Chapter 1091: Chapter 1061: Sudden Upheaval
On Earth, in the kitchen of Lin Yi’s villa, the fiancée of Shen Yanhua (Xiao He) was currently preparing dinner for Guo Shaojie and others with an older woman.
As they chatted idly, Jiang Jiaying suddenly said:
"Auntie, I heard that your eldest son is already preparing for his wedding. Have you set the date for the banquet?"
The woman, skillfully cleaning abalone, replied with a wide smile:
"Yes, yes."
"The ’Old Immortal’ from my hometown said the 12th of next month is a good day."
"So I’m planning to ask for a few days off from Boss Lin and go back to handle it."
Hearing this, Jiang Jiaying seemed as excited as if she were getting married herself and quickly said:
"That’s great."
"If possible, we’d love to come and share in the joy!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then excitedly asked:
"Really?"
But thinking about the identities of Lin Yi and others, she immediately dismissed the beautiful ’fantasy’ and said:
"No, no."
"Everyone’s identity is so special; I haven’t even told my son where I work."
"If you all come, it might cause unnecessary trouble for you."
"Better not."
Jiang Jiaying couldn’t help but smile at the woman’s words and said:
"Brother Lin Yi and the others aren’t like that."
"I believe when Brother Lin Yi hears about this, he will definitely come to support Aunt Liu."
Despite the words, the woman still looked fearful and said:
"It’s better not."
"You’ve helped my family enough already."
"I can’t trouble you even more over this."
"It’s just a meal. I’ll make you one when I get back."
Just as the woman said this, she suddenly clutched her chest in pain:
"Ugh~"
This sudden change caused the scissors in her hand to fall into the water basin:
"Splash~"
Seeing this, Jiang Jiaying was instantly alarmed.
Seeing the woman falling backward, Jiang Jiaying quickly put down what she was doing and rushed over:
"Aunt Liu, what’s wrong?"
She hurriedly supported the woman, trying to get her to the side to rest.
But the woman suddenly lost consciousness, her whole body pressing down on Jiang Jiaying’s slim figure, causing them both to fall to the ground.
Seeing the unconscious woman, Jiang Jiaying shouted in panic:
"Aunt Liu!"
But the woman showed no reaction whatsoever.
Soon after, Jiang Jiaying felt something sticky on her hand...
She lifted it up to look:
"Ah!!"
It was covered in blood.
Within moments, tears poured out of Jiang Jiaying’s eyes uncontrollably.
She struggled to her feet, frantically searching for the bleeding spot, her tears falling like rain:
"Aunt Liu, please don’t let anything happen, sob sob~"
Soon, she found a small bleeding hole on the woman’s chest, blood continuously seeping out.
Jiang Jiaying had never seen such a scene before and ran clumsily to get the first aid kit.
She quickly grabbed some gauze and pressed it against the wound.
At this moment, Jiang Jiaying couldn’t even begin to think about how the wound appeared. She instinctively prepared to pull out her phone to call for help.
But then she suddenly remembered the special nature of the villa and Lin Yi’s previous instructions.
With trembling hands, Jiang Jiaying deleted the emergency number and replaced it with a contact labeled ’Huazi’:
"Beep~"
"Beep~"
"Beep~"
...
Holding the phone, Jiang Jiaying seemed on the verge of collapse and shouted:
"Pick up, pick up the phone!!!"
At this moment, unable to log into the game, Guo Shaojie and others had gone out shopping.
Now, only Jiang Jiaying and the woman were left in the villa to prepare dinner.
The moment the call connected, Jiang Jiaying could no longer hold on and broke down:
"Where are you, come back quickly!!! Aunt Liu is in trouble."
...
...
Within minutes after the call ended, several cars roared to a stop at the villa’s entrance like wild beasts.
Guo Shaojie and others rushed in frantically:
"Where is she?"
"Where, what happened."
Seeing these people appear, Jiang Jiaying quickly ran out and said:
"Quick, in the kitchen!"
Just as she finished speaking, her body went limp, and Shen Yanhua quickly rushed forward to support her.
Looking at the bright red blood on Jiang Jiaying, Shen Yanhua’s heart trembled violently:
"What’s going on, are you okay?"
Guo Shaojie, on the other hand, led the charge toward the kitchen.
They saw a woman leaning against the corner of the wall, surrounded by crimson blood.
Without a second thought, Guo Shaojie scooped her up:
"Quick!"
He then placed her on the sofa in the living room.
Shangguan Yue grabbed a medical kit from the side, expertly stopping the bleeding from the woman’s wound, and instructed:
"Open all the windows for ventilation, everyone step back."
After checking the woman’s condition, Shangguan Yue was somewhat incredulous:
"The situation seems just like Ian’s."
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the unconscious Jade Qilin Ian in Dongfang Jing’s arms, all with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
Right now, a bandage applied by Shangguan Yue covered Ian’s abdominal wound.
Jade Qilin, moments ago, was happily playing in the car but suddenly fainted in pain.
The wound appeared at that moment as well.
What left everyone incredulous was that Ian’s incident occurred shortly after Jiang Jiaying had finished her phone call.
Ouyang Hao, arriving upon hearing the news, was worried upon seeing this scene:
"What’s going on here?"
Shangguan Yue suggested:
"Should we have a specialized hospital conduct further checks?"
"It’s useless!"
Dongfang Jing suddenly shook his head, his face heavy with concern:
"Prepare to wake Lin Yi."
Just as he finished speaking, Dongfang Jing suddenly shuddered, his expression drastically changing:
"Where’s Xinying?"
Shangguan Yue was startled by Dongfang Jing’s grim expression and quickly replied:
"She should be in the room reading."
Dongfang Jing swiftly handed the Jade Qilin to the approaching Ouyang Hao and turned to quickly run towards Zhang Xinying’s room, leaving behind the words:
"You come along too."
The crowd, witnessing Dongfang Jing’s frantic demeanor, looked at each other in dismay.
This was likely the first time since knowing Dongfang Jing that they had seen her so anxious.
What on earth could have made Dongfang Jing so tense?
...
...
Not long after leaving the villa, Dongfang Jing appeared outside Zhang Xinying’s room:
"Click~"
When Dongfang Jing opened the door, she saw Zhang Xinying sitting on the balcony, staring blankly at the blood on her hands.
At the same time, Zhang Xinying was startled by Dongfang Jing’s action of opening the door, and looked at Dongfang Jing in surprise:
"Sister Jing, why are you here?"
Without a word, Dongfang Jing approached Zhang Xinying and grabbed her arm:
"Where’s this blood from?"
Just after speaking, Dongfang Jing noticed the bloodstain on the other side of Zhang Xinying’s neck.
Zhang Xinying, still a little dazed, looked at Dongfang Jing:
"What’s wrong?"
"Your face doesn’t look too good, Sister Jing."
Dongfang Jing directly took Zhang Xinying’s hand and said:
"Something might have happened to Lin Yi."
"What?!"
Zhang Xinying’s eyes widened in shock, then she urgently asked:
"What happened to him?"
Instead of explaining further, Dongfang Jing pulled Zhang Xinying’s hand and said:
"Come with me."
When Ouyang Hao and others noticed the scar on Zhang Xinying’s neck, they were startled.
Fortunately, Dongfang Jing was there to reassure them:
"She’s okay for now."
Upon hearing the words ’for now’, far from being relieved, everyone’s hearts jumped:
"What do you mean by ’okay for now’?"
Guo Shaojie seemed to have an idea and asked:
"Does this have something to do with Ian and Aunt Liu?"
Only then did Zhang Xinying learn about the Jade Qilin’s condition, and she became tense:
"Ian?"
"What happened to him?"
Shangguan Yue approached Zhang Xinying, explaining what had happened previously while carefully tending to Zhang Xinying’s wound, curiously asking:
"Sister Xinying, how did you get this injury?"
Dongfang Jing:
"It was him."
"What?"
Shangguan Yue looked up at Dongfang Jing, only to see Dongfang Jing was staring at Lin Yi, who was in the gaming pod, suddenly exhaling a long breath:
"There’s something... you might need to decide for yourselves."
