Shen Jianyi woke up from the pain.
A sharp pain shot through her ribs.
She let out a muffled groan. Before she even opened her eyes, her hand was tightly grasped.
"Yiyi?"
By her ear, Lu Jinsheng's voice rang out.
She opened her eyes, and Lu Jinsheng's haggard face came into view.
She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound for a long time. Her throat was extremely dry and hoarse.
Suddenly, Shen Jianyi remembered something. She struggled to sit up from the bed, but was immediately pressed back down by Lu Jinsheng.
"The wedding has been postponed. Don't worry."
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi let out a sigh of relief and lay back down on the bed.
Seeing that she was awake, Sister Gu quickly went to call the doctor.
"It's nothing too serious. She has a broken rib. Just rest well for a while."
After the doctor finished examining Shen Jianyi, he said to Lu Jinsheng.
The tension on Lu Jinsheng's face eased slightly, and he finally felt relieved.
However, on the bed, Shen Jianyi still frowned tightly.
Now she had inexplicably become a traitor in the team. According to the team's rules, this matter would probably not end well.
She couldn't drag Lu Jinsheng down.
Shen Jianyi's heart tightened again. She tried to prop up her arms and forced herself to get out of bed.
Just as Lu Jinsheng entered the room and saw her like this, his face darkened again.
"Where are you going?"
He asked in a deep voice.
Shen Jianyi put on her coat with difficulty. "I have something to deal with."
She had to find out the truth about this matter.
Enduring the pain, she put her hands into the sleeves of her clothes. Lu Jinsheng held her hand.
Looking back at him, Shen Jianyi saw a faint, hurt look in his eyes.
"Am I really that untrustworthy?"
After a long while, Lu Jinsheng squeezed out the words from his throat.
Shen Jianyi stared into his deep and sad eyes, and felt a bit of bitterness in her heart.
The two of them were at a stalemate like this until Shen Jianyi let out a soft sigh.
She gave up the idea of going out alone and sat back on the bed.
Lu Jinsheng's expression softened. He grabbed a cushion and placed it behind her so that she could lean back comfortably.
"Lu Jinsheng, haven't you sent anyone to investigate my background?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Jianyi turned to Lu Jinsheng and asked.
"I have, but there's very little I could find out."
After meeting her at the auction, he had asked He Yu to investigate her information. All he could find out was the part that Shen Jianyi was willing to let others know.
There was no trace of the rest.
Later, out of respect for her, he didn't ask anyone to investigate further.
This was his trust in Shen Jianyi.
But now that things had come to this, for her personal safety, he needed to find out about her past.
However, he was waiting for her to tell him herself.
As she had expected, Shen Jianyi curled her lips into a smile, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes. "Of course you couldn't find out anything."
When the professor was training them, he had already erased a lot of information about them from the world.
Tianji was abroad. It was perfectly normal that nothing could be found.
"So can you tell me now?"
Lu Jinsheng held her hand and looked at the tightly wrapped bandage on her chest. His face was full of pain.
No matter who had hurt her.
He would definitely make that person pay a painful price.
Seeing the obvious killing intent in Lu Jinsheng's eyes, Shen Jianyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "It's not that serious."
This kind of injury was a piece of cake for her.
It was just that the situation at that time was too sudden. She didn't even have time to react. She also didn't expect Sam to be so ruthless and use so much force. That was why he managed to hurt her.
Lu Jinsheng was too lazy to respond to her words.
He tucked the quilt in for her and sat down beside her.
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
Seeing that Lu Jinsheng was determined to find out the ins and outs of this matter, Shen Jianyi thought for a while and then told Lu Jinsheng what had happened to her after she came to Shencheng.
As for the matter of the team, she only vaguely said that the professor suspected that she had betrayed the organization, so he had someone hurt her.
Anyway, given the situation at that time, it was perfectly normal for the professor to suspect her.
The top priority was to find out the truth about this matter. They had to wait for Xu Wenji to wake up.
Lu Jinsheng poured her a glass of water. His face was unpredictable.
After saying so many words, Shen Jianyi was also a bit thirsty. She took a few sips of water and then stared at the man in front of her with her wet eyes. A hint of belated grievance welled up in her heart. "Lu Jinsheng, this matter has nothing to do with me."
She had never been a person who would betray the organization and her partners for personal gain.
"I believe you."
Lu Jinsheng said firmly.
Hearing this, the glass in Shen Jianyi's hand trembled slightly, and a few drops of water splashed out.
Lu Jinsheng believed in her, but her partners, who she had been getting along with day and night for so many years, had tried to kill her because of a few words from a traitor.
Was she sad?
It would be a lie to say she wasn't.
Shen Jianyi closed her eyes and held back the soreness in her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, they were still clear.
Just as she was about to say something, Sister Gu's voice sounded outside the door. "Young Master, Miss Xia is here."
The smile on Shen Jianyi's face gradually faded.
What was Xia Liang doing here at this time!
"Let her in."
Lu Jinsheng ordered.
"Yes."
Sister Gu quickly went to invite Xia Liang in.
As soon as she entered the room and saw Shen Jianyi's pale face on the bed, her red lips puckered, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Just as she was about to rush to the bedside, a big hand suddenly blocked her way.
"Miss Xia, just say what you have to say directly."
Lu Jinsheng's face was full of coldness, and a gloomy aura emanated from his body.
"I—Master!"
Xia Liang glared at Lu Jinsheng and then looked at Shen Jianyi pitifully.
Help! This man's eyes were so terrifying. It seemed that if she took one more step forward, he would throw her off the building.
"Let her come over."
Shen Jianyi said helplessly.
Only then did Lu Jinsheng let go of his hand, but he still didn't leave. He stood there on guard, as if if Xia Liang had any malicious intentions, he would immediately punch her.
Without any obstruction, Xia Liang rushed to Shen Jianyi's bedside. Tears streamed down her face like they were free.
"Master, I'm so glad you're okay. You scared me to death. Why didn't you let me speak up for you? This matter has nothing to do with you at all!"
Xia Liang wiped her tears pitifully and silently accused.
What had happened last night was really too terrifying.
Why had Master suddenly become a traitor? Why had Sam suddenly attacked Master? And the professor... Why didn't they believe her?
"I've already been involved. They don't know my relationship with you for the time being. If they did, you might not be able to protect yourself."
Shen Jianyi said with a weak smile.
Given the situation at that time, it was best not to involve Xia Liang. Moreover, she still had many things to accomplish with Xia Liang's help.
"Is Xu Wenji dead?"
Shen Jianyi asked.
