Suddenly being asked this question, she was at a loss for words for a moment, but quickly regained her composure.
"Because it was always Third Brother who protected me before. I'm used to calling him when something happens." She didn't say much and gave a flawless answer.
Fang Jiangyi looked at her intently. "Are you blaming me, your boyfriend, for not fulfilling my duties?"
Yan Xia couldn't even force a smile. "When is this? You still have the mood to joke."
"I'm not joking. I'm serious." His tone was very earnest as he stroked the back of her hand with the needle in it. "I will work hard. I hope that the next time you're in danger, the first person you think of will be me."
Yan Xia focused her gaze slightly. His serious attitude left her not knowing how to respond. She had once wondered if Fang Jiangyi had truly fallen for her. But when she realized that this assumption was highly likely to be true, she felt an inexplicable sense of betrayal.
"Has Father not been informed about my injury and hospitalization? He always said..."
"Don't you feel uncomfortable after being in a coma for so long and just waking up?" Fang Jiangyi asked her. "You've always been worried about whether others will be affected by this. The first thing you should consider is your own safety."
Yan Xia shook her head. "I don't feel uncomfortable anymore."
In fact, she was scared and terrified.
But because the person in front of her was Fang Jiangyi, she didn't want to show her true emotions.
So Fang Jiangyi sat on the chair and peeled an apple for her very carefully.
Seeing his considerate manner, she suddenly asked, "Mr. Fang, no matter who the mastermind behind this accident is, will you help me evade justice?"
She was just afraid that he wouldn't be able to bring himself to deal with Peng Shiyi.
Fang Jiangyi said, "I will find them out for you."
Yan Xia nodded approvingly. "I hope you can remember what you said today."
She stayed in the hospital for two days. All her indicators were normal. After getting the hospital's permission, she was finally discharged and went home.
Fang Jiangyi personally sent her back. Yan Xia didn't ask him to stay. She just said, "You've accompanied me for so many days. You must have delayed a lot of work. I won't keep you. Go and get busy."
She was wearing Fang Jiangyi's coat. There was a look of exhaustion between her eyebrows. She looked as sickly as Lin Daiyu, with a desolate and haggard look, like a flower that had withered when the west wind blew.
Fang Jiangyi said, "Sometimes I really think you're scarily calm. At a time like this, a normal girl would be scared and want her boyfriend to stay."
Yan Xia smiled and said, "If I were an ordinary normal girl, how could I have chased you?"
Finally, she saw Fang Jiangyi off. Then, surrounded by several people, she returned to the living room.
There she saw Lu Qianzhou drinking a glass of water and looking in her direction at the door.
The bag in Yan Xia's hand fell to the ground. Without thinking, she rushed directly towards Lu Qianzhou and hugged him tightly, making Lu Qianzhou take a step back. He held the glass in one hand and welcomed her with the other, pulling her into his arms.
Yan Xia buried her head in his chest. Unknowingly, her tears welled up and soaked his clothes.
She really was useless. She had been calculated against time and time again.
But she couldn't think of a way to fight back. She always had to rely on Lu Qianzhou.
She always thought she could handle things on her own. But at the moment when she was violated and someone was choking her neck and she was gradually losing consciousness, the fear clearly told her that she was nothing.
She was so scared, but she didn't dare to show this fear in front of others at all. But Lu Qianzhou was different. He was someone she trusted and could give her enough sense of security. So she could safely release her emotions.
Lu Qianzhou put down the glass of water in his hand and reached out to stroke her head as a form of comfort.
Lu Qianzhou stroked her head one by one. His voice was deep. "How long are you going to hug me?"
She got a little sentimental. "You're my boyfriend. I can hug you as long as I want."
Lu Qianzhou said, "Do you want to go upstairs and rest? I'll accompany you to sleep. No matter what you want to say or what happens in the middle, we'll talk about everything after you wake up."
Yan Xia nodded obediently.
She slept soundly in Lu Qianzhou's arms, holding tightly to his waist with both hands as if she was afraid of being abandoned by him.
Lu Qianzhou held her in his arms with one hand and sent a message to Wen Liang with one hand.
'Send a copy of that evidence to Fang Jiangyi.'
He wanted to test first whether Fang Jiangyi would protect Lu Sheng.
As for him, he naturally wouldn't let Peng Shiyi off easily, but not now. When everything was finally under control, he would make Peng Shiyi pay back tenfold for everything Cheng Yanxia had suffered.
The temperature dropped sharply overnight. The cold wind seemed to cut through the skin.
Fang Jiangyi was sitting on the sofa in his office. There were several photos and two bank transaction records on the transparent glass coffee table in front of him.
He rested one finger on his temple and stared at the photos in front of him. He had maintained this posture for half an hour.
Soon, Assistant Sun brought Peng Shiyi to the office.
Because the atmosphere in the office was extremely depressing, Assistant Sun left after bringing the person to the office and reporting, and consciously closed the office door.
Peng Shiyi was extremely uneasy. She had already noticed something was wrong in Fang Jiangyi's tone when he called.
"Brother Jiangyi..."
Fang Jiangyi looked up at her sharply.
Peng Shiyi probably realized something. She had never seen Fang Jiangyi look so fierce. She was extremely uneasy and gradually wanted to leave.
Fang Jiangyi suddenly stood up, grabbed her wrist roughly, and dragged her to the sofa. He pushed her onto the sofa and forced her to look at the photos and bank transaction records.
Of course, she recognized them and knew what they were.
"Brother Jiangyi." Peng Shiyi turned pale with fright. She had never seen Fang Jiangyi like this. "Can you let me go first? You're hurting me... Can't you talk to me nicely? Why do you have to be so rough..."
Fang Jiangyi only asked, "Are you related to the first group of people who kidnapped Lu Sheng?"
Peng Shiyi broke free from the hand he had on the back of her neck. Tears welled up in her eyes instantly. She cried, "What do you mean? Do you think it's me whenever something happens to her? I haven't bothered her or you anymore. Even if you suspect me, what right do you have to force me to admit it like this?"
Fang Jiangyi didn't say a word. Seeing that she was unmoved, he took out his phone with a livid face and played a recording.
The voice in the recording was from a financial staff member of Huihua Wood Industry.
"I really don't know anything. It was just Assistant Yang who came to me and asked me to transfer one million to this account. I don't know if it was Miss Peng's intention..."
Fang Jiangyi tugged at his neat bow tie. "You know what I hate the most. Did you do this?"
Peng Shiyi looked up at him nervously.
Fang Jiangyi said, "I told you this Yang Fan couldn't be kept. Why did you still keep him? What are you up to?"
