Chapter 796: 399 Decent
The elevator doors opened, and the man in black guarding the entrance immediately blocked the way.
Zhou Xue courteously said, âThis is Madam Jiang, she heard that Ms. Ming Jing is hospitalized and came to visit.â
Of course, the two had heard of Jiang Madamâs reputation, but their orders were that no matter who it was, no one could enter.@@novelbin@@
âSorry, our young lady isnât seeing anyone. Please leave,â the man in black said.
Seeing that the man in black was unyielding, Zhou Xue gave a signal to the bodyguards.
The next moment, the two men in black had guns pointed directly at their foreheads.
The bodyguards pushed both men aside, and Zhou Xue respectfully bowed, âMadam, please.â
The woman touched her temples and walked gracefully out of the elevator.
She didnât look sideways, walking in her high heels at a leisurely pace.
Zhou Xue quickly caught up and glanced around, âMadam, what if this is a trap? Isnât it too dangerous for us to enter alone?â
Jiang Chunlan hooked her lips and said unhurriedly, âEven if The Rans had a hundred times more courage, they would not dare to harm me.â
Underhanded tactics were fair game behind the scenes, but The Rans wouldnât dare to kill her outright unless Ran Tengxiao had lost his mind.
âEven if itâs a den of dragons and tigers, I will still venture forth today,â she declared.
The âclick-click-clickâ of her heels on the polished floor created a dull and regular sound. The echoes swirled in the empty hallway, adding an inexplicable touch of eeriness.
A young girl with a baby-face walked out of a hospital room. Seeing Jiang Chunlan, her crying red eyes became even redder.
Inside, a Bodhi pendant lay.
The gift she presented to Ming Jing at the banquet held by The Zhus in her honor.
âSnap!â Jiang Chunlan closed the box, her eyes full of pain, âWhat happened? Tell me, Xiao Fei.â
Qu Feitai gave a bitter smile, âAunt Lan, letâs talk outside. We donât want to disturb Ming Jing.â
Jiang Chunlan signaled to Zhou Xue. As Qu Feitai turned around, Zhou Xue quickly grabbed the wrist under the white cloth. The icy coldness of the touch made her shiver, colder than a millennia-old glacier.
A small part of the extremely pale finger protruded, revealing a bizarre mixture of greenish-purple.
Zhou Xueâs fingers swiftly swept across the pulse. Her entire being was stunned.
There was no pulse.
She recognized the slender and elegant hand, it indeed belonged to Ming Jing.
She was truly dead.
Zhou Xueâs gaze was complex.
âWhat are you doing?â Xiao Hua saw her movements and rushed over like a madman, pushing her away and glaring at her angrily, âWhat are you doing touching our young lady? What ill-intentions do you have? With your sneaky appearance, were you the one who killed the young lady?â
Zhou Xue quickly tried to explain, âIâm sorry, I didnât mean to...â
âI think you did it on purpose. You killed the young lady. Iâll fight you,â Xiao Hua, showcasing her unyielding nature, threw herself at Zhou Xue, brawling with her. Zhou Xue didnât see it coming and got her cheek scratched by Xiao Huaâs sharp fingernail.
Zhou Xue covered her face and backed away, âHave you gone crazy?â
âYou villain, youâre the one who killed the young lady.â Xiao Hua lunged at her again. Zhou Xue was afraid of her and twisted the girlâs hands behind her back. To stay by Madamâs side, Zhou Xue was not only educated and capable, but also skilled in taekwondo, judo, and Muay Thai, more than enough to deal with a young girl like Xiao Hua.
