Chapter 187: Turning the Tables 2
In that instant, apart from Xia Chenge’s scream, the set fell into dead silence.
Clearly, such an accident caught everyone off guard, and they didn’t react for a moment.
“Little Brother!”
“Chenge!”
Ling Hanmu and Ning Xia both roared hysterically.
Ling Hanmu’s eyes turned red at a visible speed, on the verge of entering a state of rage, while Ning Xia, in her desperation, was about to cut her wire to save Xia Chenge.
Although it seemed like a series of actions, they all happened in an instant.
“You two, don’t move, I’m fine.” At the same time, Xia Chenge’s voice reached both of their ears, stopping their actions and preventing their secrets from being exposed.
In the split second Ling Hanmu and Ning Xia were stunned, Xia Chenge had already fallen to the ground.
The sound of her fall was loud, but Xia Chenge, having made thorough preparations, was not seriously injured. However, to trick the other party, Xia Chenge deliberately injured herself, causing a bloody head wound and breaking one of her arms.
“Quick, call an ambulance!” Ling Hanmu snapped back to his senses, his state returning to normal, but his eyes were still red as he yelled at the crowd below.
The set immediately descended into chaos.
Xia Chenge lay in a pool of blood, her complexion pale, as if she could die at any moment.
Although Xia Chenge had warned him in advance, Ling Hanmu, after being lowered, was still shivering all over and knelt beside Xia Chenge.
The feeling was like ice shards piercing his heart, cold and painful, making it difficult for him to breathe.
“Little Brother, can you open your eyes and look at me? Don’t scare me…” he called out to Xia Chenge with a trembling voice, his tears falling onto Xia Chenge’s face. Her sad and helpless appearance made everyone present feel extremely distressed.
The cool touch on her face made Xia Chenge’s heart tighten. She desperately wanted to tell Ling Hanmu that she was truly fine. But the responsibility she carried left her no choice at this moment but to pretend to be unconscious.
If Ling Zhongwen didn’t act, she would have no way of obtaining more information about the laboratory.
Humans should not create the zombie virus for their own selfish desires, causing the entire race to suffer a catastrophe.
As a warrior protecting humanity, everything must make way for her mission.
I’m sorry, Ling Hanmu!
The ambulance arrived quickly. Xia Chenge closed her eyes and felt herself being lifted onto the ambulance, undergoing a series of procedures like wound treatment and rescue.
She could control her vital signs well. With current medical technology, they couldn’t diagnose her true condition, so she didn’t have to worry about being seen through.
Upon arriving at the hospital, she was taken to the emergency room.
For Xia Chenge, pretending to be dead was easy, but the process of being rescued was not so fun.
After being ‘rescued’ for over forty minutes, Xia Chenge finally stabilized her vital signs and ended the act, but she continued to feign unconsciousness.
As soon as the doctor left the emergency room, she heard Ling Hanmu immediately step forward and anxiously demand, “How is she?”
“The patient has been rescued, but you need to be mentally prepared. She sustained a head injury and has not woken up yet…” The doctor didn’t finish speaking.
“Then wake her up for this Young Master, or I’ll smash this hospital of yours.” Ling Hanmu excitedly grabbed the doctor’s collar and shouted.
Those around him quickly pulled him back, advising, “Young Master Ling, don’t be impulsive. Perhaps Chenge will wake up tomorrow.”
“Let go of this Young Master, or don’t blame this Young Master for being impolite.” Ling Hanmu was furious, looking like he wanted to devour someone.
Seeing this, Meng Yufei and Zhong Yujin held him tightly, refusing to let go, while signaling for the doctor to leave quickly.
“Let go, all of you let go of this Young Master,” Ling Hanmu warned sternly.
“Enough, Xiao Ge is still inside. What kind of behavior is this out here?” Li Yuming’s cold voice rang out, seemingly pulling Ling Hanmu back to his senses.
Ling Hanmu seemed to be jolted awake, his whole body relaxing. He drooped his head like a pitiful puppy, “Why did this happen?”
“Everything will be alright.” Meng Yufei also felt bad and hugged Ling Hanmu, “You can’t be like this. If Xiao Ge wakes up and sees you like this, she’ll be very sad.”
“But she…” Ling Hanmu choked.
Although she felt that Ling Hanmu might be acting, Xia Chenge’s heart still felt like it was being pricked by needles.
She truly couldn’t bear to see Ling Hanmu sad, even if it was fake.
“What you need to do now is thoroughly investigate why the wire broke and give Xiao Ge an explanation,” Meng Yufei advised again.
“I will absolutely not let those people go.” Ling Hanmu punched the wall. The dull thud landed heavily on Xia Chenge’s heart, causing her to gasp for breath.
“Since this place can’t make Little Brother wake up, let’s switch hospitals. We’ll transfer her to Rende Hospital immediately.”
With that, Ling Hanmu’s footsteps grew further away.
Some followed him, while others sighed at the doorway.
Ling Hanmu acted quickly, and Rende Hospital soon arranged for someone to pick up Xia Chenge.
However, Rende Hospital’s diagnosis was the same as before: it was only a matter of time before Xia Chenge woke up.
Xia Chenge was taken to a VIP hospital room, and Ling Hanmu quietly watched her from the side.
In just one day, he had become so dejected that he looked haggard.
Even with her eyes closed, Xia Chenge could feel his low mood. But on Ling Zhongwen’s territory, she was definitely being monitored, so she dared not act rashly, or all her efforts would be in vain.
“Xiao Mu, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go back and rest?” Ling Zhongwen walked in and said softly.
Ling Hanmu didn’t speak. Xia Chenge felt his gaze constantly on her.
“Be good, otherwise, if Xiao Ge wakes up, you won’t be able to handle it either. Her condition can’t be rushed; she might wake up tomorrow.” Ling Zhongwen continued to persuade.
At that moment, Xia Chenge suddenly felt like she was being stared at by a venomous snake, and goosebumps rose all over her body.
“I’ll stay here with her. I can handle it,” Ling Hanmu said with a hoarse voice. “Uncle, you go ahead and attend to your business. I know what I’m doing.”
“It’s precisely because I’m afraid you’ll lose control. Be good. Someone is watching here. If Xiao Ge wakes up, I’ll notify you immediately.”
“It’s fine, no need.”
“Sigh, you child.”
Ling Hanmu fell silent again.
“Then remember to rest later,” Ling Zhongwen said earnestly. “Xiao Ge is important, and your body is also important. I’ll be going now. If anything happens, remember to call for someone.”
After Ling Zhongwen finished speaking, he left the VIP hospital room.
“Little Brother, please wake up soon, okay?” After Ling Zhongwen left, Ling Hanmu held Xia Chenge’s hand and gently kissed the back of her hand.
Xia Chenge desperately wanted to respond to him, but her reason made her suppress the thought.
“No matter what you do, I will support you unconditionally,” as if sensing her thoughts, Ling Hanmu said softly again. “I will wait for you, but you can’t make me wait too long.”
Happy National Day, little cuties, goodnight.
