Chapter 295 Things Aren't That Simple

After being rescued and given a blood transfusion, Su Xier was transferred to a VIP ward for further observation. Jiang Shiyuan stayed by her bedside without leaving her side, holding her scarred hand tightly, and stayed up all night.

"You've been working hard for a long time, take a rest." Fu Chenzhou walked to her side and handed her a glass of warm water.

"It's okay, I'm not tired," Jiang Shiyuan said hoarsely, refusing to take the water from him.

Fu Chenzhou pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and placed the water glass on the bedside table.

Although he really wanted to feed her the water mouth-to-mouth.

But that would really terrify her.

"That beast Shen Zhantang, is he still here?" Jiang Shiyuan asked in a cold voice.

"Yes. He's been standing outside the door the whole time." Fu Chenzhou took off his coat and draped it over her shoulders.

"nausea."

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were cold as knives, filled with hatred. "He doesn't deserve to stand here. I don't want Xi'er to see him when she wakes up and have her eyes sullied."

Fu Chenzhou looked at Su Xier, who was lying on the hospital bed on the verge of death, paused for a moment, and then spoke in a low voice:

“I had Xing Zhen investigate. Last night, a group fight broke out at the Nightclub on Tianhe Street. When the police arrived, the scene was extremely horrific, with blood everywhere and the injured lying haphazardly on the ground. Several people were seriously injured, and two of them are still in critical condition.”

Jiang Shiyuan suddenly looked up, staring in astonishment at the man's deep, peach-blossom eyes.

"The two groups fighting were: one was a henchman of the notorious underground gang Donglian in Beijing; the other was from the Shen Group."

Fu Chenzhou's gaze was intriguing. "Just now, Shen Zhantang's secretary, He Wei, was called in for questioning by the police. You should know how Miss Su got these injuries, right?"

"I know Donglian; it's a complete organized crime gang. They've only become more restrained in the past two years due to Beijing's crackdown on organized crime. How could the Shen family be involved with such a group?"

Jiang Shiyuan felt a chill run down her spine and her heart pounded. "So... Xi'er's injuries were inflicted by the people from Donglian?!"

Fu Chenzhou nodded seriously, "That's the only possibility."

"Shen Zhantang... he's a troublemaker who's good for nothing and good for making things worse! He's Xi'er's nemesis, her jinx!"

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were filled with tears of resentment. "I really don't understand... If he doesn't love Xi'er, why won't he let her go? Why does he do so many confusing things? If he does love her... why is he willing to throw her into dangerous situations time and time again? I can't understand... I just can't understand!"

“Miss Su is seriously injured and has lost her child. I think Mr. Shen’s grief is genuine.”

Fu Chenzhou paused, then spoke calmly, "So, I think he still loves her. It's just that this love has been influenced by too many external factors, and the unequal relationship between the two from the beginning has made it impossible for President Chen to face his feelings for Miss Su for the time being."

Or perhaps, he fell in love without realizing it.

"What do you mean by falling in love without realizing it... Love is love. To put it bluntly, isn't it just not enough love? The only person Shen Zhantang ever loved was himself."

Jiang Shiyuan said resolutely, "No matter what it takes, I will make sure Xi'er and Shen Zhantang are completely separated. There is no happiness to be found by that scoundrel's side, only shameful humiliation and endless danger!"

Fu Chenzhou remained silent.

After all, matters of the heart are the hardest to interfere with.

Even though they embraced each other, they ended up covered in wounds.

"President Fu... are you alright? You look a little pale. You should go back and rest. I've already notified Mengmeng to come over; we have enough people."

Jiang Shiyuan's eyes were glistening as she earnestly thanked Fu Chenzhou again, "Thank you so much this time. If it weren't for your help, Xi'er wouldn't have been able to escape danger."

I will definitely repay this kindness in the future.

Fu Chenzhou stared intently at her; her pretty and sincere little face was exactly the same as hers when she was a child.

The girl he once thought he could never reach in this lifetime is now so vividly in front of him, and she even says she wants to repay him.

His eyes glazed over for a moment, and even now he feels his thoughts drifting away, as if it's all unreal.

"President Fu? Are you alright?" Jiang Shiyuan waved her five fingers in front of him.

Fu Chenzhou's thoughts returned, his starry eyes slightly curved, the tenderness in his gaze so restrained:

"If Mr. Jiang wants to repay me, then he should manage Yongheng Technology well and get the company on the right track and profitable as soon as possible. Don't let me down."

Fu Chenzhou said something insincere, but with a smirk, "After all, I'm a ruthless capitalist. Making me money is the best reward you can give me."

"Okay, I will definitely try my best." Even though she was feeling extremely down at the moment, Jiang Shiyuan still managed to force a smile at Fu Chenzhou.

That faint smile touched Fu Chenzhou's heartstrings, and before he could blush, he quickly left the ward.

"President Fu." Xing Zhen immediately came forward, carrying breakfast prepared for Jiang Shiyuan.

Fu Chenzhou lowered his eyes. "Send her in as soon as possible, although she probably won't move."

Xing Zhen sighed, "People need food to survive, how can we keep going like this?"

"Where are Shen Zhantang and Xie Jinghuai? Did they go back?"

Xing Zhen couldn't help but sneer, "Just now, Xie Jinghuai received a call from Lin Zhixin. I don't know what kind of spell that woman cast this time, but he left in a hurry after the call."

It's really a shame he stayed here all night. I thought he'd had some kind of epiphany, but it turns out he's just blinded by greed. Mr. Shen went to answer the phone; he should be back in a bit.

Fu Chenzhou's face was ashen, and he narrowed his eyes slightly. "Let Xie Jinghuai do as he pleases. It's fine."

Previously, he hoped he could treat Jiang Shiyuan well, and now that he had married her, he hoped they would have a harmonious marriage.

But now.

He only hoped that Xie Jinghuai would remain infatuated and heartless forever.

"Ah Zhen, go and investigate thoroughly what happened last night."

Xing Zhen looked surprised. "President Fu, are you going to get involved? Forgive my bluntness, but President Shen will definitely not let Miss Su's matter rest. He will definitely handle it. This matter has nothing to do with you. If you get involved and provoke Donglian, wouldn't you just be making a mess of things? Let President Shen handle it. Why are you making trouble for yourself?"

"I don't believe Shen Zhantang. I don't believe he can completely resolve this matter."

Fu Chenzhou's eyes darkened. "If he doesn't handle it cleanly, Jiang Shiyuan won't give up and will take revenge for her good friend herself. That way, she'll get into trouble and expose herself to danger."

Therefore, I need to address this issue at its root.

Xing Zhen suddenly realized!

President Fu did all this to protect Miss Jiang; he really went to any lengths!

The shrewdness and cunning of a powerful figure are indeed beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"Moreover, I always felt that this matter was not so simple."

Fu Chenzhou, with his meticulous mind, sensed a hint of conspiracy. "Donglian and the Shen family have absolutely no connection, so why are they suddenly fighting at Nightfall? And the Shen family's people even went to Nightfall specifically to fight? Does Shen Zhantang have that much free time?"

Go and investigate, find out what caused their fight, and what exactly happened.

...

On the other side, in the dimly lit emergency exit of the hospital corridor.

Shen Zhantang leaned wearily against the wall. The once spirited man now hung his head and bent over in dejection, as if an invisible hand was pressing down on his spine.

"Ah Tang, where are you?!" came Madam Shen's anxious voice from the other end of the phone.

"What is it?" Shen Zhantang's voice was hoarse.

“I’m at the hospital with Yun’er right now, and your father is on his way here too! Yun’er told me everything that happened last night. Your sister was terrified; her eyes are all swollen from crying! Please come and see her quickly!”

In the past, no matter how important his own affairs were, Shen Zhantang would abandon them and rush to his sister's side without hesitation.

But at this moment, he refused without hesitation:

"I have something to do right now and can't go."

"You can't get through? What have you been doing that you can't get through?"

Madam Shen was furious. "Yun'er told me everything that happened last night! It was terrifying! You just left your sister at the hospital and ran away? You didn't even care? Yun'er was so scared last night that she didn't sleep a wink, do you know that?!"

Also, your father just called to ask me why you canceled the group meeting this morning. You also stood someone up for the scheduled project negotiation, and he kept calling you without answering! Your father is furious. You should come over right away, and think of a way to explain things to him on the way!

"I'll say it again, I can't go now." Shen Zhantang's voice was cold and hard. When his father was mentioned, his attitude became even worse and more impatient.

"Shen Zhantang! Is this how you talk to your mother?!"

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"etc!"

Madam Shen was at her wits' end with her eldest son and could only ask helplessly, "When can you come over? Yun'er keeps asking to see you. You love her the most, how can you bear to see her crying like this? You should at least come and comfort your sister!"

Shen Zhantang took a deep breath and finally compromised:

"I'll go back tonight."

...

Su Xier remained unconscious, and Shen Zhantang naturally wanted to stay by her side, but he had many other things to do.

After Secretary He was summoned by the police, the legal department of Shen's Group arrived quickly and bailed her out.

After leaving the police station, Secretary He immediately got into Shen Zhantang's car.

"Mr. Shen, that Donglian henchman is being held in the basement of the villa in the western suburbs. I'll take you there now!"

Soon, the luxury car arrived at the villa in the western suburbs.

In the dark, damp basement infested with rats, one of Donglian's henchmen was bound hand and foot, beaten bloody and hanging in mid-air, looking like a red sausage from a distance.

Shen Zhantang walked up to him, his pale face in the darkness conveying a fierce and cold expression, like a handsome demon.

"Gao Sheng, did you touch my woman?"

"No...no..."

The man's mouth was full of blood, and he could barely speak. "Young Master... touched Miss Su's stomach... Miss Su broke Young Master's wrist..."

Miss Su... is highly skilled... Young Master... failed...

Did she break that beast's hand just because he touched her stomach?

Shen Zhantang's face showed no emotion, but his blood was surging through his veins.

After a while, he felt a warm, wet sensation on his cheeks.

Before I knew it, tears were streaming down my face.
