Chapter 920 The Gossip Master is Here
In the intensive care unit.
The nurse has already arranged for Zhong Yi to be transferred to another ward and reapplied medicine to the wound.
He was shot twice, and the wounds were wrapped in gauze. He wore the hospital gown casually, so as not to affect the wounds.
When Qiao Xi walked in, she saw him leaning on the hospital bed.
Those beautiful, affectionate eyes were so bright, but seemed unfocused.
He looked towards the ward door when he heard the noise: "Is it Qiao Xi?"
Even if you can't see it.
His ears registered the sound of her footsteps.
Qiao Xi walked up to him and said, "It's me."
Zhong Yi pulled the corners of her lips, and the smile on her face had a kind of broken beauty, "You see, I didn't lie to you. I said I would survive. The doctor said that my physical condition is not bad, 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 in a light-hearted tone, "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, using everything I have learned in my life!"
"What nonsense! Of course I believe you!"
Zhong Yi didn't hesitate at all, "I have never doubted you. It is an honor for me to be your patient. Will it make Huo Xingzhou angry to death?"
"He's not that mean."
Qiao Xi said softly, "I brought you wontons and millet porridge, which one do you want to eat?"
"What did you eat?"
"ravioli."
"Then I'll do the same as you." Zhong Yi acted very calm, no different from usual.
It was unclear whether he was strong and fearless or just pretending. At this moment, even Qiao Xi was a little confused.
She took the bowl of wontons and fed it 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 store to eat. It will definitely taste better."
"That's good too."
Zhong Yi was not very scared because he thought he was going to die, and now he was lucky to have his life back. 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 a love-brained person.
In fact, even though he didn't say it, Wan Jiang couldn't help cursing him in his heart when he saw the sincere smile on his face. His young master just loves to give himself away, there's 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 was not released?"
"Boss Huo said not to make it public, so as to make them angry. It will also help us catch some dishonest people under our command and kick them out at that time."
"He did the right thing. Where's Zhong Lingxiao?" Zhong Yi knew that he was still alive, and it must be that Huo Xingzhou arrived at the last moment. Otherwise, according to Zhong Lingxiao's temper, he would not give him a chance to survive if he wanted to see his body alive or dead.
"His legs were disabled, and he was taken away by Mr. Huo. We don't know 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 your health now."
Zhong Yi was covered in wounds and ran to Zhong Lingxiao, not knowing who was in a worse condition.
"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 lady?"
"You won't tell me unless I ask?"
Wan Jiang said with some resentment: "The old lady has returned to her old house to recuperate. Doctor Qiao said that she will not die for the time being. He called me many times to find out about your situation and seemed to be very worried about you."
"Didn't he ask Zhong Lingxiao?"
"I did. Mr. Huo said before that the old lady wanted to ask him to spare Zhong Lingxiao's life, saying that even if his legs were crippled, he wouldn't be a threat."
A look of sarcasm appeared on Zhong Yi's face.
Zhong Lingxiao had done so many things, but the old lady still wanted to spare his life.
Bloodline inheritance is so important to him!
No wonder the Zhong family declined after he became too weak to take power.
"Next time he calls me, I will tell him that I am awake and I want Zhong Lingxiao to die. He can choose between the two. If he wants to spare Zhong Lingxiao's life, then I will destroy the Zhong family."
"yes."
Wan Jiang sensed Zhong Yi's hatred for the Zhong family from these words.
The Zhong family was never what he wanted.
It was the old woman 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 them."
"good."
Zhong Yi's attitude towards Qiao Xi can be described as pleasant and friendly.
Qiao Xi gave him something to eat and then took his pulse.
Qi and blood are severely deficient.
It will harm your life.
It will take years of nourishment to recover as much as possible, Qiao Xi looked a little solemn.
Zhong Yi's foundation is not as good as he said. He has been hurt countless times. He suffered some losses before, and this time it was even more serious.
But Qiao Xi said, "It's no big deal. I will cure you. I will cook medicinal food for you starting tomorrow. I will cook 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 business aside for now. I... Huo Xingzhou and I will do our best to protect it for you."
Zhong Yi agreed with everything, 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 disappeared, and he called out in a cold tone: "Wan Jiang."
"Young Master, I'm here! I've decided to ask the nurse to add another bed so that I can take care of you from now on." Wan Jiang looked at Zhong Yi with some heartache and said, he would rather be the one who couldn't see.
"Don't be so hypocritical. Read me today's financial report."
Zhong Yi would not put all his hopes on others. Even if he couldn't see something, he could still try his best to grasp the situation in the imperial capital.
Wan Jiang is quite loyal and can be his eyes.
Wan Jiang carefully took out his mobile phone, looked through the financial section, and read out the report sentence by sentence.
Zhong Yi extracted two key pieces of information from it, and the stock price of the Zhong family fell.
The Pei family suffered even worse!
It is estimated that what happened yesterday will not be spread outside, but the internal chaos will be directly reflected in the stock price.
"Any other news?"
"Yes! The Liu family of Haicheng is secretly buying up shares of our two families at a low price. Also, the second son of the Xu family has taken over all the medicinal plantations, unified the prices of medicinal materials across the country, and hit those opportunistic medicinal material dealers. Finally, there is 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, "The real gossip master is here."
