With that, the man stormed off, leaving Lin Yixun standing there in a daze, clutching her lips, frozen like a wooden chicken.
She didn’t know how she got upstairs. By the time she returned to the hospital room, she was still in a daze. Confused and a bit annoyed, she wondered, what on earth did Ouyang Hao mean by that?
Doesn’t he understand the difference between men and women?
"Xiao Xun, what’s wrong with your lips?" Lin’s mother asked, staring at Lin Yixun’s lips.
Lin Yixun instinctively touched her lower lip, only to realize it was still bleeding. She silently cursed Ouyang Hao a thousand times over in her heart - this guy must be a dog, his bite was so vicious!
"Oh, this? Probably bit it by accident while eating just now."
Lin’s mother was evidently skeptical. It was long past mealtime, how could she bite her lip while eating? But she didn’t press the matter, instead she asked tactfully, "Did Xing Yi bring you back?"
At the mention of Xing Yi, Lin Yixun felt a pang in her heart. All her sorrow came rushing back at that moment. She forced a stiff smile and responded perfunctorily, "Yes, he brought me back."
Hearing this, Lin’s mother smiled with relief, "Looks like you two have made up. Well, it’s normal for young people to have their ups and downs. As long as you two are fine, I can rest easy."
Lin Yixun smiled bitterly. She wished she had just had a fight with Xing Yi, rather than being separated by life and death.
Now, she only hoped that her stab had hit Leng Yixiu’s vital point, making him pay with his life for Xing Yi.
However, things didn’t go as planned. As the saying goes, good people don’t live long, but misfortune lasts a thousand years. After five hours of surgery, Leng Yixiu was out of critical condition.
"If the wound was one inch deeper, it would have been tricky. Luckily, his ribs protected his chest, otherwise even the world’s best doctors would have been helpless," the doctor said, taking off his mask and addressing the butler.
"When will President Leng wake up?" the butler asked solemnly.
"If everything goes well, he should wake up tomorrow."
"Good, thank you, doctor."
After seeing the doctor off, the butler was about to enter the ward when he saw Cheng Ying walking towards it. Upon hearing about Leng Yixiu’s injury, she had rushed over from E City.
"How is Yixiu? Is he alright?"
"Miss Cheng, don’t worry. The doctor just finished the surgery, and President Leng is out of critical condition."
"How could this happen? How did he get injured out of nowhere?"
"This..." The butler hesitated, remembering Leng Yixiu’s instructions in the ambulance, and said solemnly, "Miss Cheng, you know that President Leng has made many enemies in the business world over the years. There are countless people who want to harm him out of revenge."
"You’re saying it was a competitor’s retaliation that got Yixiu hurt? Where is the assailant? Has the assailant been caught?"
"Just let the assailant escape? No way, we must have the police catch the assailant!"
"Miss Cheng, President Leng said to put this matter aside for now and not pursue it."
"Why?" Cheng Ying frowned. This was unlike Leng Yixiu, "Yixiu almost lost his life over this. Why not pursue it?"
"As for the specifics, you can ask President Leng personally when he wakes up," the butler handed this hot potato over to the big boss.
Cheng Ying felt that something was very strange, but she didn’t dwell on it any longer. Right now, her main concern was Leng Yixiu’s injury.
She walked quickly into the ward, seeing the always decisive and vigorous man lying lifelessly on the hospital bed, her eyes immediately reddened. Who on earth, who on earth had hurt him?
