However, as for Nurse Xu Xiaobei...
She asked, "How is Nurse Xu? Is her life out of danger?"
She hoped Rong Yi hadn't killed anyone.
Lu Wei replied, "She only suffered minor injuries and is out of danger. But... it seems she was severely frightened last night and is now mentally unstable. She's been transferred to another psychiatric hospital for treatment."
This...
Gu Qiqi scratched her hair and cautiously glanced at her senior—when he spoke of this matter, his expression was very calm, but when it came to Xu Xiaobei, there was a rare hint of schadenfreude in his eyes...
So, Gu Qiqi didn't hold back either. A mischievous smile crept onto her face as she exchanged an indescribable look with her senior.
Then, Gu Qiqi clenched her fist, expressing her admiration for that mysterious person: "I really wonder who this righteous hero is? He's like the embodiment of Daredevil, making all the bad guys pay in one night—how satisfying!"
Lu Wei smiled: "You should worry about yourself first. I've already sent someone to the police station to clear your record, and I've negotiated terms with those who sued you. They won't bother you anymore."
Qiqi quickly said, "Thank you, Senior. I'll definitely have Rong Yi come and thank you!"
Lu Wei raised an eyebrow: "No need for him to thank me. I didn't help him at all."
Qiqi was startled: "Senior, do you mean..."
Lu Wei replied, "Rong Yi assaulted the urban management officers and the police. Clearing his record is impossible, and he's now suspected by the police of endangering public safety—the psychiatric hospital building was probably torn down by him, right? So, a prison sentence is inevitable."
Qiqi panicked upon hearing this: "A prison sentence? What do we do? Senior, is there any way you can help him?"
Lu Wei sighed, his gaze deep as he looked at the girl: "Qiqi, you know who he is."
Qiqi nodded but remained persistent: "Senior, I know he's a demon, but he's a good demon. He only did this because of me."
Lu Wei fell silent.
Qiqi sat up and tugged at her senior's shirt hem: "Senior, please help out~~"
At the same time, she earnestly lifted her small face, looking up at her senior with eyes full of hope, as if gazing at a savior.
Lu Wei met the girl's gaze, abruptly closed his eyes, and then let out a deep sigh: "Fine..."
Qiqi immediately beamed: "Thank you, Senior. You're such a good person!"
Lu Wei gave a bitter smile: "Don't thank me just yet. Helping you comes with conditions."
Qiqi was taken aback: "What conditions?"
Lu Wei wiped his hands, pulled a red wooden jewelry box from the desk drawer, and opened it. The demon-repelling ring on the dark velvet lining was strikingly visible.
"Unless you agree to put on this demon-repelling ring right now," Lu Wei said.
When Lu Wei brought out the demon-repelling ring, Gu Qiqi froze—did her senior insist she wear this ring?
She explained, "Senior, Rong Yi really isn't a bad person..."
Lu Wei's tone was gentle, but his stance was firm: "You must agree."
Seeing Qiqi's troubled expression, Lu Wei's tone softened slightly: "This ring won't harm Rong Yi. It only prevents demons from clouding your mind."
Oh, in that case, fine.
Qiqi nodded and reached out to take it, but Lu Wei personally removed the ring, took her hand, and solemnly slid it slowly onto the middle finger of her left hand—a beautiful silver ring with a base shaped like a pair of spread wings, holding a pure, translucent round gem. The gem was a vivid emerald green, complementing the girl's soft, fair fingers, making it look very lovely.
