Chapter 293 It wasn't a single swear word, but every single syllable was an insult to her.
Not long after Jiang Ran left, she returned carrying a woman.
Shen Ruofu was left by the car, her eyes filled with resentment as she looked at Ji Ying.
"My mother is in emergency care, what right do you have to arrest me?"
Ji Ying got out of the car, took off one shoe, and slapped it directly on her face.
"Ji Ying, are you out of your mind? You've completely broken ties with the Shen family, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the other side of his face with a shoe sole.
After being hit twice, Shen Ruofu was on the verge of collapse. She covered her face and shrank back, not daring to make a sound.
Ji Ying stopped and sneered, "I thought you would be a little smarter than Shen Aizhu, but it turns out you're not even worthy of me hitting you."
Shen Ruofu bit her lip, her eyes filled with hatred, but fearing the shoe sole in her hand, she could only tremble and say, "You were bitten by Shen Aizhu, why are you taking it out on me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ji Ying slapped her across the mouth with the sole of her shoe.
"Do you think your tricks of using others to do your dirty work and shifting blame can fool everyone?"
Shen Ruofu's lips were swollen, her nose was bleeding profusely, and she looked extremely disheveled.
However, Ji Ying's voice became even colder.
"You used the pain of losing your daughter to provoke Madam Shen in order to achieve your ulterior motives; in order to hold me back, you even went so far as to kill someone who grew up with you and was nominally your sister. Do you even deserve to be called a human being?"
A flicker of panic crossed Shen Ruofu's mind.
Regarding Shen Aizhu's death, she anticipated that Ji Ying would suspect her.
Therefore, she prepared a whole set of arguments, intending to speak eloquently and win Liang Yizhi's favor when Ji Ying questioned her in front of Liang Yizhi.
To everyone's surprise, Ji Ying didn't play by the rules at all; she started by giving him a brutal beating...
Just as Shen Ruofu was wondering how to end this torment, the elevator doors not far away opened with a "ding".
Her eyes lit up when she saw who came out.
Shen Ruofu immediately raised her voice and said, "Ji Ying, you're slandering me! Shen Aizhu was clearly driven to her death by you! She was simple-minded, and you were afraid she would steal Yizhi away from him, so you secretly tortured her in every way..."
"Looks like it was my mistake to keep those two front teeth of yours."
Ji Ying raised the shoe in her hand again.
But this time, her wrist was grabbed in mid-air.
She turned around and bumped into Liang Yizhi's unreadable gaze.
"When did you start using this method to handle problems?" Liang Yizhi asked.
Seeing this, Shen Ruofu leaned weakly against the wall, covering her face and sobbing softly.
“Brother Yizhi, I swear, Aizhu’s death has nothing to do with me. She is my sister, how could I do such a heinous thing?”
Seeing her adding fuel to the fire, Ji Ying sneered and shook off Liang Yizhi's hand.
"What's wrong? Did I hit your sweetheart? Did it hurt your heart?"
No matter how badly Shen Ruofu was beaten, Liang Yizhi's gaze didn't linger on her for even a second longer.
On the contrary, Ji Ying's sarcastic remark made him frown instantly.
"You have no evidence, which will only give your opponent a handle to make your situation worse."
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow. "If I hit it, I would only be violating the Animal Protection Convention."
Shen Ruofu, "..."
This wasn't a single swear word, yet every single one of it was an insult to her.
Ji Ying put the shoes on the ground and put them on.
“Liang Yizhi, the more you pity her, the less I will let her go. I will beat her every time I see her in the future. If you are so kind-hearted, then stay and take good care of this beast.”
After saying that, she turned around, opened the car door, and got into the back seat.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Ran quickly walked around to the other side and climbed into the driver's seat.
The vehicle then started and drove away quickly, its taillights disappearing around the corner at the parking lot exit.
Liang Yizhi's face was gloomy, and his brows were furrowed even more tightly.
Seeing this, Shen Ruofu on the ground became even weaker.
Ji Ying has already left, so surely he'll feel sorry for her and hug her now?
Just as Shen Ruofu was about to cry out in pain, she saw Liang Yizhi turn his head and instruct Yue Zheng behind him, "Take her upstairs to get bandaged."
As Ji Ying watched the hospital building slowly disappear in the rearview mirror, her usually calm emotions began to fluctuate.
"Arrange for several people to guard Xiao Xia's hospital room. No one except her attending physician, nurses, and members of the Xiao family is allowed to enter."
Jiang Ran looked ahead and replied, "Mr. Liang has already made the arrangements, but... Shen Ruofu is the representative of the biotechnology company and the person in charge of Miss Xiao's surgery. It's probably impossible to prevent her from going in."
“I will speak with Xu Zhaoheng about this personally.” Ji Ying turned her gaze to the window. “Have you made any progress in asking about Shen Jingxiu?”
"Teacher Shen... he has been ill for many years."
"Are you sick?"
"Yes. His condition has always been kept secret. The outside world thought he was focusing on research and development, but in reality, he has been recuperating."
Jiang Ran paused, then lowered her voice.
"I heard an unconfirmed story. More than a decade ago, Professor Shen's research was about to cause a sensation around the world, but then an accident suddenly occurred. It is said that the finished product had a problem, which greatly affected him, and he has been ill ever since."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ying fell silent.
Is it related to what he gave me?
No, that's impossible.
Both he and Madam Shen valued "important responsibilities" above all else. For the greater good and for the responsibilities on their shoulders, they were even willing to sacrifice their daughter.
Her existence was insignificant to them.
Ji Ying chuckled to herself inwardly, her eyes quickly returning to their cold and indifferent state.
"Send me to Huansheng Biotechnology."
Jiang Ran knew that she was going to resolve the issue of Shen Ruofu and Xiao Xia's contact, so she turned the steering wheel around.
We arrived at the building downstairs of Huansheng Biotechnology.
Ji Ying got out of the car. "I'm not staying on Dingbu Street anymore. Go and book me a hotel."
Jiang Ran was taken aback and was about to speak up to persuade him when Ji Ying's voice came again, "Go and investigate how much the awards and certificates that Shen Ruofu obtained are related to his mother."
"You want to deal with Madam Shen?" Jiang Ran asked in surprise.
A cold glint flashed in Ji Ying's eyes. "Since you've decided to cut down the trees, these troublesome vines should be cleared away first."
After saying that, she turned and walked into the building.
It was noon, and Xu Zhaoheng was still busy in his office.
The door opened, and footsteps could be heard.
Xu Zhaoheng didn't even look up, and said, "Put it on the table, I'll eat it in a bit."
However, no one responded to him for a long time, and no one put the things down.
He looked up and saw Ji Ying. He was visibly startled, then a hint of panic showed on his face, and he immediately stood up.
"You... how did you get here?"
The unpleasant confession at sea a few days ago is still fresh in my mind.
Afterwards, he realized he had acted impulsively and regretted it terribly.
Therefore, Xiao Xia entrusted all subsequent matters to Shen Ruofu.
At this moment, Xu Zhaoheng didn't know where to look, while Ji Ying remained calm.
"Would you do me the honor of inviting Mr. Xu to lunch?"
"well."
Xu Zhaoheng responded, his fingers unconsciously adjusting his cuffs, his nervousness and helplessness almost impossible to hide.
Ji Ying raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn't drive."
Xu Zhaoheng hurriedly grabbed the keys. "I'll treat you."
Ji Ying got into his Porsche, and the car merged into traffic.
No one spoke along the way.
She opened the passenger window to ease the overly quiet atmosphere inside the car, then rested her elbow on the window frame and gazed indifferently out the window.
When the car reached a red light, it slowly came to a stop.
At almost the same time, the red flag in the left lane also slowly came to a stop.
"Mr. Liang, isn't that Madam?"
Yue Zheng glanced casually to the side and blurted out words of surprise.
Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi, sitting in the back seat, shifted his gaze from the documents to his right, where he caught sight of Ji Ying sitting relaxed in Xu Zhaoheng's passenger seat.
The man's eyes suddenly darkened.
