"I checked the location and it's alright, I won't die! What kind of judgment do you guys have? Don't you know what's going on with your boss lately?!"
On the other end of the phone, Guan Shiyan unleashed a torrent of words, and Shi Jie listened with repeated nods.
"If he keeps doing this, no amount of medicine will work! If he continues to act so recklessly, tell him I'll stop his medication! It makes no difference whether he takes it or not now! Just arrest him and lock him up!"
"They'll behave once they're locked up!"
"He still dares to harm himself? I'll give him a huge silver bracelet and see how he manages to hurt himself!"
"Ah, right, right! What the officer said is all right..." Shi Jie glanced at Mu Yiran, who was being questioned by the police, pursed her lips, and ultimately did not reveal the real reason for Shi Youxi's injury.
It's just a bunch of empty praise, calling it an act of bravery!
They exposed the underground pornographic organization, setting a good example for the brothers in Shimen, and so on...
Guan Shiyan didn't want to listen to his nonsense, asked a few more questions, and even asked about Shi Youxi's parents before hanging up.
Shi Jie glanced at the man who was still unconscious in the intensive care unit and sighed helplessly.
This way.
The police asked Mu Yiran a few simple questions and then asked her to sign her name.
At the end of the corridor stood a group of people dressed in black, each with their own stern expression on their face. Some glared menacingly at the police, while others stared at Mu Yiran with sinister intent.
These are all people from the Shimen sect.
Their gazes toward Mu Yiran were filled with curiosity, but even more so with disdain and resentment.
The police officer pursed his lips, feeling puzzled for the first time that he didn't sense any hostility. So he asked the woman who had been being targeted:
"Regarding Mr. Shi's injuries... and the origin of that gun, although those people at the club admitted that it was their private possession, I hope that Mr. Shi can come and explain it clearly when he wakes up."
"Now that we know the source, there's no need to make things difficult for the injured person," Mu Yiran replied coldly.
Faced with the restless group behind them, the police officers felt ashamed and ultimately didn't speak as forcefully. They said what needed to be said and expressed their gratitude.
"Fortunately, the news leaked beforehand, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to investigate so thoroughly. Many of the escorts at those wcn have said they were coerced, but thankfully, they were all gathered in other rooms, so the reporters didn't get many photos. The matter has garnered a lot of attention online, and the higher-ups have ordered a thorough investigation. So, I'm very grateful for Mr. Shi's help."
Mu Yiran, who had been staring at the glass partition, slowly turned her head. "...You mean, he told you the news in advance?"
"Of course, if Mr. Shi hadn't delayed things, we wouldn't have been able to catch up."
"........"
It was all planned again…
Mu Yiran twitched the corner of her mouth and said nothing more.
Three hours later, Shi Youxi was transferred from the intensive care unit to his VIP king room.
When she saw the man consciously open his eyes in bed, Mu Yiran did not go forward. Instead, she stood to the side and stared straight at him. The man's gaze shifted, and he subconsciously looked in her direction.
The moment their eyes met, Mu Yiran blinked, turned her head, and left the ward.
"Madam!" Shijie caught up from behind.
"...how?"
Shi Jie glanced at Ai Ni and said, "You...you're leaving already? The boss just woke up..."
Mu Yiran remained silent.
Seeing her scratch her head and turn away, Shi Jie seemed to remember something, but then turned back to Mu Yiran. "I know I shouldn't say these things, but... these past few days, the boss hasn't slept at all. He wants to see Madam, but he's afraid you'll dislike him even more, so he only dares to pretend to be a passerby and walk around downstairs. Today, he was actually hiding in the bathroom spying on you..."
Ai Ni, standing beside him, glared at him with eyes as sharp as knives, and Shi Jie's lips trembled:
"I! I have no right to interfere in the boss and his wife's affairs! But... the boss has really been in a bad state lately!"
“You know he’s sick. He’s been taking more medication lately. This incident at the club has nothing to do with him, but he insists on getting involved because he wants to apologize to his wife. If he did something wrong, even if his wife hits or scolds him, she can’t just ignore him…”
I want to say more about the season.
He wanted to say how much of Huili's human chain Shi Youxi had caused the Shi Clan to lose this time, and how many of the Shi Clan's brothers had been subjected to crazy retaliation by their rivals because of Shi Youxi's actions.
Shi Jie had witnessed how Shi Youxi became the master of the Shi Clan. He had fought his way up this bloody path bit by bit, and now, for a woman who appeared out of nowhere in everyone's eyes, he almost fell off that position again.
Anyone who sees this will think it's not worth it.
But he couldn't say, and Shi Jie knew better than the other brothers what Shi Si's fate was.
How important was this woman, whom Shi Youxi had included in the Shi family's rules, to him? But ultimately, he favored Shi Youxi, so he still couldn't help but ask the seemingly indifferent woman:
"This shot went astray today. If it had hit...wouldn't you regret it, Madam?"
"........"
Ai Ni warned sternly: "The season!"
Shi Jie pursed her lips, "...I don't know why Madam and Boss quarreled, but I've been with Boss for almost six years, and I know that Helian Xin once took a bullet for Boss. Although Boss doesn't like her, she was indeed very good to Boss. But after Boss regained his memory, everything was reversed. He even went so far as to repay the life he owed Helian Xin to take revenge on her for you."
“Sometimes I really feel that you are like his brain cells. As long as he can breathe, he only thinks about you. To him, you control his mind and everything more than medicine.”
"Isn't it enough for you, Madam, that I've gone to such lengths to gain your forgiveness?"
"........"
"The boss really loves you, Madam; you're the only one he has..."
"So, could you please pretend to forgive him, considering how pitiful he is...?"
As Shijie spoke, she suddenly became a little aggrieved, "The boss has been so difficult to please lately!"
"I can tolerate being treated like a slave, but I also have to cross-dress as the lady to get him to take his medicine!" Shijie said, almost in tears.
Mu Yiran: "..............."
"Are you ever going to stop?!" Ai Ni felt ashamed for him.
Mu Yiran gave a ridiculously fake smile. "Thank you for telling me all this. I'll think about it carefully."
Seeing that she was really leaving this time, Shijie pressed, "Then! Madam, will you come to see him? Especially these last few days...?"
Mu Yiran didn't notice his hesitation and simply gave an irrelevant answer:
"Take good care of him."
"…All right."
It's a pity that the time has come. I wanted to stay a little longer, but Ai Ni kicked me out. Now I can only obediently go back to my ward and squat there.
Only when she was in the car did Mu Yiran have the energy to deal with her disheveled state.
But how pathetic was it?
She was covered in Shi Youxi's blood.
"This shot went astray today. If it had hit, wouldn't you regret it, Madam?"
"......."
How could I not regret it?
She said she would think about it carefully. Wasn't she also feeling regret and shame because she almost lost Shi Youxi?
But in the end, she was told that this was all part of Shi Youxi's plan.
She was tormented by this pre-arranged relationship, to the point that she didn't know how to continue moving forward with Shi Youxi.
...
Another day, Mu Yiran brought a lunchbox over.
She looked at the unconscious Shi Youxi at the door of the ward, hesitating whether to ask Shi Jie to take him in, when a person came out of the examination room across the hall. The two looked at each other and stopped what they were doing.
Jingzhi slowly closed the door, glanced at the ward behind Mu Yiran, and said after a few seconds of silence:
"Sister, it's been a long time."
“............”
Mu Yiran was still thinking about how to introduce herself, but now she doesn't have to.
Unaware of the hidden meaning in Lin Zhi's words, she simply asked with concern:
"Are you sick? Was your injury serious last time?"
However... Mu Yiran's gaze shifted to the sign at the entrance of the consultation room:
Department of Psychiatry...
Lin Zhi shook her head. "The minor bumps and bruises have healed long ago. If the president's people hadn't arrived in time, I probably would have had to lie in bed for a while. I heard about Helian Xin's situation. President, is he alright?"
Mu Yiran forced a smile. "...It's nothing."
Lin Zhi looked at her haggard face and the lunchbox she was carrying. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but didn't. She was no longer as lively and cheerful as before, taking the initiative to find topics. Instead, she was very quiet and aloof.
She politely said goodbye and was about to leave, but she hadn't taken more than a few steps when she heard Mu Yiran handing the lunchbox to someone else to take inside.
Mu Yiran didn't look at Shi Jie's hesitant face. She wanted to leave, but when she turned around, she bumped into Lin Zhi, who was walking back.
"how--"
"Aren't you going to ask me why I call myself Chairman Shi Youxi?" Lin Zhi asked, bewildered. Before Mu Yiran could answer, she continued:
"Why do you want to see him but won't go in?"
