The originally quiet corridor was disturbed by the boss's voice.
Lu Jinsheng turned around instinctively and saw Xia Liang standing in front of him.
Strangely enough, Xia Liang usually contacted Shen Jianyi by phone. Why did she come to the hospital today to look for him?
"She has something to attend to and hasn't come back yet."
Hearing this, Xia Liang's heart skipped a beat. She was well aware of that matter, but it had been such a long time. Why hadn't she come back yet?
Lu Jinsheng noticed that Xia Liang's complexion was not right. His eyebrows knitted slightly, and his expression was a bit flustered. "Is something wrong with her?"
Xia Liang was about to answer, but when she saw Lu Yuan, she swallowed her words back.
He immediately understood what she meant. He said to Lu Yuan indifferently, "You go back to the ward first to take care of Dad. I'll come later."
"Okay." Lu Yuan knew she shouldn't ask too much.
After she left, Xia Liang made sure no one was eavesdropping. Then she hurriedly said, "Master went to—"
Before she could finish, her words were interrupted by a familiar female voice.
"Xia Liang, why did you come to the hospital?"
Fortunately, she came back in time. Otherwise, Xia Liang would have really told him the truth about what she had gone to do.
If Lu Jinsheng knew about this, he would definitely be angry. After all, Lu Weiran had done such a thing to hurt his father, and it was unlikely that she could protect this man.
She pretended to be oblivious at the moment. "Just now Hongxiu asked me to help her with something, so I went to take a look."
A glint flashed across Lu Jinsheng's eyes. He hooked his lips into a smile. "When did Yiyi get so close to Hongxiu?"
"She must have something that attracts me." Her answer was off - topic.
But Lu Jinsheng didn't ask further. He simply told Shen Jianyi a few words and then went straight to the ward.
And she just happened to be looking for Xia Liang. Taking advantage of no one noticing, she directly pulled Xia Liang into the emergency exit.
Xia Liang was a bit confused. After Shen Jianyi explained the whole story and what she wanted to do, she finally understood.
"I want to go with you!" She didn't hesitate at all. "I'm not at ease if you go alone."
"It's not just me. Hongxiu will go with me."
"Master!" Xia Liang tightened her grip on her arm. Her eyes were firm. "You can't completely trust Hongxiu. After all, she is the professor's person. Aren't you afraid that she will betray you?"
"She won't."
Based on Shen Jianyi's understanding of Hongxiu during this period, this girl was stubborn and admired the strong. Obviously, she was the so - called strong in Hongxiu's eyes now.
But even so, Xia Liang was still very worried. "Let me go..."
She shook her head and refused.
"Xia Liang, I have a more important thing for you!"
Hearing this, Xia Liang's black eyes sparkled. She seemed very eager. "What is it?"
"I need you to cooperate with Facai to develop an antidote for the symptoms in this case as soon as possible."
She reached out and took the case file that Shen Jianyi handed over. It was clearly written on it:
[Lu Ziqian, malignant brain tumor, no cure.]
Xia Liang was instantly stunned. She stared wide - eyed in disbelief. "Master, he tried every means to break you and General Manager Lu up. He's just getting his just deserts. Do you still want to save him?"
"Yes."
A flicker of pity flashed across Shen Jianyi's eyes, but it disappeared quickly.
Because she knew that Lu Jinsheng didn't want this old man to die. He hadn't repented to Lin Enjin, nor had he made up for her.
Xia Liang wanted to object.
But Shen Jianyi didn't give her a chance. Her expression was extremely serious. "Xia Liang, this is your master's order. Are you not going to listen?"
"I..." Xia Liang was really helpless. Since it was the task assigned by her master, she had to complete it. She had no choice but to agree. "Okay."
Seeing that Shen Jianyi was about to leave the emergency exit, she immediately grabbed her.
Shen Jianyi turned around and saw the watch in Xia Liang's hand.
"Your previous watch was destroyed. This one was newly made by Facai. You should wear it well and contact me and Facai at any time."
Looking at the little girl's aggrieved look, her heart softened uncontrollably.
Shen Jianyi reached out and ruffled Xia Liang's hair, then took the watch. "Thank you. I'll come back safely."
"Definitely!" Xia Liang's eyes trembled.
For some reason, she never worried when Shen Jianyi went on missions or did dangerous things before.
But this time, Xia Liang felt extremely uneasy. The closer they got to the truth, the more afraid she became.
She was just about to leave when she suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, I'll be back within two months. Then I'll go to the research room instead of Facai. Tell him not to worry."
Xia Liang tightly pinched the corner of her clothes and nodded obediently. "Okay..."
Then she watched Shen Jianyi leave. It wasn't until the woman's back completely disappeared that Xia Liang took a deep breath.
Since she couldn't go with Shen Jianyi, she would first complete the task assigned to her.
...
After Shen Jianyi left the emergency exit, she went straight to the ward.
At this time, Lu Ziqian was still lying on the hospital bed, while Lu Jinsheng was sitting there absent - mindedly.
"Jinsheng."
Hearing someone calling him, he came back to his senses.
The siblings turned their heads almost at the same time. Lu Yuan seemed to understand something. A gentle smile appeared on her face. "Brother, I'll take care of Dad tonight. You go back and rest first."
"Can you handle it?"
Lu Yuan nodded obediently. "Of course I can!"
"Okay."
Since Lu Yuan had said so, there was no need for him to stay any longer. He had to make the most of his time.
He left the ward. The two of them were silent all the way until they reached the entrance of the Lu family villa.
Shen Jianyi unbuckled her seat belt and wanted to go back first to discuss other things with him, but the man didn't seem to be in a hurry to get out of the car.
"Why aren't you getting out?"
Just as Shen Jianyi turned her head, suddenly, the man's breath approached. She had no defense at all and was met with the man's passionate kiss.
She couldn't say a word. The hand that wanted to resist was firmly pressed against the car window by the other party.
I don't know how long it took.
Shen Jianyi felt that her brain was almost out of oxygen. Only then did the man let her go.
Facing Lu Jinsheng's strange behavior, Shen Jianyi gasped. "You secretly took a breath!"
"Don't go, okay?"
Lu Jinsheng simply ignored her words. The sharpness in the man's dark eyes softened. He looked at her with slightly trembling eyes.
Shen Jianyi turned her head away. "You heard everything?"
"Yeah..."
Lu Jinsheng knew from the very beginning that this matter was not simple and would definitely involve many people. He couldn't get away to protect Shen Jianyi at the moment. He didn't want her to take risks at this time.
"Give me two weeks. I'll go protect you."
