Chapter 185
"Where."
The man on the other end of the phone seemed a little tired, and no longer had the same enthusiasm for "playing games" with Shi Ye as he did at the beginning.
"Shi Ye, listen to me, this was an accident..."
"I asked you, where?"
The man heard the anger in his tone and was silent for a moment: "The suburban branch is the nearest hospital."
"Where's Jiang Zhinian..."
"She's fine, but...she's lost the baby. The doctor said her uterus might need to be removed. She probably won't be able to get pregnant in the future."
The man sighed deeply. "I told her from the beginning that I just wanted to make a deal with you and that I wouldn't hurt her. But she didn't believe me and tried to escape in the middle of the night. It was too dark, and she stepped on the wrong staircase..."
Listening to the voice of shirking responsibility on the other end of the phone, Shi Ye felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head, a piercing and suffocating despair.
She was looking forward to that child so much, the child that would be like a bond between them.
Shi Ye couldn't explain what he felt in his heart. His mind told him that he had to rush to the hospital and stay with her, but he couldn't move his feet.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses, and he went downstairs in a daze.
The housekeeper followed him and watched him walk out of the door and stand in the corridor, where he stopped and didn't move. He couldn't help but feel a little worried.
"Master, are you okay?"
Shi Ye raised his hand and placed it on his chest, a confused and helpless look on his face.
He lowered his head and looked at the hairband in his hand again, and suddenly his back stiffened.
The old butler stood aside with an uneasy look on his face, as if he wanted to say something but didn't dare.
Shi Ye's gaze swept towards him, then he looked back at the floor in the hall. The bloodstains had just been wiped clean, and the floor had returned to its normal state, as if nothing had happened.
…
In the villa next door, in the pitch darkness, a man was watching everything happening under the lens with interest through a telescope.
Shi Ye strode towards his car and then made a phone call.
A minute later, the assistant's phone rang, followed by an exclamation.
"What's up."
“Old, boss, just now, the holders of the forked coin claim that they have mastered the latest privacy and anonymity technologies and greatly improved transaction speed and efficiency.”
If solving the problem of computing power monopoly only allows forked coins to have more grassroots supporters, then the two major powers of privacy and anonymity will strangle the throats of most mid- and high-level users.
The man took out a cigar and put it under his nose and sniffed it: "The third one lost."
After tonight's liquidation time, starting tomorrow, Mammon Coin will be replaced by its shadow-like fork coin that has been hiding in the dark.
And this is Shi Ye's declaration of war on himself.
"He discovered..."
The man stood up and turned around to see the woman sleeping soundly on the bed. She was sleeping soundly, and her bulging belly as she lay on her side added a touch of maternal purity to her delicate beauty.
"How did he find out I was lying to him?" The man touched his chin and laughed at himself. "It doesn't matter. What matters is that I tricked him."
Thinking of the pair of red eyes, the man felt interesting. He remembered that he seemed to have had a similar feeling in some gap in his life.
However, the time was too long ago, so long ago that he couldn't remember whether it really happened or was a scene that was tampered with and beautified by his memory.
"Let's go."
Shi Ye's car had disappeared into the night, and their play for the night was over.
"Boss, what about her...?"
The man felt a little bored and waved his hand: "Send her back tomorrow morning."
…
She opened her eyes and was dazed for a while. She felt a little sleepy, but couldn't fall asleep. She was so irritable that she was about to turn over when suddenly a warm body gently pressed against her back.
"who……"
"Shh-"
"Shi, Shiye?!" Jiang Zhinian covered her mouth and turned around in surprise, "How did you get in?"
Shi Ye pointed to the window, then put his arm around Jiang Zhinian's waist and gently touched her belly.
The baby probably felt his father's mood, and this time he actually moved out of courtesy.
Jiang Zhinian complained softly, "You woke her up, and then she kicked me again."
Shi Ye didn't say anything, but with a faint smile, he gently held Jiang Zhinian's head against his chest.
"What's wrong..." Perhaps sensing Shi Ye's different emotions, Jiang Zhinian's voice softened unconsciously.
"It's okay, I was just worried about you."
"Don't be nervous. Your dad...although he's a little weird, he's pretty good to me and the kids. He even had the chef prepare twelve dishes tonight."
"Are you complaining now that I don't cook enough?"
"No, I was accusing him of wasting food."
Shi Ye listened to Jiang Zhinian talking, suddenly lowered his head, and gently kissed her lips.
"I was very scared just now."
Jiang Zhinian was stunned. This was the first time Shi Ye expressed fear to her.
"He said you rolled down the stairs and I saw a lot of blood. He also said the child was gone and you would never have children again."
Shi Ye's words were not coherent when he said this. It seemed as if he was recalling some distant memory and speaking it word by word.
He wanted to tell Jiang Zhinian how he felt at that time, but found that there was no word that could clearly express his thoughts.
He could only repeat "scared".
Jiang Zhinian leaned on his chest, listening to his heartbeat, and suddenly an inexplicable suspicion surged in his heart again.
Just like she had mistakenly believed before that Shi Ye liked her.
"Can we still be like before?"
In fact, not only Jiang Zhinian felt uncomfortable with the two of them getting along these days, but Shi Ye also felt uncomfortable.
"I have a feeling that if this continues, you will leave me."
"I won't leave you." Jiang Zhinian blurted out without any hesitation. In her opinion, they were like two angular stones. When they were placed in a bottle at the beginning, they would definitely feel disgusted with each other, but as time went by, the edges would be smoothed out. Then, they would become two round stones, close to each other.
Shi Ye was silent for a while, then suddenly said, "Feel my pocket."
Shi Ye was lying on his left side, so Jiang Zhinian could only touch his right pocket, which was empty, with nothing in it.
"Jiang Zhinian, if I had it, I would really like to give it to you."
But he didn't, his pockets were empty, and no matter how much desire was in his eyes, he just couldn't take out the lucky coin to exchange.
Jiang Zhinian thought about it, searched in his pocket, and then reached into Shi Ye's pocket.
"It's okay, I have a lot, I'll give you half."
