He stood there, his brows slightly furrowed, his mind clearly filtering through various available connections and channels.

"Brother, Li Qing is definitely not in a good condition right now and can't withstand a long period of bumpy travel."

Driving back is definitely not an option; taking the high-speed rail or a regular commercial flight would be the best option...

He's currently on an IV drip and under a monitor, and he can't even get through security.

At this point, Jin Wanliang raised his head, a resolute glint in his eyes.

At the same time, the businessman's extravagant spending spree was on full display on his face.

"I immediately contacted someone to charter a small medical plane."

As long as the money is in place, there are no problems with route applications and medical equipment connections.

"I can finalize this in a few hours at most."

I sat on the edge of the bed listening to his arrangements without saying a word, only nodding slowly.

This can be seen as tacitly acknowledging his safest option.

"Okay, then you should eat first and take a break."

I'm going outside to make a call and arrange things. I'll come back and call you if anything comes up.

Seeing that I had no objections, Jin Wanliang did not delay any longer.

He pointed to the food on the tray, then turned and quickly walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

The room returned to silence, broken only by the faint sound of me carrying the tray.

Jin Wanliang prepared a very thoughtful meal.

They are all high-calorie, easily digestible meats and soups, perfect for someone like me who urgently needs to replenish energy.

I ate slowly, but very cleanly.

The warm food enters the stomach and quickly transforms into warm currents.

Its body greedily absorbed the incoming nutrients, replenishing the stamina it had exhausted in the previous battle.

After finishing all the food on the tray, I breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a bit more at ease.

I stood up and glanced at the simple, separate bathroom in the corner of the room.

After a satisfying meal, it's time to take a shower.

I went into the bathroom, turned on the tap, and tested the water temperature.

Then, I began to painstakingly peel off the tattered cloth that was almost stuck to my flesh on my left shoulder.

Just as I unbuttoned the last bit of my shirt, the little thing lying on my chest suddenly stirred.

"hiss--"

With a faint hiss, the six-winged golden centipede crawled off my skin.

It seemed to be very averse to the gradually spreading moisture in the bathroom.

After devouring the female Gu Master's natal Gu, the golden Gu King's shell gleamed with an even deeper sheen.

The six pairs of transparent wings also appeared larger and more powerful.

It shook its body, as if it felt that the surrounding environment was not dry enough.

Then it suddenly flapped its wings and flew up from my chest.

It hovered halfway in the air before finally landing on the edge of a vent at the highest point of the bathroom.

It was relatively dry there, and far from the mist from the showerhead.

Seeing it lying there quietly, I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

This little thing is quite intelligent; it knows how to avoid harm and doesn't like getting wet.

But I didn't bother with it, as long as it didn't run around and cause trouble.

I stood under the showerhead, letting the warm water pour down from above.

The water flowed over my body, causing a slight stinging sensation.

That was the reaction caused by the water flowing over those tiny wounds.

I didn't use any shower gel or soap, I just rinsed my body with water over and over again.

Watching the water flow at my feet, it gradually changed from dark red to clear.

After washing away the bloodstains, I looked down and carefully examined my body.

The left arm still had a pale color.

Although the muscle spasms have disappeared after the breathing exercise, the internal soreness still exists.

The wound at the base of the thumb had stopped bleeding, but the rolled-up flesh was still quite a shocking sight.

Considering that the upcoming itinerary might still encounter changes, I didn't stay in the bathroom for too long.

After quickly drying myself off, I grabbed a clean bath towel, wrapped it around my waist, and walked out of the bathroom.

The six-winged golden centipede remained motionless on the vent, like an exquisite work of gold art.

I ignored it, walked straight to the bedside, pulled the blanket over myself, and closed my eyes.

This time, I truly emptied my mind.

The cool sensation between the eyebrows, like a gentle stream, circulates freely within the meridians.

With this comfortable coolness, I quickly drifted into a deep sleep without any dreams.

……

I don't know how much time had passed when a series of knocks, both light and heavy, woke me from my deep sleep.

I opened my eyes, and after a brief moment of confusion, my gaze quickly returned to clarity.

The soreness in my body has been greatly reduced, and the evil energy in my dantian has recovered to about 40%.

I instinctively touched my chest.

The surface you touch is a hard, slightly warm shell.

The six-winged golden centipede that had been sheltering from the water at the ventilation opening had silently flown back at some point.

It now settled firmly back into the spot on my heart, as docile as a lifeless jade pendant.

"Enter."

I sat up and said something to the door.

The door was pushed open, and Jin Wanliang stepped in.

He was carrying several brand-new shopping bags, and although his face showed some fatigue, his eyes were exceptionally bright and clear.

"Brother, it's almost time."

Jin Wanliang placed the shopping bag in his hand at the foot of the bed and glanced at the luxury watch on his wrist.

It is 2:10 pm now.

The special plane and the flight route have already been approved. The plane is parked at a regional airport 120 kilometers away and can take off at any time.

As he spoke, he pointed to the shopping bags.

"These are clothes and shoes that I had someone buy in the county town. They were all loose-fitting styles chosen according to your size."

Hurry up and change, we're about to leave.

"Thanks for your hard work."

I nodded to him without saying anything more.

Jin Wanliang is always meticulous in his work, even considering details like changing clothes, which really saved me a lot of trouble.

He turned and left, closing the door behind him.

I opened the shopping bag, inside was a set of soft black cotton casual wear and a pair of lightweight sneakers.

After changing into these clean and refreshing clothes, I felt much more relaxed.

The lingering stench of blood that had been present before was finally completely masked.

After changing my clothes, I packed all my things again to make sure nothing was missing, then I opened the door and left the room.

Stepping out of that small cubicle, the scene before me made me pause for a moment.

Just a few hours later, the abandoned warehouse, which was originally filled with various medical equipment and supplies, was now completely empty.

Most of the security personnel who were originally busy here have also disappeared.
