The Ace Bigshot Becomes A Farmgirl

Meng Yunzheng entered the room, and Zhao Xi closed the door, immediately whispering, ”What’s going on? What’s the situation with this jackfruit?”

The staff member already in the room came over to help Meng Yunzheng remove the basket from his back.

Meng Yunzheng pulled away the cloth on top and took out a slightly smaller jackfruit, then removed a piece of clothing underneath, revealing a person beneath.

Zhao Xi stepped forward to take a look, ”Isn’t this... Ms. Wei?”

”Quick, save her first.”

Zhao Xi hastily helped, carefully lifting the person onto the bed.

With just one glance, his expression turned serious, ”How could this happen?”

”I don’t know. When I encountered her, she was hiding in the alley, covered in blood, with two stab wounds in her abdomen. I used hemostatic medicine on her, but the situation isn’t looking good.”

As Zhao Xi listened, he retrieved his medical kit and solemnly treated Ms. Wei’s wounds.

Here, Meng Yunzheng couldn’t assist for the moment, so he first changed clothes with the staff and also washed off his makeup.

The staff couldn’t stay in the room for long; once finished, he left, saying at the door, ”I’ll head out first. If the guest has any needs, feel free to seek me.”

Meng Yunzheng handed him a tael of reward, ”Bring us a basin of water, we need to wash up.”

”Alright.”

As soon as the staff left, Meng Yunzheng closed the door and asked in a low voice, ”How’s it?”

Zhao Xi’s brows furrowed tightly, ”The assailant was clearly aiming to stab her to death, judging by her scratch marks; it seems during her struggle, the stab was slightly off, avoiding vital areas. But she’s lost too much blood, it’s hard to say.”

Meng Yunzheng looked at the paper-white-faced Ms. Wei on the bed and whispered, ”If she can’t be saved, Little Song Le on that side...”

”I’ll do my best.”

The sky had completely brightened; outside, various sounds gradually emerged. Only then did the staff return with a basin of water. Meng Yunzheng asked him to relay the situation here to Shu Yu later that morning.

After busying for nearly an hour, Zhao Xi finally withdrew his hands and turned to Meng Yunzheng, saying, ”From now on, it’s up to fate. You’ve been sleepless all night; head back to your room and rest, I’ll watch over here.”

He got up to wash his hands and carried the blood-filled basin behind the screen, pouring it into the bath barrel.

This blood couldn’t be easily carried out, so for now, it had to be dealt with this way.

Meng Yunzheng nodded and was subsequently pushed out by Zhao Xi who said before closing the door, ”Hurry back to your room, I need to catch up on sleep.”

Meng Yunzheng stood silently outside for a moment, then carried the jackfruit in hand back to his room.

Upon entering, Shu Yu gently asked, ”What happened? The staff came by to tell me you brought back someone in critical condition?”

”It’s Ms. Wei.”

”Wei...” Shu Yu’s eyes widened, ”What happened to her?”

Meng Yunzheng briefly explained how he found her, ”The rest, I don’t know, we’ll have to wait until she wakes to get a clear picture.”

Just whether she can wake up or not, no one can be certain.

Meng Yunzheng, sleepless through the night, was urged by Shu Yu to rest.

By afternoon, she found an excuse to visit Zhao Xi’s room to check on Ms. Wei, who still hadn’t woken and had developed a high fever.

Shu Yu feared that if this continued, even if she woke, she might be mentally impaired by the fever.

But they had done all they could, and now it was up to her.

After some contemplation, Shu Yu recited Gouwa’s name in front of her, hoping it might help.
