Shen Muzhi's lower abdomen was being pressed so softly, and a heat slowly rose up, but the 'culprit' seemed completely unaware.
He frowned, grabbed her shoulder with one hand, pushed her off him, and said in a tight, hoarse voice, "I can do it myself."
After being suddenly pushed away, Xiang Zhilan was stunned for a moment before slowly realizing that her actions just now seemed a bit intimate. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, pretending to eat the bun seriously.
After raising the bed, Shen Muzhi didn't move and looked at Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan immediately understood that this unpredictable guy still wanted her to feed him.
Just say what you want to say, why act so cool? Does he think their understanding is so deep that she can know what he wants to do with just a glance?
Hmph, at most she just relies on her intelligence to occasionally guess it.
After complaining to Zhi Lan, she obediently picked up a shumai and put it to his mouth.
At this moment, the ward door opened, and Xu Tingchuan and Ni Sitian came in to see them.
Ni Sitian suffered from oxygen deficiency last night and inhaled oxygen all night. She has now recovered, which is why she and Xu Tingchuan insisted on getting out of bed just now to come and see Zhi Lan and the others.
Little did she know that she had disturbed the young couple. Seeing Xiang Zhilan feeding Shen Muzhi shumai, she couldn't help but suppress a laugh. This scene reminded her of what Xu Tingchuan had done to her earlier.
It seems things are progressing rapidly between Xiang Zhilan and Shen Muzhi. Yesterday morning, when she went to see Zhilan, he seemed impatient about mentioning him. Perhaps it's good to have gone through such a ordeal; it could lead to new opportunities and new developments.
"You're here." Xiang Zhilan said somewhat embarrassedly, trying to withdraw her hand.
Shen Muzhi grasped her wrist, lowered his head, and bit into the shumai on his chopsticks, chewing slowly and carefully.
Xiang Zhilan was more shy than him and felt embarrassed to continue feeding him in front of others, so she put the chopsticks in his hand and asked Ni Sitian with concern, "Are you alright?"
"Hmm." Ni Sitian actually came to check if Xiang Zhilan had been injected, but with Xu Tingchuan and Shen Muzhi present, it was a bit inconvenient.
"We've been searching all night, but we still haven't found Li Rui," Xu Tingchuan said to Shen Muzhi. Actually, he had other questions for Shen Muzhi, but he didn't want to ask them in front of Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan.
"He was shot, he can't have gone far. I'll have the search intensified over the next few days," Shen Muzhi said coldly. He was a man who held grudges, and Li Rui had truly angered him this time. He would never let him off so easily! Even if it meant turning Yihai City upside down, he would find him!
Xu Tingchuan shared the same sentiment; Li Rui shouldn't have endangered Ni Sitian's life. However, he had more to consider: Li Rui must have had a backup plan before daring to do this.
What exactly did he rely on to think that the Xu and Shen families would be unable to settle accounts with him afterward?
"Did you find out anything from interrogating those subordinates after they were arrested?" Xu Tingchuan asked.
Shen Muzhi called A-Chao in for questioning. A-Chao shook his head and replied, "They are all very stubborn. We have already used three sets of torture and still haven't been able to get a single word out of them."
Xu Tingchuan frowned. No matter how capable Li Rui was, these subordinates had only been with him for a little over half a year. Why were they so devoted to him?
Ah Chao looked at Ni Sitian and Xiang Zhilan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, unsure if what he was about to say was appropriate for them to hear.
