Chapter 127 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Chick

The hotel was only a few hundred meters from the hospital, so the girls got off the bus and took the elevator upstairs.

Lu Zhenyu: "So you mean, an assassin deliberately infiltrated the area to assassinate one of the award recipients tonight?"

Yaya nodded, "Yes, I heard he's Chinese, quite rich and powerful, and has always had a lot of enemies."

The elevator doors opened, and the girls helped each other out.

Lu Zhenyu knocked on the door next door when she went downstairs in the morning, thinking that if the neighbor was there, she could thank them in person, but no one was home.

I made a point of being extra careful when I went back this time.

Coincidentally, the door was wide open, so she told Yaya and the others to go back first, while she stopped at the door.

"A bunch of useless trash, all of you are fucking useless. I've told you so many times, we must be absolutely sure of everything. What have you done? You've been investigating for a whole week, why did you still give the assassin a chance to succeed!"

"I'm sorry, Captain Wang. We didn't think things through this time. The key issue is that the other side is too cunning."

"Still making excuses!" Wang Lin spat as he spoke. "How many times has this happened? The Shen family has spent so much money training you, and you've all been eating for free? You're only doing this because the Shen family is lucky; otherwise, you would have been riddled with bullets by now."

The subordinates glanced at each other, scratched their heads, and said, "Shen Hui knows that it's dangerous abroad, so why does he still insist on coming?"

Wang Lin paused, his face darkening, and kicked the man to the ground. "Who are you to meddle in your boss's affairs?"

At that moment, a knock sounded on the door.

Everyone looked up at the same time, and a long-haired fairy in a white halter dress appeared at the door.

Lu Zhenyu: "Hello, I'm from next door. I wanted to say hello to Mr. Shen. Is he here?"

Wang Lin, who was full of anger just a moment ago, suddenly became naive.

He forced back the reflexive "Madam," and stepped forward with a smile, "I'm sorry, Ms. Lu, our Chen Hui was injured and is currently in the hospital."

"Injured?" Lu Zhenyu asked in surprise. "What happened to him?"

Without a second thought, Wang Lin's expression turned serious, almost to the point of tears. "He was assassinated and is still in the hospital being treated."

Seeing the person's stunned expression, he added, "If you go now, you might still be able to see them."

In the hospital ward.

"What?"

Wang Kai, who was sitting by the bedside accompanying the patient, suddenly stood up.

Having lost too much blood, Shen Jingsi slightly lifted his weak eyelids, frowned, and glanced over, "What's wrong now?"

After hanging up the phone, Wang Kai swallowed hard, his eyes filled with displeasure. "Wang Lin said that your wife has come to visit you."

Shen Jingsi, "..."

Lu Zhenyu didn't know why she had inexplicably returned to the hospital, and even bought a bouquet of flowers at the entrance.

Following Wang Lin's instructions, they made their way to the tenth floor, the surgical department.

She knocked on the ward door and walked in, carrying flowers in her arms.

The ward was quiet. She walked lightly as the man turned to look at her.

When their eyes met, Lu Zhenyu remembered that she had just run into this person at the elevator entrance.

Wang Kai put away his phone and walked over, looking extremely serious. "Who are you looking for?"

"I heard Mr. Shen was shot and hospitalized, so I came to see him."

Her gaze bypassed the man and fell upon the empty hospital bed, the large bloodstains on the white sheets particularly glaring.

Lu Zhenyu couldn't help but frown.

Is he... still being resuscitated?

"The boss, he..." His eyes darted back and forth behind his glasses, but the other person's gaze was so focused that even the usually quick-witted Wang Kai, feeling a little guilty, suddenly had a mental block. "He..."

Her beautiful brows furrowed even deeper, and Lu Zhenyu stared intently at her, "Yes, what happened?"

Wang Kai immediately became serious, "The boss has already left... he just left."

"..."

Wang Kai's sincere gaze made Lu Zhenyu pause for a moment before she slowly pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry I'm late."

Looking again at the blood-soaked hospital bed, she let out a long sigh, then took out a stack of red bills from her wallet. "These are the flowers I sent him. This is some money. Please help me buy some wreaths or something to express my gratitude."

After saying that, she patted his shoulder regretfully, "Everyone has their own fate, Assistant Wang, please accept my condolences."

"No, no... that Ms. Lu..."

The girl walking away didn't turn back; she just waved.

Wang Kai stood there dumbfounded, looking at the flowers in his left hand and the money in his right, then looked up and met a pair of cold, sinister eyes.

His back trembled.

He licked his lips, embarrassed, "Sorry boss, I didn't expect that..."

"roll."

He was taken aback.

With a face that screamed "I want to kill," Shen Jingsi limped back to bed.

"I don't want to get angry with an idiot, get out of here."

How could he be considered a fool? It's obvious that his wife has misunderstood.

Wang Kai wanted to explain himself, but Shen Jingsi didn't even glance at him.

"Count the money in your hand."

Um?

He looked down and actually counted them.

"12345678...25?"

"Minus a zero, that's you."

Wang Kai: "..."

Let them scold us; after all, it was his fault for not handling things properly.

He walked over with his head hanging low. "Madam Hua bought this especially for you. Would you like to smell it?"

His gaze fell on the yellow roses. Shen Jingsi sat quietly for two seconds, then suddenly threw off the covers and got out of bed.

"Boss, where are you going?"

The person with mobility issues rushed out of the ward, ignoring the pain in their wound, and made their way through the crowd to the elevator.

"Lu Zhenyu!"

The elevator the girl was in shut down the second after the shout came.

Shen Jingsi rushed over and pressed the button, but it was too late to stop him.

If you press any other buttons, they won't be on this floor.

After all that trouble, I finally gave up.

Dragging his injured leg, he slumped into a bench by the window.

Wang Kai caught up with him, "Boss, what's wrong?"

The man sat there with his head in his hands. He had faced an assassin at the awards ceremony and was almost shot in the head. He had never felt this dejected when he was taken to the hospital.

"She knows."

What did you say?

Shen Jingsi seemed to be muttering to himself, "She recognized me, she guessed it."

Recalling that exact 2500, Wang Kai suddenly straightened up!

Did their wives recognize the boss?

How did you recognize me? Didn't my medical report this year say I have night blindness?

After leaving the hospital, the lone girl didn't take a taxi, but walked along the long street towards the hotel.

The man, head bowed in thought, walked on, then chuckled softly.

The phone in her pocket vibrated at that moment, and she took it out and put it directly to her ear.

"Sister Zhen Si, are you sure you want to book a flight back to China tonight?"

"It's settled, let's go with it. The wedding is next week, don't let it interfere with important matters."

After hanging up the phone, she stood there. The autumn evening was a bit chilly. Rubbing her exposed arms, Lu Zhenyu let out a long breath and smiled.

“Sinking into the capital, sinking into the meeting.”

A soft chuckle escaped her lips. She shook her head, stepped across the zebra crossing, and headed towards the airport.

“Mr. Chen, I asked the hotel, and they said that Madam checked out ten minutes ago.”

Seeing Shen Jingsi close his eyes on the hospital bed, Wang Kai licked his lips and lowered his voice, "Boss, I remember Madam said last night that she was planning to go back to China to attend Minister Shen's wedding, so why don't we go back too?"

On the other end of the phone, someone said, "I think it's a good idea. If I go back to China, my safety will be guaranteed. Should I apply for a private flight?"

He opened his tightly closed eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "I'll go back by myself."

Wang Kai was taken aback. Then, a voice came from the speaker, "Brother Kai, what will Chen say?"

Wang Kai didn't have time to pay attention to him. "Boss, why are you going back by yourself?"

He had actually guessed it, but his stubbornness resulted in him being met with a cold, sharp glare.

"I don't want to bring two idiots along and cause myself trouble."

Without saying a word, he threw off the covers, got out of bed, and left, leaning on his crutches.

That indifference and ruthlessness dealt a devastating blow to Wang Kai's heart.

A call came through the phone: "Brother Kai? What did Chen say?"

He said we were making things difficult for him.

"Huh?" Wang Lin, who had no idea what had happened at the hospital, was completely bewildered. "Why do you say that? What happened between us?"

He doesn't speak to people, and you have to ask him several times.

Wang Kai lost his patience, grabbed his phone and yelled, "What's wrong? What else could it be? He said you're stupid!"

Wang Lin: "..."

…

“Boss, you know I’ve been working for you since I graduated with my doctorate, almost ten years now. You’re like my second parents.”

"Yes, Shen Hui, you picked me up right after I graduated from police academy. It's been almost five years. You are my most respected mentor."

“We were really wrong. From now on, we will never act on our own when it comes to matters concerning you, Madam. If you tell us to go east, we will never go west or north.”

"I won't go anywhere in the east, west, south, north or south."

Fallen leaves lined the street, a chilly evening breeze rustled through the air, and the two brothers stood huddled together by the roadside, anxiously waiting for someone on the other end of the phone to relent.

After a moment of silence, the loudspeaker announced, "Team Leader Wang and Special Assistant Wang, we'll let you two swim back on your own."

"..."
