Jiang Cheng smiled and shook his head. "I know my body well. I'll recover quickly even if I don't need this. You should go back and rest. I'm having a hard time right now." He tactfully asked them to leave. He had been fighting with the assassins during the day and had used up all his Spiritual Qi. He needed to replenish it.
Chen Yiting and Britney looked at each other and nodded. They bade Jiang Cheng farewell and left the bedroom. Medura smiled. She was also concerned that Jiang Cheng needed to take care of his body. For example, she immediately asked the chef to prepare a lot of healing dishes for Jiang Cheng to try.
Jiang Cheng did not refuse Medura's kindness. He was indeed hungry. He had rushed out to save Katyusha during breakfast and had no time to replenish himself. After that intense fight, it was already noon. In the end, he returned to Medura's hotel. He had not eaten anything during this time. Due to the huge consumption of Spiritual Qi and exercise, he was quite famished!
"Thank you very much. I'm indeed very hungry." Jiang Cheng smiled at Medura.
Medura nodded and walked out of the room. Jiang Cheng was about to cultivate his Spiritual Qi when he saw someone else in the room — Katyusha. She did not follow the others out.
"Why didn't you go out with them? You can stay in the same room as Chen Yiting and the others tonight." Jiang Cheng smiled at Katyusha. He did not blame Katyusha at all for his injury, so when he saw Katyusha's guilt-ridden expression, he felt a little helpless and amused.
Katyusha clasped her hands together, feeling conflicted. She looked up at Jiang Cheng and said, "I, I'll stay here tonight. No, I want to stay here until you recover. After all, your injuries make it inconvenient for you to do many things. I can be your babysitter. You got injured because you tried to save me."
"Haha." Jiang Cheng waved his hand. He wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with him, but with just a slight movement, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back. He couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. The smile on his face became painful, and he quickly put his hand down.
"Are, are you okay …" Katyusha quickly came to Jiang Cheng's side and asked. Her eyes and tone were full of concern.
"I'm fine," Jiang Cheng replied with a slightly puckered face. "It's just that the wound was pulled, so it hurts a little."
"Be careful. If you need anything, just tell me. I can help you with anything," Katyusha said sincerely.
Jiang Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded with a helpless smile and said, "Alright, since you want to stay here, then stay here. There will be food sent over later. It's really inconvenient for me to use my hands, so I might have to trouble you to help me sort out the ingredients and dishes. It'll be convenient for me to eat, and you should eat some as well. Just like me, you haven't eaten for a long time."
If a roast turkey was delivered later, with Jiang Cheng's current condition, even tearing the chicken would be a pain. Since someone was doing it for him, he naturally agreed.
"I, it's okay, I'm not hungry." Katyusha shook her head. She looked at Jiang Cheng and said seriously, "There's no need to sort out the food. You don't even have to lift a finger. Let me feed you."
"You, you'll feed me?" Jiang Cheng was slightly shocked.
"Yes." Katyusha nodded. "I've learned nursing skills for a while, so feeding a patient is a piece of cake."
Jiang Cheng did not dwell on this. He chatted with Katyusha, mainly about how they were targeted and how the assassins broke into the hotel.
"So you're saying …" Jiang Cheng frowned slightly. "You were ambushed? Those people pretended to be guests in the hotel, but they were actually planning to ambush you. Then you heard noises outside, and two members of the Lung Hing Society rushed into the room to take you away. But before they could leave, the noises stopped, and then a group of people rushed into your room. They attacked from the balcony and the door. Then the other two members of the Lung Hing Society were killed, and you were taken away. Is that right? "
"Yes, that's right. We didn't notice anything at the time." Katyusha nodded.
"There were no signs before it happened?" Jiang Cheng asked again.
Katyusha thought carefully, then suddenly remembered something. She said, "I remembered something strange, but I don't know if it has anything to do with this. Anyway, I didn't think much of it at the time."
Jiang Cheng's expression changed. He immediately asked in a low voice, "What is it? Tell me."
Katyusha thought carefully and sorted out her thoughts. After a while, she said, "That afternoon, I went out to buy clothes by myself. Because I wasn't familiar with the roads, I went to the hotel reception to ask for a map of the area. Then I ran into a few strange people …"
"Strange people?" Jiang Cheng raised an eyebrow and murmured, "Why would you say they were strange people?"
"They were holding a booklet that looked like a police passport, but there was a silver three-headed eagle symbol on it. After they took out the booklet, they wanted to check all the guests' information in the hotel. Their attitude was even more arrogant than the police. Then, of course, the two cashier ladies ignored their unreasonable behavior and refused to cooperate with them. In the end, these people got angry and threatened the cashier ladies. When I arrived, they were arguing."
Katyusha looked at Jiang Cheng. "They were too arrogant. They wanted to check all the hotel's information with that fake ID. Who do they think they are? And they were so loud and unreasonable. It was really strange. "
"That's all?" Jiang Cheng asked. "Do you think they were strange only because of that?" He did not think there was anything wrong with that, but the symbol of the three-headed eagle that Katyusha had mentioned seemed familiar to him. No, he might have heard of it somewhere. Anyway, it felt familiar.
"No, the strangest thing was their dressing, their tone of voice, and their habits. How should I put it …" Katyusha lowered her head to think of an adjective. Suddenly, she looked up at Jiang Cheng and said, "It's like they were trained from the same mold!"
Jiang Cheng was shocked. Were these people assassins who had been trained by the same men of sacrifice? Thinking about it, it was highly possible. The problem was the booklet with the three-headed eagle symbol. That might be a shortcut to their origins.
"Are these the assassins who ambushed you?" Jiang Cheng couldn't help but ask.
Katyusha shook her head. "No, they don't look like assassins. They look like gangsters. And they're all fat. People like that can't be killers."
If they weren't the assassins who ambushed Katyusha's group, then who were they?! Was it really as Katyusha had guessed, that these people had nothing to do with the ambush? Jiang Cheng looked down at the ground with a serious expression. His mind raced, searching for the three-headed eagle symbol. Why couldn't he remember where it came from? Was it some country's flag? It didn't seem like it … where did he hear it from?! He felt like his head was about to explode.
After thinking for a long time, Jiang Cheng still couldn't come up with anything. He decided to ask Medura tomorrow. This was America. She should know a lot about this.
"Ding dong ding dong …" The doorbell rang.
Katyusha immediately opened the door, and a Malik family bodyguard pushed a dining cart in. On the cart was a table full of delicacies, and in the center was a huge insulated plate. The silver plate was covered with an insulated lid. Usually, this was the main course of a table of delicacies.
"You can leave now. You can come back in an hour to collect the food," Jiang Cheng ordered the bodyguard.
The bodyguard nodded and hurried out, leaving Jiang Cheng, Katyusha, and the dining cart in the room. After the bodyguard left, Katyusha immediately pushed the dining cart in front of Jiang Cheng. She lifted the tablecloth to reveal all the dishes. She prepared the plates and used her knife and fork to pick the best dishes to taste.
Katyusha was very careful when she fed Jiang Cheng, afraid that he would burn himself. Every time, she would place the food next to her bed and make sure that it was not too hot or too cold before putting it into Jiang Cheng's mouth. Her careful movements were filled with warmth and love.
Jiang Cheng enjoyed Katyusha's feeding. He also felt the ambiguity of the atmosphere, and his expression gradually became unnatural. After all, Katyusha was a lover that Belial had given to him. Even though he had rejected her, their relationship was still there, and with this relationship, it added a lot of ambiguity to the temptation.
Katyusha opened the thermal blanket. Just as Jiang Cheng had guessed, it was a large roasted turkey. The golden brown skin looked very appetizing. And because it was a whole turkey in front of him, it gave him a sense of satisfaction. He could eat as much as he wanted. It was like a person eating barbecue, and suddenly the lamb skewers in front of him became a whole roasted lamb. It was the kind of feeling that one could eat wherever they wanted.
Katyusha used a knife to cut open a leg of the roasted turkey. She grabbed the oily front end of the leg and brought it to Jiang Cheng, smiling at him.
With such a delicacy right in front of his mouth, if he didn't know how to enjoy it, he would be too stupid. Not to mention that Jiang Cheng's stomach was rumbling with hunger at this moment, so he didn't care about his face anymore. He bit the fresh and refreshing turkey leg and ate the roasted chicken in big mouthfuls. The taste was especially delicious, and this was definitely the feeling of eating meat in a big bowl.
