Qian Li was also anxious.
If Bo Yanhai could wake up, the hatred between the Second Master and Miss Shen would be easily resolved, and they wouldn't have to hurt each other like this.
"Sir, please think it over again!"
Bo Jingming was determined not to let his father stay any longer.
"I've already contacted a professor abroad. Don't try to persuade me anymore."
He glared at him. "Remember what I just told you. Don't tell anyone, neither the eldest young master nor the second young master."
Seeing that his father was determined, Qian Li couldn't dissuade him any further.
"... I understand, sir."
Bo Jingming lifted his leg and was about to leave. Bo Siming quickly slipped into an empty ward to hide. He came out slowly after the sound of footsteps faded away.
He swallowed hard, looking extremely ugly.
It wasn't hard to guess his father's reason. His purpose was to guard against him and Bo Jingyu, not wanting anyone to know about Grandpa's current situation.
But for Bo Siming now, it was definitely not good news.
He had been planning to take action in the next few days and formulate a perfect strategy.
But the situation was urgent. Even if he wanted to delay for a few more days, he couldn't.
It seemed that he had to act tonight.
Bo Siming's eyes were fierce, and his hands were clenched into fists.
He glanced around and left the hospital warily.
Shen Shiyu stood at the door of the apartment, hesitating for a long time.
Click. The door suddenly opened.
Shen Ximan, wearing casual clothes, was about to go out when she saw the person standing at the door. She was first surprised and then quickly regained her composure.
"Shiyu? Why are you standing at the door?"
"... Ruirui, I... I have something to talk to you about."
Shen Ximan originally planned to go to the hospital to give acupuncture treatment to Bo Yanhai, but unexpectedly, she ran into this situation.
"Do you have anything urgent? I'm going out to handle some business now."
Shen Shiyu waved her hands, looking like she was about to cry.
"I'll just say a few words and then leave! I won't take up much of your time."
She glanced at her watch and reluctantly agreed.
"Come in and talk."
Shen Shiyu immediately became happy. She jumped in and plopped down on the sofa, then started looking at the paintings in the corner.
"Ruirui, are you going to change the style of your home?"
Shen Ximan was pouring black tea and just gave a dull "hmm".
"My God, I've seen this painting! It's worth at least five million!"
She covered her lips in surprise, her eyes full of longing for wealth.
"But spending so much money on a painting, isn't it a bit of a luxury?"
She brought the black tea in front of Shen Shiyu and forced a smile.
"They're just decorations. It's not really a luxury."
"Hahaha, you're right! Ruirui is so capable and good-looking. Buying some decorations is just a piece of cake for you!"
Shen Ximan sat opposite her, still wearing a smile.
"What do you want to talk to me about today?"
Shen Shiyu's expression froze. To relieve the awkwardness, she took a sip of black tea.
"I'm really ashamed to say this. I was extremely reluctant to ask for this, but... You know our family's current situation, Ruirui. We're having some financial difficulties."
She immediately understood. "You want to borrow money?"
"Ahehe, Ruirui, you're so smart!"
Shen Ximan was quite speechless inside. It was really true that in a big forest, you could meet all kinds of birds. She just set a trap for her, and unexpectedly, she couldn't even hold out for a month and came to offer herself up.
"How much do you want to borrow?"
Shen Shiyu opened her mouth and almost blurted out "five hundred thousand". Fortunately, she was quick-witted and hesitated in time.
She pointed at the painting on the wall and smiled confidently.
"Just the price of that painting. I know you don't even consider this a small amount of money, Ruirui. You'll definitely lend it to me, right?"
Shen Ximan looked at her with a fake smile, her heart as cold as ice.
Asking for five million right away, she really had a big nerve.
Seeing that she didn't respond immediately, Shen Shiyu got a little anxious.
Did she ask for too much and make her unhappy?
"Ruirui, if you're not willing to lend it to me, it's okay. I can only blame myself. I have no background or family influence, and now I'm shamelessly coming to ask you for a loan. I'm really..."
Shen Shiyu immediately burst into tears. "I'm so useless. If I have to, I'll go sell my blood. At least I can get some money back."
Shen Ximan was too lazy to watch this kind of low-level act.
If it weren't for the urgent time and the fear that Qian Li would send more people to guard, she wouldn't have made a decision so early. She still wanted to see how she would act.
"Wait for me a moment."
She went to the bedroom and took out a check for five million and handed it to her.
"How could I be willing to watch you go sell your blood? You're so silly."
Shen Shiyu excitedly stood up abruptly and threw herself into her arms.
"Wuwuwu, Ruirui! You're so good to me! What good deeds did I do in my previous life to meet a best friend like you!"
Shen Ximan pushed her away uncomfortably. "It's only natural for friends to help each other. If you need anything in the future, just tell me. I'll help you as much as I can."
"Okay! If I were a man, I'd definitely marry you! You're so considerate and have such good business sense. You're just perfect for me."
There was a sneer on her lips. "But there's a bit of a troublesome thing about this check. You have to press your fingerprint when you go to the bank to exchange it for cash. After all, it's my personal savings, so there are more procedures."
Shen Shiyu was extremely excited now and didn't suspect anything.
She even couldn't imagine what kind of price she would pay in the future.
"It's not troublesome! It's not troublesome!"
She quickly stuffed the check into her small bag, as if she was afraid of losing it.
Seeing that she was in such a hurry, Shen Ximan gave her an out.
"Shall we go out together? I still have something urgent to deal with."
"I'd better not, Ruirui," Shen Shiyu smiled charmingly. "I still have to go out to buy ingredients for my parents. The nanny in our family is so irresponsible. She always buys discounted food, which is not fresh at all."
She nodded and didn't have the energy to care anymore.
The two chatted for a few words downstairs of the apartment and then went their separate ways.
After arriving at Yancheng Hospital and putting on the nurse's uniform for changing dressings, Shen Ximan pushed a cart and walked towards Bo Yanhai's ward.
It was 7 p.m. now. Shen Shiyu had wasted almost two hours of her time. From the suburbs to the city, and with the traffic jam.
It seemed that time was going against her at every turn.
According to the information reported by A Kun's surveillance, the number of bodyguards Qian Li sent during the day was only fifty. But at night, not only did the number double, but also five elite bodyguards were specially added.
For her, it was like hacking through thorns and brambles.
"Stop. What are you doing?"
The tall and big bodyguard frowned and looked down at her.
Shen Ximan replied calmly, "I'm here to change the old master's dressing."
He glanced at her name tag but still wasn't at ease.
"The dressing was always changed during the day before. Why is it at night now?"
"The old master's condition has improved, so the time for changing the dressing has naturally changed."
