“Got it.”
Gu Qingjiu propped herself up and asked a question that she was concerned about.
“How long have I been unconscious for?”
Lu Ziyang gazed at his watch and immediately replied, “Including the operation, three days in total.”
“Three days?”
Gu Qingjiu was astounded. “Then my older brother….”
“Don’t worry. We especially sent someone to explain things to your older brother. Right now, he thinks that you’re on vacation with your friends. I know that you had plans to go back and visit your parents in two days. But with your arm injury… I’d advise you not to go back for the time being.”
The first part of Lu Ziyang’s speech made Gu Qingjiu feel slightly relieved, but upon hearing his suggestion in the latter part, she instantly shook her head. “I still need to go home. If there aren’t any major issues, I can return in a few days. When the time comes, I’ll just say I fell. It should be fine.”
She had promised her parents that she would go back.
Her father hadn’t seen her for a few months.
Lu Ziyang didn’t force her upon hearing her words. “Alright, I’ll see to the other matters.”
Elder Gong, however, let out a chuckle. “Qingjiu, my disciple, I’m afraid it’s not your home you’re concerned about.”
Gu Qingjiu felt embarrassed upon hearing this.
Of course, she was concerned about her family. But when she heard that she had been unconscious for three days, the first thought that popped into her mind was whether the Chief Instructor had learned of her injury.
Did he look for her during these three days?
But she was also afraid that she couldn’t explain the injury if the Chief Instructor did find out.
Just then, Lu Ziyang handed Gu Qingjiu her phone. “Here is your phone. I’ve been charging it for you. You’ve had many incoming calls and messages. But I couldn’t answer them on your behalf without your permission.”
However, Lu Ziyang couldn’t answer it on her behalf because he knew who the caller was.
Or else there was no reason he couldn’t answer it on her behalf since he could even inform Gu Qingjiu’s older brother.
With her left arm hung up, thankfully, she could still use her nimble right hand.
Gu Qingjiu took the phone from him using one hand. In that instant, she unlocked her phone. She took the time to show concern for her teacher. “Teacher, thank you for visiting me. But don’t you have to go back?”
Gu Qingjiu recalled that other than grooming shooters, her teacher had other significant responsibilities there, so usually, he didn’t have any free time.
It could only be said that he didn’t like to leave that place. Hence it gave others a mysterious feeling.
“Yes, I’ve been gone for quite a while. Now that you remind me, it’s time I should leave.”
Elder Gong nodded. Facing Lu Ziyang, he said, “I’ve scolded you enough. But I figured another person is going to come later. Prepare to die!”
Lu Ziyang was speechless.
Perplexed by Elder Gong’s words, Gu Qingjiu watched as Lu Ziyang sent Elder Gong out with a smile. When she opened her phone, several missed calls popped up on her screen.
Other than one or two from her older brother and parents, the rest came from the Chief Instructor.
But no text messages.
When she saw so many missed calls, Gu Qingjiu froze in surprise momentarily.
Those previous two occasions where she went missing for no reason, the Chief Instructor had never worried. One call would be considered a lot.
Why did he call so many times this time?
Indeed, he hadn’t found out that something had happened to her?
Just as she was suspecting so, she realized that the missed calls stopped yesterday. There was none from today.
Lu Ziyang, who just walked Elder Gong out the door, met Zong Wenxuan guarding the entrance outside. He said with a dazed look, “Boss, someone came. I stopped him according to your instructions, but he has a specially approved document…”
