49: Chapter 47 Chapter 046: Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?

Beep, beep, beep…

Zhang Yantong’s phone rang.

She answered the call and learned that the assassin had been killed by soone unknown.

Forensic determination suggested death occurred no more than ten minutes ago.

Moreover, the assassin had been killed with a direct slash to the throat.

Standing nearby, Da Xia imdiately knew Haozi was responsible, and internally he couldn’t help but give approval.

As long as the enemy was killed, it was a good outco.

“What’s wrong?

Did sothing happen with the police?” Li Ruo noticed the grim expression on Zhang Yantong’s face.

“The assassin is dead!” Zhang Yantong said, head bowed.

“Dead?

Who did it?” Li Ruo was surprised, then smiled and said, “Good that he’s dead.

It’s better than him getting away, right?”

“If the assassin is dead, we won’t be able to find the mastermind behind him.

Mr.

Li, have you offended anyone recently?” Zhang Yantong gazed directly at Li Ruo.

Relying on her police intuition, she knew an assassin wouldn’t kill with such intent for no reason.

She imdiately speculated that Li Ruo must have offended soone in business.

“Haha, Captain Zhang, I’m afraid you don’t quite understand the matters of business,” Li Ruo chuckled and said, “The impact and influence Tianya Group’s entry into real estate has on others…

well, it must be them!”

Sss!

Zhang Yantong’s breath caught in a gasp.

Looking across Jianghuai City, besides Si Yang Group which was also a real estate conglorate, there were essentially no others.

Zhang Yantong was stunned; although Si Yang Group wasn’t as powerful as Tianya Group—but, but it was the company belonging to her own uncle, Zhang Siyang.

At this, Zhang Yantong was completely dumbfounded.

“Haha, Captain Zhang, this has nothing to do with you,” Li Ruo said calmly, shaking his head.

“No!” Zhang Yantong looked firmly at Li Ruo and said, “Mr.

Li, if it turns out that Zhang Siyang is behind this, I will ensure that justice is served!”

“It’s fine, I will find a way to defeat him in the business arena,” Li Ruo straightened up, smiled, and said, “Humph, I disdain underhanded tactics.

Captain Zhang, if you have ti, convey a ssage for to Zhang Siyang.

Tell him to face in the business world if he dares!”

“This…” Zhang Yantong’s face turned beet red.

She wanted to defend Zhang Siyang, but the actions of her uncle left her feeling cold.

He had treated her well, but ever since an incident in the past, Zhang Siyang had ceased all contact with her father.

There was a deep grudge between them.

In the following years, Zhang Siyang focused solely on his business and there was little contact between them.

“Mr.

Li, perhaps we should head back now,” Vice Captain Jin urgently suggested, eyeing Li Ruo.

In these critical tis, they had to be extrely vigilant.

The safest place was within Tianya Group.

Vice Captain Jin was well aware of his own limitations.

With Ye Chen gravely injured and undergoing ergency surgery, one of Ye Chen’s two best n was missing, and although the other was still on the scene, who knew if he would be loyal at such a ti?

Everything now depended on himself.

“No, I must wait for the surgery results!” Li Ruo stood his ground, unmoving.

“Mr.

Li, it’s very dangerous here!” Vice Captain Jin couldn’t contain himself.

“What does it matter if it’s dangerous?” Li Ruo glared at Vice Captain Jin and said, “Who’s the CEO, you or ?”

Vice Captain Jin imdiately frowned and held back his words, standing beside Li Ruo to ensure his safety.

Da Xia gave Vice Captain Jin a glance but said nothing; he approached Li Ruo’s side.

Ye Chen had instructed him that, under any circumstances, Li Ruo’s safety was to be the top priority.

Da Xia kept that command close to his heart.

A group of people bunched together in the corridor, their gazes unanimously fixed on the ergency room door, where the red light of urgency was forever a pain in their hearts.

Li Ruo reminisced about his ti with Ye Chen, this almost grown boy who seed strikingly mature for his age, always managing to catch a fleeting sense of deep, unsettled world-weariness in his eyes, even if it was only the occasional glimpse.

Leaning back in his chair, Li Ruo closed his eyes and reflected on everything—from the mont Ye Chen applied for the job at the company to the last mont when he threw himself over him, the blood seemingly staining his own vision red.

Li Ruo’s head felt heavy, and before he knew it, he drifted into sleep.

When he awoke again, it was to the sound of ‘beep, beep.’ The ergency room doors opened, and Director Qian removed his mask; behind him, several nurses pushed a stretcher out, with Ye Chen lying on it weakly, surrounded by various IV bags, evoking a surge of empathy from onlookers.

“Director Qian, how is the patient?” Li Ruo hurried forward, his hair in disarray.

After such a major incident, he looked exceedingly disheveled, but he no longer cared about such things.

“You…

you are Li Ruo?!” Director Qian was taken aback, looking closely at Li Ruo.

“Uh, yes, Director Qian, my father has a bit of an acquaintance with you!” Li Ruo nodded anxiously and asked, “How is the patient’s condition now?”

“Well, it’s good that you brought him in on ti, the patient’s condition has already been effectively controlled.

However, the next twenty-four hours will be a critical threshold.

If the patient can get through this critical period, the recovery afterward will be relatively quick!” Director Qian nodded gravely and said, “If he can’t get over this hurdle, it’s very likely he’ll get a lung infection and then die.”

Yikes!

Everyone was stunned.

Da Xia, startled, took a few quick steps forward and grabbed Director Qian by the collar with one hand, bellowing, “You old fool, you must save my big brother, or you won’t live either!”

“You!” Director Qian was suddenly hoisted off the ground, his neck caught in an uncomfortable grip.

He panicked and struggled.

“Stop it!” Zhang Yantong imdiately stepped forward to intervene, but found that Da Xia was as strong as an ox, and she couldn’t budge his arm.

Zhang Yantong was shocked, realizing that if anything happened to Director Qian, this guy would not escape bla.

She imdiately pulled out her pistol and shouted angrily, “Let go, or I’ll shoot!”

Thump!

Director Qian was thrown by Da Xia against the wall, stumbling into it.

Fortunately, he hit it with his back, which saved his old bones from falling apart.

He quickly waved his hand, saying, “Tongtong, stop…

I’m okay, put the gun away!”

“Director Qian, are you alright?” Zhang Yantong hastily put away the gun and rushed over to help Director Qian up.

“I’m fine, I’m fine.

I’ve seen a lot of this kind of thing!” Director Qian said with a smile, patting Da Xia on the shoulder and adding, “The patient’s condition is now stable.

Being anxious is useless, but I understand your feelings.

I hope next ti you’ll show respect to the dical staff!”

After saying this, he left with his assistant and a nurse.

Ye Chen was temporarily placed in the intensive care ward, under constant watch by dical staff.

Thanks to Zhang Yantong’s connections, the ward was well-appointed; the room had only one bed and was surrounded by various instrunts, including a multifunction heart monitor system, a wireless teletry ECG monitoring system, a telephone transmission ECG monitoring system, an ECG machine…

you na it.

On the screen, all kinds of data fluctuated, data that probably only professionals would understand.

Li Ruo glanced at the screen and said, “Ye Chen’s blood pressure is low, and his heart rate is also slow.

Why aren’t they giving him a blood transfusion?”

“Oh, Director Qian said that if we transfused blood, it would increase the patient’s vascular pressure and strengthen his cardiopulmonary function.

The patient’s lungs are injured; if we made the lung lobes work at full force, it might lead to internal bleeding!” The nurse turned to look at Li Ruo and remarked, “Wow, Mr.

Li, you know dicine too?”

“Heh, I wouldn’t say I know it.

I just took so elective courses overseas, but that was more about understanding dical equipnt than anything else!” Li Ruo shook her head with a wry smile, watching Ye Chen, who lay on the bed with his eyes tightly closed and blood still on the corners of his mouth.

A pang of sorrow hit her.

Why did you have to do this?

Why did you have to block bullets with your flesh and blood?

Suddenly, Li Ruo’s mind flashed back to the first ti she t Ye Chen, when he had sneaked into the interview room.

She had asked him what he would do if the person he was hired to protect was in mortal danger.

Ye Chen’s answer at the ti seed to have deeply moved her.

He had looked up seriously and told her that he would defend his duties as a bodyguard with his life.

At that thought, Li Ruo’s nose tingled, and a tear ford in her eye.

This guy, why did he have to be so reckless?

Why couldn’t he cherish himself more?

What was he trying to prove?

“Mr.

Li!” Lin Ziwen pulled out a tissue from his pocket and offered it to her.

“Thank you!” Li Ruo nodded.

“Mr.

Li, don’t be sad now.

Ye Chen will surely have divine protection!” Stood behind Li Ruo, Lin Ziwen could feel her emotion.

Lin Ziwen was no less distressed about Ye Chen’s injuries.

Honestly, since Ye Chen joined the company, Lin Ziwen had taken a liking to this humorous and funny man.

For so reason, she enjoyed standing behind him, looking up at his silhouette, trusting her instinct that this man had stories to tell.

So, she hoped that the mont he turned around, he would notice her standing there.

But as ti passed, Ye Chen never seed to notice her.

“Let’s hope so!” Li Ruo nodded, “Let’s go back and let him rest and recover!”

“Okay!”

Li Ruo left with Lin Ziwen and the Tianya Group bodyguards.

Zhang Yantong stayed for a little while, giving Ye Chen a deep look before quickly getting up to leave.

Da Xia watched the expressions of Zhang Yantong, Li Ruo, and that Lin Ziwen very clearly, and he was imdiately dumbfounded, muttering to himself, “Big Brother, when did you get so charming?

It seems all three girls have taken a liking to you.

You’re in trouble now!”
