Liu Hua was stunned. “What do you mean
“This person may look untidy, but their intentions are too obvious. It makes people suspicious that they have ulterior motives,” Xia Wan said cautiously.
Liu Hua frowned. “Aren’t you overthinking this?”
“Maybe he’s genuinely friendly and enjoys making friends?”
Xia Wan didn’t respond but secretly decided to keep her distance from Jiang Lu in the future. This was the first time she had such a feeling since her rebirth, a feeling that his motives were impure.
“What’s wrong? Did you get rejected?” A boy in black and white sportswear with a buzz cut approached Jiang Lu.
Jiang Lu nonchalantly tossed his bag to the boy. “Why do you think that?”
The boy with the buzz cut hugged his bag and looked at Jiang Lu with a pained expression. “Are you still unwilling to give up?”
“No!” Jiang Lu didn’t even turn his head. After saying that, he got into a black car parked in a distant alley.
After Xia Wan and Liu Hua parted ways, Xia Wan felt as if someone was following her. She looked around a few times but didn’t spot any suspicious figures. She quickened her pace, comforting herself.
Just as she reached her front door, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Xia Wan. Startled, she took a step back, her right hand holding a silver needle between her fingers.
Upon recognizing the person, her tense emotions relaxed significantly. “Xia Ru? What are you doing here?”
Xia Ru, who had not seen Xia Wan for a few days, appeared haggard and had lost weight. “Xia Wan, it’s all because of you! I’m going to kill you!” Xia Ru’s expression turned ferocious, and she extended her red-nailed hands to grab Xia Wan.
Xia Wan did not dodge, seemingly unconcerned about Xia Ru’s attack. Xia Ru’s hand was about to reach Xia Wan’s neck when Xia Wan quickly stabbed Xia Rut s wrists with the silver needles in her right hand.
Xia Ru’s hands instantly went limp, and her body fell forward. Xia Wan let out an “Oh” and turned her body, causing Xia Ru to fall to the ground.
Xia Wan patted her chest lightly and exhaled. “That was close, that was close. Fortunately, my reaction was fast!”
Because Xia Ru had not rested well in the past few days and was highly agitated, she had actually fainted from the fall.
Xia Wan, seeing Xia Ru lying on the ground motionless, checked her briefly and became a bit impatient. “You’re nothing but trouble!”
Although she wasn’t on good terms with Xia Ru, having her collapse at her doorstep would still invite unwanted attention.
After some thought, Xia Wan picked up her phone and made a call. “Doctor Li, I need your help.”
A while later, Doctor Li arrived with a few people in white coats.
“Miss Xia, what can I do for you?” Doctor Li no longer displayed his previous arrogance. He nodded and bowed to Xia Wan.
Since Director Zhang and the individuals behind the mental hospital had been arrested, the hospital had been closed for several days. Fortunately, someone stepped in to protect the hospital and the jobs of these employees. However, Doctor Li, lacking a medical license, could only operate in a nursing home for the time being.
Though Doctor Li didn’t know who had saved the hospital, he owed his position as the acting director of the sanatorium to Xia Wan.
“Please take this person away, Doctor Li,” Xia Wan motioned in Xia Ru’s direction. “Let her stay at your place for a few days when she wakes up.”
When Doctor Li arrived and saw someone lying on the ground, he was worried that Xia Wan might ask him to do something illegal again. Hearing that she would wake up put him at ease.
“Of course! Don’t worry, Miss Xia. I’ll take good care of her.”
Doctor Li added, “We won’t release her until you say it’s okay.”
Xia Wan nodded and signaled for Doctor Li and his team to take her away.
After Xia Ru was settled, Xia Wan saw Yan Han when she entered the room.
Upon seeing Xia Wan, Yan Han instinctively hid the objects he was holding behind his back.
Pretending not to notice, Xia Wan greeted Yan Han and then returned to her room.
Yan Han, still clutching the items, sighed as he walked out.
“How have you been lately?” Chen Mo’s voice came from the receiver. “When are you coming back?” Xia Wan asked without answering.
“What’s wrong? Do you miss me?” Chen MO sounded elated. “Yes…” Xia Wan replied, and Chen Mo ts heart skipped a beat..
