Sheng Jian effortlessly hoisted his a.s.sistant off the floor, taking a step forward to leave the room. However, just as he lifted his foot, a frail voice emanated from behind him.
Rong Qi lifted her hand to prop herself up. Her complexion was as pale as parchment. “Don’t you dare harm Shen. Otherwise, you’ll have to deal with me.” Sheng Jian laughed in disbelief. “Rong Qi, are you kidding me? Look around, who’s bullying who here?”
Rong Qi’s eyelids slightly closed, as if she hadn’t heard him. Frustrated, Sheng Jian paced around the room, hands on hips.
Lu Chengzhou studied the medical report in his hand, his expression a kaleidoscope of emotions. He said, “See for yourself. Stop provoking Little Qi. She can’t take any more of this.”
“I’m no doctor! How should I know what this means?” Sheng Jian retorted angrily but nonetheless took the report from him.
Sheng Jian’s hand trembled as he skimmed through it. “Is this… for real?”
Lu Chengzhou nodded gravely, a tangle of conflicting feelings writ large on his face.
Rong Qi struggled to sit up. “Take me with you. Shen won’t stop until he sees me.”
“You need to rest,” said Lu Chengzhou, sternly.
Sheng Jian lost his temper, too. “With your frail health, you’ll just be cannon fodder. Stay here; I’ll handle it.”
“Take me. You guys don’t understand him,” Rong Qi insisted, determined to leave the bed.
‘Another patient refusing doctor’s orders.’ Lu Chengzhou felt as though his trigeminal nerve was aching from irritation. Considering that Ye Nanshen had just brandished artillery at people simply because Rong Qi had gone missing for a few hours, he shuddered involuntarily.
Lu Chengzhou couldn’t imagine what would happen to him if Ye Nanshen found out that he had drawn those blood from Rong Qi.
Caught in a stalemate, Sheng Jian had no choice but to relent. Angrily, he wrapped her up and lifted her horizontally. “You’re so d.a.m.n stubborn; you’ll work yourself into the grave.”
For once, Rong Qi remained silent.
Outside the Sheng residence, another ten minutes had elapsed.
Ye Nanshen’s patience had worn dangerously thin, and his face grew colder with each pa.s.sing moment. There was still no word from his investigators. It was as though Rong Qi had vanished from the face of the earth.
His menacing aura intensified. Raising his hand, he prepared to attack once more. Just then, someone from the Sheng residence shouted, “He’s back, Mr. Sheng is back!”
True to their word, a private car appeared, driving toward them. It came to a steady halt not far from Ye Nanshen. The driver and a.s.sistant, taken aback by the situation, were frozen in disbelief. Sheng Jian stepped out of the vehicle. He stared at Ye Nanshen, then at his two grand mansions, now reduced to ash. It felt like his internal organs were all aching in rage.
“Ye Nanshen, have you lost your mind? What have I ever done to you?”
Ye Nanshen responded coldly, “Where’s Rong Qi?”
Fed up, Sheng Jian was about to retort when a voice emerged from the van.
“Shen.”
Rong Qi steadied herself on the car door and got out. The moment Ye Nanshen laid eyes on her, his icy demeanor began to thaw, ever so slightly.
“Little Qi.”
Rushing over, Ye Nanshen pulled Rong Qi into his arms. “Why are your hands so cold? Why is your face so pale? Did he do something to you?”
Ye Nanshen’s face was still a portrait of icy disdain.
Rong Qi shook her head softly, resting against Ye Nanshen. “No. I fainted and Mr. Sheng took me to the hospital. I didn’t want to worry you, so we kept it quiet. I’m sorry, Shen. I made you worry anyway.”
Ye Nanshen tightened his grip around Rong Qi and said, “As long as you’re okay.”
Touched, Rong Qi reciprocated Ye Nanshen’s embrace.
Sheng Jian watched, feeling rather envious. He said, “So, Ye Nanshen, now that you’ve seen her, are you going to stop pointing your artillery at me?”
Ye Nanshen squinted his eyes and effortlessly lifted Rong Qi in his arms. He replied, “Who told you to keep secrets from me? I’ll take Little Qi home now. I’ll even permit you, an old loner, to join us for dinner.”
With that, Ye Nanshen whisked Rong Qi into his car and drove away..
