“Uncle, you’re not dreaming, we’re just lucky today,” Zhan Xiaojun said, her eyes curved into crescents.
Thirty thousand was enough for Lin Ya’s medical expenses.
And to settle the current hospital fees.
Lin Jing grimaced in pain, fully sober and coming to his senses. “Did you cheat? Do you know where we are? This is the biggest casino in Yan City! If we get caught…”
“You said it’s the biggest casino, so you should know no one can cheat with cameras and eyes everywhere.”
“Then you…!”
“Just lucky. Heaven rewarded me for awakening, didn’t it?”
Lin Jing was stunned. “Awakening?”
“Mhm.”
“I don’t believe it.” Lin Jing looked skeptical, clearly unconvinced. Yet, everything that had happened since this morning left him bewildered and confused.
Zhan Xiaojun didn’t mind. “Go and pay my mother’s medical fees first.”
“Right, right, right, I’ll go pay the bill. The hospital has been urging me to pay for a week now.” Lin Jing nodded repeatedly, completely oblivious that Zhan Xiaojun had changed the subject.
He then made to bolt towards the hospital.
“Wait, transfer thirty thousand to me first,” Zhan Xiaojun called out, stopping Lin Jing.
Lin Jing immediately stopped, his suspicion piqued. “You…”
Zhan Xiaojun raised her wrist, the blood clearly visible through the gauze bandage.
It was obvious what had happened.
Although Lin Jing was utterly disappointed in Zhan Xiaojun, she was still his niece. He asked anxiously, “What happened?”
“It’s what you think. I finally saw the error of my ways, realized how much of a scoundrel I was, and learned the true nature of Zhan Zhijun and the others. In my remorse, I attempted suicide. I didn’t die, and then I had a dream that said I’d make thirty thousand at the casino today,” Zhan Xiaojun fabricated a story.
Lin Jing felt that everything from this morning until now was surreal.
But the money was real!
Compared to thirty thousand, three thousand was nothing.
He still suspected Zhan Xiaojun was up to something.
Gritting his teeth, he said, “I’ll believe you this one time.”
He took out his phone and directly transferred thirty thousand via WeChat.
Suddenly, cries came from behind them.
“President Ning!”
“Quick, quickly take President Ning to the hospital! President Ning hasn’t slept all night and has fainted!”
People at the entrance of the casino rushed forward.
Zhan Xiaojun turned and glanced casually.
It was the person who had been watching her on the second floor earlier.
At the time, she had thought he was some shareholder or boss of the casino, so she decided to stop while she was ahead.
Now, it seemed he wasn’t from the casino.
“Let’s go back to the hospital,” Lin Jing said, walking a few steps ahead. Seeing that Zhan Xiaojun hadn’t followed, he turned and called out.
Since Zhan Xiaojun claimed to have repented, he would take her to see his sister. When they got there, he was sure he would see through any trickery.
Zhan Xiaojun’s nature took over. For years, she had been practicing medicine outside, and she instinctively stepped forward when she saw someone sick.
By the time she realized it, she was already in front of the person everyone was calling President Ning.
The words had already left her mouth.
“Put him down, I can wake him up.”
Assistant Liu turned and saw it was Zhan Xiaojun. His face immediately turned cold. “Do you know who President Ning is? Don’t cause trouble, or your entire Zhan family can’t afford it.”
To his surprise, Zhan Xiaojun produced silver needles from somewhere and inserted one into President Ning’s head.
Assistant Liu was alarmed. “Zhan Xiaojun!”
With just one needle.
Assistant Liu lunged towards her.
Before he could reach her, Lin Jing grabbed her and ran.
As they ran, he exclaimed, “You’ve caused trouble! How come I never realized you were so bold before? Do you know who that unconscious person is? He’s Ning Yecheng! No one in Yan City dares to provoke him!”
“It’s over, it’s over. If something happens to him, no hospital in Yan City will take your mother. Zhan Xiaojun, are you that daring? Sticking needles into people? They’ll definitely call the police to arrest you.”
The more Lin Jing spoke, the more severe he felt the consequences would be.
He had heard people at the construction site before, he didn’t know if it was true or not, but they said that if Ning Yecheng wanted someone to disappear without a trace, no one could find any evidence.
Later, when he went to the Ning Group building with the housekeeping company, he finally saw this legendary figure.
The thought that Zhan Xiaojun might disappear without a trace made Lin Jing’s face turn pale.
“He won’t have any problems, don’t worry, Uncle,” Zhan Xiaojun replied calmly.
She felt a little helpless.
The silver needle hadn’t been removed yet.
“You have no idea of the consequences! Come with me to the hospital, pack your suitcase and leave Yan City immediately. I’ll give you another twenty thousand yuan, and you can go hide somewhere else!” Lin Jing was completely panicked.
Zhan Xiaojun smiled. “Don’t worry, he’ll wake up soon.”
She needed to curb her occupational habit.
From the original host’s memory, she knew about Ning Yecheng from Zhan Xiaoya.
It was said that Zhan Zhicheng and Mu Bai’s families all wanted to get to know him but never had the opportunity. It was difficult even to get a glimpse of Ning Yecheng.
“Your needle can wake him up? Are you hallucinating from blood loss now?” Lin Jing gasped.
Because when he let go just now, he accidentally pulled off the gauze on her wrist.
The wound was extremely deep.
It was truly a cut wrist with a suicidal intent.
And she still brought him to the casino like this?
Zhan Xiaojun didn’t mind, reapplied the gauze, and wrapped it skillfully. “Don’t be nervous, relax.”
…
Assistant Liu and the others ran off before they could react.
He spoke to the person beside him, “Hurry and follow them! If anything happens to President Ning, send that Zhan Xiaojun straight to the police station.”
Just as they were loading the stretcher into the car.
Ning Yecheng opened his eyes.
His eyes were like smoke rising from a cold night.
Piercing and chilling.
Assistant Liu was shocked. “President Ning!”
“Who just performed acupuncture on me?” Ning Yecheng raised his hand to press his head, only to feel a silver needle.
He removed the needle.
He narrowed his eyes.
“It was… Zhan Xiaojun. I’ll go to the police station and report her immediately. Don’t worry, President Ning, she’s incredibly daring, I’ll find a way to get her to spend a few years in prison,” Assistant Liu said quickly.
“Bring her to see me,” Ning Yecheng said.
Assistant Liu froze.
He couldn’t guess what President Ning was thinking.
Since meeting Zhan Xiaojun last night, President Ning had seemed somewhat preoccupied.
That Zhan Xiaojun was indeed beautiful, exquisite to a degree rarely seen in the entertainment industry.
He had been by President Ning’s side for five years and had never seen him with any woman. President Ning’s family all thought he preferred men, and he had also heard whispers that President Ning had a white moonlight in his heart, but that white moonlight had left Yan City years ago.
Could it be…
Zhan Xiaojun resembles President Ning’s white moonlight?
So he had some feelings?
As an assistant, Assistant Liu felt he had to try his best to understand what President Ning was thinking.
…
At the hospital entrance.
Lin Jing, panicked, pulled Zhan Xiaojun to go inside.
No matter how calm and composed Zhan Xiaojun was, Lin Jing was convinced they had gotten into trouble.
Suddenly, a van blocked their path.
Before they could react, Zhan Xiaojun was dragged into the van by two men.
