Jiang Zao said nonchalantly, "Then go ahead and issue an arrest warrant."

This complete "what's the use" attitude really left Rong Shi at a loss for what to do with her for a while.

Rong Shi had no choice but to temporarily abandon the topic, take out a cigarette, smell it under his nose, and then play with it in his hand.

“Arson is a serious crime,” he suddenly said.

Even though the house is registered under Zheng Xiao's name, it's still not acceptable.

Jiang Zao raised her chin towards Zheng Qi and said, "Go and tell him this. If he can't even protect Xiao Xiao in such a small matter, he shouldn't have the nerve to call himself Xiao Xiao's father."

Zheng Xiao spent 24 hours in the ICU, and Jiang had been with her for 24 hours already.

She neither ate nor drank, holding Zheng Xiao's hand tightly.

With tears in his eyes, he cheered her on.

"Xiaoxiao, I know you're tired, but you must wake up when you've had enough sleep, okay? Even if you lose the whole world, you still have me, I'll always be here for you."

She kept encouraging Zheng Xiao, starting from the day they met, hoping to use these memories to awaken Zheng Xiao's will to survive.

If my second chance at life requires you to give me your life, I would rather not have it.

Fu Yanci came by once in the middle of the trip, wanting to bring Jiang Zao some food, but Jiang Zao didn't want to talk to anyone except Zheng Xiao. She didn't even want to take her eyes off Zheng Xiao, afraid of missing something.

Leaving the intensive care unit, Fu Yanci saw Allen squatting in the stairwell smoking.

Allen is a non-smoker.

At the very least, this was the first time he had ever met him.

Fu Yanci glanced around, left Momo to keep watch, and walked over by himself.

Bang!

Allen was kicked straight down the stairs.

Allen didn't resist; he even stayed in that position, lying crookedly on the ground.

Fu Yanci walked downstairs, and for once, he swore: "Are you fucking stupid?"

Allen continued to lie there, seemingly lifeless.

Fu Yanci raised his foot as if to continue kicking.

Allen, who was afraid of pain, instinctively got up.

It's not that he's a coward.

Rather, he believed that Fu Yanci would really go all out and beat him to death.

Who told him to cause trouble?

Fu Yanci grabbed his collar and slammed him against the wall, demanding, "Didn't I say you could do whatever you want, just don't involve my wife!"

Allen's back was in terrible pain, but this wasn't the time to be dramatic.

He lowered his head, like a schoolboy who had made a mistake, muttering, "I never thought Zheng Xiao was so fragile, that she would actually commit suicide like this, and in such a way that she knew she had to die, I..."

A wave of guilt washed over him, and he didn't even dare to think about what would have happened to Zheng Xiao if Jiang Zao and the others had arrived a moment later.

He felt that he was the one who had harmed Zheng Xiao.

They cruelly ripped open someone else's already scabbed wound and rubbed salt into it.

He was wrong.

Having worked at the FBI for so many years and being praised as a prodigy, this was the first time he had made a mistake in his analysis and prediction.

"Alright, if you know you're wrong, try to make amends. But Allen, I'm warning you, if you involve my wife like this again, I'll never forgive you!"

After a pause, Fu Yanci glanced at Allen's face, which was swollen like a pig's head, and asked, "How did this happen?"

Allen shamelessly said, "Zheng Xiao beat him up."

Fu Yanci: "Serves you right."

Allen was unable to refute it.

He himself felt he deserved it.

Fu Yanci then asked, "How's the investigation going?"

Allen then remembered the important matter, "Oh, that fingerprint matched that of Jane, a very famous Asian female lawyer from ten years ago, which is..."

He looked up at Fu Yanci and said, "That is, your eldest sister."

Fu Yanci was not surprised by this answer.

The eldest sister was indeed alive.

Not only did he not die, he also returned to China.

But why won't you go home?

Why are you being so secretive when you come to see Mom?

"Could you check the security footage for me and see when my older sister appeared?"

After saying that, Fu Yanci walked out, with Momo following closely behind.

They went to the ward on Madam Fu's floor. The moment they stepped out of the elevator, Fu Yanci's expression was innocent and bewildered. He skipped out and greeted the nurses politely.

The nurses on this floor all knew about his condition and liked the adorable Third Master Fu very much.

May 16th.

Zheng Xiao's studio posted on Weibo: She is safe and sound, don't worry.

The accompanying picture shows Zheng Xiao sleeping peacefully in a hospital ward, bathed in warm sunlight.

[Damn, the studio finally did something decent. At least they're safe.]

It's rare to see Zheng Xiao looking so serene; she would be even more beautiful if she weren't wearing a hospital gown.

[That's it? You think you can just fob us off with four words?]

Yes, why was Zheng Xiao hospitalized? Was it really a suicide attempt? Why did she attempt suicide? Isn't her studio going to give an explanation?

[She was sexually exploited. Everyone knows how chaotic the entertainment industry is. How many of those actresses who rose to fame were truly quiet?]

[Are you kidding me? Who in the entire Chinese entertainment industry doesn't know that if Xiaoxiao doesn't do well, she'll have to go back and inherit the family fortune? Never heard of the Zheng family? Never heard of the Zheng Group?]

...

At the hospital, all the nourishing soup and delicious food that Fu Yanci brought to Jiang Zao ended up in Zheng Xiao's stomach.

She has been very well-behaved since she woke up.

They do whatever they're told, eat whatever they're told, and are very cooperative.

But she would vomit after eating, vomiting until her stomach cramped and she saw blood in her vomit. She would experience waves of pain and had to be given a sedative to stop, so she could return to being the Sleeping Beauty.
