Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Give a Chance
From the moment she woke up, Zhong Niangyao knew that she had safely made it through this time. If Heavenly Dao truly wanted her life, there was no way she could have awakened.
Having heard Zhong Niangyao’s words, Lu Yichen also relaxed, his demeanor noticeably easing.
Seeing Lu Yichen’s appearance, a thought struck Zhong Niangyao, and a mischievous smile curled at her lips. “By the way, even though I’ve been unconscious these past few days, I could still hear some of what was happening outside. So, the things you said—I heard them all!”
She really wanted to see if Lu Yichen would feel embarrassed when he realized she had heard every word he had spoken!

After hearing this, Lu Yichen merely paused briefly, then a meaningful smile played on his lips. He suddenly leaned close to Zhong Niangyao and spoke, “Since you’ve heard it all, there’s no need for me to repeat it.”
“Yaoyao, now that you’re fully aware of my feelings, what do you have to say?”
Zhong Niangyao certainly hadn’t expected Lu Yichen to react in such a manner. Wouldn’t most people feel embarrassed in this situation? Yet, when it came to Lu Yichen, he completely broke the mold!
However—
“Since you’ve already fallen so deeply for me, I’ll give you a chance. As for whether you can catch up, that’s up to your own abilities.”
Since Lu Yichen could face this so calmly, she, who had instigated the revelation, naturally couldn’t back down. Besides, she had intended to give Lu Yichen a chance, and there was nothing wrong with seizing this opportunity to say so!
Upon these words, Lu Yichen was momentarily startled, then elation surged in his heart. He stared intently at Zhong Niangyao, and said with deliberation, “Alright, I will definitely catch up to you.”
Zhong Niangyao, who had remained composed until now, felt an inexplicable shyness welling up inside her upon seeing Lu Yichen’s earnest expression.
Quickly, she changed the subject. “By the way, how many days have I been unconscious?”
“You’ve been unconscious for five days.”
Lu Yichen clearly understood Zhong Niangyao’s intent to switch topics, and he was more than happy to oblige. Today’s response from Zhong Niangyao was already an unexpected joy. Pressing the matter further might cause her to feel shy and regretful, which would be counterproductive.
Zhong Niangyao nodded, then suddenly remembered something and asked, “What about the situation on the plane? Has there been any word from the officials?”
Since performing the Heavenly Reversal Technique on the plane, she had fallen into unconsciousness. Although in these past few days, Lu Yichen had been speaking to her, he hadn’t mentioned anything about the hijacking, so she was still unclear about the current situation outside.
“The official side hasn’t released any news yet,” Lu Yichen shook his head and said softly, “We’ll handle this matter after you’ve recovered. Don’t worry, the officials definitely won’t act rashly.”
“Moreover, if it weren’t for you, everyone on that plane likely wouldn’t have survived. Even if the officials know something, they wouldn’t dare to act on it.”
“Furthermore, you’re the hero of this incident. They should reward you.”
Hearing Lu Yichen’s bold words, Zhong Niangyao couldn’t help but chuckle, then shook her head. “There are departments above us that deal with special incidents, so there’s no need to hide anything. But, we can’t tell the federal government the truth.”
“This was all precipitated by them; they should be more concerned! I think I’d rather not let the federal government know about my abilities—it’s too troublesome.”
Lu Yichen nodded, “Rest assured, I won’t let the federal government learn of your existence. I’ll send someone to communicate with them.”
Receiving this response, a thoughtful glimmer crossed Zhong Niangyao’s eyes. She then inquired, “Lu Yichen, what exactly is your identity?”
She felt that Lu Yichen’s identity was definitely not as straightforward as it appeared.
So much had happened, and since they came directly from the plane, it was impossible not to attract the government’s attention. But up to now, it seemed no one had come to question what exactly had occurred.
Besides, Lu Yichen was now saying he would send someone to communicate with the federal government. Certainly, this was not something the ailing scion of the Lu Family could do, and perhaps not even Old Master Lu had the ability to do so.
Thus, she was quite curious about Lu Yichen’s true identity.
“I’m the head of the special department you just mentioned,” Lu Yichen did not conceal the truth and promptly divulged, “This team specializes in dealing with phenomena that can’t be explained by common sense and reports directly to the top leader, independent of any other authority.”
There was something he left unsaid: the top position had changed hands several times, yet he had remained firmly in place.
Zhong Niangyao understood and did not press further. “Then just handle this matter yourself! I won’t be involved.”
She had no desire to attract these kinds of troubles. There was plenty on her own plate, such as setting up a stall on Tongtian Bridge. Each of her own matters was far more important than this one.
Lu Yichen nodded and said nothing more.
“By the way,” Zhong Niangyao suddenly spoke, “I haven’t heard my grandparents’ voices over these days. They must know I had an accident! Why haven’t they come to see me at all?”
It just didn’t make sense!
All along, Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong had shown true affection for her. They knew which flight she was on; thus, they must have been aware of the incident.
How could they possibly not check on her whereabouts!
Hearing Zhong Niangyao mention Old Sir Zhong and Old Madam Zhong, Lu Yichen couldn’t help but feel slightly guilty, remembering that he hadn’t allowed the elderly couple into the hospital room these past few days, which made him feel somewhat uneasy.
“What’s wrong?”
Seeing the look on Lu Yichen’s face, Zhong Niangyao was startled. “Could something have happened to Grandpa and Grandma?”
Other than that, she couldn’t think of any other reason they wouldn’t come to see her.
