Chapter 279: Self-directed and self-acted, or is there another hidden story?
"You're coming here every day now, which is too ostentatious. My colleagues all remember you." Jiang Yao sometimes wondered if Li Beiting was declaring his sovereignty in this way.
However, Li Beiting insisted, "I have to ensure your safety and send you home safely every day."
Those deep eyes were full of concern for her.
That's why she couldn't refuse.
In the end, Jiang Yao still got into the car obediently, but said, "Before I go back today, I still have to go to the club to deliver a document to my partner."
"I'll take you there." Li Beiting put his hands on the steering wheel, like a full-time driver, not minding the trouble at all.
Jiang Yao thought about treating him to a drink and relaxing.
Arriving at the club half an hour later, they took the elevator up to the fifth floor together.
However, she didn't have time to ask which box the partner was in.
Jiang Yao then stood in the corridor, took out his cell phone and sent a WeChat message to ask.
While waiting, she thought about chatting with Li Beiting to pass the time.
Just at this moment, an angry voice came from the box behind him.
"Lu Xuan, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to blame me for your injury? If I hadn't helped you plan this, would you have gotten anyone's sympathy?"
Jiang Yao and Li Beiting were startled at the same time, and then turned around at the same time.
Through the slightly open door, they saw a middle-aged man in the box with one hand on his waist, talking on the phone with his back to them.
"I'm still lying in the hospital, and you're telling me this..." A familiar male voice came from the speakerphone.
If the same name and surname was a coincidence, then the same voice meant that the person on the other end of the phone was indeed the Lu Xuan she knew!
The middle-aged man, not knowing what he had heard, tried to appease him, "Alright, calm down. You got beaten up for nothing, but didn't you get the upper hand this time? That woman must be so grateful to you right now. She never imagined you were involved in this!"
Jiang Yao was shocked when he heard this.
What does this mean?
Are they talking about a kidnapping? What do they mean by it’s related to Lu Xuan?
Could it be that he staged all of this himself in order to gain his sympathy?
She immediately thought of Qin Jinxiu's words about the "torture trick", and a chill ran through her heart.
Li Beiting, who was standing by, also heard this information and his face turned ugly.
At this time, two waiters came over from the opposite side while chatting.
Jiang Yao and his companion were afraid of attracting the attention of the people inside, so they could only look at each other and leave quietly.
The phone call in the room continued, "Zhao Bingchen, this is my emotional problem. Who made you do such a cruel thing? You are simply lawless!"
Lu Xuan's voice was filled with anger, and he was almost vomiting blood.
"Lu Xuan, who do you think you are talking to? Don't forget that I am still your boss!"
Zhao Bingchen was immediately enraged. "You looked so distraught last time, wasn't it because of that woman? If you want it, just get it! I did all this just to make your wish come true, but you not only don't appreciate it, you even dare to blame me!"
"I do like her, but I never thought of using such a despicable method. You are breaking the law!" Lu Xuan argued with him, "Do you know who she is? How dare you attack her!"
"Isn't she just a beautiful woman?"
Zhao Bingchen sneered disdainfully, "Lu Xuan, don't forget who you are! It was because I gave you the opportunity that you were able to make a comeback and achieve the achievements and status you have today! If you don't know what's good for you, I can take it back at any time."
There was a blatant threat in his words. He believed that Lu Xuan was a sensible businessman who knew that a man of insight is a wise man.
However, this time, Lu Xuan did not do as he wished, but said coldly: "In that case, our cooperation ends here!"
"What did you say?" Zhao Bingcheng couldn't believe what he heard.
Lu Xuan ignored him and hung up the phone.
He never thought that his boss would do such a ridiculous thing.
It was because when they were drinking that day, he mentioned that Jiang Yao was his first love, and because he had let her down, she had never changed her mind.
So he actually thought of kidnapping her and forcing her to be with him.
It is better to terminate the cooperation with such a cruel person as soon as possible to cut losses in time.
However, during these few days in the hospital, Jiang Yao never came to see me once.
A strong sense of loss surged in his heart, and he turned to look at the nurse beside him, "Help me do something——"
…
That night, after delivering the documents, Jiang Yao and Li Beiting went downstairs to the VIP area and asked the waiter to bring two bottles of wine.
After taking a sip of wine, her throat felt cool and her mind became much clearer.
"Do you recognize the man in the box just now?"
She turned and asked Li Beiting.
Li Beiting shook his head. "I can send someone to investigate."
"I guess it should be Lu Xuan's colleague or superior." Jiang Yao still held the wine glass in his hand, his brows slightly frowned.
Li Beiting saw it all, but still asked, "Do you think the kidnapping at school that night was related to Lu Xuan?"
"I originally thought it wasn't, but..."
Before Jiang Yao could finish his words, the cell phone in his shirt pocket rang.
She stopped talking and picked up the phone. It was a call from the nurse she had asked to take care of Lu Xuan.
Her eyelids twitched, and she exchanged a glance with Li Beiting before clicking on the hands-free mode to answer the call.
"Excuse me, Miss Jiang?" The nurse's voice stuttered, revealing a bit of nervousness.
"I am. What's up?"
"Mr. Lu's condition suddenly worsened yesterday. He has been in severe pain all day today. He can't eat or sleep well. Miss Jiang, can you come and see him?" the nurse asked cautiously.
Jiang Yao looked indifferent. "If it hurts, go find a doctor to give you painkillers. I'm not a professional, so it's no use asking me."
"But……"
The nurse wanted to say something, but Jiang Yao called out the nurse's name, "I paid you to come over here to take care of his health. If you can't do a good job, I can find someone else."
The nurse was speechless and dared not say anything else.
Jiang Yao hung up the phone directly.
At this moment, Li Beiting's doubtful voice rang in his ears, "Is his condition worsening?"
Jiang Yao pursed her lips, took out the phone number she had exchanged with the attending physician at the hospital, and called to inquire about the situation.
The doctor was also surprised, but still replied, "Worsened? No, I've seen Mr. Lu recovering very well in the past two days. As for the pain, it's a bone injury after all, and it's inevitable that a broken bone will take a hundred days to heal."
"Okay, thank you, doctor."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yao sneered.
“It’s fake!”
