Meng Chuyue regretted her words a bit after speaking them.
Actually, she didn’t need to ask Shen Ci for help.
She could have just faced the wall directly.
With her current disguise and wavy wig, the Lin family would not be suspicious.
But for some reason, every time she saw Shen Ci, she felt a bit floaty.
Could it be that she really had fallen for him?
But she didn’t want to marry him, and she usually didn’t even think about him, right?
After that fleeting doubt, she strode to a corner of the room, with her back to the door.
At that moment, Lin Youdong and a few others had already come up.
When they saw Shen Ci and... the back of Meng Chuyue, they were momentarily stunned. Zhao Sulan, acting as if she owned the place, scolded imperiously, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Ci stared coldly at her and Lin Youdong, recognizing them as Meng Chuyue’s father and stepmother. A storm surged through his heart. He narrowed his eyes and said viciously, "Arguing!"
Turns out it was just a lovers’ quarrel, nothing suspicious then.
She forced a smile and asked, "Have you seen a young girl in white top and black pants come in?"
Shen Ci took out a cigarette and started smoking, "My girl is almost gone, and you think I have the mind to care about your business?"
Zhao Sulan, feeling insulted and wanting to hit someone, was held back by Lin Youdong, "Finding the person is more important."
He ordered a bodyguard to stay at the stairway while he, Zhao Sulan, and another bodyguard continued the search.
They searched all ten floors, to no avail.
Disappointed, Zhao Sulan was walking downstairs when she passed by the room where Shen Ci and Meng Chuyue were. Her gaze sharpened, wanting to check Meng Chuyue’s face.
Shen Ci narrowed his eyes, quickly walked over to Meng Chuyue, and pulled her into his embrace. He whispered soothingly, "Can’t it be okay that I was wrong? My dear lady, I swear, from now on, I’ll ignore any female classmate asking for my help. Please forgive me today."
If she goes over to forcibly check that girl’s face, could she get beaten up?
Although she brought two bodyguards, which would prevent any ultimate loss, she would definitely suffer immediate losses.
Forget it, she had checked Meng Chuyue’s purse in the morning; there were no clothes or wigs, so this girl couldn’t be her.
She frowned and said to Lin Youdong, "Da Qiang has been guarding the door; that girl must still be in the hospital. Have someone search a few more times; I’ll go check at Meng Wanhua’s house."
Lin Youdong was puzzled, "What are you going to do at Meng Wanhua’s house?"
"To use Meng Wanhua to threaten Meng Chuyue. If she doesn’t agree to a kidney to Fangwei, I will torment Meng Wanhua..."
Meng Chuyue, hugged by Shen Ci, buried her head in his chest and breathed in his fresh scent, her face flushing red.
Sadly, before she could entertain any romantic thoughts, she heard Zhao Sulan’s words from behind.
Her gaze flickered, and she emerged from Shen Ci’s embrace, looking up at him, "Could you please make a warning call to my mom?"
Shen Ci felt an empty space in his arms and felt somewhat lost. Knowing the urgency, he nodded, "Okay, but what will you do next? They might... come back with a vengeance."
Meng Chuyue pursed her pink lips, "We’ll figure that out later... The top priority now is to get my mom to hide."
From the window of the room across, Shen Ci could see the hospital’s main entrance, clearly noticing the three Lin family bodyguards.
Those men, whenever they spotted a young woman, would scrutinize her face.
The hospital’s back door was usually locked; only the front door was accessible.
For Meng Chuyue to get out... it was going to be very difficult.
Shen Ci thought, perhaps he could entrust Meng Chuyue to Su Jinnian, when he suddenly saw a man rushing in, holding a woman. Her face was buried in his chest, completely obscured.
