In the chilly hospital corridor, Shen Que gently patted Jiang Cheng’s back.
Jiang Cheng closed her eyes, trying to dispel the chaotic thoughts with each breath.
When she opened her eyes again, there was a clarity mixed with determination.
"I’m not tired, I’m doing what I want to do."
"I just don’t want Teacher Lü to have any trouble."
Shen Que felt even more distressed, his girl seemed to have no time even for sadness.
"I know, everything will be fine. You got here just in time."
Shen Que comforted her tenderly, using his absolute certainty to fill the one percent of uncertainty in Jiang Cheng.
Whatever you lack, I will fill.
Jiang Cheng withdrew from Shen Que’s embrace, wiped her eyes, and looked toward the still-lit surgery room.
Quietly, not knowing how much time had passed, the light went out.
Jiang Cheng suddenly stood up, ignoring her aching legs that stumbled, as Shen Que supported her waist.
"Careful!"
"Doctor—"
Jiang Cheng had already run over.
The doctor coming out took off his mask and said, "The surgery went smoothly."
These words were like celestial music, and Jiang Cheng finally exhaled the breath she was holding.
After relaxing, she chased the doctor down, asking many precautions.
Having memorized everything, Jiang Cheng waited at the door for Teacher Lü.
Shen Que also smiled, slowly walking over to hold Jiang Cheng’s hand, saying nothing, just accompanying her.
Half an hour later, Teacher Lü was wheeled out and sent to the ward.
Right now, Teacher Lü was still under anesthesia, not yet awake.
Jiang Cheng stood by the bed for a while, then bent over to cover Teacher Lü with a blanket, whispering, "I’ll be back soon to keep you company."
After speaking, Jiang Cheng quietly left the ward, closing the door carefully.
Outside the room, Shen Que knowingly said, "Here’s the address, let Gao Zhonghua accompany you."
Jiang Cheng took the note Shen Que handed over, and with a soul resonance of tacit understanding, smiled knowingly.
"I’ll be back soon."
Shen Que smiled lightly and said, "No rush, I’m here."
I’m here.
Just four simple words, but they gave Jiang Cheng an infinite sense of security.
She has him behind her.
"Alright!"
Jiang Cheng smiled, turned, and left.
Gao Zhonghua, waiting at the corner, immediately followed.
Leaving the hospital, Jiang Cheng got into the car Shen Que left, with Gao Zhonghua driving.
The two of them sped all the way to North City Inn in S City.
Jiang Cheng walked into the inn with an unstoppable aura, while Gao Zhonghua followed behind her, unsmiling.
The receptionist at the front desk hadn’t had a chance to ask before Jiang Cheng tossed out her ID.
"I’m looking for someone, get them down here immediately."
The receptionist uttered a couple of ohs, wondering internally: Could they be catching someone cheating?
Probably not.
Who would dare to be so bold and shameless?
As the receptionist was lost in thought, Jiang Cheng already stormed up to Teacher Lü’s son’s room.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
Jiang Cheng knocked on the door.
"Coming!"
The voice responding from inside made Jiang Cheng smile; she hadn’t found the wrong person.
With a "creak," Teacher Lü’s son opened the door, and before he could see clearly, he felt a powerful kick to his stomach.
"Ah—thud—"
Teacher Lü’s son landed on the ground, clutching his stomach as he looked up.
"You—"
With a "smack," a slap landed on his face, stopping his words again.
Jiang Cheng didn’t give him a chance to speak, delivering three more punches.
She didn’t waste time talking.
The commotion here prompted the opposite door to open, Teacher Lü’s daughter took one look and shouted.
"What are you doing!"
