Got it.

Gu Qingjiu propped herself up and asked a question that she was concerned about.

How long have I been unconscious for?

Lu Ziyang gazed at his watch and immediately replied, Including the operation, three days in total.

Three days?

Gu Qingjiu was astounded. Then my older brother.

Dont worry. We especially sent someone to explain things to your older brother. Right now, he thinks that youre on vacation with your friends. I know that you had plans to go back and visit your parents in two days. But with your arm injury Id advise you not to go back for the time being.

The first part of Lu Ziyangs speech made Gu Qingjiu feel slightly relieved, but upon hearing his suggestion in the latter part, she instantly shook her head. I still need to go home. If there arent any major issues, I can return in a few days. When the time comes, Ill just say I fell. It should be fine.

She had promised her parents that she would go back.

Her father hadnt seen her for a few months.

Lu Ziyang didnt force her upon hearing her words. Alright, Ill see to the other matters.

Elder Gong, however, let out a chuckle. Qingjiu, my disciple, Im afraid its not your home youre concerned about.

Gu Qingjiu felt embarrassed upon hearing this.

Of course, she was concerned about her family. But when she heard that she had been unconscious for three days, the first thought that popped into her mind was whether the Chief Instructor had learned of her injury.

Did he look for her during these three days?

But she was also afraid that she couldnt explain the injury if the Chief Instructor did find out.

Just then, Lu Ziyang handed Gu Qingjiu her phone. Here is your phone. Ive been charging it for you. Youve had many incoming calls and messages. But I couldnt answer them on your behalf without your permission.

However, Lu Ziyang couldnt answer it on her behalf because he knew who the caller was.

Or else there was no reason he couldnt answer it on her behalf since he could even inform Gu Qingjius older brother.

With her left arm hung up, thankfully, she could still use her nimble right hand.

Gu Qingjiu took the phone from him using one hand. In that instant, she unlocked her phone. She took the time to show concern for her teacher. Teacher, thank you for visiting me. But dont you have to go back?

Gu Qingjiu recalled that other than grooming shooters, her teacher had other significant responsibilities there, so usually, he didnt have any free time.

It could only be said that he didnt like to leave that place. Hence it gave others a mysterious feeling.

Yes, Ive been gone for quite a while. Now that you remind me, its time I should leave.

Elder Gong nodded. Facing Lu Ziyang, he said, Ive scolded you enough. But I figured another person is going to come later. Prepare to die!

Lu Ziyang was speechless.

Perplexed by Elder Gongs words, Gu Qingjiu watched as Lu Ziyang sent Elder Gong out with a smile. When she opened her phone, several missed calls popped up on her screen.

Other than one or two from her older brother and parents, the rest came from the Chief Instructor.

But no text messages.

When she saw so many missed calls, Gu Qingjiu froze in surprise momentarily.

Those previous two occasions where she went missing for no reason, the Chief Instructor had never worried. One call would be considered a lot.

Why did he call so many times this time?

Indeed, he hadnt found out that something had happened to her?

Just as she was suspecting so, she realized that the missed calls stopped yesterday. There was none from today.

Lu Ziyang, who just walked Elder Gong out the door, met Zong Wenxuan guarding the entrance outside. He said with a dazed look, Boss, someone came. I stopped him according to your instructions, but he has a specially approved document
