Chapter 326 1 ring within 1 ring
It was Nan Shitong's first time attending such a high-end cocktail party. The people who came were all top business tycoons. She and Assistant Dong followed Gong Yi Mochen. Even the assistant would be looked up to by other bosses because of following Gong Yi Mochen, and sometimes they would even exchange a few words with her.
Nan Shitong looked at the envious looks cast at her by other assistants from time to time. She was filled with a huge sense of vanity, excited and proud.
Now she was just Assistant Dong's assistant, yet she could receive such treatment. If she could stand shoulder to shoulder with Gong Yi Mo Chen, what an honor and joy it would be! She had already begun to fantasize, and even just the thought of it made her feel like every cell in her body began to beat.
Nan Shitong looked at the ladies who were walking arm in arm with the big bosses. She also wanted to get that position, which was out of reach before, but now it was within her reach. Thinking of this, she raised her chin and became arrogant.
Since Nan Shitong had made her goal clear, she immediately started to act. She chose the right moment to pass wine to Mo Chen and stood beside Mo Chen whenever she had the chance. Assistant Dong seemed unusually calm and composed about Nan Shitong stealing his job. He did not stop her from crossing the line, and when she was about to make a mistake, he politely and calmly reminded her how to do things right.
After the dinner, many reporters were waiting outside the hotel hoping to capture some valuable news.
Mo Chen glanced at the people holding cameras outside the hotel, then looked at Nan Shitong. Coincidentally, Nan Shitong was also looking at the reporters outside.
"Assistant Dong, go get the car and drive over here. Tell the driver to go back."
"Okay." Assistant Dong went to get the car.
Mo Chen and Nan Shitong stood at the hotel entrance waiting for Assistant Dong.
Mo Chen lit a cigarette.
Nan Shitong moved closer to Mo Chen and stood side by side with him.
"I heard that Sister Rongyue used to be your assistant." Nan Shitong looked at Mo Chen, and her face couldn't help but get hot when she saw Mo Chen smoking.
"Hmm." Mo Chen exhaled a puff of smoke, his mind flashing back to the memories of Rongyue working as his assistant. It was like a poor student taking notes for an excellent student! But he still enjoyed it, because he really enjoyed looking up and seeing Rongyue sitting in the office, either in a daze or busying around, and from time to time making little movements that he thought he couldn't see, but in fact he could see them clearly. Not only did he not find it annoying, but he found her adorable. Observing Rongyue became a fun way for him to take a break from work.
"Sister Rongyue didn't study management, so it must be very difficult for her to work. Do you make mistakes often?" Nan Shitong said innocently.
Mo Chen smiled and said, "Indeed, there is no comparison between the two of you."
"I will work harder." Nan Shitong blushed as if she had been praised.
Mo Chen took in Nan Shitong's expression.
Assistant Dong's car drove to the front of the hotel. Mo Chen put out the cigarette in the trash can and walked towards the door.
"what!"
Mo Chen turned around and saw Nan Shitong throwing herself on him.
… …
When Qin Yuejun saw Liu Fengyi's call, she felt relieved, thinking that there should be no problem with him being taken away for investigation this time, so she picked up the phone.
"Governor Liu, you called me personally to ask if you have any good news about your safe return. Don't forget us when you get promoted and make a fortune." Qin Yuejun said in a flattering voice.
"I want to see Nangong Rongyue."
Qin Yuejun's smile disappeared. "Now... is not the right time. She is pregnant and there are many people around her..."
"If your hospital still wants to operate as usual, I'll give you two days. I want to see her, otherwise you'll have to consider the consequences yourself." Liu Fengyi said and hung up the phone.
Qin Yuejun secretly turned off her phone and threw it on the desk. She knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she was in a difficult situation now. Ever since the fire in the hospital, both Nangong Rongyue and Gong Yi's family were under layers of protection and could not get close to them.
Qin Yuejun picked up her phone and asked someone to send her some recent news about Nangong Rongyue. Most of the messages were related to art, but one piece of gossip caught her attention.
The tycoon ex-husband Gong Yi Mo Chen is pregnant with a new love, while the talented painter Nangong Rongyue is unmarried and pregnant but is neglected.
Qin Yuejun didn't believe it at first, so she searched for the gossip. She was very surprised to see the photo of Gong Yi Mo Chen hugging Nan Shitong at the hotel entrance.
After Nan Shitong's information was handed to Qin Yuejun, Qin Yuejun's mood instantly improved. She soon came up with a way to let Liu Fengyi meet Nangong Rongyue. Maybe she could kill two birds with one stone!
… …
"Huang Yihan and Song Xiang still haven't been found."
Rongyue listened to Nangong Yunyi's words and sighed. "What has Liu Fengyi been doing recently?"
"His recent condition is not optimistic. He was investigated. Although he has returned after being placed under double-disciplinary supervision, he is still suspended for observation for the past few days."
It is not like Huang Yihan's style to keep this matter and not deal with it earlier.
"Why are you so concerned about Liu Fengyi?" Nangong Yunyi looked at Rongyue and asked the question in his heart.
"He's just the man behind Xia Xiluo and Qin Yuejun. If he doesn't bring down the Xia family, there will be someone to protect them. If he can't completely crush the Xia family, then Xia Xiluo can still make a comeback."
"Is that just it?"
Rongyue looked up at Nangong Yunyi and said, "Yes."
Nangong Yunyi was about to ask something when he was interrupted by the ringing of his cell phone.
"If there is a problem, send him to the hospital. Why go back to the old house?" Nangong Yunyi frowned and calmly replied to the person on the phone.
Rongyue heard that the person on the phone seemed to be crying and saying her name. She saw Nangong Yunyi looked up at her and seemed a little embarrassed.
"I understand. I'll go back." Nangong Yunyi hung up the phone.
"What's wrong?" Rongyue looked at Nangong Yunyi.
“…It’s okay, I want to go back to the Nangong family’s old house.” Nangong Yunyi stood up.
"I heard the person on the phone was looking for me." Rongyue stood up. "Let me go back with you to check. If they can't find me, they will continue to look for me."
The old house of the Nangong family.
Rongyue heard crying before she entered the living room. When she entered the living room, she saw a lot of people, some standing, some sitting, and some lying on the sofa surrounded by others. When they saw Rongyue coming, they looked like they had seen a life-saving straw, and their eyes were shining.
Rongyue walked to the people lying on the sofa and found that the three people lying there were all young people, about 20 years old, two men and one woman. The common feature of the three was that their faces were pale and unconscious. No matter how the people around them shook them, they were dizzy and did not respond.
"Rongyue, please save them!"
"We went to the hospital, but they couldn't find the cause. We really have no other options."
"Only you can save them."
Rongyue was surrounded by several crying people, some of whom even knelt on the ground and held Rongyue's hand.
Rongyue tried to help the kneeling person up. "How should we save them? Why are they like this?"
"We don't know either. He suddenly became ill a few days ago, like he had a cold and a fever. Then it got worse and worse, until now he's in a coma."
"Besides, they all fell ill at about the same time... two days ago..."
Everyone was talking about what they knew.
"It's so pitiful, the children are still so young." Nan Siyan wiped her tears and looked at Rongyue, "Rongyue, you are the head of the family, you must save these children!"
Nangong Yunyi had been checking the three unconscious people, and he really couldn't find any pathological cause.
"If it's not illness, could it be related to the special situation of the Nangong family?" Nan Siyan wiped her tears and analyzed.
After listening to Nan Siyan's words, Nangong Yunyi used his spiritual power to test the spiritual power of the three people and found that the spiritual power of these three people was indeed extremely weak.
“…Yun Yi. You are the only one besides Rong Yue who can sense the spiritual power of other people in the Nangong family. Please help them take a look!” Nan Siyan said in a somewhat anxious tone.
As soon as Nan Siyan finished speaking, Rongyue had already tested the spiritual power of the three unconscious people.
"How's it going, Yun Yi!"
Several people asked anxiously.
"Yun Yi, why don't you say something!" Nan Siyan asked anxiously.
Nangong Yunyi nodded. "Indeed, their spiritual power is very weak."
Nan Siyan covered her chest as if she had breathed a sigh of relief. "That's easy! If it's related to spiritual power, then Rongyue can save them."
"What do you want me to do?" Rongyue looked at the three unconscious people.
"No, she can't save three people at once. Excessive damage to her spiritual power will also have an impact on her. Besides, she is pregnant." Nangong Yunyi said in a serious tone.
The crying gradually started again.
Rongyue just looked at the three young men lying there without looking at anyone else. But she knew that the eyes fixed on her must be full of disappointment and doubt.
"You are the head of the Nangong family, so please tell me a solution..."
"Only you can save them..."
"Are we just going to watch them die like this?"
Rongyue actually doesn’t care much about the people around her now. She just feels that if these three young people died in front of her, she would really feel sorry. If she could save them but didn’t, she would also feel guilty.
As mothers, how can we not understand the love for our children?
Rongyue sat down next to the lying young man and put her hand on his forehead. She immediately felt a cool touch from her hand.
Rongyue summoned the spiritual power in her body and concentrated her mind to push the spiritual power into the young man's body. Although she felt some resistance, as long as she concentrated her attention and summoned more spiritual power, she would be able to break through the resistance and give him more spiritual power.
Miraculously, after a while, the young man lying next to Rongyue's face became rosy and his breathing became smoother than before.
Rongyue saw the change in the young man and she withdrew her hand. "He should be able to wake up after some more rest."
"Thank you!" A woman looked at Rongyue with tears in her eyes.
Rongyue smiled and turned to another young man, giving him spiritual power in the same way.
"Thank you!"
For a moment, everyone's voices were not so heavy and suppressed.
Rongyue looked at the three people who had recovered. "Although they haven't woken up yet, most of their spiritual power has been restored. Go back and rest well. They are all young people and will get better."
Everyone thanked Rongyue with gratitude.
"Rongyue, why don't you wake them all up? If something happens when we go back, we will have to trouble you again." Nan Siyan looked at Rongyue.
After Nan Siyan said this, the others who wanted to take the children away also hesitated.
"It takes more than enough to restore the spiritual power of three people. Rongyue has already consumed too much. Since the three people are no longer in danger of life, they can go back and slowly nourish their spiritual power, and then they will wake up. There is no need to consume Rongyue anymore." Nangong Yunyi frowned and looked at Nan Siyan with a firm tone.
"Of course we are grateful to Rongyue, but I also feel that this matter is not normal. The same thing happened to three people at the same time. Did they encounter something? If they can wake up, we can ask them so that we can take precautions, right? After all, the Nangong family has more than just these few children. If other children encounter this situation, wouldn't it be more costly for them to come to Rongyue?"
Nan Siyan looked quite worried. "We all have children, and Rongyue must understand the heart of a parent, right? Seeing these children like this, I'm afraid our own children will encounter the same thing."
Rongyue raised her eyes and looked at Nan Siyan.
When Nan Siyan saw Rongyue's eyes, she felt a little panicked, but fortunately everyone was panicking because of her words, so it was reasonable for her to have a worried and panicked expression.
Nangong Yunyi looked at Nan Siyan, the anger in his eyes no longer concealed.
"That's all for today. As for what you said..." Rongyue looked at Nangong Yunyi, "Yunyi, inform everyone to strengthen their precautions recently. If there are any suspicious people or things happening, please inform us. Also, if they wake up, please ask them if they remember what happened. You can take your people back now."
Everyone listened to Rongyue's unquestionable tone, agreed, and left with their people.
"Mr. Nan, what you said makes sense. Since you are so worried, send a few people from the Nangong family to protect your children. It's best to let them stay at home and not go out." Rongyue looked at Nan Siyan.
"That's not necessary. Shitong can't stay at home. She still has to go to work! You know, she is very busy with President Gong now." Nan Siyan immediately rejected Rongyue.
"Then send someone to protect him."
"No need. Shi Tong won't be in any danger if she follows Mr. Gong. Besides, it would be inconvenient for her to follow Mr. Gong with others."
Most people had left and the chaos was over. Nan Siyan looked at Rongyue's scrutinizing eyes and felt very uneasy.
Nan Siyan glanced at the yard outside the living room and saw someone looking at her.
"Rongyue, there's really no need to send anyone to protect Shitong. It won't be dangerous for her to stay with President Gong. You've consumed so much spiritual energy, so you should take a good rest. I won't disturb you anymore." Nan Siyan said and left quickly.
Rongyue looked at Nangong Yunyi.
"I understand. I'll send someone to check who Nan Siyan has been in contact with recently." Nangong Yunyi walked to Rongyue and took her hand, and felt that her hand was a little cold. He felt Rongyue's pulse and found nothing abnormal in her body, but her spiritual power was indeed greatly depleted.
Nangong Yunyi looked at Rongyue leaning on the sofa with her head tilted back, her face pale and tired. He called upon his spiritual power to wrap Rongyue around her.
"Don't waste your energy. Although the spiritual power in my body has been consumed, you can't replenish it." Rongyue opened her eyes and looked at Nangong Yunyi.
"I know, I just want to make you feel better." Nangong Yunyi looked at Rongyue and still let his spiritual power surround Rongyue.
Rongyue thought Nangong Yunyi was amazing. The first time they were on the rooftop, she had a rare good sleep. It was as if she smelled a kind of woody fragrance, a kind of fragrance in the woods that she liked very much. It was not the fragrance of just one tree, but the fragrance of many kinds of wood and soil mixed with the sunlight after the rain, which made her feel very calm and comfortable.
She would have this feeling from time to time when she was with Nangong Yunyi. Now the feeling was so strong that she adjusted her heavy body, found a comfortable position and was about to fall asleep.
"Nangong Rongyue, you broke our promise. Come with me."
Rongyue woke up instantly when she heard this familiar voice that sounded like a nightmare. She looked at the man who was standing not far from her and talking.
Liu Fengyi and his driver Cheng Jun walked in from the door.
