Without waiting for her to finish her sentence, Lin Mingxi broke out, “Has gone missing! Beicheng and I intended to tell you as well. Gu Dongcheng has gone mad these few days. He can’t find any leads at all.”

“I can tell the two of you for sure, she’s done this time. There is no way she can get back on her feet anymore.”

Gu Beicheng narrowed her eyes, a smile forming on his face. “That’s true. If that person doesn’t strike a blow, it’s fine. But when he does, he leaves his opponent with nowhere to escape to.”

An Xiaoning frowned. “Which person are you referring to?”

“Which do you think?”

Lin Mingxi stretched her back lazily. “The two of you can continue playing riddle games like this, but we all know who did it without even speaking his name. Since some person has struck a blow, it’s a good thing. The threat toward all of us will finally be eliminated for good.”

The three broke into laughter as they all understood everything that was left unsaid.

An Xiaoning brought the clothes and shoes that Lin Mingxi had bought for her into her own room. She did not rest immediately as it was still early. Thinking of the eight people who were hospitalized, she then decided to pay them a visit.

She put on her mask and drove to the hospital.

Considering that they had to be hospitalized for some time, An Xiaoning arranged for the group to stay in two big wards. Each ward had four beds, which was convenient for them as they could spend time together and help each other out.

An Xiaoning arrived on the ninth floor of the hospital ward department and searched for each room by their room number.

When she reached the entrance of the ward, she heard a woman’s voice coming from inside. Thinking that it was just a female doctor speaking, she didn’t think much about it and pushed open the door before entering the ward.

Standing at the edge of the bed was a woman dressed in a coat made of leopard skin and high boots. She had short hair and looked like she was about the age of thirty-eight or thirty-nine years old.

Her eyes looked like she had just cried, and in between her fingers was a cigarette.

Behind her stood a tall and sturdy man with a scar on his face. He had rather nasty looks, especially those huge eyes of his.

Upon hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the two turned to look.

It was not only those two who’d shifted their attention over; even the four on the hospital beds also had their eyes fixed on the door.

Seeing that it was An Xiaoning who came, the four men on the hospital beds greeted her “Master” in an orderly manner.

An Xiaoning watched as the master and servant duo stood by No. 8’s bedside, then noticed that No. 8’s expression looked particularly ugly. At that moment, she seemed to have understood something.

She simply walked past these two and enquired, “What did the doctor say?”

No. 1 answered, “The doctor said that we just have to be warded for some time and we’ll be able to recover fully. No. 3’s gastric problem needs more nursing while No. 2 and No. 13’s are old ailments. Their condition will also become more stable after treatment for some time. No. 12 and No. 14’s problems are congenital, so they can only take medication to maintain their condition.”

He had updated her on everyone’s condition, with No. 8’s being the only exception.

An Xiaoning nodded. “That’s good. All of you must get treatment properly.”

“You’ve seen our Boss here and don’t even greet her? You’re quite unreasonable, aren’t you?” The man standing behind the woman finally spoke.

An Xiaoning tucked her hair behind her ears and said with a grin, “Oh, I’m sorry, but I’ve always been like a crab. In A City, I get my way like that. Whoever your Boss is, I haven’t heard of it. 1”

Seeing that the man was about to strike a blow, the woman spoke. “Ah Liang, don’t act rashly.”

The man called Ah Liang seemed like he was itching to have a go. “Boss, I’m not acting rashly. I really want to have this woman, she actually looks quite pretty.”

His words had just landed when No. 3 could not help but remark, “Who do you think you are? You dare to act so arrogantly in front of our master?!”

Ah Liang was about to head toward No. 3 to teach him a lesson, but he had just taken two steps forward when he felt a sharp pain on his abdomen and, before he could recover, his sturdy body fell flat on the ground. Shortly after, a shoe was pressed against his face. He wanted to get back up but he was rendered motionless.

The people in the hospital ward turned pale with fright. Even Ah Liang’s master, Sister Zhang, frowned.

An Xiaoning looked down at the man from her height and uttered coldly, “You’re asking for death, aren’t you?”

Ah Liang would never have expected that a grown man like him would lose to a small and petite woman. Furthermore, he had not even gotten the chance to return a blow. It was a huge humiliation for him.

“Please spare him, it was my underling who’d acted rashly,” Sister Zhang requested.

An Xiaoning rolled her eyes at her before lifting her leg. Ah Liang sulkily crawled up and rubbed the mark from the shoe left on his face while immediately hiding behind Sister Zhang.

“May I know what your name is, Miss?”

An Xiaoning seemed as if she was unwilling to even give her the slightest amount of face. “You don’t deserve to know.”

Sister Zhang was at a loss for words. She had been used to calling the shots, and, seeing that her opponent was also not someone to be trifled with, she went straight to the point. “This man is mine. Name a price, I’ll buy him from you.”

The person she was referring to was none other than No. 8.

An Xiaoning could not comprehend. “How are you related to him?”

“I used to be his Master.”

An Xiaoning finally understood what was going on. Seeing that No. 8’s face had turned as white as a sheet, she replied, “What is the situation? You’ve sold him away and landed him in this state, now why are you buying him back?”

“You don’t have to be concerned about this. Just name a price.”

An Xiaoning’s lips curled into a smirk. “I simply have no intention of selling him. If there’s anything I lack, it isn’t money.”

“You...” Sister Zhang did not expect her to be so unreasonable. “It’s just a man, and an insignificant one at that. It’s better if you sell him back to me.”

“Why is that?”

Sister Zhang signaled Ah Liang behind her to excuse himself. “Go out and wait.”

“Yes.”

After he had gone out, Sister Zhang finally replied, “Yun Chen is the man I love.”

It was the first time An Xiaoning had heard of this name, which No. 8 was supposedly called. Yun Chen?

“Why did you abandon him, then?”

“He infuriated me. I was just acting out of anger.” It seemed that Sister Zhang was really concerned about No. 8.

An Xiaoning sat by No. 8’s bed and enquired, “Are you willing to be redeemed by her? If you are, I’ll naturally let you have your wish. If you aren’t, even if it’s by a heavenly god, I won’t let you be taken away.”

No. 8 looked up at her, his handsome face visibly moved. “I’m naturally unwilling to.”

“Then, there’s nothing left to say. Since he’s unwilling, you can go now.”

“I heard you spent ten million to buy fourteen people. I’ll give you twenty million.” Sister Zhang was persistent. “How about that?”

The four men on the hospital bed, including No. 8, turned to look at An Xiaoning. His hands were clenched tightly onto the bottom of the covers, and he was on tenterhooks.

An Xiaoning stood up and glanced at Sister Zhang with her arms crossed. “If he’s willing to leave with you, I’d let him leave without receiving a single cent. However, since he’s unwilling, even if you give me two billion dollars, I wouldn’t agree. I’m a person with dignity. Since you abandoned him back then, no matter the reason, you now won’t get to have him back anymore. You seem like a rich person as well, just that you may have played with too many men before, most probably those young lads out there. But your health is the most important, so take care.”

“You’ve really got the nerve!” Sister Zhang clenched her teeth and glared at her furiously before turning to leave.

The door was slammed shut, and the other three in the ward immediately cheer out loud. No.8 also muttered, “Thank you, Master.”

An Xiaoning sat on the chair and responded, “What’s there to thank? I’m just doing what I should. Then again, who exactly is she?”
