158: Find Out Who They Are

Find Out Who They Are

Jiang Yu hurriedly accepted, afraid that Huo Jinyan would go back on his word.0

…

When Lu Ning came out, Huo Jinyan was alone in the corridor.

He was standing there, facing her. As Lu Ning walked out, she spotted him instantly when she raised her head.

She walked over in front of him. "Thank you, Teacher Huo."

Huo Jinyan furrowed his brows slightly, but did not say anything.

He simply pointed at her. "Your back…"

Lu Ning quickly added, "It's fine, it's healing up well. I'll be fine after taking a shower and disinfecting it."

Huo Jinyan nodded.

"For today… thank you."

She did not know how many times she had thanked Huo Jinyan, but he had always been helping her.

Lu Ning looked at him. "Teacher Huo, I… shall I send you back?"

Huo Jinyan nodded.

Lu Ning silently heaved a sigh of relief and walked him out.

Huo Jinyan walked slowly, and so did Lu Ning. The two of them were walking side by side, and when Lu Ning turned her head she could only see Huo Jinyan's shoulder. She could see his face only if she raised her head slightly.

Based on her estimations, Huo Jinyan should be at least 1.88 meters tall. She was 1.7 meters tall, and her head was just around Huo Jinyan's shoulder.

She was so focused on studying his height that Lu Ning was not paying any attention to their surroundings; she only came to her senses when Huo Jinyan grabbed her.

Lu Ning looked ahead; if she continued walking, she would be caught in the rain again.

Chu Ting drove over.

Lu Ning smiled at Huo Jinyan. "Thank you, Teacher Huo, and goodbye."

Huo Jinyan looked at her. There were no flaws to pick with her polite demeanor.

He did not get in immediately; he took one last look at Lu Ning before getting in the car, and it slowly drove out of the hospital.

Lu Ning turned around and headed back.

Huo Jinyan gazed at the rain falling incessantly outside, and said in a low voice, "Find out who's following Lu Ning."

"Understood."

Huo Jinyan had not forgotten the first thing Lu Ning mentioned on the phone.

He had stopped shadowing her; yet, she still sensed that someone was following her.

Huo Jinyan gazed out of the car window, his eyes narrowed and a slight scowl on his face. His expression bristled with menace.

When Lu Ning returned, she bumped into Lu Zhi, who was looking for her.

"Daddy."

Lu Zhi frantically pulled her arm. "Where did you go?"

"I sent Teacher Huo off."

"Huo Jinyan?" Lu Zhi blurted out.

Lu Ning turned to look at him.

"Was Teacher Huo here?"

He had not noticed him just now.

Lu Ning nodded. As she followed him into the elevator, she explained, "Yes, Teacher Huo sent us here; he happened to be nearby. It's fortunate that he was here, otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."

As if sensing that Lu Zhi had a poor impression of Huo Jinyan, Lu Ning subconsciously put in a good word for him.

Lu Zhi nodded, but now he was even more worried.

Previously, he had investigated why Huo Jinyan came to A City and kept appearing by Lu Ning's side. He was worried that Huo Jinyan was conspiring to hurt Lu Ning, but no matter how much he investigated, he could not uncover anything concrete; he only heard that it might be because of some hacker.

However, there was no conclusive reason for why he kept appearing in Lu Ning's vicinity. Even if he was her teacher, this was no reason for him to appear beside Lu Ning so frequently.

Lu Ning turned to see Lu Zhi's expression.

Lu Zhi looked down towards her and smiled. "You must've been scared witless. Jingzhi's fine now, he woke up and looked around for you in a daze, but now he's asleep again."

Lu Ning was pleasantly surprised. "Jingzhi woke up?"

Lu Zhi nodded and smiled at her. "Yes, don't worry. He'll be fine after a good rest."

Lu Ning nodded. Finally, a smile appeared on her lips.
