"This is my last kindness towards you," the man said gently while his eyes flashed with bloodlust .
The syringe in his hand went straight for the blood vessel on Xinghe's arm .
Right at that moment, Xinghe opened her eyes!
Their eyes met and the man froze in his motion . Of course, he wasn't expecting her to wake up at a time like this .
To be fair, neither did Xinghe expect that the first thing to drift into her ears when she gained consciousness would be his monologue before he killed her .
She peeled open her eyes from sheer desire to live . She glared daggers at him .
Faced with her sudden awakening, the man was understandably flustered, however he quickly collected himself . Naturally, he was not cowed by Xinghe's evil stare .
AdvertisementHe chuckled coldly before adding, "Now that you've woken up, the more reason for me to kill you . Goodbye, Xia Meng . "
To his confusion, Xinghe suddenly collapsed back to unconsciousness . Everything was so sudden that the man suspected he was dreaming .
Was that some momentary recovery of consciousness before death? the man questioned himself .
Regardless, the man knew that dragging this on would only be detrimental to him . He pulled Xinghe's arm straight and stuck the needlepoint into her blood vessel .
However, before he could press down on the syringe, the guards outside the door said, "Young Master!"
Mubai nodded in response before walking into the room . The room was empty except for the unconscious Xinghe who lay on the bed . However, the window was open and a draft was blowing into the room . For some reason, Mubai felt a strange presence in the room .
"Who opened the window‽" Mubai demanded ferociously .
Xinghe was still recovering so the draft would do her more harm than good . Which idiot left this window open?
The guards huddled at the door and looked at each other curiously . "We have no idea, none of us opened it . "
Mubai walked to the window to check at its corner like he saw something but there was nothing out of the ordinary there .
Furthermore, this was the fifteenth floor, no one could have climb in from the window . So what was this sinking feeling in his stomach?
Mubai's face gloomed over and ordered the guards, "Spread out and be on the lookout for suspicious individuals . Someone was here!"
The guards were caught by surprise but soon moved to oblige .
Mubai sat back down beside Xinghe to inspect her situation . Eventually his eyes zeroed in on the small puncture wound her arm . Even though there were many wounds on her arms due to the IV but Mubai was sure this was a new one .
"F*ck!" Mubai quickly called for Lu Qi to check on Xinghe . He was deadly worried someone had done something harmful to her . Thankfully, Lu Qi didn't find anything worse than usual about her condition . Xinghe was still weak and dying .
"Maybe you're overthinking this," Lu Qi comforted him . He believed Mubai's psyche had been pulled a bit too taut recently .
Mubai was working on his laptop . He was looking through the security footage .
He chuckled mirthlessly at Lu Qi's words . "Someone has tampered with the hospital's security records and you still think I'm being too paranoid?"
"What?" Lu Qi frowned . "Can you recover the original data?"
Mubai shook his head . "The opponent tampered with the files before they made their move and not after, so there is not much I can do . "
The security videos were useless .
"Who are these people that they are so hell bent on taking Xia Meng's life?" Lu Qi asked solemnly .
Mubai's eyes flashed gruesomely when he answered, "We'll know when you finish your research . "
