Chapter 316 Isn't she worth protecting with your life?
Beijing, late at night.
After receiving Shen Zhantang's call, Xie Jinghuai was unable to reach him for several hours, and was extremely anxious and unable to sleep.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie!"
Han Xu hurriedly entered the study. "I just saw on social media that a large-scale shooting incident occurred in the Huanshan area of Nancheng. One person died and more than a dozen people were injured! The news has already reported it, but it hasn't made it to the trending topics yet, probably because it's too late!"
What's even more baffling is that I found out Mr. Shen's car... also headed towards Nancheng today. But ultimately, I couldn't track him down where he went!
"Zhan Tang, did you also go to Nancheng?" Xie Jinghuai's heart tightened, and an ominous premonition struck.
Shen Zhantang had never been to Nancheng in his life, and the Shen Group had no projects there. Why would he suddenly go there?
Could this shooting... be related to Zhan Tang?!
"Go and verify the deceased's identity immediately!"
Han Xu was about to answer when his phone rang. He picked it up and his expression changed drastically.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie. The person who died was Gao Sheng, the young master of the Donglian Society."
Xie Jinghuai's tall and imposing body trembled violently, a chill spreading through his limbs and bones.
It's confirmed, it was Shen Zhantang who did it, without a doubt.
"Is it really you...? You'd even kill someone to avenge Su Xi'er?"
Xie Jinghuai steadied himself by holding onto the edge of the table, and once he calmed down, his voice instantly became hoarse. "A-Xu, these next few days, keep a close eye on the police. If there's any sign of anything, let me know immediately. We have to find a way to ensure Zhan Tang's safe transition and prevent him from getting further into this mess."
If it's discovered that the dead person is connected to him, his entire future will be ruined.
He couldn't just stand by and watch his good brother jump into a fire pit; he had to do everything he could to clean up the mess for him.
"Yes, Mr. Xie, I understand."
Han Xu paused for a moment, then sighed deeply, "Before, I always thought President Shen was cynical and irresponsible, but I never expected him to be so deeply in love with Miss Su. It really makes me look at him in a new light."
"He was too impulsive. He's just asking for trouble. When will he stop making me worry so much?" Xie Jinghuai rubbed his forehead in frustration, his head starting to ache again.
Han Xu looked at him earnestly: "President Xie, in your life... is there anyone you'd risk your life to protect?"
"Of course, Tongtong, my son," Xie Jinghuai replied without hesitation.
"Anything else?"
Xie Jinghuai's thin lips parted slightly, and after a moment's hesitation, he chose to remain silent.
"Young Madam, isn't she worth protecting with your life?"
"Heh, then you'd better ask her first, if I and Fu Chenzhou fell into the water, who would she save first?"
Han Xu: "…………"
Just then, Secretary Han's phone rang again. He answered it, his eyes wide with astonishment:
"Mr. Xie! There's a situation at the hospital. There are thugs planning to attack Miss Su tonight, and the young mistress happens to be there!"
Xie Jinghuai's blood froze, his heart stopped, "Is Jiang Shiyuan alright?!"
"Thank goodness, the young mistress is alright!"
Xie Jinghuai's heart was still in suspense; he didn't even bother to put on his suit jacket and hurried out.
"Go to the hospital immediately!"
...
Ye Yu accompanied Shen Min to the police station to give a statement, and also tried to figure out how to get the stubborn criminal to talk.
Yin Meng is still unconscious at the hospital.
Ye Yu was worried, so he called Xiao Qi from his law firm and another tall and strong lawyer over to stay in Su Xier's hospital room and protect the two women.
In the early hours of the morning, Jiang Shiyuan was still sitting stiffly by the bedside, watching over Su Xier, her eyes bloodshot from exhaustion.
Xiao Qi and the other lawyer were too exhausted to stay awake any longer and were already dozing off.
At that moment, Jiang Shiyuan heard the sound of leather shoes walking outside the ward, very quickly and urgently.
In the blink of an eye, we were outside the door.
Is... Fu Chenzhou back?
Jiang Shiyuan's heart pounded wildly, vibrating throughout her chest, and all the blood in her body felt hot and alive.
She hadn't felt this way in a very, very long time.
The intense heartbeat she felt back then, when she learned she was going to marry Xie Jinghuai, returned now when she thought of Fu Chenzhou.
Jiang Shiyuan walked briskly to the door and opened it without hesitation.
When she saw those long, sharp phoenix eyes and that handsome face, her expression instantly darkened.
It's not Fu Chenzhou.
He wasn't the person she was looking for.
Rather, it was someone she loathed utterly.
Jiang Shiyuan lowered her eyes, as if she hadn't seen the man in front of her, and was about to close the door immediately.
The next second, Xie Jinghuai suddenly grabbed her slender forearm with his large hand, the heat in his palm was astonishing.
He suddenly pulled her into his arms and held her tightly, as if someone was trying to take her away from him.
"Xie Jinghuai! Let me go!" Jiang Shiyuan's eyes reddened as she struggled relentlessly.
"Why didn't you tell me you were in danger?!"
Overwhelmed with tension, Xie Jinghuai's heavy breathing sprayed onto her fair neck, his phoenix eyes a mixture of anger and heartache. "Are you hurt anywhere?"
