As soon as the door to the rehabilitation room closed, Lu Yi casually took off his coat and threw it on a hook in the corner.
His eyes narrowed, and the sickly weakness vanished, making him look like a completely different person from the pitiful young man just now.
"Third brother, you were so good at pretending just now, you almost fooled me!"
Du Guanglong lit a cigarette and took a few puffs.
“I didn’t expect her to suddenly pounce on me. It seems Uncle Huo was right; no one outside believes I was really injured.”
Lu Yi quickly put on his equipment, moved nimbly to a different position, and swung his fist fiercely at the sandbag.
He did have a high fever last night, but it subsided quickly after taking medicine.
In the past few days, people have been coming to our door in droves.
Some used the guise of cooperating with the Huo family, some carried merger and acquisition contracts, and some simply revealed their entire fortunes...
Without exception, they all intentionally or unintentionally showed concern for Lu Yi's injuries.
For Lu Yi's sake, Huo Xiao had no choice but to close the door to visitors.
If Qin Fengying and Lu Baofei hadn't chosen today to come, they would have been turned away long ago.
"Logically speaking, Qin Fengying doesn't have such a sharp mind. Her probing left and right reminds me of the past!"
Du Guanglong stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, took off his T-shirt, revealing his muscular chest.
"She always puts her brain into other people's things. She believes whatever that foreigner says unconditionally and never uses her brain."
After a few punches, Lu Yi was panting heavily, his forehead glistening.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you!"
"Take a break before you train again. Your wound has just healed, and your body can't handle such a high level of exercise!"
Du Guanglong handed him a clean towel and patted his arm.
"No, Jiaojiao is still missing. I'm worried she might be in danger."
"I have two more days at most, I must set off!"
Lu Yi wiped his forehead, picked up the water next to him, took two small sips to moisten his throat, and continued to swing his fist.
Du Guanglong stood behind him, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
He dared not imagine that if Lu Gengsheng knew that Lu Yi was living this kind of life, he would not be at peace even in the afterlife!
Just then, Lu Yi's phone beeped.
Du Guanglong picked it up and handed it to him, his brows furrowed with barely concealed pain.
"Third brother, none of the brothers have given up. President Huo also spoke with the eldest young master on the phone and asked him to find a way. Jiaojiao will be alright!"
Lu Yi unlocked his phone and glanced at it a few times.
He walked to a seat against the wall and sighed softly, "If that driver doesn't wake up, we'll have to start investigating the killer."
"He will not show up again unless I leave the Huo family's house."
"Besides, Ruan Jiaojiao's situation arose because of my lack of consideration, so I can't pretend that nothing happened."
There weren't many important people in his life; several of his elders had passed away.
The rest of them were all caught up in this scheme, and if he cowered, those people would only become more rampant.
He had to focus more attention on himself; only in this way could he buy the Huo, Gu, and Fan families more time to investigate.
"Third brother, I'll go with you!"
Du Guanglong knew he couldn't dissuade him, so while helping him relax his muscles, he said, "I don't trust you to go by yourself!"
"I swore to Lao Lu that I would treat you as a brother for life and protect you!"
Perhaps it's because he's getting older, but his eye sockets have become shallower.
Seeing the bloodstains seeping through Lu Yi's quick-drying clothes, she felt a heartache as if she were being roasted over a fire, and she couldn't breathe.
“You can’t leave. If you leave, those people will definitely take advantage of the situation.”
"Second brother, you need to hold those people off and keep a close eye on the listing process. You must stay with the Huo family and protect the Huo family!"
"Brother, there are always times when you have no choice in life, but there are priorities."
"If Jiaojiao makes it ashore alive, she will definitely protect herself first. No news is the best news for us."
Lu Yi not only comforted Du Guanglong, but also comforted himself.
Actually, he had been dreaming about Ruan Jiaojiao every night for the past few days.
She stood in front of him, soaking wet, her mouth opening and closing as she spoke something. Seeing Lu Yi's confusion, she gestured anxiously with her hands.
But when Lu Yi woke up, all he remembered was her pale face.
I can't remember anything else.
...
When Liang Shiyue received Lu Yi's call, a long-lost smile immediately appeared on her face.
How is your recovery going?
She asked softly, as if she were an old friend.
"fine!"
Lu Yi gave a brief answer and then said nothing more.
Hearing a soft sigh coming from the microphone, Liang Shiyue put down her chopsticks and went into her room.
"Lu Yi, are you trying to ask me why I don't take the blame?"
"Because it pains me, I feel better only when I share some of your burden..."
Before she could finish speaking, Liang Shiyue buried her face in her hands by the bed and sobbed silently.
Lu Yi did say that if the fake video were ever exposed, she could stay out of it and say that Lu Yi designed it.
In this way, Liang Shiyue can continue to study and live peacefully at school.
But she didn't want to see Lu Yi become the target of public criticism again.
"Xiaoyue..."
Lu Yi choked up and clenched his fists tightly.
"Lu Yi, you don't need to say anything, I'm really fine!"
"Oh, and I have some good news to tell you. I've submitted my application, and my teacher told me that I meet all the requirements and have a high chance of being approved."
Liang Shiyue stopped crying and started laughing. She deliberately pulled out a few sheets of paper and shook them, making a rustling sound.
"Actually, I also envy those who study abroad. The teaching methods here are quite different from what I imagined."
