Fa Cai truly loathed this man, always feeling that he was trying to extort money from him. Treating him like this now was already an act of great mercy.
"I'm only doing this because you're the younger brother of my eldest sister's husband. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as simple as just throwing you into a ditch!"
After saying this, Fa Cai looked back proudly.
He saw the two of them staring at him with surprised looks. He paused for a moment, scratched the back of his head, and then gave a silly smile. "Hehe, I'm not taking personal revenge!"
Xia Liang gave him a thumbs - up. Sure enough, Fa Cai had taken the principle of "your enemies are my enemies" to the extreme.
The two of them were thinking about how funny the situation had been just now. But Shen Jianyi always felt that something was wrong. Lu Weiran should have come here to kill her. Leaving aside who gave him the courage, how could this person just faint on the ground as soon as he came?
She felt that there must be someone silently watching her every move, which was really creepy.
"Let's leave first."
If the person following her had no ill - intent, it would be fine. But once this person also wanted to kill her, it would be another fierce battle.
Xia Liang also didn't stay any longer. The two of them drove away.
They were in front, and Lu Jinsheng was following behind.
The journey had been smooth all the way until he accidentally saw a woman hiding in an alley. He fell into deep thought again.
In the other car, Shen Jianyi also noticed something.
However, she didn't let out a scream. Instead, she was extremely calm. Without changing her expression, she said, "Someone's following us. It should be Hong Xiu. Keep driving and don't worry about anything."
Xia Liang's heart skipped a beat. Her hands gripping the steering wheel began to tremble. Why was it never - ending? She should have made Hong Xiu unconscious for a few more days. That would have saved them all this trouble.
At the same time, Shen Jianyi always stared straight ahead and rarely looked around.
In fact, she had been observing the woman's every move through the rear - view mirror. The woman was still following, so it seemed that she wanted to make a move on her today.
Maybe Hong Xiu already knew that it was the two of them who had attacked her.
"Is she still following?" Xia Liang swallowed hard.
Hearing this, Shen Jianyi glanced up and said in a cold voice, "Yes, she is."
"You've got to be kidding me!" Xia Liang was a bit helpless. She sighed. "Why is this person so persistent? Does she think I ate her takeaway and now wants to take my life?"
When hearing Xia Liang's strange train of thought, Shen Jianyi was a bit helpless. How did she come up with such words? What on earth was in this little head of hers?
While she was thinking, she accidentally saw from the rear - view mirror that Hong Xiu was directly pulled into the alley by a man. The next second, she fell to the ground.
She couldn't see the man's face, but she could clearly see his white mask. It was Lu Jinsheng! It turned out that he had always been clearing the obstacles on her way.
No wonder the journey had been so smooth. Shen Jianyi felt as if a feather had gently brushed across the softest part of her heart, making it tingle.
Shen Jianyi couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.
Xia Liang was taken aback. She turned her head in confusion, tugged at the corner of her lips, and asked, "Master, what are you laughing at?"
"Nothing. Just drive safely. Hong Xiu isn't following anymore."
Xia Liang felt it was strange, but she couldn't figure out why. How could the person just stop following out of the blue?
...
The car stopped in front of the hospital.
As soon as Shen Jianyi got out of the car, she couldn't wait to run towards the ward.
Without hesitation, she pushed open the door of the ward.
In front of her, a man was leaning against the pillow, reading a magazine in his hand. Hearing the sound of the door opening, he looked up at her.
"Yiyi, you're back." Lu Jinsheng had a normal smile on his face.
No matter how well he pretended, Shen Jianyi could still tell. She took a few steps forward and grabbed his wrist with one hand. Her eyebrows frowned slightly. "Did you go out?"
"Of course not—"
"Tell the truth!" Shen Jianyi looked serious, showing no sign of joking.
Lu Jinsheng shrugged and said indifferently, "Yes, I went out for a while."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Shen Jianyi, as if she had suffered some great grievance outside, threw herself into the man's arms and hugged him tightly.
"I knew it. The one who cleared those obstacles for me must be you."
The man's body was stiff. He straightened his body, and his raised arm carefully landed on the woman's head, gently stroking it.
He was no longer as cold as before. Even his words seemed to have a hint of warmth.
"Yiyi, I've said that I'll protect you well. Don't be afraid. I'll always be here."
"Okay!"
Shen Jianyi rarely acted like this. Maybe only in front of Lu Jinsheng could she show all her weaknesses.
He carefully pushed the woman away and placed a passionate kiss on her forehead.
Just then, the door of the ward was pushed open from the outside.
With a loud noise, Shen Jianyi's body trembled slightly. She slowly turned her head. The cold light in her eyes made the temperature in the room drop.
Lu Jinsheng got out of the bed and protected the woman behind him. When facing Lu Ziqian, his eyes were filled with complex emotions.
He didn't know whether he should hate or not. If it weren't for Lu Ziqian, maybe Lu Weiran wouldn't have done such a stupid thing.
After all, Lu Weiran was pitiful. He always wanted to avenge his father, but he listened to the words of those with ulterior motives and was used as a pawn.
Maybe he would never know until the end that the real person who pushed his father down was Lu Suowei. Thinking about it this way was really ironic.
The real culprit was still at large, while he took his revenge on innocent people.
"Jinsheng, get out! I want to talk to this woman alone."
Lu Jinsheng flatly refused. "I won't leave, and I won't give you a chance to talk to her alone."
"You!" Lu Ziqian leaned on his walking stick with both hands, and Lu Yuan was supporting him behind. "Do you really want to piss me off? Have you forgotten the doctor's advice!"
Hearing this, his eyebrows frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Shen Jianyi knew that if Lu Jinsheng didn't leave today, the old man would surely keep nagging. She was too lazy to listen to the father - son argument anymore. Anyway, she wasn't afraid of Lu Ziqian.
So, the woman gently leaned on Lu Jinsheng's back. Her voice was much weaker than usual. "Jinsheng, go out first. I can handle it myself."
Maybe sensing that something was wrong with her tone, Lu Jinsheng tightly held her hand and refused to leave no matter what.
Lu Ziqian was extremely angry at this scene.
Every time he saw Shen Jianyi's smug expression behind the man, he really felt like he was about to faint.
"You unfilial son! Get out right now!"
