Shen Xinglan had just gotten into the car and was still holding A Miao's handbag.
"What do you mean she is missing?"
After hearing what Shen II had said on the phone, he gave an order with a long face. "Find her. Make your people go out and look."
As soon as Shen I started the car, he turned his head anxiously and asked, "Boss, where could A Miao have gone?"
"Go to Zhou Xiao's house." Shen Xinglan could not breathe smoothly and evenly, even Shen I could feel it. Shen Xinglan's entire heart was fluttering now. What if something happened to A Miao? What if she was bullied?
Shen Xinglan clenched his fist and did not know how to face it.
At the same time, A Miao had already come out of Song Baohua's house. She took advantage of the disorder to bring Zhou Xiao out. She did not dare to tell Song Baohua what had happened before. She said that Zhou Xiao had drunk too much wine, and then she ran out as soon as Zhou Xiao was settled.
"Where's the taxi?" A Miao looked around.
Just when they came back, they took a taxi and Song Baohua paid the fare. Because she had no time to receive the change, she specifically told the driver to wait for her.
But evidently, the driver ran away...
"This is terrible," A Miao said with a pout, "to go back like this now!"
She touched the bruises on her forehead, took a deep breath, and wore her wig. She hesitated for a moment and then turned back and asked Song Baohua for 100 yuan.
The previous two experiences made her absolutely not dare to walk alone at night. A Miao took another taxi and saw several people in the alley just after leaving University Road.
"Sir, please stop."
She saw some men beating another man on the ground. The man wanted to resist, but he could not stand up for an unknown reason.
"Young lady, I advise you to mind your own business." The driver started the car. "I have already called the police. Let's go quickly!"
A Miao hesitated and the car drove slowly past that scene. She watched the man trying to get up again and again and being knocked down again and again. Eventually, those people seemed to have had enough fighting, as they left him behind and fled in a hurry.
"Sir, please stop, we have to save that man."
A Miao ran out of the car and found the man who had been beaten with blood on his face.
"Hey, are you okay?" She touched him cautiously and the man did not respond. A Miao turned him over and the man's wallet fell to the ground.
She picked it up and ran over to the taxi. "Sir, here's another 200 yuan for you to take him to the hospital!"
That night, many people did not sleep a wink. A Miao did not return to the Shen's villa until dawn. At almost the same time, Shen Xinglans's car drove in.
"Where have you been?"
When the two met at the door, A Miao thought that Shen Xinglan had just come back from playing with a woman. She did not know why she felt so angry.
"None of your business." She gave the man a nasty stare and turned to go upstairs.
Shen Xinglan was shaking all over right now. Seeing this woman standing in front of him safe and sound made his heart throb with emotion and made him feel like cherishing her more.
Unfortunately, all those touching emotions were destroyed by A Miao's cold eyes.
"You didn't come back all night. Where have you been?" Shen Xinglan knew that she had taken Zhou Xiao out, that she had not been taken advantage of, and that she had had a small car accident.
But he had gone all the way to Zhou Xiao's house to pick her up and did not see anyone there.
"Does it matter where I go?" A Miao's forehead was throbbing with pain. She turned and walked toward the kitchen, looking for an ice compress.
Shen Xinglan grabbed her and A Miao shook off his hand with great agitation. "Don't touch me! Go find another woman!"
"What did you say?" Shen Xinglan asked, "Why would I look for another woman?"
A Miao froze. She did not know why she just said that. She shook her head irritably and turned to go into the kitchen.
"Wait." Shen Xinglan originally wanted to shout "stop", but he thought of something and then changed his mind.
With a splitting headache, A Miao ignored him calling out behind her and continued going to the kitchen.
Shen Xinglan became angry at this and stepped forward to stop her. As a result, A Miao tripped over the steps and knocked her head on the table trying to avoid him.
"Ah!" She let out a scream and her wig fell off, revealing her bruises.
As Shen Xinglan took a look at her, his face changed. "Are you hurt?"
"Yes, what the hell do you want?" A Miao stood up and her body swayed. But before she could say anything, she immediately blacked out.
Looking at the woman in his arms, his heart began to flutter again.
"Shen I, call the family doctor." He rushed upstairs with A Miao in his arms and went straight into his room.
Shen II followed. Shen Xinglan put A Miao on his bed and then turned around with a cold expression. "Is that what you said is OK? She was hurt and you didn't tell me."
"I'm sorry, Boss." Shen II lowered his head. "Our men have seen the video at the gate of the hotel. After the car accident, Miss A Miao quickly let herself out and entered the hotel, so..."
Shen Xinglan raised his hand. "All right, get out."
"Yes."
Shen II walked toward the door and asked tentatively when closing it, "Should I call Auntie up to help Miss A Miao change her clothes?"
Seeing that Shen Xinglan had not said a word, Shen II understood and ran downstairs to call Auntie and then waited for the doctor in the living room.
"Have you been chewed out?" Shen I looked at him with an expression that said: "serves you right".
Shen II did not feel like giving him any attention, so he just stared at the door. When the doctor arrived, he quickly took him upstairs.
"Boss." He knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Shen II pushed open the door and said, "Boss, Dr. Zhao is here."
"Come and take a look at her." Shen Xinglan, who seemed to have been sitting on the bed the entire time, then stood up and walked to the other side.
Dr. Zhao was somewhat surprised when he saw A Miao. He heard that the Boss had a fiancee, which must have been this woman. He treated her wound seriously, applied some medicine to her wound, and bandaged it.
"That's it, Boss." He put the medicine on the bedside table and said, "Remember to change the bandage tomorrow night and change it every three days."
As Shen Xinglan looked at him, Dr. Zhao's heart was stirred while he began to reflect on whether he had said something wrong.
"Are you sure it's this simple?"
Finally, Shen Xinglan said, "Even taking an X-ray is not needed. Are you sure that her brain hasn't been hit?"
Dr. Zhao was silent for a moment.
"Boss... the wound looks serious, but it is actually due to congestion. There is nothing that needs to be stitched. There is no wound."
Shen Xinglan still looked at him suspiciously. "Then why did she faint and look so pale?"
He had completely forgotten how horrible the wounds were when he was training on the island as a child. It was just a minor head injury and he thought that A Miao would die.
"It must have been from too much fear and nervousness," said Dr. Zhao with certainty. "Boss, I promise you that Miss Zhao will wake up alive tomorrow."
After Shen Xinglan gave him a glance and waved his hand, Dr. Zhao hurriedly bent down and walked out.
"Boss, do you want to take a bath first?" Shen II saw that he had not even changed his clothes yet. "Dr. Zhao said that Miss A Miao will not wake up for a while."
Shen Xinglan rubbed his brows. "Go and investigate the matter that happened tonight."
"Boss suspects..."
"Bai Lu."
As the day began to dawn, A Miao woke up from her lethargy.
"You're awake."
Shen Xinglan, lying on the sofa beside her, saw her move and hurriedly got up and went over.
A Miao scowled and was about to touch her forehead when her hand was stopped by another.
"Don't move, the doctor has bandaged you up." When Shen Xinglan finished this sentence, he saw A Miao looking at him with a strange look, so he withdrew his hand unnaturally.
"I'm going to take a bath, so help yourself."
When he entered the bathroom, A Miao got up and ran to the door.
"Miss?" As soon as Shen I got upstairs, he saw her coming out and asked in surprise, "Are you all right? Where's the Boss?"
A Miao closed the door and whispered, "Is your Boss…" she pointed to her head, "is he sick?"
"What?" Shen I did not understand.
A Miao shivered and felt awful while thinking that Shen Xinglan had looked at her just now so tenderly and without saying any harsh words.
"Nothing, nothing." She waved him away. "I'm going back to my room."
"Miss..." Shen I stopped her.
"Why was I in your Boss's room last night? My clothes..."
"Auntie changed them for you. You fainted and the Boss carried you in." Shen I interrupted her. "Miss, there are some things I think you should know."
A Miao was realizing that she had only just come to think of that. She was in Shen Xinglan's room and did not even notice that her clothes had been changed. She listened to Shen I while looking at him.
"What is it?"
"Don't blame the Boss. Zhou Xiao was taken away last night, so he immediately sent Shen II out. Even if you didn't go, Shen II would have brought Zhou Xiao back."
A Miao stared at him. "Are you... are you telling the truth?"
"I don't need to lie to you, our Boss has done a lot of things secretly. You..."
"Shen I." There was a ghostly voice behind him.
A Miao took two steps back while covering her mouth, while Shen I turned his neck around stiffly. "Boss... Hehe..."
"Go to the company." Shen Xinglan did not even look at A Miao, but just went downstairs directly.
Shen I waved at A Miao and then caught up with him.
"Wait a minute." A Miao also rushed downstairs and ran in front of Shen Xinglan.
"I'll get Shen II to drive!" Shen I turned and scurried away.
Shen Xinglan, looking at A Miao with indifference on his face, was a different person than he had been in the morning.
"I'm sorry, I misunderstood you, I apologize!" A Miao bent down. "Thank you."
"Don't get me wrong." Shen Xinglan said quietly, "You still owe me something and are useful to me. I hope that you will be careful in the future and won't bother me to help you."
A Miao paused and saw the impatience in his eyes, and then she gently nodded her head.
"Yes, I know. Anyway, thank you!"
As she moved sideways to make way for Shen Xinglan, Shen Xinglan walked past her and stopped for a second, but still did not look back once before he went out of the door.
"Whew..." A Miao breathed a sigh of relief. "This is the right attitude!"
People could be so mean. When Shen Xinglan had a nasty attitude toward her, unexpectedly, she was more comfortable.
A Miao stretched herself and was about to go upstairs and take a bath when her cell phone suddenly rang. She then noticed that her handbag was on the sofa. She took out her cell phone and did not recognize the number.
"Hello?"
"... Hello."
There seemed to be some hesitation before the man opened his mouth. "Excuse me, are you the person who brought me to the hospital last night?"
