Chapter 154: Defenseless

He calmly tidied up the cuffs of his suit, pretending not to hear that remark.

"Well, that's all I want to say."

A perfect fake smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, sending a chill down Leng Qiuhua's spine.

After saying that, he turned around and walked out without caring about the reaction of the people behind him.

He stepped out of the building and let out a long sigh of relief.

Actually, everything Leng Chuanjin said just now was a lie to Leng Qiuhua.

He had no idea who the group of people who tried to kidnap Xia Sanghuan were related to. It was just his intuition that told him it must be Leng Qiuhua.

Moreover, his subordinates had already found out Chen Jiayuan's real identity, so he decided to bluff his dear uncle.

He thought his uncle might have improved over the years, but in the end, he was still deceived by him.

He got back into the car and took off his coat, which had been scratched in several places.

While he was in the police station just now, he had already asked someone to check the identities and backgrounds of these people. As expected, he found out nothing.

This made him a little annoyed.

This was a phenomenon that had never happened before.

Who on earth was so powerful that they could hide from him and cut off all the information lines?

The heart - stopping scene this morning seemed to be right in front of his eyes. He could even recall the panic that welled up in his heart when Xia Sanghuan opened the window in front of him.

Fortunately, the situation this time was not that serious.

Rather, the people on the other side were obviously not as professional as the group that came to kill him last time.

It was more like they were a group of scapegoats pushed out to take the blame rather than a well - organized group to besiege them.

If they could succeed, it would be the best outcome for the people behind them.

But even if they failed, those people would not suffer any losses.

They really played their cards well.

He sneered as he looked at the darkening sky outside the window.

...

Xia Sanghuan paced back and forth restlessly in the Leng family mansion. She wanted to call Leng Chuanjin to ask about the situation, but before that, his subordinate had already told her that he had something very urgent to do.

What should she do?

Wang Fu, seeing her so restless, tried to comfort her.

"Miss Xia, you don't have to worry too much about the young master."

"Since he escaped from danger with you, he must be safe now."

"Why do you say so?"

She looked at the butler, her voice a bit hoarse.

"Because this kind of thing should be quite common for the young master."

"Miss Xia, you know that the Leng family is a large and powerful family. There are many people who want to take the position of the family head."

"Moreover, the old master passed away early. The young master... has to face many difficulties and dangers that he shouldn't have to face."

Hearing the butler's words, her heart tightened.

"And then?"

"Then? After the young master gradually took over the Leng family, he sent all those who had tried to harm him to prison."

"The young master is not the kind of person who acts without certainty."

Although she was still worried, since the butler had said so much, she didn't know what else to say.

She greeted the butler and went back to her bedroom to clean the dust off her body.

Some of her skin was cut and still bleeding.

After coming out of the bathroom, she simply bandaged the wounds and then called Xiao Song.

If she remembered the time correctly, Old Xiao should have already given the medicine to Jing Zhan.

The phone rang only a few times before it was picked up. Then came Xiao Song's slightly anxious voice.

"Huanhuan, how are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Hearing his words, she knew that Professor He must have told Old Xiao what had happened today.

This was also inevitable. They had clearly agreed that she and Professor He would go to the hospital today.

After all, they were the developers of the medicine, so they also needed to observe the physical reactions of Jing Zhan after the injection on the spot.

Moreover, even if no one said anything, tomorrow's news headlines would surely be about today's accident.

Thinking of this, she felt a headache coming on.

She didn't know how her father, brothers and sisters would react when they found out about this.

Although the news would use aliases and blur the faces, she didn't believe they wouldn't recognize her.

But now was not the time to worry about this.

"Old Xiao, I'm fine."

"How is Jing Zhan now? Have you injected the medicine into him?"

"Jing Zhan is in good condition. After the injection, his pain has been relieved to some extent."

"The bark on his body hasn't changed visibly yet, but I believe that after a period of injection, the bark will also be under control."

Saying this, Xiao Song's tone was full of relief.

"After such a long time, Jing Zhan has finally seen the first glimmer of hope."

"Huanhuan, this is all thanks to you."

After hearing this news, she felt relieved.

After making an appointment with Xiao Song to meet at the hospital tomorrow, she hung up the phone.

Just as she was determined to call Leng Chuanjin, Wang Fu suddenly knocked on her door.

"Miss Xia, someone is looking for you."

She walked over and opened the door. Just as she was about to ask "Who is looking for me", the next second she was hugged tightly.

"Huanhuan, you almost scared your sister to death!"

She was stunned for a moment and found that the person was Fu Youqing.

"Sister, why are you here?"

She was hugged so tightly that she could hardly breathe, so she quickly pushed her sister's shoulder.

But after hearing her words, her sister hugged her even tighter.

"Why do you think I'm here?"

"Don't you know better than me what happened today?"

Fu Youqing said loudly, her voice trembling with emotion and even tinged with a sob.

Xia Sanghuan was at a loss for words.

"Anyway, sister will take you home now!"

"Although Fu Kai, grandpa and grandma are still living at home, it's better to go home and endure some grievances than to almost lose your life here!"

After saying that, she wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and pulled her sister's hand, ready to go downstairs.

Realizing that her third sister had misunderstood the situation, she quickly grabbed her and comforted her gently.

"Sister, calm down first."

"Come on, let's go back to the room. I'll tell you about this slowly."

She softened her voice, trying not to stimulate her.

Fortunately, Fu Youqing was not the kind of person who would lose control when excited. She stood there and looked at her precious sister for a few seconds, then sighed.

"What should I do with you?"

Although she was complaining, she still let herself be pulled into the bedroom.

Xia Sanghuan led her to sit on the edge of the bed and poured her a cup of hot water.

"Third sister, how did you know about this?"

She sat down beside her and asked carefully.

Fu Youqing took a sip of water and looked up at her, glaring.
