An Ping saw him get out of bed and walk towards the door, slightly opening it to look outside before locking it.
“Don’t open the door, just wait until it stops outside.”
Compared to He Jingsi’s calm appearance, An Ping was much more anxious.
“Are they looking for us?”
“The group that just arrived outside is, but the one that came in is from another faction.”
“I couldn’t understand what they were saying.”
Thinking back to what the man had said, An Ping felt completely confused.
He Jingsi sat on the hospital bed, leisurely peeling an apple with a knife. The one that had fallen on the floor was no longer usable.
“They said they found the wrong person. If I’m not mistaken, they are a foreign faction, and they belong to the Fanying family.”
“Fanying?”
An Ping was particularly surprised. “Is that the family that has existed for a hundred years and has now retreated?”
“Didn’t they say they no longer handle any matters in the world? How are they appearing in our country now?”
He Jingsi chuckled softly. “The ‘Falling Cherry Blossom’ actually refers to an eagle. Since they are an eagle, how could they be willing to do nothing and wait for others to grow strong enough to eliminate them?”
He plunged the knife directly into the fruit, its tip piercing through the apple. With a slight movement of his hand, the apple split in half.
“The retreat is a facade, sitting behind the scenes is the truth.”
He warned, “In the future, don’t confront them head-on. With our current strength, we can’t face them directly.”
An Ping naturally understood the seriousness of the situation. In this circle, everyone knew the name of the Fanying family, yet no one had ever seen them.
Aside from a faction in the country affiliated with Fanying, those people never participated in any matters and always maintained an attitude of watching the show.
Of course, no one dared to target them. Because even if they were not the main family of Fanying and just a branch, they were not something they could provoke.
After realizing their level of threat, An Ping sighed and thought that it was that he didn’t act impulsively just now. Otherwise, they would have been done for.
While they were talking, the gunfire outside had significantly decreased, with shots ringing out only every few minutes.
After an unknown amount of time, a series of synchronized and powerful footsteps approached. He Jingsi and An Ping exchanged glances, understanding each other’s emotions.
An Ping immediately stepped to the door, his body tense.
After a while, gunfire rang out a few more times before someone knocked on the door.
The sound of knocking was initially chaotic, but upon closer listening, there was a faint pattern conveying a signal.
An Ping sighed with relief. It was their people.
As he turned around, he noticed He Jingsi had already lain down.
If he hadn’t known that the man was awake, he might have doubted whether he had seen incorrectly just now.
When he opened the door, he saw a youthful face that made him think the person might still be a minor.
Back then, An Ping was deceived by this face. Later, when he learned that the person was already twenty-five and had experienced pain all over from being beaten by him, he realized that one shouldn’t judge a person by their looks.
Otherwise, one might not even know how they died.
“Yize, why are you here?”
Yize stood at the door without moving. “How is he?”
Knowing he was asking about He Jingsi, An Ping waved his hand. “He hasn’t woken up yet!”
Upon hearing this, Yize’s breath faltered slightly.
“Didn’t you say his body was recovering well? Why is he still unconscious?!”
Understanding Yize’s feelings, An Ping shook his head, his words filled with sorrow: “After waking up last time, he hasn’t responded until now. The doctor said if he doesn’t wake up soon…”
