Nie Canghao woke up and heard a woman crying beside the bed.
He opened his eyes and took a look. It was Bai Ling crying. He closed his eyes again.
"Mo Gui, you're awake!" Bai Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly: "I'll call the doctor over."
Nie Canghao had no choice but to open his eyes again and said calmly: "No need."
"You're vomiting blood again, you're really scaring me to death." Bai Ling stared at his pale face with concern, and then swallowed: "Why do you always vomit blood? If you suffer from this disease at a young age, what will happen in the future?
good."
"It's okay." Nie Canghao stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, feeling a headache.
"I'll pour you water." Bai Ling wiped the corners of her eyes again, stood up and brought a glass of warm water with a straw in the cup.
Nie Canghao shook his head: "I'm not thirsty."
Bai Ling opened her eyes that were swollen from crying and continued to stare at him, saying softly: "I know that at this time, you really hope that An Ran can stay with you and take care of you, but she..."
"Don't mention her!" Nie Canghao said coldly.
Bai Ling frowned and said guiltily: "When I left yesterday, I was particularly worried about the quarrel between you two, so I wanted to stay and persuade you. But An Ran misunderstood me deeply..."
"No need." Nie Canghao put an arm on his forehead, as if he wanted to sleep again.
Bai Ling advised again: "They say that there is no overnight feud between husband and wife, and it is not a big deal. Once An Ran calms down, you can reconcile."
Nie Canghao was silent for a while and then said: "How is Zhu Hong? You should take care of her..."
"Zhu Hong is very bad!" Bai Ling's tears that had just stopped rolled down again, and she swallowed and continued: "You and Zhu Hong are the people I care about most, but they both encountered accidents. I am really sad!
"
"Go take care of her." Nie Canghao felt a headache when he saw Bai Ling's tears... No, it should be... okay, actually it was just a headache.
Seeing his frown, Bai Ling hurriedly wiped away her tears and said comfortingly: "Zhu Hong is out of danger, but two molars were knocked out and half of the front teeth were broken. She will need fillings in the future. In addition, she
My mouth is so swollen that the doctor said I won’t be able to speak normally for a week.”
This sounds like good news! Nie Canghao even hopes that Zhu Hong will never speak again in this life, it is best to become mute.
But Bai Ling was so worried and sad that he could only give a few symbolic words of comfort: "It will be cured! Long Jun has been taking care of her, right?"
"Qinglong is very careful. Fortunately, with him accompanying Zhu Hong, I was able to spare time and energy to take care of you." Bai Ling said happily.
Nie Canghao: "..."
Maybe, he should arrange some other work for Long Jun.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a while.
Bai Ling realized that Nie Canghao did not welcome her to accompany him here, but she insisted on not leaving.
After an unknown amount of time, Nie Canghao asked, "When did you and Chen Lu meet?"
Bai Ling seemed to have expected this question for a long time, and answered calmly: "Speaking of it, my acquaintance with sister Chen Lu is a matter of fate. Zhu Hong and I just returned to the imperial capital and wanted to go to the women's clothing counter to choose some new clothes, but we were met by
Chen Lu also fell in love with an out-of-print skirt."
"Sister Chen Lu reluctantly gave up her love and gave her skirt to me. We chatted for a few words, hit it off and became friends."
"Later, after more contact, I realized that this world is really small. It turns out that sister Chen Lu is the insider who provided clues to help you find An Ran. Our relationship has become even better!"
At this point, she couldn't help but feel sad again, sighed softly, and continued: "But I didn't expect that it would involve her being beaten. She was also seriously injured, but fortunately her teeth were not broken. She just needs to heal the wounds on her face.
It’s been a while.”
Nie Canghao stared at Bai Ling, his eyes a little cold.
Bai Ling asked anxiously: "Why...did I do something wrong?"
"I sent people to send Scarface and Chen Lu to two cities respectively. Why did she come back again? How dare she go around talking about that matter regardless of life and death!" Nie Canghao was obviously suspicious.
When Chen Lu reported An Ran's whereabouts, it was mainly for profit.
After Nie Canghao recovered An Ran, he fulfilled his promise and divided the one billion bounty equally between Scarface and Chen Lu.
He knew that Scarface was cruel and greedy, and he was afraid that Scarface would steal Chen Lu's share of the bounty, so he sent them to different cities.
Scarface and Chen Lu both swore an oath that they would not reveal to anyone what happened to Ah Hao and his group on the ship, nor would they talk about it to anyone.
Who would have thought that Chen Lu would return to the imperial capital after half a year and coincidentally become sworn friends with Bai Ling.
The two are even familiar and trusting enough to reveal the most confidential information to each other.
Nie Canghao didn't know Chen Lu well, but he definitely knew Bai Ling.
The shadow casters of the Dark Island will never trust anyone easily, let alone reveal their secrets to others easily.
Unless Bai Ling did it intentionally.
Under the man's cold gaze, Bai Ling felt a little aggrieved.
"Are you doubting me? But you forget that people change!"
"Back in Dark Island, you liked me the most, but now you like An Ran."
"I'm just an ordinary woman now. I want to make some girlfriends and companions that I can talk to. Let's talk, laugh, and gossip about news together. This is normal!"
"Tight-lipped and wary of everyone, that was Bai Ling, the Shadow Maker in the past. Now I am just an ordinary woman. I don't want to live so tiredly anymore!"
"Mo Gui, to this day, am I not qualified to be wild and be my true self?"
Nie Canghao was speechless.
Bai Ling wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, stood up and lowered her eyes. "You can be dissatisfied with my actions, but I hope you don't doubt me! That would... hurt my heart too much!"
After that, she turned around sadly and left the ward.
Pedestrian Street, Safe and Sound Musical Instruments Store.
The shop is still closed, but the aroma of food is wafting inside.
For the five Ahao brothers, no environment can prevent them from exerting their all-round abilities as shadow casters.
Cooking is just one of their many skills.
Ah Hao told An Ran to eat takeout together, but he only told it to Nie Canghao deliberately.
How could he let her eat takeout?
Looking at a table full of delicious food, An Ran actually had little appetite.
She forced herself to move her chopsticks, and although she ate slowly, she insisted on eating.
Xiaowu and Xiaoqi, who had gone out to inquire about the news, came back. Ahao glanced at them and asked: "What's going on with Mr. Nie?"
"Master Nie is still in the special care ward where he was yesterday. He has woken up and should be fine."
"I went into the attending physician's office and looked through the medical records. The main cause was vomiting blood caused by anger."
"There is no specific treatment for this disease. We can only take care of it slowly, keep a calm mind, and pay special attention to avoid getting angry again."
Xiao Qi answered truthfully.
Ahao was silent for a while, and An Ran was silent as well.
Xiaowu and Xiaoqi washed their hands and sat down to eat together.
After eating, Xiaoqi reported the findings of two other things:
"When Chen Lu broke her leg and was thrown into the sea, she was bound to die. Unexpectedly, the scarred face on the ship coveted her beauty. Seeing that we didn't take her with us when we left the ship, and she couldn't be found on the ship, we guessed
Until she was thrown into the sea."
"Scarface drove a small boat to search the nearby waters, and he actually fished Chen Lu out again."
"Chen Lu was kept in the hold by Scarface and used as a sexual outlet. It wasn't until she couldn't bear it anymore that she told Scarface about the bounty."
"After we were retrieved by Master Nie, Master Nie fulfilled his promise and divided the one billion bounty equally between Scarface and Chen Lu, and sent them to different cities respectively."
"Chen Lu returned to the Imperial Capital a week before Bai Ling returned to the Imperial Capital. The two met in a luxury store and became friends. After that, the two often went shopping and entertained together. They looked no different from ordinary best friends."
"Scarface is missing! There is no news about him yet."
Ah Hao listened carefully to the investigation results about Chen Lu and fell into deep thought for a while.
An Ran couldn't help but said: "Chen Lu suddenly came to me, she must have been ordered by Bai Ling! What she said was also told to her by Bai Ling!"
Eleven said with some anxiety: "I saw Chen Lu when she entered the store! But she was wearing a mask and changed her hairstyle, so I didn't recognize her for a while. How careless!"
He thought the other party was a young woman, not a high risk, and thought she was an ordinary customer entering the store.
Who would have thought that Chen Lu could come back from the dead!
