Lin Xiao did not immediately wake Zheng Aijia. Instead, he walked up to Zheng Wenbin.
At this moment, Zheng Wenbin was like a mouse meeting a cat; he didn't even dare to look Lin Xiao in the eye.
"Your matter will be properly settled by your grandfather later," Lin Xiao said, noticing his subservient demeanor. "I heard you also participated in the surgery. How did it go?"
"Everything went smoothly… Do you need me to wake him up?" Zheng Wenbin quickly asked.
"Not yet," Lin Xiao nodded, then frowned, somewhat surprised. "Did no one cause trouble?"
Shadow assassins had already found him at his home in Shashi. How could Zheng Aijia have successfully completed the surgery without any incidents?
"No," Zheng Wenbin quickly shook his head. "This matter is now personally supervised by Lord Dragon, so no one would dare to mess around."
"Thank you, Lord Dragon, for your hard work," Lin Xiao said. He had already sat by the bedside, considering this a favor owed to Lord Dragon. Without Lord Dragon's presence, all sorts of trouble would have likely erupted, and Zheng Aijia might not even be alive now.
Lin Xiao sat quietly by the bedside, making Zheng Wenbin feel even more uncomfortable.
The more silent he was, the greater the pressure he exerted.
"You can go out now."
Lin Xiao waved his hand. Since this guy was disrespecting himself, why linger here and feel awkward?
"Yes!"
As if granted a reprieve, Zheng Wenbin hurried out of the ward.
Now, only Lin Xiao and Zheng Aijia remained in the ward.
Everything was normal. Lin Xiao knew very well that with his personal intervention, there would be no life-threatening danger. Now that the surgery was over, with the trace of spiritual energy he left in Zheng Aijia's body and the effects of the medicinal pill, he would be back on his feet within a week.
He had been somewhat anxious on the way here, but now he wasn't in a hurry. He quietly waited for Zheng Aijia to wake up, or rather, he was looking forward to it. He wanted to see if anyone would try to harm Zheng Aijia.
This would yield more clues for him.
However, it was clear that the other party was not foolish. No one made a move, and Zheng Aijia seemed to have been abandoned.
After a while, Lin Xiao suddenly stood up and leaned closer, carefully examining Zheng Aijia.
Something was not right.
He had just tried to channel his spiritual energy to check the man's body.
But then he discovered that Zheng Aijia's dantian was empty, completely devoid of anything.
Not only that, Zheng Aijia's overall vital signs were very weak. Although the data was within a normal range, considering the spiritual energy he had left behind and the medicinal pills, it was abnormal.
If nothing unexpected had happened, Zheng Aijia should be showing signs of much better health.
"Zheng Aijia."
Lin Xiao called out.
Zheng Aijia did not respond.
He called out a few more times and nudged him, trying to wake him up.
Then his expression changed.
Zheng Aijia seemed to have heard nothing, showing no reaction.
"Someone!"
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and immediately called someone in. Pointing at Zheng Aijia on the bed, he asked, "Before I arrived, besides Zheng Wenbin, who else came here?!"
"No one."
"Call everyone who participated in the surgery!"
Lin Xiao suppressed his anger and commanded.
