Chapter 266 I Will Stay With You
When Jiang Nian woke up again, she was lying face down on the hospital bed. She tried to get up by supporting herself with her hands, but the incision on her back was pulled and hurt a little, so she lay back down.
“Niannian, you’re awake,” Lin Xi pressed Jiang Nian down. “Is your wound hurting? Try not to move. You just had stitches, so you can only lie on your stomach for the next few days.”
"Xixi, am I in the hospital?" Jiang Nian couldn't remember how she got to the hospital at all; it seemed like she fell asleep in the car.
“Yes, you have many wounds,” Lin Xi said with a sigh, “especially the wound on your back, which required more than ten stitches.”
Jiang Nian thought of Lu Yunzhou, "Where's your brother? Is he injured?"
"My brother went to take care of some business and will be back in a little while. He has an injury, but it's not serious, so don't worry," Lin Xi said.
"That's good," Jiang Nian relaxed. "Today was really exciting."
Lin Xi listened to Lu Yunzhou's explanation of the situation. She never knew that doing business could encounter such a situation. It was terrifying. No wonder her brother wanted to find her a bodyguard.
"Niannian, do you want to call your family?" Lin Xi didn't know how to contact Jiang Nian's family. Jiang Nian was seriously injured, so it was necessary to notify her family.
“No need,” Jiang Nian said, afraid that her parents would worry, as her father had difficulty moving around. “I can be discharged after two days of rest.”
“You’ll need to stay for at least a week,” Lin Xi said. “The wound on your back is very deep.”
"We'll see then." Jiang Nian thought she could keep it a secret for as long as possible.
“Niannian, are you hungry?” Lin Xi said. “Wait a little longer. My mother is on her way. She’s worried that the food at the hospital won’t be good, so she asked the housekeeper to cook something and bring it over.”
"No need for that, I'm fine with anything." Jiang Nian was flattered; this treatment was a bit too much.
"No trouble at all," Lin Xi said with a smile. "You're her future daughter-in-law, so it's only natural that she's nice to you."
"Huh?" Jiang Nian's eyes widened. "Madam knows about this too?"
She was so embarrassed.
"Of course I know," Lin Xi said, squatting down and talking to Jiang Nian. "Today, Mom asked your brother to take you home for dinner. Who knew such a big thing would happen on the way? Mom is still blaming herself."
"I..." Jiang Nian opened her mouth, "Your brother and I might break up someday, this is getting a bit too formal."
"Why did you break up?" Lin Xi asked in surprise. "My brother was so worried about you when you got hurt. He was serious about you."
"Really?" Jiang Nian moved her neck, lying down was really tiring. "Maybe he's afraid I'm too badly injured and will ask him for compensation."
“Nonsense, my brother isn’t short of money,” Lin Xi tapped Jiang Nian’s nose. “He’s just feeling sorry for himself, I can tell.”
Jiang Nian didn't say anything more, imagining herself and Lu Yunzhou together. Maybe she could use today's events to sleep with Lu Yunzhou before they broke up.
At this moment, Lu Yunzhou was investigating the other party's background. It was a company called Hongxing, whose boss used to be involved in the underworld and still used the same methods as gangsters to do things.
Unfortunately, this approach didn't work on Lu Yunzhou. He interrogated each of the dozen or so thugs and uncovered a lot of illegal information.
Lu Yunzhou wanted to storm the enemy's stronghold, but because of his uncle's status, he couldn't escalate the situation. However, he couldn't swallow this insult.
He dialed his cousin Zhou Jingming's number directly and told him what had happened that day. "I'll send you the criminal information from over there in a package. Ask your uncle to help you deal with it."
Zhou Jingming was startled upon hearing this. "Yunzhou, are you injured?"
“I’m fine,” Lu Yunzhou said in a heavy tone, “but my girlfriend is badly injured. She has a deep cut on her back and is in the hospital.”
Zhou Jingming paused for two seconds, then asked, "When did you get a girlfriend?"
“We’ve only been talking for two days,” Lu Yunzhou replied. “Once she’s discharged from the hospital, I’ll take her to her uncle’s house to meet you.”
“Okay,” Zhou Jingming said, “My dad will retire next year, so he won’t have as many concerns anymore.”
“My uncle has retired, but what about my cousin? When is she coming home?” Lu Yunzhou asked.
“Tomorrow, she won’t know about all the things that have happened at home,” Zhou Jingming said, pressing his brow as he mentioned his younger sister. “She’ll cause a lot of trouble.”
"I'll be at the hospital for the next couple of days. Call me in advance if anything happens." Lu Yunzhou was thinking about resolving things here before heading to the hospital to take care of Jiang Nian.
Jiang Nian was injured because of him, so he has to treat her well.
Having resolved the matter here, Lu Yunzhou returned to the hospital.
Song Xu was waiting for Lu Yunzhou outside the ward. When he saw him return, he immediately stood up. "Brother Yunzhou, everything is ready. We'll short Hongxing's stock as soon as the market opens tomorrow morning and make sure it crashes and is delisted within a week."
Fighting aside, arguing aside, when it really matters, it's still family. Lu Yunzhou nodded, "I've already sent the information on their crimes to Jingming, and I believe someone will be investigating them in the next day or two."
Song Xu's expression was serious. "Didn't they find out your background? How dare they attack you?"
When Song Xu learned of Lu Yunzhou's accident, he and Lin Xi had just left the apartment and were about to go to Lu's house for dinner.
Lin Xi received a call from Lu Yunzhou, asking her to go to the hospital to help take care of Jiang Nian, and they rushed to the hospital immediately.
Upon seeing Lu Yunzhou covered in blood, Lin Xi burst into tears, and Song Xu was also terrified.
Upon learning the details, Song Xu's first reaction was to completely destroy the company.
If they dared to directly surround Lu Yunzhou today, they might kidnap Lin Xi next time. He can't let Lin Xi be in any danger.
After discussing it, Song Xu and Lu Yunzhou split up into two groups: Song Xu was responsible for investigating loopholes in Hongxing's operations, while Lu Yunzhou was responsible for investigating illegal activities.
With attacks from both sides, I don't believe Hung Hing won't collapse.
When Lu Yunzhou entered the ward, Jiang Nian was already sitting up, eating with a bowl in her hand.
He sighed. This girl was really strong. Despite suffering such a serious injury, it didn't stop her from eating at all.
"Brother, you're back!" Lin Xi asked hurriedly when she saw Lu Yunzhou enter. "Is the matter resolved?"
Lu Yunzhou nodded, then said to Zhou Ruolan and Lin Xi, "Mom, you and Xixi shouldn't go out for the next couple of days. Wait until things over there are completely resolved before you go out."
“Okay,” Zhou Ruolan was already used to this kind of life. When she first married Lu Zhentao, she also had to hide. “Then take care of yourself.”
Jiang Nian ate all the food Zhou Ruolan brought her. She put down her chopsticks and asked, "Should I hide too?"
She's injured and can't fight anymore; she's just a burden now.
Lu Yunzhou glanced at her and said, "You're in the hospital, where can you hide? I'll stay here with you."
Zhou Ruolan and Lin Xi, mother and daughter, exchanged a glance and stood up together; they felt it would be in the way if they stayed any longer.
"Yunzhou, Xixi and I will head back now. You stay here and take good care of Niannian. Call me if you need anything, and I'll have someone bring it over." Zhou Ruolan took Lin Xi's hand.
“Okay,” Lu Yunzhou saw them to the door and said to Song Xu, who was waiting outside, “Song Xu, I’m entrusting my mother and sister to your care.”
"Don't worry, Brother Yunzhou," Song Xu patted his chest, "I'll stay at your place tonight. I'll leave whenever you go back."
