The Mighty Mage
Chapter 192: Hunch

Chapter 192: Chapter 192: Hunch

Since Jasmine couldn’t eat food on her own, the necessary nutrition was provided to her through liquid food.

"Butler, check the injection, food, and medicine. Also, ask some trustworthy maids to check them." Long Yifan instructed.

The head butler immediately set to work, calling over a few trusted maids to help inspect the injection, food, and medicine.

They worked diligently, knowing how much was at stake. Long Yifan watched anxiously, his eyes never leaving the scene.

After thorough scrutiny, the head butler approached Long Yifan.

"Sir, we have found no issues with the food, medicine, or injection. Everything is as it should be."

Nothing was found on the maids too.

Long Yifan let out a sigh of relief, though the uncertainty still gnawed at him.

He wasn’t missing anything, right?

Long Yifan stared at the two maids who trembled and finally said,

"Go."

The two maids immediately thanked Long Yifan and made their way toward the stairs.

Once inside the Jasmine’s room, the older maid patted her heart her and said,

"Thank god, nothing went wrong. Do you know how scared I was when Mr. Long suddenly asked to inspect us?

I thought someone might have deliberately tampered with the food or medicine or us and given a tip to Long Yifan so that they could trap us!"

The younger maid calmly shook her head,

"Even if they did find something on us, I wouldn’t have let them accuse them until and unless they thoroughly investigate!

If I didn’t make any mistake then even the god can’t force me to accept my mistake."

The older maid showed an admiring expression.

Downstairs.

"Sir, are you satisfied now?" The head butler asked.

"Hm." Long Yifan pressed his forehead with his thumb and index finger.

Was he thinking too much?

Crash.

A loud sound came from Jasmine’s room and Long Yifan’s heart fastened.

He hurriedly stood up and the head butler followed behind him.

Gu Jin was thinking of visiting Jasmine when she received a call from the head butler.

Worried, Gu Jin picked up the call and asked,

"Yes?"

"Come to the Long mansion!" The head butler said hurriedly and hung up the call.

Gu Jin frowned looking at the phone.

What was happening?

Did something happen to Jasmine?

Gu Jin hailed a taxi and soon reached the Long mansion.

Once she entered the Long mansion, Gu Jin heard the loud chattering.

All the servants who were usually doing their work with an expressionless face, were now looking in the direction of the living room with an excited expression.

Gu Jin had a hunch but she didn’t dare to believe it and hurriedly walked inside.

Sure enough.

She saw Jasmine sitting on the sofa with a calm expression.

Elegant, beautiful and charming.

That was all Gu Jin could think of for now.

Has she finally woken up?

Gu Jin was relieved.

When the head butler saw Gu Jin he walked up to her and held her hand. His eyes were filled with tears as he said in an emotional tone,

"Thank you! Thank you so much for curing our young miss! I could never repay your favor in this life."

Gu Jin was a bit overwhelmed,

"It’s alright...I was just repaying my benefactor."

After all, it was Long Yifan who had saved her first, her treating Jasmine was...just repayment.

Jasmine looked at the young lady and couldn’t help but feel an affinity with her.

Strange...

For some reason, she kept on feeling as if Gu Jin was very familiar...how should she put it....it was as if she had met Gu Jin before.

However...that was not important for now. Jasmine stood up and walked up to Gu Jin.

"Thank you." She said in a soft voice.

Gu Jin shook her head and said,

"No need...I was just repaying Mr. Long for his kindness. He saved me and I cured you."

Jasmine was stunned and turned her head towards the head butler as if asking whether Gu Jin was selling the truth or not.

The head butler nodded, which further surprised Jasmine.

Her brother?

How is this possible?

Even though Long Yifan was a reasonable person, in some matters, he was too unreasonable. He acts like a bully, but the truth is that he never cared about any girl.

On the contrary, he somewhat hated them because of his past.

But when she thought about how he had saved some girl who was in distress earlier, Jasmine calmed down.

It wasn’t like Gu Jin was the first girl he had saved.

"It doesn’t matter. He saved you because he wanted to. As for you, you are my benefactor! You repaying favor is one thing and curing me is another."

Gu Jin didn’t know how to answer Jasmine and could only say,

"Miss Jasmine, I..."

"Anyways, let’s have dinner. I am starving!" Jasmine turned towards the head butler.

The head butler smiled,

"Okay, please come this way."

Jasmine nodded and followed the head butler.

Gu Jin could only sigh.

Unconsciously she started to look around but didn’t the figure her eyes were trying to find.

For a moment she was disappointed but relieved at the same time.

After dinner, Jasmine passed a storage ring to Gu Jin and said,

"Here."

"No. I won’t take it." Gu Jin shook her head.

Jasmine didn’t get angry, instead, she said with a gentle smile,

"Your name is Gu Jin, right?"

"Hm."

"Then, can I call you Jin’er?" Jasmine asked again.

This time Gu Jin hesitated and finally shook her head,

"I would prefer if you just call me Miss Gu."

Jasmine paused, before smiling,

"Okay, then I will call you Jin."

Gu Jin: "..."

"So, Jin, I have a question for you, can you answer it for me?"

"Sure."

"If my brother instead of helping you, helped a gardener, do you think I would be cured by now?"

Gu Jin frowned and was about to argue when Jasmine continued,

"Don’t say that he would have repaid my brother later. At most, the gardener would have given my brother some money. Money isn’t something that my brother lacks currently.

You could have also paid some money or given some treasure to my brother. Why would you waste a year and a half just to repay him?

According to me, you invested your skills and time, it shows how sincere you were and your debt was considered paid from that moment on.

But I was cured because of your efforts, which was an unexpected bonus."

Gu Jin didn’t how to refute Jasmine.

After a while, a idea came to her mind and just when she was about to implement it, she heard Jasmine continue,

"Now don’t say, that Yifan was the same as you. He didn’t put any effort into saving. He was just passing by and helped you since he could.

Don’t just look at his good side. Let me tell you. If chance is given, god knows what he might have done! Maybe instead of saving, he might have bullied you instead!

That kid...sigh! He is too unreliable!"

Gu Jin felt Jasmine’s words make sense and she almost nodded.

Long Yifan: "..." Why was I shot while lying down?

Jasmine held Gu Jin’s hand gently and said,

"Jin, please take this storage ring as my sincerity."

After much insistence, Gu Jin finally took the storage ring.

"Then please consider this as the final repayment from your end." Gu Jin said.

Jasmine understood the hidden meaning of Gu Jin’s words and couldn’t help but frown gently.

Gu Jin stated that from now on, they will not have any relationship.

Jasmine turned to look at the head butler who lowered his head.

Suppressing her curiosity, Jasmine chatted with Gu Jin.

Only when it was midnight, did Jasmine stop.

"Why don’t you stay here for tonight?" Jasmine suggested.

By now Gu Jin learned her lesson and nodded,

"Okay."

Anyway, she can’t argue with Jasmine at all. She was...too eloquent!

She could treat her stay here at the Long Mansion as the last stay.

Thinking so, Gu Jin subconsciously walked towards the room in which she had stayed previously.

Jasmine narrowed her eyes and nonchalantly looked at the head butler. But to her surprise, the head butler had left long ago.

...................

Just when Gu Jin reached the door of her room, someone called her from behind,

"Miss Gu."

Gu Jin turned around and saw the head butler, who cautiously left and right and said,

"Miss Gu, I want to ask something..."

"What is it?" Gu Jin raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Why don’t we talk inside?"

"Okay."

Once inside, the head butler checked the room and closed the door.

Gu Jin frowned seeing the head butler’s strange actions.

The head butler turned toward Gu Jin and hos first question surprised Gu Jin,

"How are you now?"

"Good." She thought he would ask about Jasmine’s condition, but...surprisingly the head butler was quite human.

But the head butler’s next words surprised Gu Jin even more.
