When Jing Li regained consciousness, it was already the next day.

Intermittent sounds could be heard from outside.

Jing Li sat up abruptly, her eyes filled with an indescribable wariness, followed by excruciating pain from her body.

The feeling was like being bitten by countless ants all over your body; almost any movement would trigger a strong reaction from other parts of your body.

In addition, an unusually intense feeling of hunger was also stimulating Jing Li.

"Madam, you're awake?" A nurse opened the door and pushed a medical cart straight in.

He had a smile on his face and spoke very politely.

"You can't sit up right now. Your body is severely depleted, and you need to rest and recuperate."

She walked quickly to Jingli's bedside and tried to dissuade her.

Jing Li shifted her gaze to her. The girl looked quite young, like a recent graduate intern.

Jing Li didn't want to make things difficult for the young nurse, so she let her take her place.

Given her current physical condition, anything she wants to do is futile.

She came to her senses and looked around at her surroundings; she was the only person in her bed.

A private hospital room.

She asked, "Who brought me in?"

She was too exhausted to continue calculating, so she simply took one more step and slowly asked her own questions.

"Oh, it's your family. It seems to be a group of people, but I don't know exactly who they are. You'll see them when they get back. I'm just a nurse, I don't know much about this..."

The nurse sounded a little embarrassed and could only smile awkwardly.

"Oh," Jing Li replied indifferently.

She still remembered what had happened before, and the thing that hit her in the end was a bamboo flute, a bamboo flute that looked very familiar to her.

The specifics will probably only become clear after she recovers and visits Jinzhen Temple.

Incense offering ceremony!

Jing Li suddenly remembered this and raised her eyelids, "What's the date today?"

She wanted to find her phone, but feeling unwell and with her head buzzing, she had no idea where she had put it.

Seeing her actions, the nurse quickly stopped her, saying, "Madam, you really need to take good care of your health, otherwise you'll definitely end up with a lot of health problems."

She had never seen a body that looked fine on the outside but was on the verge of collapse inside. Now, every movement she made only increased the burden on her body.

Today is the 12th.

The nurse covered her with the blanket as she answered her.

"It's the 12th? August 12th?"

Jing Li continued to ask, her fingertips rubbing together slightly, her eyebrows furrowed, and her complexion not looking too good.

Tomorrow is the incense offering ceremony.

The first wave of backlash will hit next month, and if she doesn't get the second material, she'll have a hard time getting through it, unless...

That was an outcome she didn't want to see.

Yesterday's events were also a very upsetting thing.

The nurse, after operating the trolley for a while, finally answered, "Yes, August 12th. Madam, next, I need to give you an IV drip."

Jing Li cooperated with her. She was also very curious about the current medical treatment methods. In her time, the only items used were recovery pills and herbs. This method was rare.

Right now, she's watching the nurse give her the injection without moving.

The young nurse, made a little nervous by her, accidentally injected the wrong spot. She lowered her head and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry! I'm sorry, I... I'll fix it right away."

He even stammered.

"It's nothing." Jing Li stared at the ceiling above her head, her thoughts racing. She hadn't encountered anything so troubling in a long time. Who was watching her from behind?

The second time, without Jing Li's focused attention, the nurse successfully inserted the needle.

"Madam, your family has gone out to buy food for you and will be back soon. In the meantime, please feel free to call us if you encounter any inconvenience."

After giving polite instructions, the nurse pushed the stroller out again.

Jing Li extracted key information from her words.

Family? Buying them meals?

Yup!

She remembered that Nangong Qinghe had also fainted before she collapsed, but the people who were after her didn't kill her completely. How could they give up such a good opportunity?

And there's Nangong Qian's friend, Lin Zishan...

Jing Li chuckled, then laughed as she thought about the final outcome. It seemed she had really made a mess of things. She had no idea what would have happened if she hadn't been able to control herself in the end.

"Big guy!"

Before she even saw the person, the voice had already reached Jingli's ears.

Nangong Qian turned sideways and brushed past the nurse, then realized something was wrong, turned back, and grabbed the nurse, "Boss, are you alright now?"

Her face was filled with worry; who knows how anxious she was when she finally saw the big boss collapse?

None of the three people were sober.

Lying on the bed, Jingli closed her eyes and sighed inwardly, thinking, "It really is noisy."

Are all young girls this noisy?

Startled by her aloofness, the nurse replied helplessly, "Ms. Liang, you need to rest well now. You shouldn't do any strenuous work or engage in any large-scale movements, otherwise you'll develop a chronic illness that could become quite serious."

"The root cause of the problem!!!"

Nangong Qian didn't hear anything clearly, only the words "root cause of illness," and immediately started shouting, raising her voice very high.

"Madam, please don't get agitated. This is a hospital, and we need to keep quiet. The patient needs rest! If you have any needs, please ask the doctor!"

The nurse was getting a little annoyed. After saying that, she pushed the cart and prepared to leave. At this moment, she became very bold and was no longer afraid of offending these powerful people.

This older sister is also very pretty, but she's so loud and boisterous. She's nothing like the other girls in the other group, who are much more comfortable to be around. The other girls in the other group are really elegant and classy!

Like a fairy.

"I need to go to another ward now, could you please make way for me?"

She still needs to do her job well.

Nangong Qian didn't mind her tone. She was anxious to see Jing Li, so she let go of her and ran to Jing Li's bedside.

He called out to Jing Li in a low voice, "Big Boss?"

Seeing that Jingli didn't react, she immediately prepared to get into the bed to take Jingli's hand out.

Jing Li was far from being able to have such close contact with her. She opened her eyes and glanced indifferently at Nangong Qian. "What are you doing?"

Hearing Nangong Qian's voice, her guess was about to be confirmed.

It's probably Jiang Huaiyu and his group who brought them back.

"I knew you'd be alright, boss. You scared me to death. I thought I'd never see you again."

Nangong Qian unleashed a barrage of attacks.

Jingli felt a headache coming on.

"Stop, let's get down to business."

Nangong Qian paused, "Serious business? What serious business?"

Jing Li raised an eyebrow. "Where's your brother?"
