Time flew and a week passed quickly, but Yao Sheng kept sleeping deeply without any sign of waking up. His parents almost collapsed, so did Feng Yuan. Although Ling Tianyi and Xia Xiaoluo helped them, they could only look after Yao Sheng’s parents outside the ICU. They could do nothing else, because they were not doctors.
Top experts of Brain Surgery that Li Xiuqi invited had three consultations, but none of the treatment could wake Yao Sheng up.
“Doctor Li, I trust you, so you must tell me the truth. How is Yao Sheng now? Can he wake up? I can accept any consequence, so please tell me the truth.” Ling Tianyi asked, feeling anxious. Even though he was always calm, he almost went mad after waiting for one week.
“Manager Ling, in fact, we are not sure. In other words, we can only wait for a miracle. There is still no sign of waking up after a week since we conducted the operation so he will be a vegetable with the possibility of ninety percent.” Being talented, Li Xiuqi tended to tell the truth. However, many other doctors would conceal the serious truth to the distinguished people like Ling Tianyi. Ling Tianyi appreciated Li Xiuqi for what he did.
“Can we wake him up in other ways?” Ling Tianyi asked.
“We are trying our best. Manager Ling, your family members can try to wake him up. I can’t say that you will definitely make it, but mental strength is much more effective than medical means in many clinical cases. Many people did it before, so you can stimulate his memory with something, or some people he cares about.” Li Xiuqi said.
“I will find a way to wake him up!” Ling Tianyi nodded. He thought that it was time for Shen Jiani who disappeared for one week to show up.
In fact, Ling Tianyi and Yao Sheng’s family members kept talking to Yao Sheng through the microphone during this week. Even Xia Xiaoluo who was not familiar with him also did the same thing, but it didn’t work at all.
To Ling Tianyi’s surprise, Yao Sheng’s parents who have been separated for more than ten years wanted to be together again in order to form a warm family for Yao Sheng. Yao Sheng was only 17 years old when they separated. He was very rebellious at that time so he never went home again since then and started to live alone. He seldom met his parents even though they were all in A City. The relationship between Yao Sheng and his parents was even worse after he went to university and joined the army.
Ling Tianyi really hoped that Yao Sheng could survive and improve the relationship with his parents. He knew that Yao Sheng always longed for a warm family.
Ling Tianyi planned to take Shen Jiani to the hospital, but he didn’t want Yao Sheng’s parents to know her background. Or they would kill her if they knew Shen Jiani caused the accident. Therefore, Ling Tianyi only told his parents that Yao Sheng was carrying a torch for a woman and he wanted her to wake Yao Sheng up.
Yao Sheng’s parents always hoped that Yao Sheng could marry a girl early. They were anxious when they knew that Ling Tianyi was going to get married, because their son didn’t even have a girlfriend. Thus, they were very excited when they knew that Yao Sheng fell in love with a girl.
Feng Mingjun even said that she would persuade the girl to marry Yao Sheng as long as she came.
Leaving Xia Xiaoluo in the hospital, Ling Tianyi went to meet Shen Jiani by himself. He didn’t want to play tricks in front of Xia Xiaoluo, because she would be afraid of him. What was more, she would be depressed and look down upon him.
Xia Xiaoluo agreed. She was willing to take care of Yao Sheng’s family in the hospital.
After making several phone calls, Ling Tianyi went to meet Shen Jiani who has been imprisoned for one week.
Shen Jiani was in an abandoned garage with several empty houses. In order to punish her while keeping her alive, Ling Tianyi arranged Chu Wei to lock her there for a whole week.
Shen Jiani almost collapsed.
Not being a mean person, Chu Wei did not treat her bad or bully her. Instead, he treated her well. But as a common woman, Shen Jiani couldn’t stand being imprisoned for a whole week.
Seeing Ling Tianyi, Shen Jiani started crying and cursing him badly.
“It’s enough! Let’s make a deal!” Ling Tianyi said and sat on an abandoned wheel beside Shen Jiani who was lying on her stomach.
“Go to hell! I won’t be taken advantage of! I will never go to see Yao Sheng! Never!” Shen Jiani shouted. Being a smart girl, Shen Jiani knew what Ling Tianyi wanted.
Ling Tianyi smiled coldly, ignoring her. Seeing this, Chu Wei knew that Ling Tianyi would do something evil.
Ling Tianyi took an envelope out of the pocket of his windbreaker and threw it to Shen Jiani. “If you don’t cooperate with me, I will put these photos on the websites all over the world in one hour. All the mainstream TV channels in A City and even in the whole country will report it! What’s more, all the netizens will search you and your father will know about it. As a result, the stock price of the Shen’s Group will crash because of you!”
Ling Tianyi hated threatening people with some dirty photos, because it was immoral. But he had to treat Shen Jiani like that. She was rich, so money would not work; she had many sex partners, so she would not mind being raped by several tough men. He couldn’t threaten her with the Shen’s Group directly either, because the Shen’s Group was a large corporation. What was more, Huasheng Group had a good relationship with the Shen’s Group. Therefore, Ling Tianyi had no choice.
Shen Jiani was so angry that she tore those photos into pieces.
“Ling Tianyi, you bastard! I thought you are just bad-tempered, and you are excellent in other aspects. But I’m wrong! I’m really wrong! How can you do such evil things to me? You are totally a scum! You will go to hell!” Shen Jiani got furious and kept cursing him.
“I will count to three and you know what will happen if you don’t agree!” Ling Tianyi said coldly and firmly.
“One!” Ling Tianyi said slowly.
“Oh? You are rather stubborn! Well, two!” Looking at Shen Jiani confidently, Ling Tianyi knew that she would definitely give in.
“OK! Stop! I will do that! I will make the deal with you! But you must promise me to destroy all the photos and the backups, or I will revenge on you! I dare to die, so you will be hurt even though you are powerful!” Shen Jiani said angrily.
She must keep it as a secret from his father who loved her, because she was unwilling to destroy the Shen’s Group which was established by his father for half of his life. Therefore, although she was stubborn and emulative, she had to surrender.
Ling Tianyi didn’t want to do that, but he had no choice. He was glad to see that she agreed.
“I promise! I will never threaten you with these photos again! But you must act for me well, or you and the Shen’s Group will both be in disgrace!” Ling Tianyi kept stating the advantages and disadvantages in order to let her behave well.
“Relax. I minored in Drama Performance in the United States, so I will be an excellent actress!” She wiped her tears because she wanted to be brave in front of her enemy.
“When you are in the hospital, behave like an educated girl. You should be polite to Yao Sheng’s parent to make them happy. Yao Sheng is still in the ICU and he will probably be a vegetable, so his family members and lover should try to wake him up. You must say something that he likes through the microphone every day. You can say that you fall in love with him, or apologize to him for what you did. Remember that you must stay in the hospital for more than 12 hours every day.” Ling Tianyi told her what she had to do. He felt worried when talking about the possibility of Yao Sheng becoming a vegetable.
“Ling Tianyi! I can cooperate with you. But what if he recovers and forces me to marry him? I must be responsible for my life-long happiness! If he keeps asleep deeply, I will waste my whole life! I would rather to die! You are so cunning! It’s unfair!” Knowing that it was unfair to her, Shen Jiani questioned.
“Em! Good questions!” Ling Tianyi said with a smile.
“Well, I promise you that you can leave the hospital after one year from now on if he keeps asleep. On the contrary, if he wakes up, you cannot leave until three months after he leaves the hospital. At that time, I will never interfere you because it’s none of my business. I know that you don’t want to marry him, and I don’t want to see that either.” Ling Tianyi said, he thought that it was reasonable.
“Well, deal! Is it necessary to sign a contract?” Shen Jiani asked.
“A contract? I don’t think it’s necessary. Contracts can’t control you. Those photos are the most important things to you!” Ling Tianyi said, thinking that Shen Jiani would take care of Yao Sheng patiently as long as he took those photos.
“Well! I don’t want to argue with you! That’s deal! And please keep your promise. But I can’t go to the hospital now because I haven’t taken a shower for one week. Yao Sheng will be frightened if he sees me!” Shen Jiani ridiculed herself. She always paid much attention to her appearance, but she was as dirty as a beggar now.
“Don’t worry. I always keep my promise. It’s really improper for you to go to the hospital now, so I will order someone to take you home to dress yourself up. Gentle outfits, light make-up and black hair are okay, or his parents may not accept you. You can prepare yourself today and accompany Yao Sheng in the hospital for at least 12 hours every day from tomorrow.” Ling Tianyi said and gave her a check. “This is your salary, more than that of any senior executive in my company.!”
After that, Ling Tianyi left, driving to the hospital. Shen Jiani waved her fists. “Ling Tianyi! Remember, I will never let you go! You and Yao Sheng are both evil! I will revenge on you as long as I’m alive!”
