After a period of familiarization, Shen Xi had already immersed herself in various company projects alongside Shen Yan and Lu Shan.
The Ninghai Project, a collaboration with the government, was now in full swing.
Thanks to Guan Lei’s earlier reminder, Shen Xi had dedicated extra attention to this project.
Everything seemed to be going smoothly so far, with no signs of any anomalies.
However, due to the project’s occasional demands, Shen Xi found herself in contact with Gu Chen.
Initially, she had expected their interactions to be complicated, but to her surprise, Gu Chen maintained a clear distinction between their professional and personal relationships.
In business matters, he treated Shen Xi just like a business partner, showing no signs of crossing any personal boundaries. This made Shen Xi’s life a lot easier.
After a meeting, Shen Xi hastily gathered her belongings. Guan Lei was returning today, and she wanted to surprise him at the airport.
“Lu Fei, Shen Luan, you two can have some free time now. I’m heading to the airport to pick up Guan Lei,” Shen Xi informed the two individuals guarding her.
Lu Fei and Shen Luan nodded, then retreated.
In high spirits, Shen Xi walked out of her office, only to run into Gu Chen, who had not left yet.
Shen Xi politely greeted him, and Gu Chen simply nodded in response. They both continued with their respective tasks.
Shen Xi made her way to the garage with her car keys in hand. As she opened the car door, a sudden sharp pain in her chest and a flash of white light overcame her, causing her to lose consciousness in the next moment.
Gu Chen and several company executives, including some personnel from Shen Corporation, had just reached the underground garage when they witnessed Shen Xi collapsing. Gu Chen yelled, “Xi!”
The a.s.sailant, seemingly startled by Gu Chen’s shout, dumped Shen Xi to the ground and fled.
Gu Chen and others immediately rushed to check on Shen Xi’s condition.
Shen Xi had lost consciousness, but fortunately, she had no visible injuries.
Gu Chen anxiously said to the people around him, “You guys inform President
Shen, I’ll take Miss Shen to the hospital.”
The others nodded in agreement. Gu Chen picked up Shen Xi and carried her to his car, driving straight to the hospital.
Shen Yan, upon learning that Shen Xi had been attacked and taken aq.,ray by Gu Chen, was frantic and on the verge of losing his composure.
He notified Lu Shan and rushed to the hospital where Gu Chen had taken Shen
Xi.
However, upon arrival at the hospital, Shen Yan could not reach Gu Chen. In desperation, Shen Yan had to contact his brother-in-law, Zheng Shi, only to find out that he was currently studying abroad.
Nevertheless, through the hospital’s connections, Zheng Shi learned that Shen Xi had been injected with a substance that disrupted her nervous system and was currently undergoing treatment. Gu Chen stayed with her out of concern.
Shen Yan could only wait outside the emergency room.
Lu Shan hurriedly arrived, her face filled with worry as she asked, “How is Xi?
Is she okay?”
Shen Yan held Lu Shan’s hand tightly and said, “They’re still treating her. Brother-in-law says it’s just a neurological drug, so it shouldn’t be life-threatening.”
Tears welled up in Lu Shan’s eyes. “Neurological drug? Could it lead to mental instability in the future?”
Shen Yan could not be certain himself. He just squeezed his wife’s hand tightly and let out a long sigh.
“I heard that Gu Chen is also there. Do you think he’s involved?” Lu Shan asked with suspicion, her eyes red and teary.
“l asked, at the time, Gu Chen was in the underground garage with several other people, including executives from my company. So, for now, there’s no evidence to prove it was Gu Chen. I’ve already sent someone to investigate the matter,” Shen Yan said with a heavy tone.
Anyone who dared to harm his daughter would not go unpunished.
The couple waited for nearly two hours before the doors of the emergency room finally opened.
Shen Yan and his wife anxiously approached the doctor, asking, “Doctor, how is our daughter?”
The doctor sighed and said, “The toxins in her body have been cleared, but there is still some nerve damage in her brain. We will need to wait until the patient regains consciousness to determine the exact condition.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Shan could not hold back her tears. How could this happen?
Shen Yan’s face darkened. If he ever got hold of the person who hurt his daughter, he vowed to make them suffer.
Shen Xi, with her closed eyes, was wheeled out, with a concerned Gu Chen by her side.
Lu Shan hurriedly approached, tears welling up in her eyes as she looked at Shen Xi.
Shen Yan’s gaze briefly flickered over Gu Chen’s face before settling on Shen
Xi’s pale one..
