Jiang Xue got up, walked over to Lu Jintian, reached out to check his pulse again, confirmed he would be fine, and then left.

After leaving the hospital, Jiang Xue went straight home. She then entered the kitchen and reheated the buns Nangong Chen bought in the morning, preparing them for Little Reunion.

While she was busy, a series of loud knocks echoed in Jiang Xue’s ears. She frowned involuntarily and walked to the door with a hostile look, glancing through the peephole.

At a glance, Jiang Xue’s expression instantly changed. Outside stood several men in black suits and sunglasses.

One look and Jiang Xue knew these people were trouble. She frowned, then returned to the living room, picked up Little Reunion, and placed her back into the space.

She did not open the door, but she couldn’t guarantee that those outside wouldn’t kick it down, so she chose to hide Little Reunion to be safe.

If those people broke in, she could go all out without distraction. Besides, she couldn’t shake the feeling that Lu Jintian’s car accident was suspicious, as if someone orchestrated the whole thing.

However, she didn’t know who the other party was, whether they were Lu Jintian’s enemies or someone she had offended. If it was her enemy, it would likely be Nangong Yao. But if it was Lu Jintian’s enemy, then she needed to investigate properly.

After knocking on the door for a while and seeing that Jiang Xue still wouldn’t open, the men outside began discussing softly.

"What should we do? She should be at home, but she won’t open the door. We can’t get in."

"How about we just kick the door down?"

"That doesn’t seem right. If we kick the door and get caught, what if someone calls the police?"

"What’s there to be scared of? Didn’t Miss say she’d handle it? Besides, Miss said that woman doesn’t have any backing, even if we kick her door down, she can’t do anything to us."

"Why don’t we wait a bit more?"

"Wait? If she keeps not opening the door, are we supposed to wait forever?"

"Don’t worry, she’ll definitely open the door. After all, there’s someone lying in the hospital."

"True, then let’s not kick it. Let’s wait here and see how long she can drag it out."

The conversation outside was clearly audible to Jiang Xue. After placing Little Reunion into her space, she stood by the door, quietly listening to the commotion outside.

Earlier, she had suspected that Lu Jintian’s car accident was likely intentional; she didn’t expect to learn who was behind it so quickly.

From the tone of those outside, they were likely Nangong Yao’s people. Lu Jintian’s car accident was also Nangong Yao’s doing.

That damn Nangong Yao, apparently she was too lenient with him that afternoon. She merely taught the opposing party a lesson, yet the opponent wanted Lu Jintian’s life.

Fine, very well, a tit for tat is only fair. Since Nangong Yao wants Lu Jintian’s life, then don’t blame her for being ruthless.

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. If she doesn’t pay back one by one, then she wouldn’t be Jiang Xue.

Though silence fell outside, Jiang Xue knew they were waiting for her to open the door. She also pondered whether or not to open it and teach them a lesson.

While hesitating, Little Fox’s voice rang in her mind.

"Woman, do you want revenge?"

"Do you have a plan?" Jiang Xue was stunned and asked excitedly.

Of course, she wanted revenge, but she couldn’t afford to get herself involved.
