After leaving the dungeon, Jun Shiling frowned slightly.
Why did Old K lay a hand on Xia Wanyuan? Could it be that Xia Wanyuan’s identity had been exposed?
No. Jun Shiling quickly rejected this thought.
If Xia Wanyuan’s identity was exposed, then they should capture her alive and not kill her.
But now, they actually wanted to kill Xia Wanyuan. Which meant that there was another reason. What could it be?
“Young Master, the victims in the city have been properly settled. The higher-ups have sent people to ask if the people in the surrounding military district can go back first.”
“Sure. Leave a small number of people to help. The rest can leave.”
Jun Shiling gave the order and the teams stationed in Lin Xi City began to transport outwards with Lin Xi City as the center. The entire Lin Xi City began to recover systematically.
Jun Shiling returned to the ward, but he did not see Xia Wanyuan.
“Miss Xia went to visit Mr. Xuan.” The nurse was helping Xia Wanyuan make the bed. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, she hurriedly explained to him.
Xuan Sheng?
Jun Shiling wanted to look for Xia Wanyuan, but he stopped in his tracks.
Logically speaking, he should be thanking Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan was severely dehydrated. Even the doctor said that if Xuan Sheng had not given his blood to Xia Wanyuan, she would not have lasted until they came to save her.
Although he had mixed feelings, Jun Shiling still chose to believe Xia Wanyuan.
In the ward next door, Xuan Sheng, who was well taken care of, was slowly recovering.
Xuan Sheng, who usually had a devilish look on his face, looked much more amiable than usual in his hospital gown.
“How’s your leg?” Xuan Sheng was still a little dizzy. Seeing Xia Wanyuan come over, he supported himself to sit up.
“It’s nothing serious.” The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards Xuan Sheng’s bed. “How are you?”
“Not good.” Xuan Sheng’s peach blossom-shaped eyes curved into a familiar arc. “It hurts everywhere. I need your comfort, Ms. Xia.”
Xia Wanyuan smiled and said solemnly, “Thank you.”
She was unconscious at that time and did not know that Xuan Sheng had used his blood to save her. She only knew about it after Jun Shiling told her.
“Actually, I don’t want you to thank me at all.” Xia Wanyuan’s words of thanks strictly separated the two of them.
“Rest well.” Xia Wanyuan was not stupid. Even though Xuan Sheng always liked to joke and his words were mixed with truth and falsehood, she could feel Xuan Sheng’s feelings for her.
However, since she had already chosen Jun Shiling, she would not let others have hope.
“Mm.” Xuan Sheng nodded and looked at Xia Wanyuan almost greedily.
The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards the door, but Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of something and gestured for the nurse to push her back.
Xuan Sheng, who was lying on the bed with his head lowered, did not expect Xia Wanyuan to come back. He looked at her in confusion.
“You’re a very good person. You don’t have to bear the consequences of other people’s mistakes.”
Xuan Sheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled. “Miss Xia, you’re giving me a good person card.”
Xia Wanyuan did not speak. She had already said what she wanted to say. The nurse pushed her out the door. Behind her, Xuan Sheng stopped smiling. He quietly watched Xia Wanyuan leave and thought for a long time.
Jun Shiling waited in the ward for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan did not return.
Jun Shiling had always been strong and confident, but in front of Xia Wanyuan, all his defenses were useless.
Finally, as his heart sank, the door to the ward opened. Xia Wanyuan was pushed in by the nurse, and Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over.
“Are you done?”
“Mm, I’m done. I came back to have dinner with you.” After dismissing the nurse, Jun Shiling carefully picked Xia Wanyuan up and placed her on the bed.
“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. “I just went to see Xuan Sheng.”
“I know.” Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan adjust the blanket.
“He’s recovering well.”
“I’ve arranged for a specialized doctor to take care of him. He’ll get better.” After tucking in the blanket, Jun Shiling sat by the bed and held Xia Wanyuan’s hand.
Xia Wanyuan found it a little strange. In the past, when an innocent Wei Zimu called her sister, Jun Shiling would always tease her with the word “brother”. Why did Jun Shiling look so magnanimous now that it was Xuan Sheng who was really entangled with her?
Xia Wanyuan thought of something and asked directly.
Jun Shiling smiled. “I’m very grateful to him. Besides, I believe in you.”
In the past, most of the time, he had only done it to tease Xia Wanyuan. He was not really angry.
Regarding Xuan Sheng, how could he not see Xuan Sheng’s feelings for Xia Wanyuan? That day, when the passageway was opened, the scene of blood on the ground shocked him for a moment. If not for Xuan Sheng, he might have lost Xia Wanyuan. Hence, he was grateful to Xuan Sheng.
And most importantly, he was willing to believe Xia Wanyuan.
Jun Shiling’s answer was expected. Xia Wanyuan stretched. “I want to eat an apple.”
“Okay, I’ll peel it for you.”
Jun Shiling held a small knife and quietly peeled the skin by the bed.
“How many people know about me in Lin Xi City?”
“Your manager and grandfather. No one else knows.”
Afraid that Xiao Bao would be sad, the old master was anxious after knowing that Xia Wanyuan was buried in the mountains. However, in front of Xiao Bao, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.
As for the news from the outside world, unless Jun Shiling allowed it, no one could report the situation in Lin Xi City.
“Then when are we going back to Beijing? My injury isn’t that serious either.”
“Tomorrow morning.” In the end, it was still not as convenient as in Beijing. Xia Wanyuan’s leg injury had recovered pretty well. The doctor had also said that it would not be a problem to escort her on the way.
After taking care of Xia Wanyuan for dinner, Jun Shiling got onto the bed and sat beside her. He chatted with her for a while and told her bedtime stories. Only after coaxing her to sleep did Jun Shiling gently get off the bed and go to the room next door.
“How’s Sister-in-law’s condition?” Bo Xiao finally contacted Jun Shiling. He wanted to burn three incense sticks for God.
“Her body is recovering,” Jun Shiling replied. He frowned when he saw the background behind Bo Xiao. “You’re not in the command center?”
“My Great Master Jun, do you think I can suppress that group of people after you leave? Without you there to suppress them, I think they can even fight in the meeting room. I discussed with the others and dismissed the meeting first. I’m in Lie Dun now, and the Poison Scorpion Laboratory is probably here.”
It was not easy for him to contact Jun Shiling. Bo Xiao wished he could pour out all his words.
“Go back to Beijing first. There’s a problem with the Bo family, so don’t worry about Lie Dun for the time being.”
“Sure.”
