On the day he was discharged from the hospital, Shen Muzhi still hadn't figured out a way to reconcile with Xiang Zhilan.
However, Xiang Zhilan did not break her promise to him about moving back to the villa.
She went back with him that very day, and he had all her belongings moved back to the villa early in the morning.
Xiang Zhilan silently took care of him. The wheelchair she had used before was now in use again; his legs had really suffered a lot.
Although the wound has almost healed, it is still not advisable to walk around too much.
As for my arm, the same thing happened. The doctor advised me to move it as little as possible and to rest for at least a week after being discharged from the hospital.
"Would you like some fruit?" Xiang Zhilan glanced at the fruit platter and asked Shen Muzhi.
These past few days have been like this; she takes meticulous care of him, but she no longer smiles at him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Xiang Zhilan peeled a banana and brought it to his mouth.
“You are my wife, not my caregiver. You don’t need to do these things,” Shen Muzhi said, her brows slightly furrowed.
Upon hearing his words, Xiang Zhilan withdrew her hand, began eating her banana, and said expressionlessly, "Then what do you want me to do?"
"I... I want you to smile." Shen Muzhi was a little envious of the banana; at least she was satisfied with it.
"Sorry, I'm your wife, not one of those hostesses in nightclubs and KTVs," Xiang Zhilan said coldly.
Shen Muzhi didn't frown any deeper, and said seriously, "I run a legitimate business, I don't do this kind of flesh trade."
"Oh." Xiang Zhilan finished eating the banana and threw the peel into the trash can.
"I really didn't do that kind of business," Shen Muzhi reiterated, afraid she would misunderstand.
“Well, you don’t need to explain to me. I’m not interested in your business.” Xiang Zhilan stood up and said, “I’m going for a walk.”
"I want to too..." Before Shen Mu could finish speaking, A Feng appeared at the door. Usually, he came because it was something important, so he didn't want to bother Xiang Zhilan.
Xiang Zhilan understood that they must have something to talk about, so she walked directly to the door and went down to the courtyard.
Shen Muzhi pushed his wheelchair into the study, looked up at A-Feng, and asked, "Is there something you need?"
“Last night, the police conducted a large-scale search of our businesses,” Ah Feng said gravely. “This morning, the fire department came to inspect them again and even sealed off several of our stores, saying that the firewalls and fire prevention facilities were substandard.”
Shen Muzhi frowned. He knew there would be routine inspections at this time of year, but they had never had any problems.
"I also received word that there will be searches over the next week. They've received orders from above, and it seems they're determined to find something out of us. I'm afraid it's related to those guys who were selling banned drugs in the place before," Ah Feng continued to report.
Shen Muzhi twitched the corner of his mouth. As expected, Xu Tingchuan had predicted it. Li Rui had a plan and a backup plan.
However, Li Rui certainly didn't expect that he would be forced to jump into the sea to survive that day. All his backup plans would probably be in vain, a case of twice the effort for half the result.
"Have we cleaned up the entire place?" Shen Muzhi asked.
“It’s been cleaned up completely. We won’t let any of those prohibited things in. As you instructed, we’ve helped Feng Nianyao regain his position. Feng Nianyao has started to reform their internal structure, and people like Li Rui have been purged.” A-Feng replied.
"Yes, we still need to keep a close eye on things, and make sure the higher-ups don't try to do anything that involves my dad," Shen Muzhi instructed.
Ah Feng nodded, and seeing that he had no further instructions, he prepared to turn around and leave the study.
