Chapter 27
He raised his eyebrows calmly and looked back without blinking, as if accepting the challenge. At this time, Su He moved and leaned back on the neck pillow.
The loose hair fell down and rested on his eyelashes, covering half of his eyes. His eyes became more and more blurred, as if he was looking very intently, but also as if he was not looking at anything.
Sheng Jinyu had never been looked at in this way before. He didn't care at first, waiting for the other party to notice his displeasure, realize how offensive it was to stare at others, and look away.
But as time passed, those eyes still looked at him confidently, and there seemed to be some incomprehensible emotions in their eyes.
Sheng Jinyu didn't expect that he would be the first to look away.
He felt bored and didn't want to talk to anyone.
But the person in the passenger seat had no idea that the person in the back seat was so immersed in his inner thoughts. The strands of hair on Su He's forehead pricked his eyes, making them feel a little itchy.
He suddenly came out of his daze, raised his hand to tidy up his bangs, and lifted a clean forehead.
When Sheng Jinyu looked back again, the eyes in the rearview mirror had disappeared.
He had been sitting up straight with his forehead supported, but for no reason he felt disappointed. Just as he was about to look away, his brows suddenly tightened.
Sheng Jin and Leng Leng stared at a certain spot in the rearview mirror, and their expressions suddenly changed.
At the same time, the driver's voice came: "Master, there's something wrong with the car behind us. I'm speeding up to get away from them. Please be careful."
Su He's heart skipped a beat and he looked out the window at the rearview mirror. Behind the bodyguard car that was following the Cayenne, there were two unfamiliar off-road vehicles lined up in a row, blocking the two-lane road.
There is a thousand-foot cliff on the left side of this road and a solid rock cliff on the right side. Going left or right is a dead end!
The pursuers appeared at this time, probably they were out to kill me!
Before he could see clearly, something unexpected happened.
There was a loud crash from behind the car. The two off-road vehicles crashed the rear car blocking the center of the road into the cliff. The rear car slammed on the brakes to stop one of the vehicles. An unclear report came from the intercom on the center console.
In an instant, Sheng Jinyu shouted sternly, "Get down!"
Su He's scalp tingled. Although he didn't understand the situation, he obediently lay forward. From the corner of his eye, he saw Sheng Jinyu jump half of his body out from the center control position and throw something hard at his head.
Su He's eyes went dark and he was stunned for a moment. When he touched the smooth surface of the fabric, he found that it was a coat.
The next second, there was a loud bang——
What followed was the sound of glass shattering, and all the windows on the passenger side exploded!
One of the pursuing off-road vehicles passed the obstruction of the rear vehicle and slammed directly into the side of the Cayenne. The original intention was to knock the Cayenne off the cliff, but the driver turned the steering wheel at the right time and the whole car was pushed onto the cliff covered with sharp stone spikes.
The car window on one side was instantly shattered, and the friction between the wall and the high-speed car produced intense sparks.
The flying glass shards were like sharp weapons. If it weren't for the coat, Su He, who was closest to the right window, would have had his throat cut directly by the broken glass.
Su He pulled off his clothes and found that the driver's head was bleeding and his consciousness was becoming drowsy. He picked up a tissue and pressed it on the driver's head, looking at Sheng Jinyu: "What should we do? Do you want me to drive?"
Sheng Jinyu said without hesitation: "Hold the steering wheel."
Su He immediately did as he was told and gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Sheng Jinyu directly grabbed the driver and used brute force to drag him into the back seat, placing him at the foot of the seat where it was safer.
Without the person pressing the accelerator, the car's speed slowly decreased. He turned over and jumped into the driver's seat, took the signal transmitter on the central control and threw it into Su He's hand: "No need to adjust the frequency, just call for help."
After Sheng Jinyu took the steering wheel, the car body shook violently and began to accelerate.
Su He was thrown back against the seat by a strong push and heard Sheng Jinyu ask, "Hold on to the handrail, aren't you carsick?"
"I," Su He shook his head miserably and lied, "I'm not dizzy."
He didn't have time to dwell on this, so he quickly grabbed the handrail and studied the machine, explaining the situation to it. The other side responded almost immediately, quickly locating the vehicle and sending support.
Sheng Jinyu took the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The Cayenne showed its excellent performance and the engine sound immediately resounded throughout the valley.
In just a dozen seconds, it left the off-road vehicle behind it far behind.
There are many bends on the winding mountain road. If the car is driving too fast, braking and drifting are almost required at every bend. Sheng Jin's coordination with his limbs is extremely smooth, with no unnecessary movements at all, and he drives on the winding mountain road with the momentum of a professional track.
However, ordinary vehicles do not have wrapping safety devices, and Su He was almost thrown to pieces by inertia. He held on to the handrails tightly to barely stabilize himself, and his internal organs seemed to have shifted in an instant.
He barely glanced at the control panel and was shocked by the speed of nearly 180 miles per hour...
How could he almost forget that the person next to him is a genius with cars!
Soon, the SUV chasing behind completely disappeared from the rearview mirror.
After driving out of the mountain road section, Sheng Jinyu calmly adjusted the gear quickly. The intersection ahead was about to enter the highway section, and other vehicles began to appear, so he slowed down.
At this time, several Mercedes-Benz cars of the same model rushed out from the intersection of the auxiliary road on one side, with two in the front and two in the back protecting the Cayenne in the middle.
After running wildly for a minute, it slowly stopped by the roadside.
"Get off and change cars." Sheng Jin and Chao Suhe said briefly.
He unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car, ordering the unconscious driver in the back seat and the people in the rear car to be sent to the hospital.
In the passenger seat, Su He's face was pale, and the tips of his five fingers that were holding the top armrest were white. He was still in shock. He took a deep breath, pushed the door and got out of the car. The moment his feet touched the ground, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
He thought, at an inopportune moment, that it was truly terrifying to sit in the passenger seat with Sheng Jinyu.
Several bodyguards surrounded them and protected the two men as they changed cars under the cover of night.
Su He felt dizzy and was a bit slower than Sheng Jinyu, but at this moment something flashed in his eyes.
Su He turned his head to look over. His eyes were much more sensitive to light than others. He instantly noticed a car without headlights in the dark, with the license plate reflecting a faint light.
Like an evil ghost lurking in the darkness, it was charging towards Sheng Jin and accelerating in front of it!
"Sheng Jinyu!"
The moment Sheng Jinyu Yingsheng turned around, Su He suddenly bumped into him and pushed him into the grass beside the road. The ground was covered with stones and branches. The two of them entangled and rolled twice before stopping.
A strong smell of blood suddenly filled the air, and it seemed as if there was something under Sheng Jinyu's head.
He turned over and saw Su He's soft shoulder.
He turned Su He over slowly with a stern face, his pupils dilated instantly.
Su He groaned in pain and wanted to raise his hand to touch it, but he heard a dull voice: "Don't move."
"But, I... feel a little pain."
"I know. It'll be fine."
In his chaotic consciousness, Su He felt someone picking him up. The pain tore at his nerves, and he slowly lost consciousness in the bumpy embrace.
Severe motion sickness and blood loss were the main reasons for Su He's coma. A broken branch in the grass pierced Su He's shoulder from behind. The branch didn't penetrate deep, but the wood stump caused the wound to bleed continuously.
When the doctor finished treating Su He's wound, he had not yet woken up and was lying quietly on the hospital bed.
Sheng Jinyu stood beside the bed, looking down at him. The person on the bed was wrapped in bandages from back to shoulder sockets, with braces clamped on his fair, bare ankles. He looked even worse than himself who had been in a car accident some time ago.
Fortunately, the doctor said that Su He's shoulder condition was not serious and there was no inflammation, so it would heal naturally. He just couldn't walk for a few days due to his sprained ankle.
Sheng Jin held the CT film of Su He's footsteps in his hand and listened to the doctor discussing the condition.
He looked at the delicate white bones on the black film, a thin section that looked as if it could be easily broken.
Seeing him engrossed in his examination, the doctor said, "The patient may be somewhat calcium deficient. His bone tissue is a bit loose. If he doesn't pay attention to calcium supplementation and exercise, he will suffer in his old age!"
Sheng Jinyu rarely needed to be humble in front of others. He nodded silently, as if he was humbly accepting the instruction. It was unclear whether he had really remembered it.
Finally, the doctor decided to have Su He hospitalized for a period of time.
When Assistant Fang entered the room, he saw Sheng Jinyu standing there without saying a word, staring at the person on the bed in a daze.
He called out softly, "Master, the people chasing the car have been controlled. Look..."
"Let's talk outside." Sheng Jinyu raised his hand and said.
Fang Cheng nodded and was about to leave when he heard Sheng Jinyu say something that sounded like a sigh and a question: "Would someone risk their life to gain trust?"
Special Assistant Fang didn't dare to speak easily. He understood what Sheng Jinyu was talking about. The man on the hospital bed chose to take action when his life was at stake, but he was Chairman Sheng's man after all.
They are destined to be in opposition, but no one can be sure whether Su He was sincere or calculating when he decided to save people, or maybe both.
"Human hearts are complicated, young master." He just said that.
Sheng Jinyu's face showed no emotion, and he nodded after a while: "You are right."
It only took one night for Assistant Fang to come back with the news.
Because Sheng Jinyu stole the show at the dinner party, some people in the Sheng family finally couldn't wait to take action. These people didn't even think about hiding. Sima Zhao's intention was known to everyone, and he just wanted Sheng Jinyu to "die accidentally."
A car accident a few months ago didn't kill him, and now he tried the same trick again, but still failed. Sheng Jinyu was so ashamed for his third uncle's family.
During the time Su He was in the hospital, Sheng Jinyu waved his hand and said that he should be considerate of his subordinates, so he gave Su He a short vacation so that he could rest and recuperate without having to worry about anything else.
Special Assistant Fang no longer reported Sheng Jinyu's itinerary to Su He, and instead started to make his own arrangements.
In addition to being busy with Zhisen's project these days, Sheng Jinyu also has to use his brain to fight with that group of people. He is very tired both physically and mentally, and has been so busy that he has no time to rest in the past few days.
Originally, when Su He was not around, his ears were much quieter and no one was nagging him about anything.
He should have felt relieved, but it seemed that he wasn't.
Fang Te couldn't live at home, so no matter how meticulous and considerate he was, it was impossible for him to take care of every aspect of his life. In addition, before Su He appeared, Sheng Jinyu didn't need a maid to take care of his life, and he never asked anyone to do his eating and dressing for him. Sister Ling would not do these things for him without his instructions.
The person who always matched his clothes and served him meals was away. Sheng Jinyu looked at the dazzling array of clothes in his wardrobe and found none of them pleasing to the eye. Even when he went out, no one chased him to give him mosquito repellent patches...
It was obvious that the decision to give Su He a holiday was made by Sheng Jin and himself, but in the end, he began to question his decision.
Even if some things are not noticed, they gradually deteriorate silently and undergo changes that cannot be ignored.
A few days later, Sheng Jinyu attended a symposium and listened absent-mindedly, turning the pen in his hand around and around.
The nurse sent Su He's hospital photos and medical report on time. Special Assistant Fang showed them to him. Sheng Jinyu lowered his eyes and looked at the person in the photo on the phone. He ate obediently and changed the dressing obediently. Everything was going on in order.
It seemed that without him around, Su He seemed to be more at ease, his big white teeth shining brightly when he smiled.
He watched for a while, then turned his attention back to the meeting, feeling even more bored.
The Dahongpao was brewed to the right strength, and the documents at hand were neatly arranged. However, when he was thirsty, he raised his hand but found nothing. No one seemed to know what he was thinking, and handed the teacup to him at the right time and asked if he liked it.
Sheng Jinyu raised his head with a frown.
The assistant who was temporarily taking over looked very nervous, wondering if he had made any mistakes.
Assistant Fang saw this and understood what was going on. He asked on behalf of the assistant, "Master, are you thirsty?"
Upon hearing this, the assistant immediately handed over the teacup. Sheng Jinyu paused for a moment, then took it and suddenly asked, "How is his injury?"
Assistant Fang gestured to the confused assistant to step back and answered, "Mr. Su's shoulder injury has recovered well and there's no inflammation. His foot injury is almost healed as well. Should we call him back?"
"Need not."
Sheng Jinyu refused without thinking. After all, the man was injured while protecting him. He was not a ruthless landlord. He still had some magnanimity.
But Assistant Fang heard him say something in Guangzhou dialect, a rare rant, "Maybe I didn't give him any time off. He's already gone crazy after just a few days. He didn't even bother to call."
Assistant Fang laughed, but didn't dare to say much and just smiled along.
After a while, the assistant trembled and whispered to Fang Cheng, "Assistant Fang, am I being too inconsiderate? Is President Sheng angry?"
Fang Cheng was helpless. He smiled and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "It's okay, the young master doesn't have so many rules. He just..."
"Just what?" the assistant asked curiously.
I was just spoiled by someone...
*
Su He had a moment of free time because of his injuries. Special Assistant Fang conveyed Sheng Jinyu's intention to him, asking him to rest and recuperate in the hospital.
He had no reason to refuse, so he was taken care of by the nurse and stayed in the ward for nearly a week.
The servants of Xiaoxie Garden brought him various food supplements as instructed. The nurses supervised him to eat each meal at regular times and in regular amounts. After each meal, he had to bask in the sun by the window for at least half an hour. After all this, he was overnourished and had nosebleeds for three days.
The nurse found out and got very angry. The nursing staff was caught in the middle and it was difficult for them to do their job. They tactfully told Assistant Fang, who then reported it to the higher-ups. Only then did the situation come to an end.
Su He had difficulty walking and seldom walked. He could not engage in the entertainment activities that ordinary young people like, such as playing games, chatting and surfing the Internet. His eyes could not support facing the electronic screen for a long time, so he asked the caregiver to help buy paper and pen to pick up his unfinished story.
It happened that the temporary editor of the website contacted him and a publishing house came to inquire whether he was willing to publish.
Due to the high popularity of the article and the extremely considerable copyright fees, Su He really returned to his old business and became even more prosperous than before.
The two parties agreed on the contract and price, and Su He went from being a freelance writer to a struggling worker.
In order to keep up with the publishing progress, he has been working hard these days, writing and revising, and he can wear out a pen in two days.
Su He's writing habit is that he often has rich inspiration at night, but he can't catch it. It's like water flowing through his fingertips, and can never be found again.
So often at night, after the nurse finished her rounds and left, Su He would secretly set up the small table, bury his head in the lamp and write until late at night.
When Shao Fei came that day, he didn't notice that a certain young master was one step behind him.
After he entered, Sheng Jinyu stood at the door, looking into the house through the narrow glass, his expression gloomy and unclear.
In the room, Shao Fei was holding a bouquet of flowers and dropped them on the table. He looked relaxed and didn't seem like someone who came to visit a patient. He brought the process documents such as the donation notarization to Su He to see.
Su He took it and caught a glimpse of the bouquet he had thrown on the bedside table. There were albizzia and roses in it, all wilted, probably from the dead branches and leaves just picked up from the garden downstairs. Only a few lilies looked a little fresh, and the mixture had a decadent artistic feel.
"No need to look at it, I just picked it up. An old man downstairs was discharged from the hospital, and his family left the lilies there. I'm too lazy to buy you another bunch." Shao Fei sat on the sofa with his hands in his pockets, looking disdainful.
Su He smiled, his eyes curved: "Picking flowers should be more troublesome than buying them. Thank you, they are very beautiful."
Shao Fei didn't expect that Su He would smile like this. He felt a little uncomfortable: "I say, have you been hit so hard that you are mentally ill? Shouldn't you scold me?"
He glanced at the obvious dark circles under Su He's eyes, as if he had exhausted all his energy and spirit. He slapped his thigh and said, "You really are depressed, right? Look at your dark circles, they're almost down to your chin!"
"Is it obvious?" Su He raised his hand and touched his face blankly, feeling a little guilty.
If the nurse on rounds saw this, she might scold him again.
"It's so obvious! And what about that package at the company? The secretary signed for it and said it was from you, but when I opened it, it turned out to be a golf club!"
This is a brand that Shao Fei has been eyeing for a long time, and he doesn't know where Su He found out about it.
"It was my withdrawal midway that affected the cooperation. I don't know much about football, but the secretary said you like it. I wonder if you are comfortable using that brand?" Su He said.
Although he was not the one who had the conflict with Shao Fei, Su He asked himself whether it was his appearance that affected Shao Fei's business, and he bought the gift to apologize.
Shao Fei was stunned, his face showing a lot of expressions, neither fierce nor smiling, his facial features were frozen and he was at a loss.
He had long been fed up with this person from the Su family, but he was a man of loyalty and rules, and would never be the first to break up. He was just waiting for Su He to do something immoral, and then he would break up with him as a matter of course.
After waiting for a long time, he didn't expect that Su He would be the first to break up. Not only did this man become more kind, he even tried to please him and apologized to him?
"Well, it's okay." Shao Fei said angrily.
Su He looked at the notarized document carefully, but found that his name was not the only donor. Shao Fei actually decided to donate his share of the funds together with his.
He looked up at the other party. Shao Fei touched his nose and tilted his head: "Why, you are the only one allowed to do charity, but I am not allowed to be kind? I tell you, you'd better get better soon, otherwise the notarization will be postponed again. I don't have that much time to waste with you..."
Su He smiled knowingly, knowing that Shao Fei was probably still too embarrassed to ease the relationship with him, so he finished reading quickly while Shao Fei was muttering.
He could see that Shao Fei was different from many of the people he had met in the past few months. He was just a firecracker with his mouth, but he was still soft-hearted.
He came to this world without knowing anyone. All in all, Shao Fei was the first friend who cared about him. Even though he couldn't help but dislike him for being unreliable, Shao Fei still helped him clean up the mess.
Su He quickly confirmed the details with him. When he was about to get out of bed, Shao Fei blocked his way with his arm, his eyes questioning him: "Can you get out of bed with your legs like this?"
The brace on his sprained ankle had been removed, but the strap was still on, making it difficult for him to walk. Su He had no choice but to ask Shao Fei, "I want to go to the bathroom. Can you help me there?"
"Why not?"
Shao Fei lifted him up without saying a word. The two men were about the same height, but Shao Fei was stronger than him. After supporting him and walking for two steps, he felt that the slow pace was really troublesome.
"It'll take you forever to get there at this speed. I can just carry you over." He bent down and was about to hug Su He.
Su He was startled by his enthusiasm and waved his hands to refuse: "No, no, I can do it myself."
"Do you think I can't hold you?"
Shao Fei was anxious. He hated it most when people judged him by his appearance and thought he was skinny and weak. He was eager to prove his muscles, so he pulled up his shirt sleeves to show off his well-defined biceps.
He is actually quite handsome, with long hair. As expected of being born into an entertainment family, he has an artistic temperament. He is not as good-looking as Su He, but his facial features are more handsome than his, and when he shows his muscles, he has a youthful beauty.
"Just look at these muscles. How could I not be able to hold you? Do you look down on me?"
Su He couldn't resist and couldn't stand Shao Fei's growing courage. The two of them were entangled together. To outsiders, it looked like they were pulling and tugging at each other.
With a bang, the ward door bounced against the wall.
Su He was standing facing the gate and immediately saw Sheng Jinyu standing at the door with a gloomy face. Somehow, he felt that he had a strong aura.
A wonderful atmosphere was created in the room.
Sheng Jinyu looked him up from head to toe, his eyes not missing any corner, and then glanced at Shao Fei's hand on his waist, and said indifferently: "Are there guests? It seems that I came at an inopportune time."
"Sheng Jinyu!?"
Shao Fei obviously knew him. He glanced between Su He and Sheng Jinyu, then looked at Su He in astonishment: "Why is he here? Do you know him?"
Speaking of which, Shao Fei and Sheng Jinyu can be considered old acquaintances who grew up together. It is very normal for these children from aristocratic families to know each other. They both attended the same middle school, were members of the same rugby team, and their two businesses have always had frequent dealings.
But even so, Shao Fei and Sheng Jinyu's tempers don't get along well, and they don't communicate much.
Sheng Jinyu didn't even look at him and interrupted, "He is my subordinate."
"So you are working for the Sheng family now!" Shao Fei leaned close to Su He and whispered something, and Su He pursed his lips and nodded.
Shao Fei turned to Sheng Jinyu openly and said, "I'm here to visit the patient as well. I'm Su He's... uh, friend."
He originally wanted to say that they were partners, but then he thought that they had already broken up, so Shao Fei changed his words temporarily.
But this pause is extremely interesting. It can have many different meanings to others, depending on how they want to guess.
Sheng Jinyu walked over slowly, his mood unpredictable. He looked at Shao Fei calmly and said, "Oh, my friend. Mr. Shao has friends all over the world and is very popular."
He felt unhappy because even Shao Fei had Su He's private number, but he didn't.
The calmer Sheng Jin's tone became, the more sarcastic it sounded. Shao Fei inexplicably felt a faint spark arising between them.
Originally, Shao Fei had some one-sided barriers towards Sheng Jinyu. No matter how many times they met or talked, he could never get close to her. He was a straightforward person who didn't like beating around the bush. But although Sheng Jinyu was almost the same age as him, he always gave people the impression of being mature beyond his years and sinister, which made people afraid to get close to her.
Feeling an inexplicable chill, Shao Fei wondered if his family's recent cooperation with the Sheng family had been quite enjoyable...
Why does Sheng Jinyu always interrupt him with words?
Su He, who was standing between the two of them, felt a headache. He pulled his hand back and steadied himself against the wall. He pointed at the sofa and said to Sheng Jinyu, "Mr. Sheng, please sit down for a while. I'll see him off and be back soon."
His original intention was to break this strange atmosphere and give Shao Fei a signal to leave on some pretext, so as to avoid having to endure Sheng Jin's inexplicable coldness and avoid unnecessary complications.
But Shao Fei didn't know how stupid he was and didn't understand at all.
Not only did she not leave, she even asked him bluntly: "Aren't you going to the bathroom? How are you going to go if I leave?"
He even heartlessly moved closer to Su He and whispered to him in what he thought was a very quiet voice, sneakily: "Don't be embarrassed, I'm leaving soon, do you think I'll bother him? He's not the kind of person who would meddle in other people's business. Aren't you afraid that you'll get sick if you keep it to yourself?"
Su He laughed awkwardly twice, not knowing how to answer. Couldn't he just not use the toilet?
After a while, he managed to say, "It's okay, I can do it."
"What can you do but..." Shao Fei wanted to say something when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was his grandfather calling. He answered the phone hurriedly. The person on the other end of the phone said that his little doe was about to give birth and urged him to go back to see it for the first time.
Shao Fei left reluctantly. Assistant Fang led the way for him with a smile. After instructing his subordinates to go in and put down a few fruit baskets and thermos buckets, he closed the door of the ward steadily.
The person who was in the way disappeared, and only two people were left in the room.
Su He glanced at the pile of cherries on the table and immediately saw the basket of bright red cherries. They were big, round, and bright red. They looked sweet and delicious. Sheng Jinyu actually remembered that he loved eating cherries...
He withdrew his gaze and looked at Sheng Jinyu, who walked towards him, raised his hand to open the collar of his hospital gown, looked at the bandage exposed on his shoulder, and asked in a low voice: "The doctor said you need to be discharged. Are you all right?"
"It's all fine. Just wait for the shoulder injury to heal on its own." Su He let him watch without moving.
Sheng Jinyu nodded. Actually, he had many more questions to ask, such as what were you thinking when you risked your life to stop the car?
Is this a deal? What will I get in exchange for it later?
But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, they turned into: "The people have been caught and dealt with. Do you want to hear the results?"
His low voice sounded quite magnetic in his ears. Su He knew who he was talking about. It was just the group of people who were chasing the car on the winding mountain road, but Su He inexplicably heard some other meaning in his words.
It was like a warning, or killing a chicken to scare the monkeys. Anyone or anything that hindered Sheng Jinyu could not escape his control and would never be able to escape unscathed.
Su He began to weigh the pros and cons. What about him? Could he get any special treatment from Sheng Jinyu?
Now it seems that it is impossible.
Su He shook his head: "No, as long as you are safe."
Sheng Jin paused his fingers and slowly retracted them. He looked at Su He's drooping eyes and gently twisted his fingertips, as if savoring the moment.
With the words "As long as you are safe", it seems that he really threw his own safety to the back of his mind. In fact, he did "save the emperor" this time and was admitted to the hospital with injuries. However, Sheng Jinyu was fine except for some scratches and the cuts he got when he threw his coat to block the broken glass.
Su He seemed really sincere and wanted to stand on the same side with him.
"Didn't you get enough rest?" Sheng Jinyu suddenly asked.
Su He: “…”
Perhaps even Sheng Jinyu noticed the dark circles under his eyes, so Su He lied guiltily, "I just couldn't sleep, it's nothing."
"Are you worried?"
“…No.”
"Since I told you to rest and recuperate, don't think about anything else."
Su He looked up at him and nodded, not quite understanding.
"What do you want?" Sheng Jinyu lowered his eyes and spoke slowly.
Su He didn't understand: "What, what do you want?"
"I owe you such a big favor, I have to pay it back."
Su He understood, but was afraid to say it. He actually wanted a "golden medal of immunity from death", but now was obviously not a good time to bring it up. He might pack up and run away before that time came.
Anyway, he had nothing to worry about and was always ready to escape.
"Then I'll owe you that first, okay?"
Sheng Jinyu raised his eyebrows slightly and agreed. Then he raised his arm and handed it to him. Su He looked down and did not move.
"Don't you want to go to the bathroom?"
Su He then realized that the arm Sheng Jinyu extended to him was meant to serve as a handrail. He hesitated for a moment, then took it, pinching the place where the auxiliary material was attached properly, not touching Sheng Jinyu's skin. With his other hand, he supported the wall and slowly moved towards the bathroom with his injured foot.
"Thank you," he whispered.
Sheng Jinyu didn't say anything.
After taking two or three steps inside, the narrow bathroom was already a bit crowded for two grown men. It would be difficult to have others present for what was to happen next. Su He held onto the bathroom's special handrail and said to him sheepishly, "I can do it myself."
These words were clearly meant to drive him away, but Sheng Jinyu didn't move.
He looked at Su He's bare feet sticking out there. He had no shoes on his injured foot, so he could only step on the ground when he landed. Even though the ground was mopped clean, he still felt it was a little dirty.
"Wait."
Su He saw from the mirror that Sheng Jinyu turned around and left, but within a few seconds, he came back.
There was an extra slipper in his hand, his.
Su He felt a little flattered. After all, the young master was usually too lazy to even take his own shoes. Su He thought he would throw them to him, but he didn't expect Sheng Jinyu to squat down, hold his ankle with a strap with one hand, and gently put the slippers on his feet.
Before I had time to relax, my breathing stopped.
He felt a slight warmth on his feet, and he looked down. Sheng Jinyu placed the back of his hand against his feet, frowning slightly as he looked up at him. "Why are you so cold? Is the AC on too high?"
Su He rarely looked at Sheng Jinyu from this perspective. The special light in the bathroom fell on his face, making his brow bones stand out, making him look more handsome and less distant.
Su He tightened his grip on the armrest and shook his head: "No, it's just that my physical condition is not good. My feet are always cold."
Sheng Jinyu then stood up, looking down from above to block the light. Seeing the light blush on Su He's cheek, he felt inexplicably better. With a subtle smile, he said, "You feel cold. It's time to ask Sister Ling to get you some medicine."
Su He had never seen such a kind side of him before, and surprise was written all over his face. Sheng Jinyu said nonchalantly, "You saved my life, you don't think I'm ungrateful, do you?"
After saying that, he was willing to leave the narrow space and close the door with a click.
*
During the days that Su He was in the hospital, the situation outside was changing.
As instructed, Assistant Fang collected evidence from all the cars involved in the car chase that day and sent them to the police station for investigation. There was no license plate information on the cars, and they were clean, which was a very standard example of intentional accident.
This was something that had been expected, but it also gave the police station a reason to open a case for investigation. After giving notice, the higher-ups solemnly established an investigation team.
The investigation actually revealed some clues. The police station followed the clues and called Sheng Zhilin in for a chat. Sheng Zhilin was confident that he had done a clean job. He spread his hands in front of the inspector and swore that he had nothing to do with the people chasing the car.
The fact is, the police station really didn't find anything.
He stayed in the police station for three days and thought he could go home without any problems, but the investigation team suddenly took out a report record and wanted to check the assets and accounts of his subordinates. Sheng Zhilin's face changed immediately.
This tactic of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west caught him off guard, and he didn't even have time to inform him of the situation.
Just like that, the underground casino jointly opened by Sheng Zhilin and his elder brother was shut down, all kinds of dirty transactions surfaced, the Golden Palace was deserted, and only a piece of golden land remained, occupying the best location in Linhai Bay.
After being seized by the government, it was handed over to the real estate branch of the Sheng family, and the ones who held the real estate power were Sheng Jin and his father Sheng Zonglan.
After going around in circles, it left the hands of its own family and returned to its own hands, but the owner had changed.
Upon hearing the news, Yan Yichen applauded, after all, he was a collateral beneficiary of the incident.
The Yan family's gambling business was open and had been reported to the relevant authorities, but Sheng Zhilin broke the rules and did not keep his word when running this casino, disrupting the peaceful life of Guangzhou.
Sheng Jin's act of righteousness in this incident also happened to eliminate an enemy for the Yan family.
He gave Sheng Jinyu two thumbs up and praised him for being awesome.
Sheng Jinyu said that it was not over yet. The car that was involved in the car accident in Lion City was Chen Zhaoyuan's car. The Chen family must have had a transaction with Sheng Zhilin and others, and was inseparable from this matter.
He would not allow someone to stare at his head in the dark, so he had to meet him in person to test the waters.
Having said that, Yan Yichen suddenly remembered that the Chen family was planning to hold a jewelry exhibition and was still looking for a venue.
He took the initiative to hire a cruise ship to go out to sea for a cruise, which was just the right place for the Chen family to gather their people and also to repay Sheng Jin for this favor.
The day for sailing was set, but Sheng Jin and his team still hadn't given any information on when they could board the ship. Yan Yichen called him and asked, "Jinzi, are you leaving or not?"
Sheng Jinyu didn't bother with his corny name and just said, "Five o'clock in the afternoon, the last time I'll board the ship."
Yan Yichen scratched his head: "What big thing could have tripped you up?"
"Wait for the formalities."
"What procedures?"
"Discharge procedures."
"You don't live here..." Yan Yichen stopped talking halfway.
How could he not know who had been in the hospital for the past two days? He immediately found it funny.
"Young Master Sheng can't go out without an assistant now? Isn't Assistant Fang enough for you? I admit that Assistant Su is good, but if he finds a better job in the future, are you going to find a tree to hang yourself on?"
Yan Yichen's words were exaggerated. He loved to talk nonsense, but he also had some real complaints in his words.
Sheng Jinyu had no idea he was being criticized and said calmly, "Are you envious?"
"Fuck!" Yan Yichen cursed sincerely on the other end and hung up the phone.
