The man was wearing a black windbreaker with the brim of his hat pulled down so low that it almost covered his entire face.
Only a cold white chin and the raised corners of the lips were revealed.
There was a faint smile at the corner of his lips, which seemed to be mocking or contemptuous, making it hard to understand.
Hiroki Tengchuan stared at the man, trying to figure out something from his posture.
But the man was tall and slender, his steps were light, like a silent shadow, and even his breathing seemed to blend with the air.
Hiroki Tengchuan's heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and cold sweat oozed out of his palms.
"Who is this?" he couldn't help asking.
The old man glanced at him coldly, without any warmth in his tone.
"You don't need to know. You just need to remember that from today on, this person will do what you can't do in your place."
Hiroki Tengchuan's throat seemed to be blocked by something, and his breathing became rapid.
His eyes fell on the mysterious man again, trying to find a flaw in his posture.
But the man still stood there quietly, like an emotionless statue, without even a single unnecessary movement.
"Grandfather, what exactly do you want to do?" Tengchuan Hiroki's voice was filled with suppressed anxiety.
He knelt and took a step forward, wanting to get closer to the old man, but was forced back by the other's cold eyes.
The old man didn't answer.
He just waved to the mysterious man and said, "Go ahead and follow the plan."
The mysterious man immediately turned and left.
Hiroki Tengchuan's eyes followed the man's back closely.
It wasn't until the other person's figure completely disappeared at the door that he suddenly came to his senses.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to normal.
"grandfather!"
He practically growled, his voice thick with anger. "What do you mean? Have you lost trust in me?"
The old man turned around, his eyes as cold as ice, his tone without a trace of fluctuation, "Trust? Hongshu, you disappoint me so much."
"Your loss to that Chinese medicine doctor not only brought shame upon the Tengchuan family, but also put the entire plan in jeopardy. Do you think I can still place my hopes on you?"
Hiroki Tengchuan's face turned pale in an instant, his fists clenched tightly, and his nails almost dug into his palms.
He asked unwillingly, "But that person... who is he? You never mentioned him!"
The old man sneered, his eyes filled with sarcasm.
"You don't need to know who he is. You just need to understand that from today on, you are no longer the core of the Tengchuan family. The family's honor will be protected by him."
Hiroki Tengchuan's heart sank suddenly.
He had never seen the man, nor had he ever heard his grandfather mention him.
But the aura emanating from the other person made him feel an inexplicable sense of oppression.
He knew that his grandfather was completely disappointed in him.
The appearance of this mysterious man means that the family has given up on him.
"grandfather……
"Tengchuan Hiroki's voice was so low that it was almost inaudible, and he pleaded, "Give me another chance, I will definitely..."
"Enough!" The old man interrupted him harshly, without a trace of warmth in his eyes.
"Your chance has run out. Now, you just need to stay quiet and don't interfere with my plans."
Hiroki Tengchuan knelt on the spot, his whole body stiff, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over him from head to toe.
He looked at the old man's indifferent back, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
He knew that he had been completely excluded from the core of the family.
And that mysterious man will become the new weapon of the Tengchuan family.
…
It was just dawn in the capital.
Gu Youran had already quietly gotten up.
She stood in front of the window, looking at the sky outside which was gradually getting brighter, feeling a little expectant and a little nervous.
Today is her first time to officially see patients at Kangrui Hospital.
After returning to Beijing from Shanghai yesterday morning, Shi Heng insisted that she rest for a few more days, but how could she sit still?
The competition in Shanghai made her more confident about her condition.
Even the recovery speed of physical strength is much faster than before.
But Shi Heng's attitude remained firm, as if she was a fragile porcelain doll.
Thinking of this, Gu Youran couldn't help but pursed her lips, and her ears felt slightly hot.
Last night, in order to make him give in, she... fought hard.
I lowered my head and opened my phone, and on the screen was a photo I had just taken.
The flying eagle tattoo on her back was particularly clear in the morning light.
Shi Heng was right, the outline of the flying eagle seemed more vivid than before.
The wings are spread out, as if they will break through the skin and soar into the sky in the next second.
"What are you looking at so intently?"
A deep male voice suddenly sounded behind him, with a hoarseness that came from just waking up.
Before Gu Youran could react, a pair of strong arms had already wrapped around her waist from behind.
Shi Heng's chin pressed heavily on her shoulders, and his hot breath climbed up her neck.
It was like an electric current, stirring up a delicate shudder.
"Getting up so early..."
His voice sounded like it had been polished by sandpaper, carrying a hint of danger. "Looks like you weren't tired enough last night?"
His palms were placed on her waist, and his fingertips gently rubbed her through the silk pajamas.
Gu Youran's whole body stiffened, and he quickly turned off the screen, his ears burning red.
The images of last night flooded into my mind uncontrollably.
She sat astride his waist, her fingertips hooked on the buttons of Shi Heng's shirt, and threatened with red eyes, "Don't even think about sleeping if you don't agree."
At this moment, his body temperature penetrated into his skin through the clothes.
She turned suddenly, her back hitting the cold window frame.
"Shi Heng! You clearly promised to let me see patients today."
