Wen Yanqing ignored her growl and left the ward.

Zhou Fucheng came in and stood silently in front of the hospital bed. He looked at his family and thought of what he had overheard while standing outside. His heart chilled.

“I didn’t expect you to become like this,” Zhou Fucheng said.

“Brother!” Zhou Manbai shouted anxiously.

“Why don’t you turn yourself in? You can save the Zhou family… Or is family just a tool for you to use?” Zhou Fucheng spoke softly, disappointment in his tone.

“Brother, you can’t blame me. It’s Wen Yanqing’s fault! He did this to our Zhou family!” Zhou Manbai cried.

“No. It’s no one’s fault but our own.” Zhou Fucheng sighed. “I’ve been in police custody these few days, all because I couldn’t put a lid on my desires. It’s as they say: only rotten eggs attract flies. Zhou Manbai, you’d better take care of yourself.”

“Brother, don’t go.” Zhou Manbai tumbled out of bed and tried to stop him. She was in such a hurry that she ripped the needle off the back of her hand, chasing him in her bedraggled state.

She was stopped at the door. The police stopped her. “You can’t leave.”

Zhou Manbai watched as Zhou Fucheng walked away.

Wen Yanqing was downstairs and gave Yi Qian a call.

“There’s no need to worry about Director Qiao’s issue anymore. Have someone pick her up.

“Ah…” Yi Qian felt it was sudden but did not question his assigned task. “Okay, I’ll have someone do as you’ve instructed.”

Wen Yanqing hung up the phone and looked up at the sky.

Fluffy, white clouds basked in the sun’s dazzling rays.

It was sunny and peaceful.

The light shone in his eyes, causing him to squint. It highlighted his curly hair, imbuing it with a lustrous glow.

He wanted to return to Lin Gantang’s side.

Mr. Lin opened the door to the VIP ward and caught Lin Gantang standing on her feet in the middle of the room.

“Why are you out of bed? Where do you think you’re going?” Mr. Lin glared at her.

Lin Gantang rocked back and forth nervously.”… I was going to the toilet?”

Mr. Lin entered the room and sat down. He spared Wen Yanqing, who had entered behind him, a glance and continued, “I’ve investigated Zhou Manbai’s situation. She won’t escape again. You’re quite ruthless, I must say. When did you learn such tactics?”

“It’s not something you learn for the fun of it. Haven’t you always said our family never loses fights?” Lin Gantang hid behind Wen Yanqing as soon as she saw him.

It was true that they never lost. It was a headshot. Mr. Lin was probably afraid that Zhou Manbai would seek retribution if she did not nip the problem in the bud; he was not concerned she would become a vicious, evil woman.

“You should learn self-defense before stirring up trouble, or you’ll injure yourself.” Mr. Lin scolded, though he was obviously more concerned than angry.

“Alright, alright!” Lin Gantang was relieved. She stepped out of Wen Yanqing’s shadow, facing her father properly.

“I shan’t disturb you,” Mr. Lin got up and said, “Tongtong wanted to visit you. I told her to stay home; Auntie Ke will care for her. You’ll be discharged when the doctors say you’re ready.”

“Okay, okay.”

“Where do you want to stay after you’re discharged? Perhaps returning home for a few days to rest and recover would be better?” Mr. Lin ventured.

Wen Yanqing’s fists clenched unconsciously. Had he not taken good care of her? Was that why Mr. Lin wanted his daughter to return home with him?

Lin Gantang noticed Wen Yanqing’s expression dim. If she hadn’t been paying attention, she might have missed it.

She suddenly remembered Ye Qiuqiu’s words. Wen Yanqing was more sensitive than his demeanor suggested and could easily be influenced negatively.

She took his hand and squeezed it comfortingly. “I’ll stay at Yanqing’s place. My injury isn’t so bad that it’ll affect my daily life. Still, it’d be better to stay with him.”

Mr. Lin nodded. “If that’s your decision, I shall abide by it. If you need help, I’ll send a few personnel to assist you.”

“It’s fine. Aunt Zhong is very reliable.”

She smiled at Wen Yanqing. Wen Yanqing’s eyes turned into crescents, and he grinned..
