Ch. 36..40: Mr CEO Ex-wife Escapes Again Chapter 36-40
Chapter 36: President, Are You Going to Save Your Ex-Wife? Sheng Siyuan eventually made a call to Xu Guannan, instructing him to look into the matter.
About ten minutes later, Xu Guannan replied.
[Young Master, I’ve found out that Han Lina was indeed taken away by Yin Xue from the hospital entrance this morning.]
[?]
A hint of astonishment flashed through Sheng Siyuan’s eyes as he looked down at the little guy beside his feet, only to find him staring intently back at him.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
After a long while, he frowned deeply and dialed directly.
“Why did Yin Xue take her away? Didn’t Yin Beixiao handle this matter yesterday?”
He rarely remembered the incident from yesterday when the two sisters fought at the hospital, thinking they were going to go at it again.
But Xu Guannan denied it over the phone.
“It seems someone heard Yin Xue say she was taking the nanny to the Yin Family’s house, with no intention of kidnapping.”
“?”
The man fell silent.
After a moment, he looked down again at the little creature beside him and said, “Did you hear that? She’s just going to someone’s house for a meal.”
He was really testing his patience.
If it were anyone else, they would have already thrown the phone, then kicked it away.
Yet, the little one still didn’t appreciate it. After hearing this, he was still waving his little fists.
“Impossible, my aunt would never go to her house for dinner!”
“…”
“Daddy, that’s a bad woman. She just argued with my aunt yesterday. How could she possibly invite my aunt over for a nice meal?”
He argued with great agitation.
Sheng Siyuan was taken aback.
In that instant, he suddenly realized that his brain might not be as sharp as this little guy’s.
Could it really be affected by the anesthesia?
“Xu Guannan, go check out the Yin Family’s place.” He swiped his phone screen and had to send another message to his assistant.
Who would have thought that after this message was sent, Xu Guannan quickly sent back an ominous reply.
“We’ve already had someone check it out, Young Master, and it’s not good. Miss Han was not found at the Yin Family’s house.”
“…”
The man’s thought process paused for a second.
Xu Guannan continued, “Secretary Chen mentioned that when Yin Rong came to see you yesterday, you told him that the condition for seeing the child was to ‘deal with’ this nanny, correct?”
This assistant even brought up this matter.
Sheng Siyuan’s expression turned very ugly.
“Damn it, I told him to send that damned woman back to the country. Is his head filled with shit?”
“Um…” Xu Guannan felt quite helpless.
“Young Master, not everyone is as smart as you, especially dimwits like Yin Rong.”
He weakly reminded his boss.
Then, the call fell into a terrifying silence.
It’s not terrifying to be misinterpreted by others, but it’s horrifying to be called out to your face.
The man’s fingers crackled ominously.
Xu Guannan sensed it and quickly spoke up again: “But I already know where the person was taken.”
“Where?”
“She was taken to Queen’s Wharf. Young Master, do you remember Zhao Jiu’s gambling den? It’s on the cruise ship at Queen’s Wharf.”
Xu Guannan briefly explained over the phone.
A gambling den?
Sheng Siyuan certainly knew of this place; all of Jiangbei was under his rule, and what could possibly be hidden from him?
“And then? Does Yin Rong plan to take her there to gamble?”
His handsome face immediately darkened as he asked.
There was no helping it; lately, ever since finding out about that dead woman’s identity and witnessing some of her tricks, he wouldn’t put it past her to believe that gambling was a normal activity for her!
Yet, the assistant denied it.
“No, I suspect she was sold by Yin Rong to Zhao Jiu for drug trafficking.”
“What did you say?”
As these words came out, the man’s pupils shrunk instantly.
Xu Guannan nodded, “Yes, Young Master may not be aware, but although Zhao Jiu appears to be running a casino, he has actually been FDing in Southeast Asia all along.”
“…”
“So, the chances are high that Miss Han was sold to be a mule. Moreover, didn’t you say so yourself? To have Yin Rong get rid of her.”
This assistant brought up the term again.
In an instant, upon hearing this, the man’s temples throbbed fiercely and he clenched his fingers until they cracked ominously.
“Then what are you waiting for? Do you need me to teach you what to do?”
Every word sent chills down the spine.
Xu Guannan immediately hung up the phone.
Several minutes later, in the hospital room where the call ended, Sheng Siyuan, with his face ghastly pale, deliberately avoided looking at the child beside him and pulled the needle from the back of his hand.
Cen Bao: “…”
It wasn’t until he saw his daddy ignoring the blood trickling from the back of his hand and getting off the sickbed looking pale, his eyes blazing with fury and disappointment,
that he began to calm down somewhat.
“You go back and rest first; Daddy will come to find you later.”
Sheng Siyuan did not notice the changes in the little one’s gaze and, after changing clothes, he sent the child back first.
However, the little guy still followed behind and did not budge.
Sheng Siyuan turned back.
“Are you going to save her?”
The four-year-old child stared at him with wide eyes, his little face pale to the point of near-transparency.
Suddenly, Sheng Siyuan felt as if something had pricked his heart.
A thread of regret climbed up.
“Don’t worry, I will make sure she stands before you unharmed.”
He looked down at him, his tone gentle as he assured him.
He wasn’t actually very good at comforting children.
Over the years, even though he had Sheng Xi by his side, most of the time, he had maintained a strict fatherly demeanor, teaching him with structure and discipline.
Speaking soft words like he was now was a first for him.
Fortunately, the little one gave him face, and upon hearing his promise, quickly nodded his little head.
“Okay, if auntie comes back, I’ll forgive you.”
“…”
He needed his forgiveness?
If it weren’t for the fact that the woman was his mother, and he didn’t want this little thing to be motherless after her death,
he wouldn’t have bothered to extend a hand.
In the end, though, the man didn’t say anything, watching the little guy coolly walk away with his toy.
Half an hour later, Sheng Siyuan left the hospital.
“President, the helicopter is ready, but you’ve just had a bone marrow extraction, and the doctors have said you need bed rest…”
“Enough.”
In the night, the tall figure, still showing signs of frailty, interrupted the bodyguard coldly.
“How is Xu Guannan doing? Where are they now?”
“Captain Xu has caught Zhao Jiu. As soon as Zhao Jiu saw it was Captain Xu, he confessed immediately, saying that the person had already left the country.”
The bodyguard quickly relayed the situation from Xu Guannan in the country.
Left the country?
And the woman?
“Yes, Captain Xu said that according to Zhao Jiu’s confession, Miss Han carried several kilograms of DP in her body, and it is likely… more bad luck than good.”
“…”
In the pitch-black night, the man stood there, his mind suddenly going blank.
A few minutes later, the helicopter roared towards Southeast Asia through the night sky, like a fierce beast pouncing rapidly from the mountains.
Chapter 37 Mr. Sheng, please restrain your grief Evening.
On the vast sea where smoke and waves melded together, a ship was slowly sailing.
“How much longer until we arrive?”
As the last glimmer of twilight fell from the horizon, the people inside the ship grew impatient.
He ran to the ship’s bridge and asked.
The captain glanced at the time and replied, “Not so soon, at least six more hours.”
“This long? By that time, those drugged baskets will all be dead, how are we supposed to hand off the goods then?”
Hearing it would take so long, the man cursed and complained.
The captain didn’t respond.
With no reaction, the man had no choice but to walk away, and he then made his way to the lowest level of the ship.
Sure enough, once there, he saw several young women lying in a dimly lit space, hugging their bellies and curled up, shivering in pain from a distance.
“Brother Dao, how is it? Did you ask when we’ll arrive? Where’s the detour point this time? How much longer?”
Someone else came down and, upon seeing the man with the scar on his face standing there, he asked.
Taking the water route from the mainland to Myanmar definitely couldn’t be done in just a few hours; it would take about ten days.
Therefore, every trip, they would find a detour point to change for a plane, as it was safer and faster that way.
But this time, the detour point was clearly much further away.
“First, give them an injection, don’t let them die!”
The scarred man didn’t answer the question, instead noticing the women on the ground clutching their bellies as if they were about to die.
He ordered the injections first.
Seeing this, the person who had come down called over the nurse who was accompanying them on the ship.
“Give them an injection, a stronger dose, especially that one,” he pointed at the one with the particularly large belly.
“Mmm…”
The nurse, wearing a mask, nodded and soon, she began pushing a small cart full of various medical supplies towards the women.
The scarred man, seeing this, left.
However, what the two men didn’t know was that, not long after they left, the nurse in the underground cabin swapped the drugs in her hand for a cardiac stimulant.
“Bear with it.”
She whispered softly to the first woman as she injected the solution into her arm, illuminated by the dim light of the cabin.
Quickly, the woman calmed down.
Then, she proceeded to inject the others with the same solution, one by one.
Until, she came to the woman with the largest belly.
Her stomach was indeed huge, as if it were about to burst from something inside, even her abdomen protruded outward, eliciting an uncomfortable feeling in anyone who saw it.
Furthermore, she was also unsightly.
Her face, thin and yellow, was covered in spots; now she lay there on the ground, blending with the dust and bloodstains.
It made one disinclined to look again.
The nurse crouched in front of her, casting a cold glance before taking a different, light blue syringe from the cart.
That was the real drug!
Furthermore, it was a very high purity type.
“Umm—”
As the sharp needle injected the drug into the woman’s arm, she unexpectedly awoke from her stupor.
“You…”
In an instant, after clearly seeing everything before her eyes, she stared at the petite nurse in front of her with extreme horror.
“How dare you… dare to…”
Before her words were finished, the nurse had cleanly injected the drug into her body.
So, the woman whose eyes were wide open in terror could only helplessly close them again.
“Sleep well. Once you wake up, you’ll be free,” the nurse pulled out the needle.
When she stood up, she glanced at the woman’s face and, despite herself, revealed a hint of pity.
The sea was calm and quiet throughout the night.
At the crack of dawn the next day, as the first rays of sunlight leapt from the sea surface, the people who had been silent all night aboard the ship began to stir with excitement.
“Brother Dao, are we almost there?”
“Yes, get ready!” the man with the scar gave a very affirmative response.
Immediately, the excited underling volunteered to go down to the hold to fetch the person.
“Nurse, come with me to bring up the person.”
“…Oh, okay.”
The nurse, having been woken up, had no choice but to crawl out of her cabin.
Soon, the two made their way to the lower cabin.
“Ah—”
A scream of sheer terror emanated from the cabin.
The scarred man outside heard it and immediately his face changed; he ran inside.
“What are you screaming about? What happened?”
“Brother, it’s… it’s not good, that woman… she’s dead!”
It was completely unexpected that when he came in, the underling would be pointing at a body on the floor, panic-stricken, with the shocking news of a death.
“Ah—”
The drug mule was dead.
And the drugs she carried inside her body would be affected too.
The scarred man’s color drained from his face, and he took an urgent step forward, arriving at the corpse.
She was indeed dead.
The woman who was carrying a large shipment, lay lifeless on the ground, her skin a mottled purple, looking like an expired piece of pork.
A death by drug overdose looked just like this.
“Why is this happening? Didn’t I tell you to give her an injection last night? Why is she still dead? Where’s the nurse? Where’s the nurse?!”
He roared hysterically, searching for the nurse.
The nurse was already so scared that she couldn’t even get up from the floor, and upon hearing she was being sought after, she nearly fainted on the spot.
“Brother Dao, I did as you ordered last night, I… I don’t know why it turned out like this? Could it be something inside her body…”
“Slap!”
Before she could finish her sentence, the scarred man had already slapped her fiercely.
Instantly, the petite and delicate nurse was sent sprawling to the ground, struggling to catch her breath for a long time.
Even her mask had fallen aside.
“You wretch, how dare you shirk responsibility here? I’ll kill you right now!”
A murderous gleam flashed in the eyes of the scarred man as he bent down again, intending to strangle the nurse on the spot!
Finally, the nurse’s expression changed.
Staring at the ground, her glassy eyes shrank in a place where the others couldn’t see, and her hand quietly drew a hair-thin silver needle from her sleeve.
It was a fine needle used in traditional Chinese acupuncture.
Nobody knew that while caring for her child over the years, she had also taught herself the art of Acupuncture Technique, perfecting her skill.
“Brother Dao, something’s wrong, there’s noise outside!”
Just as she was prepared to make a desperate stand, the captain suddenly ran over.
The scarred man stopped abruptly.
“What noise?”
“There’s a helicopter circling over our ship, and I even saw the military waiting at the dock through my binoculars!”
The captain spoke hopelessly from the entrance to the cabin.
The scarred man felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.
Ten minutes later, when the helicopter circling overhead landed on the deck of the ship, all of the people were already huddled with their heads in their hands on the ground.
“Where is the person?”
The man who stepped down from the helicopter, god-like, relaxed slightly when he saw the scene before his refined and handsome countenance.
But soon, after having searched the ship, the bodyguards returned to him, their expressions grave.
“President, Miss Han… she’s dead!”
Chapter 38 He’s Going to be Furious! Sheng Siyuan slowly made his way to the entrance of the underground chamber.
The light was still very dim.
And because of the dead, just reaching the entrance, a foul smell mixed with the damp air hit him in the face.
It nearly made him vomit.
“President?”
The bodyguard, following close behind, saw his boss in discomfort and hurried forward to stop him from entering.
But Sheng Siyuan only paused for a moment, then emotionlessly stepped inside.
“President, Miss Han’s… body is over there.”
Upon entering, Sheng Siyuan immediately saw several young women, listless in spirit, being lifted from the floor by bodyguards.
And the corpse was in the center of the chamber.
Sheng Siyuan’s pupils shrank momentarily.
He wanted to walk over, but at that moment, for some reason, it was as if he suddenly didn’t even have the strength to lift his legs.
All that remained were his eyes, staring fixedly at the corpse.
It was indeed her.
He saw her face, still wearing that ugly disguise of a mask. After being poisoned, her lips and eyes bulged out like fermented dough, purplish-blue, making one feel even more nauseous.
Sheng Siyuan lifted his hand.
He instinctively wanted to cover his mouth and nose, but when he came to, he found himself already standing beside the body.
In his hand was the white cloth she had on her.
“President, you…”
“…You all go out!” He paused for quite some time before he heard his own hoarse voice speak.
So, the bodyguards left.
In passing, they dragged out the small nurse who had been crouching nearby, hugging her head and shivering.
“This one is their accomplice too, take her out as well!”
“Yes.”
Then, the bodyguard grabbed the nurse by the arm.
The nurse did not dare make a sound.
After being pulled up with her disheveled appearance, she was quickly dragged out by the two bodyguards as easily as an eagle snatching a chick.
“I haven’t allowed you to die yet!”
The man’s voice, gritting his teeth, suddenly came from behind.
The nurse paused.
After a long moment, just as she was about to be dragged out, she slowly turned her head back to look at the two bodyguards.
She discovered that the man behind her had indeed erupted.
He, like a beast finally awakened, viciously grabbed the body, then held her by the collar and yanked her up.
“What gives you the right to die? I, Sheng Siyuan, haven’t granted you that power, so what gives you the right to die?”
He questioned fiercely.
Those bloodshot eyes were like his target for revenge had suddenly vanished, a boundless hatred with nowhere to vent.
It made his entire expression maniacal.
The nurse appeared stunned for a moment.
She died?
And he’s actually unhappy about it?
The flicker of relief that had just started to appear in her eyes slowly faded; she withdrew her gaze with no struggle and was led away.
A few minutes later, she was also thrown onto the deck.
“Listen well, if you want to survive, once you’re ashore, confess all your crimes to the police.”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
Upon hearing this, the drug dealers immediately agreed like pecking chickens.
The nurse also held her head and sat obediently without moving.
She was calculating how she would escape once on shore.
But curiously, once the boat finally docked, everyone on the deck was taken away except for her, the nurse.
“Big… Big brother, don’t I need to go ashore?”
Seeing the last person was taken away, she looked at the empty deck and couldn’t help but lift her dirty face to ask carefully.
The words had barely left her mouth when she saw the bodyguard stare at her with a spine-chilling look.
“Our CEO wants to see you.”
“!!!!”
In an instant, her back went cold.
Why did he want to see her? Had he discovered her?
No, it wasn’t that he had discovered her; rather, it was that something was off about the body. After all, this man was exceptionally shrewd.
The nurse’s ashen face drained of all its color.
Indeed, hardly five minutes after the bodyguard’s words, she saw two people supporting a figure emerging from below deck.
He hunched over, his face as pale as a corpse. If not for the support of the two bodyguards, the wind over the sea likely could have blown him away.
Then don’t overexert yourself.
The nurse shifted her gaze away.
“President, this is the nurse. Zhao Jiu sent a shipment of drugs and arranged for a doctor and a nurse, but strangely, no doctor has been seen on board.”
When the bodyguard saw the boss approaching, he gave a simple introduction of the nurse.
As soon as he finished speaking, the supported Sheng Siyuan cast a glance over.
When he saw the little nurse hugging her head, squatting on the ground like a quail, another surge of blood pressure rose, and his body shook even more violently!
“President, are you okay? Do you need to go ashore to see a doctor?”
“Yes, President. You’ve just had a bone marrow extraction. It’s too dangerous. Shouldn’t we go ashore now?”
The bodyguards turned deathly white at the sight.
But the man refused them. His hands trembling, he had the bodyguards drag a chair over for him.
Then, he sat down as if half-dead.
The nurse: “…”
She always had a bad feeling.
“Lift your head!”
Having sat down, the man finally felt a little better.
But when he slowly propped himself up and glared over with a chilling gaze, full of unabashed hostility, it struck fear into anyone who heard.
The nurse’s palms immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
But after a moment, she still timidly raised her head, her eyes wide and terrified like a deer caught in headlights.
She looked at the man in utter panic.
The man’s gaze sharpened.
This was a face so battered that its features were almost distorted. After spending a night in the cabin with the drug-hiding women, who knew what this nurse had been through?
Now, her entire face was almost unrecognizable.
“President, when we entered, Zhao Jiu’s henchmen were beating her. They probably just discovered Miss Han’s death at that time.”
Seeing that the boss hadn’t responded after seeing the beaten nurse, the bodyguard hurriedly added another explanation.
Upon hearing this, the nurse’s eyes reddened and two tears fell.
The man: “…”
After a long while, the man’s eyes, sharp as a hawk’s and amber-colored, slowly withdrew their gaze.
“So how exactly did she die? Did you kill her?”
He spoke deliberately, as if he wanted to devour the nurse!
The nurse quickly shook her head: “No… it wasn’t me. It was them. They made me administer an overdose of drugs to that Miss.”
“Is that so?”
Listening to her deliberately high-pitched voice, he restrained himself for a long time before he managed not to kick her.
The nurse did not notice and nodded: “Yes, and then this morning, Scarface discovered she was dead and thought I did it. He wanted to kill me.”
Her voice trailed off as she said the word “kill,” growing much quieter.
Perhaps she was recalling how, if this man had not arrived, she would have truly died at that scar-faced man’s hands only a short while ago.
Sheng Siyuan stared at her quietly for a few seconds.
“Cough cough cough cough… ”
“President? Are you okay?”
The sudden coughing caused the bodyguards to panic again.
Fortunately, this time the man didn’t insist. After he finished coughing and caught his breath, he stood up from the chair with some support.
Chapter 39 Are Daddy and Mommy Addicted to Playing? The nurse was ultimately taken away.
However, once on shore, she wasn’t taken to the local police station, but was dumped at a hotel.
“You’re lucky, our CEO just had surgery and needs medical care,” they told her.
When the bodyguard locked her up, he made a point of telling her that this was the fortune she had accumulated over several lifetimes.
The nurse let out a cold laugh.
Who the hell wants this kind of fortune?
She closed the door and waited until there was no sound outside before she frantically ran to the phone.
She needed to contact her best friend immediately.
Otherwise, by the time her face was no longer swollen, she’d let that bastard see her true self.
“The phone number is restricted, the phone number is restricted…”
The cold, heartless customer service voice came through the handset, making her want to smash the phone then and there.
What kind of shithole is this?
You can’t even make an international call.
Infuriated, she threw down the handset and ran to the window.
And this time she was even more desperate!
Damn, it’s actually the top floor!!!
“Fuck!”
She cursed loudly.
What troubled her the most wasn’t the fact that her true face was discovered, but that her disguised corpse was seen by that bastard.
If he saw it, it meant that she couldn’t reappear as a nanny anymore.
“Miss, your meal is here.”
Just then, the hotel waiter brought her meal.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up.
A few minutes later, she was on the waiter’s phone, finally in touch with her best friend.
[Caicai, it’s Hehe. I’m in trouble!]
[What?]
The best friend on the other end was so shocked that the steak she was eating dropped out of her mouth.
What a coincidence?
She had just brought Little Bun to Country M, could it be related to them?
The best friend glanced at Little Bun beside her, her face a bit pale.
[What happened?]
[I can’t use my nanny identity anymore, can you help me figure out another identity?]
Yin Hehe quickly explained her dire situation.
Caicai was stunned.
[You’re amazing. The nanny is dead, what good identity can you possibly use to get close to him? Other than yourself, who else could it be?]
She mercilessly highlighted this cruel reality.
Yin Hehe’s face turned even paler.
Of course, she knew that. But she still harbored a sliver of hope.
To think, she had a narrow escape from death just yesterday!
Yesterday, after Zhao Jiu threw her into the cabin, the doctor that came in was ready to surgically implant drugs in her.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, she took out the silver needle she carried with her, and when the doctor bent over to inject her with the anesthetic, she swiftly and accurately stabbed it into his acupuncture point.
The doctor was dealt with.
Later, she put the drugs into his stomach and, to keep it from being discovered, gave him her disguise face too.
As for the nurse, she lured her over under the guise of a doctor’s identity and killed her with the same technique before throwing her into the sea.
She became the nurse.
All this was thanks to her experiences abroad over the past few years, which had given her sufficient courage and adaptability.
Otherwise, she would have long since died at their hands.
Just, she hadn’t expected that upon dawn, when she should have escaped upon reaching shore, Sheng Siyuan arrived.
Was she happy when he showed up?
Of course, the moment she saw this man descend from the heavens before her, she almost pathetically cried.
But he came only to prevent her from dying at someone else’s hands.
Her life could only be taken by him!
Yin Hehe stood by the window, thinking about all this, her amber eyes as cold as the chill of autumn water.
[I must get back to Jiangbei. If you can’t find a way, then I’ll return as Lan Yi!]
[You’re insane!]
As soon as those words came out, Caicai exclaimed in shock on the other end.
Lan Yi, that was the most enigmatic figure in the international legal and political spheres, and also the one who had dealt a heavy hand against Shengshi Group this time.
By exposing herself as Lan Yi, did she no longer wish to live?
“Fine, I’ll have Thousand-Faced Spider send you the disguise materials right now, but as for how your nanny is going to come back to life? You, Lawyer Lan, had better think hard!!”
The bewildered Caicai had no choice but to drop that line before she hung up.
This damn woman was really going to be the death of her.
“Aunt Caicai, was that Mommy? What’s wrong with her? Did she find out Youyou came to see brother?”
Little Bun, who had finally seen her aunt finish chatting, took a big gulp from her milk bottle with her chubby hands and asked in a soft voice.
Caicai then calmed down.
“No, your mommy is playing a game of cat and mouse with your daddy right now, she has no time to bother with us.”
“Wow~~~”
Upon hearing this, Little Bun’s grape-like big eyes immediately shone as bright as stars.
Playing games, that’s cool.
Youyou liked that too, so did that mean Mommy and Daddy had become good friends? They could play games together now.
——
In the end, Yin Hehe set up the trap herself.
However, she wouldn’t be able to revive in the guise of a nanny until three days had passed.
So, for these three days, she still had to be careful not to be discovered.
“Morning, Brother Xu.”
“Hmm, let this nurse out. The president ordered to take her to the hospital to have her face examined.”
That morning, Yin Hehe got up and to her surprise, saw Sheng Siyuan’s bodyguard Xu Guannan had arrived.
After his arrival, he immediately instructed others to take Yin Hehe to have her face examined.
Yin Hehe’s expression changed first thing in the morning.
“No… no need to trouble yourselves, it’s not a severe injury, it will heal on its own.”
She hastily waved her hands to refuse.
But Xu Guannan gave her pig-headed face a cold glance and dropped a comment, “But it is nauseating to look at!”
“…”
She had no rebuttal.
Soon, she, wearing a mask, was led out, heading straight for the hospital.
A perfectly good face had been beaten into such a state, indeed quite nauseating to others. But at this moment, Yin Hehe would have preferred that others found her nauseating.
She was taken to the emergency room.
When the doctor was about to apply medication to her, her intelligent eyes scanned the drugs and quickly memorized them.
“Alright, I’ll take you to see the president.”
“Ah?”
Thinking she could return to the hotel, Yin Hehe suddenly heard this and her pupils quivered violently.
He was alright, wasn’t he?
To take her to see that bastard again, and he was staying in this hospital too?
She reluctantly followed.
True enough, once she got to the VIP ward area, she saw at a glance a tall, slender man’s figure sitting at a small table by the window in the most luxurious ward at the end of the corridor.
At this time, he was still working on his laptop.
“President, I have brought the person.”
Xu Guannan knocked on the door and announced from the outside.
“Come in.”
At those words, the man inside slightly turned his head towards the door, and after a moment, a low and magnetic male voice came through.
Yin Hehe: “…”
Even at that moment, she still couldn’t understand why he would keep a person from the drug lord Zhao Jiu to take care of him.
Was he short on people?
A person from Zhao Jiu’s gang, even if they were medical personnel, they were still criminals.
Yin Hehe pushed the door open and entered.
“Good morning, Mr. Sheng,” she said as she looked at him, forcing her spirits to greet him first.
The man turned his head.
In that instant, bathed in the bright golden light, the man with the golden-rimmed glasses, devoid of his usual stern and sharp demeanor, or maybe it was Yin Hehe’s misconception?
She actually felt that his gaze at that moment was unusually gentle.
Like… the spring water after the snow has cleared in winter, still a bit chilly, but she didn’t feel the suffocating pressure anymore.
Chapter 40 He was breathing heavily. “How did you get involved with Zhao Jiu’s gang?”
Sheng Siyuan was also sizing up this woman.
When he saw her cleaned up from head to toe, but only her face was still swollen like a pig’s head.
Moreover, she was wearing a face mask.
His thin lips curved into an almost imperceptible sneer.
Yin Hehe hurriedly bowed her head and explained, “I… I was captured by them.”
“Is that so?”
The man lazily sitting there countered with an indistinct emotion in his question.
Yin Hehe quickly swore, “It’s true, I and… the doctor were both captured, and she is still on the ship… killed by Scarface.”
The man: “…”
After a good while, his cool gaze finally drifted to the small table in front of him.
It was an autopsy report.
The owner of the report was the corpse of the woman from the ship, who was the doctor mentioned by this woman.
“Alright, I believe you. You can atone for your sins these few days here, and when we return to Jiangbei, I might consider letting you go.”
He finally changed the subject; after taking a sip from the water glass in front of him, he spoke indifferently.
Yin Hehe suddenly looked up.
“Atone for my sins? Mr. Sheng means…?”
“I just had a surgery and haven’t fully recovered yet. I need to recuperate here for a week, and as a nurse, it happens that you can take care of me.”
Sheng Siyuan stated simply.
As his words dropped, the woman in front of him was stunned, staring blankly at him, seemingly unable to accept the sudden turn of events.
Take care of him?
Had she gone mad? Not to mention that she wasn’t even a real nurse.
Just her, with her face being around him day after day, would be like a ticking time bomb.
She was going to explode!
“Mr. Sheng, I…”
“Alternatively, you could refuse and let the military personnel come to take you away.”
The man holding the water glass hadn’t finished speaking when he emotionlessly threw out another sentence.
Yin Hehe immediately shut her mouth!
If she were taken away by the military, that would make it even harder for her to break free.
In this damned place, even if she were a top lawyer, getting mixed up with a drug trafficking gang wouldn’t make it any easier for her to escape.
“Mr. Sheng misunderstood; what I meant is… what does Mr. Sheng need me to do right now? Should I help you to bed to rest?”
“…”
After a while, the man who could not easily express emotions with words finally nodded.
Yin Hehe immediately went over.
When she got in front of him, she lowered her head and reached out her hand, preparing to help him up.
Unexpectedly, he straightforwardly extended his own hand to her.
Yin Hehe: “…”
In that instant, the moment the warmth of the man’s fingers fell into the palm of her hand, her mind buzzed.
She uncontrollably lifted her eyes to look at him.
It was a face with well-defined features.
Wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he slowly stood up with her assistance. In the brilliant light, she saw his sickly pale yet incredibly handsome face, surreally beautiful under the sunlight.
“Seen enough?”
Sheng Siyuan, who was waiting for her to help him up, saw that she was just staring foolishly at him.
His handsome face darkened a little.
She really was getting too familiar.
Fortunately, after his remark, the woman immediately withdrew her gaze in a fluster and helped him to his feet.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
He wasn’t actually that weak.
However, since she said she would help him, he just followed her wish, with of course the intention to have a closer look at her.
Sheng Siyuan lowered his eyes.
But he found that, after she earnestly helped him up, from his angle looking down, he could clearly see the blush at the base of her ear.
And also, the familiar scent on her, like that of peaches, if he got slightly closer, the taste from his memory would penetrate his brain like poison.
Making his breathing momentarily heavier.
“Mr. Sheng, you…”
Yin Hehe finally felt something was wrong.
She looked up at the man who was getting closer and closer to her shoulder, a face hidden behind a mask that was turning redder.
Fortunately, after she reminded him, the man immediately straightened up.
“That’s enough, you can leave now.”
He shrugged her off, annoyance in his tone as he harshly dropped the sentence before heading to the hospital bed by himself.
Yin Hehe: “…”
This capricious temper hadn’t changed at all.
Yin Hehe came out of the ward.
She had wanted to go back to the hotel to think about how to deal with this abrupt situation, but the bodyguard simply wouldn’t let her leave.
“Since the president has asked you to take care of him, you obviously have to stay in the hospital. What do you need to go back to the hotel for?”
“…”
Damn, he really wasn’t lightly sick!
Yin Hehe felt very desperate.
But luckily, when she went to the pharmacy to get medicine for that scoundrel, she found several types of medication she had noticed earlier in the emergency room.
“Doctor, Mr. Sheng said to also take a bit of those medicines.”
She directly requested medication in the scoundrel’s name.
In this place, procedures aren’t as strict as in China; as long as a patient needs something, the pharmacy will provide it.
Yin Hehe took the medicine and went to the restroom.
Moments later, when she came out, her face had swelled up even more.
“What’s wrong with your face? Didn’t you already apply medicine this morning? Why is it still so swollen?”
“Um, Mr. Xu might not know, but I am somewhat allergic to anti-inflammatory drugs, and it takes longer for the swelling to go down for me than for an average person.”
Yin Hehe said to the head of the bodyguards while wearing a mask, her voice tinged with a sense of injustice.
Xu Guannan: “…”
What was the president thinking? Being such a picky person in the past, how could he tolerate a woman with an ugly, pig-headed face taking care of him?
Doesn’t it affect his appetite?
Xu Guannan left.
And Yin Hehe quickly went to the ward with the medicine in hand.
“Mr. Sheng, your medicine.”
She poured a cup of warm water and, taking out the tablets, handed them to the man working on the hospital bed.
The man did not respond.
Not until the woman’s palm with the tablets reached right beneath his eyes.
Sheng Siyuan: “…”
Just as he was about to get angry, he saw the woman’s face, swollen like a risen steamed bun, and he choked back his words.
“What are you doing? Are you trying to make it so I can’t even eat?”
He finally erupted in anger, glaring at the unrecognizable face and wishing he could tear off her mask and shout her name.
Damn, what an idiotic woman!
But this stupid woman was still putting on an act for him.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Sheng, I didn’t do it on purpose, it’s really because I’m allergic to anti-inflammatory drugs. Otherwise, I’ll wait outside, and you can call me when you need me, okay?”
“…”
For several seconds, Sheng Siyuan, whose blood pressure had skyrocketed, was unable to speak.
Luckily, not long after, a phone call came in.
“Hello?”
“Mr. Sheng, I have some unexpected news, and I’m wondering if I should tell you?”
It turned out to be a call from the Jiangbei Police Department.
Sheng Siyuan’s still somewhat pale face immediately showed a hint of displeasure: “If you have something to say, then say it quickly!”
The police immediately spoke: “We found the real nanny, and she isn’t dead.”
It was an astonishing piece of news that Sheng Siyuan never expected to hear.
Sheng Siyuan immediately looked up.
Staring at the woman in front of him, in just a few seconds, the alarmingly dark pupils behind his lenses resembled the approach of a violent storm.
Utterly terrifying!
Yin Hehe felt a chill under that gaze.
Clumsy and at a loss, her amber pupils were filled with panic like that of a frightened little deer.
