Chapter 83

The moment Leng Qingqiu received the jade pendant, she felt a bit dizzy.

Lu Chengwen quickly supported her, glaring at Luo Shiyin: "What did you do?"

Luo Shiyin looked panicked: "I didn't do anything!"

Lu Chengwen angrily took the jade pendant from Leng Qingqiu's hand and shoved it into Luo Shiyin's hand: "Stay away from us!"

Luo Shiyin dropped her umbrella: "Brother, let's help Sister go rest over there."

"Let go!"

"Don't touch her!"

"Stand back!"

Luo Shiyin, like a child scolded by an adult, took a few steps back: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would turn out like this, I don't know what happened, I just wanted to help..."

At this moment, Jiang Shihan had already run over: "What's going on?"

Lu Chengwen said anxiously: "I don't know, this person must have done something!"

Luo Shiyin was extremely anxious: "I really didn't, I didn't do anything!"

Lu Chengwen walked up to her: "Don't give me that, tell me, what did you do?"

Some people nearby heard the commotion and started to gather.

They saw a few beautiful women.

One beauty had fainted, another was urgently attending to her, and the most alluring one was being scolded by a man until she was about to cry.

"Hey! Why are you being so mean to a girl?"

"Exactly, no manners at all."

"Heaven must be blind, there are still such scumbags in this world!"

Lu Chengwen looked at Luo Shiyin, feeling extremely angry.

He turned around, picked up Leng Qingqiu, and walked out quickly.

As soon as he got in the car, Lu Chengwen called Xu Xuejiao. Xu Xuejiao answered the phone, her voice cold: "Hello."

"Xuejiao, where are you?"

"What's it to you?"

"It's not that, I have a situation, I need your help!"

"Lu Young Master needs help? Should I run over and then be scolded away after helping?"

Lu Chengwen was very anxious: "I really need your help, I was wrong before, my attitude was bad, it's a matter of life and death!"

"Life and death? Did you cause a death? If it's an abortion, just go to the hospital."

Lu Chengwen said angrily: "Will you help or not?!"

Xu Xuejiao was also upset: "What are you shouting for! Why should I help you?"

"Leng Qingqiu, she was touched by a woman's jade pendant and fainted for some reason."

"That's even more none of my business, what does it have to do with me?"

Lu Chengwen hung up the phone.

Twenty minutes later, at the hospital.

Xu Xuejiao still showed up.

Lu Chengwen looked at her: "Isn't it none of your business?"

Xu Xuejiao rolled her eyes and started to examine Leng Qingqiu.

"How is she?"

"Is she okay?"

"Is she alright?"

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen: "You're being noisy."

Lu Chengwen quickly shut up and took a few steps back.

Xu Xuejiao finished examining Leng Qingqiu, checked her pupils, and listened to her heartbeat.

"She's fine, just fainted."

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao: "Oh, thank you, Doctor."

Lu Chengwen suddenly felt something was off. What does "she's fine, just fainted" mean?

Why did I call you if she's fine?

Fainting is called being fine?

Being fine means fainting!?

"Isn't there a reason for fainting?"

Xu Xuejiao said: "Other tests should be done too, Western medicine is more detailed in some areas."

Lu Chengwen said: "That's not right, you're a miraculous doctor, if there's a problem, you should be able to detect it just by taking her pulse!"

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen: "You care so much about her, do you believe me when I say she's fine? Do you think I'm harming her?"

Lu Chengwen realized Xu Xuejiao was still sulking.

[This brat, she's always messing with me, and now she's doing this.]

[She seems really upset.]

[Well, it's fine. If she really hates me, it will save us from being entangled in the future.]

Lu Chengwen didn't try to appease Xu Xuejiao.

He just said politely: "Thank you, I'm sorry for troubling you."

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen: "If Leng Qingqiu hadn't had an issue, you wouldn't have called me, right?"

Lu Chengwen looked at her: "Yes."

Xu Xuejiao was even more upset: "Do you just want me to stay far away from you and only call me when you need me?"

"I was wrong," Lu Chengwen said. "I promise, even if I need you in the future, I won't call you. If I'm so low, just hang up when I call."

Lu Chengwen finished speaking and walked out.

He called Leng Tianhao, but Leng Tianhao said to let Lu Chengwen handle it, as he was very busy and had no time.

Lu Chengwen felt he had made a redundant call.

It must be Luo Shiyin.

Could her target not be him but Leng Qingqiu?

Standing at the end of the corridor, looking at the high-rise buildings outside, Lu Chengwen fell silent.

After a while, Xu Xuejiao walked over.

Both of them were in bad moods.

Lu Chengwen was depressed about Leng Qingqiu, and Xu Xuejiao was still sulking.

Xu Xuejiao usually dressed in a youthful and vibrant style.

But today, she wore a white coat and black fitted pants, with her hair tied back in a simple ponytail, her hands in her pockets, and a calm expression.

Lu Chengwen looked at her, feeling she was completely different from before.

Today's Xu Xuejiao seemed mature, intelligent, professional, and much more stable.

A professional female doctor gave a sense of security.

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen for a long time before slowly saying: "There's a needle mark on her fingertip. I've already secretly taken a drop of her blood, hoping to detect something. The results will take some time."

Lu Chengwen shook his head: "It probably won't detect anything."

"I think it's likely a special sedative used by people in the underworld, something that can instantly make someone lose consciousness and fall into a coma. Who did it?"

"A woman."

Xu Xuejiao said: "Besides Long Aotian, have you offended any women in the underworld?"

Lu Chengwen nodded: "She's Long Aotian's subordinate."

"Why target Leng Qingqiu?"

That's right, why?

Lu Chengwen didn't understand.

Leng Qingqiu had already submitted her resignation and no longer posed any threat to Long Aotian or Leng Tianhao. Why target her?

"Is there a way?" Lu Chengwen asked.

"There is, but it will take time," Xu Xuejiao said. "But don't worry, I've already taken her pulse. The drug is mild and won't harm her. Their goal isn't to harm her, just to make her unconscious."

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao and said sincerely: "Thank you."

"I'm a doctor, it's my duty to save people, no need to thank me."

"Still, thank you."

Xu Xuejiao felt a bit wronged: "Do you like her more or me more?"

Lu Chengwen sighed: "You're both my friends. I've already talked to Leng Qingqiu today. If one day you need my help, I will do my best to be there and fulfill my duty as a friend, even if it means risking my life. But we can only be friends, and I don't want to have too much contact with you."

"Because of Long Aotian?"

"Not just him."

Lu Chengwen said: "I have a lot of trouble now, a lot. People who follow me might suffer. I don't want to involve you."

"What if I'm not afraid of being involved?"

"I am." Lu Chengwen changed the subject, admiring Xu Xuejiao: "You look very beautiful in your professional attire."

"Really?"

"Yes. Mature, stable, and very professional, giving a sense of trust."

Xu Xuejiao tilted her head, looking at Lu Chengwen: "Do you want to have an intimate encounter with a professional female doctor? I'm a real doctor, you know."

Lu Chengwen laughed.

[This brat, she starts to deviate as soon as I compliment her. I just said she looked mature, and now she's being naughty again.]

"Never mind, I'm afraid your dad will chase me with a knife."

"Afraid of him?"

"Of course, he's your dad."

"But I heard you scolded him fiercely this morning."

Lu Chengwen was taken aback: "You know?"

"You scolded my dad so badly in our living room that everyone in the house knows. How could I not know?"

"I'm sorry, I really had no choice. He wouldn't listen to me, I was trying to make him..."

"I know." Xu Xuejiao smiled: "So... from today on, we're friends?"

Lu Chengwen sighed with relief and nodded with a smile: "Good friends."

"Always support each other?"

"Of course."

"If I need your help, will you come to my aid?"

"Definitely."

Xu Xuejiao seemed to let go. She smiled and extended her hand: "Thank you, good friend."

Lu Chengwen shook her hand with great relief: "Thank you too, good friend."

Xu Xuejiao suddenly pulled Lu Chengwen and threw herself into his arms, then started screaming: "What are you doing!? Let go! You pervert!"

Lu Chengwen immediately knew he had been tricked!

Doctors, nurses, patients, and family members in the corridor all looked over.

Lu Chengwen quickly separated from her. Xu Xuejiao took a few steps back, leaning against the wall, looking like she was about to cry: "What are you doing? This is a hospital! Even if you want to bully me, you can't do it here!"

Lu Chengwen was speechless.

[This little troublemaker is such a good actor!]

[Her calm expression, with that sense of loss, despair, and resignation, made it feel like a breakup scene, making me feel guilty for a moment!]

[And then she pulls this! Now I can't explain myself even if I jump into the Yellow River.]

Several nurses quickly ran over, protecting Xu Xuejiao and scolding Lu Chengwen:

"How can you do this? This is a hospital?"

"I don't care if you're some young master from a powerful family, this is the Xu family's private hospital, you can't act like this here! Show some respect!"

Lu Chengwen had to awkwardly explain: "It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."

"What misunderstanding! We saw it clearly! Get out, leave now, or we'll call the police!"

Lu Chengwen kept explaining, seeing Xu Xuejiao behind the crowd, shaking her head, sticking out her tongue, and rolling her eyes, making him want to grab her and spank her.

At this moment, his phone rang. It was Leng Qingqiu's number.

Lu Chengwen answered, and Luo Shiyin's voice came through.

"Brother, do you want to save Leng Qingqiu?"

Lu Chengwen's face turned serious: "What are you planning?"

"Come to the presidential suite at the Junli Hotel, and by the way, you'll have to pay for the suite."

Luo Shiyin hung up the phone.
