Chapter 243: It really was you
The assassin somehow discovered that Ji Mei had regained consciousness, so without saying a word, he knocked her unconscious again, saying impatiently, "What a nuisance." Only after she was unconscious again did he carry her on his way.
When Lu Yu woke up, he was about to get up, but when he touched his wound, he had no choice but to lie down again. He looked around at his surroundings. It wasn't his home, but it felt familiar, as if he had been here before. Just as he was trying to remember, the door was pushed open, and a woman walked in.
She brought the medicine over to Lu Yu and said, "Brother Lu, do you still remember me?" Her voice was so sweet it could melt your bones.
But Lu Yu remained unmoved and asked, "And you are...? Don't you remember me?"
Lu Yu thought for a moment, then shook his head. "I'm sorry, I really don't remember, but thank you for saving me, young lady." At that moment, another person pushed the door open and came in. When he saw that person, his memories came flooding back.
"It's you?" Lu Yu said to the person who came. "Oh, I remember now, you are that father and daughter." Qin Fang was a little unhappy that he only remembered her after seeing her father, but at least it reminded him of her.
That's right, it's the same doctor who treated Lu Yu before.
"That's right, it was me. I was on my way back from treating a patient when I found you lying unconscious with serious injuries, so I brought you back to treat you." The doctor said with a smile, "Here, drink your medicine first. Xiao Fang, take it to Young Master Lu!"
Qin Fang, being quite sensible, carried the medicine bowl to Lu Yu's side, intending to feed him. Unexpectedly, Lu Yu turned his head away unappreciatively and said, "I appreciate Miss Qin's kindness, but I still prefer to do it myself."
Despite his refusal, Qin Fang persisted, saying, "But what about the injury on your arm..."
"It's alright," Lu Yu interrupted her directly, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. Doctor Qin knew that her daughter was interested in Lu Yu, so she sent Qin Fang to prepare food while she stayed behind to test Lu Yu.
"Young Master Lu, I didn't know you were seriously injured again. And where is your wife?"
Lu Yu didn't mind telling him the truth, so he said directly, "My wife and I were being chased again. If I were only using my martial arts skills, I could protect myself, but I had to ensure Mei Qing's safety. I made a mistake and got injured, and Mei Qing was taken away by him. My most urgent task now is to save her." The more Lu Yu spoke, the more uneasy he felt, so he hurriedly got up to go out, but before he could even get out of bed, he aggravated his wound and couldn't help but hiss.
Seeing this, Doctor Qin stepped forward and pressed him back onto the bed. "Young Master Lu, your injuries are still very serious." Lu Yu pressed several acupoints to stop the pain and then got out of bed.
"Doctor, I know my injuries are serious, but Meiqing is in critical condition. I can't just stand by and do nothing. Don't worry about me, I won't go to save her alone. I'm just going to report this to the authorities; I have plenty of evidence here." Lu Yu finished speaking and left. Doctor Qin knew he couldn't stop him, so he didn't. Instead, he waited until Lu Yu was out of sight before saying to his retreating figure, "Do you think I wanted to stop you? If my daughter didn't have feelings for you, I wouldn't have bothered with this."
When Qin Fang brought in the food, her happy face immediately fell when she saw that her father was the only one in the room.
"Father, where is Brother Lu?" Qin Fang knew the outcome, but she still hoped to hear it with her own ears. Perhaps this is the most contradictory aspect of human existence.
"Daughter, I advise you to forget him as soon as possible. If any longer, he won't even remember who you are. His heart belongs only to Ji Meiqing." Doctor Qin patted his daughter's shoulder and then left.
The food in Qin Fang's hands fell to the ground, and she clenched her fists in resentment.
When Ji Meiqing woke up again, it took her a long time to adjust to the light. She looked around; everything was unfamiliar. There was no one there, but she still couldn't escape, as she was completely tied to a pillar and couldn't move, except for her neck. She twisted her neck, and the pain immediately made her furrow her delicate brows.
He muttered, "Why did you have to hit my neck? You should have told me sooner, or I could have just pretended to be unconscious."
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, Ji Meiqing's stomach was growling and no one came. So she imitated the heroine in an old TV drama and called out, "Hey, is anyone there?" No one responded.
Just as Ji Meiqing was about to fall asleep from hunger, the door opened, and a bright, blinding light shone in. Unable to cover her eyes, Ji Meiqing closed them. By the time her eyes adjusted, the culprit who had kidnapped her was already standing before her.
"Tian Cuiwei, it really is you. Let go of me right now," Ji Meiqing said to the person who came.
Tian Cuiwei sat on the stool that the servants had brought for her and said sarcastically, "Ji Meiqing, are you dreaming? To get rid of you, I even gave up Brother Lu. You want me to let you go? How can you say that?"
The mere mention of Lu Yu filled Ji Meiqing with worry. When she was captured, her brother Lu was seriously injured, and she wondered how he was doing now.
Seeing that Ji Meiqing was ignoring her and was lost in thought, Tian Cuiwei stepped forward and slapped her. "You're about to die, and you're still ignoring me."
Ji Meiqing silently made a mental note of it. If she could get out safely this time, she would definitely settle accounts with them. She glanced at Ji Tianzhuo and, not seeing him, asked, "Where's Ji Tianzhuo? Instead of nagging me here, why don't you go check on him, lest he fall for some other woman again?"
Tian Cui smiled slightly. This time, she didn't make a move. "Ji Meiqing, are you still trying to sow discord? This operation was approved by Tian Zhuo and I was in charge. He's just too busy right now. With you all gone, his business is naturally too busy. You must be very curious as to why I didn't kill you, right?"
Ji Meiqing asked, "Why? I'm still wondering. You've already harmed Brother Lu, yet you're keeping me alive."
Tian Cuiwei was furious at her nonchalant expression. However, the girl was now in her hands, and killing her would be as easy as crushing an ant. She calmed herself and said, "Because you are, after all, a member of the Ji family. As long as you wholeheartedly help the Ji family, you can still live."
Ji Meiqing smiled sarcastically. "I've already said that I have nothing to do with the Ji family anymore. Why should I help the Ji family? Especially a group of people who want to kill my husband and me."
Seeing that Ji Meiqing was so stubborn, Tian Cuiwei knew there was no point in trying. She didn't want Ji Meiqing to die so easily, but to avoid any unforeseen complications, she turned her back, closed her eyes, and thought for a while. When she opened her eyes again, she waved to the people beside her, signaling them to act. They quickly understood her meaning, and one of the men, who looked very strong, grabbed her by the neck.
