Ch. 336..340: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 336-340

Chapter 336: Chapter 336: Within a Single Step...

Yin Hehe rushed to the hospital.

But she found that when she got there, the area outside the operating room was already crowded with people, all from the military.

Some were from the Xiahou Family.

"What’s the situation?"

Seeing so many people, she didn’t know who to ask, but when she saw Xiahou Shaojie, a hoodlum who was there, she dragged him over and asked.

Xiahou Shaojie was enjoying the commotion, suddenly being pulled over gave him quite a fright.

"Why is it you?" After recognizing it was Yin Hehe, the hoodlum immediately spoke up unhappily.

Yin Hehe ignored his dissatisfaction and directly asked again, "I’m asking you what the situation is like now?"

"I’m not very clear myself, Grandpa was taken into the operating room, and the doctors haven’t come out yet."

Xiahou Yi was actually taken into the operating room for emergency treatment?

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe’s face changed.

"What about Xiahou Jingmu? How is he doing?" she immediately asked about him next.

Fortunately, this time the hoodlum pointed towards the direction of the emergency department not too far away.

"He’s inside there. His injuries aren’t as severe as Grandpa’s, just a broken arm."

"..."

Yin Hehe stepped towards the emergency department.

Xiahou Yi was already an old man in his eighties; it was understandable that he was injured more severely in the car accident than the younger generation.

Yin Hehe saw Xiahou Jingmu in the emergency department, his arm already set in plaster.

"Junior General, are you alright?" She walked in and stood beside his hospital bed to ask.

Xiahou Jingmu immediately looked up.

"Why are you here?"

His face still had many small wounds that had not been treated, and at first glance, it looked somewhat bloodstained.

Yet, when he saw Yin Hehe, his eyes clearly brightened.

Yin Hehe nodded, "I heard that you guys had an accident, so I came to check on you. How are you? Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, just a minor injury," Xiahou Jingmu quickly expressed with ease.

For a military man like him, such an injury truly was nothing.

Yin Hehe, seeing this, also felt her heart relax.

"How did you guys get into a car accident? I heard from Uncle Zhong that you were going to Penglai Pavilion to meet foreign guests. Isn’t that road very smooth?"

She asked this question as well.

As her words fell, the young general in front of her paused, probably not expecting this woman to know all these details.

"Well, actually it was... a collision that happened because we couldn’t avoid a truck in time," he explained after regaining his composure and glancing at his arm in plaster.

A truck?

Yin Hehe frowned again.

Indeed, she had familiarized herself with that place because, due to many years of professional habits, she would learn about the local situation whenever she went to a new place, which was a basic task for a lawyer.

So, for the road to Penglai Pavilion that she knew of, there shouldn’t be any trucks.

Unless it was official cargo.

But before she could ask further, someone suddenly came in from outside.

"Major, Old General Xiahou has been brought out!"

"!!!!"

Immediately, both of them turned and left the emergency department.

A few minutes later, when they reached the operating room’s entrance, what they saw was Xiahou Yi being wheeled out.

"Doctor, how is he?"

"We’ve managed to remove the broken bones in his lung area, but given his old age, whether he can get through the critical period, we’ll have to see over the next 24 hours," the hospital director, an old friend of Xiahou Yi who personally performed the surgery, said gravely as he saw the group.

In an instant, after these words were spoken, there was silence among the crowd.

And Xiahou Jingmu staggered back several steps.

"Brother, are you alright?" Xiahou Shaojie saw him and quickly reached out to support him.

Yin Hehe’s expression also didn’t look too good.

Although she disliked Xiahou Yi, she didn’t want anything to happen to him, knowing that if he fell, the Xiahou Family would be thrown into chaos.

At that time, life wouldn’t be easy for her and Sheng Siyuan either.

Yin Hehe followed them to the intensive care unit.

"Director, I want to ask, how exactly was he injured? How could it be so serious? Even his ribs have pierced into his lungs?"

She immediately approached the director as he came out of the ICU.

Director: "..."

"Hey, what do you mean by that? It was a car accident, and you still ask how he was injured? Should the car flip over and give you a demonstration?"

Xiahou’s third uncle actually butted in, starting to lecture Yin Hehe in front of everybody.

Yin Hehe’s pretty face immediately darkened.

She wanted to explain that wasn’t what she meant; she just wanted to understand the details in order to assess the old man’s chances of waking up.

But very quickly, she realized that with just those few words, the people from the Xiahou Family standing there displayed very angry and rejecting expressions toward her.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Forget it, as if she hadn’t asked.

Yin Hehe stepped aside.

Before long, the visitors from the military left, and only the Xiahou Family members remained in the hospital.

"Let’s divide up the tasks and decide who will stay here today."

Upon seeing only his relatives around, Xiahou’s third uncle once again took on the responsibility as head of the family and started assigning tasks.

As his words settled, someone immediately stepped forward.

"I can stay, there’s nothing important at home today."

"Me too..."

In just a few minutes, unexpectedly, these people all wanted to stay.

Yin Hehe was genuinely surprised by this scene.

It seemed that these people still had some conscience, worthy of the family that the old man had spent his life guarding.

She quietly stood aside.

But at that moment, Xiahou Jingmu, who had been silently sitting on a bench with his arms folded for a long time, suddenly stood up.

"You all can go back. I’ll be fine here."

"What?" Xiahou’s third uncle let out an extremely exaggerated cry.

"You’re injured like this, how can you stay here? Xiahou Jingmu, that’s enough. There’s no need to show filial piety at this time."

"You..."

A single sentence made the young general, who already felt a great deal of guilt, even more embarrassed and enraged.

Yin Hehe could not stand to watch any longer.

She knew that Xiahou’s third uncle was actually the biggest troublemaker in the Xiahou Family, but to speak so impolitely to a junior was something she had never seen before.

"Third Uncle, isn’t what you said a bit too much? As a junior, showing filial respect for an elder who cared for and nurtured him, what’s wrong with that?"

She stood up and spoke very bluntly.

Immediately, the accusation made the old man’s face turn green.

"What’s it to you? I’m scolding him; is it your place to butt in? If not for him, would the old master ever end up like this?"

He started berating her at once.

Xiahou Jingmu stood by the side; hearing his words, his expression turned even paler. His head bowed even lower, and it was clear his shoulders were trembling.

Yin Hehe noticed and felt her anger grow.

"What’s wrong with me? I am Xiahou Yi’s daughter-in-law. By status, you have even less right to meddle in this matter. I haven’t even spoken, what are you piping up for?"

"You—"

That statement was harsh!

Right then, it choked the old man to the point where his neck thickened.

And Xiahou Jingmu abruptly looked up again, his eyes fixed on Yin Hehe, not moving away for a long time!

Chapter 337: Chapter 337: Palpitations

"Thank you so much for just now!"

The corridor had finally quieted down when Yin Hehe looked toward the observation room, she heard the person beside her thanking her.

"It’s nothing."

She turned her head and smiled at the person.

"Actually, you don’t need to pay attention to what they say. Some people, with their ill intentions, will never say anything good. So, you don’t have to listen to them at all."

She reminded him once more.

Upon hearing this, Xiahou Jingmu stood by, staring at the woman’s profile again in a daze.

Was she teaching him?

But he remembered she was younger than him, so how could she speak such mature words in front of him? Did she know what kind of words he had grown up hearing over the years?

Xiahou Jingmu also looked into the observation room. He saw the elderly man with white hair who just a few hours ago was still vibrant and imposing as ever.

But now, he lay there motionless, covered in tubes.

His lips finally quivered...

"Of course, I won’t take their words to heart. I just think what he said made sense. If it weren’t for me, Grandpa wouldn’t be like this now."

"It wasn’t on purpose!"

Yin Hehe comforted him naturally.

"Sometimes, accidents can’t be controlled by humans. You don’t need to blame yourself. When he wakes up, he won’t blame you either."

"Is that so?" Xiahou Jingmu’s last words, as he looked at the old man inside, had become very soft.

Yin Hehe didn’t join the conversation but took out her phone.

"Excuse me, I need to take a call."

She walked away with her phone, leaving the man behind staring at her retreating figure for a long time without shifting his gaze.

Yin Hehe answered the phone: "Hello? Cheng Chi?"

"Where have you been?"

Unexpectedly, the voice that suddenly came through the phone was that of an unmistakably displeased man, tinged with a chill and a hint of dominance, causing Yin Hehe’s scalp to tingle on the spot.

"Husband, it’s you. I’m at the hospital right now, I’ll be back soon," she quickly soothed.

"Hospital?" As soon as those words were said, the voice on the phone became even more terrifying.

"President, where are you going? Wait for me!"

There was only a "clang" from outside, and it wasn’t clear what had happened, but Cheng Chi’s alarmed voice came through the phone.

Yin Hehe was startled: "Cheng Chi, what happened?"

"Madam, it’s not good. The president threw the phone and ran out!"

"..."

This is bad...

Yin Hehe couldn’t care less, she hung up the phone and started running downstairs.

It just happened that Xiahou Jingmu came over at this time. Seeing her running towards the elevator in a panic, he called out from behind, "Yin Hehe, where are you going?"

"I’m going to pick up your uncle; he’s coming."

Yin Hehe answered while running.

Therefore, the man who followed behind stopped, watching her enter the elevator, the hint of joy that had been on his face froze.

He actually wanted to tell her not to worry about the old man’s condition; he would definitely wake up smoothly tomorrow.

But at that moment, he suddenly felt it was unnecessary to say it anymore.

Downstairs.

Yin Hehe waited at the hospital entrance for about twenty minutes.

Finally, she saw the familiar car approaching.

"Screech!"

The vehicle had just stopped when she was about to open the car door, but the man inside had already emerged, his face darkened in anger.

"What are you doing here? Are you injured?" He stood in front of her, his towering presence enveloping her entirely like an iron tower.

Yin Hehe shuddered again in response.

"No... no, it’s Xiahou Yi who was in a car accident, I came to see how he was doing."

"Oh..." Upon hearing this, the man’s expression turned cold.

"Go home!"

He decisively grabbed Yin Hehe and started to leave.

Yin Hehe was stunned.

If the old butler hadn’t come over at that moment and seen the two of them, Yin Hehe might have really been dragged away.

"Young master, you’re here too?"

The old butler, visibly pleased to see them, immediately stepped in front of them.

Yin Hehe could only greet him, "Yes, I came over as soon as I heard the news, and he just arrived."

"That’s wonderful; the old general will be very happy to know you both came."

The old butler was so moved he began to wipe away tears.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Man: "Are you leaving or not?"

He acted as if he was completely oblivious to the old butler’s presence, and seeing that Yin Hehe wasn’t moving, his handsome face darkened like a storm about to break.

Yin Hehe glanced at him and swallowed hard.

"Husband, how about we stay a little longer and go upstairs to see... the patient?"

Yin Hehe tried to coax the man.

Of course, she didn’t tell him that the patient was his father; she didn’t want to take the liberty of acknowledging that relationship before he was ready.

The man’s face was still foreboding, but hearing the woman pleading with him, he wasn’t as insistent as before.

So, at last, Yin Hehe managed to bring him inside.

"Jingmu, you’re still here? How are your injuries?"

When the three of them came up, the old butler, seeing Xiahou Jingmu sitting outside the monitoring room, immediately asked with concern.

Xiahou Jingmu stood up: "It’s nothing."

He replied indifferently, with his gaze fixed on the man whose hand was tightly held by Yin Hehe.

The man, ever since Xiahou Jingmu first saw him, stood out in any situation, shining brightly.

Like when he saw him—covered in blood, his features and the air of nobility about him still demanded attention.

Just as now, even though he had lost his wits, standing there expressionless, he still exuded an intimidating aura.

"It’s good you’re alright. You should go home now; I will arrange for someone to take care of the old general, and since the young master is here, too, you don’t need to worry. Go home and heal."

The old butler considerately suggested Xiahou Jingmu to go home.

Xiahou Jingmu nodded: "Okay, then I’ll head back first. Call me if you need anything."

His gaze shifted to Yin Hehe.

But at that moment, Yin Hehe’s attention was solely on the man she was holding hands with.

Because she realized he was getting impatient again.

"Husband, just stay a little longer, and then we’ll leave. When we get back, I’ll make you something tasty, okay?"

She tenderly soothed him, much like one would pacify a child.

The man finally settled down again, reluctantly.

However, when his eyes happened to meet Xiahou Jingmu’s, Xiahou Jingmu thought he saw a flash of fierceness in them, or was it his imagination?

He immediately looked away.

"Grandpa Zhong, then I’ll be leaving." Xiahou Jingmu left.

Chapter 338: Chapter 338 Revival

"Xiaoyin, these few days, could I trouble you to take care of the old general here?"

Unexpectedly, just as Xiahou Jingmu left, the old butler was faced with such a request from Yin Hehe.

Yin Hehe was extremely surprised.

"Why? Is there no one else in the prince’s mansion?" he asked in astonishment.

The butler’s expression suddenly became very grave.

"It’s not that, it’s that I don’t trust the others. Xiaoyin, the current situation in the imperial capital is not so optimistic. You’ve seen what the Shen Family did to the old general because of the young master’s incident. So I’m worried that if something happens to the old general now, someone might secretly harm him."

The butler was indeed forthright, expressing all his concerns.

Yin Hehe suddenly became alert!

That’s right, how is she? Wasn’t she worried? Where would she be if she hadn’t recently felt that there was something abnormal about this car accident? Now, with that said, her suspicions were correct.

"Uncle Zhong, are you suspecting that the Shen Family had a hand in this car accident too? I asked Xiahou Jingmu about it before, and he said it was a minor collision with a truck. But as far as I know, the road to Penglai Pavilion wouldn’t have any trucks, so how could they have collided?"

"What?"

The old butler was not referring to this incident at all, and upon hearing such analysis, he was extremely shocked!

"It really seems like there is a problem. Xiaoyin, looking at it this way, you must help out. Otherwise, without someone reliable to watch over him here, a major incident could occur."

"But..." Yin Hehe glanced at the man beside her who was becoming impatient again and showed a very difficult expression.

If she stayed at the hospital, what would she do with this man?

However, regarding this issue, the old butler indeed appeared very relaxed.

"Then let the young master stay with you here; it just so happens that the famous traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, whom the old general asked me to contact, has arrived these past few days. It will be convenient for him to stay here for his daily acupuncture."

"What?"

Taken completely off guard, Yin Hehe didn’t know what to say for a moment.

Before long, the old butler left, and Yin Hehe could only bring the man beside her to the vacant hospital room that had been arranged for them.

"Husband, could we stay here for the next few days? That old man is sick, and we need to take care of him. Is that okay?"

She led him inside, fearing he would disagree, and pleaded with him cautiously.

Strangely, once the man entered the room and saw that small sickbed in the hospital, he suddenly became very calm.

He walked to the window and sat in the small chair by it for a while before he went to the small sickbed and lay down.

Before long, he had fallen into a deep sleep.

How odd, wasn’t it?

Yin Hehe was stunned.

But this situation relieved her from worrying. When Cheng Chi brought over some daily necessities, she started to discuss Xiahou Yi’s incident with him seriously.

"Cheng Chi, take a good look into this matter, especially the truck. See if it has anything to do with the Shen Family?"

After summarizing the incident, she gave her instructions to this man.

She was a lawyer and had handled quite a few major cases before.

So, she had some experience to rely on.

Cheng Chi nodded, "Should we arrange for our people to come over? Since the old butler said that the people from the prince’s mansion are unreliable, then it’s better to trust our own people."

"That’ll do," agreed Yin Hehe.

"I wonder how Captain Xu is doing now? If he were here, he would probably have even better advice."

All of a sudden, she mentioned this person again, her voice laced with worry and hope.

Indeed, as Sheng Siyuan’s capable assistant for nearly a decade, if he were present at this time, he would undoubtedly be their greatest support.

Cheng Chi’s expression dimmed.

He actually had some things he didn’t say, and that was, if Xu Guannan had really gone to call for reinforcements, there wouldn’t have been such a long silence, nor would there have been such a prolonged absence of any trace of him.

Therefore, at the Blood Eagle Headquarters, everyone had now tacitly acknowledged one thing—that perhaps the former captain had met with an accident.

After all, they had now seen just how treacherous and dangerous this place could be.

Cheng Chi left.

That evening, Yin Hehe kept vigil in the hospital, sometimes stepping out to check the monitoring room, sometimes going back to the ward, and during this time, the man staying in the ward also behaved very well.

It was only when dinner arrived, and he saw other patients taking their bowls to the hospital cafeteria for food, that he suddenly got excited and stood up.

"Eat!"

"Ah?" Yin Hehe, who was about to order takeaway on her phone, was startled.

Eat what? She hadn’t even ordered yet.

It wasn’t until she followed him out and saw his eyes intently following the patients passing by their ward door with their lunch boxes, that she finally had a realization!

She remembered, this man’s memory must have reverted back to the time when they were at the Drug Rehabilitation Center.

No wonder he had been so well-behaved in the ward today.

It turned out, he thought he was back at the Drug Rehabilitation Center.

Yin Hehe’s heart warmed at the thought, as if something had suddenly overflowed from within, and she reached out and took the man’s hand.

"Let’s go, we’ll get something to eat!"

"Mm!"

He nodded happily in agreement.

Afterward, the two of them cheerfully made their way toward the cafeteria.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, the old butler from the Wang family estate had returned and went straight to He’anli, where he found Xiahou Jingmu, who had just gotten home.

"Jingmu, let me ask you, did you find anything unusual about today’s car accident?"

He went straight to the point upon finding him.

Xiahou Jingmu was lying in bed resting when the butler arrived and only sat up after his arrival. He was caught off guard by the question and his pupils contracted as he looked at the old butler.

"What do you mean? Did you notice something unusual?"

"Not me, it was your young aunt," the butler confessed.

"She analyzed it and said that the road leading to Penglai Pavilion is under strict official control as it often accommodates foreign guests, right? So, large trucks like the one you collided with shouldn’t have been there in the first place."

"..."

For three seconds, the young general sat there in utter silence.

He hadn’t expected the woman to be so perceptive and intelligent.

"I didn’t pay much attention at the time, but the truck should have been there legitimately, I saw it was from a logistics company, and sometimes Penglai Pavilion does receive deliveries."

He pondered for quite a while before he answered the question.

Upon hearing this, the butler did not relax his expression.

"You should still investigate. I suspect that there’s more to this incident. After the issue with your younger uncle, the old general has completely fallen out with the Shen family, so the possibility of someone deliberately harming him cannot be excluded."

He did not elaborate further but directly instructed Xiahou Jingmu to thoroughly investigate the matter.

Xiahou Jingmu nodded, then after a moment, as if something had occurred to him, he looked up and asked, "By the way, who did you arrange to watch over the hospital?"

"Of course, it’s your young aunt. You should know that right now, I don’t trust anyone else in the Wang family estate. Your young aunt is truly a formidable figure. With her there, the old general’s safety can be fully guaranteed."

The butler praised her without reservation.

Unnoticed by him, the man sitting on the bed who had been looking straight ahead, suddenly narrowed his eyes, and a layer of frost seemed to envelop him...

Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Sudden Emergency

Yin Hehe that night, after returning to the ward, basically went out to check every ten minutes or so.

Because of this, Sheng Siyuan was not pleased.

Fortunately, after nine o’clock, his biological clock kicked in, he climbed into the hospital bed, and fell asleep shortly thereafter.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe stepped forward to tuck him in properly, then simply decided to watch from outside.

"Madam, has the president fallen asleep?"

Just as she came out, she saw Cheng Chi had also returned and was waiting for her outside the monitoring room.

Yin Hehe nodded and walked over

"How’s the investigation? Any information?" she asked about the matter at hand.

"Yes!" Cheng Chi gave a clear and affirmative answer.

In an instant, Yin Hehe turned to look at him, the sharp glint in her beautiful amber pupils reappearing after a long absence.

"Let’s hear it."

"That truck, I checked its records and discovered it’s actually a cloned vehicle. I traced the engine number back to the original owner, and he told me that just yesterday, someone bought the truck from him at a high price,"

Cheng Chi took out several photos from his chest.

Yin Hehe immediately took them.

Indeed, the middle-aged man in the photos looked like a driver who had run trains for a long time.

Moreover, looking at the engine’s wear and tear and the traces of frequent maintenance, it was also a vehicle that had driven a lot of miles.

Yin Hehe felt even more certain in her heart.

"So it seems the accident was intentional. Do you think it was the Shen Family’s doing?"

She handed back the photos and went on to ask.

However, Cheng Chi couldn’t answer this question, since he was just a bodyguard, and didn’t have the sharp mind and observational skills of Xu Guannan.

"Alright, if you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it. Actually, if I’m not wrong, the answer will be revealed tonight."

Unexpectedly, seeing him look so troubled, Yin Hehe smiled faintly and then added another sentence.

Cheng Chi suddenly widened his eyes.

"Tonight? Madam means...?" he asked, both shocked and puzzled.

But Yin Hehe did not say more, instead she instructed him to have the people from Blood Eagle guard the monitoring room well.

Then, she went back to the ward.

Tonight, indeed, a good show was going to take place.

Yin Hehe entered the ward. She didn’t want to rest on the bed under the peculiar circumstances, but as soon as she came in, the man lying on the hospital bed sleepily opened a sliver of his eyes.

"Why aren’t you coming up?" he asked, sounding quite displeased.

Yin Hehe: "..."

With no choice, she took off her coat and lay down on the bed as well.

"Sleep!" The man who finally had her in his arms emitted a satisfied murmur from within the covers.

Soon, he fell asleep again.

Yin Hehe sighed helplessly.

She looked at the man who once again fell into a deep sleep amidst the darkness, and without the slightest bit of sleepiness, she began to tenderly trace the contours of his brows and eyes with her hand.

He really was very handsome.

The distinct lines of his features, the high bridge of his nose, the thin lips, even his eyelashes were like little fans, enough to make her, a woman, envious.

"Mmm... stop messing around!" Disturbed in the midst of a sweet dream, the man with his eyes closed showed his displeasure.

He very accurately grabbed the woman’s restless hands on his face, and his lips found hers with a fierce certainty.

Yin Hehe: "..."

Damn it, this bastard, even when asleep, could still so precisely find her lips.

Yin Hehe’s heartbeat accelerated, her pretty face blushing in the night.

Fortunately, after she ceased moving, the man slowly released her, and his thin lips, after parting from the sweetness of her lips, indolently licked his own in the slumber, as if savoring the aftertaste of the moment.

Yin Hehe: "..."

"Ding!"

Suddenly, the sound of the fingerprint lock being accessed next door echoed.

Was there movement?

Yin Hehe’s eyes immediately opened sharply in the darkness like those of an eagle.

Minutes later, when she stepped out of the hospital room, she saw that the door to the surveillance room next door was now merely a crack.

In an instant, her complexion changed, and she sprinted to the window of the observation room.

Indeed, once she arrived, she saw a person in a white coat, with a large mask covering their face, entering the room, and now, he was approaching Xiahou Yi, who lay on the hospital bed.

"Cheng Chi, there’s movement!"

She immediately pressed the micro-communicator in her ear, trying to notify Cheng Chi.

But at that moment, a shadowy figure appeared behind her, moving to her back like a wraith.

"What are you looking at?"

"!!!!!"

Chills ran up Yin Hehe’s spine, and she swiftly turned around, nearly scared out of her wits at the sight of this shadow standing behind her.

"You... who are you?" she asked in utter terror.

At that moment, the shadow swiftly pulled out a needle and stabbed it towards her neck with the speed of lightning.

"Ah—" Yin Hehe could no longer move; even her voice seemed to be silenced instantly.

"Don’t move. Be good, and I definitely won’t take your life. After all, someone told me you’re a rare talent."

The figure supported the collapsing Yin Hehe, whispering eerily in her ear.

Yin Hehe’s vision began to blur.

She reached out, trying to struggle, but found herself completely devoid of strength; even trying to speak, she couldn’t make a sound.

So she was prey too?

The last thing Yin Hehe was conscious of was the realization of her own stupidity.

She was taken away.

Meanwhile, in the surveillance room, someone had stopped the drip on Xiahou Yi’s IV line and was preparing to inject air into his vein with an empty syringe.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, the loud sound of a door being forcefully flung open came from the next hospital room.

The person was startled, immediately halting his actions.

"What’s going on? How... how did the young master Xiahou come out?" The loud noise finally alarmed the nurses at the station.

They were shocked to see the young master of the Xiahou family rushing out barefoot from the unused room, eyes wide in astonishment.

"Young master, where are you going? It’s so cold, why did you come out without wearing any clothes or shoes?"

The head nurse reacted and hurriedly chased after him with her questions.

However, he seemed oblivious to her, and after dashing out of the hospital ward, his bloodshot eyes locked onto the descending elevator, and like a madman, he bolted straight for the stairs.

"Young master..." The head nurse’s heart was racing.

Luckily, at that moment, Cheng Chi appeared, quickly arriving with his team, just in time to encounter the young master.

His face changed: "President, what happened?"

"A bunch of trash! Can’t even keep an eye on a person!"

He spat out these words through clenched teeth, and the next second, he kicked open the stairwell door and stepped through.

 

Chapter 340: Chapter 340: You Try Touching Her?

That night, in the city center, a heart-stopping high-speed chase unfolded between a black van and a silver-gray BMW 5 series.

Both vehicles set off from the military hospital, speeding all the way to the city center. It was like a scene from a movie as they raced down the asphalt road, alarming even the head of the Traffic Authority.

"What’s going on? Who’s street racing? This is the city center, who gave them the audacity to do this?"

After arriving at the command center, the director saw the two vehicles that had thrown the entire city center into chaos, slamming the desk furiously!

The captain saw his reaction and hurried over to explain, "We’ve checked, and one of the cars belongs to... the Xiahou Family!"

"What? The Xiahou Family?" The director’s eyes bulged like copper bells upon hearing this.

"Why is he street racing? Has he gone mad? And he came here to do it?"

"I don’t know. I just made a call to ask. The other party said they were unaware, but there’s a situation. Something happened at the hospital, and it seems like their special young master drove out in pursuit."

"!!!"

It was like a clap of thunder had exploded overhead.

The director, standing in the control center, suddenly didn’t know how to proceed with the command.

After all, the influence of the Xiahou Family in the capital was common knowledge.

Everyone knew their special younger son was now considered a fool. What was he to do?

With no other choice, the director could only notify everyone in the capital to intercept the young master, of course without harming him.

However, upon closer observation, they would have discovered that in this deadly pursuit, the silver-gray BMW wasn’t causing any harm to the innocent public. Its driver’s skills were extremely adept, even though the black van was deliberately luring him into the busy area.

But as soon as he reached that area, he would stop.

Then cleverly continue the blockade from the side, once again cornering the black van into a dead end.

"Didn’t they say he had gone stupid? Why is he now as crafty as a ghost? How am I supposed to take him away like this?"

After being chased for over an hour, the black van hadn’t even broken out of the city center and was finally running on fumes.

He made a phone call, "Hello? I can’t get the guy out. The information you provided was fake. Xiahou Yi, this illegitimate son, isn’t stupid at all! He’s pursuing me so closely I might die at his hands!"

He said this with great anger.

Upon hearing this, the person on the phone was silent for a moment. Shortly afterward, a few words heavy with killing intent were passed along, "Then kill him!"

"..."

Kill him?

The man driving the black van grew excited at these words.

Indeed, killing was his type of business!

"Vroom—" Slamming the gas pedal, the black van took off like a rocket, no longer holding back and charging forward.

The silver-gray BMW following closely behind immediately gave chase without hesitation.

However, it quickly became apparent something was amiss. This time, the van wasn’t just circling around the city center.

It was heading straight for the overpass with breakneck speed.

The man behind the wheel narrowed his pupils, and the next second, he tapped the communicator in his ear and crisply issued an order, "Ring road overpass, send three cars to block it, helicopter intercept!"

There couldn’t have been a clearer command.

So, within just ten minutes or so, the director of the Traffic Authority, watching from the command center, found himself gaping at a scene on the overpass that one would expect only in a blockbuster movie.

"Boom!"

With the exit blocked by three top-of-the-line off-road vehicles, the black van stranded on the overpass suddenly saw a huge helicopter descending rapidly from above.

In an instant, everyone was stunned!

Mad, this person really is mad. To chase a woman, he actually made such a big ruckus. Is there something wrong with his brain?

The black van couldn’t move anymore.

Clenching his teeth, he opened the car door, dragged out the unconscious woman, and held a dagger to her throat.

"Don’t come any closer, or I’ll kill her!"

He warned the occupants of the silver BMW that had also caught up, as he stared at them.

The BMW stopped.

Not long after, the car door opened, and a man dressed only in thin pajamas, barefoot, got out and stood in front of him.

"You try it!"

The man wasn’t afraid at all. He didn’t even blink as he stared at the driver of the van and spoke as if he were a ghost.

The driver of the van: "..."

For a moment, he suddenly started to panic. That feeling made even the dagger in his hand start to slip.

"As long as you let me live, I’ll give her back to you."

He finally proposed his terms, trembling.

However, what he didn’t know was that the moment he laid hands on this woman, his chance for a way out had vanished.

"Bang!" Cheng Chi’s bullet came from behind, piercing straight through his brow.

Instantly, his eyes widened. He didn’t even make a sound before he fell stiffly to the ground.

As he fell, Yin Hehe, whom he was holding hostage, also slid down limply. If it weren’t for the man opposite who dashed over in an instant and held her tightly in his arms, she would have fallen to the ground.

"President, are you alright?"

Cheng Chi came over and saw the man half-kneeling on the ground, clutching the woman tightly, covered in blood from several places. He quickly asked with concern.

The life-and-death skirmish that had just taken place was so fast even their bodyguards couldn’t keep up with him; it showed how incredibly fast he moved.

So, it was normal for him to be injured.

But the man didn’t respond to him; instead, he first checked the woman in his arms, relieved to see her breathing evenly and not spotting any injuries on her body. He let out a sigh of relief and stood up with her in his arms.

Seeing this, Cheng Chi promptly followed behind.

But just as they were bringing the woman back to the BMW, the man suddenly stopped, then clutched his head, showing an expression of pain. Without any warning, he collapsed forward.

"President!"

Cheng Chi behind him was immediately horrified.

----

Half an hour later, at the Shen family home.

Shen Nanming, who had been waiting the whole night, heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming in and immediately stood up from the sofa in the living room.

"How did it go? Was it a success?"

He looked at his returning father and asked anxiously.

But when Shen Weihuai saw him, his expression twisted ferociously as if he wanted to devour him alive.
