It was morning by the time Ling Tianya woke up. She noticed that she was receiving nutrient fluids through an IV drip connected to her arm. She had been focused on cases relating to the hospital for her new book and therefore she understood the name that was written on the IV drip.
Ling Tianya took out the needle and sat up. Then clothes on her body provided evidence that after she was tranquilized last night, she had not been treated violently.
Last night, she had purposely made herself have a migraine. From the incident last time, as well as from starving herself over these couple of days, Ling Tianya was quite certain that the leader was someone she knew.
She didn’t mean that she knew him before Zhang Ke sealed her memories but that it was someone she currently knew. Also, it was clear that this person did not want to harm her. That was why Mike had rushed over when Ruan Guofu had attacked her. Now, she understood that it was an act of kindness toward her.
While Ling Tianya was still searching her mind for everyone she knew, the door opened and Zhang Ke walked in.
Seeing that Ling Tianya had discarded the needle, Zhang Ke furrowed her brows and put the plate of food in her hand down on the table. She took a couple of steps forward. “Why did you take the drip out? Do you know that your body is currently very weak?”
“Zhang Ke, I really don’t understand you.” Ling Tianya sat on her bed and looked at Zhang Ke. “What are you trying to do? You can’t bear having betrayed me?”
Zhang Ke stammered, unable to say anything. She silently carried the breakfast over. “Eat something. You’ve already skipped many meals. Your stomach had reached its limit. It’s fine even if you simply eat some porridge.”
Ling Tianya continued to sit there without moving. Her stomach had long been protesting against her. Stomach pains did not feel good. In order to leave this place, she knew that she couldn’t be remorseful. She must maintain her energy.
However, she couldn’t just leave. She needed to walk out of this room, needed to know what place this was and needed to meet that so-called leader.
In the end, Zhang Ke could no longer remain calm. “Teacher, eat something. The leader has already agreed to meet you. I will bring you to him once you finish eating!”
They knew that by starving herself and tormenting her body, Ling Tianya was testing them and also threatening them.
However, in the end, both the leader and Zhang Ke chose to promise with her.
Now that she had received the answer she wanted, Ling Tianya’s expression didn’t change, but she was much more affirmed about her previous thoughts.
She must find out who this leader was. Not only did they know each other, but they were also quite close.
In order to quickly meet the leader of the KSI, Ling Tianya finally cooperated and ate her food.
Seeing Ling Tianya obediently take her first bite of porridge, Zhang Ke’s tightly furrowed forehead finally relaxed.
She had not eaten for so long and there was a lot of acid in her stomach. Now that Ling Tianya was suddenly eating, her stomach was not digesting it properly. She endured the protests of her stomach and drank the porridge in large mouthfuls without stopping.
After she was done eating, Ling Tianya placed down the spoon and lifted her head to look at Zhang Ke. “Take me to him.”
Ling Tianya’s gaze made Zhang Ke’s breathing slow. For some reason, she felt that Ling Tianya’s gaze was very certain and her tone steady as if she already knew who the leader was.
Then, Zhang Ke shook her head.
Impossible. How was it possible? No matter how intelligent Ling Tianya was, it would be impossible for her to know.
