Chapter 101 I saved Shuzhi, no need for your thanks.
When Qin Shuzhi opened her eyes again, she found that the person beside her was no longer there.
She slept even more soundly than Mr. Shi.
After Qin Shuzhi got up and washed up, she walked out of the room and saw a man in a bathrobe standing by the corridor railing making a phone call.
Hearing the noise, he turned to look at her, then whispered to the person on the other end of the phone, "Do as I just said."
When Qin Shuzhi walked to his side, Shi Yuanxing had already hung up the phone. "Did you sleep well?"
"Um."
Qin Shuzhi asked, "Why didn't you sleep a little longer?"
Shi Yuanxing raised his hand and pinched her fair and delicate cheek, teasing her with a smile, "I'm not a lazy pig."
Qin Shuzhi playfully slapped his hand, and then heard the phone in his other hand ring.
Qin Shuzhi watched as he answered the call and spoke to the person in fluent foreign language.
Although Qin Shuzhi couldn't understand the meaning, he knew that he was speaking Russian.
His voice was magnetic and captivating, and his speech was fluent and natural. Qin Shuzhi looked at him with a hint of admiration in her eyes.
After Shi Yuanxing finished speaking with the person on the other end of the phone and hung up, he proactively told her, "It was Shadow; she gave me a report..."
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes and noticed that the woman was staring at him absentmindedly. Shi Yuanxing paused, then pinched her cheek. "What are you thinking about?"
Qin Shuzhi suddenly came to her senses, "No, it's nothing."
Her ears burned a little, and as if to hide her embarrassment, she quickly changed the subject, "Um, why didn't you tell me about arranging bodyguards for me?"
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Shi Yuanxing explained, "I just... didn't want you to feel uncomfortable or uneasy, so I had the shadow protect you in the dark."
Qin Shuzhi looked at him, her heart filled with emotion.
He not only specially selected female bodyguards for her, but also carefully considered her feelings.
She really dislikes being followed around all the time, as it makes her feel like she's being monitored.
But when Shi Yuanxing arranged such a bodyguard for her, she didn't feel any aversion.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Shi Yuanxing carefully observed her expression, "Are you... angry?"
Qin Shuzhi asked with a smile, "My husband is worried about my safety and arranged bodyguards for me. What's there for me to be angry about?"
"You're not upset that I kept it from you?"
Qin Shuzhi said, "Didn't you just say it was to make me feel more comfortable? Why should I blame you?"
Hearing her say that, Shi Yuanxing breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Shuzhi's beautiful eyes flickered, "Since she's hidden in the shadows, you're going to name this girl 'Shadow'?"
That's way too casual.
"Hmm, I think the name is quite fitting."
Shi Yuanxing said, "When we hired her, her Chinese wasn't very good either, and she thought the name sounded nice."
Qin Shuzhi: "..."
"Then why would you choose someone who doesn't speak Chinese well?" she asked, genuinely curious.
"Because she excels in everything except Chinese."
This was someone he personally selected, believing she was the most suitable person to be placed by Qin Shuzhi's side.
Shi Yuanxing added, "She's not a very talkative person. Although her Chinese isn't very fluent yet, she can definitely understand it."
Qin Shuzhi nodded, "I also quite like this girl; she seems very genuine."
Shi Yuanxing pulled her into his arms. "Don't worry, she won't affect your normal life, and she won't appear in front of you unless there's a reason."
"Uh-huh."
"Shen Yichen is in the hospital?" Shi Yuanxing suddenly asked.
"yes."
Shi Yuanxing looked down at her, "Did he... say or do anything to you?"
"He wanted me to stay and take care of him last night, and he even wanted me to make him soup. Humph, of course I wouldn't agree."
Upon hearing this, a glint of light appeared in Shi Yuanxing's eyes.
"Anyway, I gave him money, hired a caregiver for him, and paid his medical bills, so I won't go see him again."
Shi Yuanxing looked at her and said, "I'm going to see him this afternoon. Do you want to come with me?"
Qin Shuzhi looked at him in surprise, "Why are you going to find him?"
Shi Yuanxing smiled enigmatically. "He saved my wife, so as his husband, of course I have to go and thank him in person, right?"
*
In the afternoon, Qin Shuzhi still accompanied Shi Yuanxing to the hospital.
Although Mr. Shi came to express his gratitude, she was always worried that he would be bullied by Shen Yichen.
It's more reassuring to have someone with me.
The moment Qin Shuzhi appeared in the ward, Shen Yichen felt a surge of joy, but the excitement on his face faded when his gaze fell upon the person behind her…
His face instantly turned dark.
What are you doing bringing him here?
He spoke to Qin Shuzhi in a muffled voice.
Shi Yuanxing didn't seem to care about his lack of welcome at all, and even pulled Qin Shuzhi's hand to sit down on the sofa next to him.
"Mr. Shen was hospitalized last night to save my wife. As her husband, it's only natural that I had to come over in person to... offer my condolences."
They claimed to be there to offer condolences, but they didn't bring any gifts.
Shen Yichen said coldly, "I saved Shuzhi, you don't need to thank me."
Shi Yuanxing sat on the sofa, holding Qin Shuzhi's hand and playing with it. "President Shen is not married yet, so he may not understand the concept of 'husband and wife as one'."
Just as Shen Yichen was about to speak, he heard him say again,
“I was away on a business trip abroad when my wife was robbed in the city. When I heard this news, I even suspected that someone had done it on purpose.”
Looking at the person on the bed whose expression had clearly changed, Shi Yuanxing had a smile on his face, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"Since my wife is still safe and sound, how could I not come and personally thank President Shen?"
The two men stared at each other, their emotions somewhat ambiguous, yet seemingly sharing a tacit understanding.
Shi Yuanxing didn't believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world.
Is it possible that the surveillance cameras in this section of the road are broken?
Coincidentally, Shen Yichen appeared there?
The strangest thing is that before he returned to China, he had someone investigate the matter immediately. They investigated all night but found no trace of it. The two robbers were as if they had never existed, leaving no trace whatsoever.
But it is precisely because of these coincidences, and the fact that nothing is left to trace, that it proves even more that someone with ulterior motives did this on purpose.
With Shen Yichen's power and methods, it would be easy for him to do something and then erase the traces, especially since he was abroad and was a step behind in terms of information and actions in Jiangcheng.
Unfortunately, he had no evidence. If he were to make his suspicions without any proof, Shen Yichen would definitely deny it and would even tell Zhizhi that he was petty and deliberately slandering him.
Qin Shuzhi glanced back and forth between the two men whose gazes were subtly intertwined, and finally her gaze settled on Shen Yichen, her brows furrowed in thought.
The atmosphere in the ward was tense. After a moment, Shen Yichen asked in a cold voice, "What does President Shi mean?"
"It doesn't mean anything; it's only polite to reciprocate."
Shi Yuanxing twitched his lips. "Thanks to President Shen for what happened last night, of course I have to return the favor with a gift today."
Qin Shuzhi sensed the chill in Shi Yuanxing's tone; there was not a trace of gratitude in it.
Shen Yichen's face was grim as he said, enunciating each word clearly, "No need."
Shi Yuanxing said, "No, President Shen will definitely like my gift."
Seeing that he said those words but didn't seem to be planning to take out any so-called gift, Qin Shuzhi couldn't help but lean closer and whisper, "Where's the gift?"
Shi Yuanxing reached out and rubbed her head. "Don't worry, baby, you'll see it soon."
