Chapter 425 - She Must Be Found Out

Chapter 425 She Must Be Found OutHowever, just at this moment, her phone rang suddenly. She took it out in haste and found that the call was from Zhou Yan. She received the call and heard a familiar voice, “Where are you now?”

“I’m in the hospital.” She turned around to look at Zeng Mina and then walked out of the ward.

“What?” He was stunned for a while and said, “You are visiting someone or you’re sick?”

Zhou Yan asked her perhaps because he heard that her voice was a little hoarse.

“I’m here because there’s something wrong with my throat. By the way, I want to visit someone.” Xia Yu looked back at Zeng Mina and turned around, leaving the ward.

“Hmm, you wait for me in the plaza nearby. I’ll arrive in half an hour!” He said, “I’ve got something important to tell you.”

“Plaza? OK.” Xia Yu agreed and then hung up.

When Xia Yu was just about to close the door of Zeng Mina’s ward, the nurse happened to come over to check the patient. Seeing Xia Yu just coming out of the ward, she nodded to greet her.

“Miss, is there any possibility for Miss Zeng to wake up?” Xia Yu looked back at Zeng Mina, who was lying in the bed quietly without moving, and felt that her heart was scratched by something.

“Not much. That’s why her family wants to bring her home.” The nurse was Zeng Mina’s big fan. Before she had the car accident, there were positive news reports about her outside. However, after she was badly injured, scandals and railings all came to her. People’s feelings were changeable!

Especially, there were news reports outside about her step-mother, Zhou Jiamin, who never came to see her again after she plotted to quarrel with Shen Family’s First Madame at the beginning and let some journalists shoot the scene.

Apparently, they had made good preparations. On one hand, they incited Shen Yan to stop Shen Yan from marrying Zeng Mina, and on the other hand, they began planning to bring Zeng Mina home in order to keep Shen Mo from seeing her and to sabotage their marriage.

How miserable she was! Even though she was in such a situation, she was still taken advantage of others. Xia Yu rushed out of the hospital to the riverbank near the plaza. She caught the freezing cold iron rails and shouted aloud, “Ah…”

Her air sacs were immediately filled with the cold air above the river. A cold wind swept over, which made her shiver several times.

People who happened to walk past her occasionally cast a strange look at her and then continued to walk.

Perhaps her strange behavior scared those people. She began sneezing after taking in some cold air above the river suddenly. She tied her scarf at once. Then she walked quickly to the stairs of the riverbank and stepped down.

After a while, Zhou Yan arrived there. They found a relatively quiet place, and then Zhou Yan said, “Last time, you mentioned Aunt Jiang when you met me. So, I went to visit her and checked her medical history through my social relations. I found that someone changed her medicine. I guessed that someone didn’t want her to recover.”

Xia Yu was frightened. After Aunt Jiang had the accident, none of her family took care of her. At present, only Second Madame gave her some help. So, what Zhou Yan meant was that… Xia Yu’s expression looked unnatural. “Zhou Yan, Second Madame has no reason to do so.”

Zhou Yan nodded and said, “Indeed, Second Madame has no reason to do so. What about others? What if Aunt Jiang witnessed something which was bad for some people that day? So, he or she doesn’t want her to recover.”

Xia Yu couldn’t deny this possibility. Aunt Jiang was only a maid, who was of no importance, except that she witnessed that incident. However, that incident was only related to him. Xia Yu knew who Zhou Yan suspected. She involuntarily shivered with cold again and felt uncomfortable all over her body when thinking of Zeng Mina lying in the ward.

“But the lunatic bastard is determined to marry Zeng Mina. Xia Yu, how can he be so callous?” Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and said, “We must stop their marriage.”

“Can we?” Xia Yu still had some trust in Zhou Yan at this moment. She didn’t want them to get married, but she was not Zeng Mina’s friend.

“What about Young Master Yan? He possibly has a plan.” Zhou Yan was sure that Xia Yu had no plan, but there was still a glimpse of hope. He said with anxiety, “Xia Yu, you are the only one who can persuade Young Master Yan. You make a decision right now.”

Xia Yu shook her head and said, “It’s hard for an outsider to imagine the complexity of Shen Family. If Shen Mo goes his own way, even Old Madame can’t stop him, let alone Shen Yan. I can only try my best to help, but you don’t be too optimistic. I have no confidence, indeed.”

Zhou Yan was aware that Xia Yu would try her best, so he didn’t put much pressure on her. “Man proposes, and God disposes. We just want to stop someone from committing crimes again.”

Xia Yu knew what he meant, but Shen Mo was not the only one who wanted to violate the law. “I went to visit Zeng Mina just now. The nurse told me that she would be brought home by Zhou Jiamin.”

Being brought home by Zhou Jiamin was possibly not good for her. Xia Yu always had a feeling that Zeng Mina’s injury was related to Zhou Jiamin and Li Tianci, and the two people were almost as callous as Shen Mo.

“Being brought home is better than being taken away by Shen Mo.” In Zhou Yan’s heart, Shen Mo was the worst one.

Lack of evidence, Xia Yu couldn’t tell everything to Zhou Yan, so she said implicitly, “The key is that they can endure the pressure from Shen Mo.”

Her words made Zhou Yan plunged in silence for a long while. They sat in the plaza for a while when Xia Yu got a call from Shen Yan. She took out her phone and answered it.

“Where are you?” Shen Yan’s voice rang through. He also found that Xia Yu’s throat was hoarse. He had wanted to accompany her to see the doctor, but he was stopped by some business in the morning. So, he called her to convey his concern now.

“Near the hospital.” Xia Yu said.

“I’ll come over and pick you up.” Shen Yan worried about her. He knew that she was afraid of seeing a doctor, but this time, she took the initiative to come over, which meant that she thought her throat problem was serious.

Considering that Shen Yan was coming over, Zhou Yan stood up, making an excuse, and said with a smile, “I’m going to visit a friend.”

Shen Yan was so busy. In fact, he didn’t need to come over to pick her up particularly. After getting into Shen Yan’s car, Xia Yu complained and said, “I told you that I was fine. You shouldn’t have come over to pick me up.”

“Now, you’re fine.” Shen Yan looked back at her with a smile.

He reached out and crossed her neck with his arm. Then he kissed her gently on the cheek. She closed her eyes, feeling that his soft kiss fell from her brows to her eyes, and then from her cheeks to her lips.

This kiss was as soft as a feather, stroking her face and her facial features, which made her heart tremble with thrill spontaneously.

She did not take the initiative and was not eager to further. She didn’t want to disturb this happy moment. Perhaps, sometimes they didn’t need to express their love in an impulsive way. The tranquility at this moment also demonstrated their deep love.

He held her head in his hands and gently kissed every skin of her face with his soft lips, without any ardent move.

This moment lasted a long time. Finally, he gently released her, but his black eyes stared at her attentively.

She gently smiled and kissed his lips naughtily at last. But her kiss was quick and short. “Now are we heading for our home?”

“Let’s eat something first.” Shen Yan looked at the time and said.

Xia Yu remembered that she didn’t ask Aunt Ma to prepare the food when she left in the morning. Since she was not in the mood to cook today, she didn’t object to Shen Yan’s suggestion. “Let’s have a hotpot.”

He laughed quietly and then started the car.

After the car left, two young men in strange clothing showed up from a corner in the southeast of the place where the car was parked. They looked in the direction of the car and took out a phone to call Li Tianci, reporting the dialogue between Xia Yu and Zhou Yan just now to him.

After receiving the call, Li Tianci complacently kissed Zhou Jiamin on the cheek. “It seems that the ‘friend effect’ is useful. Xia Yu promised to persuade Shen Yan to stop Shen Mo from doing something crazy.”

“But I’m also worried because she said there was not much hope.” Zhou Jiamin frowned deeply.

“If the bastard, Shen Mo, is easy to handle, we won’t be so distressed. If Shen Yan can help to stop Shen Mo at the side, we then will have the chance to get rid of Mrs. Zeng, the bitch . As long as she’s dead, we can end Zeng Mina’s life, too. In this way, all of her property will be inherited by you.” Li Tianci said callously. What they needed to do now was to delay Shen Mo.

When they settled everything, Shen Mo could do nothing to them even though he got to know that all the members of Zeng Family were killed by them. So what? They also got some evidence of Shen Mo. Would Shen Mo dare to fall out with them? So, they would be the only winner finally.

“Where on earth has the woman gone?” Zhou Jiamin felt very distressed upon thinking of it. During that time when Zeng Mina was injured and they had a lawsuit against Shen Family for such a long time, there were news reports about Zeng Mina all day.

By rationality, the woman should have shown up a long time ago. However, she hadn’t appeared yet until now.

“Don’t worry. I will do everything to find out her.” Though Li Tianci messed up sometimes, he was quite good at looking for someone. Even Zeng Ziqiang was ended in his hands, let alone a woman like her.

“But you have to speed up. We don’t have much time.” Zhou Jiamin glared at him and said. She didn’t want his oath. She wanted Mrs. Zeng.

“I know. I know. Just give me a second to breathe even if you want to find out her.” Li Tianci walked to her and sat down on the armrest of her chair. He put one of his arms around her shoulder while the other hand reached into her clothing.

“You bastard. In such a situation, you still have a mood to do it?” Zhou Jiamin patted his hand heavily and then pushed him away.

“I need to look after you though I’m busy.” Li Tianci didn’t want to back down. He immediately held her onto the table. Then he laughed filthily and ripped Zhou Jiamin’s clothes off quickly.

“You. Shall we go to the restroom?” Considering the surrounding, Zhou Jiamin was in a panic since he wanted to have sex with her here.

“No. I like here.” Li Tianci turned a deaf ear to her and began to further his move.

Shen Yan was always particular. Driving and searching for a while in the street, he finally selected a high-level hotpot restaurant to sit down and ordered a hotpot combined with spicy and plain soup.

He put some beef into the pot and passed it to Xia Yu’s bowl when it was boiled. “Eat more. You’re too thin.” He was in a good mood today. His deep and dark eyes were full of gentleness, which made people’s hearts melt.

Xia Yu looked down to avoid his eyes and then picked up a piece of beef in the bowl, sending it into her mouth.

“Hello, are you Xia Yu?” A voice full of surprise rang through from the side. Xia Yu turned back to cast a look and found a young girl.

Xia Yu turned back to have a look. Who was this girl? Xia Yu hesitated for a while and then said, “What’s up?”

The girl covered her mouth with her hand and said, “You’re really Xia Yu? Please, wait. Someone’s looking for you. I will go and tell her.”

Who was looking for her? Xia Yu had wanted to ask, but the girl had run to the gate and said something to someone sitting in the car. The person passed a note to the girl. The girl said thank you and left.

Very soon, a woman got out of the car and walked inside. Xia Yu stared at her carefully and found it was Kang Lan.

She? Xia Yu frowned, really not knowing what she came for.

“Xia Yu, it’s really you. I heard today that you went to the hospital. I had wanted to meet you, but you left early. So, I have been driving and hanging out in the street, wanting to run across you. How lucky I am! I really run across you.”
