She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 961: Chapter 1011: So Satisfied It’s Overwhelming

Shen Feihu left with his men, and Sheng Ning happily walked in, pushing the door open to find no smell of cigarettes, and the room was neat and tidy, without even an extra small stool.

"Xiao Ning, how did I do?" Xu Qigang said, as if seeking credit. He had been very strict in prohibiting smoking, to the point of infuriating the President.

"Not bad at all." Sheng Ning handed him the bag of sweet roasted chestnuts she had brought, "Here, I brought this for you. Have you had dinner yet?"

"No, I’ve been in meetings and haven’t had the chance."

"I brought you something." These days have been too busy, she had no time to cook for him.

Xu Qigang ate his dinner while Sheng Ning busied herself with organizing things. She was to be discharged tomorrow and there was still a lot to pack up. Just as she was bending over to fold clothes, someone hugged her from behind.

An’an and Chen Huaying had left today; she hadn’t intended to return to the guesthouse alone.

"Let me down, quickly."

"No," he said, playfully refusing.

"Xu Qigang, stop fooling around, what if you hit my wound?"

Xu Qigang carried her to the bathroom, closing the door with a backward kick.

"Xiao Ning." Xu Qigang’s voice sounded especially calm and steady, whispering close to her ear, "Don’t move, and don’t speak."

Sheng Ning bit her lip hard, and the pain jolted her awake instantly.

Xu Qigang watched as blood trickled from her lip, a murderous gleam flashing in his eyes. Then, he pressed his lips to hers, gently sucking away the blood.

"No." The eerie silence around them was unsettling, even Xu Qigang’s heavy breathing was absent. She could distinctly feel how he maintained his heartbeat in the most stable state.

How did he do it? Sheng Ning was a bit curious, but more so, she was in awe of him. The more they lived together, the more she idolized him.

"There’s someone outside," he whispered.

"Hmm!" Sheng Ning nodded, indicating that she understood and would be cautious. Her calm demeanor made Xu Qigang see her in a new light, holding her even more lovingly.

"Is it this room? Why is there no one here?"

A faint voice could be heard outside; if one didn’t listen carefully, it would be inaudible.

"Behave and stay inside, don’t go out."

"Hmm!"

"Take this."

A cold knife was pressed into her hand. Sheng Ning was curious about where he had hidden it.

The footsteps outside grew closer, followed by unexpected sounds of combat. Xu Qigang took advantage of the chaos, swiftly exiting the bathroom with lightning speed, the situation that was once two against one instantly turning around.

Sheng Ning knew going outside would only cause trouble. Holding the weapon tightly, she stayed quietly behind the door, biting her lip, her heart pounding erratically. First, she was relieved that An’an and Chen Huaying had left, and her father-in-law and mother-in-law had gone home. Then, she worried about whether Sister Guo would face any danger in the duty room.

Had the enemy really infiltrated the hospital? Was this revenge? Had they come seeking vengeance?

Today, Shen Feihu had brought so many people here and hurried the discharge procedures, clearly having received prior information. But she hadn’t expected them to come so quickly, with such audacity.

Sheng Ning’s mind was in turmoil, when suddenly the sounds of fierce fighting erupted outside, and the entire hospital plunged into chaos at that moment.

In a time of peace, the heart of the Motherland, awakened by gunfire in the middle of the night—what a terrifying thing.

The gunshots gradually moved from inside the room to outside, and after confirming there was no one inside, Sheng Ning cautiously opened the door to peek outside, and upon confirming there was no one, she carefully stepped out.

The corridor was pitch black, the lights apparently having been deliberately broken, with only an emergency light casting a dim glow, the shadows outlining the figures in standoff.

With poor visibility, it was impossible to distinguish who was who.

Wu Long clutched his bleeding abdomen with one hand, while gripping Sister Guo’s neck with the other, almost lifting her whole. A little more force, and he would snap her neck.

The other person who had come with him lay on the ground, their fate uncertain.
