Chapter 195 Sirius' Assassination

Dormitory at Qingdao University.

"Chengcheng?" Sirius's voice came through the phone.

When Jiang Chengcheng answered Sirius's call, she noticed that his voice sounded a bit off; it wasn't as steady and powerful as usual, and it gave off a weak and unsteady feeling.

"Sirius? What's wrong? Why does your voice sound so weak?" Jiang Chengcheng felt a bad premonition when she heard Sirius's voice.

"It's nothing, just a bit of a cold. I've been a bit busy these past few days and haven't been able to call you as often, so I just wanted to let you know." Sirius paused noticeably for a moment upon hearing this, then deliberately raised his voice a few decibels, trying to reassure Jiang Chengcheng, but his unusual behavior still alerted Jiang Chengcheng to the problem.

"Tell the truth! Otherwise I'll get angry!" Jiang Chengcheng asked seriously.

"………………It's really nothing…I just encountered an assassination attempt, but I'm safe, don't worry, I'm used to it." Sirius thought for a moment and then told the truth. After all, two people should always be honest with each other. He was just worried that Jiang Chengcheng would be concerned, so he subconsciously wanted to hide it.

"What? You call this nothing serious? Where are you hurt? Does it hurt? Where are you now? Are there any people protecting you around?" Jiang Chengcheng's heart clenched when she heard this, and she secretly clenched her fists, wishing she could fly to Sirius right now.

Judging from the other person's voice, it didn't sound like they were alright at all. They were definitely injured! And it looked like they were seriously injured. How could Jiang Chengcheng not be worried?

"It's nothing, just some minor scratches. I'm already at the hospital, I'm safe, and I can go back after it's all taken care of." Even knowing that Jiang Chengcheng would be angry, Sirius still didn't intend to tell her the truth.

"Which hospital are you in now?" Jiang Chengcheng didn't believe anything Sirius said. How could an assassination only result in a scratch!

"...Really, I'm fine." Sirius didn't want Jiang Chengcheng to come to E country at this moment, because if she saw the injuries on her body, she would probably worry again.

"Where is he!" Jiang Chengcheng's tone hardened when she heard that Sirius still intended to hide it.

"Moco Municipal Hospital" – Sensing that Jiang Chengcheng was truly angry, Sirius dared not hide anything any longer.

"I understand. You focus on your treatment first, I'll be right there." Jiang Chengcheng said this and hung up the phone without waiting for Sirius's reply.

She checked the latest flight schedules to country E on her phone and found that the last flight of the day was at 9:30, and it was already past 8 o'clock. Fortunately, the airport was not far from Qingdao University, so Jiang Chengcheng should still have enough time to get there.

Jiang Chengcheng told Gao Xuanyi and Huang Qing on her phone, and before she could even meet them, she packed her bags and boarded a plane to country E.

However, Beijing is quite a distance from Moko, so Jiang Chengcheng will not be able to reach E country today.

No sleep for one night.

The next morning, around 5 a.m., the plane arrived at Moco Airport, and Jiang Chengcheng, with huge dark circles under her eyes, went to Moco Municipal Hospital.

As expected, the VIP rooms on the top floor were almost entirely under lockdown, and there were also many military personnel patrolling the area around the hospital. Jiang Chengcheng was already familiar with Sirius's bodyguards, so after arriving at the top floor, she simply greeted them and was let in. Of course, Sirius himself had given prior instructions.

When Jiang Chengcheng came in, she asked about the situation briefly. It seemed that Sirius had just undergone surgery and the anesthesia had not yet worn off. He was currently resting in bed.

Afraid of disturbing Sirius, Jiang Chengcheng quietly sat down on the sofa next to him, rubbed her slightly sore eyes, closed them to rest and wait for him to wake up.

About two hours later, a soft groan came from the bed. Jiang Chengcheng slowly opened her eyes. Sirius had already sat up in bed, but he seemed to have touched his wound. Cold sweat was streaming down his forehead, and his face was extremely pale.

"What are you doing! Lie down right now!" Jiang Chengcheng was so frightened by Sirius's actions that she rushed forward to stop him, afraid that he might accidentally tear the stitches that had just been sewn up!

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt," Sirius said, trying to comfort Jiang Chengcheng when he saw her anxious expression.

"It's nothing! If something really happened, who would I cry to!" Although Jiang Chengcheng was very angry about Sirius's concealment, considering his current physical condition, she decided to settle the score with him later after he recovered.

Sirius, a tall man of 1.9 meters, lowered his head like a child after hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words.

"Alright, are you hungry? What do you want to eat?" Seeing Sirius's expression, Jiang Chengcheng finally couldn't bring herself to say anything harsh.

"I'd like something light." Sirius breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Chengcheng wasn't going to pursue the matter.

Unfortunately, what he didn't know was that Chinese girls really hold grudges...

"Something light? You've just recovered from your injury, you can't just eat bread, can you?" Jiang Chengcheng wasn't really familiar with the eating habits of people from E country. Apart from the famous Russian bread, she couldn't think of anything else to prepare for him.

"Do you eat Chinese food? I'll go check around the neighborhood and see if there's any," Jiang Chengcheng said, glancing at the translation and navigation app she had just downloaded on her phone.

“Okay, I’m fine with anything.” Sirius nodded slightly in response to Jiang Chengcheng’s words.

The development of Chinese cuisine is quite extensive. Jiang Chengcheng found a breakfast shop not long after she left. Although it was a modified version, the taste was still quite light.

.........

"Here, preserved egg and lean pork congee. It's a modified version; the ingredients are a bit different from what we have back home, and the taste is also somewhat different. I'll take you to eat authentic Chinese food when I have time." Jiang Chengcheng opened the takeout box of preserved egg and lean pork congee and placed it on the table. But when she saw the bandage wrapped in a twisted knot on the other person's upper body, she finally sighed and resignedly picked up the preserved egg and lean pork congee, muttering to herself.

"It's not serious? You're practically wrapped up like a mummy. Where exactly are you injured?"

Seeing Sirius's forehead covered in cold sweat as he got up, Jiang Chengcheng felt even more sorry for him. She secretly cursed that the assassin would never eat instant noodles without the seasoning packet again, and that even drinking water would cause him to get stuck in his teeth. She hoped that he would be hit by a car and die as soon as he stepped out the door!

"It's nothing, just a puncture to the right scapula." Sirius said casually, as if he were talking about something trivial. This attitude made Jiang Chengcheng both angry and helpless.

In a sense, Sirius wasn't lying. Before becoming the leader, he was a special agent and was already very skilled at this kind of thing. Getting injured was commonplace for him. But even so, Jiang Chengcheng was still very angry at his indifferent attitude.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Jiang Chengcheng asked, suppressing her anger as she saw Sirius in such a state. She told herself to care for the patient and to wait until he recovered before discussing anything else.

"Not yet. There were too many people at the time, and he took advantage of the chaos to escape," Sirius replied, frowning.

If they had actually caught them, the patrols around the hospital wouldn't have been so excessive.
