It was half an hour later that I finally got the answers I wanted to know.
“Ah Yue, don’t go out alone with Ah Xiao recently. Try to have bodyguards with you. I have to go on a business trip in the next few days. After all this is over, our family will go to an island for the New Year.” He Liyu’s voice was deep and gentle, but Shen Linyue could still hear the fatigue in his tone.
I wanted to say a few words of comfort to him, but when the words came to my lips, I didn't know how to start, so I could only nod in agreement.
"I know... You should get some rest too." The Xie family was able to gather evidence to prosecute Jiang Yanxin entirely thanks to He Liyu's behind-the-scenes efforts in collecting evidence.
As for Jiang Jinyu...
Shen Linyue's eyes dimmed slightly.
It was only a matter of time before he was arrested.
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
The call ended quickly, and Shen Linyue composed herself and returned to the classroom.
Seeing that He Xiao's seat was still empty, she didn't think much of it.
But He Xiao didn't show up even after the entire class period, and Shen Linyue knew something was wrong.
She had just received the news from He Liyu that half of the reason Jiang Zhixing fell from the building was because he was helping a subordinate he had sent there, and that the subordinate's mistake led to Jiang Zhixing's fall.
Shen Linyue was even more shocked when she found out, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.
She first learned that He Liyu had found a man of similar build to A Xiao to replace him in order to protect A Xiao from harm.
But the process was not as simple as she had imagined.
Jiang Zhixing was willing to be accidentally injured by his own father's subordinate and fall from a building in order to help A Xiao.
For a moment, I didn't know whether to say that the Jiang family brought this upon themselves or to feel sorry for the male protagonist.
But just the fact that Jiang Zhixing was willing to put aside their grudges as mortal enemies to help 'A Xiao' made her prejudice against Jiang Zhixing disappear.
What she didn't expect was that before she could even tell He Xiao about it, he took action ahead of time.
Shen Linyue soon learned from Lao Zhao that A Xiao had taken two classes off and temporarily left school.
"Didn't you know that He Xiao took leave?" Old Zhao was very surprised.
Because the aunt and nephew usually had a very good relationship and did everything together, he agreed to the leave request without much thought when He Xiao brought it.
It seems that Lin is unaware that He has taken leave.
Old Zhao was bewildered.
Shen Linyue's eyelids were slightly lowered, and her long, thick eyelashes concealed the emotions in her eyes.
She could roughly guess that Ah Xiao left school because of Jiang Zhixing's matter, but she was very dissatisfied with his actions.
She could have discussed with her when to visit Jiang Zhixing, but this guy acted on his own and did it behind her back.
Shen Linyue was both angry and speechless. After a few seconds, she looked up at Old Zhao and said, "Teacher Zhao, could you help me get a leave slip too?"
Old Zhao: "..."
"I'll be back soon, and I'll bring He Xiao with me." The girl's eyes held a hint of pleading.
...
The People's Hospital is quite a distance from Taipei City Central Hospital, and it's difficult to get a taxi from the school.
Before returning to the classroom to tidy her desk, Shen Linyue sent a message to her housekeeper that she needed to use the car.
After a brief explanation, Butler Xiao agreed.
As I walked out of the school gate, I saw Mr. Liu, the driver who had always driven for He Liyu.
Shen Linyue was surprised for a second before she put her mind to something else.
"Has He Liyu already gone on a business trip?" Only after He Liyu leaves on his business trip will Master Liu have time to pick them up, so Shen Linyue asked this question.
Master Liu naturally didn't hide anything, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, Miss Lin Yue, I will be picking you and the young master up and down for the next few days."
Shen Linyue nodded knowingly and said that she would rest with her eyes closed in the car after visiting the People's Hospital.
She sent a message to He Xiao, but he didn't reply.
By the time it takes to finish a class, Ah Xiao should have arrived at the hospital. I just hope he can calm down and not act impulsively.
Shen Linyue pinched her slightly aching brow.
...
Because of the cold weather and frequent rain, He Xiao hasn't ridden his motorcycle in a long time.
So by the time he arrived at the hospital by taxi, almost an hour had passed.
But when he stood at the hospital entrance, watching the pedestrians coming and going, he hesitated again.
He did ask for leave to come here on a whim, but he didn't regret it. He just found it hard to believe that someone as selfish as Jiang Zhixing would fall to his death while trying to save him.
He Xiao felt that this was all fake and wanted to expose Jiang Zhixing's lies.
But he was the one who hesitated when he arrived at the entrance of the inpatient department.
After being exposed to the cold wind for about ten minutes, He Xiao finally went inside as if he had made up his mind.
However, he had just reached the seventh floor when he met Jiang Jinyu's gaze as she came out.
Jiang Jinyu saw him pause for a moment, then a smile that he thought was kind and gentle bloomed on his face.
"Xiao, didn't you have class? Did you come to see Xing?"
He Xiao became alert upon seeing him, but outwardly remained calm and greeted him, "Uncle Jiang."
"Yes, I've come to see Jiang... classmate." He Xiao frowned, his tone somewhat stiff.
For some reason, He Xiao found it difficult to say the name "Jiang Tongxue" this time, which was rather strange.
It seems that Jiang Zhixing is indeed the one who's sick.
Jiang Zhixing saw his struggle and his smile deepened, but his expression was one of sorrow and sigh.
“Ah Xing’s injuries are very serious. The doctor said that if he doesn’t regain consciousness, he will become a vegetable. You are his classmate. Maybe if you talk to him a few more times, you can stimulate his nerves and help him wake up sooner.”
He Xiao pursed his thin lips even tighter, his brows furrowed so deeply they could trap a fly.
Jiang Zhixing's injuries were so serious?
“…I’ll go check on him.” He walked past Jiang Jinyu.
Jiang Jinyu naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity to be alone with He Xiao, and he wore a kind and gentle smile, like a caring parent offering companionship.
