Chapter 523

Go Harm Someone Else

After secretly eavesdropping, Jiang Xiaomeng scrapped her original plan and turned to leave.

She first went to buy meat and vegetables, then returned home. When she saw Jiang Xiaopeng wasn't home, she frowned, suppressed her excitement, and started cooking.

By the time the food was almost ready, Jiang Xiaopeng finally returned.

"Where did you go?" Jiang Xiaomeng asked.

"Nothing important," Jiang Xiaopeng deflected and instead stared at her, asking, "How is Lu Hang doing?"

"Still unconscious," she said carefully. "I just overheard Lin Nannan and Lin Kangnian deciding to give Lu Hang medication. Lin Nannan seemed reluctant, saying it's the last pill. Should we try to stop them?"

She always felt the pill was more important than blood.

Jiang Xiaopeng shook his head. "We can't stop them. We're no match for them here. The people we’ve been in contact with help only if they see something in it for themselves. Right now, we have nothing to offer, so they won’t assist us. Our backup plan is to get some blood from the unconscious Lu Hang since we can’t get the pill…"

"How much blood are we talking about?" Jiang Xiaomeng asked, considering the idea.

"As much as possible. When we make our move, I’ll have someone outside to support you," Jiang Xiaopeng said.

With no room for hesitation, Jiang Xiaomeng just nodded.

They now only waited for Lu Hang to take the medicine before making their move.

"Over the next few days, when you deliver meals, stay a bit longer to find the right opportunity," Jiang Xiaopeng reminded her.

Jiang Xiaomeng nodded, then frowned as she recalled something. "Lin Kangnian, worried that someone might take advantage of Lu Hang’s unconscious state, has specially posted guards outside. I’m not sure if this will affect me. When we act, we’ll need to avoid them to prevent being caught. Otherwise, even if we get the blood, we might not make it out."

Jiang Xiaopeng’s face darkened, and he couldn’t help but let out a curse.

He felt that anything related to Lin Nannan was just bad news, as if nothing ever went according to plan.

Take the incident in Yun City, for example. Despite the great distance, she rushed over without hesitation because she sensed Lu Hang was in danger. Then, the entire situation reversed, dragging them into the mess as well. Even in Jing City, they were still under her thumb. He couldn't believe that, despite avoiding direct confrontation, he could still be suppressed by Lin Nannan.

As soon as they obtained Lu Hang’s blood, he would immediately leave with Jiang Xiaomeng, never wanting to cross paths with Lin Nannan again.

She should go harm someone else!

After the siblings finished talking, Jiang Xiaomeng pulled herself together and headed to the hospital with the prepared meal.

The hospital wasn’t far from where she lived, and the daily back-and-forth didn't bother her…

As she watched the bustling crowds and the old houses full of everyday life, her feelings were mixed. If possible, she would have preferred to find a place to live peacefully and steadily, rather than putting on a happy face while calculating every move, where a single misstep could get her killed.

Her older brother had talked about sending her away, but she'd done things too. Even if she wanted to leave, where could she go?

The thought left Jiang Xiaomeng in a down mood, which Lu Yuan noticed when she delivered the meal.

"What’s wrong with you?" Lu Yuan asked.

Previously, Jiang Xiaomeng had always been smiling when delivering meals, but today was noticeably different.

Unable to hide her emotions in time, Jiang Xiaomeng thought of Lu Yuan’s relationship with Lu Hang and deliberately brought up her brother on purpose. "Sigh, it’s all because of my brother. He was hospitalized for a long time after getting injured, and just as he was finally discharged, the doctor advised him to rest and recover. But he refused to listen. Earlier, I had an argument with him and almost cried."
