Shen Ximan smiled with her eyes and eyebrows. "The recording doesn't count as substantial evidence. What I want is to see his eagerness when he wants to beat me, to kill me, but can't find me. Just thinking about it is fun."
"…Ah, really?" Xue Xiaoqi felt a bit numb on her scalp.
She increasingly thought that Shen Ximan's range of interests was a bit strange.
Maybe without experiencing a life as ups and downs as hers, it was impossible to truly understand her inner thoughts.
Buzz, the phone rang again.
Without even thinking, she hung up, which drove Bo Siming on the other end almost crazy. He was so angry that he almost threw his phone.
"How dare you hang up on me? You're asking for a beating!"
He grabbed the suit jacket hanging on the back of the sofa and rushed out.
Yancheng Hospital.
"Good morning, Young Master."
"Young Master, you come to visit the old master so early."
As soon as Bo Siming came in, all the medical staff flattered him one by one.
But he kept a straight face and didn't respond to a single word. He stormed up to the nurse's station.
"Call He Honghong out for me!"
The on - duty nurse was so frightened that her face turned pale. "You, who are you looking for?"
"He Honghong, the one who often changes the old master's dressing. Don't make me say it a second time!" His anger was obvious, and his neck was red with rage.
She was so scared that tears welled up in her eyes. "There's no such person, Young Master."
Without thinking, Bo Siming slapped her.
"How could there be no such person? I saw her yesterday!"
The nurse was slapped to the ground beside her by such a strong force. The plastic basket of prepared medicine bottles fell and shattered, stabbing her hands full of blood.
"My God!"
The head nurse heard the commotion and rushed over to inquire about the injury.
The people gathered around wanted to help, but seeing Bo Siming's furious look, they all backed off and didn't dare to cause trouble for themselves.
"Who allowed her to be taken away? Where is He Honghong? If you can't find this person for me today, don't even think about going anywhere!"
His extremely terrifying temper shocked everyone.
"Young Master, can't you see that she's injured?"
The head nurse boldly protected the fainted nurse behind her and stepped forward. Although she was so scared that her whole body was trembling uncontrollably, it was a matter of life and death. She had to step forward even if it meant facing the danger.
"Get out of my way!"
Bo Siming was about to raise his arm and slap again, but before he could act, he was forcibly stopped.
"Young Master! This is a hospital!"
Qian Li gasped and warned him.
If it weren't for the nurse who had run over for help just now, he wouldn't have known that this elegant young master who used to smile at every word would turn into such an unreasonable person.
Bo Siming's reckless and impulsive emotions were finally suppressed. The violent heaving of his chest slowly returned to calm.
"Let go."
"I can't let go unless you promise me that you won't act recklessly anymore!"
Qian Li didn't trust a single word this man said.
"Got it. I won't act recklessly. Let go!"
He looked at him for a while, then reluctantly let go.
Bo Siming pointed at the head nurse and the people who had already carried the nurse away, and sneered. "If I find that woman and discover that you've hidden her, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
With that, he flung his sleeve and left angrily.
The head nurse finally let out a sigh of relief and almost fell.
"Why has the Young Master suddenly changed like this? Who is he looking for?"
Qian Li kindly supported her and frowned.
"I just came here and don't know the whole story. I vaguely heard the Young Master looking for the nurse who often changes the old master's dressing."
This remark shocked him, and he stood there in surprise.
What did Bo Siming want with that nurse with burn scars on her face?
"Mr. Qian Li, I have to go and check on Xiao Xu's condition. I can't accompany you any longer. Please forgive me." The head nurse said a few polite words, then hurriedly told the other nurses to clean up the scene and rushed into the elevator.
Half an hour passed, and he received definite news.
This news was full of doubts, and the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
If He Honghong wasn't a hospital nurse, what did she do every time she entered the old master's ward? What kind of medicine did she change?
Qian Li didn't dare to think any further. He called Bo Jingyu on the internal line.
"It's me."
"Second Master, there's an urgent matter I need to report to you."
He looked out of the window at the busy traffic, his eyes serious and solemn.
After a brief summary, Bo Jingyu also became vigilant.
"There's another thing. I'm not sure if I should say it or not." Qian Li hesitated.
"Just say it. We must pay high attention at this critical moment."
"That nurse named He Honghong has burn scars on almost half of her face. I always feel... she's a bit similar to the former Second Miss Shen. I don't know if it's just my illusion."
Bo Jingyu's pupils dilated in shock. He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
He had caught Shen Ximan entering and leaving the old master's ward on the spot before, and he had personally warned her not to come to the hospital to visit anymore.
Unexpectedly, she had still lurked around the hospital.
Even Qian Li, who was so careful, had been deceived. One could imagine how sensitive and shrewd Shen Ximan was now.
"I see. I'll handle this matter."
After hanging up the phone, Bo Jingyu could no longer focus on his official duties. He took out the car keys from the drawer and drove his car out of the underground garage in a hurry.
A Hairui Company.
After Shen Ximan finished the meeting about the upcoming autumn dresses, she just came out of the meeting room and saw Bo Jingyu standing still at the front desk.
She gave him a cold glance and ignored him directly.
"Stop!" He trotted after her and shouted.
"I'm very busy now. If you have something other than work to say, wait for me in the reception room." Shen Ximan didn't even give him a proper look.
Her cold side - face almost frustrated Bo Jingyu.
In his whole life, no woman had ever dared to show him a cold shoulder.
"I just want to ask you a few questions. It won't take much time."
Xue Xiaoqi quickly stepped forward to block his way. "Young Master Bo, General Manager Wen is really dealing with very important work now. Please cooperate with our work and wait in the reception room first."
Watching Shen Ximan enter the office with his own eyes, he held back his anger.
"When will she probably finish?"
"We can't estimate the time. Please understand."
Only then did Bo Jingyu feel the powerlessness of being rebuffed.
In the past, he had always ordered Shen Ximan what to do, and she had almost always complied without refusal. But he had repeatedly hurt her self - esteem.
Now experiencing this kind of feeling was even more bitter than eating bitter herbs.
He endured his impatience and sighed. "Got it. You can go and get busy."
Nearly three hours passed. The warm sunlight shone through the floor - to - ceiling windows and spread on the ground, looking warm.
After finishing her work, Shen Ximan rubbed her sore neck and asked, "Is he still here?"
Xue Xiaoqi, who was standing beside her, nodded. "Young Master Bo is still waiting."
"Let him keep waiting. I'd like to see how long he can hold on."
"General Manager Wen..." Her tone carried a hint of persuasion.
