Chapter 916: Chapter 916: Gain and Loss (2)
Just how bad was the situation, the news of the cook taking her own life had yet to reach Gu Nuan. Zhao Mengjin was the first to hear another piece of news, saying that her sister-in-law’s Ferrari was in a chase by the riverbank, and it’s unclear if it fell into the river.
"What did you say?" At this point, Zhao Mengjin couldn’t contain her emotions and jumped up from her chair to ask.
Since when, Gu Nuan had become the only support in her heart after her mother and uncle had left.
Without Gu Nuan, she couldn’t even dare to think about what she would do next. No one could replace Gu Nuan.
Housekeeper Xiao, who reported the news to her, was also incredulous when he received the call. Could someone as smart as Gu Nuan, who seemed almost prophetic, fall into a trap?
Anyway, the person on the phone said that when Gu Nuan and the others were being chased by the riverbank, someone had already splashed horrible paint on the car they were in.
If they were lucky to escape the first attack, it’s really possible that they weren’t so fortunate the second time.
Like Zhao Mengjin, Housekeeper Xiao, upon hearing the bad news, felt his heart sink with despair.
The two stood facing each other, seemingly at a loss, with no way out.
They didn’t seem to notice that on the hospital bed, the crocodile-like figure half-opened an eye slightly: What, she’s dead? So, she died so quickly?
The White Flower Snake, who had declared war on him so arrogantly, was so easily taken into the river? Was that all she was capable of?
Zhao Mengjin stood there dazed, her mind nearly a blank slate, and just then, she suddenly heard a sigh-like sound from behind. Startled, she turned to look back, only to see Xiao Jianming’s sleeping figure.
"Miss?" Housekeeper Xiao asked about what to do.
Zhao Mengjin sat down as if contemplating and sighed, "There’s no way, I’m not as smart as my aunt, and I don’t know how to save Tai Laolao, I can only wait for death. I’m just a student who hasn’t even graduated. What I was able to do before was all taught by my aunt. Without her, I understand nothing."
Housekeeper Xiao could only blink in astonishment at her words.
Zhao Mengjin stretched lazily, moved to a makeshift cot in the room, and lay down to sleep.
Seeing her like this, Housekeeper Xiao had no choice but to leave the room nervously.
As the housekeeper left, the door closed, and the lights were turned off.
After the room fell into darkness, the old crocodile seemed unable to hold back, glanced over at Zhao Mengjin, and his expression seemed to say: Is that all you’ve got? No wonder the White Flower Snake could control you.
Pity that no matter how much he stared, Zhao Mengjin seemed to have fallen into a dead sleep.
Now, truly at a loss for what to do—

Xiao Sanatorium
At the basement level two elevator, Cyclops extended his long arm, his strength as terrifying as an ox’s, lifted Chairman Hong, who weighed over a hundred pounds, with ease, and directly pinned him against the elevator doors.
Chairman Hong was wedged between the two elevator doors like a piece of meat in a bun. The fat on his chin quivered, making it difficult for him even to make a sound from his throat.
He could only try his best to glare at the face before him with his two eyes.
Cyclops seemed to have said he knew this person, though to him, he didn’t recognize him; he had never seen this person before.
This man, his age unknown, was equipped like someone from special forces, with a black mask covering his face, leaving only his nostrils, eyeballs, and mouth visible.
