Goodnight, Mr. CEO! Chapter 26

The Nurse

Early next morning…

The fire last night had become the hot topic in town.

Everyone knew the person who lived in the burnt bamboo house, and the oppressed villagers who usually dared not comment could then praise the lord for karma.

Since then, Old Lady Chen’s rice noodle shop was no longer open for business.

No one knew where she went, just like no one knew where she came from.

Lin Hanxing slept well last night, possibly owing to the green plum wine.

As soon as she walked out of the room, she saw a person and the peregrine falcon looking at each other in the yard.

The falcon flew and landed on Lin Hanxing’s shoulder as soon as it saw her.

The pair of black eyes seemed proud and it tweeted when it looked toward Lei Xiao.

“Looks like you had a good sleep last night.” Lei Xiao put his hands on her head and caressed it gently.

Lin Hanxing was slightly annoyed. Did he treat her as a kid?

Uncle Dumb brought a basket of freshly peeled bamboo shoots into the yard with Uncle Jin, who was in charge of managing the pawnshop.

Lin Hanxing restrained all her emotions when she saw Uncle Jin.

She gently patted the peregrine falcon’s head and allowed it to fly aside.

“He’s here.” Uncle Jin only said a few words.

Lin Hanxing smiled faintly.

“We’ve got a business.”

…

The house was filled with faint scents of bamboo and tea.

Lin Hanxing had a way of making tea—it was authentic, the way she made it. The nurse who just entered the house was slightly dumbfounded.

The nurse looked very young. She probably came in a hurry as she did not have her nurse uniform changed.

“Have a seat.” Lin Hanxing looked up at her and smiled slightly.

The nurse suddenly snapped back to her senses with flushed cheeks.

“I’m here on behalf of Mr. He.”

Lin Hanxing brought the tea to her and paused for a while. She then handed her a square handkerchief and hinted for her to wipe her sweat off.

The nurse was stunned to see the handkerchief.

Perhaps she was used to using tissue paper, so it was strange for her to see someone still using a handkerchief.

“The public knows that Young Master He was unconscious for three years now.”

The nurse nodded without giving much thought, but her eyes widened when she suddenly realized something.

She only said ‘Mr. He’ and Lin Hanxing seemed to know what was going on.

‘That was scary!’

‘How would she know?’

The reason why the nurse was sitting in front of her was because of Lin Hanxing.

What Lin Hanxing asked the middle-aged couple to do…

Obviously, they succeeded.

“Go back and tell Mr. He that I’ll accept the task.”

Lin Hanxing took a sip of tea and answered casually.

“But since he came to me, he should know my rules. He has tolerated it for three years so a few more days wouldn’t make much of a difference… I’ll be sent back to Jiang City in the coming week, then…”

She slowly raised her head and looked at the nurse.

“I’ll contact him.”

The nurse walked out of the house in a daze when she finally realized something…

Lin Hanxing took the lead of the conversation before she could utter a word.

…

Lei Xiao greeted Uncle Dumb as he came out from the house.

It did not take long before someone grabbed his shoulder from behind.

However, he was quickly subdued by Lei Xiao.

“Mr. Lei, are you going to break my hand?”

Yan Beixiao had to admit that he had only a 20% winning chance fighting against Lei Xiao versus 90% against everyone else.

The gap was huge!

“How’s the situation in Jiang City?”
