Jiang Li entered the ward, cast a cold glance at Lin Qinghe, and walked towards her hospital bed.
Lin Qinghe narrowed her eyes, immediately becoming vigilant. "Jiang Li, what do you want to do by coming here?"
Jiang Li said, "The IV drip you're on needs to be changed. I'll change it for you."
Jiang Li expressionlessly reached out to take Lin Qinghe's IV bag. Lin Qinghe knew exactly what was going on.
Jiang Li coming to change her IV drip for no reason was clearly like a weasel visiting a chicken for the New Year; he had ill intentions.
Just as Jiang Li was about to take the medicine bottle, Lin Qinghe pulled out the IV needle from the back of her hand. She smiled faintly and said, "No need for Assistant Jiang's trouble. I'm also in the medical field, and I know my body very well. My current condition doesn't require any more medication."
"You!" Jiang Li's expression changed slightly. "This is something Director Gu instructed me to do. If you have any problems, please speak to him. For now, please start the IV drip."
Lin Qinghe narrowed her eyes. "Oh, really? Director Gu ordered this?"
Jiang Li pursed his lips. "Naturally!"
Lin Qinghe's eyes flickered, and she smiled. "Alright, then please hang the medicine bottle. I'll continue with the IV drip. Please thank Director Gu for his kindness."
Jiang Li snorted and said nothing more. He took out the medicine bottle he had brought, drew out the medicine, and was about to mix it into Lin Qinghe's IV bottle when Lin Qinghe's eyes sharpened. She suddenly stood up and, while Jiang Li wasn't paying attention, grabbed the syringe with her left hand and applied a little force. The syringe directly pierced Jiang Li's arm, and all the medicine was injected into his body.
Jiang Li's face turned ashen. He forcefully pushed Lin Qinghe away with great strength, causing her to fall directly to the ground. He roared angrily, "Lin Qinghe! What the hell are you doing! You... you're looking for death!"
Lin Qinghe's broken right hand ached intensely, making her face turn pale. Seeing Jiang Li's face instantly turn pale, she sneered, "Assistant Jiang, what are you doing? Isn't it just ordinary medicine? Why are you so nervous? Is it going to kill you? Or... this medicine in the syringe isn't medicine at all, but poison that can kill people?!"
Jiang Li's face contorted with rage as he glared fiercely at Lin Qinghe.
He knew better than anyone what was in the syringe. Once it entered the body, no medicine could counteract it. In five days, his organs would begin to fail, and no remedy could save him!
He was doomed!
Jiang Li glared at Lin Qinghe, and thinking that his life was ending, he ferociously lunged at her and grabbed her by the neck, gritting his teeth. "Lin Qinghe! I'll kill you! If I die, you won't live either. I'll kill you right now!"
Lin Qinghe's neck was being choked, and she struggled to break free. However, her right hand was still broken, so she couldn't exert any strength. Coupled with Jiang Li's uncontrollable rage, he was incredibly strong, and she couldn't break free. She slowly began to lose her breath.
Lin Qinghe's face turned red, she felt dizzy, her vision blurred, and her struggles against Jiang Li weakened.
Was she going to perish like this?
She had managed to fool Jiang Tao and Gu Hesheng, and Yu Rong had woken up. She was so close, only to be brought down by Jiang Li in the end?
Just as Lin Qinghe thought she was going to die, a figure rushed in and kicked Jiang Li, who was choking her, away.
Lin Qinghe collapsed on the ground, her body weak. Her neck was bruised from being choked. The lack of oxygen left her mind blank, unable to think, and her body unable to move.
Yu Rong, in a panic, picked up Lin Qinghe and patted her cheek. "Qinghe? Qinghe... how are you? Look at me?"
Lin Qinghe's pupils dilated slightly, and her breathing was faint. Yu Rong immediately laid her flat on the ground, unbuttoned her top button, and began to firmly press her chest while leaning down to give her artificial respiration.
After a few attempts, Lin Qinghe finally resumed her own breathing, coughed a couple of times, and her eyes became clearer.
She looked up at Yu Rong, her voice barely a whisper. "Yu Rong..."
Yu Rong clasped Lin Qinghe's hand and brought it to his face. His heart, which had been hanging precariously, finally settled.
Heaven knew how scared he was when he rushed in and saw Lin Qinghe being choked by Jiang Li, motionless! Sudancheng Novel Network
"It's me... I've come to pick you up. You said I should come and pick you up."
Lin Qinghe managed a weak smile. "Yes... I did say that."
Fortunately, Yu Rong arrived in time, or she would have kicked the bucket!
Jiang Li fell to the ground. The moment he saw Yu Rong, his face turned deathly pale. He froze for a long time before recovering his senses, then glared at Lin Qinghe in Yu Rong's arms with eyes full of hatred.
He had been harmed to this extent, and she thought that because Yu Rong came to save her, she could leave with Yu Rong and live freely ever after!
No!
She couldn't!
Even if he died, he would drag Lin Qinghe down with him!
A fierce hatred flashed in Jiang Li's eyes. Desperate, he grabbed a surgical knife lying nearby and lunged at Lin Qinghe.
Yu Rong looked up and saw Jiang Li holding the surgical knife, about to stab Lin Qinghe in the back. His eyes narrowed, and the surgical knife, just one centimeter from Lin Qinghe's back, stopped.
Jiang Li froze, his expression filled with disbelief and terror as he looked at Yu Rong.
Yu Rong remained unfazed. He bent down slowly, picked up Lin Qinghe, and took two steps back. He stared directly into Jiang Li's eyes and said coldly, his lips moving slightly, "Now! Immediately! Kill yourself!"
Jiang Li's eyes widened in horror. He watched helplessly as his own body became uncontrollable. The hand holding the surgical knife slowly moved towards his heart, and with a sudden surge of force, he plunged the knife into his own heart. Blood gushed out.
Jiang Li knelt down with a thud, never understanding why his limbs had become uncontrollable and why he had killed himself.
Lin Qinghe, witnessing this scene, was also shocked.
According to the system's information, after Yu Rong evolved into a zombie king, he could communicate with zombies and command all zombies. But now, he could clearly control human actions as well!
While Lin Qinghe was in a daze, Yu Rong cast a cold glance at Jiang Li's corpse, then looked away. He lowered his head and pressed his forehead against Lin Qinghe's, his stern expression instantly softening.
Yu Rong whispered, "Qinghe, I want to try with you..."
"What did you say? I... mmhmm..." Before Lin Qinghe could finish her sentence, Yu Rong kissed her fiercely.
Yu Rong's kiss was filled with urgency and desire, like an anxious attempt to confirm something. Lin Qinghe had no room to evade and could only accept his domineering and forceful embrace.
After the kiss, Lin Qinghe lay panting in Yu Rong's arms. He gazed at her and said in a deep voice, "Qinghe, last time you asked if I had started to like you, I said I didn't know. Later, I told you I seemed to like you. Now, I'll give you a definite answer."
Yu Rong paused, then said solemnly, "I really like you! I like you, Lin Qinghe... I like you..."
Lin Qinghe's heart was struck with a sudden jolt, and a feeling beyond words surged in her chest.
