Ch 27: Don’t push me to curse you; you sniped him with a sniper rifle, he used a gun to blow you up, and finally you saved him.

Guo Siming left the Lu Family members behind, chasing all the way, searching the entire building, but still couldn’t find Wen Li.

He only found a surgical gown discarded by Wen Li in a trash can.

The sky was getting dark, and fewer and fewer people were entering and leaving the hospital.

Downstairs from the Surgery Building, the White BMW was still parked there.

Wen Li sat in the car, closing her eyes to rest, but occasional sharp pains in her head accompanied by dizziness made it difficult for her to recover. Her breathing was erratic, and her forehead was covered in a fine layer of cold sweat.

Her body had not fully recovered, and she was unable to perform high-intensity work for long periods. Her complexion was very poor.

Phone calls came one after another.

Wen Li, unable to bear it any longer, answered Jiang Yingbai’s phone call.

“Still alive.”

After reporting, Wen Li hung up.

She didn’t know how long she sat in the car, until the night scene completely darkened, then Wen Li drove away from the hospital.

At the Wen Family home,

“Mr. Wen, I apologize on behalf of my daughter to your family. Children don’t understand things. You can choose compensation or an apology,” Father Tan said apologetically. “I only have this one daughter, and she’s been spoiled since childhood. Don’t even mention keeping her locked up for ten years, even one night is impossible!”

“Mr. Tan, it really wasn’t me. I didn’t even know about your daughter being taken away,” Wen Baixiang explained again.

Father Tan didn’t quite believe him: “Really not you?”

Wen Baixiang was a little puzzled. It wasn’t murder or arson. With the Tan Family’s strength, there was no reason they couldn’t get a person out.

He curiously asked: “Did you go to the police station? What did they say?”

Father Tan thought for a moment and told him: “I have a good relationship with Director Zheng. Initially, he was unwilling to say anything, but after I persistently questioned him, he told me it was orders from above, directly telling me not to waste my efforts, saying that I couldn’t get this person out.”

“Orders from above? And told you not to waste your efforts?”

While surprised, Wen Baixiang said: “Mr. Tan, I’m just a businessman, I don’t have that kind of far-reaching influence.”

Father Tan thought about it carefully, and it was indeed so.

The Tan Family and the Wen Family had similar strength. If the person behind it was Wen Baixiang, there was no reason he couldn’t negotiate at all, and Wen Baixiang wasn’t at a level where Director Zheng wouldn’t dare to easily reveal anything.

The fact that Director Zheng said he shouldn’t waste his efforts, and definitively told him he couldn’t get the person out, shows that Director Zheng knew he was completely incapable of competing with them.

In all of Beijing, few people possess that kind of strength.

Besides, they are all businessmen. Even if Wen Baixiang loved his daughter very much, there was no reason for him to be so ruthless over such a small matter, thus creating a deep grudge.

Father Tan suddenly thought: “I heard your daughter has some connections with the Song Family? Could it be the Song Family?”

Wen Baixiang lowered his voice and denied: “Mr. Tan, you’re really in a panic. What kind of background does the Song Family have? They wouldn’t do this without fear of investigation? Besides, the Song Family always acts with measure, there’s no reason for them to damage their harmony because of a matter between younger generations.”

Wen Baixiang said this, but in his heart, he also suspected that it was the Song Family’s doing.

After all, only the Song Family could stand up for Wen Li.

But even if Wen Li was incredibly talented and favored by Song Baiyan, the Song Family shouldn’t be able to do this for her.

“There must be a misunderstanding. When Xiao Li comes back, I’ll ask her. Mr. Tan, you should also think carefully about whether you’ve offended someone.”

Wen Baixiang spent a lot of effort to get rid of Father Tan.

Wen Xin, who had been eavesdropping in the upstairs corridor, angrily returned to her room to sulk: “She definitely asked Old Master Song for help!”

Lin Yun: “This little girl is really capable. She actually got the Song Family to stand up for her. Could Song Zhixian really like her?”

“Impossible!” Wen Xin’s emotions were agitated. “Why should that country bumpkin get Zhixian Brother’s affection? What does she have that makes her worthy? She can’t even dream of it!”

Lin Yun comforted her daughter, while resentfully saying: “This little girl is so difficult to deal with.”

Wen Baixiang sent Father Tan away and waited in the living room.

He waited until after ten o’clock before Wen Li returned.

Facing this unruly, prickly daughter who specifically aimed her thorns at him, Wen Baixiang felt helpless.

His child’s mother was clearly a gentle and considerate person.

Wen Baixiang tried to treat Wen Li as Wen Yan, using the tone he used with Wen Yan, saying: “You’re back so late, did you have dinner? I left some food for you.”

After being directly ignored by Wen Li, Wen Baixiang knew that even if he spoke kindly, it would be useless.

“I heard about what happened at school today. I’ve already scolded Wen Xin, and your classmate did act inappropriately.”

Knowing Wen Li was impatient, Wen Baixiang went straight to the point.

“Your classmate’s father came to see me just now, wanting to apologize to you in person and ask you to let his daughter off.”

“Was it the Song Family who stepped in for you in this matter?”

Wen Li’s head was dizzy, her steps unsteady. She didn’t listen to Wen Baixiang’s rambling, and walked directly towards the stairs.

Wen Baixiang seemed to notice something was wrong with Wen Li.

Sure enough,

When Wen Li got closer, Wen Baixiang was startled by her complexion.

“Why do you look so pale?” He got up and walked towards Wen Li, concerned: “Are you feeling unwell?”

He turned to instruct the Butler: “Go call a doctor.”

Wen Li threw him a sentence: “Don’t bother me.”

Then she went upstairs, holding onto the handrail.

Wen Baixiang was unable to ask anything more.

Wen Li rested at home for two days and gradually recovered.

Jiang Yingbai only then dared to call her.

“Do you have a grudge against the Lu Family? The night you settled in Beijing, Lu Xixiao’s subordinates were already investigating you.”

“I didn’t pay much attention at first, after all, there are at least eight to ten people wanting to investigate you every day. But this time, you saved Lu Xixiao’s life, yet you want to hide it. That’s not right. That’s Lu Xixiao, do you know how valuable his life is, how precious a favor from the Lu Family is? You risked your own life to save him, and in the end, you don’t want anything.”

“That’s not your style at all.”

“I’m kindly reminding you, this Lu Xixiao is no simple character, he’s definitely more difficult to deal with than anyone you’ve ever encountered. We should avoid confronting him if possible, but since you saved his life, any major grudge should be settled, right?”

“So… can I ask for a consultation fee?”

“If I can become friends with the Lu Family, my company’s business will be stable, and going public might even be possible! No, you saved Lu Xixiao, I can directly ask them for a publicly listed company!”

Wen Li lay in bed, her eyes unfocused: “Don’t push me to curse you.”

“Oh ho～You’re always civilized, even when cursing you don’t use foul language. You and Lu Xixiao definitely have something going on. I’ll let other people go, but Lu Xixiao, I must know. Tell me quickly, I don’t want to investigate myself.”

Wen Li was annoyed by him: “He’s the bastard who bombed me in Nanyang!”

“What?!”

“Bang——”

Jiang Yingbai was so excited that he fell off his chair, landing on the floor sprawled out.

He winced in pain, tears welling up in his eyes, and struggled back to his chair to process the news.

He said incredulously: “Damn it! You almost shot him dead, he almost blew you to death with a few bombs, and after more than four months, you risked your life to save him again?”

The more Jiang Yingbai spoke, the tighter Wen Li’s brows furrowed.

She was really getting angrier and angrier.

She had never encountered such a frustrating thing in her life.
