Qiao Shiyun put down the phone, and there was a knock on the door. There were only five very cautious sounds.
His thick brows furrowed slightly, and he turned out of bed very neatly. He quickly reached the entrance and opened the door. When he saw the middle-aged man standing outside, Qiao Shiyun carefully looked around and lowered his voice.
"...Did you notice anything when you came here?"
"No, sir, I have something important to see you for."
"Come in."
…………
The door was closed, and the two men walked towards the ward one after another. This was a VIP ward, but the room was not particularly large. Qiao Shijun walked to the edge of the bed and sat directly on the sofa opposite.
Going up, he folded his legs and looked at the respectful middle-aged man aside, "Is there a problem in City B?"
The man nodded slightly, "...Master, I don't know if there is really a problem, but to be cautious, I came here to report the situation to you."
"explain."
"...Well, a few days ago, a woman just came out from the prison. Because the woman had spent the most time in contact with her before, so after she was taken out by the people over there, for the sake of caution, I still found
People investigated the whereabouts of that woman and found that she had been to City C."
Qiao Shiyun's movement of pinching the bridge of his nose suddenly stopped, and his slightly cloudy vision became extremely sharp in an instant. He raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said sternly: "What's going on? Come to City C? Say something.
clear!"
"...I'm not sure what happened, but the only thing I can confirm at the moment is that the woman's name is Wu Mingjun. When she came to City C, she went to the area where the Shen family's old house used to be. So...I doubt it.
, these two people had contact in prison. As soon as she came out, she went to find the Shen family's old house, probably to find the Shen family. But fortunately, she didn't know that the Shen family's daughter had already
When we arrived at Qiao's house, Wu Mingjun didn't know that Mrs. Qiao was actually the daughter of the Shen family. Now I have sent people to secretly monitor Wu Mingjun."
…………
Outside the ward, Zijin's whole body was pressed against the door panel. She clenched the bag in her hands tightly with both hands, and her slightly pursed lips were trembling——
In fact, the sound insulation effect of the doorknob of this ward is very average. People who deliberately want to "eavesdrop" can naturally hear a thing or two clearly.
She didn't hear the two figures who were talking very clearly inside just now, but intermittently, she heard "city B", "Shen family", "woman", "prison", "surveillance"...
…
Zijin held his breath subconsciously. His already tense emotions were like a rubber band, completely stretched.
--what is going on?
She must have heard correctly, the Shen family, Mrs. Qiao, the Shen family's daughter... aren't these the ones she is talking about?
But, what is going on with City B, the prison, the women... these?
…………
Zi Jin was even more confused. She didn't know what she heard. In fact, she shouldn't doubt Qiao Shiyun. How could he be harmful to her? But... what did she hear?
City B... City B... and the old house of her Shen family... She couldn't help but think of what she had talked about with Gu Yanshen before.
The land in the western suburbs was originally the hometown of the Shen family, but later she discovered that it had become a commercial district. She told Gu Yanshen about it that day. Gu Yanshen didn't say much at the time, but Zi Jin also
It was not that she was really unconscious. She always felt that this matter was not that simple, but she still refused to think of Qiao Shiyun.
How could he harm himself?
You must be overthinking it, right?
…………
"...Miss, what are you doing here?"
Suddenly a male voice sounded from behind, interrupting Zi Jin's chaotic thoughts. She suddenly came back to reality, her face turned pale with fright, she turned around and saw a doctor in a white coat looking at her in surprise.
Probably seeing her true face in Lushan, the doctor immediately put on a smile.
"...Ms. Qiao, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now. Are you here to see Master Qiao?"
Zijin's heart was pounding, like a thief who was caught red-handed. Her face was now whiter than paper, and her dry lips were still trembling, because she was too
Feeling guilty, completely speechless.
"…………"
The doctor saw that her face was so ugly but she never said a word. He was a little confused in his heart. However, before he could say anything again, the door of the ward was opened from the inside. Qiao Shiyun came out with a serious face, and his eyes fell on
He frowned on Zijin's face, "Zijin, why are you back again? When did you come?"
"……dad."
Zijin's voice was trembling. She subconsciously squeezed her hands hanging by her side, stretched out her tongue and licked her dry lips, her voice was very soft, "...I, just now Jinglian left, I...
…I just came over to see you, I haven’t said a word to you before.”
Although he spoke a little bit intermittently, he still finished the sentence.
Zijin secretly took two deep breaths and told himself that no matter what the truth of the matter was, at least for now, he must not mess up his position——
Yes, she can't get into trouble. Before everything is clear, she must be calm. She must be calm.
"...Dad, I came here just now. I was about to knock on the door when the doctor came over." This was the first time Zijin discovered that Zijin could lie without drafting. He was probably really panicked to a certain extent.
Instead, he slowly calmed down.
The doctor's eyes flickered. In fact, she had just seen Zijin secretly sticking to the door panel, but now she suddenly said that as Qiao Shijun's attending doctor, of course she did not dare to speak nonsense.
Everyone in City C doesn't know that the head of the Qiao family, Qiao Shiyun, loves this daughter-in-law the most. He was exposed to cheating scandals before, but now he's talking and laughing with her, right?
The doctor thought that it would be better if he didn't say anything.
"Yes, Master Qiao, Mrs. Qiao just came over."
Qiao Shiyun nodded calmly, "Dr. Wu, what's the matter with you coming over?"
"Oh, I'm here to remind Mr. Qiao that it's almost time for you to take your medicine."
Qiao Shiyun nodded and looked at Zijin, "I have nothing to do. I will probably stay in the hospital these days. However, Qiao has a board meeting tomorrow and I will personally chair it. Zijin, you are also a shareholder of Qiao. Remember this tomorrow.
Gotta be there.”
Zi Jin's mind was not on the shareholders' meeting at all. She just wanted to leave quickly. She nodded in agreement with what Qiao Shiyun said, and finally said: "...Dad, if you are okay, I won't disturb your rest."
.”
There was someone hiding in Qiao Shijun's ward. He had not thought that Zi Jin, who had always been so obedient and believed in him, could deceive him. In addition, he believed what the doctor had just said. Zi Jin must have not heard anything.
After arriving, he followed her words very naturally and said: "I took the medicine and I really want to rest. You can go back first."
Zijin exhaled softly, "...Dad, please go to bed early."
…………
※※※※※
Zijin held his breath and did not dare to stay for a moment. He walked directly to the gate of the hospital, stopped a taxi, got in the car and told the driver the address of Gu Yanshen's apartment.
It was already afternoon, and she thought it was not convenient to go to Qiao's. She had to go to the apartment to wait for Gu Yanshen to get off work.
Should she also tell Gu Yanshen what she heard just now?
Her brain is so messed up now that she can't think normally, and she's not sure whether she should tell Gu Yanshen what she just heard. But the only thing she is sure of is that the only person she wants to see now and can see is Gu Yanshen.
.
…………
When the car arrived at the downstairs of the apartment, Zijin paid the money and quickly entered the apartment building without even finding the change.
Along the way, the conversation she just heard flashed through her mind intermittently. Every time it flashed through her mind, terrible thoughts would seep into her mind. There was always one thing that she had always firmly believed in.
The thing is being pushed hard by a pair of big hands...
She wished she could have her whole world turned upside down.
…………
When she pressed the password, her slender fingers kept shaking. She pressed it several times, but she pressed it wrong. When she pressed it for the fourth time, the door of the apartment was suddenly opened from the inside by someone wearing home clothes.
The man stood erect in front of her with one hand in his trouser pocket and the other pressed against the edge of the door.
"…………"
Zijin raised her head and suddenly saw the exquisite facial features that were familiar to the depths of her soul. Her throat tightened and she moved her lips, "...Yanshen, I..."
Before she finished speaking, Gu Yanshen let go of the door edge, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her in with a gloomy expression.
"Do you know you're back?"

I am here to tell you solemnly that I am very grateful to you book fans who support me in writing books, but I am just a ninth-rate writer who writes books, and I am nothing. I have emotions and pressure, and I am not in a good mood.
Okay, what I can do is to write as much as possible every day, but please don’t always pick on my updates. Even if I can’t be the best updater on the entire site, I’m definitely worthy of what you spend on me.
Novel b, I will not maliciously interrupt or update less. Even if I go out to play outside, I will try my best to update, but the updates are a little less. This article started at the end of 2013. During the Chinese New Year, I have interrupted updates.
How many? I went to Hong Kong before. Did I update intermittently? I updated 6,000 times and combined them into one update. Every day someone said I updated less and others updated 2 times. I only updated once. It was so slow. I didn’t want to read it... I just left if I didn’t want to read it.
Well, I'm just a layman who writes stories. I'm not here to serve you. No matter if I pay 3,000 per update or 6,000 per update, even if it's 1,000 per update or 5,000 per update, I'm always stuck with the plot.
It's my right to choose. Don't nag me, why do I update it once a day, or why do I update it every 3,000 times? Can you just look at the Braille numbers yourself?
