After Being Forced to Become a Bigshot, I Only Want to be Normal

111 I Understand

Lu Ning was injured, so Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi would definitely ask about what happened when they arrived, especially since Shen Yunci might want to take a look at her.

The few of them thought of some ideas, but none of them made any sense. As they were feeling troubled, Lu Jingzhi walked out of the ward.

He was so small that everyone had to look downwards at him.

Lu Jingzhi looked at the group of grown-ups.

If they did not resolve this matter soon and come up with a plausible explanation, Shen Yunci would definitely notice something.

However, Lu Jingzhi’s youthful voice was composed. “A tree on the left side of a street in our neighborhood has been cut down. The stump has spikes on it that are very sharp.”

Everybody did not understand why he suddenly said this, but Huo Jinyan seemed to get something.

“Lin Ci, when you go back, take a small pack of blood and smear some of it on that tree.”

Lin Ci instantly understood. “Got it!”

She pulled Lu Jingzhi along and ran off.

Gu Zi was the slowest to get it.

“What’s she mean ‘she got it’? What does that mean?”

“…”

The few amongst them who understood looked at the tiny figure that was running away.

This child’s intelligence is a little frightening.

On the way back, Lin Ci and Lu Jingzhi passed by the tree stump and spilled some of the blood in their hands down its trunk. Then, they splattered some on their hands and clothes. They milled about outside for a good ten minutes before they ran back, pretending to be distressed.

Shen Yunci and Lu Zhi had already returned.

Lin Ci and Lu Jingzhi knocked on the door anxiously. Lu Zhi went to open the door and was rather shocked when he saw the two of them.

“What’s with this, what happened? Our Little Darling, are you alright? Where’s your sister?”

Overhearing him, Shen Yunci hurried over and almost screamed.

Both of them had blood smeared across their hands and bodies, which looked really frightening.

Lin Ci said in a trembling voice, “Uncle, Auntie, Ning’ning’s injured and in the hospital. Hurry up, we have to go.”

Lu Jingzhi was also sobbing at the side.

“Qing’er! Come out! To the hospital! Your little sister’s injured!”

Lu Qing rushed out and was shocked to see the two of them in such a terrible state.

He snatched his car keys and walked out.

On the way here, the two of them finally explained what was going on.

When Lu Ning and Lin Ci brought Lu Jingzhi out for a stroll, they bumped into someone who wanted to drag Lu Jingzhi away. While they were struggling, Lu Ning was shoved onto the tree stump and then hospitalized with a back injury.

Shen Yunci was terrified. When they came out of the house, she certainly did see that the tree stump was covered in blood.

She was about to burst into tears before they reached the hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, they rushed to the ward, pushed open the door, and saw Huo Jinyan.

“Teacher Huo?”

Lu Zhi recognized him first.

Huo Jinyan was by the bed, looking at Lu Ning. He turned around and saw the few of them.

He took a couple of steps back. “I was passing by, so I came with them.”

Lin Ci and Lu Jingzhi had yet to explain their story to this point, but the dots were already connected.

The two of them met Huo Jinyan when they were asking for help with the injured Lu Ning, so he brought them to the hospital. It seemed very reasonable.

At that time, there was not a single soul there, and there were also no surveillance cameras on either side of that old neighborhood road so there was no way to investigate. Therefore, this matter could be concluded.

Shen Yunci looked at Lu Ning lying prone on the bed, her face pallid. She covered her mouth and started sobbing.

Huo Jinyan glanced at Lu Ning, then turned to look at Lin Ci. “I’ll send you back. You have to clean yourself up.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhi looked at them and nodded. “Little Ci, you should go back. When Ning’ning wakes up, we’ll get her to call you.”
