Chapter 383 Love and Revenge
The guards standing in front of Luo Lingchen's room stood straight, like proud pine trees, and their neat black attire made them look even more energetic.
There was alertness and competence in their eyes, as if no movement could escape their eyes and they were always ready to deal with possible dangers.
The moment their eyes fell on Su Ran and Shen Li, their movements became coordinated and smooth as flowing clouds and water.
They saluted respectfully, their arms bent vigorously, their fists clenched, and shouted in unison: "Greetings to Master Su, greetings to the county lady."
The sound echoed in the corridors of the inn, resounding like a huge bell, demonstrating their strict daily training and loyalty to their master.
Su Ran looked at this scene, his thoughts raced, and his face became increasingly gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm.
He never expected that this operation would fail so badly. Not only did he fail to get rid of Luo Lingchen, the biggest threat to him, as he wished, but he also aroused Shen Shaodong's vigilance.
Now, the security around Luo Lingchen has become tighter. Those guards are like a solid wall, making it impossible to attack him. The difficulty of finding an opportunity to attack him has suddenly increased several times.
What made him even more angry was that the assassination he had carefully planned did not affect Nangong Qi at all.
Originally, he thought that even if he couldn't get rid of both of them at the same time, he could at least create some trouble for Nangong Qi by taking advantage of this chaos, making him look bad in front of Shen Li, or even getting hurt.
But who could have expected that Nangong Qi seemed to be blessed by God, always following Shen Li like a guardian angel, and the people he sent could not find a chance to attack, resulting in him not only being unharmed, but also appearing beside Shen Li at the critical moment.
With his courage and wisdom, he quickly squeezed to Shen Li's side and successfully staged a good play of "hero saving the beauty", easily winning Shen Li's attention and favor.
Looking at Shen Li's eyes filled with appreciation and gratitude when she looked at Nangong Qi, Su Ran felt as if her heart was being pricked by countless needles, causing unbearable pain.
Su Ran gritted his teeth secretly and cursed in a low voice: "Damn Nangong Qi, you're lucky this time."
Shen Li, who was standing by, had excellent hearing and asked in confusion, "Su Ran, what are you talking about? What good luck?"
Su Ran was startled and quickly covered it up, "Ah, no, nothing, Li'er, let's go check on Luo Lingchen first."
The two of them gently pushed open the door and walked in. Luo Lingchen was seen shirtless, his clothes draped loosely over his shoulders, revealing his toned chest and defined abdominal muscles.
The chest was wrapped with dense layers of gauze. The gauze was as white as snow, but it was stained with blood, which was shocking.
The blood was still oozing out slowly, like a red plum blossom blooming on the white snow, revealing a heart-wrenching pain.
He lay quietly on the bed with his eyes closed. His once handsome face was now bloodless and pale as paper. His lips had lost their former redness and were cracked and peeling.
His brows were slightly furrowed, as if he was enduring great pain. He looked weak and helpless, as if a breeze could blow him down.
Su Ran's expression changed slightly when he saw this. He subconsciously took a few quick steps and stood in front of Shen Li. His brows furrowed, a hint of dissatisfaction and anxiety flashed in his eyes. He said with a hint of complaint in his tone, "It's so shameful for him to expose his chest like this! Li'er, you are an unmarried woman, you can't bear to see such an indecent scene."
Shen Li rolled her eyes at him and said nonchalantly, "He's wrapped in gauze all over, how is that any different from wearing clothes? Don't make a fuss here. Su Ran, when did you become so fussy?"
After saying this, she walked lightly and gracefully to the bedside and sat down, her movements gentle and elegant.
She stretched out her slender fingers and gently placed them on Luo Lingchen's wrist, bending her fingers slightly as she concentrated on feeling his pulse, her eyes filled with concentration and concern.
After a moment, she breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself: The pulse is steady and strong, there is nothing serious, it is probably just a superficial injury.
Luo Lingchen usually looks careless, but unexpectedly he has pretty good physical fitness.
As for his pale face, it must be due to excessive blood loss when he was injured. As long as he takes good care of himself, he should be able to recover soon.
