"Zeling Studio, have you made an appointment?" The secretary at the front desk frowned slightly.
"Yes."
"Wait, let me check..." The secretary flipped through the appointment list, "Oh, there is this appointment, but Mr. Wang is on a business trip abroad and is not here."
"What? On a business trip?" Ning Xi's expression changed slightly.
Even if there was something urgent, at least inform her in advance, right? For this morning, she even pushed a notice to Lin Zhizhi...
The secretary on the other side did not show any remorse at all. She was busy with her own work and casually replied, "Come back next time."
"Then... when is the next time? When will Mr. Wang return to China?" Ning Xi asked again.
"Not sure, waiting for notification."
The other party sent her away with just two sentences. After preparing for so long, she had to make an appointment all over again.
Although I knew it wouldn't be that easy, I didn't expect to even see the person in the end. It's impossible not to feel frustrated...
There is no choice but to wait.
On the river bank, Ning Xi enjoyed the breeze for a while, and her depressed mood finally improved a little.
Just as she was about to go home, she turned around and saw an old man standing by the railing not far opposite her.
The old man was leaning on a cane and had white hair, but his back looked very straight and there was no sign of hunchback at all. At this moment, the old man was staring at the sea, as if he was worried about something.
Ning Xi just felt that the aura of this person was somewhat special, so she took a closer look, but didn't pay much attention and continued walking forward.
At this time, an old default mobile phone ringtone sounded, and the old man answered the call. Then the old man's face suddenly changed. Not only that, his face became more and more painful. Soon he could not hold on and fell to the ground...
Ning Xi watched this scene happen, and reflexively rushed over to help the old man up, "Old man! Old man! How are you?"
The old man covered his chest, his face turned purple, his breathing became more and more rapid, and in the end he almost couldn't breathe.
It looks like he's having a heart attack!
Ning Xi was about to ask him if he had any medicine with him, but the next second, she saw a small white bottle fall from the old man's trembling hands to the ground, and unexpectedly rolled into the river...
Before her brain could react, Ning Xi's body had already responded on its own. With a "plop", she jumped over the railing and into the river, then scooped up the small white medicine bottle before it sank.
After climbing ashore, he unscrewed the lid without wasting a second and poured out a few pills. "How many?"
Fortunately, the old man was still conscious and said the number "three" with his lips.
Ning Xi immediately fed the medicine in, and then performed some simple first aid based on her memory.
Finally, after a while, the old man's complexion gradually recovered.
Ning Xi was soaked from head to toe, with river water and sweat mixed together. Seeing that the old man had finally recovered, she breathed a sigh of relief, "Old man, I'll take you to the hospital!"
“No… no need…” the old man refused intermittently, with a very firm attitude, “Little girl, please… take me to… Chang’an Road… No. 7…”
"Really? We don't need to go to the hospital? But you..."
"It's okay, my own body... I know what's going on... Little girl... Sorry to bother you... Hurry..."
Ning Xi saw that the old man was very persistent, as if there was something particularly urgent, so she had no choice but to drive the car over and then drove to the address the old man mentioned.
When they were almost there, Ning Xi was stunned for a moment.
Changan Road…
Isn’t this a military compound
