Chapter 341: The Man in the Dark Alley
A few tall figures stood in a dark alley but the men’s faces could not be seen in the night.
“Failed?”
The leading man wore a black coat as he held a high-end cigar in his hand. There was a little smoke, accompanied by a low and dangerous voice.
The other man dressed in black was very respectful, but at the same time, he was also a little scared as he looked at the other man.
The man glanced at the leading man as he said in a trembling voice, “Yes, Young Master Nan. I clearly saw Mr. s.h.i.+ falling to the ground after taking that shot but I don’t know what happened. I don’t know how he could stand up again…”
“Do you know?”
Before the man could even finish his sentence, the man referred to as ‘Young Master Nan suddenly turned around and looked at the man dressed in black as he called him out coldly.
The man raised his eyes and could vaguely see the man’s dark and terrifying eyes, which were murderous under the moonlight.
“I do not like people who make excuses.”
As soon as he said that, Young Master Nan dropped the cigar before he turned around to walk toward a black car that was parked not too far away.
The man dressed in black seemed to be unresponsive for a few seconds as he watched Young Master Nan leave. However, in the next second, he felt a sudden paralysis in his heart as a bullet pa.s.sed through his body and the man collapsed and fell to the ground in the next instance.
In the dark night, a corpse in the dark alley looked extremely desolate and terrifying.
***
Three days had already pa.s.sed but Zuo Weiyi still had not woken up.
Moreover, the words given by the chairman and the doctors were always the same. “We will continue to keep her under observation.”
This was an answer that both s.h.i.+ Yuting and Zuo Yi did not want to hear anymore. However, to Gu Yansheng, this might not necessarily be the best situation, but it was not bad either.
As long as Zuo Weiyi was still alive, then there was still hope.
Early in the morning, Shen Lanzhi brought some home-cooked soup and breakfast over to the hospital for her son because she knew that he had not eaten for a few days. However, she could not enter the ward at all as Zuo Yi’s men were still standing guard outside.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan was also very eager.
It had already been three days, and she had no idea about how Zuo Weiyi was doing at the moment.
As she was thinking about it, Xiangyi stepped out of the ward. When s.h.i.+ Nuannuan saw him, she could not help but glance at his injured arm.
“Xiangyi! Does your arm still hurt?” s.h.i.+ Nuannuan frowned as she looked at Xiangyi.
As he met her concerned eyes, a warm current pa.s.sed through Xiangyi’s heart.
“I am fine,” Xiangyi replied calmly as he looked at s.h.i.+ Nuannuan.
“Xiangyi.” Shen Lanzhi did not notice anything amiss with her daughter. However, she seemed a little hopeful after seeing Xiangyi.
As soon as he heard the mistress calling his name, Xiangyi turned around to look at Shen Lanzhi before he nodded respectfully, “Mistress.”
After glancing at Xiangyi, Shen Lanzhi handed the thermal flask in her hand over to him before she said, “I made some food. Please bring it in and ask Yuting to eat something.”
Shen Lanzhi was very worried when she heard that s.h.i.+ Yuting had not eaten anything for the past three days.
Xiangyi sighed as he glanced at the thermal flask in his hand.
He knew that even if he brought the food in, s.h.i.+ Yuting would not eat it at all.
If the mistress and young lady could see s.h.i.+ Yuting now, they would be in shock.
Xiangyi had already served s.h.i.+ Yuting for more than eight years but he had never seen s.h.i.+ Yuting in this state before. s.h.i.+ Yuting looked like a completely different person.
However, to worry Shen Lanzhi, Xiangyi took the thermal flask in his hand.
As he turned around, his eyes immediately fell on s.h.i.+ Nuannuan’s face.
Thinking of it, he felt as though he hadn’t seen her in a long time.
s.h.i.+ Nuannuan had been staring at him all this while but when his eyes locked eyes with hers, she felt a little dizzy for a moment. She could feel her heart beating slightly faster and was deeply attracted to him once again.
