"hiss."
The torn knee felt a stinging pain when it came into contact with alcohol. She only gasped at first, but then endured it without making any sound. She then used a cotton swab to wipe the lingering water stains near the wound.
Qiao Nian quickly disinfected her wounds and applied medicine. She even bandaged some of the larger abrasions with gauze.
However, she tied it very casually, just to prevent the wound from rubbing against the fabric of the clothes, and it was far from being as careful as the treatment provided by professional medical staff.
It took Qiao Nian more than an hour to finish all this.
She endured it all by herself for over an hour, without ever complaining of being tired or in pain.
Qiao Nian had just finished treating her wound and hadn't even put on her bathrobe when she saw the phone screen on the desk light up. It was Ye Wangchuan calling.
She swiftly pulled up her bathrobe to cover the traces of gauze and walked to the window to answer it.
"Hello."
From the tone of her voice, no one could tell that she was hurt.
Ye Wangchuan watched the video and saw that her hair was still wet and hanging on her shoulders. She didn't see anything unusual. "I heard what Gu San said."
The moment Qiao Nian saw his phone call, she knew that he must have heard what Gu San said about the incident at the entrance of the First Research Institute: "It was an accident."
The place where her knee was scraped when she walked was still a little painful. Qiao Nian subconsciously frowned slightly, but soon relaxed: "I have taken care of it."
It was just a subtle little expression to her.
Few people would notice the instantaneous change in Qiao Nian's expression, but Ye Wangchuan was not one of them.
When he saw Qiao Nian walking a little slower than usual, he realized that she might be injured.
But he did not expose it, but followed Qiao Nian's words: "Do you know who is behind this?"
Qiao Nian sat on the edge of the bed, paying careful attention to the angle of her phone so that he wouldn't see the abrasion medicines on the desk that hadn't been put away yet.
"Know."
She lazily half-leaned on the bed, looking a little nonchalant and cold, but there was coldness in her eyes: "Someone from the hidden family." Ye Wangchuan thought she didn't want to say it.
The next second the girl lazily said her name.
"Zhai Xicheng."
Ye Wangchuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze becoming dangerous: "I'll arrange for a few people to protect you nearby."
We'll talk about the rest when he comes back.
Who knew Qiao Nianting said nonchalantly: "I had someone shoot him down in international waters some time ago. He just wanted to give me a warning and tell me that he was different from the people I met before."
The mercenary said he didn't want to kill her, and Qiao Nian believed what he said.
Because if the other party wanted her life from the beginning, he could have shot her or attacked her with a knife when the motorcycle rushed over.
Then her injuries would be much more serious than they are now!
But the mercenary didn't do that. He just accelerated and drove towards her.
Motorcycles are not like cars. With the same impact force, a motorcycle can at most cause serious injuries or disability to a person, but it is unlikely to be fatal.
Zhai Xicheng just wanted to teach her a lesson.
It is also a disguised provocation.
However, in the current independent state, there are really few people who dare to take on his job.
Zhai Xicheng was quite smart, thinking of finding the underground organization and doing it so cleanly. If he were not his opponent, Qiao Nian would have admired him.
Have brains, have revenge, have guts and dare to do it.
Qiao Nian's blood became excited.
"I've asked Guan Yan to check on him. He'll find out his whereabouts soon. Then I'll return the gift package to him."
