Chapter 144 – Irreversible Damage (不可逆傷害)

Having gotten away with her prank, Xiao Haiqing was roaring with laughter. Even Su Chu forgot about her image and was holding her belly in laughter, itching to take a picture of his current 囧 face.

However, Gan Jingchen’s character could also be considered to be magnanimous. The more chaotic the two girls were, the calmer he got. After a while, seeing that Jing Yunzhao’s attitude was not as apprehensive as before, the four of them finally sat down to have lunch and chat, the atmosphere extremely joyous.

After lunch, Jing Yunzhao received a call from Hua Zei.

Only then did she figure out that Cao Xing had been released.

Cao Xing did not commit that serious of a crime, so to be released around this period of time was normal. Just that the moment she thought about how complicated things already were, Jing Yunzhao gave a moment of silence to Qiao Hongye.

Just look at He Jiasi and one could tell she was nothing good. Now, add on Cao Xing, and maybe Qiao Hongye could not even take a step into the school gates in the future.

But just as Hua Zei hung up, Du Lin called. His voice was a little urgent, causing Jing Yunzhao to panic herself.

“Yunzhao, there’s a problem this time…” Only after Du Lin sighed and groaned for a good while, did he speak up.

Jing Yunzhao was scared by the weird feeling coming from him and asked, “What happened? Is there a problem with Yu Tian Xian’s ingredients?

If it was indeed a problem with the ingredients, then it was definitely not something caused by her. The delivery uncle was an upright and honest man, so it would be impossible for it to be him. Nine out of ten times, the problem would be Yu Tian Xian’s own staff.

However, before Jing Yunzhao could state her opinion, she heard Du Lin continue, “It’s Li Shao… He’s hospitalized, and the doctors said… Sigh… Anyway, his current state is very pitiful…”

Jing Yunzhao’s face fell. What did Li Shao’s problem have to do with her?

But after thinking about it, the memory of her kick surfaced in her mind and she felt a little guilty, “Speak clearly. Is he sick or is there some other problem?”

Right at the moment, on the other side of the phone, Du Lin was holding in his laughter and forced out a crying expression. He pulled on his vocal cords and explained, “This problem… This isn’t something that should be said aloud… Sigh, he’s just injured. It’s very serious. What should the Li Family do with their conglomerate businesses ah…”

Jing Yunzhao’s heart dropped, her expression bitter.

While her kick before might have been a bit vicious, Li Shaoyun had managed to move away a little, so she naturally thought that Li Shaoyun’s injury was not serious, plus the fact that quite some time had already passed.

But the moment she heard Du Lin cry like this, she started to doubt herself again. After all, she was someone who practised the arts, so her strength would also be different compared to normal people. Maybe, she had really caused Li Shaoyun irreversible damage then.

“Let’s do it like this then. I’ll go visit him now, which hospital?” Jing Yunzhao asked in a hurry.

At the root of it, Li Shaoyun had not only not harmed her, but he had also even given her a reminder out of goodwill. Now that things had reached this state, her heart was also a little uneasy.

Furthermore, one could tell from just Li Shaoyun’s looks that he did not lack women. If this affected his future happiness, would she not be cursed to death by those women?

After Du Lin left the address, Jing Yunzhao briefly told the other three about it before she rushed out of the house.

While on the other side, Du Lin took a deep breath after he had hung up the call, his expression as if he had committed a sin. “Li Shao, have you become black-bellied too? The little brat must be guilty to death right now.”

“Are you sure it’s guilt?” Li Shaoyun quirked his eyebrows, lips lifting into a smirk. “I think she most likely wants to look at my condition.”

“You shouldn’t be that desperate? Jing Yunzhao isn’t even 16 years old. That kind of illness, why would she want to see it?!” Du Lin just rolled his eyes. He did not realise that Li Shao was so dirty in the past!

Li Shaoyun’s gaze flitted across him and pointed at the bandage wrapped around his head, “You think too much, I mean here. When did I ask her to take a look at any of my other illnesses?”

“Then why did you still ask me to trick her…” Du Lin immediately glared at him.

“This young master is injured ah…” Li Shaoyun squinted and displayed a I-refuse-to-admit-even-if-you-kill-me attitude.
