Chapter 878: Update Tomorrow At Midnight
Han Xuan was unable to fall asleep. Although it was already night time, she did not feel sleepy at all.
Zhou Yao’s decision was firm, and she was going to be sent away tomorrow.
Was she really going to leave?
She was called back by Director Yang, and it was also possible for her not to leave.
But what could she do here if she stayed behind?
At this moment, a hurried red police warning rang out in her ears, and the warning was triggered.
She leaped up from the bed immediately before she stepped down and opened the door. She ran outside, and there were many soldiers running outside. She grabbed one as she asked, “What is going on?”
“Someone tried to break out of jail, and someone died.”
Someone died?
Who died?
Han Xuan let go of the soldier and ran over to the jail cell.
When she ran over to the gate, the gates were already cordoned off with white police tape. Director Yang was conversing with two people who had blue lanyards on their necks. Han Xuan just had a glance and knew that those two people were sent by the people on top.
One of the people with the blue lanyard took out a document, and Director Yang accepted it and signed his name.
It was a death certificate.
The two people with the blue lanyard walked out.
The forensic investigator was combing through the scene. Han Xuan had a look inside. Zhou Yao was standing tall before a white stretcher. The Flaming Forces soldiers were all standing behind him, and the atmosphere was extremely grim.
Han Xuan’s eyes lit up. She had already predicted what had happened, and she felt that her heart was about to pop out of its place. Was…was Leng Zhiyuan dead?
She stopped breathing and looked over at the stretcher. Her face was already pale and green, and there were coagulated blood stains on her chest.
Leng Zhiyuan was dead?
Leng Zhiyuan was dead!
Director Yang walked over to Zhou Yao’s side. He stretched his hand out to pat Zhou Yao’s shoulder as he said, “People cannot come back after dying. Condolences to you. You made the right choice. The moment she escaped jail, the consequences would be unthinkable. She left like this. Although it is a pity, everything would end with her passing…”
Zhou Yao did not say anything. He lowered his gaze to look at Leng Zhiyuan’s features, and it was just as if he could not get enough of her.
At this moment, the forensic investigator walked over and asked Director Yang for directions. “Director, how are we going to handle this?”
Director Yang let out a sigh and said, “We will go along with the procedures.”
“Okay.” The forensic investigator called two people over and wanted to lift the stretcher away.
But Zhou Yao bent over, and he carried Leng Zhiyuan up from the stretcher into his arms before he headed outside without saying a single word.
“Zhou Yao, what are you doing?” Director Yang asked quickly.
Zhou Yao did not stop in his tracks and only left with one sentence, “She belongs to me.”
“This…” The forensic investigator was in a dilemma as he looked over at Director Yang.
Director Yang knew that Zhou Yao’s heart ached, so he succumbed and said, “Forget it; let him be.”
Han Xuan looked on as Zhou Yao carried Leng Zhiyuan. As he walked over, she said, “Older Brother Zhou…”
It was just as if Zhou Yao did not see her, and he carried Leng Zhiyuan up directly as they left.
…
Leng Zhiyuan slowly opened her eyes. The light in the room was amber and warm. It was not piercing to the eyes, but she was still not used to the light as she blinked her long eyelashes.
There was something wet on her face. It was just as if there was someone using a towel to wipe her face gently. She looked over, Zhou Yao’s handsome face barged into her line of vision.
“Wifey, you are awake now?” Zhou Yao stretched his hand out to ruffle her hair, and his gaze was full of gentleness.
Leng Zhiyuan stood up. Her chest was hurting, so she raised her eyebrows.
Zhou Yao quickly placed a soft pillow behind her back and let her lean against it as he said, “The doctor just came over to help you bandage it. Your wound is doing okay, but you have to rest for some time.”
“Okay.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head, and she had a look at the surroundings inside the room. She was in the Leng family villa, and she was finally back.
There were two others standing by the side of her bed. One was tall, and another was petite. They were probably afraid of disturbing her, so the both of them did not say anything.
As she looked over, Leng Hao took a step forward and said, “Zhiyuan, how do you feel?”
“Older Brother, I am fine.”
“You are still saying that you are fine? Zhiyuan, you are way too daring. Although there is a fake death pulse in the human heart, only people with superb shooting skills would be able to shoot such a shot, but if there had been a slight difference, you would have died, you and Zhou Yao are really…”
“Older Brother, I am doing fine now, right? Furthermore.” Leng Zhiyuan had a look at Zhou Yao by her side as she said, “Hey, are you still worried?”
Zhou Yao sat down by the side of the bed. His right arm was curled around her waist, and he acted as if there was no one by their side as he kissed her directly.
Leng Zhiyuan gave him a displeased glance immediately.
Leng Hao saw his younger sister behaving so lovingly with her husband, and he was relieved as he heaved out a breath of air. “Zhiyuan, although your death has settled this matter, you are already a dead person right now. There is no longer a Leng Zhiyuan anymore. The moment you appear before everyone, I am afraid that there will be more problems. Zhiyuan, Older Brother will help you go overseas, okay?”
Leng Zhiyuan curled the corners of her lips up as she said, “Older Brother, this matter is extremely complicated. The moment it dies down, it will be hard for us to reopen the case again. Furthermore my death has already been certified and stamped. As long as Older Brother sends someone to delete everything about my background and create a new identity for me, there are too many people who resemble one another on earth. Even if I appear, those people would not be able to create much trouble.”
Leng Hao contemplated for a moment, and he said, “Sure, I will go and do it right now. Even if those people want to stir up more trouble, they would also need time to do so. We will slowly discuss the future.”
“Okay.” Leng Zhiyuan nodded her head.
“Then you can rest well now. We will go out first.” Leng Hao turned around and left.
Leng Hao turned around and gave Ye Xiaotao, who was by his side, a hint with his gaze, intending for her leave together with him, but Ye Xiaotao did not see it at all. She’d finally found a chance to talk.
She sat down on the bed immediately and excitedly said, “Older Sister Leng, this is great. You are finally okay now. You did not know when Major General Zhou carried you back, you scared me so much that I almost peed my pants. You were in a coma for a long time, and I was worried that you would be just like Dad and enter a vegetative state. Thankfully, you woke up. If not…”
“Ye Xiaotao!” Leng Hao stretched his hand out to pull her as he said, “Are you done talking? If that’s enough, let’s go. let Zhiyuan rest properly.”
Ye Xiaotao crashed into Leng Hao’s embrace abruptly, and she quickly stretched her hand out to push him. This man was extremely irritating, and she said, “Aiya, let go of me. I have not finished my words yet. You interrupted me. You are so rude.. Ay, oy oy oy!”
Leng Hao forcefully pulled her in his embrace and pushed her out the door.
“Older Sister Leng!”
The helper closed the door, but Leng Zhiyuan could hear Ye Xiaotao’s unhappy screams coming from outside the door clearly. She curled the corners of her lips up. Ye Xiaotao was really a ball of happiness.
At this moment, the man’s warm broad chest came over, and she was tightly embraced in his arms. Her cheeks felt itchy, and his thin lips nudged her together with the stubble on his chin as he said, “You are happy?”
Her heart was all warm, and she turned her gaze over to the side to look at the man as she questioned him back, “I managed to make it out alive; could it be that you are unhappy about that?”
