"I'm going to take a call."
He greeted Meng Jingwei, got up, walked out of the ward, closed the door, and stood in the corridor to answer the phone.
"Qing Muye?"
He Ka Lingchuan accurately called out Qing Muye's name.
After the events of the past few days, He Ka Lingchuan, who had been kept in the dark, also knew Qing Muye's identity.
"Who is this?" he asked.
"He Ka Lingchuan." The other party reported his name, then directly said, "Lian Nuo let you go. My mother was furious when she found out. Not only did she hit her, but she also locked her in a water prison. Do you know what a water prison is?"
Qing Muye's brows furrowed slightly, but he remained silent, waiting for the rest of the story.
"A water prison, as the name suggests, is being submerged in water. And within the royal palace, she is the first royal to be punished in a water prison."
Although He Ka Lingchuan was fond of women, he had his limits.
Especially to He Ka Lian Nuo, his only close sister within the palace.
Seeing her injured because of Qing Muye, he was both angry and heartbroken.
"Is there anything I need to do?"
Since He Ka Lian Nuo had released him, he naturally guessed that He Ka Qing Tang would be furious and would punish He Ka Lian Nuo.
He just didn't expect her to be thrown into a water prison.
He Ka Lian Nuo was injured and submerged in a water prison, the consequences were unimaginable.
"What are you going to do? You, who can't even protect yourself, are planning to save Lian Nuo?" He Ka Lingchuan sneered, not hiding his displeasure. "It's uncertain whether she can survive in the water prison, and now someone wants to kill her!"
"If she dies because of this, remember, you owe Lian Nuo a life!" With that, He Ka Lingchuan hung up the phone.
Qing Muye clenched his phone and sat down on the corridor bench, contemplating He Ka Lingchuan's words.
Since he already knew someone was targeting He Ka Lian Nuo, he would not stand by and watch, and she would never die.
He Ka Lingchuan's call was likely intended to make him realize the unpayable debt of gratitude he owed He Ka Lian Nuo.
"Second Brother, what's wrong?"
Tang Si came out of the ward and saw Qing Muye sitting on the bench, looking troubled, so he asked with concern.
"He Ka Lian Nuo was imprisoned in a water prison by the Hidden Master to save me," he said concisely.
"Water prison?"
Tang Si's brows furrowed, and he walked over and sat beside him. "He Ka Lian Nuo is, after all, the young master of the Hidden Clan. Is the Hidden Master that ruthless?"
"When I escaped after being trapped, I destroyed important instruments and equipment in the research laboratory and eliminated two important figures within the research laboratory. The losses were probably so heavy that it made her so enraged."
Qing Muye understood it this way.
Moreover, when he came out of the research laboratory, he encountered Tang Si and engaged in a fierce battle with others, causing significant damage to the research institute and immeasurable losses.
"That's only part of it. I think He Ka Qing Tang is so angry because you are Meng Jingwei's husband."
Although Qing Muye hadn't mentioned it, Tang Si could guess.
But he still sighed, "He Ka Lian Nuo is indeed brave and responsible, which is admirable. If we weren't enemies, we might have been friends with her."
...
For the next few days, Qing Muye and Tang Si stayed by the hospital's side. Old Master Chen and He Xiao Lan Ya repeatedly wanted to visit Meng Jingwei, but were refused.
Qing Muye never told Meng Jingwei the truth about his injury.
Because once he told the truth, it would only increase Meng Jingwei's guilt and pressure.
Rather than that, it was better not to say it.
The Hunting Grand Ceremony was publicly announced as 'successfully completed', and the winners were the team of Han Junyan and Antina.
