Chapter 489: You are Not a Malicious Person
“Where is your a.s.sistant? Why are you going on your own? Let me accompany you,” Jin Mingchen replied as he helped Lu Jingqi to straighten out his clothes. “Your brother is smart! If there are any paparazzi waiting for you out there, then I will cover up for you and protect you, okay?”
“Okay,” Lu Jingqi replied as he nodded.
“Let’s go.”
Jin Mingchen held onto Lu Jingqi’s arm as the both of them stepped out of the agency because he was a little worried that Lu Jingqi would get lost outside the agency.
In fact, Lu Jingqi’s current situation was almost the same as a regular person now. The only difference was that he was still very innocent and his reaction was slightly slower compared to a regular person. Moreover, his ability to perceive someone else’s emotions was still somewhat a little weaker.”
The both of them walked out of the entrance of the agency before they looked across the street.
There were many cars parked across the street at this time and Jin Mingchen did not know which one of the cars belonged to the Lu family. Therefore, he held onto Lu Jingqi’s hand as the both of them crossed the street together.
When they arrived under the tree, the both of them kept looking around but they could not find any vehicle belonging to the Lu family at all.
“Jingqi, who told you that your father was waiting for you here?” Jin Mingchen could not help but wonder as he scratched his head.
As the both of them were standing on the zebra crossing, Lu Jingqi was about to answer Jin Mingchen’s question. However, at this time, a motorcycle was suddenly speeding towards the both of them.
Lu Jingqi did not realize the danger that he was in, but Jin Mingchen knew that the both of them were in danger. “Jingqi, move aside!!!”
After that, there was a sound of a loud crash.
Lu Jingqi who was pushed aside by Jin Mingchen, fell to the ground immediately. After that, Lu Jingqi was stunned when he saw Jin Mingchen knocked over and laying on the ground.
“Ahh!” Jin Mingchen yelled out loud.
When the rider found out that he had already hit the wrong person, he fled the scene immediately.
“It hurts…it really hurts…” Jin Mingchen yelled as he laid on the ground with his arms wrapped tightly around his chest.
Lu Jingqi quickly crawled over to Jin Mingchen before he said, “Brother Mingchen… Brother Mingchen…”
Lu Jingqi did not know what he should do but he was so worried that tears were already falling down from his face.
Jin Mingchen could tell that the young boy was already panicking because he had a fright and he quickly instructed him in a calm manner “Jingqi, please go and look for someone and ask for help. Jingqi, please go and ask for help…”
After that, Jin Mingchen pa.s.sed out.
…
Throughout this entire time, Xiyuan had been hiding at a dark corner as he waited for someone to come and tell him the bad news that Lu Jingqi had gotten into an accident. He wanted it to be over as soon as possible.
However, when the captain of the team found him, Xiyuan was shocked to find out the person who was involved in the accident was Jin Mingchen and not Lu Jingqi. The captain also explained that Jin Mingchen was injured because he pushed Lu Jingqi aside.
“I don’t know who the hit and run person is but I will wait for the police officer to find out who is behind this matter. After that, I will hunt that person down and kill him!” the captain said anxiously on the way to the hospital. “We have so many activities lined up. What should we do if Mingchen is badly injured? What is even stranger is why Jingqi is out of the agency in the middle of the night? Where is his a.s.sistant?”
Xiyuan clenched his hands into a fist as he fidgeted nervously as soon as he heard his captain’s words.
The few of them quickly arrived at the hospital after a short while. After that, w.a.n.g Jing quickly blocked the news before rus.h.i.+ng over to the emergency room.
At this time, Lu Jingqi was squatting down at one corner of the room as he held onto his head because the scene just now really left a huge impact on him.
When w.a.n.g Jing saw that Jin Mingchen was still in the emergency room, she walked over to Lu Jingqi before she squatted down beside him as she said in a gentle tone, “Jingqi…”
Lu Jingqi raised his head to look at w.a.n.g Jing as soon as he heard the gentle voice. His eyes were red and swollen, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
“Sister Jing…”
Initially, w.a.n.g Jing wanted to ask Lu Jingqi some questions. However, after opening her mouth, she felt as though it was not that important at that moment. Therefore, she reached out her hand and hugged Lu Jingqi as she comforted him as though she was comforting a young boy. “It’s okay. Everything is going to be alright.”
“Jingqi, what exactly is going on? How did Mingchen get injured? Why did you run out of the agency in the middle of the night?” the captain could not help but ask.
Lu Jingqi glanced at Xiyuan who was sitting not too far away before he wiped the tears off his face. He did not answer the captain’s question because he wanted to make sure that Jin Mingchen was fine first.
“Don’t ask him any questions now. Let him calm down first,” w.a.n.g Jing replied as she turned around to look at the captain.
Xiyuan was so nervous at this time and he felt that his heart was about to stop. However, Lu Jingqi’s silence gave him a ray of hope.
He was secretly hoping that he would be able to get away with it.
…
After about half an hour, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room. After that, the doctor told the few of them, “The patient is very lucky. He did not suffer any serious injuries to any of his internal organs but he suffered a concussion and some slight abrasions. I would advise him to take a break for at least half a month.”
Everyone was finally relieved after listening to the doctor.
“That kid, Jin Mingchen really scared us to death!”
“Yes! I guess silly people really have their blessings too.”
“It was such a dangerous situation. That kid really had us worried to death.”
“The patient has already woken up. You can go in and see him now but please try to be as quiet as possible so you do not disturb any of the other patients,” the doctor replied.
“Alright, doctor.”
“Thank you, doctor.”
The few of them quickly entered the emergency room and they were all standing close to one another because it was a small and enclosed s.p.a.ce.
When w.a.n.g Jing saw what was happening, she helped Lu Jingqi to stand up before bringing him before Jin Mingchen.
“Wow!” At this time, Jin Mingchen who was still lying on bed was giving his brothers a high five. However, the expression on his face was a little unnatural when it came to Xiyuan.
“It seems like your daily efforts had not gone to waste after all,” w.a.n.g Jing replied as she glared at Jin Mingchen. After that, she pushed Lu Jingqi in front of him before she said, “You are the one who gave him the scare, so please make sure that you coax him so that he can finally calm down already…”
“Brother Mingchen…”
“Don’t worry about me… didn’t the doctor tell you that I only suffered some minor injuries? You just need to remember that I am your savior and that I saved your life. I will be happy as long as you treat me well in future,” Jin Mingchen said before showing a thumbs-up gesture to Lu Jingqi. “I am serious. It does not hurt at all, silly boy. I am really fine so don’t worry about me anymore, okay?”
Lu Jingqi’s eyes were red and swollen as he held tightly onto Jin Mingchen’s bed guardrail.
“I am really fine! Okay…all of you can go back and rest now. Sister Jing, you should go back and rest too. Xiyuan can stay back to accompany me tonight.”
Xiyuan’s heart instantly sank when he heard Jin Mingchen pointing him out.
This was because he knew that Jin Mingchen already knew what he had done.
“I am the captain so why can’t I accompany you tonight? Why should Xiyuan be the one to keep you company?” the captain asked with a puzzled expression on his face.
“Because there is something that I want to discuss with him,” Jin Mingchen replied with a serious expression on his face.
“Why do you have to be so mysterious about it? What are you going to discuss with him?” Even though the captain was filled with curiosity, all of them respected Jin Mingchen’s wishes and they headed back to the agency immediately.
w.a.n.g Jing was responsible for sending Lu Jingqi back to his a.s.sistant because based on his current condition, it was not advisable for him to continue staying at the hospital.
The few of them quickly left by car and eventually, there were only the two of them left in the emergency room. Jin Mingchen and Xiyuan.
“Why? Jin Mingchen asked directly. “Why did you ask Jingqi to go out of the agency? Why did the motorcycle speed up and why was he heading straight for Jingqi as soon as he stepped out of the building? Please don’t tell me that all this is just a coincidence.”
“It’s…it’s not a coincidence,” Xiyuan replied as he lowered his head without denying the truth.
“Then why? What reasons do you have for doing this? It’s not as if Jingqi is a threat to you at all…”
“He is a threat to me!” Xiyuan suddenly replied in an agitated manner. “I would not have been coerced and forced into a dead-end if it wasn’t because of him!”
“Xiyuan, you are not a malicious person…”
“I am!” Xiyuan replied as he stood up. “I am a malicious person, especially because you could push Jingqi aside just so that you could protect him without worrying about yourself at all.”
