Chapter 223 No one is allowed to obtain evidence from her.
Hospital.
Xie Yunshu was rushed into the examination room.
Ji Ying and Jiang Ran sat outside waiting.
"Are you sure you don't want to get checked again?" Jiang Ran asked.
Ji Ying's head still ached a little. She rubbed her temples and said softly, "It's nothing."
Jiang Ran scrutinized her again, then glanced at her phone, before finally saying, "I've been on guard against her all along, but I never expected her to retaliate against you in such a reckless way."
Ji Ying caught the key point in her words, "Always on guard against her?"
Jiang Ran nodded. "Do you know who told me that she had ulterior motives towards you?"
Ji Ying shook her head.
Jiang Ran said, "It's Gu Yanchen."
Ji Ying paused, her hand that was rubbing her forehead.
What was his purpose in doing this?
Jiang Ran shrugged. "Who knows? But I think..."
She lowered her voice, "He seems to know quite a lot."
Ji Ying pursed her lips and remained silent.
Just then, hurried footsteps approached from afar.
Jiang Ran saw the person who came and quickly stood up.
"What kind of tests have you had done?" Liang Yizhi asked Ji Ying.
"The boss's wife refuses to get any tests done, not even a CT scan. The doctor said they need to draw her blood..."
Liang Yizhi turned to look at her.
“…She refused too,” Jiang Ran said.
Liang Yizhi gave him a wink, and Jiang Ran approached.
He turned around and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "No one is allowed to get any evidence from her, not even Xue Qin."
Jiang Ran was surprised for a moment, then quickly nodded.
"I've already had the accident scene handled, so it won't alarm Chairman Liang and the others."
Liang Yizhi was fairly satisfied with her handling of the situation. He turned around, bent down, and reached out to cup Ji Ying's face.
Seeing the red and swollen patch on her forehead, the man frowned with concern.
"Should we get a CT scan?"
Ji Ying shook her head.
Liang Yizhi picked her up.
"I'm leaving this to you," he said to Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran nodded.
Liang Yizhi, carrying Ji Ying, didn't go anywhere but returned to the car.
He put her in the passenger seat and took out a food box containing a bowl of warm matsutake mushroom porridge.
Ji Ying was indeed hungry, so she took the food and started eating.
Halfway through her meal, she suddenly remembered something, looked up and instructed, "There's still a piece of blueberry mousse on the passenger seat. Don't let them throw it away. Take it back to my room for me; I'll eat it tonight."
Liang Yizhi nodded, watching her drink the porridge while gently applying anti-swelling ointment to her.
"Do you think Xie Mingxuan sent her to hit me?" Ji Ying asked.
“Definitely not,” Liang Yizhi answered decisively. “Although Xie Yunshu is not related to the Xie family by blood and is not favored, Xie’s third son treats her like his own daughter. He even gave up having any more children for her sake. Even if Xie Mingxuan had bad intentions, he would not take advantage of her for the sake of Xie’s third son.”
"I understand. Don't worry about this, I'll handle it."
Liang Yizhi gave a soft reply.
"By the way, I hallucinated again the moment I was hit," Ji Ying said.
Liang Yizhi paused in applying the medicine. "What hallucination?"
"It was a woman's scream, and... there was blood everywhere. I'm sure I didn't experience that, but the hallucination felt so real."
Liang Yizhi's brow twitched almost imperceptibly. He put down the ointment and said calmly, "Observe for a while longer. If there is still discomfort, see a doctor as soon as possible."
Ji Ying nodded.
Just as she finished her porridge, Jiang Ran sent a message saying that Xie Yunshu had been moved to a regular ward.
Ji Ying was about to get off the car when Liang Yizhi stopped her.
"Xie Mingxuan is very wary, so I won't go to your place tonight. I'll stay a little longer, okay?"
A flicker of eerie fire rose in the man's eyes...
When Ji Ying left, her face was flushed.
But after relaxing for a while, my headache seems to have subsided.
She paused as she walked down to the inpatient building.
Gu Yanchen stood at the door, as if he had been waiting for her for a long time.
"Do you need something?" Ji Ying asked warily.
“You and he were in the car for quite a while,” he said.
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "What's it to you?"
Even after many days apart, he still carried that undeniable arrogance.
"Liang Yizhi is not the right person for you."
Ji Ying laughed at his words, "Could it be that you are?"
Gu Yanchen's arrogance shattered instantly, and a deep pain and regret surged up, which he forcibly suppressed.
"Yes, I've paid the price, so now I understand the meaning of cherishing things better than anyone else."
Ji Ying's face showed a mocking expression, "Then I wish Chairman Gu a long and lasting relationship."
She turned to leave as she spoke.
“Ji Ying,” Gu Yanchen called out to her, “You can continue to believe that he can protect you, but don’t forget, there will always be a time when he has to weigh the pros and cons. When that time comes, you will see clearly what his priorities are. And my phone will always be on for you.”
Ji Ying turned to look at him, her gaze unfriendly.
"So you deliberately waited for me here just to tell me this?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Yue came in from outside the hall carrying a bag of tonics.
"Chairman Gu, I've come to visit Grandma Gu. I'm so sorry to have troubled you to come down and greet me personally. Have you been waiting for me?"
Gu Yanchen looked at her with a calm expression, "You're very thoughtful."
Tang Yue also saw Ji Ying. "Director Ji, it's been a long time. Lately, Qing Sui and I have been contacting President Xiao, you..."
"My friend is in the hospital, I have to go upstairs to see her, please excuse me."
After saying that, Ji Ying continued to leave.
Tang Yue was stunned for a moment, and only after her figure disappeared into the elevator did she smile and look at Gu Yanchen again.
"Chairwoman Gu's path to reconciliation doesn't seem smooth. Why don't you tell her everything you know?"
Gu Yanchen's gaze remained fixed on the elevator entrance, his voice indifferent, "Belittling opponents is not my style. As for Liang Yizhi, she'll discover who she is slowly. That way... she'll come back willingly."
Tang Yue looked at him intently, a faint look of disappointment on her face.
When Ji Ying entered the ward, Xie Yunshu was receiving an IV drip.
She sat blankly on the bed, her face still pale.
Jiang Ran stepped forward and whispered, "The child is fine, but this person is wicked. He just confessed that he mixed poisonous powder into the incense he gave you last night. You didn't use it, did you?"
Ji Ying smiled faintly: "If I had used it, I wouldn't be standing here properly now. You go eat first, I'll talk to her alone for a while."
Jiang Ran glanced at Xie Yunshu and determined that she was currently harmless before leaving the ward.
The door was gently closed, leaving only Ji Ying and Xie Yunshu in the room.
The air instantly became thick and oppressive. Ji Ying looked at the woman sitting on the hospital bed, her eyes icy cold.
"What is your purpose in coming to the Liang residence?"
Xie Yunshu turned her head away from her, her pale lips pressed into a stubborn line, and remained silent.
Ji Ying wasn't in a hurry. She pulled up a chair, sat down on the edge of the bed, and remained calm.
"Is the child Liang Jian's?"
Xie Yunshu shuddered, turning to look at her with wary eyes, "What...what are you going to do?"
Ji Ying met her gaze, her tone calm yet unquestionable, "If you want to protect this child, tell me, who ordered you to take my life?"
The moment the words left her lips, Xie Yunshu's pupils trembled almost imperceptibly.
