan, also, the theater manager who wronged —I told you before that I didn’t care anymore, that I had resigned myself to fate, but actually, Sister’s heart is very heavy. I was just lying to myself. I truly hate that man; because of him, I don’t trust n, don’t believe in love, I feel dirty, unworthy of finding a man who I love and who loves . That’s why I ended up hiding, why I ca to White Dragon Village to be Wu Daming’s wife and ended up in this plight."
"So I really hate that vicious man, if you can et him, please kill him for , please avenge , okay?"
"Okay, okay, I will help you."
After hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s response, Jia Lanhua weakly closed her eyes.
"Relieved, that feels good."
...
An hour later.
At the entrance of the county hospital ergency room.
The air was filled with the pungent scent of disinfectant, and Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart clenched.
Jiang Man had called the county hospital on the way; Dean Zhao Qiui had been waiting, personally handling the blood transfusion.
Fortunately, plasma had been prepared in advance and preliminary work done. As soon as Jia Lanhua had entered the hospital, the blood transfusion had started.
"You lousy kid, now that the person has been sent to the ergency room, shouldn’t you at least explain to my cousin what your relationship is with that woman?"
Qi Hong confronted Zhang Xiaoshan aggressively.
Zhang Xiaoshan, feeling sowhat embarrassed, glanced at Jiang Man.
Jiang Man had been supporting him all along, even at this mont, helping him connect with contacts for Jia Lanhua’s sake, but how should he begin to explain to Jiang Man?
Jiang Man was no ordinary woman; she was the city’s most eligible bachelorette, a strong woman. She wanted a pure, spotless love.
What should he say to explain everything to Jiang Man?
Afterwards, could Jiang Man bear it?
What path would his and Jiang Man’s relationship take?
"Just, just the very ordinary relationship of fellow villagers, sothing went wrong, I, I can’t just stand by and not help."
Zhang Xiaoshan argued sowhat guiltily.
He dared not admit, dared not face Jiang Man.
"Just ordinary villagers?"
Qi Hong pressed unrelentingly.
"Ordinary villagers, then why does she trust you so much, and why are you so anxious about her? It’s clear as day, there’s a special relationship there, do you think Little Man is a fool?"
"I..."
Zhang Xiaoshan was left speechless.
Indeed, the situation seed already too obvious.
No matter how he explained it, all seed so feeble and unconvincing.
"Sister Hong, Little Shan has said they are only ordinary villagers, why are you pressing him like this?"
"Alright, it’s getting late, let’s go."
"There are other matters to handle."
"Little Man, you, you believe his nonsense?"
Qi Hong was shocked.
"You’re usually a smart person, how could you suddenly beco so foolish?"
"Alright, Little Shan, you take good care of the patient, Sister Hong, let’s go."
Jiang Man, pulling Qi Hong’s arm, strode away.
Not a second longer did she want to stay here.
"Does she believe it?"
Zhang Xiaoshan questioned himself. If Jiang Man truly believed it, that would be a miracle.
Perhaps she just wanted to preserve so dignity for both of them, and didn’t want to create an awkward scene in front of Qi Hong. She left quickly to avoid discomfort for everyone.
Without more ti to think, the door of the ergency room opened, and Dean Zhao Qiui ca out.
"Dean Zhao, how is it going?"
