"Oh? So, ngting ca too?"
Lin Wushuang suddenly felt a bit embarrassed. She originally wanted to visit Chen Tianlong before anyone else arrived, but she didn’t expect to be caught on the spot.
Thinking quickly, she hastily made up an excuse: "Haha, I had sothing to do this morning and happened to pass by the hospital, so I brought so fruit up. Since ngting is here, I won’t disturb you."
"Oh, Wushuang, don’t leave just yet. You haven’t spoken to Chen Tianlong."
Wu ngting also noticed Lin Wushuang’s embarrassnt. She knew how Lin Wushuang had helped Chen Tianlong these past days. It might just be pure friendship, and she shouldn’t view the relationship between Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang that way.
"Ah? Well then, Chen Tianlong, I wish you a speedy recovery and a long life! Hurry up and go to class."
With that, Lin Wushuang turned her face, grinned at Wu ngting beside her, and said, "Mr. Hu’s car is waiting for downstairs. I’ll go first. Bye-bye."
After speaking, she dashed out of the ward in a flash.
Wu ngting gave a bitter smile, knowing that Lin Wushuang had definitely misunderstood her.
Though she was indeed Chen Tianlong’s girlfriend, that didn’t an Chen Tianlong couldn’t have friends, especially when soone just ca to visit him without any other intentions.
Chen Tianlong also gave a bitter smile. With Wu ngting around, it seed any girl who ca to see him would quickly retreat.
"Well... Chen Tianlong, should I leave quickly too? Otherwise, people might be too scared to visit you."
Wu ngting’s expression was sowhat awkward. She understood what people might think – if there were rumors between Lin Wushuang and Chen Tianlong, it was untrue, but Chen Tianlong had explained it.
If she still distrusted him now, it would make her seem overly petty.
"Knock, knock..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and this ti the person was polite, obviously more composed.
"Co in!"
Chen Tianlong said politely.
A mont later, a girl in a light pink dress appeared. With a tall figure, perfect curves, and shiny black hair cascading like a waterfall over her shoulders, Chen Tianlong recognized her as Liu Ting imdiately, and was a little surprised.
If Lin Wushuang visiting him was understandable, Liu Ting seed less acquainted, making her proactive visit quite unexpected for Chen Tianlong.
It should be known that she was a staff mber at the school, though just a school nurse, it was such a rare gesture to have this intention.
At this mont, seeing it was Liu Ting, Wu ngting quickly stood up, smiled at her, and said, "Hello, Liu Ting."
Although she didn’t know why Liu Ting had co, Wu ngting felt Liu Ting, as a senior, must have another purpose for visiting Chen Tianlong.
"Hello, ngting,"
Liu Ting smiled knowingly and said.
Actually, Liu Ting didn’t know Wu ngting was there, or she wouldn’t have co at this ti. Wu ngting was the recognized girlfriend of Chen Tianlong at the school, and Liu Ting, as a faculty mber, such actions might invite gossip.
"Chen Tianlong, I brought this for you. Knowing you were injured, I specially prepared so herbal dicine and brought a pot over. Try drinking it."
Being a school nurse, Liu Ting believed brewing so dicine shouldn’t lead to misunderstandings, after all, they were just friends.
"Thank you, Liu Ting. Once I recover, I’ll treat you to a al," Chen Tianlong said with a smile.
"Haha, okay. How’s your injury? Feeling better?"
Liu Ting asked calmly without excessive concern, making Wu ngting feel relieved.
Although Liu Ting was a senior, she seed to be about the sa age as Wu ngting. At this age, girls are more sensitive and afraid of loss.
"Yeah, the doctor said it’s nothing serious, I’ll be fine in a couple of days."
Actually, what Chen Tianlong said wasn’t false. Sohow, doctors thought it was a miracle.
It’s one thing to have survived, but his wounds were healing so rapidly. Normally, people in such conditions might still be in a coma or unable to move.
But Chen Tianlong felt like he could move freely now, without any impact, even he was startled, had it not been for this, he wouldn’t have known his body was in such good condition.
The three chatted in the ward for a while, and soon it was noon. Wu ngting had sothing to attend to at school and left the hospital with Liu Ting, heading back to school.
Chen Tianlong finally let out a sigh of relief. Having too many admirers isn’t necessarily a good thing. Although his heart was currently set on Wu ngting, he couldn’t fathom a woman’s thoughts.
Seeing Wu ngting’s eyes when she looked at Lin Wushuang, he could feel a tinge of jealousy.
After bitterly smiling for a while, Chen Tianlong continued to lay back on the hospital bed. It seed he couldn’t move around much today.
"Knock, knock..."
There was another knock on the door. Chen Tianlong thought it was another girl coming to see him, so he planned to surprise her and quickly hid behind the hospital bed.
The room was silent from outside, and the door slowly opened. This ti, instead of a familiar figure, it was a male doctor in a white coat entering his view.
"Where’s Chen Tianlong? I’m here to change your bandage."
The face was not handso, showing signs of many struggles. Chen Tianlong imdiately recognized the man’s appearance.
The man was none other than Zhou Qianghan, whom he had seen at the Xu Family Camp, disguised like this today, clearly here to silence him. Luckily, Wu ngting and others had left; otherwise, they would be in danger.
Chen Tianlong didn’t make a sound. He wasn’t foolish; injured as he was, fighting this man would be a great loss. Even under normal circumstances, he might not win in one move.
This guy must have co prepared, or he wouldn’t be so blatant.
Zhou Qianghan was the Second-in-Command, a leadership figure in that group, and his skills seed to have improved quite a bit since the previous night’s encounter, possibly guided by a master.
After calling out twice with no response from Chen Tianlong, Zhou Qianghan knew soone as severely injured as him couldn’t have left the hospital so soon and must be hiding.
Then, Zhou Qianghan closed the door, readying a throwing knife.
Under Hao Shuai’s guidance, Zhou Qianghan had grasped the essence of throwing knives. Crucially, these techniques were learned from Xu Kan’s "madman" style.
He surveyed the luxurious ward – cabinets, TV, sofa – it had everything.
Yet, with his experience, Zhou Qianghan quickly set his sights behind the hospital bed. If Chen Tianlong was hiding, it was the best spot.
Chen Tianlong continued searching for usable items. Zhou Qianghan had a throwing knife in hand, and facing him empty-handed would be a disadvantage.
Closer, even closer.
Chen Tianlong could almost hear his own heart beating rapidly. At this mont, he truly had no options. Facing such a formidable opponent, he had no weapon at hand.
In a duel between experts, life or death often cos down to a single move. He indeed had no move to use now, while the opponent was closing in step by step.
The worst part was that his body was still wrapped in bandages, making actions inconvenient and inevitably slower.
