75

Dongzhou Military Region Hospital.

After confirming that Ye Rong and Shen Yanqing were not in danger of life, Jin Lin and everyone at NSI breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yanqing had a slight concussion and a broken ankle. The surgery was very successful and there will be no sequelae in the future. Ye Rong was hit on the back and almost her entire back was bruised. Fortunately, she had taken Narcissus, and her body's self-healing ability was far superior to others. After taking the medicine, the bruises were not as shocking as at the beginning.

Everyone knows that the survival rate of people in an avalanche is extremely low. If it weren't for Tian Shuibi's protection, there is no guarantee that both of them would survive even if they were rescued in time.

Last night, after receiving the report from the field team members, the Minister called General Lu and then dispatched military aircraft and personnel nearby to rescue them.

Both of them are in good condition now. Shen Yanqing was not too weak when he was pushed out of the operating room. His assistant and secretary rushed over. After dawn, Shen Yanqing ate something and now he can sit up and handle company affairs.

As for Ye Rong, except for the back pain that made her sleep uneasy at the beginning, she slept soundly after taking painkillers.

Jin Lin sat in front of Ye Rong's bed and calculated the time. She thought she should be waking up soon, so she got up and asked her colleague who was guarding the door to buy some food.

The smell of disinfectant was floating in the air. Ye Rong woke up and saw a strange ceiling and low voices at the door. Ye Rong looked over and saw Sister Lin.

She wanted to get up, but found that her back still hurt a little and she couldn't use any strength.

Jin Lin turned around and saw that she had woken up. She quickly came to her and supported her shoulders to help her sit up. "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Ye Rong shook her head and asked, "How is Shen Yanqing?"

"He woke up earlier than you and is not idle at this moment." Jin Lin smiled, "Chen Yanqing's ward is next to yours. The guards at the door are on duty 24 hours a day, so don't worry."

Ye Rong nodded, this was indeed reassuring.

Today is the last day of the countdown to the republic. With the country's comprehensive protection, there is no danger.

Thinking about the sudden avalanche last night and the fact that the president specifically suggested that she complete the task within a month, Ye Rong knew that the most deadly danger was last night.

If Tian Shuibi hadn't protected her master, she and Shen Yanqing would have been in real danger at that time.

"Also, we didn't find your phone until after daybreak. We sent it to the technical department because it couldn't be turned on. We found that the phone was not damaged and it couldn't be turned on because of the low temperature." Jin Lin told her, "Your phone will be delivered later."

"Yeah." Ye Rong vaguely felt that even if she lost her phone, she would not break away from the system unless she truly completed the mission. The threat of death had never been far away from her.

Ye Rong thought that after the mission was completely completed, she must change her cell phone!

Maybe because she had a good sleep last night, Ye Rong felt in great shape. Thanks to her body's recovery ability, the pain in her back was not so obvious after she sat for a while.

She got up and tried it, and it wasn't a big problem.

Ye Rong simply washed up and saw the nurse and doctor coming.

The female nurse said gently: "Ye Rong, let's check your back."

"Okay." Ye Rong sat on the bed.

The nurse and doctor saw that the bruises on her back had basically melted away. After one night, although she had not fully recovered, the bruises that were shocking in the movie last night had become visibly lighter. This girl's recovery ability is too strong.

Although it is surprising, it is undoubtedly a good thing.

No one knew what the background of this girl and the man next door was, but even the dean was very concerned about them. The most noteworthy thing was the bodyguards who guarded the two wards at the door like an iron barrel. They were more like guards than bodyguards, and their aura and quality were definitely not that of ordinary bodyguards.

Although they were curious about the identities of these two good-looking men and women, they knew it was better not to know. In addition, military hospitals often have patients with special identities, so they were not overly curious.

After the nurse applied the medicine, Ye Rong walked for a while in her hospital gown, and then Sister Lin brought her breakfast.

"Eat something first."

"Okay." Ye Rong sat down.

The breakfast was light and delicious, and it suited her appetite. After finishing her meal, Ye Rong asked Jin Lin, "Can I go next door to see Shen Yanqing?"

Jin Lin nodded: "Of course I can."

The indoor heating was sufficient and she didn't feel cold, so Jin Lin still gave her a thin coat.

Ye Rong walked to the next door and saw Shen Yanqing, also in hospital gown. He looked in good spirits, reading a document and signing at the end. His foot in a plaster cast did not affect his working state.

Ye Rong stopped at the door, and just as she was thinking about whether to knock on the door to signal, the man who was reading the documents with his head down raised his head and looked in her direction.

Ye Rong paused.

Those eyes with a bit of double eyelids always look special no matter when you look at them. When he lowers his eyes, his pupils are slightly hidden, giving people a sense of dignity and coldness, as if he is unapproachable. But when he raises his eyes, the inward-curved and outward-curved tails of his eyes extend outwards, and his peaceful gaze gives people the illusion of being indulged.

The two extremes are opposite, and he is the one in both.

The only slight difference from the past is that even though he is lying on the hospital bed, he does not give people the same lifeless and dying feeling as before.

It's calm and peaceful.

This thing that happened to Shen Yanqing was also a miracle.

It's like spring coming in late winter, with invisible new green suddenly sprouting from the rotten branches.

Maybe that touch of fresh green was just an illusion caused by blurred vision, but at least there was a glimmer of hope.

This was already a great surprise for Ye Rong.

Seeing her standing at the door and looking at him without coming in, Shen Yanqing spoke up: "What are you doing standing at the door? Come in."

"Okay." Ye Rong's eyes curved, she was wearing a hospital gown but she didn't look like a patient at all.

As I got closer, I saw that his forehead was wrapped in gauze, with his hair hanging down casually. He didn't look ugly, but rather had the feeling of a battle-damaged beauty. His overly superior face looked a little more broken.

Seeing him looking down at the documents in his hand again, Ye Rong said softly, "Did I disturb you?"

Hearing her use honorifics obediently again, Shen Yanqing looked up at her and said, "There are several documents that urgently need my signature. Wait a moment."

"Yeah." Ye Rong nodded obediently.

She sat quietly, glancing at Shen Yanqing from time to time. She had to say that a serious man was indeed attractive, not to mention that he possessed such qualities and talents and was a natural helmsman.

But in just ten minutes, Shen Yanqing handed the documents in his hand to the assistant who was waiting next to him, and then looked at her: "Are you okay with your injury?"

"It's okay. The doctors and nurses said that I recovered very well. The fever has subsided and the blood clots have mostly dispersed. I don't need to be hospitalized at all. The doctor still asked me to stay for two days for observation." Ye Rong looked at him, her eyes fell on his ankle, "You may have to stay in the hospital for a few days, and you have to take good care of your injuries afterwards."

"Yeah." Shen Yanqing nodded. The attending doctors had told him about this themselves. After he woke up, he asked his secretary to go next door to check on her condition. When he learned that someone was taking care of her in the ward, he asked his secretary to come.

"If you are discharged from the hospital first, I will send someone to pick you up first."

Hearing Chen Yanqing asking for her opinion, Ye Rong blinked and smiled: "I want to stay here with you, let's go together later."

Shen Yanqing glanced at her for a few times, his eyes sliding across her wrist, and he said "hmm" softly.

When the rescue was in progress last night, Shen Yanqing didn't know what happened, he took off the light blue ribbon she had tied around his ankle and put it in his suit pocket.

At that time, I just thought that she usually cherished the ribbon and always carried it with her, and I didn't want her to lose it, so I put it away.

He had asked his secretary to send the suit and ribbon to the dry cleaners that morning, and he was just waiting to return them to her after they were delivered.

Shen Yanqing wanted to buy her a new one, but then he remembered that she looked at the ribbon several times without just looking at it, especially when she was nervous, she would touch it unconsciously. This ribbon seemed to have some special meaning to her. Thinking of this, Shen Yanqing didn't bring it up.

Ye Rong sat with him for a while and talked with him for a while. Now she was relaxed in front of Shen Yanqing, not as cautious as before. In addition, Shen Yanqing had experience and could talk about any topic. He also consciously or unconsciously accommodated the topic, so the atmosphere of the chat was very pleasant.

This kind of time was not boring at all. It was not until noon that Ye Rong returned to his own ward.

Later she saw Jinlin seemed to be waiting for her.

Ye Rong walked over: "Sister Lin, are you waiting for me?"

"Sit down." Jin Lin motioned for her to sit down, then took out the phone that her colleague had just given her and pushed it in front of her: "It was just given to me, take a look."

Ye Rong took it and the phone seemed to have no damage at all, looking brand new.

Later, she opened the system by herself and found that Shen Yanqing's favorability had soared to a surprising value.

"We guess it has something to do with last night." Jin Lin smiled, "But I think you would prefer the countdown now, right?"

"Yeah." Although Ye Rong was not surprised by the surge in favorability, she paid more attention to the red countdown next to Shen Yanqing's card, especially since today was the last day.

Jin Lin said in a soothing tone: "The reason why he was sent to the military hospital was also for this consideration, so don't worry too much, we are watching Shen Yanqing."

Yes.

This is a military hospital, which is very safe to some extent. There are guards at the door for 24-hour protection. She still believes in the country's capabilities.

After realizing this, Ye Rong felt relieved.

But after that night, she just couldn't fall asleep. Jin Lin urged her several times, but after realizing that she was worried about something, she stopped urging her.

Ye Rong just listened to the pointer ticking by, and waited listlessly until the early morning. She suddenly became alert and couldn't wait to open the system interface. When she saw that the number in the red inverted triangle symbol next to Chen Yanqing's card had really disappeared, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Only at this time did Ye Rong feel the reality that the [33 days] countdown of the previous plan had truly passed, which meant that Shen Yanqing would no longer face the irresistible threat of death.

The ending of Shen Yanqing's death in the book has changed, which means his future has also changed.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood and in good condition, the blood clots on Ye Rong's back healed in just two days, and he could run and jump without any pain.

The doctors and nurses were amazed at her recovery and allowed her to be discharged from the hospital.

After completing the discharge procedures, Ye Rong did not leave, but went to Shen Yanqing's ward. His injuries had recovered well, and his spirits were good. In fact, most of the time, he did not give people the feeling of being a patient at all.

Just like that, Ye Rong stayed with him for a few days, and Shen Yanqing was able to be discharged from the hospital.

The day he was discharged from the hospital, the sun came out outside, a rare occurrence.

Shen Yanqing was sitting in a wheelchair, not looking weak at all. The feeling was no different from sitting in a chair in front of a desk. He was wearing a well-ironed suit and had a graceful demeanor. This might be the calmness of a big boss.

In the sunlight, his whole body seemed to be filled with a hint of warmth.

Ye Rong was pleasantly surprised by the subtle changes in him. She couldn't help but frown and said, "The weather is really nice today."

Seeing her happy look, Shen Yanqing's mouth corners also curved slightly. It was not a routine smile in front of others, but it seemed that he was simply infected by the good mood of the little girl next to him.

A tiny seed was left at some point in the land where the grass and trees were rotting. The seed would have rotted along with the surroundings, but unexpectedly it broke its shell, and a tiny bit of life was given to this place.

Ye Rong stood in the sunshine, in a good mood.

That night, subtle changes occurred in Chen Yanqing.

Shen Yanqing's experience and shrewdness are there. Judging from his style of doing things all along, he is not someone who can be easily swayed and influenced by others. Ye Rongyu has long known this.

Therefore, if Ye Rong was the only one who wanted to make such a change, she would definitely not be able to do it.

It is a Tibetan mansion.

The bodyguard did not leave, and protected Shen Yanqing's personal safety as usual.

And Shen Yanqing, as usual, didn't pay much attention to them.

Shen Yanqing had just arrived for a while when his assistant came over. He said something and turned to look at Ye Rong: "Take me to the study."

Ye Rong nodded and pushed his wheelchair to send him to the study.

Seeing that he was indeed very busy, Ye Rong did not dissuade him, but only said: "The doctor said that you need to take good care of yourself, remember not to work too hard."

"I know, it's just a video conference." Shen Yanqing nodded and watched her leave.

Ye Rong even considerately closed the study door for him before leaving.

In this way, Shen Yanqing stayed at home while recuperating from his injuries and working, and Ye Rong was still the same as before, no, she was even more free and relaxed than before.

She played games and watched TV series, and even the variety of food in the Jiuzang Mansion had increased. Her life was so comfortable that she almost forgot that she was still on a mission.

A few days later in the evening, Ye Rong met an unexpected visitor.

Ye Rong didn't expect that Old Lady Shen would come to visit the patient. There was no news at all during the hospitalization. Moreover, Old Lady Shen's feelings for Shen Yanqing could not be said to be unsatisfactory. She felt that the feeling was more like a mixture between disgust and fear.

Ye Rong stood up and greeted her gracefully, "Hello, Madam Shen."

Old Madam Shen glanced at her and nodded indifferently, as cold as ever. Ye Rong didn't care at all.

At this time, the maid who was going to pass the message to Shen Yanqing came down and said, "Mr. Shen is in the study, please follow me."

Wei Yunshu went upstairs and took her to the study.

In the study, Shen Yanqing sat in a wheelchair with a thin blanket covering her knees. When he looked at her, there was no change in her expression, she looked graceful.

Wei Yunshu sat down and said to Shen Yanqing: "You seem to have recovered well."

Shen Yanqing did not respond, not because she hated or was disgusted by the person in front of her and her son, but because she was simply annoyed.

He had been torturing the Shen family all along, not out of pure hatred or a desire to avenge his mother, but because he subconsciously hated his own birth and the source of all this, which was the Shen family.

Going back, the Shen family has a lot of blood left by incest, so there are few normal people in the Shen family. I don't know how many dirty and filthy things are hidden under this magnificent and luxurious mansion.

For a long time after his mother committed suicide, he dreamed about her death all night long. That scene was like a nail driven deep into his soul, grinding against him over and over again, leaving him no peace.

The scene in the dream was the Yuzang Mansion covered with snow.

Shen Yanqing had long realized that even if all the Shen family members died, that poor woman would not come, and even if she came, she would not be happy about it. Because this place was no different from hell for her, and these people in the Shen family were living evil spirits.

That period was really painful for Shen Yanqing, but he was not a coward and wanted to end his life. After all, he was not the one who deserved to die.

So, he thought, since those people made his life uneasy, he couldn't let them live too comfortably. However, he didn't expect those people to be so useless and go crazy so quickly.

The one who persisted the longest was the old lady with gray hair and chicken skin in front of me.

She had lost her power because of him. She had witnessed the Shen family members going crazy or running away. She had also witnessed her own son living like a mad animal without any dignity as a human being... Now, it seemed that she could not hold on any longer.

He made a last-ditch effort, trying to find a breakthrough from the little girl. He is really getting old.

Shen Yanqing glanced at her, tapping the wheelchair armrest with his index finger, and said, "I can give you a choice, let you live your old age abroad with your son."

Wei Yunshu was about to refuse, but Shen Yanqing smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "Please think about it before you answer."

Wei Yunshu's face twitched, and her chest rose and fell slightly because of suppressed anger. The eyes looking at her were calm and cold, and there was a condescending look that seemed to see through everything.

Wei Yunshu was shocked and angry. She looked at this monster and said in a hoarse voice, "Chen Duo is your biological father and I am your biological grandmother. Do you really have to force us to this point?"

Hearing this, Shen Yanqing kept smiling: "When you allowed your own son to rape, defile, imprison, and torture his own sister, why didn't you remember your status as an elder?"
