A nurse pushed a cart in, delivering her medication.
After entering, the nurse reminded Jiang Linyu, "Ms. Jiang, it’s time to take your medicine."
Jiang Linyu was roused from her sleep, furious.
Realizing it was a hospital, she calmed down a bit and cooperated by taking the medication.
"Ms. Jiang, I’ll change the dressing for you. Your leg needs a new dressing to alleviate your pain."
Jiang Linyu gave a grunt, lying still to let the nurse change her dressing.
After changing the dressing, the nurse left.
Early the next morning.
When Jiang Linyu discovered that she couldn’t move her leg, she let out a piercing scream.
The doctor came in for an examination and told Jiang Linyu some very bad news.
"Your wound is poisoned, and the toxin has spread. You won’t be able to stand up for now."
The doctor said "for now" and did not make a definitive conclusion.
In the doctor’s view, it was difficult for Jiang Linyu to stand again.
Sitting on the bed and furious, Jiang Linyu raged, "My perfectly fine leg, how could someone poison it? Now I remember, it must have been that nurse last night, she said she was changing my dressing!"
The doctor was full of question marks, "Ms. Jiang, there’s no need to change dressings at night."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Linyu realized she had been set up.
The hospital checked the surveillance, but the footage from last night was damaged.
Jiang Linyu flew into a rage, ordering a full-scale search to find the person who poisoned her.
Nan Qiao came to participate in her second brother Bai Jingyan’s competition.
The competition venue was full of participants, stirring Nan Qiao’s blood with excitement.
In the robot competition, each team brought their own crafted robots.
Some robots could chat with people, some could work, and others were domestic helpers.
Bai Jingyan was accompanied by his robot Xiao Bai as he entered the arena. This wasn’t Nan Qiao’s first sight of Bai Jingyan’s inventions, but it was the first time she stood alongside one of his robots.
"Qiaoqiao, this robot I made can protect the owner’s safety. If danger comes, it can take on a hundred opponents; it has many weapons in its body."
"Wow, second brother, you’re really amazing!" Nan Qiao praised him sincerely.
Although she had defeated Bai Jingyan, she could not deny that he was a talent.
Bai Jingyan was thrilled by Nan Qiao’s compliment.
"Sister, if I win the prize, I’ll give the trophy to you, and we can go accept the award together," Bai Jingyan said, growing more excited by the word.
Chen Xinwan gently pinched Bai Jingyan, "Second elder brother, can you calm down? With so many people around, isn’t your confidence going to invite a jinx? It’s fine if we make fun of you, but wouldn’t it be even more embarrassing if outsiders do?"
Bai Zhenyang also said, "Second brother, keep it down. Let’s talk about the trophy after you’ve won it. Didn’t you also participate in the competition the year before last and lost? Didn’t you lose to Yuan Qiao Technology Company?"
"Mom and Dad, really, you always bring up what shouldn’t be mentioned. Can you stop talking? I have a face to uphold," Bai Jingyan said, awkwardly embarrassed.
Nan Qiao sat silently to one side, because the behind-the-scenes owner of Yuan Qiao Technology Company was none other than herself.
Every product the company produced was approved by her.
Nan Qiao said, "Second brother, give it your all. And to put it bluntly, even if you don’t win first place, you’re still the best second brother in my heart."
"Thank you, sister. Your words really resonate with me."
Bai Zhenyang & Chen Xinwan: "..."
They also didn’t want to talk anymore; honesty wasn’t welcomed either.
Chen Xinwan said, "Jing Yan, we’re not trying to discourage you, but just want you to be a bit more low-key. What if someone else overhears and laughs at you? You are my son, and of course, I also hope you can be the first."
Bai Zhenyang: "We’re just teasing you. If we didn’t support you, why would we come all this way to watch your competition?"
Bai Jingyan chuckled, "Dad, Mom, little sister, thank you for coming to watch my competition. I’m about to go onstage soon; I’ll head over to check things out first."
"Go ahead, and good luck."
All three cheered for Bai Jingyan simultaneously, which greatly lifted his spirits.
Nan Qiao was seated in the spectator area for Bai Jingyan’s team, observing the situation on the field.
Eventually, only ten companies remained in the final competition.
Ke Muran sent a message to Nan Qiao, asking, "Boss, should we go easy on Bai Jingyan?"
Nan Qiao answered seriously, "No, let him play as usual. Even though Bai Jingyan is my older brother, there is no kinship on the competition field. We rely on our own abilities. If I went easy on him, how could I justify everyone else’s efforts?"
Once Ke Muran had Nan Qiao’s approval, he stopped asking and told his teammates, "Give it your all, and let’s aim to keep the first place with Yuan Qiao Technology Company this year!"
As Ke Muran was preparing to take the stage, Nan Qiao caught sight of a familiar figure, Li Ye.
Li Ye arrived fashionably late, accompanied by a two-meter-tall robot.
After Li Ye gave the command, the robot took a few steps forward and with a leap, jumped onto the field.
The appearance of the robot drew everyone’s attention—it was simply too big!
Nan Qiao noticed the robot and also Li Ye’s attire, which came from her own designs.
Nan Qiao hadn’t expected that the person who came to their company for clothing design was Li Ye.
If she had known it was Li Ye, she wouldn’t have designed it!
Just like last time in the hospital, if she had known that Li Ye was the person who needed saving, she wouldn’t have bothered. If he was supposed to die, then so be it.
Sitting in the audience, feeling indignant, Nan Qiao took out her phone to message Deng Bingying, deciding not to accept any more orders from Li Ye.
No matter how Li Ye disguised his measurements, he couldn’t fool anyone. Li Ye can forget about wearing clothes designed by her again.
At this moment, on stage, ten contestants had made their entrance.
Bai Jingyan’s eyes and eyebrows were filled with confidence; the robot he had created this time was phenomenal in one word!
He was very confident that he would certainly crush anyone this time!
Li Ye’s giant robot stood beside him.
The first round was for each contestant to showcase their robot’s abilities.
Nan Qiao sat below the stage, scrutinizing the strengths and potential weaknesses of each contestant’s robot.
After the demonstration, Nan Qiao’s focus was on Li Ye’s robot.
That robot also had off-the-charts combat power, like a well-trained assassin, exuding dominance with every move!
The capabilities of the robot should not be underestimated either.
Ke Muran noticed the change in Nan Qiao’s emotions, but he wasn’t scared at all.
His robot, though not tall, was mighty capable!
Ke Muran wasn’t worried; he was confident that the essence is concentrated!
The battle commenced, and in the end, Ke Muran, Bai Jingyan, and Li Ye remained.
The three of them competed for the first place.
As Nan Qiao furrowed her brows tightly, Li Yehan took a seat next to her.
Familiar voice disrupted her thoughts, and Nan Qiao turned to look at Li Yehan in surprise.
"How come you’re here?"
"Qiaoqiao, it seems every time you see me, you ask that. Can’t I be here? I’m here to make a statement at Bai Jingyan’s competition, to remind Bai Jingyan of his brother-in-law."
