Chapter 1294: Chapter 1314

When Bai Ning woke up, she turned her head and saw two people sleeping on the sofa. Her brow furrowed as memories flooded back to her mind. She had failed her mission and was pursued to the brink of death several times, narrowly escaping to this city and hiding in an unoccupied shop.

At that moment, she thought she might truly die, never expecting there’d be a sliver of hope for survival.

Bai Ning wanted to get up, but as soon as she moved, her whole body screamed with pain, as if there wasn’t a single unscathed spot on her.

However, she keenly picked up the scent of medicine on her body. Had that person applied it for her?

Qiao Qiqi and Rong You woke up at the slight sound, both sitting up at the same time.

Bai Ning, "..."

Who were these two people? Quite alert, but she also knew they had saved her; otherwise, she would surely have died this time.

"You’re awake? How do you feel?" Qiao Qiqi got up and walked over first, turning on a light.

Of course, it wasn’t the brightest one.

Rong You also came over, his expression a bit unnatural.

"How bad are my injuries?" Bai Ning didn’t answer but instead asked a question. The frail young woman’s voice was enough to evoke sympathy.

Rong You looked at Bai Ning in her current state, so different from the time when she had threatened him with a dagger.

"You’ve been shot twice, countless knife wounds, the most severe in your abdomen. Fortunately, you managed to stop the bleeding yourself. I gave you painkillers, and we treated all your wounds. As long as you recuperate properly, you’ll survive." Qiao Qiqi explained truthfully.

Bai Ning hadn’t thought she’d gotten another shot at life, and she said, "Thank you then."

"I saved you entirely because of my Sixth Brother. It was he who saved you and called me to treat your injuries. Without him, you’d be a corpse now, so he’s the one you should thank." Qiao Qiqi immediately pushed her Sixth Brother into the spotlight.

Kidding, such a good chance to win over a beauty’s favor, what use would it be to her? Of course, it should be given to her dear Sixth Brother.

Bai Ning’s gaze fell on Rong You’s face, she paused and asked, "Have we met before?"

Rong You felt a bit nervous inside, but his expression remained unchanged, "You forgot, in the shop, you threatened me with a dagger."

"No, besides today, have we met?" Bai Ning was full of suspicion.

Rong You, "..."

He no longer wished to be connected to the past. From now on, his identity was Rong You, Sixth Young Master of the Rong Family, so he wouldn’t admit it.

"You might be mistaken. You’re hungry, right? My Sixth Brother ordered porridge for you and kept it warm, you can eat." Qiao Qiqi diverted the topic.

Bai Ning didn’t dwell on it either. Maybe she was mistaken. She was indeed very hungry now, so she said, "Thank you."

Qiao Qiqi saw she was polite and had her Sixth Brother go get the porridge, while she took Bai Ning’s pulse to check her condition.

Confirming that her condition was stable, Qiao Qiqi was relieved. This girl’s physical foundation was impressive; such severe injuries only needed rest to fully recover.

"Your body will need at least a month to recuperate properly. During this time, I’ll come to change your dressings, and you should rest in bed as much as possible." Qiao Qiqi advised her.

Bai Ning frowned. She wasn’t sure if this place was safe; if those people tracked her down, she’d be doomed.
