Chapter 371: Chapter 369: Lu Family Recognizes Relatives 6_1

"Miss Xia!" His previously displeased expression instantly vanished, replaced by a beaming, loving smile as he approached her, concern in his voice as he asked, "Were you present when he tried to kill himself just now? Weren’t you frightened?"

His tone was filled with care.

"I was there, but I wasn’t scared." Xia Ningxing indeed hadn’t been scared, but she was puzzled as to why the man had inexplicably tried to kill her.

No, to be precise, he had wanted to cripple her hands.

If he truly intended to kill her, he should have aimed for her heart or arteries.

And most importantly, she could tell from the sound of his footsteps that he must have been trained.

In other words, someone had paid a hitman to cripple her hands.

Who could it be?

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, thinking to herself in the dark.

"It’s good you weren’t frightened," Dean Lu said soothingly, nodding. Noticing she was somewhat distracted, he waved his hand in front of her with a hint of suspicion, "What’s the matter, Miss Xia? Do you have something on your mind?"

"No..." Xia Ningxing came back to her senses. She didn’t intend to tell him about the man who had tried to kill her, so she changed the subject right away, "Dean Lu, I should go and continue with Sir Lu’s acupuncture."

Her reason for not telling Dean Lu was that all of this was just her speculation.

Dean Lu nodded, "Then I’ll leave you to it, Miss Xia. I have to go to the emergency department to check on the patient who just attempted suicide."

"No problem."

After that, the two of them went their separate ways.

The top-floor ward.

Today, only Aunt Lu and Lu Lao’er were here taking care of Sir Lu. It wasn’t that the others didn’t want to stay, but Sir Lu found them noisy and had sent them all away.

In truth, everyone could see that he didn’t want them to neglect their work or studies on his account.

At this moment, as soon as Lu Lao’er thought that the hitman had succeeded, he couldn’t help whistling, feeling triumphant and elated.

Despite Sir Lu having expelled a lot of poison these past few days, if the acupuncture were to stop, he would soon return to his former state.

Thinking of the day Sir Lu would pass away as the day he would inherit the Lu Family’s wealth, Lu Lao’er’s tail couldn’t help but wag.

Seeing him in such high spirits, Aunt Lu joked with Sir Lu, "Dad, look how happy your son is now that you’re getting better!"

Misunderstood, Lu Lao’er: "..."

So, he had no choice but to grin and bear it, nodding with forced cheerfulness, "Our dad is about to recover, of course I’m very happy." Yeah, right!

The sooner the old man dies, the better!

Lu Lao’er cursed again in his heart.

"Lao’er is a good boy." Hearing this, Sir Lu revealed a tender smile.

He deeply adored this youngest son who had been lost since childhood, and at this moment, seeing how concerned he appeared, Sir Lu felt incredibly happy.

Misunderstood again, Lu Lao’er: "..."

Then, Sir Lu checked the time, and a look of concern crept across his face, "It’s almost ten o’clock, why hasn’t Miss Xia come yet? I hope nothing has happened."

Of course, something had happened!

Lu Lao’er, standing to one side, couldn’t help but sneer internally, already imagining Xia Ningxing’s hands being rendered useless.

This doctor with crippled hands, let’s see how she manages to give acupuncture to Sir Lu now!

"Shall I go down and check?" Seeing Sir Lu so worried, Aunt Lu quickly suggested.

Sir Lu immediately nodded like a pecking chicken and urged, "Go! Go quick!"

Aunt Lu, with a helpless smile, was about to walk towards the door when, unexpectedly, it was pushed open ahead of her.

Seeing the newcomer, Aunt Lu’s eyes instantly lit up, "Miss Xia!"

As she called out, she warmly went forward to take her arm and asked with concern, "Miss Xia, what took you so long to come today, was there some matter that delayed you on the way?"

"Nothing much, I just saw someone attempt suicide at the hospital entrance, and that held me up for a while," Xia Ningxing briefly recounted the event.

"I see," Aunt Lu nodded.

As for Lu Lao’er, his jaw dropped the moment he saw Xia Ningxing.

And when he saw her hand was unharmed, he was even more stupefied.

He could scarcely believe his ears as he blurted out, "How could you..." be alright?

Thankfully, the last shred of reason appeared in his mind in time, and Lu Lao’er managed to stop himself.

He suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, nearly revealing too much.

Xia Ningxing didn’t miss his astonished expression and immediately narrowed her eyes to probe, "What’s wrong with me? What were you going to say?"

Could it be that he was the mastermind behind all this?

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but speculate, after all, his reaction was just too strange, it was impossible not to suspect something.

Aunt Lu and Sir Lu also couldn’t help looking at him, quietly waiting for what he would say next.

Lu Lao’er felt more cold sweat trickle down as he racked his brain and stuttered, "It’s nothing, I was just curious why someone would suddenly commit suicide out of the blue?"

Moreover, he had a bad premonition that this person could very likely be the hitman he hired to destroy Xia Ningxing’s hand!

Seeing his nervous demeanor, Xia Ningxing was almost certain that Lu Lao’er was involved in this matter.

But what she didn’t understand was, Sir Lu was his biological father, by getting someone to ruin her hand, he was indirectly killing his old man!

Has he gone mad?

Who would long for their own father’s death?

Xia Ningxing was filled with questions in her heart, but she remained composed on the surface, shaking her head and replying, "I’m not sure why he would suddenly kill himself."

After speaking, Xia Ningxing no longer paid attention to him and planned to go straight to Sir Lu, "Old Mr. Lu, how do you feel now?"

"Very good, very good, exceptionally well, thanks to Miss Xia!" Sir Lu spoke with a voice much stronger than before, and his cheeks flushed with more vitality. To those unaware of the truth, Sir Lu would seem like a healthy man.

Xia Ningxing nodded with a smile, "Then I will continue the acupuncture."

"Good!" Old Mr. Lu immediately nodded like an obedient baby.

While Xia Ningxing was performing the acupuncture, Aunt Lu and Lu Lao’er both stepped outside.

When Xia Ningxing had finished administering the acupuncture and came out, Dean Lu coincidentally came over from the emergency room.

Thinking of the person who had tried to kill her before, Xia Ningxing immediately asked him, "Dean Lu, how is that person who attempted suicide doing now?"

"The knife went straight into the heart, we couldn’t save him, he’s dead," Dean Lu said, shaking his head in regret.

Xia Ningxing nodded, but from the corner of her eye, she watched Lu Lao’er, then noticed he visibly let out a sigh of relief.

Good that he’s dead! It’s a relief!

With him dead, there’s no testimony left! And no way for him to blurt out anything now!
