Chapter 140 That person appeared again

Shen Shuang made up her mind.

Since we can't go to Zhao Mobai, we should at least go to Zhu Jin's side.

In a hospital, it's always a place that leads to the outside world.

Without hesitation, Shen Shuangmiao immediately contacted the family doctor who remained on the island, firmly requesting to return to the hospital.

When the family doctor refused, she said she felt unwell and needed to go back to the hospital for a checkup.

The doctor dared not neglect the matter, after all, Shen Shuangmiao's complexion was indeed not good.

Zhu Jin had instructed that all of Shen Shuangmiao's reasonable requests be met.

The doctor had no choice but to contact Zhu Jin, who quickly brought back news.

"Mr. Zhu has agreed. The helicopter has been arranged and will depart in half an hour."

He agreed.

Shen Shuangmiao breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately set off for the hospital.

Upon arriving at the location, she immediately found Zhu Jin's hospital room and pushed the door open to go inside.

Zhu Jin leaned against the headboard, looking very weak, staring at the constantly changing stock market data on his tablet, his expression indifferent.

It's as if those numbers concerning his life and fortune have nothing to do with him.

"Zhu Jin!"

Shen Shuangmiao, slightly out of breath, said, "You're still here looking at this? Zhao Mobai is about to swallow your entire company whole, what about the Zhu family? Are you just going to stand by and watch?"

Zhu Jin slowly raised his head, looked at her silently for a few seconds, and then suddenly spoke, his voice low: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Are you worried about me?

Shen Shuangmiao was taken aback by his question and swallowed back the words of urging.

She suddenly realized that if admitting it would make Zhu Jin feel better, he wouldn't be sitting here waiting to die.

Shen Shuangmiao avoided his gaze, her chest heaving a few times, and nodded in acknowledgment, "Yes! I'm worried about you. I don't want to see you lose everything. Are you satisfied with this answer?"

She expected to see a mocking or complicated expression from Zhu Jin, but to her surprise, the corner of Zhu Jin's mouth twitched slightly.

His smile was faint and fleeting.

"Don't worry."

Zhu Jin withdrew his gaze and looked back at the tablet, his tone calm, "I was prepared to throw these away a long time ago."

Shen Shuangmiao was stunned: "What?"

"I know better than Zhao Mobai what will happen to the company."

Zhu Jin said calmly, "I made arrangements in advance and transferred enough assets under Grandpa's name for him to enjoy his old age. He won't be unable to survive."

He had made arrangements for his affairs after his death, and even thought about how his family would manage to get out of trouble.

Shen Shuangmiao's heart sank, her voice trembling without her even realizing it: "And what about you? What have you prepared for yourself?"

Zhu Jin paused slightly, without looking up or answering.

Shen Shuangmiao began to panic.

"What about you? Zhu Jin, say something." She couldn't help but step forward and press him, "You've never told me what you're going to do a month from now, or what your plans are for the future."

"Let's go back."

Zhu Jin finally raised his head, his eyes resolute, "What happens here is none of your business anymore."

"I'm not going back!"

Shen Shuangmiao stood stubbornly in place, "Unless you tell me your plans, unless you start fighting back!"

Just as the two were at an impasse, there was a gentle knock on the ward door.

Someone pushed the door open and came in, their expression somewhat grave.

He glanced at Shen Shuangmiao, then whispered to Zhu Jin, "Mr. Li has arrived and requests to see you."

Mr. Li?

Shen Shuangmiao's heart skipped a beat, and she instantly remembered the man wearing an employee badge with the letter M outside the villa on the island.

She heard Zhu Jin call him by the surname Li.

Zhu Jin frowned slightly, then said to Shen Shuangmiao, "You go back first."

Shen Shuangmiao didn't say anything.

She gave Zhu Jin a deep look, then turned and walked out of the ward without saying a word.

Shen Shuangmiao did not leave; instead, she hid in a corner outside the ward, holding her breath.

A short while later, a man with his head down quickly walked into the ward, led by a staff member.

The door was closed gently.

Shen Shuangmiao sneaked closer, but couldn't hear anything, so she gave up.

Her heart was racing, and her mind was racing with all sorts of wild thoughts.

Who exactly is this man? What does he want with Zhu Jin?

This is definitely unusual at this critical juncture.

Shen Shuangmiao felt like every second was an eternity outside the door. The conversation inside was being conducted in hushed tones, and she couldn't hear anything clearly.

About ten minutes later, the ward door opened again.

The man came out, still as unassuming as when he arrived, and quickly walked towards the other end of the corridor.

Without further hesitation, Shen Shuangmiao stepped out of her hiding place, chased after him in a few steps, and stopped him at the corner of the corridor.

"stop!"

The other person paused, looked up, and revealed an ordinary face.

Upon seeing that it was her, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Miss, is there anything I can help you with?"

Shen Shuangmiao stared directly into his eyes, narrowed her gaze, and questioned, "Who are you? What exactly are you doing for Zhu Jin, meeting him time and time again?"

She spoke forcefully, insisting that the other person answer.

The man's eyes flickered, his lips moved slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.

Shen Shuangmiao's heart was in her throat.

Pressuring them for answers seems unlikely to work; it might even alert them.

The coldness on Shen Shuangmiao's face slowly disappeared.

She stepped aside, her voice tinged with weariness.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you. This is your business."

After she finished speaking, she stopped looking at the man, turned around and made as if to walk towards the ward, giving up on asking further questions.

The man seemed relieved, nodded slightly, and hurried toward the hospital exit.

Shen Shuang cleverly used the corner of her eye to watch him. When she saw him turn the corner at the end of the corridor, she immediately turned around and entered the emergency exit next to him, taking a shortcut to catch up with him.

She needed to know where he was going and what kind of place he was from.

At the hospital entrance.

The man flagged down a taxi.

Shen Shuangmiao didn't dare to delay and immediately hailed another car, nodding to the driver and saying, "Follow that taxi in front, please hurry, don't lose it!"

The driver agreed and stepped on the gas.

The taxis kept weaving in and out of traffic before finally stopping at the side of a street.

The building was plain white, with no eye-catching commercial signs at the entrance, but two bodyguards in black suits stood there.

The two men looked around warily.

After getting out of the car, the man walked straight toward the building.

One of the bodyguards at the door seemed to recognize him, nodded slightly, and stepped aside to let him in.

Shen Shuangmiao instructed the driver to stop at a distance.

She paid the fare and got out of the car, hiding behind a big tree on the street corner, her heart pounding.

This place is very depressing.

She felt inexplicably uneasy, staring intently at the tightly closed door, where she saw a line of small characters.

【Peaceful Service】

What kind of weird name is this?

It sounds like a place that provides end-of-life care.

Shen Shuangmiao was deep in thought when another bodyguard at the door seemed to notice the commotion at the street corner and suddenly looked over.

She froze in fright, immediately lowered her head, turned around, and quickly left.

Shen Shuangmiao dared not stay any longer, fearing she would be discovered.

She was in a state of turmoil and hailed a taxi to return directly to the hospital, her mind racing with thoughts the entire way.

Shen Shuangmiao had just arrived at the hospital entrance when she saw her family doctor.
