Chapter 920 The Gossip Master is Here
In the intensive care unit.
The nurse has already completed the procedures for transferring Zhong Yi to another ward and reapplied medicine to the wound.
He had been shot twice, and the wounds were wrapped in gauze. He wore the hospital gown casually, so as not to disturb the wounds.
When Qiao Xi walked in, she saw him leaning on the hospital bed.
Those beautiful, affectionate eyes were so bright, but they seemed unfocused.
Hearing the noise, he looked towards the ward door: "Is that Qiao Xi?"
Even if you can't see it.
His ears remembered the sound of her footsteps.
Qiao Xi walked up to him and said, "It's me."
Zhong Yi pulled the corners of his lips, and the smile on his face was actually a kind of broken beauty. "See, I didn't lie to you. I said I would survive. The doctor said that my physical condition is still good, and the wounds on my body will heal soon."
Qiao Xi's eyes turned red.
Tears fell silently.
She wiped her cheek vigorously and said lightly, "You are really amazing."
"I have something I can't let go of."
Qiao Xi reached out and held his slightly cold hand. "Ayi, do you believe me? I will heal you with all I have learned in my life!"
"What nonsense! Of course I believe you!"
Zhong Yi said without hesitation, "I have never doubted you. It is an honor for me to be your patient. Will this piss Huo Xingzhou off to death?"
"He's not that stingy."
Qiao Xi said softly, "I brought you wontons and millet porridge. Which one do you want?"
"What are you eating?"
"ravioli."
"Then I'll do the same as you." Zhong Yi acted very calmly, no different from usual.
It was unclear whether he was truly strong and fearless, or if he was just pretending. Even Qiao Xi couldn't see through him at this moment.
She took the bowl of wontons and fed them to Zhong Yi's mouth spoonful by spoonful.
These wontons have been stored for too long and are a bit clumpy.
"When you are discharged from the hospital, I will take you to the restaurant to eat. It will definitely taste better."
"That's good too."
Zhong Yi didn't have much fear in his heart, because he thought he was going to die, and now he was lucky to have a life. Moreover, he could naturally get some attention from Qiao Xi.
He thinks it's worth it.
If Wan Jiang knew what he was thinking, he would definitely complain that he was in love.
Even though he didn't say it, Wan Jiang couldn't help but curse him in his heart, looking at the genuine smile on his face. His young master just loved to pay for his wealth, there was no hope for him.
"Young Master, when you were unconscious, the Pei family sent someone to assassinate you. They probably wanted to test whether you were dead or not. If not, they would kill you directly." Wan Jiang stood aside and reported the situation.
"My message wasn't released?"
"Boss Huo said not to make it public, to make them jump. This will also allow us to catch some of the dishonest people under our command and kick them out when the time comes."
"He did the right thing. Where's Zhong Lingxiao?" Zhong Yi knew he was still alive; Huo Xingzhou must have arrived at the last moment. Otherwise, given Zhong Lingxiao's temper, he would have wanted to see him alive or dead, so he wouldn't have given him a chance.
"His legs are broken, and he was taken away by Mr. Huo. We don't know exactly where he was taken. He said he would hand him over to you when you wake up, but I think you should take good care of yourself for now."
Zhong Yi was covered in injuries and ran to Zhong Lingxiao, and it was unclear who was worse off.
"oh."
Zhong Yi nodded obediently and took another bite of wonton.
He thought the wontons were even more delicious.
Wan Jiang asked tentatively, "Why don't you ask the old man?"
"You won't tell me unless I ask?"
Wan Jiang said somewhat sadly, "Grandpa has returned to the old house to recuperate. Doctor Qiao said he won't die for the time being. He called me many times to find out about your condition and seemed very worried about you."
"Didn't he ask Zhong Lingxiao?"
"I did. Mr. Huo said earlier that the old man wanted to ask him to spare Zhong Lingxiao's life, saying that he wouldn't pose any threat if his legs were crippled."
A look of irony appeared on Zhong Yi's face.
Zhong Lingxiao had done so many things, but the old man still wanted to spare his life.
Bloodline inheritance is so important to him!
No wonder the Zhong family declined more and more after he became too weak to take power.
"Next time he calls, tell him I'm awake and I want Zhong Lingxiao dead. He has a choice: if he wants to spare Zhong Lingxiao's life, then I'll destroy the Zhong family."
"yes."
Wan Jiang could sense Zhong Yi's hatred for the Zhong family from these words.
The Zhong family was never what he wanted.
It was the old man who forced him to take this path.
Qiao Xi paused and changed the subject: "Tianyunzhai has some good side dishes, very refreshing. I'll get you some, you can try it."
"good."
Zhong Yi's attitude towards Qiao Xi can be described as pleasant.
After Qiao Xi gave him something to eat, she took his pulse.
Severe deficiency of Qi and blood.
It will harm your lifespan.
It would take years of nourishment to restore the condition as much as possible. Qiao Xi looked a little solemn.
Zhong Yi's foundation wasn't as good as he claimed; he'd been injured countless times. He'd already been a bit weak before, and this time it was even worse.
But Qiao Xi said, "It's no big deal. I will cure you. Starting tomorrow, I will make medicinal food for you. I will do it myself."
First of all, the patient must build up his or her confidence.
Zhong Yi smiled and said, "Okay, I really miss the medicinal food you made."
"Then you have to be obedient and stay in the hospital. Don't bother doing anything else. Put the Zhong family's assets aside for now. Huo Xingzhou and I will do our best to protect them for you."
Zhong Yi said yes, but he had other plans in his mind.
He coaxed Qiao Xi for a while and finally coaxed her away.
The smile on his face finally faded, and he called out in a cold tone, "Wan Jiang."
"Young Master, I'm here! I decided to ask the nurse to add another bed so that I can stay with you from now on." Wan Jiang looked at Zhong Yi with some heartache and said, he would rather not see it.
"Stop being so pretentious and read me today's financial report."
Zhong Yi would not put all his hopes in the hands of others. Even though he couldn't see anything, he could still try his best to grasp the situation in the imperial capital.
Wan Jiang is still loyal and can be his eyes.
Wan Jiang took out his mobile phone very seriously, looked through the financial section, and read out the report sentence by sentence.
Zhong Yi extracted two key pieces of information from it: the Zhong family’s stock price fell.
The Pei family suffered even worse!
What happened yesterday probably won’t get out, but the internal chaos will be directly reflected in the stock price.
"Any other news?"
"Yes! The Liu family of Haicheng is secretly acquiring shares from both of our companies at a low price. Also, the second young master of the Xu family has already taken over all the medicinal herb plantations, standardizing medicinal herb prices across the country and cracking down on those opportunistic medicinal herb dealers. Finally, there's another piece of gossip..."
"What gossip?"
Knock knock.
Wan Jiang was about to talk about gossip when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He took one look and muttered, "Here comes the gossip master."
