The air in the ward smelled of disinfectant, and under the dim yellow light...
Jingmin's eyelashes trembled slightly as he regained consciousness.
Amidst the excited clamor, his eyes remained vacant, devoid of any emotion.
Jingmin lay weak and pale in his hospital bed.
The low hum of the ventilator echoed in the quiet ward.
Everyone in the ward watched him silently, as if waiting for something.
But Jingmin only turned his head slightly.
His eyes swept around, as if checking everything around him or searching for something.
But his gaze didn't linger on anyone.
Mingxiu immediately understood what was going on.
His voice was choked with emotion as he spoke.
"Miss Chu...did not leave with us in the end."
Jing Min's eyes twitched slightly, then slowly closed.
After a few seconds,
His lips moved slightly, and he managed to utter a few words with difficulty:
"Go check, where is it?"
His voice was deep and hoarse, but calm.
After those four words were spoken, the ward fell silent.
The initial joy and surprise sparked by Jing Min waking up seemed to vanish instantly.
Instead, there was an indescribable heaviness.
Yan Zhou coughed lightly, breaking the deathly silence.
He said softly:
"Mr. Jing, you've just woken up, please rest for a bit. We'll leave now so as not to disturb you."
Jing Min did not respond, his eyes slightly closed, his expression indifferent and unchanged.
Outside in the corridor, Mingxiu, who had been shoved out, still stood there in a daze.
Somewhat dissatisfied with Jing Min's instructions earlier,
He was taking a step to go outside again.
Suddenly, Yan Zhou and Li Yan blocked their way.
Why are you stopping me?
Mingxiu's tone was somewhat impatient, her eyes filled with helplessness and resentment.
Li Yan's expression was indifferent.
"Aren't you going to do what President Jing just instructed?"
Mingxiu panicked, her emotions instantly spiraling out of control. Her hands clenched into fists, and her voice rose several decibels.
It was almost a desperate shout.
"President Jing is sick and his mind isn't clear, don't you guys know that?"
"That woman admitted it herself. If it weren't for the tracking information on her, President Jing would never have been injured like this."
"And...that's not all, she actually openly cheated on President Jing!"
"She's having an affair with Zhou Heng!"
"So...Mr. Jing is still going to go see her?"
Yan Zhou and Li Yan exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with complex emotions, and they were slightly shocked.
Li Yan's lips twitched slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but then he hesitated.
Although Mingxiu is simple-minded, she is not one to lie.
It seems to be true.
Moreover, they did indeed see Chu Wuyang and Zhou Heng holding hands intimately.
However, he spent quite a considerable amount of time with the two of them.
I really can't understand how Chu Wuyang could abandon President Jing and get together with Zhou Heng without any warning.
Even if they were to abandon President Jing, they couldn't possibly choose Zhou Heng, who's already embroiled in so much trouble, could they?
No matter what, Yang Jinchu is the best choice.
Thinking of this, he paused for a moment.
He glanced unconsciously at the ward; he wouldn't normally dare to think like this.
But this is really unreasonable.
There's no reason for Chu Wuyang to flee with the escaped Zhou Heng, right?
There may be hidden secrets they are unaware of.
And it seems that President Jing had already guessed it.
After a moment of silence,
He glanced at Mingxiu indifferently.
"Alright, there might be some hidden story here that we don't know about,"
"Besides, if Mr. Jing is willing, then no matter what, your wife is still Mr. Jing's wife."
"As for you and me, we are just subordinates, we just need to follow orders and protect President Jing's safety!"
He paused, then emphasized his tone.
"Even if Mr. Jing were to lose his life for his wife one day, it's none of your business!"
Mingxiu retorted with a face full of dissatisfaction.
"Why can't we do what we say?"
"If that day ever comes, I will definitely fight to the death to avenge President Jing!"
Yan Zhou glanced at his watch and interjected,
"Alright, stop arguing here. Let's go check on Parker's medical plan."
Li Yan's expression turned serious.
"Is it tricky?"
Yan Zhou nodded, his eyes filled with worry.
"The other wounds are fine; they've already been treated and the bullets removed. But the one in the chest... we don't dare to remove it rashly."
"Fortunately, President Jing has woken up,"
"Parker said yesterday that if he wakes up today, he'll be considered alive, and the surgery to remove the bullet from his chest can be arranged immediately."
He patted Li Yan on the shoulder.
"I believe Jing will pull through."
Three days have passed.
Chu Wuyang was trapped inside the castle and not allowed to leave.
They didn't know what was happening outside, nor did they know if Jingmin was out of danger.
Her temper grew increasingly worse; she was always finding fault and causing trouble, and nothing could make her happy.
Even the smallest detail became an excuse for her to cause trouble.
For example, if the food didn't suit her taste, she would yell at the maid:
"How come you can't even cook a meal properly?"
Whenever this happened, Zhou Heng would always smile gently and listen silently.
There was not a trace of impatience in his eyes.
Instead, his face was full of calm and indulgence, as if all her willfulness was insignificant.
Chu Wuyang sat at the dining table, coldly scrutinizing Zhou Heng across from her.
Zhou Heng remained calm and composed, holding a bowl of soup, a slight smile playing on his lips.
“These are truffles that I had specially arranged to be flown in from France. You should like them.”
His voice was so gentle it seemed almost excessively patient.
Wu Yang snorted coldly, his heart filled with disgust.
She stared at the plate of truffles, her expression unchanged, barely managing to suppress the urge to roll her eyes.
