Chapter 247 You're Missing

Liang Jishen took the towel and knocked on the stone table, "Feet."

He Sang didn't move.

He said in a more serious tone, "Hurry up."

"I'm willing to bleed." She stood up and limped into the house.

Liang Jishen grabbed her and pressed her down on the stone bench. "My patience is limited. Lift your foot."

She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Will you make it in time to catch the high-speed train?"

The man laughed angrily, "If you don't dawdle, you'll be in time."

He Sang's right leg was resting on the table. The bricks and stones were cold, and she gasped. Liang Jishen was tense, "Does it hurt?"

He squatted down and pinched her ankle. His little toe rubbed a small piece of skin, and blood squeezed out of the snow-white flesh. He gently covered it.

She was too easily hurt, with her thin skin and tender flesh. She was not a delicate person by nature, but she looked delicate, especially after she followed him. She was like a flower in a greenhouse, being picked up and dropped off by cars, and rarely even walking. Apart from the hardships she suffered during rehearsals in the theater, she could not withstand any bumps or bruises in life.

"Why are you running?"

"I want to hold you..."

"Didn't you cuddle enough in bed?" Liang Jishen wiped her carefully, deliberately teasing her, "I'm tired of cuddle."

He Sang ignored his bad words and looked at him, "Where is that white hair on the back of your head?"

"Pull it out."

He originally asked her to pull it out, but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so in the end he pulled it out himself while looking in the mirror.

The Liang family has good genes, and their hair is black and strong, but Liang Jishen is only in his thirties, and he already has some white hair. He Sang's heart ached, and he grabbed his wrist, "You always stay up late to work overtime. In a few more years, you'll become an old man."

"You'll become an old man sooner or later." Liang Jishen didn't care. "You'll become an old woman too."

He Sang's heart ached even more. "I won't let you change."

He laughed. Zhou Kun said that female actors are sentimental and their love experience is like a roller coaster. He didn't believe it, but now he does. He coaxes her from time to time, and maybe she will cry at some point.

"You cry too often, it's worthless." Liang Jishen stroked her eyes and wiped away her tears. "If you cry once a year, I'll give you whatever you want. If you cry once a month, I'll think about it before giving it to you. If you cry once a week, I won't give you anything you want."

He Sang burst into laughter, hugged his neck and kissed him. The man moved quickly and blocked her nostrils. The wet bubbles stuck to her fingertips. When she inhaled, the bubbles deflated again and did not come out.

Liang Jishen looked at her with a sinister look, "I've learned my lesson."

She was particularly annoying, burying her head in his neck and sniffing greedily. Cheng Xun had no choice but to urge her, "Mr. Liang, Director Gu asked you to come over at noon. He can't get through to the Municipal Bureau."

The man patted her on the back and said, “I should go now.

He Sang reluctantly let go of him, "Let's go..."

Liang Ji kissed her face deeply and said, "Ask Sister Rong to help you apply the medicine."

She lowered her eyes and looked very well behaved.

Cheng Xun opened the car door, and Liang Jishen bent down to get in. He Sang eagerly walked him to the door, and then walked him out of the big iron gate, waving at him through the fence, "Remember to buy medicine. The cut on your chest hasn't healed yet, so don't get wet when you take a shower."

Liang Jishen sensed something was wrong with her. When he was at work, she was always sensible and wouldn't be so clingy and waste his time. He rolled down the car window and asked, "Are you feeling unwell?"

She shook her head.

"Having a nightmare?"

He Sang hesitated and nodded, "I dreamed that I was lost and you disappeared."

A smile filled his eyes, "Silly, go back."

The car drove out of Yishan Manor and disappeared on the wide asphalt road. The crabapple trees on the roadside slowly withered, and the sunlight between the leaves covered the top of her head. He Sang's eyelids were stinging and dry. She covered her eyes with her hands and shrugged her shoulders for a long time.

Sister Rong took He Sang to the guest room to apply medicine. Liang Jing drove into the courtyard, turned off the engine quietly, and drove straight to the second floor.

In the master bedroom, Liang Yanzhang was receiving an IV drip. Doctor Bai came to greet Liang Jing, "Secretary Liang."

"How's the condition?"

"The treatment was timely, but it did hurt a lot."

Liang Jing walked to the bedside and looked down at Liang Yanzhang, whose complexion was pale and blue. "Do you need to go to the hospital?"

He reached out and grabbed Liang Jing's sleeve, "Let's go to the hospital."

Liang Yanzhang was a very strong-willed person. He ruled over such a huge group that the slightest mistake could result in a loss of hundreds of millions. Therefore, he kept quiet about minor illnesses and disasters and hired a private doctor to treat him at home. He would not be hospitalized unless he was obviously unwell and could not bear it. Once he was hospitalized, it would definitely alert the Liang Group and the outside world.

Doctor Bai was very tactful and left with the excuse of going to the square hall to get medicine.

Liang Yanzhang forced himself to sit up, "Liang Jing, someone is trying to harm me in the old house."

Liang Jing frowned, "Who hurt you?"

"I don't know." He pointed to the drawer. "I didn't feel well yesterday, so I took blood pressure medication right away. My blood pressure didn't come under control, so there's a high probability that the medication was switched."

Liang Jing took out the medicine bottle from the drawer and unscrewed the capsule shell. Inside was brown powder. "Is that so?"

"I've never opened the medicine during these years."

"You can ask a doctor to do some tests." Liang Jing poured it into his palm and smelled the bitter and pungent smell.

"Doctor Bai was hired by Wen Ji."

Liang Jing paused and looked at him, "You suspect her."

"No, I'm not suspicious of her, I'm suspicious of Ji Xilan." Liang Yanzhang was very secretive. "Ji Xilan and I signed a divorce agreement, but we haven't obtained a marriage certificate. Legally, we're still husband and wife. If she doesn't want to divorce, or wants to inherit most of the Liang family's property, she has reason to harm me."

Liang Jing weighed the medicine bottle and pondered for a moment, "She doesn't dare."

"The third brother has such a bad temper, and there's no way to control her. She's much braver than you think." Liang Yanzhang panted rapidly, "She's still Madam Liang. She knows I didn't make a will, so she's the first in line to inherit."

Liang Jing's face was solemn. "Don't you suspect the second wife?"

Liang Yanzhang denied it without hesitation. "Wenji didn't even fight for custody back then. She was determined to leave the Liang family and be free. I was the one who offered her the compensation, but she'd rather leave with nothing. The second son is filial, and she doesn't need money at all. Why would she want to harm me? What if the truth comes out, and the second son can't take over the Liang Group? Wouldn't that be more trouble than it's worth?"

Liang Jing didn't comment, only saying, "I'll arrange it."

When He Sang was tidying up the living room, Liang Jing came down from the second floor, dressed in a very formal suit. The three sons of the Liang family were masters of suits, and they looked good in any style or color.

He'd recently been caught up in a storm. A billion-yuan project was a collaboration between Hebei Province and another province. Since the bidding process had been eliminated, the contract was awarded entirely to a designated group from above. Real estate developers were using all their connections and connections, creating fierce competition. Losers felt the pressure was on, with anonymous reports being made. Winners of the first round faced second and third rounds of screening, setting up traps and exposing each other's secrets. After all, one less competitor meant a better chance of success.

Liang Jing's office received more than 20 letters of complaint, including one alleging that the Liang Group used its connections to grab the quota, and the other alleging that China Overseas Group abused its power for personal gain.

Zhonghai and Zhongsheng are the main judges, and there are two nominations that go directly to the final review. The Zhonghai Committee did nominate the Liang Group, but Liang Jishen abstained. It was the other eight committee members who voted unanimously in favor of it, and it had nothing to do with him.

Liang Jing investigated and reported the matter to the provincial government. Zhonghai Group also released a video of the voting process, confirming that all procedures were in compliance with regulations. This action offended a real estate tycoon in Hebei Province, who hired someone to paint the walls of Liang Jing's office building, accusing him of shielding the Liang family and giving his own family a green light.

The office building is located in an old site and has fallen into disrepair. There is a traffic camera only 900 meters away, and the paint was applied late at night. The wall is a blind spot for the guard post, and the security guard on duty did not find anyone causing trouble, so the matter was left unresolved.

Old Zhang was worried that Liang Jing would feel depressed, so he gave him three days off. However, Liang Jing was calm and took advantage of the holiday to return to Wanxi County to supervise the county leaders in the resettlement of left-behind women. Although the conditions were difficult and the schedule was busy, he was energetic and dignified.

"Brother, have you had breakfast?"

"I've eaten." Liang Jing unbuttoned his suit, his eyes glancing at the cloth in He Sang's hand. "Are you doing housework?"
