Chapter 188: Miss Shen, You Are No Longer Our Employer
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Actually, it had been a long time since Shen Qingyue divorced Qin Zhen. Occasionally, Madam Qin would think that Shen Qingyue had truly moved on, but then she would reconsider, finding it impossible to believe. Who would use five billion as a bargaining chip for a marriage that was destined to go nowhere if not out of deep love? Yet she hadn’t anticipated that when Shen Qingyue loved, it was passionate and intense, and when she left, there was no lingering attachment.
Shen Qingyue did not want to waste her breath any longer. Communicating with the Qin family was too tiresome. She turned and opened the car door, getting in.
However, Madam Qin couldn’t let go and continued to question persistently, “You really don’t want to remarry Qin Zhen? Are you just going to watch him marry someone else?”
While starting the car engine, Shen Qingyue remained calm, saying, “Your son has a bad temper, he’s fickle, irritable, unreasonable, and he likes to play the drama of having extramarital affairs. Besides those who are after your family’s money, who would genuinely like him? If it weren’t for… forget it, I can’t afford a man like him.” After saying this, she stepped on the gas pedal and left directly.
What Shen Qingyue did not notice was that Qin Zhen had been standing not far away the whole time. This made his already sickly pale face even paler.
So, in Shen Qingyue’s eyes, was he really such a person? She used to love him
so much… was it all fake? This immense contrast weighed heavily on his heart, a feeling he could not shake off no matter what…
When Shen Qingyue returned home, she realized her phone was dead and turned off. She noticed several missed calls from Chi Ming. Upon seeing the message, she could not help but smirk and dialed back. It rang for a long time, but no one answered, and it automatically disconnected. She pursed her lips and dialed Zhang Jianci’s number, but got the same result.
This made her feel a vague sense of unease. Just then, her browser pushed a news notification to her.

Shen Qingyue almost dropped her phone. She tremblingly clicked on the news, looking at the horrifying pictures, and she was completely panicked. It couldn’t be true. She had already warned Chi Ming, and he had promised… the things he promised her, he would definitely fulfill.
But even so, she couldn’t control the anxiety in her heart. She kept dialing Chi Ming’s phone number repeatedly, but it still did not go through.
Shen Qingyue fell silent for a while, then directly booked a flight ticket to the gambling city. Right now, she had only one thought: to confirm Chi Ming’s safety.
When Chi Ming was by her side before, she had never realized his importance, even when she was chasing after Qin Zhen, she often ignored Chi Ming. But he had seeped into her life like air, making her accustomed to his presence, almost imperceptibly.
She didn’t know when it had started, but her feelings for him had changed.
Just then, her bodyguard, stationed at the hospital, called her. She answered the phone in confusion, hearing the urgency in the bodyguard’s voice: “Miss Shen, Mr. Shen has been taken into the operating room again, you need to come and see him!”
Shen Qingyue was startled, “What happened? He was fine yesterday, right? Didn’t the doctor say he would be discharged soon?”
“We don’t know the details…” the bodyguard hesitated. “Mr. Shen signed a property transfer agreement before he lost consciousness, transferring all his assets to Miss Yan Xi… You are no longer our employer.”
The bodyguard was making this call out of sentimentality, otherwise, according to protocol, he couldn’t report Shen Jun’s situation to Shen Qingyue.
Shen Qingyue understood; it must be Yan Xi and Xu Fengzhi’s doing. So when Yan Xi invited her to dinner with the Tang family tonight, it probably wasn’t just for showing off; it was to get her out of the way. Xu Fengzhi she could understand, but why would Yan Xi do this? How could she even target her grandfather?
Shen Qingyue stepped into the elevator and called Chen Ying, instructing her to gather a few people. As the bodyguard had said, she was no longer their employer. The hospital was now under Yan Xi’s influence. If she went there now, she would probably be kicked out.
At the hospital.
Chen Ying hurriedly arrived, following Shen Qingyue. “I was just watching the news. They said the gambling city was attacked. I remember a few days ago you mentioned Chi Ming went there. Have you managed to contact him?”
Shen Qingyue hesitated for a moment, then quickly regained her composure..
“His phone isn’t reachable, but he must be fine! Probably just busy and didn’t check his phone…’
