Special care wards naturally offer better conditions than single rooms.
There was only one bed in the entire ward.
Xia Tianlu lay on the hospital bed with her eyes closed.
Su Ruyi immediately noticed that she had been intubated, and her entire jaw and neck were frighteningly swollen.
Didn't they have surgery to remove the key disc she swallowed?
Su Ruyi frowned.
"You're carrying a tape recorder again?" Xia Dong had already been tricked by Su Ruyi on the phone, so he was naturally very wary.
Su Ruyi turned around and asked, "Where do you think I can put a tape recorder on me?"
Xia Dong looked her up and down.
Indeed, her slender frame offered no place to hide the tape recorder—but Su Ruyi's tape recorder, placed in the space, could still record.
"You think she's easy to bully after you've hurt my Lulu like this?" Xia Dong said grimly, relieved.
"As far as I know, Xia Tianlu swallowed the key disc herself during a sudden episode of hysteria, right? Deputy Mayor Xia, how can this be attributed to me?" Su Ruyi looked directly into his eyes and answered calmly and confidently.
"..." Xia Dong was silent for a moment after being rebuked. "Hmph! Sharp-tongued! If you hadn't made things difficult for Lulu at every turn, would this have happened?"
"First of all, I didn't make things difficult for Xia Tianlu; it was she and her sister who kept making things difficult for me."
Su Ruyi finally understood why the Xia sisters were so arrogant. With a father like that, how could they not grow up to be bad?
“Secondly,” Su Ruyi continued, “their desire to seize the courtyard left to me by my master is the root of all the conflict. Vice Mayor Xia, do you also think your two daughters are doing the right thing?”
"..." Xia Dong was once again left speechless by the question.
"Again, I was shot by your daughter, Kiki. In this whole affair, I am just a victim. And the fact that I can still stand here and talk to you is because I was lucky that I wasn't hit in the heart."
Su Ruyi's tone turned stern, "You should be glad that Xia Tianlu didn't hit my vital points, otherwise, she would have been shot dead by now!"
"..." Xia Dong didn't say anything more. He stood there with his fists clenched, looking like he was about to punch Su Ruyi at any moment.
Su Ruyi was naturally wary of him, ready to slap him across the face and send him flying the moment he raised his hand.
However, after trembling for a while, Xia Dong suddenly reached into his pocket and pulled something out.
Su Ruyi glanced at it and saw that it was a key tray covered with keys.
Is this... taken out?
He didn't know that this was a key disc that Xia Dong had specially found that looked similar.
"Eat this," he said, handing the key tray to Su Ruyi.
Su Ruyi couldn't help but take a step back: "You want me to eat such a big key plate? What do you mean? Xia Tianlu ate one, so I have to eat one too?!"
"Su Ruyi, you have a fourth brother named Su Tong, right?" Xia Dong squinted his eyes. "He's currently the head of the labor and personnel department at Haicheng Food Factory."
"What are you going to do?!" Su Ruyi suddenly had a bad feeling.
“The head of the labor and personnel department, this position is easy to make mistakes in,” Xia Dong said meaningfully. “For example, things like embezzlement or abuse of power for personal gain are mistakes that can cost you your head.”
"What exactly do you want?!" Su Ruyi realized that Xia Dong was threatening her. "My brother is the most upright person!"
"Eat this key tray, or don't blame me for being ruthless towards your fourth brother!" Xia Dong's expression was somewhat ferocious. "My daughter has suffered all kinds of torment, and you, the instigator, are here acting innocent. Do you deserve to be called that?"
"If I eat this, you'll let me go?!" Su Ruyi asked tentatively.
“That’s right! As long as you eat this stuff, all your past grievances with Lulu will be wiped clean!” Xia Dong grinned maliciously.
If Su Ruyi eats this stuff, she'll become like Lulu.
He was determined to make Su Ruyi suffer the same hardships that Lulu had endured.
"Alright then," Su Ruyi said, taking the key disc and putting it in her mouth.
The moment the key disc entered her mouth, Su Ruyi transferred it into her spatial dimension.
Then, she covered her mouth with one hand and her neck with the other, and made several swallowing motions.
Xia Dong stared at her coldly, but then his eyes widened: "You...you swallowed it?!"
Su Ruyi nodded: "Can I go now?"
Xia Dong looked at Su Ruyi, who remained unfazed, and thought he must be seeing things: "You...you just wait!"
He originally wanted to see Su Ruyi kneel down and beg for mercy, crying her eyes out, but he didn't expect her to be so tough and just eat him!
And surprisingly, he didn't choke!
Xia Dong ran to the door, opened it, and shouted at the two people standing there, "Nurse! A nurse, please!"
A few days ago, after he pushed down Nurse Xiaohua, all the nurses avoided him. Only one nurse, Xiao Yindi, heard that he was the deputy mayor of Haicheng. For some reason, she tried to curry favor with him. These past few days, she has been helping him get meals and bringing him hot water, being very attentive.
Hearing him call out, Xiao Yindi hurried over, forcing a smile: "Boss, what are your instructions?!"
"Search her!" Xia Dong ordered. "See if she's hiding a key disc on her!"
"Huh?" Xiao Yindi was taken aback, then realized what she meant, "Okay, okay, I'll search right away!"
Su Ruyi stood there without moving, even stretching out her arms to cooperate.
Xiao Yindi searched frantically but found nothing. Enraged, she yelled, "You scumbag with dirty hands! You stole the boss's key! Where did you hide it?"
As he spoke, he began to tear at her clothes.
"Smack!"
Seeing her so presumptuous, Su Ruyi could no longer hold back and slapped her to the ground.
Su Ruyi used a lot of force in that slap, which even startled Xia Dong.
This little girl is so strong!
Xiao Yindi was knocked to the ground, and blood was flowing from both of her nostrils.
Her head was buzzing, and she groggily got up: "Boss, should we... report it to the police?"
"You should hurry up and report this to the police. It'll be a good opportunity to publicize what Vice Mayor Xia has done!" Su Ruyi sneered.
Xiao Yindi sensed something was wrong and looked at Xia Dong.
Xia Dong looked at Su Ruyi suspiciously.
He watched as Su Ruyi swallowed the key disc.
She neither vomited nor hid it.
They searched his body but found nothing.
So, she had no choice but to swallow it.
But why didn't she get stuck?!
How could she speak to him so casually, and even hit him?!
How did she swallow such a large key tray?
Why can she swallow it, but his Lulu can't?
Xia Dong has completely lost his mind.
He opened the door again and said to the two people outside, "You two, take her to get an X-ray right now! Let's see if she has a key disc in her belly!"
