Chapter 1630 - 1612
Han Wanwan felt a surge of joy inside as she saw Chu Ge relent, but she didn’t show any signs of it on the surface.
She cleared her throat and then said to Chu Ge, "Let’s leave it at that for now, shall we? I’ll wait for your news."
Chu Ge made a sound of agreement as he glanced at the time, realizing it was indeed late. "I’ll call you once I’ve made a decision."
With that, he got out of the car with the script in hand.
After Chu Ge left, Han Wanwan let out a long breath; she had never been so at peace with Chu Ge.
To be precise, she hadn’t been so at peace since Chu Ge returned.
Han Wanwan sighed softly, still unsure of what had happened to Chu Ge lately. He truly seemed like a completely different person.
With Chu Ge gone from her sight, Han Wanwan eventually drove away as well.
In the Eighth Space-Time.
At the hospital stairway, Su Ying was anxiously on the phone.
"That’s how it is. I’ve completed your task, but you have to pay me more! I almost lost my life! You must pay me more, or I’ll tell them everything you ordered me to do!"
What good is it if Chu Ge is handsome? His IQ seems even lower than a three-year-old’s, no different from a simpleton!
Most importantly, he also has violent tendencies! She’s still fearful up to this point, almost losing her life, she must demand some compensation.
Not sure what was said on the other end, Su Ying hesitatingly spoke again, "The hospital has arranged for Chu Ge to be discharged, so I can’t keep up the surveillance task anymore."
At the same time, Wen Zaao came out of the doctor’s office. Because Chu Ge had caused trouble multiple times, the hospital decided not to let him stay any longer and made a last-minute decision for his discharge.
Wen Zaao first called the laundry to inform them to pick up clothes in the morning, and then strolled back. Hearing a noise at the stairway, she glanced sideways and saw Su Ying stride in, nearly bumping into her.
"Sorry." Su Ying apologized with her head down, then turned and left briskly. As she passed by Chu Ge’s ward, she paused slightly, glanced inside, and emitted a disdainful snort.
Wen Zaao stood behind her, hearing her sneer, somewhat speechless. This nurse...
No, it’s a caretaker! She was wearing caretaker’s clothes.
"Stop right there!"
Suddenly, a clear voice echoed as Chu Ge appeared at the doorway, calling out to Su Ying.
Su Ying halted, looked back at him, her eyes filled with alertness, "Do you need something?"
"Cause trouble, and you want me to take the blame?" Chu Ge stood with arms crossed, leaning against the doorframe.
Wen Zaao was stunned. Causing trouble? Taking the blame? What does that mean?
Su Ying’s eyes flickered slightly, "I don’t understand what you’re saying!"
His dark eyes shimmered with a mysterious and dangerous light, "You’ve entered my ward twice and caused this trouble. Now you want to flee and have me take the fall?"
Chu Ge might not understand these modern high-tech things, but he’s not foolish, he has eyes and ears, and knows how to observe. His sharp instincts tell him this woman is up to something!
Wen Zaao froze, frowned slightly, and approached in confusion to ask, "What happened?"
"Who knows what happened!" Su Ying abruptly pushed, hitting Chu Ge’s wound precisely, then tossed out "lunatic" before swiftly escaping.
Originally, after Su Ying left the ward for the first time, she returned under the guise of a caretaker cleaning and saw Chu Ge figuring out how to use the bathroom. She ’kindly’ gave him a tip.
Seeing that he had no issue using the toilet or bathtub, unlike what the mysterious person said, she decided to investigate further. So, she opened all the faucet valves and even purposefully splashed dirty water on Chu Ge, forcing him into the bathroom to clean up.
Chu Ge, seeing the faucet wouldn’t shut off, intended to find someone for assistance. It was Su Ying who told him the valve was broken, urging him to fix it.
He didn’t understand, so Su Ying suggested that he simply chop it with his hand.
Wen Zaao: ...
Isn’t this outright bullying?
"Is she a caretaker at this hospital?" Wen Zaao frowned deeply,
"... How would I know?" Chu Ge frowned, the wound aching slightly...
Wen Zaao took a deep breath, trying to suppress the anger within, deciding to confront the hospital authorities for answers!
Just after a few steps, Chu Ge stopped Wen Zaao, "That person is strange, I could tell at first glance. Even if you find her, she won’t admit it, better to watch and wait."
Wen Zaao turned back, glaring at him, "I warned you, in our world, there’s no such title as ’this king’!"
Chu Ge shrugged indifferently, then turned back to lie down on the hospital bed to rest.
Meanwhile, in the shadows.
A mysterious figure stood cloaked, gazing towards the hospital. It was unclear if they could see Chu Ge’s ward. After a while, the figure spoke, "This person possesses vast energy. We can’t let him and the Chu Ge of the Fifth Space-Time meet, understood?"
Beside them stood a middle-aged man, around forty or so, who nodded, having doubts but unsure if he should speak.
The mysterious figure, seeing his hesitancy, snorted, "Just say what you want to say, stop beating around the bush."
"Master, since you’ve already ceded power to the Palace Master, why not let the Palace Master handle it alone? Opening the Eighth Space-Time seems to complicate matters for him, doesn’t it?"
The mysterious figure clasped his hands behind his back, glanced at the sky, and a subtle, meaningful smile graced his darkly stained lips, "You mean Yun Xi? That child is ambitious and proud; everything’s been too smooth for him these years. If this continues, he’ll be destroyed by his own arrogance. I must create some challenges for him, only then will he grow stronger."
"There’s another thing I don’t understand."
Since the master was discussing matters now, he decided to voice all his questions to avoid future uncertainty.
"Speak."
The mysterious figure grew slightly impatient, talking too much!
"Master, our ultimate goal is the Mystic Sky Tower, while the aim of Yunxi Palace Master is to compete against Nangong. If you hand Wufeng Palace over to him, in terms of manpower when we eventually head to Mystic Sky Tower..."
The mysterious figure laughed heartily, "Don’t worry about that. Yun Xi has always known my wish. Once his goal is achieved, his target will naturally shift towards Mystic Sky Tower."
"But one can never truly know another."
"Alright, I know your concerns, but don’t forget, there’s also the saying: ’Trust those you use, and use those you trust without doubt.’"
