Ever since she learned that Jian Mubai was acting as her bodyguard to get revenge, Shen Keqin wished she never had to see him again in her life.
She even thought that if Jian Mubai died from excessive bleeding after being hit by her, it would be his own fault.
But when she heard Jian Mubai say his arm was broken, her heart couldn't help but tighten.
She struggled for a long time.
Without even thinking, she knew that Jian Mubai's injuries all over his body must have been inflicted by Shen Chi Yan.
He was also tied up here by Shen Chi Yan.
But she didn't quite understand why her fifth brother called Jian Mubai a gift for her.
Did he want her to seek revenge on Jian Mubai for being kidnapped and deceived?
Seeing that Shen Keqin neither left nor turned back, Jian Mubai moved slightly, groaning in pain.
Shen Keqin fiercely pinched her palm, but ultimately couldn't bring herself to abandon Jian Mubai.
She walked over, untied the ropes, and looked coldly at Jian Mubai, "From now on, don't appear before me."
Jian Mubai's face was as pale as paper, and cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
She gritted her teeth and turned to leave. Jian Mubai hobbled forward and blocked her, "Can… can you call a car to take me to the hospital?"
Shen Keqin was furious. Releasing him was already an act of mercy, how dare he ask her to take him to the hospital.
"Call it yourself!"
She ignored Jian Mubai any further, walked to the motorcycle, put on her helmet, and started the engine.
After riding a few meters, she glanced back in the rearview mirror. She saw Jian Mubai walking extremely slowly, his leg seemed broken too, and even an ant would crawl faster than him.
This is truly a sin!
How could she have encountered such a thing!
It's all Shen Chi Yan's fault, that scoundrel!
No matter, this is all Jian Mubai's own doing, he deserved to be beaten, deserved to become crippled.
The motorcycle traveled a few more meters. Shen Keqin cursed under her breath, executed a beautiful drift, and turned the bike around, riding back towards Jian Mubai.
When Jian Mubai saw Shen Keqin turn back, his bloodless lips curved slightly.
Shen Keqin, on the surface, appeared sharp-tongued and unfeeling, but in reality, she was kind and soft-hearted.
The motorcycle stopped beside Jian Mubai. Shen Keqin coldly said to him, "Get on!"
Jian Mubai looked at Shen Keqin's beautiful and sleek motorcycle. This bike was a birthday gift from Shen Chi Yan to Shen Keqin on her eighteenth birthday, and only three such bikes existed in the world.
Shen Keqin cherished it dearly, and when she first got it, she wanted to wipe it three times a day and never let anyone else touch it.
"Just help me call a car. I'm dirty and will get your car dirty."
Shen Keqin was already annoyed, and seeing Jian Mubai's dithering made her even more irritated. "Are you getting on or not?"
Jian Mubai was afraid Shen Keqin would leave, so he immediately nodded, "Yes."
But Jian Mubai's hands and legs were injured, so getting on the bike was quite difficult.
Shen Keqin listened to him suppressing his pain but still letting out muffled groans, her small face contorted with discomfort.
It took several minutes just to get on the bike.
As soon as he was seated, Shen Keqin started the engine, but because Jian Mubai wasn't holding on properly, he almost fell off.
Shen Keqin, who had been holding back her anger for a long time, felt it surge up. "Can't you hold onto me?"
Thinking of Jian Mubai's broken arm, she cursed softly, took off her and Jian Mubai's shirts, tied them together, and then used the shirts to bind Jian Mubai and herself together.
With this, Shen Keqin's back was pressed against Jian Mubai's chest.
Feeling Jian Mubai's burning temperature, she realized that the scoundrel seemed to have a fever.
"You'd better behave yourself, or if you fall off and die, I won't care."
Jian Mubai, uncharacteristically obedient, replied, "Okay."
Shen Keqin rode the motorcycle with a cool and dashing style. Every time Jian Mubai saw her ride, he would worry about her getting hurt while being captivated by her.
She always had a charm that made it impossible to look away.
At first, Jian Mubai deliberately kept his distance from Shen Keqin. Shen Chi Yan felt extremely uncomfortable about it but had no choice but to tolerate it.
However, not long after, Jian Mubai's head suddenly drooped onto her shoulder. Her heart skipped a beat, and she nudged her shoulder to remind Jian Mubai, "Don't lean on me."
Jian Mubai didn't react for a long time. Shen Keqin called out again, "Hey, move away from me!"
Shen Keqin smelled good. Having been raised in luxury, she had the best of everything in terms of food, clothing, and daily necessities. Her skin was fair and tender. If one got a little closer, they could catch the intoxicating fragrance from her.
Jian Mubai's ears were buzzing. He seemed to hear Shen Keqin speaking, but he couldn't hear what she was saying clearly.
If only…
If only time could stop at this moment.
Jian Mubai's breathing was rapid and hot. He was leaning entirely on Shen Keqin, having completely fainted.
Shen Keqin was somewhat frightened.
After finally managing to get him to the hospital, Shen Keqin was covered in sweat.
When Jian Mubai was pushed into the operating room, Shen Keqin's face turned pale with fright.
Jian Mubai had suffered such severe injuries and was tied up in a deserted factory all night. Would he die like this?
Lost and confused, Shen Keqin immediately called Shen Chi Yan.
"Hello… did you see the gift I gave you?"
"What kind of a gift is that? He's practically dying!"
Shen Chi Yan was unfazed, "Is he that fragile?"
"You broke his arm and leg, and he sat on the cold ground with a fever all night, you…"
Before Shen Keqin could finish speaking, Shen Chi Yan interrupted her.
"What? Are you blaming me?"
"I…"
Shen Keqin was speechless.
"Don't forget what he did. Breaking his arm and leg is already letting him off easy."
"What if he dies?"
"Are you afraid he'll die, or are you afraid I'll be arrested by the police if he dies?"
Shen Keqin's heart was in turmoil. She opened her mouth subconsciously, her words stumbling, "I… of course, I'm worried about you."
Shen Chi Yan let out a soft snort, not exposing Shen Keqin's little thoughts.
"Don't worry, he won't die. If he really dies, it'll be his own fault. Alright, I'm busy, go play by yourself!"
Listening to the buzzing tone on the other end, Shen Keqin felt utterly dejected.
What is all this!
Shen Keqin, unsure of how to handle the situation, called Guan Mingxu.
When Guan Mingxu heard that Shen Keqin was at the hospital, he asked anxiously, "Are you hurt? Or not feeling well?"
"It's not me, it's Jian Mubai."
Shen Keqin told Guan Mingxu everything about Jian Mubai. Upon hearing it, Guan Mingxu was beside himself, "Why are you entangled with him again?"
"I'm not, I…"
"Alright, I understand. Now listen to me, you've done your utmost by sending him to the hospital. Listen to me, leave the hospital immediately and don't bother with him anymore."
Shen Keqin nodded, "You're right, I'll leave now."
Guan Mingxu on the other end nodded with relief, thinking she was teachable.
However, the next second, Shen Keqin suddenly stopped. "I can't leave yet."
Guan Mingxu: "...Why?"
"He was beaten into that state by my fifth brother. If he dies, my fifth brother definitely can't escape responsibility."
Guan Mingxu: "..."
Just as he was about to speak, Shen Keqin had already hung up the phone.
Guan Mingxu sighed heavily. She had clearly developed feelings for Jian Mubai, yet she was using the excuse of thinking for Shen Chi Yan.
With Shen Chi Yan's capabilities, couldn't he handle such a minor matter?
