"Thank you," she said sincerely.
"You're welcome," Ye Feng said naturally.
A strange light flashed in Sun Shangxiang's eyes. "I won't let Lao Liu get away with this, and I won't let Liu Jianli cause you any more trouble."
Ye Feng looked at her with pity in his eyes: "Just focus on getting better during this time. Don't worry about anything else. We'll talk about it after you've recovered."
His words surprised Sun Shangxiang.
She thought he would say something comforting and encouraging, but instead he told her not to worry about anything.
She felt once again that this man was truly different.
“From now on, you can call me sister,” Sun Shangxiang said after a moment’s hesitation.
Ye Feng laughed, "No way, you don't even look as old as me, it would be a loss for me to call you 'sister'."
Sun Shangxiang was amused by him and scolded, "You have such a sweet tongue."
Seeing her rare smile, Ye Feng smiled too, "Smile more, it'll help you recover faster."
"Laugh? A woman like me, past her prime, who will appreciate her?" Sun Shangxiang laughed self-deprecatingly, her tone full of bitterness.
Ye Feng looked at her, a hint of heartache flashing in his eyes: "Who said that? I'm admiring her."
Sun Shangxiang's smile froze. Ye Feng's words left her momentarily speechless.
Ye Feng realized that his words might have caused a misunderstanding and was about to explain when Sun Shangxiang waved her hand.
"No need to explain, I understand."
He looked at her, hesitant to speak. Then, glancing at the time, Ye Feng stood up to leave: "You get some rest, I'm going now."
"Wait a minute," Sun Shangxiang called out to him.
Ye Feng turned around and saw a pleading look in her eyes. He walked to the bedside. "What's wrong?"
"I need to go to the restroom," Sun Shangxiang said softly.
Ye Feng didn't say much, and helped her to the restroom.
When she returned, Sun Shangxiang leaned against the headboard, her face somewhat pale.
"Will you come again tomorrow?" She looked at Ye Feng, her eyes filled with expectation.
Ye Feng thought for a moment, "I'll come over if I have time. If you need anything, you can contact my friend, she's a doctor here, Yang Yunqing."
He wrote down Yang Yunqing's phone number and handed it to her.
Sun Shangxiang took the note and clutched it tightly in her hand: "Okay."
Ye Feng left the ward.
After he left, Sun Shangxiang dialed a number saved as "Relief".
"Old Liu's matter can begin." Her tone was icy, completely different from before.
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Data."
"I've already sent it to you." Sun Shangxiang hung up the phone, a ruthless glint in her eyes. This information was a backup plan she had prepared long ago.
After leaving the hospital, Ye Feng drove to a karaoke bar.
Wang Furong was wiping glasses at the bar when she saw him come in. She smiled and teased, "Hey, bro, what brings you here today?"
Ye Feng sat down opposite her. "Come relax a bit."
Wang Furong poured him a cup of tea and placed it in front of him: "Looks like you're in a good mood today, little brother."
Wang Furong poured Ye Feng a cup of tea.
"Tell me, you didn't come to see your sister today just to catch up, did you?" Wang Furong put down the teapot, her shrewd eyes fixed on Ye Feng.
Ye Feng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said, "There's really nothing wrong, I just came to see you."
Wang Furong chuckled, disbelieving his words: "Come on, you, Boss Ye, are so busy, would you come to my little temple to burn incense for no reason? Just say what you need to say, why are you hiding things from me?"
Ye Feng put down his teacup. "How's business lately?"
Wang Furong sighed, "Don't even mention it. Ever since Feng Xiaoqian's incident, the whole place has been in chaos."
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow slightly. "Feng Xiaoqian? What happened to him?"
"What else could happen? He was arrested by the police for allegedly organizing others to commit crimes." Wang Furong's tone was full of schadenfreude.
Ye Feng's heart skipped a beat. Feng Xiaoqian's accident was no small matter.
He leaned forward slightly. "What's the situation with security?"
Wang Furong rubbed her temples. "What could be going on? Several of Feng Xiaoqian's close associates who used to live a life of luxury have also been taken away, supposedly to assist with an investigation. The accountant from the finance department was also taken away. Now the entire nightclub is in a state of panic, everyone is afraid they'll be next."
Ye Feng's mind raced as he quickly analyzed the current situation.
Before Wang Furong took over, Feng Xiaoqian must have done a lot of shady things. The entire security department probably got a lot of kickbacks, and there were even some shady dealings that Wang Furong was unaware of.
He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "It seems that Feng Xiaoqian, this malignant tumor, had already sown the seeds of disaster long ago."
Wang Furong looked worried. "That's right, how are we going to clean up this mess?"
"It depends on how you plan to handle this," Ye Feng said, placing the teacup back on the table.
Wang Furong gave him a deep look. "What do you mean? Is there any room for negotiation on this?"
"Of course." Ye Feng said calmly, "Although Feng Xiaoqian's kidnapping of Yang Yunqing was a spur-of-the-moment decision, it is directly related to him. Whether the matter escalates or not depends on Yang Yunqing's attitude."
Wang Furong frowned. "Will it work?"
Ye Feng smiled, a playful glint in his eyes. "It all depends on what you think. If you still want to use Feng Xiaoqian, I can help you talk to Yang Yunqing."
Wang Furong fell silent.
She had only recently taken over the nightclub and didn't yet understand many of the ins and outs, and her relationship with Feng Xiaoqian had become strained during this time.
After Feng Xiaoqian went in, she initially wanted to ask Ye Feng for help because he was reliable and capable.
But seeing that Ye Feng seemed unwilling to get involved, she didn't press the matter further.
Ye Feng didn't urge her, quietly sipping his tea and waiting for Wang Furong's reply.
He knew that Wang Furong was a smart person and would make the choice that was most beneficial to her.
Wang Furong pondered, quickly weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
Ye Feng put down his teacup, breaking the silence, "Of course, if you don't want to use Feng Xiaoqian anymore, then you'd better sever ties as soon as possible."
"I really have no idea, Xiaofeng, please think of something." Wang Furong looked exhausted.
Ye Feng looked at her and sighed.
Although Wang Furong is shrewd and capable, she has not been running a nightclub for long, so she inevitably panicked when faced with such a tricky situation.
"Sister Furong, have you ever thought about letting Feng Xiaoqian stay?" Ye Feng paused, observing Wang Furong's reaction. "Although he made a mistake this time, he's not entirely useless. Having some ambition is better than those mediocre good-for-nothings."
Wang Furong paused for a moment, then fell into deep thought.
She understood Ye Feng's meaning. Feng Xiaoqian did indeed have some abilities, and if she could control him well, he might become a great help to her.
Ye Feng did not urge her, but simply waited quietly for her reply.
Wang Furong raised her head, her eyes filled with hesitation, "But, will Yang Yunqing agree to a settlement?"
