Tong Mo thought that since the exam was already missed, she might as well go into the ward to see Uncle Duck.
Gently pushing the door open, Tong Mo saw the once haughty man now lying on the hospital bed with a pale face.
His brow was deeply furrowed, seemingly in great pain.
"Uncle, tell me, how did you end up in such a sorry state?" Tong Mo couldn’t help sighing, shaking her head before lifting her hand to smooth out the furrow between his eyebrows.
The girl’s fingertips were unbelievably soft, and Li Zijue seemed to feel something, his handsome face no longer twisted with pain as before.
"Young Master!" At this moment, a man dressed in a suit rushed in.
"You’re... his driver?" Tong Mo narrowed her eyes, recognizing the man.
In fact, to be precise, this man was Li Zijue’s driver.
"I am." Secretary Chen nodded, while speaking, he approached Li Zijue.
Seeing the bandage around his waist, Secretary Chen’s fingers couldn’t help but clench, and his forehead bulged with veins, "Those people are too devious, they actually ambushed you..."
Secretary Chen grew more and more annoyed as he dwelled on it.
"Um, can I ask what exactly happened?" Tong Mo was too curious, so she couldn’t help but direct the question at him.
Secretary Chen glanced at her but did not speak, as if he was weighing whether she could be trusted.
Seeing his hesitant expression, Tong Mo quickly waved her hand, "If you can’t say it, it’s no big deal."
"Actually, there’s nothing that can’t be said." Secretary Chen pondered for a while, and thinking that Tong Mo was the young master’s fiancée and that the Viscount quite liked her, he eventually told Tong Mo, "A business rival hired someone from the underworld to assassinate our young master."
Tong Mo, struck by a sudden thought, gaped wide enough to fit an egg in her mouth, "My God, is there really such danger in this industry?"
Is it just about being a duck?
Why is the competition so fierce?
They’re even taking up arms!
What on earth has this world come to!
While Tong Mo was lost in wild speculation, the police arrived.
But, contrary to Tong Mo’s expectations, the police’s attitude towards Li Zijue was very respectful, and they even recognized Secretary Chen.
"Secretary Chen, may I ask how is Young Master Li now?"
"He’s out of danger now. As for the testimony..." Secretary Chen spoke and threw the policemen a meaningful glance.
The policemen immediately understood, "Don’t worry, we know what to do."
After saying that, the policemen left the room.
"Miss Tong, you..." Secretary Chen was just about to say something to her when she interrupted him.
"Secretary Chen, did they just call Uncle ’Young Master Li’?" Tong Mo pointed at Li Zijue.
Secretary Chen nodded, "Yes."
"What’s his full name?" Tong Mo asked, frowning.
Thinking about it, she realized that she didn’t even know the man’s name after so long.
What’s more, he too is referred to as Young Master Li.
Could he have any connection with her own fiancé, Viscount Li?
The more Tong Mo thought about it, the more she felt that something was off. Seeing that Secretary Chen was still silent, she became even more anxious, "Secretary Chen, speak up! Could it be that you’ve forgotten your young master’s name?"
"Of course not." Knowing that his young master did not want to reveal his identity to his little fiancée for the time being, Secretary Chen, fearing any slip-up, hastily denied it. Then, after racking his brains, he finally came up with a new name for Li Zijue, "Actually, my young master’s name is... is Li Da!"
