Chapter 57 Losing the ability to love
Shi Yin did not answer this question.
Han Zhan didn't kiss her either.
Because the search and rescue team arrived.
Two hours later, we returned to the city. The lights were just beginning to come on, and the hazy, snowy night enveloped the once bustling capital. Compared to the bustling hospital, the Shi residence was exceptionally deserted.
There were only the Shi couple in the huge living room.
The couple frowned.
Very worried.
Qing He was relieved to see her beloved daughter in the deserted old house that afternoon, but she was horrified to learn that the second young master Han had fallen into the sea. They were afraid of offending the Han family, and they could not afford Han Zhan's precious life.
Secretary Li rushed in from outside, not even bothering to clean the falling snow off her body, and excitedly announced the good news: "Sir and Madam, the second young lady has been found by the search and rescue team! She has been sent to a private hospital under the Han Group! She is not in danger of death!"
Shi Tianhong immediately asked, "Have you found Han Er?"
Secretary Li was stunned.
It was true that the second young master Han was among those who had fallen into the sea and lost contact, but wasn't the second young lady more important? When he got the news from the police that the second young lady was safe and sound, he was overjoyed and rushed to the Shi residence without stopping to tell Mr. Shi and his wife the good news.
Unexpectedly.
The person they were both asking about was Han Zhan.
In the critical moment of choosing between the two, Secretary Li chose the eldest daughter Shi Qinghe first. After all, the couple was not fair and doted on Shi Qinghe. But after the fall into the sea, how could they only care about not offending the Han family and worry about Han Zhan's safety, and completely ignore Shi Yin?
Secretary Li couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
When the secretary didn't reply for a long time, Cheng Lan (Shi's mother) became anxious: "How is Han Zhan? Has he been found? Is he injured? Is his injury serious? Tell me!"
"Found it."
"Then he—"
"Mr. Han was sent back to the hospital with the Second Miss. He was injured, but the exact extent of his injuries is unknown." Secretary Li replied.
"I'm going to the hospital now." Shi Tianhong was about to get up when Secretary Li blocked his way and handed him a police report: "Mr. Shi, the murderer of this kidnapping case is not Meng Xi."
Hearing this.
The Shi couple paused for a moment.
Secretary Li added, "Meng Xi himself did not illegally purchase the firearm. It was the eldest daughter who sent someone to buy a pistol from the black market at a high price two weeks ago. This is the pistol Meng Xi pointed at the second daughter today."
"The young lady erased all her purchase records, so it wouldn't have been easy to track down. Unfortunately, the Lu family stepped in and mobilized resources from higher levels to thoroughly investigate the young lady as quickly as possible."
"The police have now confirmed that the eldest daughter deliberately fabricated a kidnapping case, holding Meng Xi's sick father hostage, and forcing Meng Xi to take the blame after the truth was revealed."
"Director Shi, the Lu family has already bailed Meng Xi out, and the police from Chaoyang District are also heading towards the Shi residence—"
Before Secretary Li finished speaking, sirens sounded outside the window.
Not long.
Uniformed police officers entered the Shi residence. The leading officer looked at the Shi couple and said businesslike, "Please ask Shi Qinghe to come with us. We have several cases that require her cooperation in the investigation."
…
"Shi Qinghe was taken away by the police, did you know?"
In the hospital.
Shi Yin got out of the shower when she received a call from Mo Li. The first thing she said was this, and she couldn't hide her smile. "Now everyone in the circle knows that she planned this kidnapping, directed and acted in it herself, and even made it a two-choice rescue scenario. Secretary Li said that your father's face was twisted with anger, and your mother almost fainted."
"Yinyin, I heard that your parents felt very guilty and cried and said sorry to you in front of the police."
"I'm acting."
"He also said that he would compensate you with his life in the future."
"Just give me worthless things." Shi Yin said.
Molly was amused by her.
In the past, Shi Yin was a solitary and taciturn person, the number of words she spoke in a day could be counted on one's fingers. Now, her temperament was still cold, but her mouth was like poison, and she would not suffer any loss.
"I'm a little curious, why would the Lu family send someone to bail Meng Xi out?"
"I don't know about that either."
Shi Yin was also a little surprised by the Lu family's involvement. Perhaps Lu Cheng helped Han Zhan out of respect, or perhaps it was for some other reason? Regardless, she was relieved that Meng Xi had escaped safely.
"How are you and Han Zhan doing now?" Mo Li changed the subject.
"He was injured, and the inflammation in his wound caused a low-grade fever. The medical staff gave him medicine and an IV drip. He is sleeping in the next ward. I went back to my ward to wash up and will go see him later."
"Han Er has dispatched the elite team of Proud Eagles to rescue you."
"He got 7% of Shi's original shares." Shi Yin replied.
A win-win situation.
He didn't suffer any loss at all.
Mo Li felt that she didn't understand what she meant, so she tentatively said, "When the gun was pointed at you, Han Zhan blocked it in front of you, and protected you the moment you fell into the sea. I feel that he didn't doubt you, but actually treated you like his wife."
Shi Yin was silent.
When she spoke frankly with him on the beach, she had already learned that they were not in a hostile relationship. Even if he knew that her motives for marrying him were not pure, he would not deliberately make things difficult for her.
She just thought he was generous.
A real man.
Very well organized.
The rest didn't think much about it.
Shi Yin understood the hidden meaning behind Mo Li's words. It was nothing more than saying that Han Zhan had a special feeling for her, perhaps with some romantic feelings between men and women. Shi Yin grumbled, "Have you been watching too many romantic movies lately? Love is the only thing on your mind?"
How can a playboy be sincere?
Even if I like it.
His feelings won't last.
When he meets the next woman who arouses his curiosity and novelty, his liking will shift.
Shi Yin had been ostracized since childhood, neglected and ignored by her own parents. In a decade of impoverished life, Song Sinian appeared like a dazzling ray of light. Warm and cheerful, he tirelessly kept her company, spending hundreds of days and nights trying to open her heart. She had given him her complete trust, only to receive a devastating blow and betrayal in return.
It's also said that once bitten by a snake, she will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
You can say she is cold-blooded and heartless.
Shi Yin no longer held onto expectations for anyone. She believed there would always be some people in the world who were happy, but she didn't believe it would happen to her. Perhaps, as her attending physician had said, she had lost the ability to perceive happiness and love.
