Chapter 2328: Leaving It to Fate

Meng Yunzheng entered the room, and Zhao Xi closed the door, immediately whispering, "What's going on? What's the situation with these pineapples?"

The inn's assistant, who had been in the room, came forward and helped Meng Yunzheng take off the wicker basket he had been carrying.

Meng Yunzheng pulled back the cloth covering the basket, revealing a slightly smaller pineapple on top, and then he removed the clothing underneath, exposing the person beneath.

Zhao Xi leaned in closer and exclaimed, "Isn't this... Wei Shi?"

"Quick, let's save her."

Zhao Xi rushed to assist, carefully helping the injured Wei Shi onto the bed.

After taking a brief look, his expression turned grave. "How could this happen?"

"I don't know. When I found her, she was covered in blood, hiding in an alley. She had two stab wounds in her abdomen. I used some hemostatic medicine on her, but her condition is not optimistic."

While listening, Zhao Xi took out his medical kit and began treating Wei Shi's wounds with a serious expression.

Since there was little Meng Yunzheng could do at the moment, he changed into clean clothes and removed his makeup.

The assistant couldn't linger in the room for too long, so after finishing his task, he left the room, saying to the people inside, "I'll leave you to it. If the guest needs anything, feel free to find me."

Meng Yunzheng handed him a reward silver coin and said, "Bring us a basin of water for washing, we need to freshen up."

"Of course."

Once the assistant left, Meng Yunzheng closed the door and asked in a hushed tone, "How is she?"

Furrowing his brows, Zhao Xi replied, "The attacker seemed to intend to kill her. Judging from the scratches on her body, she must have resisted, and the attacker's aim was slightly off. However, she has lost a significant amount of blood, so it's hard to say."

Meng Yunzheng looked at Wei Shi lying on the bed, her face as pale as paper, and whispered, "If we can't save her, what about Xiao Song Le's situation..."

"I will do my best."

With the sky now completely bright outside, various noises could be heard in the distance. The assistant had delivered a basin of water, and Meng Yunzheng instructed him to inform Shu Yu in another room about the situation here later.

After nearly an hour of work, Zhao Xi finally withdrew his hands, turned to Meng Yunzheng, and said, "Now, all we can do is leave it to fate. You haven't slept all night; go back to your room and rest. I'll watch over her."

Zhao Xi got up to wash his hands, pouring the basin filled with bloodied water behind a screen into a bathtub. They couldn't dispose of the bloodied water openly for now, so they had to temporarily handle it this way.

Meng Yunzheng nodded and was about to leave. Before closing the door, Zhao Xi said to him, "Hurry back to your room. I need to catch up on some sleep."

Meng Yunzheng stood outside the door for a moment in silence, then walked back to his room, holding the pineapples in his hands.

As he entered his room, Shu Yu asked softly, "What's going on? The assistant came over earlier and told me you brought back someone in critical condition?"

"It's Wei Shi."

"Wei..." Shu Yu widened her eyes. "What happened to her?"

Meng Yunzheng briefly explained the situation when he encountered her. "I don't know the details. We'll have to wait until she wakes up to find out."

However, whether she would wake up remained uncertain.

Meng Yunzheng hadn't slept all night, so Shu Yu advised him to rest.

In the afternoon, she found an excuse to visit Zhao Xi's room and checked on Wei Shi. She had yet to awaken, and her fever had worsened.

Shu Yu was worried that if this continued, even if Wei Shi woke up, she might have been mentally affected by the fever.

But they had done all they could, and now it was up to Wei Shi herself.

Shu Yu thought for a moment and decided to mention Gouwa's name in front of Wei Shi, hoping it might provide some help.
