Chapter 924: You Are Not Suitable for Him

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat subtle.

Mu Liusu watched as Luo Wanwan walked over and aimed her gun directly at her.

The next second—"I am here to help you."

Luo Wanwan's expression did not change in the slightest; as she spoke, she suddenly pulled something out of her pocket and threw it to Mu Liusu.

Mu Liusu caught it instinctively, and the moment he saw it clearly, his originally cold expression suddenly froze slightly.

It was a circular badge.

He was all too familiar with the pattern on it.

Because he and Li Xiao also had something like this.

It was the badge of proof representing the status of a "Decision Maker."

The special mark was also there, so there was no possibility of it being a fake.

So this woman... was also one of the people from "above"?

But...

Mu Liusu lowered his eyes to glance at the man who had just driven the car to hit someone, and let out a cold snort.

"Your person knocked the one we were capturing off the edge; how do you intend to handle this?"

Luo Wanwan's gaze flickered for an instant, she quickly swept a glance at the broken railing, and a tiny arc curled at the corners of her lips.

Finally, it was resolved...

At this height, it was impossible to survive the fall!

As long as Linke was dead...

Then no one would ever tell Li Xiao what she had done in the past.

Thinking this, Luo Wanwan replied: "Regarding the matter of hitting someone, I will report it to those above. As for how to punish them, that will have to wait until after an investigation. It isn't appropriate for you to handle my people privately, is it?"

Mu Liusu did not speak, but his fingertips holding the pistol tightened abruptly, turning somewhat pale.

According to regulations, after such a major accident, one should indeed report it upward.

But Cai Xiaotang had been kidnapped by Linke for so long, their group had been led around in circles for several days, and Li Xiao had even been shot because of it; now, was it all just going to be brushed aside by this woman with a few light words?

And how could it be such a coincidence?

Why did it happen exactly when they had the person cornered, that her subordinate suddenly rushed out and drove them straight off?

Mu Liusu suddenly thought of what Li Xiao had said to him before.

A traitor might have already appeared in their midst.

This matter could absolutely not be a simple "malfunction" of the car!

The atmosphere remained somewhat stiff.

After a long while—Mu Liusu threw the badge back without saying a word.

He had no time to dwell on these things now.

The most urgent priority was to confirm Linke's situation.

Thinking this, Mu Liusu turned to leave.

But just at this moment—a "Boom" suddenly came from the foot of the mountain!

Immediately following that, thick black smoke rose up!

On the other side—Cai Xiaotang had been waiting outside the operating room for a full two hours.

"Madam, drink some water..."

Lao San and Lao Wu had been staying by her side the whole time. Seeing her leaning blankly against the wall since just a moment ago, not knowing what she was thinking about, they both felt a bit heartbroken.

"Thank you..."

Cai Xiaotang reached out to take it instinctively, but she only held it in her hand and made no further movements.

Seeing this, both of them couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, and just as they were about to persuade her again, their peripheral vision suddenly caught the red light above the operating room going out!

"The surgery is over!"

Cai Xiaotang also reacted instantly and walked over excitedly.

Immediately after—the door to the operating room was pushed open from the inside.

Several doctors and nurses pushed Li Xiao out.

His complexion was still somewhat pale, and his eyes were tightly closed; he seemed not to have woken up yet.

Cai Xiaotang hurriedly asked: "Doctor, how is his condition!"

She was still covered in dirt, and just from asking that one sentence, she couldn't help but let tears well up in her eyes.

Seeing this, the doctor hurriedly reassured her: "He is fine now. Although he was shot, fortunately, the bullet did not damage his kidneys. We have already removed it. Next, he just needs to focus on recovering from his injuries. He will wake up once the effects of the anesthesia wear off."

"Okay... thank you... thank you..."

Hearing that Li Xiao was not in life-threatening danger, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly thanked them repeatedly and followed them back to the ward.

Lao San and Lao Wu tactfully did not disturb them; after settling Li Xiao in, they immediately retreated and stood guard outside the door.

The ward instantly became quiet.

Cai Xiaotang sat by the bed, looking at the person on the bed with his eyes tightly closed, wanting to cry and laugh at the same time.

Thank goodness...

Thank goodness he was alright...

If something had really happened to Li Xiao today, she would never forgive herself for the rest of her life!

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but carefully grasp Li Xiao's hand.

The temperature of those hands was somewhat low, not like usual, when they always brought a reassuring warmth and sense of security.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel her eyes redden again, and she hurriedly gripped his hand tighter, wanting to share more of her own warmth with him.

But then, she suddenly thought of something, hurriedly lowered her head to look herself over, and abruptly let go of his hand.

She looked far too dirty right now...

If Li Xiao were to wake up in a moment and see her like this...

Thinking this, Cai Xiaotang hurriedly stood up, wanting to tidy up her appearance first.

But unexpectedly, just as she stood up, the hem of her clothes was caught off guard and gently tugged by someone!

"Xiao..."

Li Xiao seemed to have sensed something, and he furrowed his brows slightly in his sleep.

Cai Xiaotang's figure froze, and she hurriedly turned her head to look at him.

Immediately after, she heard him murmur in a low, soft voice—"Xiao... Tang..."

Cai Xiaotang's heart softened unexpectedly; she paused for two seconds and then hurriedly sat back down beside him.

Forget it.

If she gets seen, then she gets seen.

Anyway, it's not like this guy hasn't seen her in a disheveled state before...

Cai Xiaotang did not leave another half-step, remaining by Li Xiao's side the whole time.

But after waiting for another hour, Li Xiao still showed no signs of waking up.

Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

Just as she was planning to have someone go ask the Doctor, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the doorway.

It seemed like someone had arrived.

Immediately after, the door to the hospital room was pushed open.

Cai Xiaotang looked over subconsciously, then was suddenly stunned, momentarily not knowing what to say.

The person who came was none other than Luo Wanwan.

Cai Xiaotang met her gaze, and for some reason, her brow suddenly twitched violently.

Was it an illusion?

Why did she feel that...

Luo Wanwan's temperament seemed to look a bit different?

Even a bit... hostile?

Cai Xiaotang didn't speak, just watched the other person quietly.

After a long while—"Do you mind stepping out with me to talk?"

Luo Wanwan finally spoke, her tone not as gentle as before, but instead somewhat sharp.

Cai Xiaotang didn't speak and stood up directly.

She could roughly guess what Luo Wanwan wanted to say.

The two of them left the hospital room one after the other, directly ignoring the somewhat surprised Lao Wu and Lao San outside the door.

They then went straight to a deserted corridor and stood still by the window.

Cai Xiaotang didn't speak, waiting for the other person to open the conversation first.

Immediately after, she heard Luo Wanwan get straight to the point: "Cai Xiaotang, I'll be blunt: you aren't suitable to be with Li Xiao, and it would be best if you left him quickly."
