"The Hidden Lord Succession Ceremony is imminent. Once Meng Jingwei settles into the position of Hidden Lord, these people will either leave the Hidden Clan forever or be 'silenced' forever."
Old Shen Tou narrowed his cloudy eyes slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his pupils.
He sighed, then turned his head to look at the unconscious He Xiaomingjin in the hospital room. "Qing Muyue injured my grandson like this; I will make him pay a blood price!"
"As long as Qing Muyue is not dealt with, no one will have peace," He Xiaolanya also sighed deeply, her brow furrowed with worry.
Meanwhile, in the restroom.
Meng Jingwei stood inside the restroom, waiting quietly.
As expected, within two minutes, someone pulled open the door of the stall she was in.
Xiao Cheng appeared before Meng Jingwei.
Even with a scar across his face, it couldn't hide his handsome features. While it slightly marred his beauty, it added a touch of resolute toughness and coldness.
His sharp expression exuded the imposing aura of a triad boss, but at this moment, he had softened his edge, his face filled with tenderness.
After exchanging a glance with Meng Jingwei, he directly pulled her into his arms. "You scared me to death. Do you know how nervous I was when I thought you had truly lost your memory?"
Xiao Cheng was excessively worried about Meng Jingwei, holding her with such force that it seemed he wanted to meld her into his very bones.
"I can barely breathe," Meng Jingwei said softly in a low voice.
Only then did Xiao Cheng release Meng Jingwei, straightening up to look at her. "It's good that you're alright, it's good that you're alright."
At this moment, Meng Jingwei clearly noticed that Xiao Cheng's eyes had turned red.
The reason she was willing to tell Xiao Cheng the truth was because the last time Qing Muyue faked his death, she had lied to him.
This time, she didn't want to deceive Xiao Cheng again and make him worry.
"Listen to me. When Qing Muyue wakes up, help me relay a message to him: tell him to immediately search for my children's whereabouts. My two children have been brought to the Hidden Clan by Old Shen Tou, and their current whereabouts are unknown. I fear Old Shen Tou will use them for leverage."
"Also, you'd best stay away from me for a while. If you appear too often, Old Shen Tou will definitely go to great lengths to get rid of you. At that point, Antina will be in great danger."
"Xiao Cheng, you've helped me so many times, and I don't want to owe you any more favors. If you truly consider me a friend, stay as far away from me as possible during this period." Meng Jingwei repeatedly cautioned him.
"Okay, I understand everything. Is there anything else I can help you with?" Xiao Cheng asked, his eyes still red.
She pursed her lips and said, "My affairs are known only to you and Ye. I don't want anyone else to know."
The fact that only two people knew the truth, and Xiao Cheng was one of them, fully affirmed Meng Jingwei's trust in him.
Xiao Cheng's heart warmed, feeling an inexplicable sense of relief.
"I promise," he nodded.
"I should go, or Old Shen Tou will become suspicious." Meng Jingwei dared not delay, pressed the flush button on the toilet, then pushed open the stall door and walked out.
She washed her hands at the sink, shook them dry, and walked out of the restroom.
As a result...
Old Shen Tou was standing in the public restroom area, seemingly waiting for her.
Meng Jingwei tensed slightly, but then she thought that she had spoken very softly to Xiao Cheng, so he couldn't possibly have heard. If he had heard, his expression and reaction wouldn't be like this.
"What are you doing here?"
"I was worried about you."
Old Shen Tou sighed. "You girl, you've never let your old man have peace of mind since you were little. I've truly worried myself sick over you."
"That's not true," Meng Jingwei pouted, forcing a lighthearted smile, and walked away directly.
Old Shen Tou followed behind her, glancing back at the women's restroom with unease before finally leaving.
