After giving Cui Yue a cursory glance, Madam Shen prepared to return.
Chen Si, standing nearby, looked anxious and immediately grabbed Madam Chen's hand: "Mom, will Cui Yue be alright?"
"What business is it of yours? You weren't the one who hit someone."
At this point, Madam Shen rolled her eyes and added, "Even if the Cui family wants to hold someone accountable, they should go after Lu Zheng. It has nothing to do with you, so don't overthink it."
Hearing this, Chen Si felt a little relieved and nodded: "Yes, Mom is right."
Hearing this, Madam Shen glanced back at Cui Yue lying on the hospital bed, then took Chen Si's hand and left.
On the other side, after Qiao Zhen and Lu Zheng returned, Qiao Zhen couldn't put her mind at ease, thinking about the problems that had arisen in Lu Zheng's company. It seemed that the heavy weight in her heart still hadn't been lifted.
"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
Seeing how worried she was, Lu Zheng couldn't help but hug her and explain, "When I was investigating Qiao Yun before, I found out that she was pretending to be weak while actually being strong, so I've always been wary of her. I just didn't expect that she would actually use you to complete her plan."
At this point, Lu Zheng's expression turned somewhat cold.
Using his closest and dearest person as a pretext, Qiao Yun really knows how to manipulate people.
However, what Qiao Yun didn't expect was that if the plan failed, she would face an endless abyss.
"Then what……"
Qiao Zhen looked up at Lu Zheng and noticed that his expression was getting colder and colder. She couldn't help but ask with a worried look.
"As far as I know, Qiao Yun couldn't have orchestrated such a grand scheme on her own, so I want to see who the boss behind her is."
At this point, Lu Zheng gently stroked Qiao Zhen's hair again and said, "So I decided to play along and see what Qiao Yun would do when my company was facing bankruptcy."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but worry, but seeing Lu Zheng's confident expression, she couldn't help but ask again.
"So, did they catch that boss?"
"It's no use. Qiao Yun is just his tool. The real boss won't show himself; he'll just hide even deeper. But this time, what I need to do is make him realize that I'm not someone to be trifled with."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded, then smiled and said, "I was so worried about you these past two days, thank goodness you're alright!"
"Don't worry, not just anyone can trip me up so easily, and I'm not that stupid."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen nodded, then recalled what had happened today and felt a pang of bitterness.
"The Cui family is not someone to be trifled with. Now that you've offended them, they'll definitely come after you, right?"
Lu Zheng shook his head indifferently: "When soldiers come, we'll block them; when water comes, we'll dam it. I, Lu Zheng, won't back down because of the Cui family."
"Besides, for someone like Cui Yue, sending him to the ICU is already giving him face."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but laugh. Looking at Lu Zheng's handsome profile, she was moved and couldn't help but kiss him.
Lu Zheng was taken aback at first, but then he realized what was happening and immediately turned his face back to her, silencing her with a kiss.
"Next time, just kiss me on the lips."
Lu Zheng held Qiao Zhen's head tightly, his delicate kisses seeming to draw all the oxygen from her.
Qiao Zhen sank deeper and deeper into his embrace...
The next day, when Qiao Zhen went to work, she found that the company had fully returned to normal.
After the incident, many employees switched to other companies.
However, Lu Zheng didn't blame them. He still settled their wages and paid them back bonuses.
When Qiao Zhen returned to her workstation, she found that Qiao Yun was no longer there, and she couldn't help but feel a little distracted.
"Qiao Zhen, you guys scared me to death these past few days. Luckily, the company is fine."
Just as she was lost in thought, Song Shiyi suddenly walked up to her side, looking at her with concern.
Qiao Zhen was somewhat surprised to see Song Shiyi. She hadn't expected that Song Shiyi would still be working at Lu Zheng's company after what had happened.
As if sensing Qiao Zhen's surprise, Song Shiyi stuck out her tongue and said coquettishly.
"Oh dear, my family is very wealthy, I only come to work to pass the time, so as long as your husband doesn't fire me, I'll basically work for your company for the rest of my life."
Hearing this, Qiao Zhen couldn't help but blush: "What husband? We're not even engaged yet..."
Upon hearing this, Song Shiyi laughed gossipily: "Are you shy now? If he's not your husband, then who is?"
Qiao Zhen smiled and said, "Thank you for your blessing."
Looking at Song Shiyi's face, Qiao Zhen thought that before, she and Song Shiyi were like oil and water.
However, after the incident where he unintentionally helped her, the two actually became friends.
Song Shiyi looked at her, feeling a little embarrassed: "Qiao Zhen, you're not angry with me, are you?"
"No." Qiao Zhen shook her head, her tone full of relief: "What's past is past."
"I was misled by others before, which is why I did some bad things. I'm really grateful that you don't hold it against me!"
This was the first time Song Shiyi had formally apologized to Qiao Zhen, so she was very sincere.
Hearing her words, Qiao Zhen didn't know what else to say: "It's okay. Since it's all in the past, let's get along well from now on."
It was noon soon, and Qiao Zhen, who was working, received a call from Gu Xijue.
Qiao Zhen then remembered that she had been so worried about Lu Zheng these past few days that she couldn't even eat, and naturally had no time to answer other people's calls.
"Zhenzhen, how have you been these past few days?"
Hearing Gu Xijue's concerned voice on the other end of the phone, Qiao Zhen simply replied politely.
"That's good, Lu Zheng didn't make me suffer any injustice."
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone, and then Gu Xijue continued.
"That's good. I'm relieved that you weren't wronged."
Upon hearing this, Qiao Zhen's face flashed with embarrassment. Just as she was about to say something to end the conversation, her phone was snatched away.
"Don't worry about it. Zhenzhen can't stand the slightest harm by my side. Mr. Gu should think more about how to run his company properly."
After Lu Zheng finished speaking coldly, he slammed the phone down.
Qiao Zhen couldn't help but find it a little funny to see him sulking with jealousy.
"Seriously? He gets jealous just because he calls me?"
"Hmph." Lu Zheng snorted coldly, his tone somewhat unnatural: "Didn't you hear what he said just now? You have a boyfriend, and he spoke so tactlessly."
Seeing Lu Zheng's jealous expression, Qiao Zhen smiled and said.
“That makes sense,” Qiao Zhen’s eyes darted around, and she continued, “But how did you know I was on the phone with him?”
Hearing this, Lu Zheng coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said, "You don't need to worry about that."
"How can I not care? If you install any eavesdropping devices around me, I'll call the police!"
"Oh?" Lu Zheng became interested, raising an eyebrow as he asked, "What reason do you plan to use to call the police?"
