The corridor was filled with Ye Chenhan's voice, which drifted into the ward and startled Ye Ziyu.
After listening for a long time, she opened her eyes before Ye Chenhan could cause trouble.
“Sister Ziyu.” Yu Xixi had been lying by the door, secretly watching every move outside.
Ye Ziyu reached out and opened the door in front of her, walking out wearily.
“Ziyu?” Gu Xiuyu’s gaze crossed Ye Chenhan.
Hearing such an intimate address from him, Ye Chenhan’s clenched fist, which had been hanging by his leg, could no longer be restrained.
His collar suddenly tightened. Gu Xiuyu looked at Ye Chenhan’s upturned features, his gaze falling on his knuckles, bone-white from gripping his collar.
“Chenhan!” Yu Xixi exclaimed, rushing over. She forcefully pulled his arm down, dragging him away from Gu Xiuyu.
“Let me go, I have to teach him a lesson today!” Gu Xiuyu struggled, trying to throw another punch.
Ye Ziyu walked to his side and quieted him with a look. Then she turned to Gu Xiuyu, “Mr. Gu, are you here to give me the surveillance video?”
“No, I happened to be at the hospital and ran into Assistant Shen. I thought General Di might be in trouble, so I came to check.” Gu Xiuyu explained.
His words, which he thought were perfect, were full of holes in Ye Ziyu’s eyes.
“Oh? Mr. Gu, why would you think it’s Mingjue who’s in trouble, and not me or someone else?”
“I…”
Gu Xiuyu stammered, unable to answer.
“Can’t speak now? Still not admitting it?”
Ye Chenhan was like a wild beast about to go mad, and Yu Xixi beside him couldn’t stop him.
The roar in her ear was deafening. Ye Ziyu looked at Shen Lin helplessly, “Take him inside. I have something to discuss with Mr. Gu.”
“Ziyu, you can’t be alone with him. Who knows if he’ll do something to you again when no one is around.” Ye Chenhan pushed away Shen Lin, resisting Ye Ziyu’s arrangement.
The reason she didn’t want him involved was precisely for this situation.
Ye Ziyu ordered, “Assistant Shen, take him inside!”
The second time she spoke, there was no room for negotiation.
Shen Lin stood in front of Ye Chenhan with a troubled expression, “Fourth Young Master, you should still listen to Madam’s arrangements.”
“Ye Chenhan, you’re getting quite bold. Go back obediently and don’t make Sister Ziyu have to worry about you anymore.” Yu Xixi, standing beside him, pouted and slapped Ye Chenhan’s arm.
Shouting a few times wouldn’t solve anything, and with no one on his side now, Ye Chenhan had to restrain himself. However, to prevent Gu Xiuyu from feeling smug, he glared fiercely at him before leaving.
After they left, the air immediately became quiet.
Ye Ziyu looked up at Gu Xiuyu, “Sorry, he didn’t mean anything by it.”
“It’s alright. After all, General Di had trouble at my banquet. It’s understandable that he suspects me.” Gu Xiuyu said, glancing at Ye Ziyu’s expression. “I seemed to hear him mention poisoning just now? Is General Di suffering from food poisoning?”
Did he say that?
Ye Ziyu looked up and met Gu Xiuyu’s curious gaze. “Thank you for your trouble, Mr. Gu. Can I have the surveillance video now?”
“Sure.” Gu Xiuyu put his hands in his pockets and felt around. “The item seems to be left in the car. Ziyu, why don’t you come down with me to get it, or you can wait for me upstairs for a while.”
“I’ll go down with you,” Ye Ziyu said.
Rather than waiting with no result, it was better to take the initiative and keep things in her own hands.
The two entered the elevator together, just as Shen Lin, who had just come out of the ward, saw them. He looked at them disappearing before his eyes uneasily, hesitating whether to follow.
Just as he raised his foot, a scream from the ward behind him rang out.
“Mingjue, you’re awake?”
“Assistant Shen, quickly ask Sister Ziyu to come in!”
