Chapter 140 Gecko Walks, Like a Ghost
That night, Ning Yao had a nightmare.
In his dream, Wen Tingye did not die, but in a strange environment with earthy yellow gauze curtains, he was surrounded by countless guns, and his body was riddled with holes, covered with purple, blue and black bloodstains, and almost no part of his skin was visible.
Ning Yao opened her mouth in horror, wanting to go forward to help Wen Tingye, but found that her heel was tangled in something. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move. Her ankle was wet and slippery, and there was a strong smell of rust.
Looking down, Ning Yao saw that the fingers gripping her ankle were those of mercenaries, stained with blood, so densely packed that it made her scalp tingle.
"No!" Ning Yao screamed and sat up in bed, covered in sweat. Her pure white pajamas clung to her back, leaving a wet stain. She was panting heavily, and her beautiful fox-like eyes flashed with fear in the darkness.
She suddenly got out of bed and took out a delicate black brocade box from a drawer. When she opened it, she found half a piece of black jade inside, the same one that Wen Tingye was wearing.
The black jade in the box was so ordinary that no one could see any mystical properties in it. However, Ning Yao took it into the spatial spiritual spring and hung it above the spring. After a while, the black jade began to emit a dim light. It was crystal clear, and there seemed to be a liquid flowing inside, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, making it unpredictable.
Ning Yao stared intently at the half of the black jade, confirming that it still resonated with her other half, before the weight in her heart finally lifted.
The scene just now was all a dream. Wen Tingye in reality must still be alive, otherwise the black jade would not have reacted, and the black jade would not have produced a light stream effect on any inanimate object.
Realizing this, Ning Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly raised her hands and used her slender white fingers to tuck the stray hairs on the side of her face behind her ears.
It's good to be alive, but being alive doesn't mean being safe and sound.
He may have been injured, or he may have been on the verge of death...
Ning Yao wished she could leave the country right now and go to the crash site to use her spatial abilities to search for Wen Tingye's whereabouts.
But at this critical juncture, Madam Wen ran into trouble, and she was also restricted in her personal freedom because she was suspected of kidnapping and murder.
Is Wen Tingye isolated and helpless, waiting to be rescued somewhere? Will the search and rescue teams be able to find him?
Ning Yao became increasingly frightened as she thought about it, and had no choice but to force herself to calm down, gather her thoughts, and deal with the matter at hand first.
Ning Yao did not take the black jade out of the spiritual spring space, but instead came out alone.
The black jadeite continued to hang above the spiritual spring, and Ning Yao hoped that the white flame blood jadeite and the black jadeite could work together to protect Wen Tingye.
Barefoot on the corridor floor of her own villa, Ning Yao pursed her lips and silently entered Ai Xiu and Bao Ying's room.
It was late at night, and there wasn't a sound around us; it was eerily quiet.
The two children slept soundly on the bed, not even kicking off the blankets. Their faces were distorted by the pillows, and they looked extremely well-behaved.
Ning Yao looked at the child's sleeping face, smiled gently, and reached out to ruffle the child's hair.
Wen Baoying suddenly turned over in bed, her little mouth opening and closing as she mumbled something in her sleep. Ning Yao didn't hear it clearly, so she leaned closer to listen. When she heard what the child was saying, she froze on the spot.
My daughter sweetly called out "Grandma" in her sleep.
Ning Yao's expression suddenly turned serious. The children's grandmother was still lying in the hospital's intensive care unit, her life hanging in the balance, and it was uncertain whether she could survive...
If the antidote cannot be developed, and Madam Wen passes away, Grandpa Wen, Wen Tingye, and the children will all be heartbroken.
Just thinking about this made Ning Yao feel heartbroken.
Besides, Madam Wen treated her quite well; in this critical moment, she chose to let her go alone, without worrying about her life or death.
The reason why Madam Wen was poisoned by Lian Jiaorui was ultimately because Lian Jiaorui was jealous of Ning Yao for winning Wen Tingye's heart.
Perhaps without her, Lian Jiaorui would have married Wen Tingye long ago, thanks to the matchmaking efforts of Old Madam Wen.
Ning Yao also wanted to save the old lady, but Old Master Wen had sent people to guard her, preventing her from touching the old lady. But how could she find out what the poison in the old lady's body was and how to cure it if she didn't get close to her?
Ning Yao was restless and agitated. She got up from the children's bedside, frowned, and quickly walked out of the house, standing barefoot in the cold courtyard.
She needed to find a spacious place to get some fresh air, as if leaving home and standing under the night sky would help her calm down a bit.
No, she can't just stay at home and waste time.
Three days will pass quickly. If the medical team that the old man hired at great expense cannot find an antidote, then Madam Wen will be powerless to save her.
She needed to go to the hospital as soon as possible to check the old lady's pulse and try to use the spiritual spring in her body to see if she could detoxify her.
Ning Yao couldn't help Wen Tingye, but at least she could protect the Wen family members for him; that was perhaps the only thing she could do right now.
After changing into an inconspicuous black bodysuit, Ning Yao took out the high-tech gravity suction cup that Xiao Wu had once researched and played with, and lightly hung it on the black leather belt around her waist. She then tied her black hair back into a high ponytail.
After getting ready, Ning Yao got into her car and drove towards the hospital.
Ning Yao drove very fast, avoiding traffic lights. Even though she took a longer route, it took her twenty minutes to get there faster than if she had driven straight.
Upon entering the hospital, Ning Yao, wrapped in a brown-apricot trench coat, walked around nonchalantly. At this time, only the on-duty nurses were present. Ning Yao casually registered a name at the hospital gate and successfully entered the back courtyard.
Madam Wen was staying in the intensive care unit, which was on the fifth floor of the hospital. To get into the ward without Mr. Wen's bodyguards at the entrance, the only option was to climb up the wall from the outside.
There were four red-glowing surveillance cameras around the outer wall. Ning Yao calmly identified their positions, then slipped into the blind spot of the cameras and quickly launched the jammer stuck to her wrist. It hit the red light of the camera, and the surveillance system successfully switched the view.
After setting up the monitoring equipment, Ning Yao took off her trench coat and tossed it aside. Using the gravity suction cup at her waist as a support for the wall, she bent over and began to climb.
The wind was strong tonight, and the hair tie that Ning Yao used to tie her long hair was blown off, causing her hair to cascade down and fall onto her neck and back.
She was dressed in black, with black pants and black hair, and a seductive figure. Her hands were stuck to the surface of the wall, and she had a slender waist and long legs, looking just like a sexy catwoman with a ghostly presence.
During this time, medical staff passed by below the ward building, and Ning Yao immediately stopped what she was doing to avoid making any noise that might attract attention.
The balconies outside the ward building meandered outwards, and the complex architectural structure gave Ning Yao a headache. It took her quite a bit of effort to climb up.
