Chapter 699: Xingzhou, I know his identity
"Doctor, how is our Master Zhong?"
Wan Jiang rushed forward in a hurry and accidentally pushed Qiao Xi away. He then stood beside the mobile bed and watched the unconscious Zhong Yi.
The man in the white coat had a tired but somewhat happy expression on his face: "He lost too much blood and needs to rest for a while. Fortunately, you brought him here in time. If you had delayed any longer, he would probably have died. Master Zhong is weak and has been seriously injured before..."
It looks like a young body, but it is already full of holes.
"Then what do we need to pay attention to? How should we arrange our diet and daily routine?" Wan Jiang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that his life was saved.
"I'll write you a note later. You should eat more light, blood-tonifying, and qi-nourishing medicinal foods at home. I think this Doctor Qiao is amazing. If it weren't for her acupuncture to stop the bleeding, I probably wouldn't have made it this far."
The man in the white coat had naturally heard of Qiao Xi's reputation. He was the champion of the needle trial conference. Everyone in the medical system had heard of him.
He added, "Young Master Zhong has damaged his foundation this time. If he doesn't recover properly, his lifespan may be shortened, and he will suffer in the future."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, doctor!"
"You're welcome. This is my duty."
The doctors and nurses in white coats pushed Zhong Yi's bed away.
Wan Jiang fell a few steps behind, looking at Qiao Xi who was taking off her mask and protective suit, feeling a little hesitant.
Traditional Chinese medicine focuses on conditioning.
As the apprentice of the traditional Chinese medicine doctor Cheng Han, Qiao Xi has superb medical skills.
In the entire imperial capital, the person least likely to have bad intentions towards Young Master Zhong must be Qiao Xi!
But the atmosphere in the corridor was tense.
Wan Jiang opened his mouth but still didn't say anything.
It’s not appropriate tonight. Let’s bring it up tomorrow.
Thinking of this, he followed the bed back to the ward.
And in the corridor.
Qiao Xi looked at Huo Xingzhou and slowly walked forward.
Cold fingers hooked around his, and a hoarse, soft voice rang out: "Sorry."
Feel sorry.
She made her own decision.
She was also sorry that she ended up dragging him into this.
Huo Xingzhou withdrew his finger and frowned as he looked at her dress, stained with Zhong Yi's blood. The suit jacket was also missing. Perhaps it had been left behind in the rush, his voice was very calm.
"Go home or stay?"
He gave her another chance to choose.
Qiao Xi's body was cold, and she said softly, "Go home."
Old Chen and Zhou Yu on the side breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Qiao Xi did not say that she wanted to stay.
Otherwise this jealous guy will go crazy.
Although Huo Xingzhou appears to be so calm, he also has a crazy side.
Qiao Xi was lucky enough not to have seen it.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere between the two, Zhou Yu tried to smooth things over: "Sister-in-law, you don't know that Huo Er learned about your stay in Thirteen Bay today, so he directly abandoned the banquet and ordered me to go out directly."
"Zhou Yu, you've talked too much." Huo Xingzhou's expression was cold, with a hidden warning in it.
Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly, "Sister-in-law, let's hurry to the car. You're wearing such thin clothes, don't catch a cold. Has Shu Xue called you recently?"
He tried to change the subject.
Qiao Xi shook her head: "No."
She was still keeping an eye on Huo Xingzhou's movements and noticed him walking out.
She hurried to catch up.
She was wearing the hospital's uniformly distributed sterilized slippers, and her high heels had long been left in the warehouse at Shisanwan Wharf.
The outfit is very confusing and messy.
Zhou Yu followed her and said as they walked, "Shu Xue said her aid mission in Africa might end early. Their medical team performed very well and might be able to return for the New Year this year. Then we can celebrate the New Year together..."
"Really?"
When Qiao Xi heard that Shu Xue was going back to China for the New Year, she felt less disappointed.
"Really! If I have time, I'll take the time to bring her to the capital to get together with you. She said she misses you very much, but she's always worried that calling will delay your work. The time difference between the two places is quite large, so she won't have a chance to talk to you in detail."
"It's my fault. I haven't been able to find time to contact her lately."
Cheng Han and Cheng Qingnian made her dizzy.
Now there is one more thing I like.
Qiao Xi really wished she could be split into two halves to deal with so many things.
After the group walked out of the private hospital, Huo Xingzhou instructed his bodyguards to stay and continue guarding the place, and not to leak any information no matter who came to inquire.
Then he got into the car.
Old Chen opened the other door and asked Qiao Xi to get in.
Qiao Xi thanked him in a low voice.
She sat in the back seat, and the warm air inside the car made her skin numb.
From the freezing December wind, I suddenly arrived in the warm, enclosed car.
Alternate hot and cold.
She was unable to adapt for a moment and could only rub the cold surface of her skin with her hands.
Gradually, my whole body warmed up.
She breathed a sigh of relief silently.
The car started and drove towards the garden villa.
But along the way, Huo Xingzhou beside him kept his head down and replied to text messages, his slender fingers tapping on the phone screen.
He didn't even look at her.
Qiao Xi pursed her dry lips and stretched out her left hand to place it on the leather cushion.
Her fingers moved towards him, finally tugging gently at his shirt.
Test, be careful.
And with a bit of guilt.
Huo Xingzhou didn't take his eyes off his phone. He simply said, "I still have a lot of messes to deal with. Luckily, Xie Xubai and Sun Weimeng are here tonight to support the Tianyuan Group banquet. Zhong Yi's affairs are not over yet. Our Huo family is tied to him..."
His tone was calm, and there was no anger in it.
But.
Qiao Xi knew that he was angry, very angry.
Her fingers couldn't help but loosen his shirt and pull it back.
She felt a little guilty, thinking that most of these messes were caused by her.
Huo Xingzhou frowned, with a look of depression between his brows.
He put down his phone and held her wrist with his strong hand.
It seems to be an explanation, but it makes the matter even more obvious.
"Even if tonight's incident hadn't happened, I would have faced off against Zhong Lingxiao sooner or later. The Zhong family has a strong foundation, and once he takes power, he will definitely take drastic measures against our Huo family. What happened tonight only brought that day forward. We, the Huo family, stand on Zhong Yi's side."
"Qiao Xi, do you understand what I said?"
Qiao Xi nodded blankly.
"You... don't have anything you want to ask me?" she asked with a dry throat.
"What about you? Don't you have anything you want to tell me?"
"I……"
A myriad of thoughts came to mind.
Qiao Xi didn't know where to start.
She had experienced many ups and downs tonight, and she still felt scared when she thought of the enemies who were chasing her frantically.
And the secrets she revealed.
Qiao Xi bit her lip and suppressed her mixed emotions.
Looking at Huo Xingzhou, she finally said what was stuck in her heart.
"I know Zhong Yi's identity, and I also know that you have been hiding it from me."
