"Waaaaah, I thought I'd died again! I'll never see you guys again. This time I don't have any leverage to negotiate with anyone..."

Ling Yue rambled on, spouting nonsensical things, her entire body practically clinging to Jing Yucheng, tightly hugging his neck as if afraid she would disappear at any moment.

"Baby... I think I need to sleep..."

After Jing Yucheng finished speaking, he kissed the top of Ling Yue's head, and then he really seemed to fall asleep.

The hand that was holding Ling Yue slowly fell down...

Ling Yue felt Jing Yucheng's body temperature change from warm to cold in her arms, and only then did she realize that something was wrong.

As I got up from his embrace, I realized that he had already closed his eyes and was completely numb.

Ling Yue subconsciously checked his breath; he wasn't breathing!

"Jing Yucheng? What happened to you? Jing Yucheng! Don't scare me..."

Ling Yue shook his body, but he didn't react.

Then I patted his face again, but he still didn't react.

When Xiao Jia heard Ling Yue shouting from the back row, he knew something was wrong, but it was also within his expectations.

Seeing that the boss's face was turning red from Ling Yue's slaps, she couldn't help but remind him, "Miss Ling, please stop torturing my boss's body. Just let him sit peacefully. We'll be there soon."

Ling Yue was annoyed by Xiao Jia's nonchalant attitude.

"Xiao Jia, you're so heartless! Your boss is dead, how come you're not worried at all?"

"Let's get to the hospital right away, please, drive faster."

Looking in the rearview mirror, Xiao Jia saw Ling Yue crying until her voice became hoarse, and he was still hesitant about whether to tell her the truth.

"Miss Ling, don't worry, the boss is fine. You'll know when we get there."

That tone again!

Jing Yucheng was too big, so Ling Yue could only use herself as support, letting his head rest against her body to make him as comfortable as possible.

Even though I know he no longer knows what comfort or discomfort means...

Ling Yue finally calmed down. Why hadn't she seen a red aura around Jing Yucheng from beginning to end?

She could see the time of death of that driver in seconds.

No, she clearly remembers being in a ride-hailing car, and about to die in a car accident with the driver.

How did I end up in Jing Yucheng's car?

What happened to that ride-hailing driver?

"Xiao Jia, what's going on? Why am I in your car? I was definitely in a ride-hailing car just now, and I think I saw that car about to veer off into the road..."

"Then you'll have to wait until the boss wakes up and ask him yourself."

"What do you mean? Your boss can wake up? Pshaw! I mean, can he really wake up? What... when?"

Ling Yue was completely bewildered. She was a woman of many experience, but she had never seen anything like Jing Yucheng's situation before, and she was utterly helpless...

"You'll know when you get there."

Ling Yue held Jing Yucheng's "corpse" in her arms, praying that he would wake up soon.

When they arrived at the "place" Xiao Jia had mentioned, Ling Yue was stunned by what she saw.

This place is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there is not a single household in it.

There was only one three-story villa standing here. The house looked like it was built in the style of the last century. Even in the middle of the night, the cawing of crows could be heard from time to time.

It was a bit creepy, and I unconsciously quickened my pace to keep up with Xiao Jia carrying Jing Yucheng.

The villa was quite tidy inside. Xiao Jia walked to the front door and knocked three times rhythmically.

Immediately afterwards, an elderly man came to open the door. He was well-dressed, wore gold-rimmed glasses, and looked to be in good spirits.

What happened to the sage?

Xiao Jia coughed and gestured for him to look at Ling Yue behind him.

When the old man saw Ling Yue, he was clearly taken aback, and then said in a friendly manner, "Miss Ling, please come in, please come in."

Does he know himself?

Although Ling Yue had questions, she still greeted them politely.

The villa was brightly lit. Xiao Jia carried Jing Yucheng upstairs with practiced ease and went into a bedroom.

Ling Yue followed closely behind; this room was almost identical to Jing Yucheng's bedroom in the Jing family's old mansion.

Xiao Jia put Jing Yucheng on the bed, and Ling Yue went over to take off his shoes and cover him with a blanket. He really looked like he was asleep.

Ling Yue asked softly, "When will Jing Yucheng wake up?"

The elderly man wearing gold-rimmed glasses smiled and replied, "Miss Ling, please follow me."

What's this guy up to?

Ling Yue knew he meant no harm, so she followed him to a reception room.

Soon someone served them tea. It was a young man who looked delighted when he saw Ling Yue.

Upon seeing this, the old man coughed, and the young man quickly left the room.

"What's wrong with Jing Yucheng? Can he really... wake up?"

"Of course, Young Master Saint... has just exhausted his energy. He will recover in forty-nine days."

"Energy depleted?"

How could an ordinary person like him run out of energy?

"Well... I can't go into the details of the reasons, just think of it as him taking a break for a while, and it won't have any other impact."

"Miss Ling, please stay here tonight."

"Xiao Jiu, go and prepare a guest room for Miss Ling."

The young man just responded through the door.

They must have gone out and been waiting outside the door.

Another forty-nine days have passed...

"So Jing Yucheng just slept like that for the past forty-nine days without eating?"

The old man laughed after hearing this, "Of course, as I just said, it won't have any impact."

"Don't worry. Of course, it's best not to tell anyone what happened today during this time. Just live your normal life. We'll take care of everything for the young master, so don't worry."

Oh, so you mean you want her to have selective amnesia, right?

And during this period, I can't see Jing Yucheng either...

"Why can't I come to see him? Forty-nine days! That's such a long time..."

They've only just started dating, and now they're going to be separated for so long?

And this was all done without knowing whether he was dead or alive!

She really can't do it...

“Miss Ling, you can think of it this way: just think of him as going on a business trip. Not letting anyone see him is actually to protect him. I hope you can understand. After all, his physical health cannot be compromised during this time.”

That's right. Compared to Jing Yucheng's life and death, these petty feelings are insignificant.

"Can you guarantee that Jing Yucheng will wake up in forty-nine days?"

"Of course! Young Master's safety is a matter of life and death for everyone here."
