Meng Jiao pulled her hair back, pushed the door open, and jumped in. Her feet were upright, but she did not make a sound. The man in black beside the bed turned around and was shocked. He almost threw the syringe in his hand.

Meng Jiao raised her head slightly, revealing a pair of eyes with dark circles through the gaps in her hair. She grinned at the man.

“Ah!” The 1.8-meter-tall man screamed in shock and turned to leave. Unexpectedly, he tripped and fell beside the handsome guy. Meng Jiao did not hesitate and picked up the chair to knock the man unconscious.

She hurriedly opened the balcony door and the door of the ward to let the air circulate. Only then did she dare to take a light breath. In a moment of desperation, she did not put on any protection and barged in. The intoxicating fragrance was so strong that her mind was a little dizzy.

Meng Jiao only got up when she felt that the dizziness in the air had dissipated. She went to the bathroom and wet the towel before roughly smearing it on the handsome guy’s face.

The handsome guy woke up and grabbed Meng Jiao’s neck. He asked sternly, “Who are you?”

Meng Jiao’s good intentions were not rewarded. She was almost out of breath from being strangled. She raised her leg and kicked him, pointing at the person on the ground.

Only then did the handsome guy react. He quickly let go of Meng Jiao and held her.

Meng Jiao said angrily as she coughed, “No good will come out of kindness! I saved you, but you want to strangle me to death! I knew that I shouldn’t be a good person these days!”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. Did I hurt you? Forgive me, what are you doing here?” The handsome guy apologized profusely. The child in front of him might have saved him, but she definitely was not here to harm him.

Meng Jiao rubbed her neck and kicked the person lying on the ground and said, “You knocked over the chair and woke me up. I smelled the fragrance on the balcony, so I draped my hair in front of me and pretended to be a ghost to scare him. I didn’t expect it to really work. He turned around, so I used the chair to knock him down. It took me a lot of effort.”

The handsome guy was stunned.

Meng Jiao came to the bedside again and saw an old man lying on the bed. His face was very gray and he looked ill.

She instinctively reached out to check the old man’s pulse and said, “That guy wanted to mix something into the old man’s medicine. The syringe is in his hand.”

The handsome guy went to pick up the syringe in the hand of the man in black. Seeing that the man was about to wake up, he grabbed the chair and gave him another blow.

Meng Jiao looked at the handsome guy in surprise and gave him a thumbs-up.

“Why doesn’t the old man consult a traditional doctor? The meridians in his body were severely blocked. He could not continue like this!” Meng Jiao said anxiously.

“You are familiar with traditional medicine?” The handsome guy asked doubtfully.

Meng Jiao shook her head and sighed, “I can’t treat the old man’s illness at my current level. You should look for my master. His name is Bai Yu. You must have a powerful background to be able to stay in this hospital. If you ask around, you’ll know that the old man’s illness is best treated with acupuncture and massage to clear his meridians and revitalize his blood vessels. He has a strong will. If you talk to him more, you’ll definitely stimulate him to wake up sooner.”

As Meng Jiao spoke, she began to rub and press the acupuncture points on the old man’s hand with her unharmed hand. Her movements were very skillful.

“Little one, what’s your name? Who are your parents?” The handsome guy looked at Meng Jiao seriously.

Meng Jiao turned her head and smiled at him, “I’m that Little Cheeky who made someone faint.”

The handsome guy was a little helpless.

“My name is Meng Jiao and I’m staying in the ward just next door. My father’s name is Meng Tang, and my grandfather’s name is Meng An. I’ve only been home for less than a month, and I grew up in the countryside.” Meng Jiao stopped teasing the handsome guy and told him everything directly.

Meng Jiao was aware that the people living here were all rich. She did not understand the complicated relationships in the upper class, and she did not have the time to do so now. She might as well just say it out loud. If the handsome guy knew someone from the Meng family, then he would be able to trust her.

“So it’s you? So your name is Meng Jiao.” The handsome guy’s voice was filled with surprise and amusement.

Meng Jiao was busy with her work and stole a glance at him. She asked, “Then who are you?”

The sounds of nurses with carts and footsteps could be heard in the corridor.

The two of them looked at the person lying on the ground at the same time.

The handsome guy dragged the man over and stuffed him under the bed. He carefully put away the syringe. When he was done, he looked up and realized that Meng Jiao had already left.

The nurse pushed the door open and said softly, “Young Master Gong, it’s time for the Old Mr. Gong to change his dressing.”

Gong Ling exhaled and said calmly, “Alright.”
