Jin City, Boxin Hospital.
This hospital was the private property of Li Zishen and had no relation to the Yishen Group. It was founded by his grandfather Li Beichuan when he was alive.
Bai Long lay in the hospital bed with his arm bandaged, and his right leg as well, his mood sowhat downcast.
He had just awakened when Li Zishen arrived.
"Brother Shen, I’m sorry."
Li Zishen gestured for the attendants to leave first, then sat down on the sofa, looking at Bai Long with a gentle gaze, "Just focus on your recovery, this is not your fault."
"But the deadline... isn’t far away."
What Bai Long was most worried about was that if Du Jiahao couldn’t be rescued before noon, the video of Madam Lai being humiliated might very likely be leaked to the dark web.
"When you were attacked, Du Jiahao was already dead, and the person on the phone said... it was your doing."
This referred to an electronic voice.
"Dead? It must be Leng Lingxiao! Surely it couldn’t have been their own people framing and setting up, could it?"
Li Zishen shook his head, "Not sure. However, it doesn’t really matter anymore, that puppet master... simply wanted an excuse to target the Leng Family, who killed him... is not important."
"What about your uncle... How is he doing?"
"He just finished surgery, he must be hiding so secret that concerns our Leng Family."
"Brother Shen, could there be a possibility that..."
As the two were discussing, Chen Xin suddenly knocked and ca in, and seeing his complex expression, Li Zishen knew that sothing must have happened again.
Indeed, it was about Madam Lai.
She sohow got the news that her brother Yuan Feng had been subject to two assassination attempts, and was currently still in the ICU.
Li Zishen quickly got up to leave.
By the ti he arrived, Madam Lai was leaning against the ICU glass, crying inconsolably.
Her complexion was very haggard, pale, tears continuously flowing from her eyes, as if her entire being had collapsed.
Beside her, Nanny Wu also looked very worried.
"Madam, please don’t be too heartbroken!"
"It’s all my fault, it’s all because of , this is all my fault."
Madam Lai suddenly grabbed her hair, muttering to herself, then closed her eyes, letting the tears fall along her cheeks.
She couldn’t believe that her only brother would have been subjected to two assassination attempts in Jin City.
This was their Leng Family’s turf!
Seeing his mother in this state, Li Zishen felt full of guilt and heartache. He knew that he held an undeniable responsibility for his uncle’s situation.
It was he who insisted on bringing his uncle to Jin City.
Li Zishen walked over to his mother’s side, gently grasping her arm, and comforted her, "Mom, don’t worry, I promise uncle will be alright."
Madam Lai slowly turned around, and seeing Li Zishen, a glint of hope flashed in her eyes.
She grabbed Li Zishen’s hand, looking at him helplessly, "Son, you must save him, without him... there’s no you. Save him, he can’t die, your uncle can’t die, absolutely not."
Li Zishen: "?"
Without uncle, there’s no ?
"Mom, what did you just say? What do you an without uncle, there’s no..."
Before Li Zishen could ask for clarity, he saw Madam Lai suddenly crouch down, her gaze a bit vacant, her mouth muttering sothing incomprehensible.
Seeing this, Nanny Wu, while wiping her tears, softly said, "Young Master, perhaps we should let Madam rest for a while?"
Li Zishen didn’t speak, just nodded slightly, then gently lifted his mother in a fireman’s carry and walked outside the ward.
At this mont, the hospital director ca hurrying over.
He had just finished a eting with several doctors, and upon exiting he heard that Li Zishen had co.
"Mr. Li, do you think... Should we arrange a room for Madam to rest a bit?" The director followed Li Zishen closely, asking cautiously.
"No need, you go ahead with your work."
"This... Okay, yes."
So, the dean dared not follow any longer, his heart filled with trepidation as he watched Li Zishen’s receding figure until he disappeared at the end of the corridor.
...
Huanhai Road, Hai Sheng Company.
Two security guards were admiring a black heavyweight motorcycle in the parking lot, their eyes gleaming as they even felt the urge to touch it.
"Riding this bike must feel aweso!" one guard exclaid, starting to look up the model on his phone.
"Have you found it yet, how much does it cost?"
"Market price is around sixty thousand."
"Oh, that’s not too expensive then."
"Not expensive? Not expensive, you buy one and let see, it’s easy for you to say since you’re not paying."
"Better to take out a loan and buy a car instead."
"That’s the difference you don’t understand. Motorcycles have their own charm. When you zip down the road, the turn-back rate is absolutely more than five or six tis higher than your hundred thousand car, it’s just too cool!"
"That scratch is a bit..."
"You don’t get it, it’s like the scars on a man, with the passage of ti..."
The two were joking around when Tang Xiaowan ca over with her backpack. She had just finished her interview very smoothly, and her mood was exceptionally good.
Hearing the crisp sound of bells behind them, the two security guards suddenly stood upright.
Turning around, they saw a young and pretty girl, dressed in a white T-shirt and blue jeans, smiling as she approached.
Her dark and shiny braided hair naturally rested on one shoulder, trembling slightly with her brisk steps, and the white porcelain-like face coupled with a pair of clear, deep eyes showed youthful energy and confidence.
"Wow, that girl is really easy on the eyes, beautiful!" one guard exclaid.
The other guard widened his eyes and pointed at the black motorcycle, saying in surprise, "This... this cool... black motorcycle, it can’t be this beautiful lady’s, can it?!"
They had never imagined that this cool, heavyweight motorcycle belonged to the seemingly delicate girl in front of them.
Seeing the astonished look on the security guards, Tang Xiaowan smiled politely and said, "Hello, I’m a new employee, Tang Xiaowan."
Happiness ca so suddenly that the two guards were caught off guard.
One of them quickly snapped out of it and responded warmly, "Hello, hello! We’re from the security departnt, my na is Wang Dahai, and he is Li Feng."
"Hello, please take care of in the future," Tang Xiaowan said with a smile.
"Sure, we’re colleagues now."
"Welco to Hai Sheng, welco!"
Wang Dahai and Li Feng both found the girl in front of them incredibly charming, not only because she was beautiful and had a good figure, but also because she was polite.
Tang Xiaowan chatted with them for a bit, then mounted her motorcycle, waved goodbye, and rode off.
Before long, her figure grew distant, leaving Wang Dahai and Li Feng to watch her go until she was out of sight, and then they turned their gaze back.
"This girl is really nice, approachable and not pretentious at all," Wang Dahai remarked.
"More than nice, she’d be even better to take ho."
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Are you saying you don’t think the sa?"
"You’re talking about yourself, right? Want to tell the boss and get you transferred up there? Then you’ll have plenty of opportunities to et her!"
"That would be great, I’d love that."
"Mmm... sure, in your dreams, everything is possible, dreaming so beautifully, ha ha ha."
"Get lost, you’re teasing !"
At that mont, not far from them, was Tian Jiaojiao clutching a folder.
Seeing Tang Xiaowan leave, she couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief and then glared fiercely at the two security guards, her eyes full of contempt and disdain.
"Just a toad lusting after swan at!"
