Chapter 666: Chapter 656: The Shock is Revolutionary
"Does your head hurt? Do you feel nauseous or uncomfortable? Also, do you remember what happened before?"
Shen Yunqing stared at Jiang Lingxi as she walked up to him, the familiar scent approaching along with her. Once he confirmed it wasn’t an illusion, a smile immediately appeared on his somewhat pale face.
Jiang Lingxi: "Why are you grinning like that?"
"I’m fine, a little... I remember."
Jiang Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. "You hit your head in the car accident and got a concussion. The doctor said headaches, dizziness, and nausea are normal aftereffects, more severe ones could lead to amnesia, but luckily you don’t have that. The other symptoms should pass in about three to five days."
"Mm. Wu Hua..."
"Dead." Jiang Lingxi interrupted him, using two words to summarize the other’s fate. "The doctor also mentioned that you shouldn’t overthink once you wake up; it’s not good for recovery."
As she spoke, there was a hint of warning in her eyes as she looked at Shen Yunqing.
If she isn’t strict, this person might not listen, after all, thinking is a habit for him.
Shen Yunqing had no choice but to swallow the other questions he wanted to ask and obediently replied, "Okay."
As they spoke, one standing, the other lying down, Wu Jue wrapped Wu Hua’s body in a curtain and quietly carried it out.
Jiang Lingxi heard the movement behind her but didn’t pay attention. She continued with the following arrangements: "We definitely can’t return home tomorrow. The Family Head of the Aibosi family invited us to stay at the manor for a few days. Once your head’s aftereffects disappear and Wu Jue handles the subsequent matters, we can go back. Is that okay?"
"Yes." Shen Yunqing was quite obedient. "Where are we now?"
"At Aibosi Manor. But we’ll need to rest somewhere else later."
"Why are you keeping your hand behind your back?"
This time, it was Jiang Lingxi who hesitated. After thinking it over, she realized it was impossible to hide since it’s so noticeable on the back of her hand, so she simply admitted it: "Well, there was a little accident when I killed Wu Hua just now."
Shen Yunqing’s eyelashes trembled, "Let me see."
Jiang Lingxi had no choice but to lift her hand from behind her back.
"At that time, Wu Hua’s blood splattered onto the back of my hand, and it slowly turned into this. But Wu Jue already assured me it won’t be ruined, it’ll gradually recover."
Seeing Shen Yunqing staring at her hand expressionlessly, Jiang Lingxi simply hid her hand back again, "Both of us got injured this time, but at least the payoff was worth it. You know, in battles, injuries are inevitable."
Shen Yunqing suppressed the intense dizziness in his head and reached out to grab her arm.
Jiang Lingxi immediately stepped back, "No touching, it might be contagious."
Before they could hold their stance for two seconds, Wu Jue returned. Seeing their posture, he explained, "Your Majesty’s hand was contaminated with Wu Hua’s blood, which was most concentrated with death energy from her heart. It’s worse than last time, but it will definitely recover, don’t worry about it."
He patted the wheelchair beneath his hand, "Let me help you into the wheelchair, you shouldn’t stay in this room for long. I’ll purify it overnight once you leave."
The transition from the bed to the wheelchair without Jiang Lingxi’s deliberate blocking revealed the state of the room to Shen Yunqing.
The most damaged area was the cabinet in the corner of the room. A vase had fallen onto the carpet but didn’t shatter; however, its water spilled all over, and withered leaves lay scattered, sketching a human-shaped blank space on the floor.
Additionally, the carpet beneath them had many black stains with faint signs of corrosion.
This immediately sparked his suspicion, and he couldn’t help but glance again at Jiang Lingxi’s hand, his lips unknowingly pressed tight.
Jiang Lingxi pushed the wheelchair out of the room, taking a breath of much fresher air.
Coming towards them were Aibosi Koli and Vini.
Aibosi Koli had never met Shen Yunqing before, but Vini had previously introduced him to her.
Seeing two young people appear simultaneously in front of her, even though she had met countless outstanding youths in her lifetime, she couldn’t help but have her eyes light up.
"The accommodation is ready, not far from here. Vini will lead you both there."
"Thank you," Jiang Lingxi nodded. "You should also go back and rest early."
She didn’t see Gu Qiantong and Guan Yuan in the hall this time, indicating that Wu Jue probably dealt with them initially when he went out. Even without Wu Jue, she didn’t think the two in front of her would let Gu Qiantong off easily.
Seeing the fatigue showing on Aibosi Koli’s face, she didn’t press her further.
Aibosi Koli, however, casually mentioned as they walked to the front door, "Mr. Wu Jue said Hemier and Guan Yuan can be left to him for treatment. I sent Gu Qiantong upstairs, and someone’s guarding her. But I think she’s too scared to run now. I’ll personally hold the Gu Family accountable for this matter. And as for her scheming with Wu Hua against this gentleman, Miss Jiang, I’ll leave it to you. If you need any assistance, just let me know."
Jiang Lingxi slightly curled her lips, "I will."
She certainly wouldn’t let Gu Qiantong off easily.
The previous petty targeting was trivial and she paid it back on the spot without caring.
But this time, Gu Qiantong had truly crossed her line!
Exiting the villa gates, Aibosi Koli got into a cart to return to her residence within the manor.
The events of the night had utterly exhausted her, even after witnessing numerous storms in her life, tonight’s bizarre happenings within her own home, being nearly untouchable except for the cleanup, were a first.
Jiang Lingxi, along with Shen Yunqing, boarded another cart. As Vini got on, she glanced back at her small villa.
With such occurrences, she likely won’t live in that building again.
And given tonight’s terrifying experience, she planned to stay with her grand-aunt for a while.
Through their earlier peer exchanges, now looking at Vini’s obedient behavior in front of her, Jiang Lingxi twitched her lips without saying anything.
Tonight’s shock to her must have been tremendous.
If Vini knew her thoughts, she might argue back.
It wasn’t just huge; it was downright earth-shattering.
Originally, she thought of her as a same-aged friend with potential for a decent friendship.
Who would’ve thought this one could kill without blinking an eye?
To consider befriending Miss Jiang, she truly lacked the courage now.
The cart stopped in front of a building with significant Chinese influences after a few minutes.
At this moment, the building was brightly lit, its doors open, and a young man and woman in uniform were waiting at the entrance.
Seeing Vini and two unfamiliar guests disembark, they promptly greeted them, "Good evening, Young Miss and esteemed guests."
"This building’s designer also designed Chongxiao Tower. I thought coming from Hua State, you’d find it more comfortable staying here. It’s late, so Miss Jiang and Mr. Shen, please settle in quickly, and just instruct these two if anything’s needed."
Pointed out by the Young Miss, they efficiently introduced themselves.
"Take good care of the guests."
"Rest assured, Young Miss."
As Jiang Lingxi pushed Shen Yunqing indoors, a message from Changning appeared on her phone.
[Sister Xi, we’ve arrived!]
[Come directly over; the person picking you up knows where I’m staying.]
Once indoors, the two attendants quickly approached when they saw her put down the phone and whispered, "Miss Jiang, is there anything you need us to do? Perhaps some late-night snacks?"
"Some snacks for four would be nice," Jiang Lingxi considered for a moment and then asked, "Is there a bedroom with two beds? Or could we add an extra bed in a room?"
The two attendants were momentarily speechless.
It was indeed the first time they had heard such an unusual request.
