The thing he couldn’t stand the most was Jiaojiao’s pitiful eyes. Back then, it was because of her eyes that Quan Jue was captured step by step.
Every time she looked at him like that, Quan Jue would feel a sense of satisfaction.
Pulling Chi Jiao into his embrace, he placed his palm on the back of her head and gently stroked it.
“Don’t be afraid. Brother Quan is here.”
Chi Jiao pressed her face against his chest and listened to his heartbeat. Her lips curled up.
A bloodthirsty glint flashed across her dark eyes.
The mastermind who killed her was also the person who indirectly killed Quan Jue.
Since that person was back, she couldn’t hide anymore.
The game truly began now.
This time, the final winner could only be her.
“Brother Quan, help me feed my dad some medicine. He’ll wake up after taking it,” Chi Jiao whispered after hugging him for a while.
Quan Jue nodded.
Yan Zhengchen stood outside the ward, his back casually leaning against the wall with a lazy posture.
At the nurses’ station not far away, a cell phone camera pointed at him and took two photos.
“I’ve seen that man on the news before. Isn’t he the president of the Yan Corporation, Yan Zhengchen?”
“I’ve seen him, too! It’s him! Wow! He looks even more handsome in person! Such a cold Adonis.”
“I researched him after seeing him on the news. He’s still single.”
At the nurses’ station, the two nurses looked at Yan Zhengchen from afar while whispering to each other.
Yan Zhengchen pretended not to hear them. He took out his phone and sent a video call request to Gong Lu.
“How’s Jiaojiao’s father?” was the first thing Gong Lu said when the call went through. He had been waiting for news from him.
Yan Zhengchen looked at the man in the video.
As Gong Lu was taking a bath, he could only see above his collarbones.
Yan Zhengchen’s Adam’s apple moved as he lowered his voice and said, “It’s nothing serious. It should be mental corruption.”
“So that means someone is deliberately harming him?” Gong Lu’s tone turned cold.
Yan Zhengchen stared straight at him and nodded.
“Then, how is Jiaojiao going to handle this matter? Call the police or handle it privately?” Gong Lu asked.
“Jiaojiao hasn’t said anything yet, but she has her own plans now. We just need to listen to her,” Yan Zhengchen said.
“Okay, then. Stay in White City and help Jiaojiao. I’ll be there tomorrow. I’m taking a shower. I’m hanging up.” After speaking, Gong Lu hung up.
Yan Zhengchen looked at his cell phone and licked the corner of his lips. His eyes seemed to want more.
Coincidentally, the ward door in front of him opened, and Quan Jue’s voice came from the inside. “Jiaojiao asked you to come in.”
Yan Zhengchen walked into the ward.
The two nurses who had been staring at Yan Zhengchen started a new discussion when they saw him enter the ward.
“Who’s the big shot in that ward?”
“He’s the one whom our hospital is collaborating with, Mr. Chi.”
“How does Mr. Chi know President Yan? Their identities are worlds apart.”
“Haish, didn’t you see that Yan Zhengchen came with a young lady just now? That young lady should be Mr. Chi’s daughter. Could he be pursuing her?”
“Ahhh! No way! I’m so jealous! I don’t care, I’m going to post my Adonis’ photo on Weibo!”
