Chapter 3991: Chapter 3991: Master Wang Peels Tangerines for Sister Nian

Ye Wangchuan slightly closed his eyes, his features sharp, showing no sign of pain on his face.

But as Qiao Nian’s gaze shifted downward, she saw his hand gripping the bedsheet, veins bulging, which didn’t match the calm demeanor he portrayed.

Having experienced such pain herself many times, Qiao Nian couldn’t bear to watch and turned her eyes away. Once the medicine took effect, she turned back to layer gauze over his shoulder wound. She softly said, "From now on, change the dressing every three days, and then once a week after a month, until your wound scabs over."

"Mm." Ye Wangchuan opened his eyes, sunlight streamed in, falling on his high nose bridge, casting a golden glow on his eyelashes.

He pulled up his clothes, buttoning up as he spoke to Qiao Nian, his voice hoarse, "Are you going to release Nie Qingru?"

"She can’t die in the illegal zone."

Qiao Nian didn’t mention the transaction between the reclusive family and Beijing, as she bent over to move the medical box aside, then sat on the chair by the bed, and began peeling the fruits Qin Si and others had bought.

"I went to see her. She doesn’t know the reclusive family is about to impeach her. She’ll have plenty to deal with when she returns."

Qiao Nian handed over the peeled orange, a faint light flickered in her dark eyes, her tone as casual as ever, "Sometimes breaking a person’s will is more painful than killing them. To die just like that would be too easy for her."

After listening, Ye Wangchuan reached out to take the orange suspended in mid-air. Seeing the girl’s undisguisable coldness, he knew the scene with Nie Qingru wouldn’t have been pleasant.

He didn’t bring up Nie Qingru again, instead patiently removed the meshed fiber from the orange and softly said, "And what about Di Xicheng..."

"I’m still having people look for him." Qiao Nian furrowed her brows in irritation, reaching into her pocket for a lighter.

Before she took it out, she saw the man on the bed, quietly swapped it for a candy, held it between her fingers but didn’t eat it. Relaxing her brows, she pretended to speak lightly, "A living person can’t just disappear without a trace; he’s definitely nearby."

Actually, Ye Wangchuan had a hypothesis, but noticing the anxiety in the girl’s eyes, he chose not to voice it, instead handing the carefully peeled orange back, "We’ll find him eventually."

Seeing the orange she had peeled back in front of her, Qiao Nian paused, looked up and met the deep inkiness in the man’s eyes.

Her heart skipped a beat.

She slowly accepted it, her dark eyes deep, lips pressed together, "I haven’t figured out how to explain what Lu Zhi did this time."

For Lu Zhi to have done such a thing, surely everyone would turn against him.

She wasn’t someone who hesitated.

But this also involved Jian Jin.

Qiao Nian had always been indifferent to outside matters but knew what Jian Jin’s long-standing dream had been.

Jian Jin always hoped the three of them would continue together for a long time.

This time Jian Jin was even willing to risk falling out with Lu Zhi, despite her own safety, to rush to the Red Alliance headquarters. No matter what, she couldn’t immediately confront Lu Zhi after this, asking for an arm or leg.

However, after this incident, Qiao Nian was certain that she couldn’t be friends with Lu Zhi any longer.

They stood on different ground, had different principles. Not to mention that Lu Zhi’s actions this time crossed her bottom line; it went too far.

No matter how life-and-death their past friendship was, he shouldn’t have treated it as something to use at will.
