Shen Heyu was safe, but Lu Yi was knocked flying by the car that sped away without a license plate after the incident.
Actually, the car had braked just before hitting Lu Yi. Although he was knocked flying, he did not sustain any serious injuries, just some minor scrapes.
In front of Shen Heyu, Lu Yi had staged a painful act.
Seeing Lu Yi knocked flying while trying to save her, Shen Heyu ran over in a panic, her pupils dilating in fear when she saw blood flowing from his forehead.
"Lu Yi, you’ll definitely be fine. I’m taking you to the hospital now." Shen Heyu immediately took out her phone and called, getting him sent to the hospital.
Lu Yi and Pei Yansi were staying in the same hospital, even on the same floor.
When the doctor told Shen Heyu that Lu Yi hadn’t suffered any serious injuries, just some scrapes, and just needed a few days of good rest to fully recover, Shen Heyu’s worried heart finally settled.
Seeing Lu Yi trying to sit up in the hospital bed, she quickly pressed down on his shoulders.
"Though the doctor said you’re not seriously injured, you were just hit by a car. Lie down for now." Lu Yi was hit by a car right in front of Shen Heyu’s eyes to save her, making her feel indebted to him.
"The doctors said I’m fine, so don’t worry too much about me. Besides, weren’t we supposed to go find Pei Yansi today and clear things up in front of him? I’m fine, we can go now."
Lu Yi, restless even while lying down, still tried to get up. Shen Heyu helplessly pressed down firmly on his shoulders to keep him from getting up.
"Stop making trouble. Now that you and Pei Yansi are in the same hospital, even on the same floor, just rest here. I’ll go and clear things up with him."
Shen Heyu didn’t want Lu Yi hurting himself by running around.
"But Pei Yansi has slandered me. He can accuse me of anything, but he absolutely can’t joke about your life. I must confront him face to face."
In this matter, Lu Yi was very persistent, which touched Shen Heyu’s heart once again. She had never believed Lu Yi capable of such things, and now she almost fully trusted him.
"Just stay here and rest. I’ll go talk to Pei Yansi and clear things up. I believe you wouldn’t do such a thing."
"I want to come with you. What if I’m not by your side and Pei Yansi harms you? He’s a devil, capable of anything. I’m worried he might hurt or threaten you if you face him alone."
Lu Yi, concerned, held Shen Heyu’s hand, and he noticed that this time she did not pull away as she had done before when he had barely touched her hair.
Shen Heyu took a deep breath, pulled her hand free, tugged the covers, and tucked him in.
"Don’t worry, he wouldn’t dare act rashly in front of me. Plus, his room is right next door. I’ll be quick, and if there’s really any danger, I’ll definitely call you."
"The doctor said that although you’re not seriously injured, just to be safe you still need to rest and be checked thoroughly to make sure nothing was missed."
"Listen to me, just lie down here and don’t run around, otherwise I’ll worry," Pei Yan said, gently patting the blanket over Lu Yi. However, Lu Yi’s eyes still clung to Shen Heyu with reluctance.
"I really don’t trust you. If this was done by Pei Yansi, and he’s cruel enough to go this far, how could I let you go to him? That would be like sending a lamb to the tiger’s mouth."
Shen Heyu had told Lu Yi so many times, but Lu Yi was still persistent, forcing Shen Heyu to adopt a stern tone.
"Just listen to me, stay here and don’t run around. I’ll be back soon. If I return and find you’re not here, you’re in big trouble."
After giving him a firm command, Shen Heyu got up and left the ward.
Shen Heyu went to the next ward where Pei Yansi was lying, and when she entered the room, her face was incredibly cold.
"Shen Heyu?" Feeling the unusual aura from Shen Heyu, Pei Yansi tentatively called out her name.
"Didn’t you say that the last kidnapping was done by Lu Yi? I need you to provide solid evidence now. If you can’t, I will suspect it’s a plot you crafted."
Today, Lu Yi was hit by a car while trying to save Shen Heyu—a clear fact before their eyes. How could Shen Heyu believe that Lu Yi would set such a trap, risking her life?
From the moment Shen Heyu stepped into the ward, Pei Yansi had guessed her purpose, but hearing her actually voice her thoughts still felt like a needle pricking his heart.
"Yesterday, you told me you didn’t believe Lu Yi did it, so I had Zhao Jin investigate it again. He sent back his findings early this morning."
Pei Yansi was reluctant to bring up this subject, but since Shen Heyu had come to him to clear things up, he couldn’t let her leave empty-handed.
"Alright then, did you find any new developments? I hope you’re not going to change your story today."
With Zhao Jin not around, Pei Yansi had to relay the information to Shen Heyu himself, and before he spoke, he had a bad feeling.
"Zhao Jin said it has nothing to do with him, someone interfered and misled him during his investigation. He informed me the moment he found out, fearing it might endanger you, so I warned you."
Hearing what Pei Yansi said, Shen Heyu’s lips curled into a cold smile, and she sarcastically started clapping, with Pei Yansi frowning at her mocking demeanor.
"What do you mean by this?"
"I’m applauding President Pei. Doesn’t President Pei understand what I mean?"
"I know getting two different answers might make you lose trust in me, but I’ve been completely honest with you, there’s a saboteur at play."
"I’ve said it wasn’t Lu Yi who did it, and since I’ve got the answer I came for today, you better rest well, President Pei. I’m leaving."
Shen Heyu turned to leave, but Pei Yansi quickly strode forward, grabbing her hand.
