“Near the school. Someone tried to assassinate him.”

Qiao Qing responded simply and crisply as she continued to efficiently disinfect, anesthetize, remove the bullet, and bandage the wound. Her series of movements were fluid like running water – everything was done in one fluent motion.

After hearing Qiao Qing’s response, He Wanqing realized why she decided not to take him to the hospital. However, slight worry started to rise within her again, “Would keeping him home get us in trouble?”

Qiao Qing’s hand that was tying up the bandage froze a bit, then, she tied a knot. “Don’t worry. I know where to draw the line.”

Hearing Qiao Qing’s words, He Wanqing felt calmer.

She looked at Jun Yexuan’s blood-stained face and her eyes brightened. “This young man has such a handsome face. How can anyone have a heart cruel enough to do this!”

Qiao Qing sighed again, knowing that He Wanqing was helplessly into good looks. There was no cure. She felt too lazy to argue against her that there was no link between good looks and people showing mercy.

She washed her hands and was about to leave when He Wanqing grabbed onto her, “Baby, you aren’t staying here to take care of him? I don’t know anything about first aid. What if something happens to him?”

Qiao Qing frowned a little and said helplessly, “Mom, he’s not going to die. Plus, it’s not really appropriate for a man and a woman to stay together overnight, no?”

Then, she took back her hand and returned to her room.

He Wanqing thought about it and realized that it was true. After all, her daughter had a fiancé.

After a yawn, He Wanqing prepared to go back to sleep. She turned her head and saw Liu Ping, who had been right by her for god knows how long.

He Wanqing shuddered. “Auntie Liu, why are you here? You scared me!”

Liu Ping took back her investigative gaze and smiled as if to apologize, “I am just here to see if you have anything you need my help with. Ma’am, are you okay?”

He Wanqing patted her own chest and waved around her hand, “I’m fine, I’m fine. There’s nothing to help with here. You can’t help anyway. Go back and sleep.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Liu Ping lowered her head and her gaze flickered.
