After the phone call ended, a hush fell over the corridor again. Both Jin Fengchen and Song Qingwan were worried about Jin Fengyao, who was still in surgery, but neither said a word and remained silent.Two hours later, the door to the OR opened. Seeing this, Jin Fengchen and Song Qingwan immediately rushed over."Doctor, is he all right?" asked Song Qingwan anxiously.Slowly taking off his mask, the doctor said, "Fortunately, he was brought to us in time, and the burn wasn't extensive. His back has been burned the worst, but it's nothing life-threatening. He can be moved into a regular ward in a few days time."Hearing that Jin Fengyao would have to stay in the ICU, Song Qingwan drew in her breath. "Doctor, are you sure that it's not serious?"She looked so anxious that one would think that she was the one who had been injured. The doctor couldn't help saying, "Burns are unlike other injuries, so our opinion is that it'll be better for him to stay in the ICU."Before she could r
Lying there, Jin Fengchen looked so exhausted, and it pained Jiang Sese to see him like this.Caressing his cheek, Jiang Sese sounded worried when she said, "Fengchen, you've lost so much weight lately. When is it going to end?"Jin Fengchen chuckled, turned around, and pulled her into his arms. He then said gently, "How much weight could I have lost? It's only been a couple of days. I've been busy—that's all. Everything will be all right once this is over."Jiang Sese wrapped her arms tightly around Jiang Fengchen as though he would disappear if she let go of him."I know that you're working on something that's both arduous and dangerous, but Fengchen, I don't want anything happening to you. All I've ever wanted is for our entire family to stay safe."Jiang Sese sounded genuinely worried when she said that. Jin Fengchen knew what she was worried about, and that was why he didn't want her to know what he had been working on.After kissing her in the forehead, Jin Fengchen slowly
Jin Fengchen walked away after winking at Jiang Sese.He only called Bai Li back when he went up to the roof. "How did it go?""We've caught them, but we don't know what you want to do with them," said Bai Li indifferently."Hand them over to the police. You know what to do." Jin Fengchen trusted Bai Li's ability in handling such things.He looked up at the blue sky and saw the birds flying freely overhead.He wondered how many eyes under the same sky were fixed on him.Jin Fengchen could have kept the two men they had caught, instead of handing them to the police. That way, he would make sure that those men would pay for what they did.However, he didn't want to make too much noise or pull too many strings to handle those people yet. Since someone had offered to do it for him, he had gladly accepted their help.After all, those two men were nothing but two hitmen hired by Ji Chen, who had been hiding in the background—he was Jin Fengchen's real enemy.After hanging up, Jin Fe
"Say that again." Ji Chen's voice sounded cold.The assistant tensed when he saw how close Ji Chen was to losing his temper, but he still handed Ji Chen the financial report, saying, "Here's the quarterly financial report. Things have been slipping, and we heard a lot of unhappy voices during the last shareholder meeting. We'll only give them more excuses to criticize us if we move our funds at will like this."Ji Chen said contemptuously, "They're just a bunch of old men. Who did they think they were? I'm not taking orders from them, so just do as I say."The assistant didn't agree with the decision, but he knew that Ji Chen wouldn't listen to him even if he tried to change his mind. Having no other option, he had to do as he was told.After the assistant was gone, Ji Chen narrowed his eyes and crumbled the files in his hands. He then said maliciously, "Jin Fengchen, I'll remember this. You're going to pay for what you did."However, before he could make any trouble for Jin Fengc
It had been two days since Jin Fengchen last visited Jin Fengyao at the hospital. He knew that his brother was being looked after by Song Qingwan, but he was still concerned."Sese, let's go visit Fengyao today." Closing the financial report in his hands, Jin Fengchen spoke to Jiang Sese, who was reading next to him.Jiang Sese was engrossed in her book and only gave him an ambiguous "hm" as a reply.Jin Fengchen shook his head in resignation and went back to reviewing a contract.Once all the work had been finished, Jin Fengchen walked over to Jiang Sese, gently held her waist, and whispered in her ear, "It's time to go, silly girl."His breath tickled Jiang Sese, making her feel tingly. She said, "Let's go, then. Don't breathe on me like that. It tickles."But Jin Fengchen wasn't going to let her off that easily, and he asked, "What did I tell you that we were going to do after work today? Hmph?"Of course Jiang Sese didn't remember. As a result, she had to feign an innocent l
Since Jin Fengyao had stopped making strange noises, Song Qingwan could treat his wounds. She took out the medicine and gently sprinkled it onto his wounds.Looking at Jin Fengyao's mangled back, Song Qingwan recalled what Jiang Sese said earlier and she couldn't help saying, "What about your back? What if the wounds leave scars behind?"Jin Fengyao couldn't care less about that possibility, for he was a man and wouldn't be wearing anything that showed his back. He only said indifferently, "Whatever. As long as the wounds can heal, I don't care about the scars."The more indifferent he sounded, the more Song Qingwan wanted to blame herself. Heaving a sigh, she said quietly, "You're in this state because you tried to save me..."She had brought this subject up too often recently that Jin Fengyao snapped. "My face is intact and that's good enough for me. Are you ever going to stop? I got you into this, so of course I had to save you. Plus, cosmetic surgery is so advanced nowadays; if
The news was almost too good to be true, and Jiang Sese was dazed on the spot.Jin Fengchen couldn't help chuckling when he saw how astonished she was. He then asked the doctor, "What are the possibilities that the patient will wake up?"The doctor looked through Fang Xueman's chart, then said, "The lump in the patient's head has shrunk significantly, so I would say that we're looking at a 50% chance at least."Jiang Sese was pleasantly surprised. 50% was a very big chance.This meant that her mother might really wake up, so she asked eagerly, "How's my mother's condition now?"Adjusting his glasses, the doctor said, "Actually, the patient is able to wake up so soon all because of Mr. Jin."A while ago, Mr. Jin had some advanced medical equipment shipped over from abroad, and they have been very helpful to the patient's treatment."Moreover, we have invited some specialists here to treat Ms. Fang, and that's why she has been improving. I didn't notify you until now, because I wa
Jiang Sese paused for a moment before pointing to her chest and saying through gritted teeth, "Hmph! There's no place for a father here anymore! It disappeared the moment he chased me out of the family!"She was so agitated that Jin Fengchen immediately wrapped hugged her and told Jiang Zhen, "Mr. Jiang, my wife has made it clear that she doesn't welcome you. If you know what's good for you, you'd leave as quickly as possible."His pressure was so great that Jiang Zhen knew that he would just humiliate himself by staying here, but he couldn't leave."Fengchen...""Sorry, I don't think we're that close."Jiang Zhen tried to appear chummy with Jin Fengchen, but his attempt had been ruthlessly rejected."Mr. Jin, please let me speak to Sese." He steadied his breathing and tried again. "Sese, I know Shen Shulan and Nuannuan were terrible back then. Honestly, I wanted to bring them here to apologize to you today.""We're a family. Sese, please spare them, if only for my sake. Can you
