155: I Know You're Following Me

I Know You're Following Me

A sudden peal of thunder outside split the sky open, and it began to pour.1

When Lu Ning shoved the door open, the rain was pummeling against the eaves.

At first glance, there was no sign of Lu Jingzhi; however, when her gaze shifted downwards she spotted him, lying motionless on the floor.

Trembling with panic, Lu Ning hurtled over and held Lu Jingzhi.

"Jingzhi! Jingzhi!"

She patted Lu Jingzhi's face, but he did not respond. His cheeks were swollen, and his face covered in red blotches.

Lu Ning was scared out of her wits. Her hands shuddered as she clutched him.

"Jingzhi!"

She could not wake Lu Jingzhi up, so she tried to calm herself down.

"Ambulance, ambulance!"

However, it would take a long time for the ambulance to arrive, as this place was very far from the nearest hospital. Lu Ning thought of something and quickly made a call.

"Huo, Huo Jinyan! I-I know you're following me. Don't move, don't you leave yet! Can you send me to the hospital first?!"

Huo Jinyan was standing under the eaves of the school building, and was a little perplexed; but when he heard Lu Ning speaking oddly, he asked, "What's wrong?"

As she carried Lu Jingzhi, Lu Ning got up and out. "My brother, my brother's unconscious. Aren't you outside? Can you take us to the hospital?! Now!"

She was so strung up that she was on the verge of yelling.

Even her voice was quivering.

Huo Jinyan rushed out into the rain where the car was. Before Chu Ting could react, he had been rammed aside and onto the passenger seat.

Huo Jinyan hurled his phone to one side, and the car sped away like an arrow loosed.

Lu Ning carried Lu Jingzhi out of the door in a hurry; she only had time to grab a coat hanging at the door before she went downstairs.

As she ran, she hugged Lu Jingzhi tightly, burying his head in her arms. She wrapped him up with the coat and tried to not let him get soaked.

She ran headlong out of the neighborhood.

When Grandpa Qin saw her, he frantically chased after her with an umbrella. "Ning'ning! Little Ning! What's wrong?!"

However, Lu Ning was already far away.

Something seemed wrong, so Grandpa Qin hurried back to get his phone and call Lu Zhi.

"Little Lu, something might have happened to your family. Little Ning ran out with someone just now, I think it's your Jingzhi…"

——————

Lu Ning held Lu Jingzhi tightly. Every part of her body was drenched; however, she could only feel her own breathing and single-mindedly wanted to run faster, faster.

She called out to Lu Jingzhi from time to time, hoping that he would wake up.

However, Lu Jingzhi did not stir. Quietly, he had fallen into a coma.

Lu Ning's eyes were red; she was afraid that something would happen to him.

Finally, she had dashed all the way to the main road. There was not a single car on the street right now; she hurriedly looked around and spotted a black Volkswagen parked some twenty, thirty meters away from where she stood. Just as she was about to run over, a Maybach came to a halt before her—the ear-piercing screech deafened the splattering of the rain.

The car stopped in front of her; Chu Ting quickly stepped out of the car and opened the back door for Lu Ning. Now was not the time to think too much, so Lu Ning quickly got in. After Chu Ting shut the door and got on, the car instantly drove off.

Her hair clung to her face, obstructing Lu Ning's vision; she could vaguely make out Huo Jinyan sitting in the driver's seat, staring straight at the road ahead.

In an instant, Lu Ning's eyes were filled with tears. She peered down at Lu Jingzhi, who still remained unresponsive in her arms, and her tears fell onto his face…
