Chapter 50: Pitting Zhang Meng

I won't be able to sleep."Li Chuang knew that acting had to be done in full, with words and actions aligning with the logic of a normal person losing money. Otherwise, it would easily arouse suspicio...The sky was tinged with the pale light of dawn. Wang Lin silently stood up. Because he had risen too quickly, his vision went dark for a moment, and he almost fell.

He patted his face, wiping away the marks, before slowly walking away, leaving behind a scattering of cigarette butts and an empty box.

After smoking so many cigarettes, the tightness in his chest felt slightly better, but now his head was spinning terribly, worse than being drunk.

He went to the restroom to wash his face, then hailed a taxi and drove away.

The person is gone, the heart is cold, the dream is shattered, but his own life must continue. He does not live solely for himself; he still has many ties in the world.

Getting back home, it felt empty, which made him uncomfortable. Although Xiao Yue had only lived in this house for two days, Wang Lin had already grown accustomed to her presence.

He dragged his weary body onto the bed like a zombie, reminiscing about the little things from the past two days.

He was too tired, physical exhaustion was secondary after all, his physical fitness was strong after awakening. The main problem was mental fatigue.

Since this morning, he has been on edge, feeling incredibly unlucky ever since Xiaoyue left.

Having finally found true love, as soon as they broke through the paper window, they discovered there was another layer of cobwebs on it, separating them once again.

But through Xiaoyue's letter, it can be seen that there will still be opportunities to meet in the future. When the time comes, one must have the ability to protect Xiaoyue.

To achieve better protection, one must become invincible, making others afraid to provoke them. For those who have already formed grudges, they must be eradicated to prevent any unforeseen incidents.

From this moment onwards, the infamous and cunning assassin who would be sung about through the ages begins his journey.

Two flowers bloomed, each representing a different branch. Xiaoyue, having no destination in mind, bought the fastest flight out of Zhongzhou City. At this moment, she had just stepped off the plane.

Looking at this unfamiliar city, she was filled with pain and confusion. The blows from a few days ago had cut her heart like a knife, as if she had lost the color of the whole world.

Standing in this unfamiliar place, she felt a loneliness and helplessness like never before. Without familiar friends and family, she had to face everything life threw at her alone.

Xiaoyue dragged two suitcases down the unfamiliar street. She felt like a lost child, unsure where the path ahead led.

Recalling her journey with Wang Lin, from their initial acquaintance to growing close and eventually confiding in each other, she felt a deeper longing for the past. Those warm memories were like a double-edged sword, both painful and irreplaceable.

However, she understood that she couldn't stay trapped in the pain of the past forever.

She needs to learn to be strong, independent, and adapt to this new environment.

She needs to cultivate harder. When she becomes strong enough, perhaps she can silently stand behind Wang Lin and support him.

Although this process is full of challenges and difficulties, she believes that as long as she doesn't give up, she will definitely be able to achieve her goals.

And right now, the first thing she needs to do is find a place to live. She found a cell phone store, got a new SIM card, and then checked into a motel.

Finding a place to rent and getting a job, that's what she needs to do next.

Zhongzhou City, People's Hospital, Zhang Meng and Wang Erpao's ward, Xiaobai and a few others were boredly playing on their phones.

Suddenly, a loud roar came, startling everyone. Their phones fell to the ground one after another.

They turned their heads and glared, discovering that Zhang Meng was now sitting up, staring blankly at his surroundings.

Lin Mu glared at Zhang Meng, who was sitting on the hospital bed, his forehead veins throbbing. "Damn it! You scared the hell out of me!"

Zhang Meng's eyes regained clarity, and he looked at Lin Mu with an embarrassed smile. "I'm sorry, I didn't react just now. Did I scare you"

He turned his head and looked at Wang Erpao again, "Boss, wake up, don't sleep! Boss!"

He said he was getting out of bed, and it seemed like he was going to wake up Wang Erpao.

"Don't shout! Don't move! He's still unconscious."

Xiaobai looked at Zhang Meng, who was still eager to move his hands, with some helplessness.

Zhang Meng's hand froze mid-air, turning his head to look at Xiaobai who had spoken.

Who are you

"We are here from headquarters to support you. You were all unconscious, and the Zhongzhou branch can't be left unattended."

"Where are Wang Lin and Xiaoyue Are they in another ward"

"Wang Lin has already been discharged from the hospital, your boss is now lying in the bed that Wang Lin was in before. As for Xiaoyue...."

Xiao Bai explained to Zhang Meng about Xia Yue. Her expression was complex, hesitating whether she should say it or not.

"Little Yue also left, she should be with Wang Lin now."

Han Dewei saw Xiao Bai didn't know how to explain Xiaoyue's matter, so he directly took over the conversation.

At this point, they didn't know that Xiaoyue was only caught in Ding Sheng's illusion. However, they didn't want to tell Zhang Meng directly either. This man looked like a troublemaker; who knew what kind of trouble he might cause once he found out

"Oh, as long as they're okay."

Zhang Meng let out a sigh of relief. His body had mostly recovered, and he felt the awakening power coursing through him. Indeed, the physique of an Awakener was extraordinary.

And his main injuries were to the head. The fact that he can wake up proves that his injuries are not serious.

What's my boss's situation now

Zhang Meng looked at Wang Erpao with some concern. Out of the four of them, his relationship with Wang Erpao was the best. After all, they had spent the longest time together and were close in age.

"He is now stable and has entered a state of trance while comatose, he could wake up at any time. However, due to a fractured scapula, he won't be able to fight for a short period."

"It's okay, it's okay!"

He looked at Wang Erpao with lingering fear. It was just that Wang Erpao's appearance at the time was truly pathetic.

At that time, he had already prepared for Wang Erpao's sacrifice. Now, hearing that he was fortunate in misfortune and entered the state of enlightenment, he was also happy for him.

However, he couldn't help but worry again that in the future, he might be more vulnerable to being bullied.

Have you been here all along

"Well, our boss is worried that someone might take revenge on you while you're unconscious, so he arranged for a few of us to protect you here."

Xiaobai nodded, looking at Zhang Meng with some worry, "This person smiles one moment and frowns the next. I wonder if he's got a bump on the head"

"Thank you! On behalf of the Zhongzhou City branch, I would like to express my gratitude to all of you!"

Zhang Meng stood up straight and bowed deeply to the four people. Xiao Bai hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Meng up.

"This is all we should be doing, after all, we're all colleagues. Who knows, maybe there will be something in the future where we'll need your help!" Xiaobai smiled at Zhang Meng, then jokingly said.

"No problem, as long as you guys need me. I, Zhang Meng, will go through fire and water without batting an eyelid!"

"You flatter me, you flatter me! Since you're older than us, let's call you 'Meng Ge' (a respectful term for someone older). Meng Ge is quick-witted and speaks quickly, I like that!"

Lin Mu laughed heartily and walked forward to shake Zhang Meng's hand.

"Let me introduce myself, my name is Lin Mu. She is Zhao Xiaobai, and he is Han Dewei."

Zhang Meng looked at everyone one by one, and they all nodded to him in greeting.

"By the time your boss wakes up, we'll probably have to leave. If we have time to go to Beijing, my brother will treat you well!"

"Haha, good, brother is straightforward. This friend, I Zhang Meng made!"

Zhang Meng stepped forward and gave Lin Mu a bear hug, "It's not easy to find a friend with a good temper. Today, Zhang Meng is lucky to meet you all. Please wait a moment, I'll make arrangements."

Then he took out his cell phone and called his younger brother.

"Hey Tiger, bring a few people to Maple Leaf Hotel and order a table of dishes. Have them deliver it to the inpatient department of People's Hospital... uh...."

He walked out of the ward, looked at the doorplate, "712! Five people, as quickly as possible! That's it!"

Zhang Meng hung up the phone and turned to the crowd, "Today I'm treating, let's have a big feast right here in this ward!"

"Haha, great! We're in for a treat today!"

Lin Mu heard Zhang Meng's arrangement, her face beaming with joy. "I've long heard that the dishes at Fengye Grand Hotel are exceptional, but I've never had the chance to taste them. Today, thanks to Brother Meng, I'm fortunate enough to try a few. It's a blessing to be alive three times!"

"Brother, if you like it, just as long as you're still in Zhongzhou City, let's eat together every day!"

Zhang Meng patted his chest and looked at Lin Mu, with a look of love at first sight.

Xiaobai pulled Lin Mu, whispering, "Go easy on him, don't be too harsh."

Lin Mubai rolled his eyes at Xiaobai, "Don't worry! I have a plan."

After finishing, he also let out a cunning smile.

Xiaobai smiled helplessly, "Suit yourself! I can bask in the reflected glory too." trembling, her lips repeatedly muttering, "Don't come over, don't come over..."Her tears had dried up, her voice was hoarse, and her disheveled appearance made her look extremely helpless. Anyone who...
