Chapter 269 - Can'st You Hide?

Chapter 269: Can't You Hide?

Cai Yanyan felt improper to ask more, so she went out obediently. Seeing his hasty look, Shen Yan asked: "What happened on earth?"

"Xia Yu had an accident."

"What?"

What did it mean that she had an accident?

The corner of his eyes jumped once fiercely. No wonder that he had felt ill at ease and always felt that something was going to happen.

"The hospital just called, using Xia Yu's mobile phone and saying that she was found in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs. Xia Yu called 120 by herself. But when the doctor went there, she had already fainted. The doctor found our names in her address list and failed to get through to you. So, they called me then."

"Which hospital?"

"Southern District Hospital."

"Go!"

"Young Master Yan, the meeting will begin soon." Cai Yanyan came to remind him when she saw that he was going to leave.

Damn. Why did everything come together? Shen Yan was very impatient and said: "Cancel it!"

"Ah!" This meeting had been in preparation for a long time. All of the comers were heavyweight magnates. How could it be canceled?

How could she explain to them? Cai Yanyan didn't get it at the moment, standing still in situ.

"How about that I’m calling Xiao Qiang to let him go." Now he couldn't leave really. Liu Sijie had already asked the doctor, who said that Xia Yu got multiple soft tissue injuries and the most serious foot injury had been dealt with. It was skin trauma, not threatening her life.

It was useless for them to go there at this moment. And the meeting here was indeed important, so it was better to let Shen Qiang go there first. After the meeting, they would go there.

Xia Yu felt that she was trapped in a dark room. The four walls surrounding her were just like a big net and she was the dying fish in the middle. The big net began to contract, and she gradually had a sense of suffocation. Those fearful demons and ghosts came out one by one, lunging at her while making threatening gestures.

"No, don't come over!"

Xia Yu screamed and then woke up from her dreams. She opened her eyes and overhead were bright lights. She was still gasping with her chest undulating. She stared at the ceiling blankly, and after a few minutes she finally calmed down a little, knowing that it was a dream just now, and this was the cold real world.

After returning to reality, she didn't feel better. She ached all over, especially the left foot.

Xia Yu took the cell phone beside the pillow and had a look. It was one o'clock in the morning and the long night was only half over. Her back was sweaty. She insisted on getting out of bed to get a cup of cold water to drink, and the fear in her heart then gradually disappeared. But she knew that the fear just disappeared temporarily. When the darkness came again, it would emerge from all the cold corners, entangling her and making her life restless forever.

Afterwards, she couldn't sleep anymore. The pain in her left foot was getting worse bit by bit. The nightmare faded, leaving the pain in her body. It was probably that the efficacy of the painkiller in the infusion bottle she had in the morning had gone. The night was tranquil, and she was alone. Lying in the bed, she felt that there was a blunt knife in the ankle which cut into the flesh little by little, and the pain was clear and even stratified.

She couldn't sleep well certainly. Xia Yu could only stare at the ceiling. She couldn't help thinking that it hadn't hurt so much the last time.

On that day, Yang Ke'er threw her on the mountain. She walked barefoot in the mountain for several hours and her feet were broken. The doctor also specifically reminded that the pain would be aggravated at night. That night just passed easily in her memory, not being so strong as this time. Just because someone was together with her last time, and this time she was alone?

Xia Yu thought about it and laughed. So sentimental. When did she start to care about whether there was someone around her?

"Sister, what happened?" A voice suddenly came from the room, which shocked Xia Yu.

Looking back, she saw Shen Qiang sitting in the corner. Xia Yu smiled. "Why are you here?"

"The hospital called my second brother, and he almost died from worry. But there was a meeting that he must attend, so he asked me to come over." Shen Qiang looked at Xia Yu, who was covered with wounds, feeling a bit distressed. "Why you should come there!"

She didn't intend to come there at all certainly. She came there just because she was held hostage.

Xia Yu remembered the driver's words and shook her head. "Don't mention it. I was unlucky."

"It seems that you were brought there by someone in terms of your tone. The hospital has already called the police for you. The police have been here at dusk, but you have not yet woken up that time. Probably they will come again tomorrow."

"A taxi driver drove me there, saying that I offended someone who I shouldn't offend, and the person asked him to teach me a lesson. At last, he said he had nothing against me, and he didn't want me to suffer too much. Then he returned the phone and the bag to me, letting me call the car and go back." Xia Yu recounted the situation at that time.

Offended someone? Shen Qiang's canthus also jumped. "Do you remember the look of the person?"

"I remember it, but I think he must not be a true taxi driver. And he will not stay here to wait for me to call the police." Xia Yu was basically desperate about catching the suspect.

Last time Li Tianci was the chief culprit in kidnapping her. As a result, he still swaggered through the street every day.

"Sister, you can rest assured that my second brother will not forget it. He will definitely let the person pay the price." The police couldn't manage them, but it didn't mean that no one could rule them.

"I'm fine. Just forget it." Xia Yu had thought away already.

"You don't believe my second brother?" Shen Qiang asked.

"Of course, I believe him. I just don't want him to worry about this little thing." Weren’t there enough troubles for Shen Yan? She was willing to see that he could get rid of them one by one.

"You really love him." Shen Qiang smiled and helped Xia Yu go to the bed.

The next morning, the police came. After asking for information, they made a face puzzle for the driver and then left.

Xia Yu then was also discharged from the hospital. She asked for a few days of leave with the company because her left foot was badly inflamed. The doctor said that if she didn't get enough rest at home, it was very likely that there would be sequelae. Plus, other injuries on her body and the bad state of mind, it was impossible for her to return to work.

Shen Yan came back in the afternoon. "You didn't say anything about such a big event. How dare you?"

It was the first time that Shen Yan got so mad at Xia Yu. Listening to the roars of reproach, Xia Yu sat on the sofa and smiled bitterly. Shen Qiang was such a big mouth to tell him everything. "I am fine!"

"Fine? You thought I couldn't get the news as I didn't go to the hospital? Xia Yu, are you really stupid or really daring?" Shen Yan was getting more and more fearful of that. He was so furious. The woman was always like this. Choose by herself and make up her mind silently.

"In the future, please think about the people who care about you before making a decision. Even if you don't think for yourself, at least you should take care of their feelings!"

Shen Yan was really annoyed this time, and even turned blue in the face. But Xia Yu felt warm in her heart.

She felt that she was the most tragic person in the world, being wounded all over again and again. But she also felt that she was the luckiest person in the world with someone caring of her all the time.

Hearing her light laughter, he was even more annoyed. "What are you laughing at? Seriously. What I said just now is serious!"

Xia Yu immediately stopped laughing, bowed her head and rubbed her eyes with hands.

"No, I am not laughing, just..."

"Just what?"

Xia Yu paused for a few seconds. "Thank you!"

There was a thump in Shen Yan's heart. "Thank me for what?"

"Thank you for everything from we knew each other to now, such a long time, including what you said to me just now!"

"You, I don't know what to say about you." Shen Yan shook his head and smiled resignedly.

For Xia Yu's accident this time, Shen Yan had his own opinion. Who could Xia Yu offend? Even if she offended someone, it was because of him. Shen Mo was one of them. This time he suffered great losses in silence. It might be his retaliation to take Xia Yu away.

It was also possible that those who had resigned retaliated against him out of their discontent. Of course, there were many other possibilities. In short, it must have something to do with him.

"Don't reproach me then. You see. I am injured and pitiful now." Xia Yu deliberately assumed a pitiful look.

"Well, I don't reproach you. Do you want to eat something? I will buy it for you." Shen Yan sat down beside Xia Yu and reached out to take her in his arms.

"Well, um!" Shen Qiang exclaimed deliberately. "There is still another one at home. What are you doing?"

"You really talk too much. Can't you hide?" Shen Yan hit him with an apple. Shen Qiang caught it hurriedly.

He took a bite of the apple and said with a smile. "OK, I'll hide. I won't bother you."

This nasty boy. Shen Yan smiled and looked back. He wanted to say something to Xia Yu, and then the phone rang. He took it out and went aside to pick it up.

"Hello, Young Master Yan. Do I disturb your rest?"

Shen Yan's color changed when he heard the voice on the phone. "It's OK. Have you found anything?"

The person replied after a while: "Things are starting to fall into place, but the details are not very clear. And there is a message to tell you."

"What?"

"Zhou Yan met Zhou Jiamin."

Shen Yan felt his heart tighten. He asked: "When?"

"At ten o'clock this morning."

"Is the news reliable?"

"Young Master Yan, you can rest assured that our reputation in the industry has always been very good. Our men are professional. You can count on us."

There was much verbosity over there, and Shen Yan pinched his eyebrows with irritability. "You don't have to say anything more about nonsense, just find out the purpose of their meeting as soon as possible."

"The reward..."

"According to the previous rules!"

"OK. Young Master Yan. Just relax your mind and wait for my good news."

Shen Yan didn't speak and hang up the phone directly.

"Shen Yan!" Although Xia Yu did not hear their conversation, she also guessed something out of his expression.

This time, Xia Yu kept silent because she didn't want Shen Yan to make it a big deal.

"Don't worry, nothing." Shen Yan walked to Xia Yu and sat down next to her. "I suppose that Zhou Yan told you something yesterday. He and my brother have been good friends since childhood, but also the rivals in love."

"Then, he had already known Ning Jing was your brother's girlfriend?" Xia Yu asked. If so, it meant that Zhou Yan sapped a wall of Shen Mo and he was the one who was wrong.

"Of course. We are so familiar. And after Zhou Yan went to Japan, my brother asked him to take care of Ning Jing. Alas, no one expected that it would end like this." Shen Yan sighed.

No wonder Shen Mo was so angry. His best friend actually grabbed his girlfriend. Everyone encountering it would be out of sorts. Xia Yu secretly glanced at Shen Yan and did not speak.

"Do you think that Zhou Yan is really not cool? My brother really thinks so. But no one can rule feelings, especially facing the girl like Ning Jing. It's really normal for Zhou Yan to fall in love with her after their being together morning and night." In the beginning, Shen Yan also thought that Zhou Yan was really disgusting. But after a few phone calls with Ning Jing, he gradually understood it.

"Ning Jing has passed away for so long, but Zhou Yan still can't forget her. He really loves her very much." Xia Yu did not know Ning Jing, but the girl should be a very good girl through Shen Yan's words. If she hadn't died, Xia Yu really wanted to know her. It would be great for them to share insights in culinary skills.
