Shen Junyu touched his nose and did not look into his sister’s eyes. Shen Qinglan’s state these days really made him feel very worried. He didn’t want to see his grandfather wake up, then his sister falling ill. Shen Junyu still clearly remembered the time when his grandma had died, Shen Qinglan looked deeply shocked.
Looking at Fu Hengyi, Shen Junyu said, “What about that, Lanlan, I have something to do later, so I’ll go out for a while, and I’ll leave this place to you and Hengyi.”
Shen Qinglan walked straight to Grandpa Shen without even looking at him. Next to the old man, looking at his still closed eyes, she sat down and held the old man’s hand.
Fu Hengyi stood behind her, holding her shoulders, “Don’t worry, grandpa will be fine.”
“Fu Hengyi, do you think if I had been more attentive that day, grandpa wouldn’t be like this.” Shen Qinglan whispered. She said that if she had not walked out of the ward that day, Li Xitong would never have had this chance.
“Qinglan, this is not your fault.” Fu Hengyi said softly.
Shen Qinglan remained silent.
In the evening, because of Fu Hengyi’s insistence, Shen Qinglan followed Fu Hengyi home to rest, and left Mr. Shen to Shen Junyu and Shen Qian.
Chu Yunrong was still abroad and had not returned, and her family did not tell her what had happened here.
Because Mr. Fu didn’t know the news about Mr. Shen’s illness, Fu Hengyi did not return to the compound, but took Shen Qinglan back to their home.
“Qinglan, have a good sleep first. Maybe grandpa will wake up tomorrow.” Fu Hengyi held Shen Qinglan in his arms and said softly. Shen Qinglan nestled in his familiar arms and gradually closed her eyes.
Looking at the sleeping Shen Qinglan, Fu Hengyi touched her thin face distressedly, covered her with the quilt, then got up and quietly went to the study.
Early the next morning, when Shen Qinglan got up, Fu Hengyi was no longer there. She thought he had returned to the army, so Shen Qinglan didn’t take it to heart and went to the hospital after breakfast.
“Thank you Dr. Mu, my grandpa, I will leave him to you.” As soon as she walked to the door of the ward, Shen Qinglan heard Shen Junyu’s grateful voice. When she walked in, she found that there were a few strangers in the ward, and Fu Hengyi was also there.
Fu Hengyi did not say hello to her, but sent the strangers out first.
“Brother, who were those people?” Shen Qinglan asked.
Shen Junyu had a faint smile on his face, “That’s the famous brain expert Mu Xi, who came here to treat grandfather today. I’ve invited him several times before, but unfortunately, he happened to be doing academic exchanges abroad. He just returned home today, and Hengyi went to pick him up.”
Shen Qinglan was slightly startled, Fu Hengyi went to pick him up?
Fu Hengyi came back from seeing people off and saw Shen Qinglan in a daze. He smiled slightly and said, “Have you had breakfast?”
Shen Qinglan came back to her senses, looked at Fu Hengyi and nodded, “I have already eaten. Did you invite Dr. Mu back?” How could there be such a coincidence? As soon as he came back, Dr. Mu returned to China with him.
Fu Hengyi smiled slightly and did not deny that he contacted Dr. Mu after receiving a call from Shen Junyu yesterday. Dr. Mu once owed him a favour. Now that he had spoken this time, Dr. Mu had to come back no matter what.
“Doctor Mu has already said that grandpa’s situation is not serious and he will wake up in two days. Can you be rest assured now?” Fu Hengyi said.
“Thank you, Fu Hengyi.”
Fu Hengyi stretched out his hand and knocked on Shen Qinglan’s forehead with a very light force, “Telling me thank you, eh?”
Shen Qinglan curled her lips, “Well, it’s really not necessary.”
Fu Hengyi said that this afternoon he would be returning to the army, he had already squeezed out a day to be able to come back.
The next night, Mr. Shen really woke up. Although he couldn’t speak yet, he at least opened his eyes. Shen Qinglan held the old man’s hand and looked at him without speaking.
Seeing Shen Qinglan like this, Mr. Shen used his hands to comfort his granddaughter.
Shen Rang knew that the old man was awake and hurried over, but did not go in. He stood at the door of the ward and looked inside from time to time.
“Second uncle, grandpa just woke up and can’t even speak now. You should go back first.” Shen Junyu said.
Shen Rang waved his hand, “You don’t have to worry about us, I’m just standing here and won’t go in.”
Seeing what he said, Shen Junyu stopped forcing and turned back to the ward.
Jin Enxi would give Li Xitong a bowl of porridge every day to prevent her from starving to death.
“You have tied me up for so many days. What do you want to do?” Li Xitong asked. This was already the fifth day since she was kidnapped. The rope on Li Xitong had been untied. She had tried to escape, but like Jin Enxi said that she couldn’t open the door at all. She wanted to shout for help outside, but no one answered her even though her voice had turned hoarse.
Except during meal time every day, she couldn’t see anyone else at all. If this continued, she would really go crazy.
Jin Enxi put the porridge down, smiled and said nothing, turned around and was about to leave. Li Xitong grabbed her. After Jin Enxi looked over, she hurriedly let go of her hand. When she was let go two days ago, she once attacked Jin Enxi, but before she could hit her, she was beaten by Jin Enxi.
“Well, what do you think about my suggestion that day? I can help you get Shen Qinglan out. Kidnapping her is definitely more valuable than kidnapping me.” Li Xitong still refused to give up.
Jin Enxi smiled and was very kind, “You should just drink your porridge obediently.”
“Wait, if you want money, I can give it to you. Really, five million, and you won’t miss a penny. As long as you let me go, and I can even help you arrange an appointment with Shen Qinglan, so that you can make a fortune again. This deal is very cost-effective, isn’t it?”
Jin Enxi stopped and shrugged, “Your suggestion is indeed good, but the Shen family, what kind of family is it? And we have investigated it. Shen Qinglan’s husband is the eldest grandson of the Fu family. How can we have the courage to provoke the Fu family and the Shen family. So you should stay here obediently. Oh, yes, we called your family yesterday and asked for one million. Do you know what they said?”
“What?” Li Xitong asked subconsciously.
“A man who claims to be your father said that they have no money and let us do whatever we want to you. It doesn’t matter even if we break up the vote.” Jin Enxi said, watching Li Xitong’s successful change of face with a smile.
Li Xitong tugged at the corner of her mouth, “I have never had a good relationship with my parents. You have found the wrong person. I can give you money. My family’s money is all in my hands. As long as you can let me go, I will be your boss and when I get out, it will be like this incident never happened, and I will never expose you.”
Jin Enxi tutted, “Do you think I will let you go back alive even after you have seen my face?”
Li Xitong’s expression changed, “What do you mean, killing someone? But it’s against the law.”
“Haha, you’re so funny. Who told you I was going to kill you?” Jin Enxi held her belly in her hands and laughed, as if she had heard some funny joke.
After laughing enough, Jin Enxi stopped and looked at Li Xitong, “Don’t worry, you will know what will happen to you soon.” After saying that, she turned around and left. Halfway through, she stopped and said, “Oh, by the way, you know, men over there in Africa all like Asian beauties, especially ones like you.”
The color on Li Xitong’s face instantly faded away. She looked at Jin Enxi in horror, especially when she looked at the smile on the corner of her mouth. She took several steps back.
Jin Enxi was happy and turned around and left the garage.
It took a long time for Li Xitong to recover from the shock given by Jin Enxi. She suddenly sat on the ground, as if she could not accept such a result. The porridge on the ground was still exuding fragrance, but Li Xitong did not drink it. She picked it up and threw it towards the corner. The hot porridge was scattered on the floor, and the rich aroma spread throughout the garage.
Jin Enxi looked at Li Xitong’s actions, and the smile on her face grew stronger, “Just to test the properties of the medicine.”
In the garage, Li Xitong looked restless and kept walking around, glancing at the porridge on the ground from time to time.
The porridge had already cooled down, but there was still a faint aroma of porridge in the air. She twitched her nose and smelled the remaining smell in the air, and her stomach growled even more cheerfully.
She seemed to feel the cold, folded her arms, sat directly on the ground, buried her head between her knees, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
“Tsk, tsk, this medicine has good properties, but the reaction is so severe in such a short period of time. Eden, now I understand why KING and others are trying every possible means to get this kind of thing. The effect is so strong, if it enters the market, many people will die in this life but they won’t ever think about quitting it.”
Jin Enxi looked at Li Xitong’s reaction and suddenly felt a little glad that this thing was not obtained by BK’s people.
It was also the first time for Eden to see it working on people. When Jin Enxi suggested giving that plant extract to Li Xitong to try, Eden only gave a small amount. If this amount were replaced by ordinary DP, it was not enough to become addicted in such a short period of time, but looking at Li Xitong’s current performance, she was clearly like an addict who had been using it for a long time.
“This is just the beginning. Her reaction should be more obvious later.” Eden said.
“Eden, please destroy this thing. Once it is accidentally obtained by someone with ulterior motives, the consequences will be disastrous.” Jin Enxi said in a deep voice, with a solemn look on her baby face.
Eden nodded. This plant extract was much more addictive than he originally expected.
“I’m going to destroy it now.” He turned around and left.
“Wait.” Jin Enxi called him, “Leave a little for me, as long as I can control Li Xitong’s amount.”
Eden nodded, “Okay.”
Jin Enxi turned her head and continued to watch Li Xitong’s performance.
Li Xitong wiped her tears and yawned, but her eyes were fixed on the porridge scattered on the floor. No matter how stupid she was, she still noticed the abnormality in her body, and she had not eaten anything else in the past few days. Nothing, except that bowl of porridge.
Her eyes were full of hatred. Although her mind was in chaos at the moment, she clearly realized that these people kidnapped her not for money at all, but for revenge.
“Hey, how does it taste?” Jin Enxi came in with a bowl of porridge again. The moment she saw Jin Enxi, Li Xitong wanted to pounce on her and bite her to death, but she was weak now. She was hungry and tortured by drug addiction. She could only stare at Jin Enxi. If eyes could kill, she was afraid that Jin Enxi would have been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.
Jin Enxi knelt down and looked at her with a smile that was kind and friendly, “Is the good thing I prepared for you tasty enough? Let me tell you, this is a unique good thing in the world. Many people want it but can’t get it. You should be very happy. It’s an honor for you to be the first one to taste it.”
“How much did Shen Qinglan give you?” Li Xitong’s voice came out from between her teeth.
Jin Enxi raised her eyebrows. Unexpectedly, this woman became smarter after the drug addiction broke out. Could this thing still make people enlightened? She did not answer Li Xitong’s words, but put the porridge on the ground, “This is what I prepared for you.”
Seeing that Li Xitong wanted to kick it over, Jin Enxi said calmly, “You can kick it over again, but if you get it on the ground again this time, you will lick it clean like a dog.”
Li Xitong’s foot stopped, but she still kicked the porridge in front of her.
Jin Enxi smiled nonchalantly and stood up, “Oh, since you like to be a dog, then let it go.”
“Let me out, you bastards.” Li Xitong roared behind Jin Enxi, but Jin Enxi’s footsteps did not move at all. She paused and left directly.
