After Being Blackened All Over the Internet, I Ruled the Military Variety Shows
Chapter 420 - 411: Ruthless Jiang Lingxi

Chapter 420: Chapter 411: Ruthless Jiang Lingxi

Sand Hospital.

"The blood clot has been drained. The patient’s vital signs are stable, and they should wake up once the anesthesia wears off."

Seeing the doctor was about to leave, Changning quickly stopped him, "Doctor, when will he regain his memory?"

"I can’t promise anything. It depends on the patient’s recovery ability. However, the blood clot pressed on the patient’s brain nerves for quite a while, so you’ll need to be patient. Also, some appropriate triggers might accelerate the process of memory recovery. For instance, visiting the place where he got injured or returning to familiar surroundings, having family and friends recount shared experiences..."

Changning couldn’t help but interrupt the doctor’s suggestions, "I understand, thank you."

These suggestions might be effective, but the prerequisite was that she needed to know too!

"What should we do now?"

"We can only wait." Huzi was calmer than Changning, after all, it wasn’t him who was entangled with the person inside.

"I’ll go back and inform Sister Xi, will you stay?"

"That’s all we can do."

She couldn’t bring herself to take someone who just had surgery and wasn’t even over the anesthesia out of the hospital!

With no patient left, Huzi sped all the way back to the troupe, making it before nightfall.

Jiang Lingxi had been filming fight scenes with Chong Yin all day on set, her energy drained unprecedentedly, and was now clutching a bowl of rice, ignoring Luan Feng’s icy gaze from a distance.

Seeing the car lights approaching, she put down her chopsticks and waved.

Huzi parked the car, handed over a big steamed bun before even speaking, "Have a seat and eat first; we’ll talk after the meal."

There was a night scene to shoot later, a large scene involving a night attack.

Luckily, Wei Xiao still had some humanity, not making everyone shoot immediately after dinner.

Only then did Jiang Lingxi have time to understand the situation at the hospital from Huzi.

"The surgery wasn’t major. The doctor said that after a couple of days in the hospital for re-examination, discharge is no problem."

"Then once discharged, bring him back. We can consider the doctor’s first suggestion, since he appears here, it’s very likely something happened nearby. If he got injured, he couldn’t have run far."

"You still want to handle it?" Huzi was taken aback, "Why not hand it over to the local police directly?"

Jiang Lingxi rubbed her temples, "Do you forget he clung to Changning’s leg this morning? Now he’s like a persistent patch to Changning. Reporting to the police might not necessarily shake him off. Besides, alerting the police will disturb the entire troupe, and as long as he hasn’t regained his memory, this matter won’t end. We’ll investigate ourselves first; if there’s no progress, we can consider notifying the police. On the bright side, maybe he’ll wake up with his memory restored."

Huzi could only nod.

After all, Mr. Hu said when he came, to listen to Sister Xi in everything.

"Then I..."

"Rest at the camp tonight, and head back first thing in the morning. You three can return together, and there’s no need to worry about the troupe."

She initially agreed to let Changning and Huzi go mainly to ease Shen Yunqing’s mind.

The days of clear conflict between Chong Yin and them were still far off.

She noticed it during the afternoon filming.

The glances Chong Yin and Luan Feng cast her way showed more caution than in the morning.

Chong Yin’s gaze wasn’t obvious, but Luan Feng’s cultivation was clearly lacking, easy to see through.

A little caution is good, though it’s unclear what exactly it’s about, she has plenty of time to verify.

Filming the night scene wrapped up around midnight, and even Wei Minmin had no interest in sneaking in to use bath water and shampoo.

Everyone quickly washed up and climbed into bed.

Jiang Lingxi forced herself to wash her hair, rinsed briefly, asked Lu Zhengzheng to apply some ointment on the joints she accidentally scraped during daytime filming, and then nestled into bed.

In the dead of night.

Almost at the darkest hour when sleep was the deepest.

Jiang Lingxi suddenly opened her eyes.

The RV had a transparent skylight, and she could see the twinkling stars above through the glass upon waking.

However, she wasn’t in the mood for such scenes at the moment. She turned her head to check on Lu Zhengzheng, sleeping soundly on the sofa bed, then quietly sat up.

The faint sound of something rubbing on the ground was nearly inaudible, but Jiang Lingxi preferred absolute silence while she slept, preferably not a single noise.

But that’s practically impossible in modern society.

She had finally gotten used to various noises, as well as having someone sleeping nearby, only to have other noises bothering her now!

This time, she was truly angry!

Adapting to the darkness of the carriage after her eyes had adjusted, the source of the noise was within reach.

Just as a red string, no thicker than yarn, was about to jump onto her bed, Jiang Lingxi extended a hand wrapped in a pillow cover, grabbing it just as it was about to fall.

Without hesitation, she squeezed it, and with a faint ’pop,’ the struggling thing went limp.

Without looking, Jiang Lingxi carried it off the bed and headed to the restroom, opened the toilet lid, tossed it in, and flushed.

The silk pillow cover was also thrown into the trash bin.

After completing this, Jiang Lingxi came out to see Lu Zhengzheng still sound asleep.

Such a large heart, sometimes she really envied her!

Opening the door and jumping off the RV, Jiang Lingxi scanned under the moonlight, spotting a hunched figure quietly trying to slip away not too far away.

"Oh, sleepwalking is it? Coming all the way over here, that’s quite a distance for sleepwalking."

Luan Feng’s steps halted abruptly, pain flaring through his chest making it hard to suppress a groan. Hearing footsteps approaching, sweat beads began to drop.

Tonight, he’d seen the fresh wounds on the adult after the bath, caused during the afternoon filming of Jiang Lingxi, without a doubt.

Unable to hold back his anger, even though the adult warned him not to act against Jiang Lingxi, he wanted to teach this woman a small lesson, to avenge the adult in some way.

Thinking his method was perfect and undetected, only to end up falling short!

The Blood Worm he’d nurtured for so long not only failed to help him get revenge on Jiang Lingxi but was also snuffed out and flushed down the toilet!

It angered him to death, and the pain was literal.

The Blood Worm was connected to his heart and veins, this pain was genuine, not an exaggeration.

"Luan Feng? I remember that if someone is sleepwalking, calling their name is supposed to wake them up. So, are you awake now?"

Luan Feng, hardening himself, continued walking forward.

His plan relied on surprise, but now suffering from backlash, how could he dare to stick around, only wanting to leave quickly.

After teasing a couple of times, Jiang Lingxi’s patience wore thin.

She quickened her steps, caught up to Luan Feng, and then extended a leg.

The still feigning sleepwalking Luan Feng: "..."

Damn it!

Why so ruthless!

"Bang!"

Though the ground mixed with sand was somewhat soft, there were still exposed stones.

This wasn’t a set, no one would clear them deliberately.

Falling directly onto the stones, Luan Feng was left to experience the pain only he could tell.

Jiang Lingxi watched the stationary person collapsed on the ground, raised an eyebrow, "Not awake yet, how about this then?"

As Luan Feng was about to prop himself up with his arm, he suddenly felt as if a huge stone pressed down on his back, coincidentally a stone under his chest.

Caught between both sides, he could no longer hold back, spitting up a mouthful of fresh blood!
