"Ah!" Madam Li screamed when she saw what was in the bag. Her eyes rolled back, her legs went weak, and she fainted.
Director Li's eyelids twitched violently, his face paled, and he almost crumpled the photo in his hand into a ball, but he had no time to care about her. He forced himself to remain calm and asked, "What does Young Master Ji mean by this?"
"Then we'll have to ask Madam Li what she means."
Director Li hadn't expected Ji Yanchen to trace their involvement so quickly, and his anger vanished instantly. He whispered, "My wife..."
Fu Jin raised his hand to interrupt him, his whole body radiating a chilling aura. Without wasting words, he said succinctly, "Master Chen said that since Miss Shi injured her hand in the car accident, Li Zheyuan will compensate with one hand. If Madam Li still can't understand and continues to court death, Li Zheyuan still has his neck left. If your Li family wants to play games, we'll play along to the end."
Director Li's temples throbbed uncontrollably, the muscles in his cheeks trembled uncontrollably, his throat was dry, and he couldn't utter a sound for a while, watching helplessly as the other party strode away.
The maid stood there, bewildered. She glanced in the direction Fu Jin had left, swallowed hard, her eyes filled with fear, and cautiously asked, "Sir, Madam has fainted. Should we call the police...?"
Director Li took a step back and plopped down on the sofa, as if all his strength had been drained in an instant. The color drained from his face, and his eyes were filled with despair. He forced a smile and said, "Why are you calling the police? They'd love for us to call the police."
If they don't call the police, they might be able to settle this privately.
If the police are called and the matter is brought to the forefront, the Li family's fate will only be worse!
It would be more than enough for Ji Yanchen to wipe out the Li family.
Director Li was unwilling to sit idly by and wait for his fate. He suddenly stood up from the sofa. "No, I have to call the Qin family. This whole thing was started by the Qin family!"
He has no other choice but to rely on the Qin family.
...
At the hospital.
At this moment, Shi Miao's ward was crowded with people, including Li Wenlin and Shen Yan.
Ji Sinian rushed over after receiving the news, bringing a food box containing bone broth and rice.
Ji Sinian placed the food box on the table and took out the food one by one. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Shi Miao's right hand in a cast, and his heart sank.
"Sister Miao, have some soup first." He handed the girl the soup, which was at just the right temperature.
Shi Miao hummed in agreement, reached out and took the soup, seemingly oblivious to the pain in her injured right hand. Her delicate and striking face remained largely expressionless as she slowly sipped the soup, her eyelashes slightly lowered.
Looking at the girl's right hand in a cast, Li Wenlin sighed heavily. He felt that this software competition was cursed. First, his USB drive was stolen. He finally made a new one and submitted it. Now, something bad had happened to him. Nothing was going right.
"Shi Miao, I will apply to the competition organizers to help you withdraw from the finals. For now, just focus on recovering from your injury. I will also grant you another half month of leave from school."
Shen Yan nodded and agreed, "Yes, the principal is right. You should rest well during this time."
Shi Miao looked up in surprise, raised an eyebrow, and her clear black and white eyes were very pure. "Why did you withdraw from the competition?"
Li Wenlin was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, but quickly recovered. He glanced at her right hand and hesitated before saying, "Your hand..."
Shi Miao looked at him with bright eyes, her fair face showing a rather wild expression. "It's alright, I'll participate in the finals."
Xie Sizhou looked slightly taken aback and said incredulously, "Sister Shi, you're not kidding, are you? How can you compete with only one hand..."
Shi Miao lowered his head and ate a few bites of food, his tone quite nonchalant, yet with a hint of barely suppressed arrogance, "Don't worry, I can beat them with one hand."
Her face was expressionless, but the words she spoke were wildly arrogant.
However, in the ward, neither Li Wenlin nor Shen Yan thought Shi Miao was exaggerating, after all, he had the ability to back it up.
......
After watching Shi Miao finish her meal, Li Wenlin and Shen Yan saw that she was in good spirits and said a few words to her before returning to school with peace of mind.
Shi Miao leaned against the hospital bed, playing on her phone with her uninjured left hand. If it weren't for her right hand hanging down to her side and in a cast, her casual posture would make her look nothing like someone who had just been in a car accident.
Ji Yanchen came in from outside carrying a bag of medicine. He put the medicine down, glanced at it, and then took out two bottles of medicine from the bag. He unscrewed the caps with one hand, poured out two pills from each bottle, put them in a cap, and handed them to Shi Miao.
Ji Sinian frowned as he looked at Shi Miao's arm, feeling both worried and distressed.
Seeing Ji Yanchen hand the medicine to Shi Miao, she quickly stood up to pour water.
Shi Miao slowly put down her phone, took the glass, lowered her eyes, swallowed the pills one by one, and then drank two sips of water.
Ji Sinian looked at her immobile right hand, his brows furrowed, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
Shi Miao twirled the glass in her hand, her pale fingers with distinct knuckles, almost blindingly white. She glanced at Ji Sinian standing to the side and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Ji Sinian, who was already short-tempered, couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out, "Damn it! Sister Miao, who the hell did this?!"
Shi Miao lazily stretched out her legs, shifted to a more comfortable sitting position, her dark eyes shimmering, and said succinctly, "Mrs. Li."
However, she felt that the matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, and that it was deliberately orchestrated, as if there was a hidden hand pushing things forward.
There should be others behind Madam Li.
She also asked Yiduohua to check Mrs. Li's background. Mrs. Li's daily life was quite simple. She would meet with people she knew to go to beauty salons or attend tea parties. Given her social circle, it was impossible for her to come into contact with someone like the driver who caused the accident.
Furthermore, it was discovered that Mrs. Li's phone had been hacked. The hacker was very shrewd and clearly came prepared. Currently, no useful clues have been found.
"It was her!" A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Sinian's eyes. He was somewhat taken aback, thinking that it was Qin Mingyue who had done it again.
Qin Xiao frowned slightly, not expecting that Madam Li would have the audacity to do such a thing. However, he felt that something was amiss. After thinking for a moment, he said, "But I always feel that this matter is not so simple. I have met Madam Li once. She is a weak woman. Logically speaking, she should not have the courage to do such a thing. If someone had not given her advice, she would not have thought of having someone hit you."
Shi Miao took a few more sips of water, her lips glossy, and looked at him with her dark eyes. "Yes, you guessed right. There is indeed someone behind her, but they are very clean."
Xie Sizhou frowned upon hearing this, rubbing the lighter in his hand. "But you didn't offend anyone in the capital. Could it be from the M continent?"
Qin Xiao leaned against the wall, resting his chin on his hand, and slowly voiced his suspicions: "I have a feeling that this matter is inextricably linked to Qin Chu."
