This was God knew how many times Shen Yuliang had fallen into a coma and then woken up again.
Every time he moved slightly, his bones creaked.
His muscles ached so badly that his head spun.
The only good thing was probably that the swelling on his mouth had gone down.
"Someone..."
His weak call was no louder than a breath, unnoticed by anyone.
His throat was so dry that it felt like he was in the desert.
He was completely alone.
Creak. The door was pushed open.
It was a strange doctor Shen Yuliang had never seen before.
With a cold face, the doctor was drawing liquid from a glass bottle with a syringe.
"What are you doing?"
If he hadn't spoken, the doctor wouldn't have noticed he was awake.
"Yo? You're awake. It'll be easier to deal with you then."
Holding the syringe, the doctor was as creepy as the Grim Reaper with a scythe, especially with the unknown liquid in it. It might just take someone's life!
Thinking of this, Shen Yuliang was terrified.
He hadn't even lived his whole life yet. He couldn't die an unknown death at the hands of such a person! He still had great ambitions to fulfill!
"Don't come near me! Do you hear me!"
The doctor sneered. "The once mighty President Shen would be so afraid one day? It's really a turn of events. Heaven spares no one."
"Don't worry. This syringe only contains anti - inflammatory medicine. It won't kill you."
Shen Yuliang clearly didn't believe it and struggled weakly.
"If you keep moving around, I can't guarantee that I won't hit an artery." The doctor stared at him coldly, losing his smile.
It was a matter of life and death. Even if he was stupid, he wouldn't joke about his own life.
Naturally, he held his breath and obediently did as he was told.
"The eldest young master has given instructions. If you can honestly do what you're supposed to do, he will still generously take you in."
The doctor half - squinted his eyes and looked down at Shen Yuliang.
"If you still have any rebellious thoughts and do those sneaky things behind our backs, then don't blame me for taking matters into my own hands."
He nodded frantically in fear.
As long as the green mountains remain, there will always be firewood!
"Your attitude is good. I hope you can always maintain this state. I'll come to check on you on time every day. If nothing unexpected happens, you'll be able to be discharged from the hospital smoothly in a week."
Only after the doctor left did Shen Yuliang finally let out a sigh of relief.
He regretted it so much that he could almost chew his own intestines.
He had thought he could use Bo Jingming's hand to make Bo Siming submit.
Who would have thought that not only did he fail to gain anything, but he also suffered a loss!
If he acted on his own again and exposed the fact that Bo Siming had misappropriated the land back then and deliberately shifted the blame to the directors of the Bo Corporation, he would not only have no chance of turning things around in his life, but his life would also surely be in danger!
For now, he could only be extremely cautious and mustn't stir up any trouble.
Qian Li heard their conversation and quietly left.
He returned to Bo Yanhai's ward and gently knocked on the door.
Hearing the sound, Bo Jingyu immediately got up and came out.
"What's going on?"
"Second Master, I just went to Shen Yuliang's ward to check. I roughly heard some strange things. There's no doubt that the eldest young master has already taken control of the Shen family's movements."
In the end, whether the Shen family was doing well or not had nothing to do with Bo Jingyu. He had even expected such a result.
But what he cared about now was -
Shen Ximan's actions.
Since she had returned this time, she would surely get rid of the Shen family first.
Bo Siming was their backer at this time, and it was very likely that the Bo Corporation would be affected, and he would also be somewhat affected.
Thinking of this, Bo Jingyu sneered in his heart.
How could he be only somewhat affected?
He would definitely be affected.
After Shen Ximan got rid of the Shen family, the next target would probably be him, right?
He was already calm about this inevitable outcome.
"Second Master?" Qian Li looked at him in confusion.
Bo Jingyu pulled himself back to reality. "Don't act for now. Keep sending people to observe. If there are any strange movements from the Shen family, report immediately."
"Okay!"
After giving the instructions, he rushed to the Li family.
"How's President Li?"
Li Xiaoru led him to the side hall and shook her head with red - swollen eyes.
"He's still not sober. The family doctor just gave him a sedative."
As she spoke, her tears welled up again.
"I'm sorry, Jingyu. It's all my fault. I couldn't stop my father."
"It's not your fault."
Bo Jingyu's face was gloomy, and he silently clenched his fists.
"The Su Corporation is easy to deal with. Don't worry."
She looked up at him with tear - filled eyes. "What about A Hairui?
"The task that President Wen personally assigned to me has now turned into a mess."
"Don't worry," he had already made a plan. "I'll talk to her."
"But..."
"Come on, stop being so entangled. She'll still give me this much face." When he said this, Bo Jingyu wasn't completely sure, but he had to say it to comfort her.
Li Xiaoru was both grateful and ashamed. She stepped forward and threw herself into his arms to seek warmth. "Thank you... thank you."
He let her cry, but other than whispering words of comfort, his body didn't show any intention of responding. He didn't know why.
Clearly, he was her fiancé and she was his fiancée.
But he didn't want to do such intimate things at all.
Even pretending for the occasion seemed like a luxury.
After a while, Li Xiaoru's trembling shoulders finally calmed down.
She took the hot towel handed by the maid and applied it to her eyes.
"If Li Rui hits you again in the future, tell me."
She stared blankly at his expressionless face. Suddenly, for a moment, her trust in this man increased significantly.
Words like reliable and responsible surrounded him.
It made Li Xiaoru feel extremely at ease and lucky at this moment.
"My father didn't hit me. Don't misunderstand."
Bo Jingyu looked at her stubbornness helplessly. "I'm not blind."
"Your face is so swollen and you're still protecting him?"
She was stunned for a moment and immediately covered her face and lowered her head.
She was afraid that he would see her embarrassing state.
"I've asked Ruo Chi to wait outside. If Li Rui is emotionally unstable and needs help, you can call him at any time."
Li Xiaoru frowned worriedly. "What about you?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"But..."
Bo Jingyu was firm. "You should also go to bed early."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the Li family.
She didn't know if it was because a woman's sixth sense was too strong or if she was just torturing herself in her heart, but she felt that his care was sometimes far away and sometimes close.
It was as if there was a wall between them, and she couldn't figure out his thoughts.
In fact, Li Xiaoru understood better than anyone else.
There was still Shen Ximan in Bo Jingyu's heart.
She still couldn't understand why he liked that woman so much and why he had remained a bachelor for her.
If she had the chance, she really wanted to meet that woman.
Thinking of this, Li Xiaoru smiled self - deprecatingly.
She was really being willful, competing with a dead person.
