I Got Together With the Fake Heiress - Chapter 89

The incident involving Xiao Song was far more serious than one involving a cameraman. Moreover, since the filming was semi-public, the news of Xiao Song’s accident was posted online by passersby and fans within minutes.

“Quickly, has the ambulance arrived yet? Where are the doctors who were on the side?” Fortunately, the production team was well-prepared. Because they had set up challenge segments, they had two accompanying doctors.

“Heart rate is abnormal, breathing is rapid, blood pressure is high, pupil dilation is normal, and no other organ abnormalities have been found temporarily. This is a case of unexplained coma,” the doctor checked quickly. “He needs to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. We can only ensure his vital signs are stable now.”

“The stretcher is here. Let’s send him to the campus clinic first.” The school administration reacted quickly as well. Professional staff immediately carried Xiao Song away on a stretcher.

With Xiao Song unexpectedly falling into a coma, the program naturally could not continue recording. To avoid trouble, the school immediately dispatched student union members to maintain order, disperse the surrounding students, and instruct them not to participate in online discussions.

Wen Yunqing certainly would not interfere with the Vengeful Spirit’s revenge, but she also wouldn’t remain completely indifferent if someone was causing trouble right under her nose.

“I can see it. Those faintly glowing things on Xiao Song’s body are slowly disappearing,” Wen Yimeng still retained the perceptive ability, so she could easily see things that non-humans could see.

“If all of those things disappear, will Xiao Song just…” Wen Yimeng asked.

“Yes. Those are his vitality and luck. At the current speed, he will lose his life in about a month,” Wen Yunqing was currently holding Wen Yimeng. The two of them were observing the situation from a high floor across from the campus clinic, at a safe distance.

“Should we go help? Or observe first?” Wen Yimeng was learning quickly. She would no longer impulsively ask Wen Yunqing to intervene and help people.

“Let’s wait and see. I think this matter is a little off,” she assessed. Xiao Song’s vitality and luck were much better than the average person’s. If the opponent was an Evil Cultivator (Xie Xiu), they would easily target his luck.

However, the transfer of luck is a long process. Generally, it is slowly absorbed, causing the victim to unknowingly walk toward their demise, not like today, where so much was drawn out at once, directly sending the person into a coma.

Thinking back to the information she received yesterday, a hint of solemnity appeared on Wen Yunqing’s face.

After Wen Yunqing learned that her girlfriend had been attacked, she had asked Lu Zhiming to go to the hospital to track down the perpetrator. However, that person was very fast. By the time Lu Zhiming and her team arrived, he had already wiped away all traces and left.

Her intuition told Wen Yunqing that the person was targeting her, and that he attacked Wen Yimeng only to use her as leverage against Wen Yunqing.

Their presence here today to watch the live recording was not a secret. Could the opponent have deliberately set up this trap for her? Using this Xiao Song incident to attract her attention, and then repeat his old tricks?

The more Wen Yunqing thought about it, the more serious her expression became. A killing intent surged uncontrollably in her heart. Dangerous enemies like this must be dealt with as soon as possible.

“Should we ask Teacher Lu for help?” Wen Yimeng asked.

Wen Yunqing hesitated slightly, then nodded. She would remain still for now; she needed to confirm if this was a setup specifically targeting her.

It had only been a few days since the Black Wolf incident. If that person could set up a trap so quickly, he was truly a terrifying opponent.

On the other side, Qi Lei, who had been badly shocked by the lightning, was still recovering in a private sanatorium. He was sitting cross-legged in a formation, where the spiritual energy concentration was ten times higher than elsewhere. Countless threads of spiritual power were drilling into his body, helping to repair his internal injuries.

“Elder, should we help the Young Master deal with that person?” Not far away, a middle-aged man bowed his head and asked the long-bearded old man.

The old man stroked his beard, looking at Qi Lei who was healing. A flicker of calculation crossed his eyes. “That is someone from the Special Affairs Department. If we intervene, they will definitely detect something suspicious.”

“For now, we will hold our forces. Once the Young Master’s injuries are healed, we will discuss how to get rid of her,” the Elder said, pausing. “Pay attention these few days; do not provoke the authorities, and do not let them detect the Young Master’s existence.”

“Yes,” the middle-aged man replied. “Elder, if it’s inconvenient for us to take action, how about we use others to cause trouble for the person who harmed the Young Master?”

“Hmm? Are you suggesting the Young Master’s previous approach, using those demons to create problems for them?” The Elder was not keen on this suggestion. “There aren’t many demons in Jing City who have no ties to us. If we truly need to find some, we’d have to go to other regions.”

“No, no, Elder, you misunderstood my meaning. The Young Master had investigated Wen Yunqing previously. When she was just born, she was…” The middle-aged man had very dirty methods and quickly thought of a way to disgust Wen Yunqing and Wen Yimeng and cause them trouble.

The Elder’s expression changed slightly halfway through the explanation, and his face shifted even more when he heard that the person was Wen Yimeng’s birth mother. “If that is the case, doesn’t that person possess the birth date characters (shengchen bazi) for both of them?”

“Elder, the Young Master tried it. Both of their birth characters are very resilient and cannot be easily influenced by ordinary means,” the middle-aged man said. “Actually, this was the Young Master’s initial plan after obtaining the information, but at that time, Li Hong was still abroad, and we hadn’t located her.”

“And now? Have you found her?” the Elder asked.

The middle-aged man nodded. “Our people have already contacted the other party. If needed, we can bring her back to the country at any time.”

The Elder stroked his beard, and after a long while, he smiled. “The Young Master’s injury will likely take several months to heal. For these few months, you will temporarily handle this matter.”

“Yes,” the middle-aged man’s lips curled upwards. He had successfully gained a foothold on the Elder’s ship.

Wen Yunqing did not intervene in Xiao Song’s matter but stayed close to Wen Yimeng, only relaxing slightly after Lu Zhiming finished investigating and provided some clues.

“Xiao Song had his luck borrowed. We did a rough screening, and the culprit should be someone in the entertainment industry, likely an artist he previously collaborated with,” after three days of busy work, Lu Zhiming piled the documents in front of Wen Yunqing.

“Can you help with this matter? I still have to guard the beauty salon,” Lu Zhiming said, half-sprawled on the sofa. She finally understood why Wen Yunqing was unwilling to work during her holidays.

If it weren’t for these messy affairs, she would be out on a date with her sweet-smelling girlfriend right now, instead of working until she felt bald.

“I will arrange it,” since it was a coincidence, she was reluctant to move. She would leave it to her team members.

“That works. Wu Jin has been very diligent recently; leaving it to her is a good choice,” Lu Zhiming let out a long sigh. “I originally thought that with you added to Jing City, I would have an easier time, but instead, I’m even busier. It’s either trouble over here or trouble over there, even though the authorities supposedly cleared things out…”

Wen Yunqing did not respond. Although there were many incidents involving ghosts and spirits now, it had not reached the point of affecting people’s livelihoods or the country’s fortune. Compared to the world she lived in during her previous life, where demons and ghosts ran rampant, the current supernatural events were just an appetizer.

On a side note, had the Way of Heaven (Tiandao) of this world not yet chosen the so-called savior?

Yimeng has been cultivating more diligently lately. Perhaps the two of them could live for two or three hundred years. Wen Yunqing certainly didn’t want to be responsible for vanquishing demons and eliminating evil when she was old.

Just as Wen Yunqing was looking toward the future, the bedroom door opened, and Wen Yimeng walked out, yawning. “Yunqing, I’m hungry… Teacher Lu, why are you here too?”

Wen Yimeng subconsciously glanced at her clothing. Good, her pajamas were securely covering everything, not revealing anything inappropriate.

Lu Zhiming’s gaze lightly drifted over the ambiguous marks remaining on Wen Yimeng’s neck, and a pang of bitterness struck her heart.

Darn it! They were both Captains of the Special Affairs Department, so why did she have to work hard while Wen Yunqing could stay at home and flirt with her girlfriend!
