Wu Xiao knew that if she lost this opportunity, she would never have the chance to see Zhao Heng again.
She didn't have much time; she had to act quickly and decisively, not giving Zhao Heng even a minute to catch his breath.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng frowned, his face showing extreme displeasure, and he secretly weighed the pros and cons of the matter in his mind.
That damn woman, how dare she threaten him!
Thinking about what happened yesterday, Zhao Heng felt increasingly uneasy, as if he had been framed.
Although he utterly loathed Wu Xiao, he was also afraid she would actually do it. He thought that if his parents found out about this, his father would likely only be disappointed in him, creating obstacles for his future inheritance of the Zhao family business.
Over the years, he has always kept a low profile. Even when he indulges in pleasure outside, he is always cautious, all for the sake of maintaining a good image in front of his father.
Also, to put his father at ease so that he could take control of the Zhao family's real power as soon as possible.
He only feels secure when he has it in his own hands.
But now Wu Xiao is going to ruin the image he has worked so hard to maintain for so many years. The thought that if his father knew all this, all his efforts over the years would be in vain.
How could he accept this fact!
He couldn't accept it, and now wasn't the best time to break up with Wu Xiao. For now, he could only appease Wu Xiao and find another opportunity to get rid of her later.
After thinking it through, Zhao Heng looked at Wu Xiao, whose face was contorted with rage. He felt a deep disgust for Wu Xiao, but he didn't show it on his face. He said calmly.
"I just woke up and I'm a little confused, so what I said might have been harsh. Please don't take it to heart."
After saying that, he looked at Wu Xiao, whose expression remained unchanged, and thought for a moment before continuing, "I will take responsibility for you. I have an apartment in Beijing. If you don't mind, you can move in. I'll go with you when you're discharged from the hospital later."
Zhao Heng knew that Wu Xiao just wanted to cling to him and wouldn't let go without giving him some incentive.
As for Wu Xiao's suggestion to marry her, he could not possibly agree to it and did not want to continue discussing the topic.
So they settled for second best.
I was thinking of keeping her by my side for now, and figuring out how to get rid of her later.
Upon hearing this, Wu Xiao's expression softened somewhat.
His anger had initially suppressed his rationality, and he felt a pang of regret when he recalled his impulsive actions and words.
She guessed right; Zhao Heng was indeed afraid that the matter would spread. At the same time, she was relieved that Zhao Heng did not choose to kill people to silence them.
After all, she is now just an ordinary person with no background or financial resources. If Zhao Heng wants her to disappear, he has plenty of ways to do so.
This is a truth that Wu Xiao only came to understand after she regained her composure.
So when Zhao Heng offered a way out, Wu Xiao followed suit, nodding in agreement, "Okay."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Heng knew that Wu Xiao had agreed to reconcile with him, but he didn't say anything. He picked up his phone and checked the time. "It's getting late. Go back and pack your things to prepare for discharge. I'll take you there later."
Wu Xiao nodded after hearing this.
She knew that her actions just now must have displeased Zhao Heng.
She couldn't say much right now. She had already achieved her initial goal, and she didn't want to upset Zhao Heng any further.
As for the future, she believed that Zhao Heng would definitely fall at her feet and love her; it was just a matter of time.
Wu Xiao glanced at Zhao Heng, who lay on the bed with no particular expression, then obediently turned and left Zhao Heng's hospital room.
After watching Wu Xiao leave, Zhao Heng's gaze darkened. He lowered his head, held his phone, and pondered for a moment before making a call.
"Where are you?"
"Okay, I'll come over in a bit. I need your help with something."
Zhao Heng then hung up the phone.
Not long after, Wu Xiao changed her clothes and returned to Zhao Heng's room. Since she had only arrived yesterday, she didn't have anything to unpack.
The clothes she was wearing were bought by a delivery person she had just called when she went back home. Apart from a handbag, she didn't own anything else.
Zhao Heng had already changed his clothes. Yesterday, things happened so suddenly that his car was still parked at Linlang Shopping Mall. So he called the Zhao family's personal driver to send him his clothes and also bring his car over.
Zhao Heng glanced at Wu Xiao. "Let's go."
He then walked straight to the door.
After hearing this, Wu Xiao followed him, and the two left the ward together.
After Zhao Heng paid the fees for the two of them downstairs, he took Wu Xiao to the parking lot and then drove away from the hospital together.
Zhao Heng did not utter a word the entire way.
His expression was indifferent, one hand on the steering wheel and the other holding a cigarette against the window; anyone who saw him would know he was in a bad mood.
Wu Xiao, who was in the passenger seat, saw this scene when she secretly looked over.
Without even thinking, she knew that Zhao Heng was in a bad mood.
She wasn't sure if it was because of her, and after what had just happened in the ward, she felt neither in the right nor comfortable asking.
So the two of them remained silent the whole way until the car stopped.
Wu Xiao looked up at the car and saw unfamiliar surroundings outside, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Where is this?
After parking the car, Zhao Heng looked at Wu Xiao and said calmly.
"I have something to do. Wait for me in the car."
Without waiting for Wu Xiao's reply, he turned away and left the classroom.
Seeing this, Wu Xiao had many questions but didn't dare to ask them. He could only watch as the building walked into the way.
——
"Young Master Zhao, you've arrived."
A man wearing a white coat and with a buzz cut walked over; he looked to be in his twenties or thirties.
Zhao Heng's expression was somewhat unpleasant, but he nodded and said, "Mm."
"What do you want from me?" the man asked curiously.
Zhao Heng frowned and asked, "If it was the drug you took yesterday, can it still be detected in your body now?"
The man, puzzled, replied earnestly, "Theoretically, it's possible to find out. What's wrong?"
Zhao Heng lowered his brows and asked, "Help me get a blood test to see if there are any traces of drugs in my body."
Upon hearing this, the man asked with some confusion, "What happened?"
Zhao Heng nodded with a furrowed brow, but said nothing.
Upon seeing this, the man understood Zhao Heng's meaning and said to Zhao Heng, "Come with me."
He then turned and walked toward the sampling room.
Zhao Heng followed after him.
The man quickly collected a blood sample from Zhao Heng.
Zhao Heng pressed on the injection site and asked, "How long will it take to get the results?"
The man placed the sample on the box, saying, "It won't be until tomorrow at the earliest."
Zhao Heng nodded. "Thank you for telling me the results as soon as they came out."
