The next day, due to Song Kai Cheng's arm injury, he was unable to go out.
For safety reasons, six bodyguards and two cars were arranged to escort Shen Xi to Mayor Abel's home to treat him.
At eleven in the morning, while he was sitting in his study looking at documents, he suddenly received a call from Abel.
He immediately sat up straight and slid to answer the call.
"Hello? Good morning, Mayor Abel."
"Good morning, Mr. Song." Abel's clear voice came through the phone. "Dr. Shen told me you went out to play yesterday and encountered thugs and got injured? How are you now?"
"It's just a few superficial wounds, nothing serious. I'll recover after a few days of rest." Song Kai Cheng was very touched by the mayor's personal call to check on him.
"That's good. With Dr. Shen here, I'm sure you'll get better very quickly." Mayor Abel continued in a gentle tone, "I'm calling with some good news to tell you.
That commercial force that infiltrated from abroad has been driven out of Country B by us."
"Oh? So quickly?" Song Kai Cheng couldn't quite believe it. "It wasn't that business tycoon you mentioned, was it?"
Abel smiled and said, "It was him. His capabilities are extraordinary. In just a few days, he managed to thoroughly investigate their 'stronghold,' and they are currently working on the clean-up. City H will soon regain its bustling and safe atmosphere."
Upon hearing this, Song Kai Cheng frowned. "Mayor Abel, I am very curious about that tycoon. May I know his name?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Song. I cannot tell you. I have an agreement with him not to disclose his information to anyone." Abel smiled. "You focus on your recovery, and when your injuries are healed, we'll continue our cooperation."
Song Kai Cheng had no choice but to give up. After exchanging a few more pleasantries, he hung up the phone.
His eyes flickered, and he suddenly thought of the luxury car parked outside Shen Xi's house, which looked very similar to the one he saw in front of Abel's villa the day before yesterday.
A jolt of shock went through him, and he immediately made a call.
"Send two people to stake out near Shen Xi's house and see if anyone has been coming and going there these past few days."
After Mayor Abel hung up, Camilla handed him a cup of coffee.
"Is it right for us to do this? Don't forget that you asked Dr. Shen to come back to help Mr. Song in the first place."
Taking the cup, Abel put his arm around her shoulder and sat her down on the sofa. "I have no choice. Those people were too rampant. Only Mr. Qin could help me drive them away completely, and he did.
I cannot break my agreement with him, or I would be a man without integrity.
Besides, he is planning to invest in a major enterprise in City H, and I cannot afford to offend a globally renowned business tycoon like him."
"I never expected Dr. Shen to be so charming that two excellent men are vying for her. Moreover, I feel she clearly favors Mr. Qin," Camilla said thoughtfully.
"Oh? How did you come to that conclusion?" Mayor Abel looked at her with surprise.
Camilla gently tugged his arm. "Don't you remember two days ago, Daniel heard noises in the woods in the backyard?"
"Of course, I remember," Abel replied.
Camilla continued, "Later, I saw Mr. Qin emerge from the woods in the backyard. It's very likely that Dr. Shen and Mr. Qin were having a private meeting there."
"Ah? Is that so?" Abel looked astonished. His eyes darted around as he grasped his wife's hand. "Let's pretend we don't know about this, and let's not get involved anymore.
Mr. Qin and Mr. Song are both excellent. As for who Dr. Shen will ultimately choose, that is for her to decide."
In the afternoon, Shen Xi walked to Song Kai Cheng's door with her medical kit, took a deep breath, and knocked twice.
"Brother Kai Cheng, it's time to change your dressing. Can I come in?"
"Come in," Song Kai Cheng's gentle voice came from inside.
Shen Xi gently pushed the door open and walked in, seeing Song Kai Cheng sitting on the sofa in his loungewear.
She walked over and began to change his dressing meticulously, while Song Kai Cheng stared at her intently.
Shen Xi felt very uncomfortable under his gaze and just wanted to finish changing the dressing quickly and leave.
Suddenly, Song Kai Cheng spoke slowly, "Xixi, if I remember correctly, Qin Si Ye's grandmother's acupuncture treatment is not finished yet.
You've been in Country B for so long this time. Has he contacted you?"
