As she held her phone, her heart, which had been hanging on for an entire afternoon, slowly calmed.

Jiang Yao did not know what was going on on South Street, but Brother Ding would be killed according to the plan. Since Lu Xingzhi said that the mission was a success, Sister Wen and the others must have thought that Brother Ding was dead. Therefore, Brother Ding’s subordinates in Shu City were leaderless. In that situation, Sister Wen should be racing against time to take control of Brother Ding’s businesses.

Lu Xingzhi arrived at the hotel alone after 11 o’clock. He even brought clothes, hats, and masks for Jiang Yao to dress up before taking her to a black car parked across the road.

The driver of the car was Captain Hao, an acquaintance of Jiang Yao’s. Before Lu Xingzhi could do anything, Captain Hao drove away with Jiang Yao.

Captain Hao pointed at the paper bag on the back seat and said, “Young Master Lu has prepared supper for you in the car. We had some on the way. Brother Ding was shot twice, but his vital parts were not injured. He was picked up from the river by our people and is now in a coma. We don’t have a doctor in our team, and we can’t send him to the hospital in Shu City. We need to get him out of the city, and it will take some time. We don’t want to delay his condition, so we brought you here.”

Jiang Yao nodded. “Okay. I still need some medicine. Get someone to buy it immediately.”

Captain Hao immediately made a call and then gave the phone to Jiang Yao, asking her to tell him what medicine she needed.

Jiang Yao had all kinds of medicine in her system, but it would arouse suspicion if she took out all of them. Therefore, Jiang Yao still asked for almost all the tools and medicine that she could use for a bullet extraction surgery.

Shu City was Brother Ding’s territory, so the place that Captain Hao and the others were looking for was a very discreet residential building. It was an ancient building, and every family had their own yard. It was very discreet, and no one knew who lived there when the door was closed.

Captain Hao and Jiang Yao took a detour to get the medicine, so Lu Xingzhi was already there when they arrived. He was standing in the yard, waiting. When he heard footsteps, he quickly looked at the door. His eyes fell on Jiang Yao.

“Brother Ding is awake.” He walked forward and took the things from Jiang Yao’s hand. “Xiaomei is talking to him inside.”

Jiang Yao heard the voice and raised her eyebrows. “Talking? Are they arguing?”

Lu Xingzhi pursed his lips. They were arguing, indeed. After Brother Ding woke up, he could figure out what was going on.

Brother Ding had already been caught, so Lu Xingzhi’s identity was already exposed. Ding Xiaomei was also with Lu Xingzhi. So, Brother Ding knew that his biological daughter had betrayed him instead of Sister Wen and Wen Yunfang.

Brother Ding was probably most furious about that.

When Jiang Yao went in, Brother Ding pointed at Ding Xiaomei and scolded her for being heartless. Ding Xiaomei stood there and allowed Brother Ding to scold her. She did not say a word or refute him, but her eyes were red.

If Brother Ding were not injured, Ding Xiaomei would have scolded him even more fiercely.

When he saw someone enter the room, Brother Ding’s voice stopped. “Gu Changshu, who is that?”

Brother Ding did not recognize Jiang Yao.

Lu Xingzhi said, “A doctor. The doctor who will perform the surgery on you.”

Ding Xiaomei recognized Jiang Yao at a glance. She remembered her eyes. However, she did not expose him. Instead, she stood up and asked worriedly, “Doctor, can you heal him?”
