Quick Transmigration: Kitten's Healing Handbook - Chapter 107

Chapter 107: Infernal Labyrinth 3

“What the heck! You left without a word, just abandoning me, a wounded person, in the middle of the street?!”

Liuli hadn’t finished complaining when she saw Zhou Yonghou reappear at the alley entrance. She quickly changed her attitude: “I knew it! Such a stylish and imposing boss wouldn’t leave someone to die! ”

“Your change of heart is rare indeed. ”

“Hey! Anyone would misunderstand you running away so fast! ”

To save time, Zhou Yonghou directly scooped her up: “I don’t go by ‘hey,’ my name is Zhou Yonghou. ”

“Oh, my name is An Jiayi. ”

“I know. I saw your work badge just now. ”

Liuli then remembered her forgotten bag: “Oh, I forgot my bag! ”

Zhou Yonghou carried her to the front passenger seat of the car and placed the bag he was carrying onto her lap: “With your ditzy nature, how did you even get into Lu’s? ”

Liuli swallowed the “thank you” she had on the tip of her tongue: “You’re so capable, yet you didn’t manage to protect your boss. ”

“Sharp-tongued. ”

“We’re all the same. （Each to their own）”

Liuli noticed Zhou Yonghou was taking a more and more secluded route. Although she had a general idea, as An Jiayi she was supposed to know nothing, so she had to act: “Hey! Where are you taking us?! Aren’t you taking us to some deserted place to kill us and bury the bodies?!”

“You’re so audacious calling me ‘hey’ again, I’ll chop you up and feed you to the dogs. ”

“Brother Hou, you’re a magnanimous man. I’m still young, my life has just begun…”

Zhou Yonghou instinctively felt that this woman wasn’t truly scared, but her head was down, she was curled up in the chair, wishing she could become one with the car door. Her performance didn’t seem like acting: “I know a doctor at a black clinic. Lu Sheng was shot in the abdomen; he can’t go to a regular hospital. ”

“A black clinic? Are you sure you’re not taking us to get our kidneys harvested…? ”

“I’ve told you, and you don’t believe me. Think whatever you want. ”

Arriving at the black clinic, Zhou Yonghou first carried Lu Junsheng, who was in the back seat, into the clinic. Liuli wanted to follow, but on one hand, her ankle was sprained and on the other, she had acted so scared just now, actively going inside wouldn’t fit her persona, so she could only wait in the car for a while.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yonghou returned, opening the car door on her side. Liuli hugged her bag, assuming a defensive posture: “What…what are you doing…? ”

Zhou Yonghou was a little annoyed. He had clearly saved her, yet she was scared of him as if he was the most wicked person: “Your foot is injured too. Go inside and let the doctor take a look. ”

“Can…can I not…? ”

Zhou Yonghou didn’t hesitate: “You can. ”

Seeing Zhou Yonghou turn to leave, Liuli quickly grabbed his clothing hem: “No, you agreed so readily. What if something happens to the boss here? I…I need to go in and watch. ”

Zhou Yonghou sighed inwardly and resigned himself to carrying her into the clinic.

The doctor was removing the bullet, stitching up Lu Junsheng’s wound and applying medicine. Zhou Yonghou squatted down to check An Jiayi’s injury. He didn’t need to ask; he saw her ankle swollen like a pig’s trotter: “Can you still move it? ”

Liuli nodded obediently, feeling a little embarrassed because she saw the bullet the doctor had removed and his skillful stitching technique. She realized she had misunderstood Zhou Yonghou.

“Then it didn’t damage the bone. Don’t wear high heels until the swelling goes down. If you can take leave, take leave; otherwise, when walking, try not to put weight on the injured area. ”

Liuli nervously twirled her clothing hem, feeling guilty: “I got injured saving the boss, so I should be able to take leave, right…? ”

Zhou Yonghou, as an undercover agent, had amazing observation skills. He noticed Liuli’s unconcealed guilt and nervousness, and unconsciously relaxed his guard: “Are you sure the boss knows you got injured saving him? ”

Liuli glanced at Lu Junsheng, who was still unconscious due to the anesthetic, and couldn’t help but wail: “Injured and still having to work! This is inhumane! ”

“You can take sick leave. ”

“That means a pay deduction! ”

“Then there’s nothing that can be done. ”

After the doctor finished treating Lu Junsheng’s wound, he pulled Zhou Yonghou aside and whispered something. Remembering An Jiayi’s undercover mission and ultimate goal, Liuli took the opportunity to check the personal belongings the doctor had removed from Lu Junsheng during treatment.

There wasn’t anything special, just his shirt and suit jacket.

Under the pretense of folding Lu Junsheng’s clothes, Liuli thoroughly examined both garments, inside and out. In the inside pocket of the suit jacket, she found an antique pocket watch. The embedded photo was a picture of her father, An Zhaotang, and the previous Lu’s person in power, Lu Yaodong.

After confirming there was nothing else, Liuli returned the pocket watch to the inside pocket, wiped off her fingerprints using the fabric, folded the clothes, and placed them beside Lu Junsheng.

Knowing Zhou Yonghou was approaching, Liuli turned around at the right moment, bumping into him. Because of her sprained ankle, she was unsteady and almost fell. Fortunately, Zhou Yonghou still had a sliver of conscience and caught her: “What were you looking at? ”

“I folded the boss’s clothes and checked his wound. What else would I be doing? ”

“You better be telling the truth. If I find out you’re up to something, I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish for Lu Sheng. ”

“Who are you trying to scare? Dogs and fish, that’s all you can come up with. Let me tell you, sister, I’m not easily scared! ”

“Oh really? I wonder who was curled up in a ball in the car earlier. ”

“Who? No one! You must have seen wrong! ”

Zhou Yonghou pushed her back down into the chair beside her: “Sit still and don’t wander around. ”

“When will the boss wake up? If I can’t take leave, I have to go to work tomorrow. I should go home and sleep. ”

The doctor was happy to answer this professional question: “The amount of anesthetic used wasn’t much. He’ll wake up in ten or so minutes, at the fastest. ”

“Then…I’ll wait a little longer…”

When Lu Junsheng woke up, he smelled disinfectant. The surroundings weren’t like a hospital ward, so he guessed it was a black clinic. This situation meant he had been rescued. However, he remembered that the person who saved him was a woman. Could that woman even know a black clinic?

When Lu Junsheng woke up, An Jiayi, who had been staring at him, was the first to notice: “Boss! You’re finally awake, boss! ”

Lu Junsheng frowned. Was it a woman who saved him? And she called him boss? He didn’t seem to have any female bodyguards.

Lu Junsheng looked over and saw a man standing beside the woman. When he saw Lu Junsheng wake up, the man approached: “Lu Sheng, I’m Zhou Yonghou, I collect parking fees on Nathan Road. I’m Xiong Ge’s subordinate. The doctor at this clinic is an acquaintance of mine. You don’t need to worry. ”

Lu Junsheng nodded, then looked at the woman who seemed hesitant, as if she had something to say: “What’s your name? I don’t think I’ve met you before. ”

“Boss! We’ve met! We’ve run into each other in the company elevator more than once! But I’m just a junior assistant, so it’s understandable that you wouldn’t remember me…”
