Chapter 319 Leave me with one hand, I don't need anything else.

The scene in the ward was frozen in time.

The person standing with their back to the door was not Wen Lingxue, but a man.

He was short and thin, and when he turned to look at Ji Ying, his face was taut.

"Ji Ying!" Shen Ruofu reacted first, her tone sharp, "Didn't your mother teach you to knock before entering the house?"

Although Ji Ying realized that she had acted rashly this time, she knew that she had to be assertive when dealing with a dog like Shen Ruofu.

"Knock on the door because someone lives inside; if it's a beast living inside, why knock?"

Shen Ruofu felt a pang of pain in her chest from her words, "What do you want to do by barging into my hospital room in the middle of the night?"

Ji Ying walked in casually, giving her a cold smile, "Nothing much, do you need to time your beating up an animal?"

Shen Ruofu was speechless, her face turning deathly pale.

Just then, Xu Zhaoheng's gentle yet delighted voice came from the doorway, "Yingying, what brings you here?"

Ji Ying turned her head and saw that he was holding a plate of cut fruit.

She narrowed her eyes, her voice devoid of emotion, "Coming to take care of her so late, what a responsible fiancé."

Xu Zhaoheng knew the two women didn't get along, so she walked in with a smile and explained, "Mr. Chen and I were having a late-night snack nearby when we mentioned that Ruofu was hospitalized here, so Mr. Chen came over to visit her."

He then became the introducer.

"Oh right, I haven't introduced you yet. This is Mr. Chen Yousheng, the third son of Jinshangda, a leading biotechnology company in Southeast Asia. We are currently in contact, and Mr. Chen is very likely to become a partner of Huansheng Biotechnology."

Ji Ying glanced at Chen Yousheng but didn't intend to greet him.

Xu Zhaoheng's gaze remained fixed on Ji Ying, never once glancing at Chen Ruofu.

"Yingying, you've lost some weight in the past few days, but you look alright. How are your eyes? Are they better?" he asked.

Shen Ruofu, lying on the hospital bed, immediately frowned.

Just then, Liang Yizhi appeared at the door of the ward and overheard Xu Zhaoheng's words of concern.

"My wife is fine, thank you for your concern, Mr. Xu."

As he spoke, he entered the ward, naturally put his arm around Ji Ying's waist, and even gently pressed his fingertips against her waist.

Ji Ying was ticklish, so she immediately shrank into his arms.

Liang Yizhi curled his lips into a smile.

Their actions, unknown to others, naturally led people to believe that they had a very good relationship.

Xu Zhaoheng was embarrassed for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "So Mr. Liang is here too."

Liang Yizhi stopped talking to him and turned his gaze to Chen Yousheng.

Just as Xu Zhaoheng was about to introduce them again, Chen Yousheng nodded to Liang Yizhi, "Mr. Liang, we meet again."

Liang Yizhi nodded, his voice very calm, "Nice to meet you."

Chen Yousheng smiled and said, "Your wife is truly extraordinary."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi merely smiled faintly, his eyes carrying an unmistakable arrogance. "My wife, Liang Yizhi's wife, naturally possesses extraordinary vision and abilities. Your Southeast Asia is quite large; President Chen should travel and explore more."

Chen Yousheng was not angry at his words, but smiled at Xu Zhaoheng and said, "Then I will have to trouble President Xu to show me around Beijing and broaden my horizons."

Xu Zhaoheng nodded with a smile.

Liang Yizhi ignored them and asked Ji Ying, "Shall we go home?"

"Okay." Ji Ying leaned against him.

"Then I won't bother you any longer, farewell."

Liang Yizhi put his arm around Ji Ying and left the ward, without giving Shen Ruofu a single glance from beginning to end.

Shen Ruofu's chest ached again; it was from anger.

She was violated by Pang Xiao and lost her uterus. She suffered so much and was definitely a victim, but this group of people only cared about Ji Ying.

Why!

...

Ji Ying sat in the passenger seat, breathed on her hands to warm them, and then rubbed them together.

Liang Yizhi fastened her seatbelt and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"

Ji Ying looked at him, "You know Chen Yousheng?"

Liang Yizhi started the car, saying, "We've met once."

He didn't say where they met.

“He makes me feel very uncomfortable, I don’t like him,” Ji Ying said.

Especially his eyes, there was a sense of déjà vu about them.

“Then I’ll investigate him,” Liang Yizhi said.

Ji Ying pursed her lips. "Wen Lingxue should be here tonight. Something must be wrong."

The car stopped at the traffic light, and Liang Yizhi reached out and patted her head. "Don't rush, it's right to be suspicious. Let's take it slow."

Ji Ying felt much calmer after hearing his words.

When she calmed down, she realized that the man's brow was slightly furrowed when he was driving.

Is something bothering you?

Liang Yizhi smiled at her words, "I'm happy as long as you're happy."

Since he didn't say anything, Ji Ying didn't press him for details.

The next day, Jiang Ran delivered Chen Yousheng's information.

"So little?" Ji Ying was surprised.

Jiang Ran nodded. "The Chen family in Nanyang does have a third son named Chen Yousheng, but he has been frail and sickly since childhood and has never appeared in public, so there is no photo of him. His father recently died suddenly, and the brothers are fighting amongst themselves. That's why he was pushed out to work and take charge of the business in China. In fact, it means kicking him out of the game."

Ji Ying skimmed through the documents, then pushed them aside.

After a moment of contemplation, he shook his head.

“I have a feeling that Wen Lingxue is back. She is the strategist behind Shen Ruofu.”

What happened last night remained a mystery to her.

Ji Ying composed herself and looked at Jiang Ran, "Is everything alright with my husband?"

Jiang Ran paused for a moment, "No, it's just that after getting rid of Pang Xiao, although Old Master Pang didn't say anything on the surface, he will definitely retaliate. Is Mr. Liang busy with this?"

No wonder he couldn't concentrate on sleeping last night.

Ji Ying lowered her eyes. "Keep an eye on his movements."

Jiang Ran, "..."

That evening, Liang Yizhi messaged her saying he would be back late.

Ji Ying replied with an "okay" and didn't ask anything else.

Liang Yizhi stared at the words for a while before putting down his phone and heading into the Cardinals' Arts Club building.

Yue Zheng called out to him, still worried, "Sir, are we really not supposed to prepare anything?"

Liang Yizhi chuckled, "Pang Xiao is dead. Old Master Pang must get over this. If it's not too much, I'll just suffer a little."

He was well aware that Pang Daiyao had invited him here tonight as a trap.

Eliminating Pang Xiao would indeed have alerted the enemy. The only way to keep that old fox from feeling like he was in control is for him to stay near the trap and gradually walk into their net.

The top floor of the club.

Grandpa Pang is brewing tea.

This time, however, the tea being brewed is not ordinary.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Liang Yizhi smelled a strong jasmine fragrance.

He calmly stepped out of the elevator, his voice barely audible, "The old man likes this kind of strongly flavored tea?"

Pang Daiyao ignored him and made himself a cup of tea.

"As people get older, their noses become more delicate, and they can't stand even the slightest smell of blood. Fortunately, the aroma of this tea is rich enough to cover up any unwanted smells."

Liang Yizhi sat down opposite him with a relaxed expression, without saying a word.

“Yizhi,” Pang Daiyao’s shrewd eyes finally fixed on him, “I promoted you before and know your abilities. But my Pang family lost a member right under my nose. You know the rules, so leave one hand; I don’t want anything else.”
