The two assassins also rushed out of the restaurant at the first mont, their eyes filled with a strong intent to kill, determined to eliminate Pingliang Xiangzhi.
Although Pingliang Xiangzhi’s two bodyguards followed them out, their speed couldn’t match that of the two assassins.
"Help, help!"
Xu Wendong shouted loudly toward the distant patrolling police officers.
In an instant.
The originally peaceful street erupted with screams.
Many bystanders were so frightened that they ran away in all directions.
The patrolling police, seeing soone committing violence on the street, had their expressions change drastically. Clearly, they hadn’t expected such a murder case to occur. Without hesitation, they imdiately pulled out their handguns and ordered the assailants to drop their daggers.
The two assassins, seeing this, imdiately turned and vanished into the crowd.
------
Xu Wendong was injured and admitted to a high-end private hospital.
This was his first ti being hospitalized.
In fact, his injuries weren’t severe.
If he wanted to, he could heal in no ti.
Of course.
He was willing to get injured.
Because with his cultivation level, if he didn’t want to be hurt, let alone a dagger, even a gun couldn’t harm him in the slightest.
The reason he got injured was simple: only this way could he win Pingliang Xiangzhi’s favor and even gain Jingbian Yudai’s trust.
In doing so, he could carry out the next part of his plan.
Yes.
Xu Wendong was even sowhat grateful for the appearance of those two assassins. Without them, he wouldn’t have been able to perform the hero-saves-the-damsel act.
"Doctor, how is Mr. Yanagida’s injury?" In the ward, Pingliang Xiangzhi looked at the attending doctor with concern and was quite worried.
The doctor smiled and said, "Miss Kaori, no need to worry. Although Mr. Yanagida was stabbed in the chest, the wound didn’t reach his internal organs. However, if the assailant’s dagger had shifted two milliters up, Mr. Yanagida might have been in grave danger."
Hearing this.
Pingliang Xiangzhi’s heart settled, and as she looked at the man lying unconscious on the hospital bed, a feeling of inexpressible gratitude welled up in her heart.
She knew Xu Wendong had saved her life.
If he hadn’t blocked that blade for her, she would have been the one dead.
At this mont.
Jingbian Yudai arrived upon hearing the news.
Before even entering the ward, he was furious and began beating the two bodyguards who were supposed to protect Pingliang Xiangzhi, blaming them for failing to protect her.
Pingliang Xiangzhi pushed the door open expressionlessly, "Lord Jingbian, this is a hospital, and Mr. Yanagida is still unconscious. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to shout like this?"
Jingbian Yudai lowered his head in sha, "Miss Kaori, today’s incident is all my fault. If I hadn’t arranged for two useless n to protect you, you wouldn’t have faced such danger!"
Pingliang Xiangzhi, who was usually gentle, revealed a penetrating glare at this mont, "Find out the culprits’ whereabouts by eight o’clock tomorrow morning. I want them brought to justice, to give Mr. Yanagida an explanation!"
Xu Wendong had been seriously injured to save her.
She must give him an explanation.
"Yes!" Jingbian Yudai agreed imdiately.
------
In the evening.
The "unconscious" Xu Wendong slowly awoke.
"Mr. Yanagida, how are you feeling now? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?" The previously listless Pingliang Xiangzhi suddenly lit up with energy, her face full of concern.
Although the doctor told her Xu Wendong’s injuries weren’t severe, she was still very worried.
Xu Wendong gave a weak smile, "I’ve been lying down for a while, I’d like to get up and move around."
"No, no," Pingliang Xiangzhi quickly said, "Your injuries aren’t very serious, but the doctor previously instructed, you must rest in bed."
"You were injured saving Kaori, so please take care of yourself. Don’t make Kaori worry, I beg you!" Saying this, she stood up and bowed deeply to Xu Wendong, her face full of pleading.
Xu Wendong was completely taken aback.
It was really hard for him to refuse the plea of a girl who cared for him.
He smiled and said, "I can promise Miss Kaori, but would you promise sothing?"
Pingliang Xiangzhi: "Please, go ahead."
"I want to eat hot pot, the kind from Great Xia, not sukiyaki." Xu Wendong had been in seclusion in the Minor World for over a month and had been craving hot pot for a long ti.
"Mr. Yanagida, please wait a mont, I will have soone prepare it." Pingliang Xiangzhi imdiately instructed the bodyguard at the door to prepare Great Xia’s hot pot, which was also one of her favorite foods from Great Xia.
An hour later.
Pingliang Xiangzhi’s bodyguard delivered a yin-yang pot, along with hot pot base and so high-quality ingredients.
Among those ingredients were several tonic items.
Such as imported oysters, abalone, sea cucumber, and others.
Considering Xu Wendong’s injury hadn’t fully healed, Pingliang Xiangzhi didn’t let him get out of bed. Instead, she placed the hot pot by the bed, cooked the ingredients, and then served them to Xu Wendong.
"Miss Kaori, thank you for your care. While I am injured, I’m not incapable of taking care of myself," Xu Wendong said, full of embarrassnt.
Pretending to be sick in front of Pingliang Xiangzhi made him feel quite guilty.
Though he was feigning illness.
Pingliang Xiangzhi’s concern for him was indisputable.
Let alone having her feed him.
Pingliang Xiangzhi also realized her actions were sowhat ambiguous, her face blushing slightly, then handed the chopsticks and bowl to Xu Wendong while she continued to cook the ingredients he wanted to eat.
Like a maid diligently serving Xu Wendong.
Xu Wendong really didn’t like this feeling.
But he also knew.
It was related to the education and culture Wa Country’s citizens received from an early age.
After the al.
Pingliang Xiangzhi even had people prepare a fruit plate for Xu Wendong, and she found a Great Xia docuntary to pass the ti.
Xu Wendong said awkwardly, "Miss Kaori, it’s getting late. Why don’t you go back and rest?"
He really wanted to get up and move around.
But with Pingliang Xiangzhi there, he couldn’t leave the bed.
Except for using the bathroom...
Pingliang Xiangzhi was resolute, "Mr. Yanagida was seriously injured saving . Kaori should stay here with you."
"Would you sit here all night?" Xu Wendong asked in astonishnt.
Though he was in the hospital’s best VIP room, unlike in Great Xia, Wa Country itself had little land area, so even VIP rooms were just standalone rooms with a private bathroom.
Unlike in Great Xia, where so VIP rooms were like high-end presidential suites, with rooms for companions to rest.
This hospital room only had a bed, a chair, and a cabinet, nothing more.
Pingliang Xiangzhi asked suspiciously, "Why can’t I stay here all night?"
Xu Wendong sighed, "Miss Kaori, as a man, how can I let a young woman sit here all night? Wouldn’t that be unchivalrous?"
Pingliang Xiangzhi hesitated, her delicate face flushing slightly, "Then can I sleep in the sa bed with you?"
