School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

Chapter 545: Paper Can't Wrap Fire


"It's fine, I've been feeling lazy lately anyway, consider it a vacation for myself."

"Xu Fan, have something to eat first."

Li Qinghe forced a smile at this moment, holding the nutritional meal in her hands and began to feed Xu Fan.

"Mhm."

Xu Fan, indeed feeling somewhat weak, nodded his head and let Li Qinghe take care of him.

"By the way, which hospital is this?"

Now feeling a bit more alert, Xu Fan asked Li Qinghe.

"It's just a small private clinic. At a bigger hospital, I was worried that others might find out about your injury."

Now that Xu Fan was injured, if the Ke Family were to find out, it would only be disadvantageous.

After bringing Xu Fan back from Floating Mountain Island, Li Qinghe could only take him here.

Fortunately, her own Li Family had a good relationship with this clinic, which allowed them to keep things secret for these days.

"Has everything on Floating Mountain Island been taken care of?"

Xu Fan nodded and asked another question.

Li Xiaochen's body was something he hadn't had time to deal with. Not only that, but the Lingyin Temple was nearly demolished after that night's battle.

If certain measures weren't taken to suppress the news, it wouldn't be long before word got out.

"Don't worry, I've already handled everything for you."

"These days, you just focus on recovering."

"Mhm, could you help me make a phone call?"

Xu Fan nodded again, and Li Qinghe surely couldn't overlook these issues. He directly asked her to bring him the phone.

According to her, he had been in the hospital for a full seven days.

A whole seven days without news, likely causing many people to worry.

Especially in Jinling, if he didn't hurry to notify them, they might just come charging over...

Not wanting to worry everyone with his injuries, Xu Fan didn't mention his condition when reporting his safety to Jinling.

After the call with Jinling, Xu Fan then phoned Han Dongxu, asking him to come to the hospital right away.

After waiting in the ward for nearly half an hour, he saw Han Dongxu rush into the room, frantic.

"Boss, you...!"

Seeing Xu Fan on the bed, wrapped up like a mummy, Han Dongxu was so shocked his eyes almost popped out.

But after the shock came relief.

Having had no news of Xu Fan for seven whole days, Han Dongxu had almost thought Xu Fan had died on Floating Mountain Island.

Although he was severely injured now, at the very least, he was still alive.

"This..."

His gaze falling on Li Qinghe next to him, Han Dongxu couldn't help but frown.

Isn't she Ke Longxiang's fiancée? What's she doing here?

Although he was curious, Han Dongxu didn't ask any further at the moment.

"What's the situation with Ke Longxiang now?"

Xu Fan looked at Han Dongxu and asked.

"These last few days have been calm."

"Without any news from you, the Ke Family didn't dare to make any rash moves, no actions whatsoever."

Han Dongxu explained to Xu Fan.

Looking at Xu Fan's current state, he thought that if Ke Longxiang knew what Xu Fan looked like now, he would surely regret missing such an opportunity.

"Boss, how about I arrange for some people to come over and transfer you out of here right now?"

After glancing at Li Qinghe, Han Dongxu suggested.

The relationship between the Li Family and the Ke Family was ambiguous. Even with Li Qinghe sitting there, Han Dongxu still felt uneasy.

He felt that it would be best to take Xu Fan away as soon as possible, lest the woman sell him out.

"Don't worry, she's trustworthy."

Understanding what Han Dongxu was worried about, Xu Fan smiled and explained.

If Li Qinghe wanted to harm him, she could have killed him while he was unconscious; why would she wait until now?

"This... okay then..."

Seeing Han Dongxu nod, Xu Fan's gaze shifted to Li Qinghe.

"Bring me some paper and a pen."

"Mm."

Li Qinghe nodded, quickly brought over paper and pen, and Xu Fan said, "I'll dictate while you write."

With Li Qinghe's help in taking notes, Xu Fan recited several medicinal prescriptions.

Xu Fan didn't plan to be foolish enough to recuperate in the hospital for half a year.

With his medical skills, he would be able to recover in no more than a month; why would he need half a year?

When Li Qinghe had finished writing down the prescriptions, Xu Fan asked her to hand them to Han Dongxu.

"The medicine listed here, you go and get them for me. I need them to heal my injuries, and quickly, understand?"

"Don't worry, Boss, I've already prepared everything for you within three days!"

Han Dongxu seriously pocketed the prescriptions, well aware of how important the task Xu Fan had assigned him was.

"Boss, although I shouldn't say this, I still think you should move out as soon as possible."

After securing the prescriptions, Han Dongxu once again suggested.

Li Qinghe, hearing his words, was somewhat displeased.

Targeting her time and again was a bit too much, wasn't it?

Seeing Li Qinghe displeased, Han Dongxu smiled awkwardly and said, "Miss Li, it's not that I don't trust you, but the hospital is full of prying eyes after all."

"It won't be long before word of the Boss's injury gets out."

"At that time, if the Ke Family learns of it, it will definitely bring trouble."

Now that Xu Fan was severely weakened, how could Ke Longxiang pass up such a great opportunity?

After hearing Han Dongxu's explanation, Li Qinghe nodded in agreement.

"Xu Fan, he makes a lot of sense, why don't we..."

Even though moving out of the hospital could affect Xu Fan's recovery, it seemed there was no other choice at the moment.

"No need; this place is quite nice."

As both of them looked towards him, Xu Fan smiled and shook his head.

"But..."

The two wanted to persuade him further, but Xu Fan glanced at them and said, "Paper cannot wrap fire; even if I move out, the Ke Family will eventually find out about this."

After a full seven days, Anadan must be getting suspicious.

With Li Xiaochen missing, she would certainly send someone to investigate on Floating Mountain Island.

With the Ke Family's methods, I believe it won't be long before they uncover the truth about Li Xiaochen's death.

Then, by following the trail, they would naturally learn of my injury.

"Don't worry, letting the Ke Family know this time isn't necessarily a bad thing."

Having a plan in mind, Xu Fan reassured them both.

Not keeping Han Dongxu much longer, once Han Dongxu left, Xu Fan looked at Li Qinghe and said, "Alright, you've been tired these past days."

"Go back and rest well, don't wear yourself out."

Li Qinghe had been working hard to take care of him these past several days, and Xu Fan could not bear to have her worry about him anymore.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before the Ke Family falls. By then, your marriage arrangement will be nothing but a worthless piece of paper."

"Then, you will be free."
