The Daughter of the Enchanted in the Modern Age

Chapter 195

"You really ..." Jun Shiling sighed helplessly and pinched Xia Wanyuan's face very gently. “I'll go to work first. Sleep for a while.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. As he lay under the covers, his cold eyes softened in front of Jun Shiling.

Jun Shiling stroked Xia Wanyuan's hair comfortably, kissed her forehead, and left the ward.

Lin Jing stood outside the door. Seeing that Jun Shiling finally came out and saw the gentleness on his face, waves surged in his heart, but his face was expressionless.

“The person in charge who brought Madam to the limestone cave is already in our hands. He ran out very early and someone prepared a passport for him beforehand. He will fly overseas when we catch him at the airport.”

"Mm, did he say anything?" 

Thinking of how this fellow had harmed Xia Wanyuan, a cold glint flashed in Jun Shiling's eyes.

"Not yet." 

Lin Jing thought that this person's mouth was still quite loud. He could not open it no matter what.

"I'll go and see it." Jun Shiling led Lin Jing to the secret prison in Lin Xi City.

In the basement, the originally well-dressed person had been beaten until he was injured. However, with the best medical team by his side, no matter how badly he was beaten, doctors could save him in the shortest time possible and keep him awake.

"Get out." 

Jun Shiling sat in a chair in front of the person in charge. Lin Jing waved her hand and told the others to leave.

When the person in charge heard the commotion, he saw a very familiar and cold-looking man sitting in front of him. He thought hard for a while and remembered that this was Jun Shiling, the richest man in China.

"Say, who sent you?" Jun Shiling's cold voice made the responsible heart turn cold.

“Pfft, I've said it many times. I was instructed by the old shareholders of Glory World Corporation to help them kill Xuan Sheng. That's the answer no matter how you ask me.”

“How much is your level below Old K? level 6? Level 7?” 

Jun Shiling completely ignored the words of the person in charge and asked him, as he stared at the person in charge with his cold eyes.

The person in charge is already under tremendous pressure. Under Jun Shiling's extremely oppressive gaze, he was stunned for a moment.

At that moment, Jun Shiling saw respect and panic flashed in his eyes.

“Who's Old K? I don't know what you're talking about.” The person in charge did not dare to look Jun Shiling in the eyes again and retract his gaze.

Jun Shiling suddenly stood up, walked up to the person in charge, and stomped on the joint between his fingers.

The excruciating pain made the one in charge scream. He could not help but stare at Jun Shiling furiously.

The gentleness that Jun Shiling had in front of Xia Wanyuan completely disappeared, replaced by a bloodthirsty dark light.

"You shouldn't have hurt him," Jun Shiling said softly.

The one in charge had received a rigorous training. He, who did not feel fear under the countless torments, could actually feel fear and death under Jun Shiling's gaze.

“View in Donke is not bad.” Jun Shiling suddenly changed the topic and said something unrelated, but the eyes of the person in charge suddenly widened.

"What do you mean?!" The person in charge finally sounded a little panicked.

"Not much. I originally wanted you to explain more.” Jun Shiling removed the switch and glanced at the one in charge calmly. 

“But you hurt him. You deserve to die.”

When he met Jun Shiling's gaze, the heart in charge skipped a beat.

After leaving the basement, Jun Shiling frowned slightly.

Why did Old K help Xia Wanyuan? Could it be that Xia Wanyuan's identity has been revealed?

No. gabe. Jun Shiling quickly rejected this thought.

If Xia Wanyuan's identity was revealed, then they would have to capture her alive and not kill her.

But now, they actually wanted to kill Xia Wanyuan. Which means there's another reason. Whatisit?

“Young Master, the victims in the city have settled well. The higher-ups have sent people to ask if the people in the surrounding military district can return first.”

"certain. Leave a small number of people to help. The rest can go.”

Jun Shiling gave the order and the team stationed in Lin Xi City started moving out with Lin Xi City as the center. The entire Lin Xi City began to systematically recover.

Jun Shiling returned to the ward, but he did not see Xia Wanyuan.

"Miss Xia went to visit Mr. Xuan." The nurse helped Xia Wanyuan tidy up the bed. Seeing Jun Shiling enter, he hurriedly explained to him.

Xuan Sheng's?

Jun Shiling wanted to look for Xia Wanyuan, but his steps came to a halt.

Logically speaking, he should be thanking Xuan Sheng. Xia Wanyuan was severely dehydrated. Even the doctor said that if Xuan Sheng did not give his blood to Xia Wanyuan, he would not survive until they came to his rescue.

Although he had mixed feelings, Jun Shiling still chose to trust Xia Wanyuan.

In the ward next door, Xuan Sheng, who was well taken care of, slowly recovered.

Xuan Sheng, who usually had an evil expression on his face, looked much friendlier than usual in his hospital gown.

"How's your leg?" Xuan Sheng was still a little dizzy. Seeing Xia Wanyuan coming, he supported himself to sit down.

“Nothing serious.” The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards Xuan Sheng's bed. "How are you?"

"Not good." Xuan Sheng's peach-shaped eyes curved into familiar arches. 

“It hurts everywhere. I need your comfort, Miss Xia.”

He was unconscious at that time and did not know that Xuan Sheng had used his blood to save him. He only knew about it after Jun Shiling told him.

“Actually, I don't want you to thank me at all.” Xia Wanyuan's words of gratitude firmly separated the two of them.

“Rest well.” Xia Wanyuan was not stupid. Although Xuan Sheng had always liked to joke around and his words were mixed with truth and falsehood, he could feel Xuan Sheng's feelings for him.

However, since he had chosen Jun Shiling, he would not allow others to have hope.

“Mm.” Xuan Sheng nodded and looked at Xia Wanyuan almost greedily.

The nurse pushed Xia Wanyuan towards the door, but Xia Wanyuan suddenly thought of something and gestured for the nurse to push her back.

Xuan Sheng, who was lying on the bed with his head lowered, did not expect Xia Wanyuan to return. He looked at her confused.

“You are a very good person. You do not have to bear the consequences of the mistakes of others.”

Xuan Sheng was stunned for a moment before he smiled. 

"Miss Xia, you gave me a good man's card."

Xia Wanyuan did not speak. He already said what he wanted to say. The nurse pushed him out the door. Behind him, Xuan Sheng stopped smiling. He silently watched Xia Wanyuan leave and thought for a long time.

Jun Shiling waited in the ward for a long time, but Xia Wanyuan did not return.

Jun Shiling had always been strong and confident, but in front of Xia Wanyuan, all of his defenses were useless.

Finally, as his heart sank, the door of the ward opened. Xia Wanyuan was pushed by the nurse, and Jun Shiling hurriedly walked over.

"You done yet?"

“Mm, I'm done. I'm back for dinner with you.” After expelling the nurse, Jun Shiling carefully lifted Xia Wanyuan and placed her on the bed.

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded. 

"I just went to see Xuan Sheng."

"I know." Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan arrange her blanket.

"He recovered well."

“I have arranged for a specialist to treat him. He'll be better.” After tucking in the blanket, Jun Shiling sat by the bedside and held Xia Wanyuan's hand.

Xia Wanyuan felt a bit strange. In the past, when the innocent Wei Zimu called his sister, Jun Shiling would always tease her with the word “kakak”. Why did Jun Shiling look so generous now that it was Xuan Sheng who was actually entangled with him?

Xia Wanyuan thought of something and asked directly.

Jun Shiling smiled. “I'm very grateful to him. Besides, I trust you.”

In the past, most of the time, she had only done so to tempt Xia Wanyuan. He's not really angry.

Regarding Xuan Sheng, how could he not see Xuan Sheng's feelings towards Xia Wanyuan? That day, when the passageway opened, the sight of blood on the ground shocked him for a moment. If not for Xuan Sheng, he might have lost Xia Wanyuan. Hence, he thanked Xuan Sheng.

And most importantly, he was willing to trust Xia Wanyuan.

Jun Shiling's answer was expected. Xia Wanyuan stretched. 

"I want to eat an apple."

"Okay, I'll peel it for you."

Jun Shiling held a small knife and quietly peeled the skin beside the bed.

"How many people know about me in Lin Xi City?"

“Managers and grandfathers. No one else knows.”

Afraid that Xiao Bao would be sad, the old master was anxious after learning that Xia Wanyuan was buried in the mountains. However, in front of Xiao Bao, he had to pretend that nothing had happened.

As for the news from the outside world, unless Jun Shiling allowed it, no one could report on the situation in Lin Xi City.

“Then when will we return to Beijing? My injury is not too serious either.”

"Tomorrow morning." 

In the end, it was still not as comfortable as in Beijing. Xia Wanyuan's foot injury had recovered quite well. The doctor also said that it would not be a problem to escort him on his way.

After taking care of Xia Wanyuan for dinner, Jun Shiling climbed onto the bed and sat down beside her. He chatted with her for a while and told her his bedtime story. Only after coaxing him to sleep did Jun Shiling gently get off the bed and go to the next room.

“How is Brother-in-law's condition?” Bo Xiao finally contacted Jun Shiling. He wanted to burn three incense sticks for God.

“His body is recovering,” replied Jun Shiling. He frowned when he saw the background behind Bo Xiao. 

"You're not in the command center?"

“My Great Master Jun, do you think I can suppress that group of people after you leave? Without you there to suppress them, I think they can even fight in the meeting room. I discussed with the others and broke up the meeting first. I'm in Lie Dun now, and the Scorpion Poison Laboratory may be here.”

It wasn't easy for him to contact Jun Shiling. Bo Xiao wished he could pour out all his words.

“Come back to Beijing first. There's a problem with the Bo family, so don't worry about Lie Dun for now.”

"certain."
