Chapter 302 When did that man become her fiancé?
"However, this process can be a bit painful, so you'll have to bear with it."
The man turned pale with fright when he saw the iron pliers in his hand. He immediately put the gold coin in his mouth, and another bodyguard helped to pry his mouth open.
The driver, seeing the pliers being inserted into his mouth, was so terrified he wet himself. He struggled and cried out, "I...I'll talk! Someone paid me to run over people!"
Song Yanzhi waved his hand, and the two bodyguards released him, asking coldly, "Have you seen that person? How did he contact you?"
"I've never met him. I don't know where he got my phone number. We've always communicated by phone," the man said nervously.
"Bring him his phone," Song Yanzhi ordered.
Several bodyguards searched the ward and found it under his pillow. They handed it to him, and he glanced at the call log. It wasn't a number Shen Shaohui usually used.
How much money did he give you?
"He already transferred one million to me, but I was injured by your men, so I asked him for another five million. He said he'd give me the cash tomorrow," the man said, no longer daring to hide anything.
Why didn't he give it to you tonight?
"They said the bank was closed and I have to wait until tomorrow to collect it," the man explained.
I used to transfer money to him, but tomorrow I have to pay in cash? Shen Shaohui is actually a very stingy person; he'd be very reluctant to spend money on things.
Besides, with such a large family fortune, surely they have at least five million?
If he really intended to give it, why not do it tonight? Why wait until tomorrow?
She clearly intended to kill this man.
But since this man was injured by his own bodyguard, he could be framed later—Song Yanzhi meticulously calculated the Shen family's scheme.
"Fool, he won't give you any money. If you're so greedy, he'll come and kill you tonight."
Song Yanzhi glanced at him, smiled contemptuously, walked to the window, and discreetly clipped the miniature camera to the curtain.
"He wouldn't dare, would he? If I die, he'll be implicated too!" The man didn't believe him.
"Then you can stay here tonight." After saying that, he left with his men, taking the truck driver's phone with call and transfer records.

At the hospital.
Lu Qinghe was feeding Nan Xia chicken soup. Taking advantage of the man's absence, he said, "Didn't you say you wanted to repay my life-saving grace?"
"What do you want me to do?" she asked, looking at him.
"Will you marry me? You rejected me before because you were worried that you were already married, but now you have neither a husband nor a boyfriend, can you say yes?" he asked, stirring the soup in his bowl.
Nan Xia fell silent. In truth, she didn't have the kind of romantic feelings for him; she only considered him her best friend... and besides, she already had someone else in her heart.
Although she disliked Song Yanzhi and was very angry with him, she had to admit that he was always in her heart.
"Didn't you say you would repay me for saving your life? Now that I've made a request, you don't want to agree?"
Lu Qinghe could only force her in this way, thinking that once they got married and shared a bed, feelings would naturally develop.
Nan Xia glanced at him. She knew she had to repay the life-saving grace. But then she thought, "What difference does it make who I marry since I can't be with Song Yanzhi anyway?"
"Can you promise to be good to Zhouzhou and Qiaoqiao for the rest of your life?" she asked.
“Of course, I’ve always liked them,” he said immediately.
"If we get married, and I don't want to have any more children, can you accept that?"
Nanxia was worried that if Zhouzhou and Qiaoqiao had a child from the Lu family, they would be mistreated, since they were not related to the Lu family by blood.
Lu Qinghe frowned slightly. Of course he wanted to have his own biological child. The Lu family needed someone to inherit it; it couldn't be handed over to someone else, could it?
You can agree to her first, and whether or not you have children later is up to you.
Besides, those two children belong to the Song family, so the Song family will definitely adopt them, right?
“I can accept it. From now on, I will treat Zhouzhou and Qiaoqiao as my own children.”
"I think you should find a girl who has never been married," Nanxia advised him again, seeing that he had hesitated for so long.
"But I only love you! I'll agree to all your requests... Will you marry me?" He gazed at her earnestly.
Nanxia looked at him and nodded.
"You really agreed?!" Lu Qinghe immediately put down the bowl in his hand, held her hand tightly, and asked excitedly.
Nan Xia nodded again, "I hope you can keep your promise to me."
"Don't worry, I will do it."
As Lu Qinghe spoke, he suddenly leaned closer and deliberately gave her a deep kiss on her thin lips. It was just a simple kiss, but it made his blood boil and his heart race.
He had been waiting for this day for six years.
For the past six years, he has often fantasized about being intimate with her, wanting to possess this intelligent and aloof woman, and wanting to see what she looks like beneath him.
Four years ago, after getting drunk, he mistook his assistant for her and had a relationship with her. Fortunately, the assistant did not ask him to take responsibility and was willing to become Nan Xia's substitute and his secret lover.
He didn't like his assistant; he just used her as a substitute for Nan Xia to vent his frustrations. He was a normal man with normal physiological needs.
"I'm sorry, I'm still not used to it..." Nan Xia frowned, subconsciously raising her hand to push him away, not yet used to being intimate with him.
Lu Qinghe could only let go of her, saying that she would gradually get used to it. He then said to her, "Then after you are discharged from the hospital, shall we go straight back to New York to hold the wedding?"
He didn't want to wait any longer, fearing something might happen. It would be best to leave the city to avoid Song Yanzhi coming to snatch him away.
“I still have some personal grudges to settle in this city. After I’m done, I’ll go back to New York with you and we’ll get married,” Nan Xia said.
"What personal grudge is it? Tell me, and I'll help you handle it," he asked curiously.
"I want to handle the Nan family's affairs myself. Don't interfere, lest you bring trouble upon yourself."
"Of course I'm not afraid of any trouble. If you need me to do anything, just ask. I'm your fiancé now, so don't treat me like an outsider, okay?"
Just as Lu Qinghe finished speaking while holding her hand, the ward door suddenly opened—Song Yanzhi walked in. He had heard what the man had just said.
When did that man become her fiancé?
They actually shook hands? The air seemed to be frozen by invisible ice, and an extremely oppressive and cold aura uncontrollably emanated from his body.
The aura wasn't an outward display of violence, but rather a restrained sharpness, like a cold pool, spreading silently and causing the surrounding temperature to drop several degrees.
His aura made people hesitant to approach him.
His gaze was sharp as a hawk's, unwavering, fixed intently on Nanxia—
His gaze was so deep and intense, it seemed to pierce through flesh and reach the deepest part of her heart, revealing all her thoughts clearly.
