Chapter 56: : Injured

“Take him to the police station.” Lu Qingyun’s gaze swept coldly over the man who had been knocked unconscious by his kick.

“Yes, but your injury…” Xiao Liu looked at Lu Qingyun with concern.

“It’s nothing. Deal with him first.” He had suffered more serious injuries on missions.

Besides, he was grateful that he was the one who was injured.

Xiao Liu could only go and deal with the man first.

Ling Yao also quickly helped Lu Qingyun and walked towards her house.

Along the way, Lu Qingyun endured the pain, not letting Ling Yao see his suffering.

Ling Yao helped Lu Qingyun to her house. She opened the door and helped him into her room.

She didn’t care about reputation or innocence anymore. She just wanted to treat Lu Qingyun’s wound as soon as possible.

If Lu Qingyun hadn’t protected her, it would have been her who was injured today.

“Yaoyao.” Ling Xuemei heard the commotion and called out to Ling Yao.

“Mom, I’m fine. Go back to sleep.” Ling Yao quickly took out the first aid kit and treated Lu Qingyun’s wound.

She first used scissors to carefully cut open the back of Lu Qingyun’s shirt. Then, she used saline solution to clean the wound and applied burn ointment.

This burn ointment was made with herbs from her space. Sometimes, her mother would get burned while cooking, so she made some in case of emergencies.

Ling Yao gently applied the burn ointment to Lu Qingyun. His back was burned by sulfuric acid, and some parts had already blistered,

 “Brother Lu, I’m sorry! It’s all because of me that you got hurt.”

Looking at Lu Qingyun’s injuries, Ling Yao’s eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

Lu Qingyun heard the slight sob in Ling Yao’s voice. He turned his head to look at her and smiled slightly,

“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. I’m glad you’re not hurt. Don’t cry.”

He endured the pain and reached out to wipe away her tears.

Ling Yao reached out and grabbed his hand, “Don’t move. Be careful of your back injury.”

Lu Qingyun shook his head and smiled. He withdrew his hand and obediently let Ling Yao treat his wound.

As the ointment was applied to his back, the burning pain was quickly replaced by a coolness.

“Where did you buy this medicine? It’s really effective.” Lu Qingyun was no longer in as much pain.

“I made it myself. I’ll give you some later.” As she applied the medicine to Lu Qingyun, she noticed several large and small scars on his body.

She knew these scars were from when he went out on missions.

These scars were like his medals, a testament to his bravery and fearlessness. Each scar was a test of life and death.

 Every mission was a testament to his unwavering belief.

She couldn’t help but sigh. Being a soldier was really not easy. They used their lives and blood to protect the peace and security of the country.

“Ling Yao, do you hate me?”

Ling Yao paused, continuing to apply the medicine, “No.” How could she hate him? She was just afraid.

 She didn’t dare to fall in love again. In her previous life, she had been hurt so badly because of her love for Gu Qingan.

 In this life, she just wanted to be alone. She didn’t want to touch that so-called love again.

“Then why won’t you talk to me?” Lu Qingyun turned to look at Ling Yao, wanting to see the true emotions in her eyes.

“I’m not ignoring you. I’m focusing all my attention on studying now. I want to get into a good university.”

 Ling Yao looked away. In this life, she just wanted to go to college and pursue her career.

“Then when you get into college, can you give me a chance?” Lu Qingyun looked at Ling Yao.

He was a stubborn person. Once he set his sights on a goal, he would go for it.

 He could feel that Ling Yao had feelings for him, but he didn’t know what reason had made her back down.

But it doesn’t matter. He will open her heart one day and make her accept him.

Ling Yao pursed her lips, not answering Lu Qingyun’s question.

She took a few bottles of medicine from the first aid kit and handed them to Lu Qingyun, “Take these. This bottle is burn ointment.

Apply it once in the morning, afternoon, and evening. These two bottles are one for stopping bleeding and the other for injuries.

 You can apply them when you get hurt.” These medicines were all made with herbs from her space.

These past few days, she would enter the space every night to practice alchemy.

Although she hadn’t successfully refined a single pill yet, she had accumulated a lot of experience. She believed that success was not far away.

“Thank you!” Lu Qingyun didn’t hesitate to accept the medicine, “Which university do you want to go to?”

“Peking University.” Ling Yao’s goal was Peking University. When she got into Peking University, she would take her mother to Beijing to settle down.

 She also wanted to buy a few courtyards in Beijing.

 In ten years, the price of courtyards would skyrocket. Some would even reach hundreds of millions of yuan.

Since heaven had given her a second chance in the 1980s, she naturally had to seize this opportunity and change her and her mother’s lives.

“I wish you success!”

“Thank you!”

After the medicine on his back dried, Lu Qingyun sat up and put on his jacket, “I’ll go back now. I’ll pick you up after school tomorrow.”

“I’ll see you off.” Ling Yao was a little worried about Lu Qingyun.

“It’s okay. Xiao Liu will come to pick me up. Get some rest early. You have school tomorrow.”

 Lu Qingyun’s eyes, as deep and clear as a lake, held a gentle smile. He really wanted to rub Ling Yao’s fluffy little head and feel what it was like.

Ling Yao saw Lu Qingyun to the door. She saw Xiao Liu waiting outside, “Be careful.”

“Okay. I’m going back. See you tomorrow.” Lu Qingyun glanced at Ling Yao and strode forward.

Ling Yao watched Lu Qingyun’s back until he and Xiao Liu disappeared into the darkness. Then, she slowly looked away, closed the door, and returned to her room.

The air was still filled with the smell of medicine, mixed with a faint, refreshing scent of bamboo. It was Lu Qingyun’s scent.

She sighed and flashed into the space. Today’s events had been a big shock to her. She also realized Lu Qingyun’s feelings for her. But she couldn’t take that step yet.

“How’s the investigation going?” Lu Qingyun’s voice was filled with a cold chill. How could he let that person get away with doing that to Ling Yao?

“It was Jiang Rou from the Jiang family who ordered it. Earlier, Comrade Ling Yao had some trouble with Jiang Rong from the Jiang family at school.

Jiang Rong had her uncle use his authority to fire Ling Yao. Later, Jiang Rong’s uncle was reported and put away.

The Jiang family suspected that Comrade Ling Yao was involved and paid someone to deal with Comrade Ling Yao.”

“The Jiang family can disappear.” Lu Qingyun’s face, hidden in the night light, had a faint coldness. His eyes were icy. He never showed mercy to his enemies.

“Yes!”

The lights were still on in the Jiang family’s house. Jiang Rou and Jiang Rong were waiting for a call in the living room.

“Sister, will that person really be able to deal with Ling Yao?” Jiang Rong was a little worried.

She felt that the current Ling Yao was different from the Ling Yao who used to be bullied. She couldn’t see through her.
