"Just wait a little longer; the doctor will be here soon." There was also a hint of fatigue in his eyes, having just taken several phone calls.
He had canceled the evening’s activities and was taking the opportunity to rest.
He hadn’t slept for more than a few hours these past days, and his already burdensome work had been thrown into disarray by Bai Youchen’s appearance.
He sat on the sofa, eyes closed.
It was only now, after the earlier flurry of activity, that he started to reflect on the matter.
Had Lu Wanwan made a mistake, or had she been tricked?
She was certain about those two people, but could she be certain that they were only looking for Bai Youchen here?
If it was intentional, why would they leave her alone like that?
Bai Lingyun considered all angles and couldn’t see why those looking for Bai Youchen would have any special plans for Lu Wanwan.
As for her current condition, based on the last time, they wouldn’t dare to touch her, so she probably wasn’t in any life-threatening danger.
If those people felt that Lu Wanwan’s presence was a hindrance, leaving her passed out and unattended seemed plausible.
He hadn’t fallen asleep despite having his eyes closed for a while when suddenly he heard her voice.
Bai Lingyun immediately stood up and walked back to the bedside.
Lu Wanwan’s head was splitting with pain; she pressed her head and struggled to open her eyes, "Bai Lingyun?"
Her voice was still very weak, but at least she was conscious, which was an improvement from earlier.
"How do you feel now?" Bai Lingyun could never be certain how she fainted, so he didn’t get too close to her.
"I don’t know." She sat up in bed.
Her mind was foggy; she couldn’t quite remember what had happened.
"Try to think, what’s the last thing you remember?"
"I was going upstairs, talking to you on the phone as I climbed... right, I saw those people who chased after Bai Youchen last time." She held her head in her hands, thought for a long time, and finally looked up, "But I don’t remember what happened after I went upstairs."
Bai Lingyun nodded, "It’s okay, nothing happened afterward. Are you feeling alright now?"
Lu Wanwan felt weak all over and just shook her head, "I have no energy, it feels like I’ve been sleeping for a very long time. Where is Bai Youchen? And those two people, were they found?"
"Wanwan, you might have made a mistake." He sat down by the bed, "Bai Youchen wasn’t here at all; he’s still with Song Ning. Do you recall them mentioning anything related to Bai Youchen?"
"They didn’t mention names." She leaned against the bed, thinking hard, and finally sighed, "Maybe I was mistaken. When I saw those two and heard what they were saying, I assumed they were looking for Bai Youchen. But are you sure he hasn’t left Song Ning’s place?"
"Yes, I’m certain; I’ve already called Song Ning." Bai Lingyun sighed in relief and offered a comforting smile, "Maybe they were after that person but just followed the wrong lead. If you’re okay, rest for a while, and once Song Ning confirms you’re fine, we’ll leave here."
Lu Wanwan glanced outside at the darkening sky, "What time is it now?"
"Just past nine." Bai Lingyun gave her a look, "Didn’t you let Mr. Gu know?"
Lu Wanwan found her phone and sent a text message while speaking, "I had dinner plans with Xu Yuan tonight, but I should be getting back by now."
She typed a message saying she was with Wen Qiao and would return later.
"Right now, I probably can’t walk very far."
After sending the text, she was relieved that Ji Shaoyang was away on a business trip.
If her body recovered too slowly, she might need Wen Qiao’s help.
