Chapter 143 For the Rest of My Life, I’ll Stay with You
”Who could it be who has so much power?”
An image suddenly appeared in Lin Qingwan's mind: half a year ago, at a cocktail party, she saw a man with startlingly vicious eyes.
”Could it be him, Su Zongheng?”
Lin Qingwan frowned. Su Zongheng really had the resources to have her assassinated, but why would he want to? She had nothing to do with him. Why would he want to have her killed?
Lin Qingwan considered this for a while. Just because she had no beef with Su Zongheng didn't mean her father was on good terms with him as well.
She immediately made a phone call to her father in the United States and found out that the two were indeed bitter rivals.
As for why, Lin Hongyuan would not tell Lin Qingwan in detail. He only instructed her to take precautions against Su Zongheng.
”Damn it. Su Zongheng is obviously the mastermind behind the plot, but we have no evidence to prove it...” Lin Qingwan yawned, ”Ugh, I’m done. I need to get some sleep. Get well soon.”
Lin Qingwan and Murong walked away, leaving Ye Fei alone and lonely in his ward. Not because no one stayed with him - Ye Fei was quite accustomed to being alone, he even preferred it.
He felt lonely because he lost his ancestral throwing knife.
The knife was stuck deep in Fire Dragon's throat and he had no time to retrieve it.
Now, both the throwing knife and Fire Dragon’s corpse disappeared together. They must have fallen into the hands of the man behind the plot.
”If only I could use my breathing technique to control the throwing knife. I wouldn’t have lost it...” Ye Fei sighed, and secretly vowed to reclaim his heirloom one day, come what may.
That throwing knife was not only bound to his own fate, but Zhong Mei’s fate as well.
......
Ye Fei dozed off. After a while, Zhong Mei came in, carrying a large bag.
Zhong Mei sat down by the bed and took out a few boxes of hot food from the bag. ”Are you feeling any better today? The doctor said some of the cuts came very close to your spine. You were nearly paralyzed for life!”
”I’m a lucky guy,” Ye Fei smiled. ”I can’t get any work other than as a bodyguard, so if I really got paralyzed, I’d starve to death!”
Zhong Mei lowered her head and whispered, ”If you're really paralyzed, I... I will stay with you for the rest of your life.” She didn't know if Ye Fei even heard her.
Ye Fei sat up and stretched some of his sore muscles. ”I’m fine. The doctors like to exaggerate and then ask for more money. Don’t believe them.”
