It was getting late at night. Yang Sheng had specially prepared dinner for them. Qi Lei did not eat much, and Dongfang Liuyun did not have much of an appetite either. The couple stayed in the intensive care unit.
When it was getting late at night, Song Siting indeed had a high fever. The doctor was busy for a while before her condition stabilized. However, she still did not wake up.
Towards the end, Dongfang Liuyun fell asleep by the bed. Qi Lei carried her to the sofa and settled her down. He even asked the nurse to cover her with a thin blanket.
“Master Qi, the results you wanted are out. The perpetrator was the plaintiff in a case Lawyer Song accepted three months ago. After that, he lost the case and it was a property war. When Lawyer Song won the case, the plaintiff had always held a grudge against Lawyer Song. Previously, he seemed to have sent some creepy voodoo dolls and some dead cats to Lawyer Song’s office. But after that, Lawyer Song dealt with it in a low-key manner, unexpectedly it turned out to be much more this time. I think…”
Qi Lei had just carefully walked out of the ward when Yang Sheng came up to him and said this.
“However, Master Qi, I think that this matter isn’t so simple. Ah Fu said that he found out that the person who committed the act last week had met with the Lin family. I think this matter might have something to do with Lin Yuanyuan. The matter of the August event was begun to show some developments, but unfortunately… Master Qi, I think that if you want Missus to have it easier in Dongfang Group, it’s best to remove this nail, Lin Yuanyuan, otherwise…”
As Yang Sheng finished, his tone was filled with a hint of probing. When he saw that Qi Lei’s expression was calm as usual, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Lei was quiet. He stood by the window in the corridor indifferently. His hands were still in his pockets leisurely, and there was no expression on his face.
“On Wang Chun’s side, has Lin Yonghua’s matter not been settled yet?”
Qi Lei frowned and turned to look at Yang Sheng. He was obviously not satisfied with his ability.
Yang Sheng took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “Vice President Wang Chun has been busy with the partnership with the Dongfang Group for the past two days. Furthermore, Lin Yonghua has not been in City Z for the past few days, so he wants to put the matter aside for the time being. However, there is news that Lin Yonghua will be back in the next two days. When that time comes, he will definitely…”
“I don’t know when Wang Chun has gotten so inefficient, get him think of a way to arrange things perfectly for me. There’s not much time left, especially when something like this happens. It would be fine if what happened tonight had nothing to do with them, but if it has something to do with them, our situation will not be good. We can’t just let your Missus bear the pressure. Dongfang Ren and Dongfang Yi must both go down, none of them can escape.”
Qi Lei thought about it carefully before he spoke slowly.
“Yes, Master Qi! I’ll get Vice President Wang Chun to make the arrangements right away.”
“This matter must be kept secret, otherwise, it would only cause endless trouble for us. We’ll let Wang Chun command in secret and not let others discover his identity. I don’t want Tai Yu Corporation to have any connection with the casino. The Qi family is clean now.”
“I understand, Master Qi! Don’t worry, Master Qi. We’ll definitely do it to your satisfaction! Also, should we continue investigating Lawyer Song’s matter?”
Yang Sheng asked for instructions.
“Continue investigating. It’ll be best if we can get evidence. It’ll be easier for her if we can get rid of Lin Yuanyuan,” Qi Lei said plainly.
“Alright, I understand, Master Qi. I’ll do it right away!”
Yang Sheng said this and then left.
It was already late at night. After Yang Sheng left, Qi Lei stood in the corridor for a while. He even used the laptop that the bodyguard had brought over and roughly arranged the work for the next two days. When he was done and came back to his senses, it was already close to three in the morning.
He quietly put away the laptop and carefully pushed open the door to the ward to enter.
Dongfang Liuyun was still sleeping soundly on the sofa.
Qi Lei looked at Dongfang Liuyun for a while before walking towards Song Siting’s bed. He raised his hand to feel the temperature on Song Siting’s forehead. The scalding temperature had dropped and returned to normal.
He heaved a sigh of relief and slowly retracted his hand. Just as he was about to turn around and walk towards the sofa, Song Siting suddenly moved. Qi Lei was stunned and quickly stopped moving. He leaned over slightly and looked at Song Siting.
“Mother, how are you feeling?”
His concerned voice was lowered. At this moment, Song Siting slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were a little blurry and out of focus. She blinked a few times and calmed down for a long time before she saw Qi Lei’s face in a daze.
When he saw Song Siting open her eyes, Qi Lei also slowed down. “Mother, you’re awake. How do you feel?”
Song Siting opened her eyes and looked at him for a while. Then, she wanted to prop herself up, but just as she moved her arm, she felt a piercing pain coming from all over her body, she could not help but cry out in pain.
“Be careful. The doctor said that you have multiple injuries on your body, so you can’t move around carelessly.”
Qi Lei looked at her worriedly. He supported her slightly and helped her raise the pillow.
Song Siting took a deep breath and calmed down. Then, she looked at Qi Lei. “It’s alright… Qi Lei… What time is it now?”
Although Song Siting’s face was pale and haggard, she still looked quite strong. Seeing that her dazed eyes had regained some light, she must have remembered what had happened before.
“It’s already three in the morning. You should drink some water first. The doctor said that your injuries are quite serious, but your life isn’t in danger. You just need to rest for a few days.”
As Qi Lei spoke, he poured half a cup of warm water for Song Siting and handed her a warm wet towel.
Song Siting paused for a moment and nodded with some effort. She was naturally very weak. Her pale lips moved as she wanted to say something, but she did not hear any sound. Qi Lei simply helped her wipe her forehead, she also had sticky hands. She lowered her head and drank a few mouthfuls of the water Qi Lei handed her, her gaze searching the room.
Finally, she found Dongfang Liuyun, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa opposite her bed. Her dazed eyes froze for a moment…
“I’m fine… You don’t have to specially guard me like this. You should bring her home to sleep… I’m sure that you two have been tired from these past few days.”
Song Siting took a deep breath. She sounded weak, and her face was frighteningly pale. The pain in her chest made it hard for her to breathe. Her throat itched, and she coughed lightly. The pain in her chest surged, she immediately gasped for air with difficulty.
“Mother, are you okay?”
Qi Lei was shocked and quickly pressed the call button…
