As Xia Wange helped Lu Qiu into the car, she waved while reversing, saying, "Hey, Vice President, we'll be there later."

After saying that, he slammed on the gas and reversed, then slammed on the gas again and sped off.

This wasn't even the most speechless thing for Lu Qiu. The most speechless thing was that he had just heard Xia Wange's inner thoughts again:

[Oh no! I forgot about the hospital. It seems a bit late. I need the boss's help to attract some attention from the underworld officials so I can get on with my business!]

So he's just a brick now? Moved wherever he's needed.

Could someone please turn off this inexplicable mind-reading ability?

Sometimes it's really frustrating to be able to read minds on someone.

At the hotel entrance, the vice president watched Lu Qiu's car disappear before finally letting out a sigh of relief. His companion whispered, "Uncle, who was that person just now?"

"The second son of the Lu family in Dongcheng," the vice president said in a low voice. "His family's ancestral home is here. I heard he's been coming here to recuperate in recent years, and his parents have come back with him."

"The Lu family of Dongcheng, huh?" the vice president's nephew remarked. "No wonder he has such an extraordinary air about him, it's just those legs..."

The vice president glared at him. "Say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't say."

The vice president's nephew immediately fell silent. After a moment, he whispered, "The penthouse suite?"

"Of course we'll keep them," the vice president said. "Didn't you see they were both wearing matching bracelets?"

The nephew suddenly realized that indeed, President Lu was wearing a green bracelet and the woman was wearing a white one. Because the two bracelets were particularly beautiful, he had taken a second look at them.

"This leg isn't good..."

The vice president glared at him, "Isn't it enough that things are going well elsewhere? Worry about what you should worry about, and don't worry about what you shouldn't! Don't be fooled by his politeness; if you really piss him off, you won't just be unable to stay here, you can forget about making big money for the rest of your life!"

The vice president's nephew shrank back, feeling a lingering fear.

At the same time, he realized once again what it means for even heroes to be unable to resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Just now, that pretty woman pushed President Lu and ran. He even saw President Lu almost being thrown off, but she didn't say anything.

Xia Wange sped all the way to the hospital and pushed him towards the ICU. Lu Qiu held on tightly to both sides. To be honest, he hadn't felt this kind of brisk walking feeling in a long time.

As soon as they arrived at the building, a short-haired woman with glasses, dressed in a sharp and capable manner, rushed out. She glared angrily at Xia Wange, "Xia Wange! How many times have I called you, you bastard..."

The other person's anger plummeted the moment their gaze fell upon Lu Qiu. Their previously fierce expression vanished instantly. "Your elegant arrival truly delights me."

Xia Wange squeezed the armrest of the wheelchair.

Pushing Lu Qiu here was definitely the right decision.

Lu Qiu sat slightly to the side, raising her hand to support her chin.

Ha ha.

Zhao Wan's expression changed repeatedly. She looked at Xia Wange, then at Lu Qiu, and forced a smile with all her might. She then desperately tried to wink at Xia Wange, her voice barely audible through clenched teeth, "Hurry up and leave, he's beyond saving. The doctors have issued several critical condition notices, and they're even preparing for a death sentence."

Xia Wange didn't say much, and quickly pushed Lu Qiu into the elevator. After they got out of the elevator, she took out a red stone and squatted down in front of Lu Qiu.

"Boss, you might see some strange people chatting with you later. Try to talk to them as much as possible to buy me some time. Don't worry, it won't do you any harm."

After saying that, Xia Wange clasped her hands together, her eyes looking pitiful.

The chosen one of destiny does not want to take the Yin Stone, and no one can force him to take it.

Even if she were to become an immortal, let alone a person of metaphysics who currently lacks spiritual energy, she still couldn't force the chosen one of destiny.

Comparing yourself to others is just asking for trouble.

Lu Qiu pursed her lips, glanced at the stone, then looked at Xia Wange's eyes. After enduring for three seconds, she resigned herself to taking the stone.

Strange people...

He would have believed it if he hadn't heard the other person's true feelings.

Looking at the deserted hospital corridor and the green light in the emergency exit, Lu Qiu felt goosebumps rise on his arms and his whole body grow cold.

Please, although he's incredibly impressive in the other person's eyes, he's ultimately a staunch materialist who has grown up under the banner of science for over twenty years, and his worldview has only changed in the last few days.

In summary.

He is afraid.

Clearing his throat, Lu Qiu hinted, "Someone weirdo?"

"Well... actually, they're not really people," Xia Wange described. "Just think of them as a few magnetic energy sources, like the magnetic energy that hasn't dissipated on Earth and is now coming to take some other magnetic energy that has detached from the body to other places."

Lu Qiu: "..."

I almost believed your explanation.

"Anyway, you're the safest person in the world, so you don't need to be afraid at all. They should be the ones afraid of you." Xia Wange took out a sandalwood plaque tied with a red string and placed it in the other person's hand. "There's a trace of my soul... a trace of my energy in this. If you encounter any trouble, just break it, and I'll know immediately and come over. Don't worry."

Then he slipped her a purse, saying, "This is the people's most steadfast faith. Take it; it will protect your will."

Lu Qiu paused slightly, clutching the sandalwood plaque and purse in his hand. When he came to his senses and looked up again, he found that Xia Wange had already left the elevator lobby with another person.

Lu Qiu: "..."

He suspected that Xia Wange was using a diversionary tactic to distract him before trying to escape.

He looked down at the sign in his hand, which was half a hand's length and two fingers' width, and wondered if he could break it.

The front of the sign has the character "cloud" engraved on it, while the back depicts a mountain with the words "Qingya Peak" written next to it.

As Lu Qiu gently stroked the sign with his thumb, he felt his tense mood inexplicably ease.

But the light above his head suddenly flickered, instantly jolting Lu Qiu's recently calmed emotions back into turmoil.

He's perfectly capable of communicating with people, but the person he's about to meet isn't a human, but a ghost messenger!

On second thought, a messenger from the underworld would be more normal... right?

Feeling a little anxious, he opened his purse, glanced at it, and then silently closed it again.

Goodness, one hundred yuan.

He truly has the strongest faith; I knew he shouldn't have opened it.

Lu Qiu realized that overthinking would only add to his burden, so he took out his phone and started looking at contracts and approving procedures, since he had nothing better to do anyway.

After watching a few of the procedures, Lu Qiu felt less nervous.

Just then, the elevator made a "ding" sound, indicating that the doors were about to open.

Lu Qiu's heart jumped into his throat. He clearly hadn't seen any change in the floor indicator on the elevator!

But when the elevator doors opened and Lu Qiu met the two people inside, his anxiety completely died.

Okay, okay, Xia Wange, so this is the weird person you were talking about, right?
