Chapter 328: 328, This is Going Against the Heavens (1)_1
The horizon turned the color of fish belly white, and the sun slowly rose.
The dawn light pierced through the clouds, seeped through the window, and scattered around the ward.
On the bed, the man’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, and the next second, his closed eyes slowly opened, a cold glint flashing through his deep purple eyes.
Sensing the warmth covered on his hand, he lowered his gaze. When his gaze fell on the sleeping person by the bed, the frost in his eyes melted instantly.
Perhaps the man’s gaze was too focused and hot, the sleeping woman’s fluttering eyelashes lightly trembled, casting a faint shadow under her eyelids.
She turned her slightly sore neck, and by unwitting chance, her gaze met the man’s bewitching purple eyes, causing her to start slightly.
Immediately after, a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes, “Jingwu!”
“Why didn’t you come up to sleep?” Quan Jingwu looked at her tenderly, his tone full of concern, “Sleeping on the edge of the bed, what if you catch a cold?”
Jian Qing shook her head, the corners of her lips curving upwards, “Isn’t it because I was afraid that I might unintentionally hurt you while sleeping?”
Quan Jingwu chuckled and prepared to sit up.
“Slow down.” Jian Qing saw this and quickly got up to help him.
The minor injury on his abdomen was nothing to him at all, he had endured greater injuries before.
However, it was also nice to have his wife fuss over him a bit.
Quan Jingwu sat up and patted the empty spot on the bed, “Sweetie, come up.”
The hospital bed was big, more than enough for the two of them.
Jian Qing took off her shoes, lifted the covers, and got on the bed.
No sooner had her feet touched the bed than she was pulled into a warm embrace.
Her forehead collided with the man’s sturdy chest, causing a slight pain.
But it made her feel incredibly secure and satisfied.
“Jingwu, be careful not to hurt yourself.”
She lowered her gaze to the wound on his body, propping herself up to carefully avoid it.
Quan Jingwu didn’t care and held her tightly in his arms.
“Sweetie, next time, don’t get hurt for me, okay?”
The rich, magnetic voice spoke slowly, carrying a captivating tenderness.
Jian Qing raised her head to meet his gaze and smiled, “Alright, but you also shouldn’t get hurt for me next time.”
He could risk his life to protect her, and she could do the same.
Something he couldn’t do, he had no right to ask her to do.
Quan Jingwu was momentarily caught by surprise, his eyes revealed a hint of helplessness after a moment.
He tousled her long hair, lightly kissed her clear eyes, “I really don’t know what to do with you!”
Jian Qing nestled in his arms and chuckled mischievously.
He woke up finally, that’s great!
As if recalling something, she subtly moved out of his arms.
“Jingwu, let me check your wound.”
Just now when he pulled her, she didn’t know if he had torn the wound.
Quan Jingwu allowed her to lift the corner of his clothes. Jian Qing saw no seep of blood on the white bandage and sighed in relief.
After rearranging his clothes, she was about to withdraw her hand when it was held by his.
“Did you apply medicine?”
Jian Qing paused, noticing him looking at her hand, she came back to her senses.
“I did, don’t worry. The medicine was brought by Fu Heng.”
Quan Jingwu’s thin lips pressed together as he uttered an “Mm”.
“Right, Jingwu, I have something to show you.”
Not wanting him to dwell in guilt, Jian Qing changed the topic.
Without waiting for his response, she reached over to the bedside table and picked up the hidden dart extracted from his abdomen by Fu Heng last night.
The dark dart, unique in shape, was hexagonal and about a finger length in size.
Upon closer examination, a barely perceptible totem was carved at the hexagonal dart’s tail end.
It resembled a burning flame.
Quan Jingwu glanced at the object in her hand and took it from her.
He toyed with the dart in his fingers, his gaze lingering on the tiny totem, an unfathomable light shooting up in his eyes.
“I’ve already had someone investigation this, we should hear back soon.” Jian Qing said.
With this dart, identifying the culprit behind the scenes should be much easier.
“Jingwu, can I handle this matter?”
Those people obviously came after her, regardless, they had hurt the person she cared about the most, she wouldn’t let a single one of them off.
Quan Jingwu carelessly tossed the object back onto the bedside table, and then he pulled her into his arms, “However you want to deal with it, as long as you are happy.”
Jian Qing lifted her head and gave his lips a quick peck, “Jingwu is the best.”
He laughed lightly, a finger pinched her cheek, “Early in the morning and your mouth is already so sweet, hmm?”
“Yes, would you like to taste it?” Jian Qing’s lips curled provocatively, she wrapped her arms around his neck and willingly offered her lips.
Quan Jingwu’s purple eyes deepened, his hand secured her head, deepening the kiss.
Their lips met, intertwining playfully. Jian Qing felt breathless like the air was being squeezed out of her chest, her body softened and leaned against him.
“Knock knock knock–”
The rhythmic knocking on the door interrupted their sweet moments.
Jian Qing gently pushed him away, her cheeks dyed a tempting cherry red.
“Cough, I need to go to the bathroom first.”
Without looking, she could imagine how red her face was.
To avoid embarrassment, it would be better to wash her face first.
Finishing her words, she lifted the covers and briskly walked into the bathroom.
Quan Jingwu watched her hurriedly escaping figure, a low chuckle escaped his lips.
When he spoke, his tone reverted to his usual coldness.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and Fu Heng and Shen Hao walked in.
Seeing Quan Jingwu sitting on the bed, their shared worry eased.
“Boss!”
Quan Jingwu gave a slight nod, and Fu Heng walked over to check on him.
“Boss, the poison in your body has been completely cleared, and your abdominal wound will be fine with a few days of rest,” Fu Heng said.
At this moment, Jian Qing also came out of the bathroom.
“Madam!” the two men greeted Jian Qing in unison.
Jian Qing gave a faint smile and was about to say something when she heard a soft noise from her computer.
It was a special alert she had set for messages from the Jian family headquarters.
She walked over, picked up her computer, and sat on the edge of the bed.
Shen Hao and Fu Heng knew about Jian Qing’s skills with computers and silently watched as she worked.
Jian Qing’s focus was on the screen as she opened her email.
A long thread of information popped up.
“Blood Oath.”
Shen Hao’s eyes caught the main point of the information, and his face turned grim.
Blood Oath, a merciless assassin organization that only acknowledged money. As long as you could afford their price, they would take action, whether the target was an old person, a woman, or even a child. Once a mission was accepted, they were relentless.
Many in the underworld despised their methods.
Jian Qing’s eyes flickered, her face calm as she skimmed through the information.
Fu Heng watched from the side and couldn’t help but give Jian Qing a thumbs up.
Such comprehensive information, probably not even Blood Oath had. 𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑝𝘶𝘣.𝑐𝘰𝘮
His wife was shaking the heavens.
However, remembering that Jian Qing was the head of the Jian family of M Country, he found it only natural.
The Jian family from M Country was deeply rooted in the underworld after all.
