1647 Solicitous for No Reason
After Yuan Yuan and Chai Qing left, the atmosphere in the hospital corridor improved a lot. Compared with when nobody had done anything when Yuan Yuan was around just now, Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong, Yang Ji, Li Xiaoyan and Xia Mingcheng now took the initiative to greet Chi Shuyan. They respectfully called her Master, and felt quite at ease.
Chi Shuyan nodded at them. Her eyes subconsciously lingered on Xia Mingcheng, whose fists were clenched so tightly that they were white. She saw that his eyes were still fixed on Yuan Yuan’s departing back, filled with hatred and confusion.
Speaking of which, she was really worried that Xia Mingcheng would lose control and question Yuan Yuan about Yan Liling’s death. It would be best if he could endure it. Moreover, Yuan Yuan’s acting skills were really too good, and she was too accurate in seeing into a person’s heart.
When Xia Mingcheng was dating Yan Liling, he might have felt that Yuan Yuan had a good impression of him, but he probably didn’t know for sure whether or not she liked him, and to what extent.
If Yan Liling’s personal assistant hadn’t said anything, Chi Shuyan probably wouldn’t have wondered about Yuan Yuan’s feelings for Xia Mingcheng now; she would have thought that it was just a good impression at most.
After all, apart from her possessive gaze at the very beginning, Yuan Yuan hadn’t crossed the line in any other situation.
It was no wonder that Yang Ji, Wang Jinyang and Yi Junzhong had never suspected her.
After thinking about it for a moment, Chi Shuyan immediately threw the thought to the back of her mind and came back to her senses. She heard Brother Feng say solemnly to Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong and Li Xiaoyan, “You guys can stay and help take care of Huang Chong. If that Yuan woman comes again next time, don’t give her an opportunity to be alone with Huang Chong.”
Except for Yang Ji, who had a vague guess in his heart, Wang Jinyang and the others were stumped and puzzled when they heard this.
As for Feng Yuanlin, he was used to thinking too much. Last time, nothing happened to Yang Ji, and that Yuan woman seemed very concerned about whether he lived or not. Now that something had happened to Huang Chong, the other party suddenly rushed over and probed the situation several times. It was impossible for him not to suspect her.
Feng Yuanlin was worried that the Yuan woman would attack Huang Chong. It hadn’t been easy to save Huang Chong, and he didn’t want anything to happen to him again. The more Feng Yuanlin thought about it, the more solemn and unsightly his face became. He made up his mind to leave a few of his subordinates here to take turns watching Huang Chong.
Yi Junzhong seemed to see Feng Yuanlin’s unsightly face and couldn’t help but ask directly, “Director Feng, why does it sound like you think Yuan Yuan will attack Huang Chong?”
Yi Junzhong didn’t think much of it and just asked the question outright. As soon as said that, his heart inexplicably jumped despite the absurd notion. Who knew what the others were thinking, but their faces changed a little.
Feng Yuanlin didn’t know how to explain, and wanted Shuyan to do so. Yang Ji wanted to say something, but hesitated. He kept looking at Master Chi on the side, hoping that she would reveal Yuan Yuan’s true colors.
Now that things had come to this point, there was nothing to hide. They already knew about Yan Liling, so as Yang Ji wanted, Chi Shuyan replied to Yi Junzhong very frankly, “Mm, like you said, Brother Feng and I are worried that Yuan Yuan might attack Huang Chong.”
As soon as she said that, everyone’s faces changed drastically. Wang Jinyang and Yi Junzhong immediately retorted, “Impossible!”
Chi Shuyan wasn’t in a hurry to refute the two, and only said lightly, “As the saying goes, one who is unaccountably solicitous hides evil intentions. After what happened to Yang Ji last time, Miss Yuan seemed very concerned about whether Yang Ji lived or not. Now, something happened to Huang Chong, and she rushed over; she even told Wang Jinyang to keep her posted on Huang Chong’s condition. Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Chi Shuyan’s words could be said to set off a huge wave in everyone’s hearts. They were in disbelief and shock. Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong, Xia Mingcheng and Li Xiaoyan were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped to the floor. Their expressions changed a dozen times in a minute in an impressive display, but there was genuine fear in their eyes, especially Xia Mingcheng’s. After all, that Yuan woman had grown very close to his mother recently, and he was afraid that something would happen to her.
Xia Mingcheng wanted to say something, but he didn’t know what, and he hesitated. His expression was especially complicated.
Only Yang Ji, who had long known about this, was calmer. He was a little anxious and hurriedly asked, “Master Chi, what on earth is going on?”
Feng Yuanlin was also very curious and asked Shuyan, “Shuyan, what do you think that Yuan woman’s motive is?”
When Wang Jinyang, Li Xiaoyan, and Yi Junzhong found out the truth, they panicked completely. An absurd and terrifying thought flashed through their minds. Wang Jinyang rashly blurted out, “Master Chi, is what happened to us related to that Yuan woman? Are Liling, Lin Dong and Gu Guobin’s deaths all related to that Yuan woman?”
Chi Shuyan admired Wang Jinyan’s quick reaction. Soon, under the expectant gazes of Yi Junzhong, Li Xiaoyan, Xia Mingcheng and Yang Ji, she replied, “The thing you encountered was most likely specially invited by Miss Yuan from somewhere to ‘receive’ you!”
When Wang Jinyang, Yi Junzhong, Li Xiaoyan, Xia Mingcheng and even Yang Ji heard this, they almost lost their composure and jumped up on the spot. They couldn’t accept it and got goosebumps all over their bodies. Their limbs and bones were cold, and their hearts were even colder.
Li Xiaoyan and Wang Jinyang, who were the most cowardly, subconsciously looked around, feeling extremely uneasy. Their eyes were filled with horror and confusion, but even more hatred.
Everyone was especially agitated. When Wang Jinyang asked again, his tongue was still tied in knots with agitation. “Mas… Master, what did you just say? Did I hear wrongly?”
“That’s right, Master, did we hear wrongly?”
