Shen Wanci couldn't get in, she could only look through the glass and didn't dare to make a sound. Everyone was busy, she was afraid that her interruption would delay the doctor's rescue.

"Wanci, why are you standing here?"

That was Nie Yu Cheng's voice.

Right after, a figure walked up to her and looked inside with her. Seeing the constant stream of medical staff coming and going, he frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"I don't know."

Seeing him, Shen Wanci let out a breath. She glanced at his back again, and there was Gu Chenye who arrived late. Perhaps it was her imagination, but although his expression remained as usual, Shen Wanci felt that his mood seemed better than when she last saw him.

"He'll hold on. Don't worry."

Shen Wanci thought he was comforting her, she reluctantly raised the corners of her lips and nodded. Then Nie Yucheng continued, "He's so stingy, he definitely wouldn't let you go to another man. Even if one foot stepped into the ghost gate, he would crawl back."

"...."

After a while, the doctor came out of the ward. He opened the door and said to Shen Wanci, whose face was full of anxiety: “The patient just woke up for a moment and then fell into a coma again. This means that the situation is improving. Just observe her overnight. If there's nothing wrong, she can be transferred to a general ward.”

"Thank you."

Shen Wanci's heart, which had been hanging high in her chest, fell back down. Her heart had been going up and down all night with her emotions. If it happened a few more times, she'd need to be hospitalized in the ICU.

Doctor: "Go home and rest first. There's no use for family members to stay here. We have your phone number, and we'll contact you immediately if there are any updates."

After finishing, he closed the door.

Nie Yucheng knew that persuading Shen Wanci to go back at this time would be futile. She wouldn't agree, whether it was Yu Ting Garden or her previous apartment; they were all too far away. He placed his hand on her shoulder and patted it soothingly: "There's a hotel nearby. Why don't you go rest for a while? At least take a shower and get some sleep. Jingzhou still doesn't know how long he'll be unconscious. You definitely can't stay awake. Don't let him wake up and find you exhausted, then he'll cling to you like a mummy and have to take care of you too."

He took out his phone, opened the camera and held it in front of Shen Wanci.

Her current appearance could be perfectly described as "disheveled and worn," because she had been crying, with two clear streaks of tears on her face.

Shen Wanci: "..."

Nie Yu Cheng saw her visibly stunned, a smirk tugging at his lips: "Jing Zhou would be heartbroken seeing you like this."

In the end, a few people still went to the nearby hotel. Bo Jingzhou hadn't escaped danger yet, and Nie Yucheng and Gu Chenye also booked a room at the hotel.

Shen Wanci finished her shower and discovered that Qin Yuezhi had sent her a lot of messages.

"How come you stopped talking all of a sudden? Wanci, you wouldn't have fainted from anxiety, would you?"

How is Bo Jingzhou doing?

"Don't worry, he'll be fine. With that mouth of his, he could talk his way out of anything, even down in the underworld."

Shěn Wǎncí's hand hurt, she didn't want to type, so she simply made a video call.

Qin Yuezhi was messaging her, picking up the phone in a second and firing off questions like a machine gun: "Didn't you say the person had already been sent to the hospital? Is everything okay? You suddenly stopped replying to my messages just now without giving a reason, it scared me to death."

"I just got to the hotel and was about to take a shower when I saw that you sent so many messages."

“You… how did you go to the hotel?” Bo Jingzhou was in the hospital, Shen Wanci would definitely be guarding him, and she hadn't replied to his messages for over two hours. Could it be that she was gone? Just thinking about this possibility, her voice became softer, careful not to startle her.

Shen Wanci looked at her eyes and knew she was thinking too much. "Bo Jingzhou is in the ICU right now, and family members are not allowed to visit. I couldn't do anything staying there, so I booked a room in a nearby hotel to rest. The doctor said his condition has stabilized and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be transferred to a general ward tomorrow."

Only after knowing that everyone was alright did Qin Yue relax and have some free time to vent about her current situation to him.

She held up her hands, tied with a ribbon, to the camera, and then showed her bound legs: "Tell someone to let me go."

"?!" Shen Wanci's eyes widened in surprise: "You...?"

Qin Yuezhi curled her lips, full of resentment: "Who made you ask someone to watch me? He always wears a straight face. Besides work, he doesn't fart more than five times in private affairs. When he gets bored, everyone becomes abnormal. As soon as you leave, he tied me up."

She leaned closer to the camera, showing Shen Wanci the nonexistent wound on her face, "He not only tied me up but also assaulted me."

Shen Wanci: "..."

Does the lawyer not like silk? How can he be so rough with her? Wouldn't it be some kind of special fetish?

She didn't see the injury on Qin Yue's face, but seeing her speak so convincingly, she also felt a little uneasy in her heart. Could Huo Tingdong have really hit her?

Huo Tingdong, sitting behind his desk, looked down at the documents without saying a word about Qin Yuezhi's slander against him.

Shen Wanci: "Lawyer Huo..."

When his name was called, Huo Tingdong put down his pen and walked over. He first glanced at Qin Yuezhi who was sitting on the sofa, her face full of guilt but she still stubbornly met his gaze, trying to intimidate him with her eyes. In her strong resistance, he easily took her phone.

He glanced at the bloodstain on his wrist, left by her bite: “When Ms. Shen comes to pick someone up next time, please pay for the rabies vaccine first. As for her so-called assault, I was just swatting her away and my nails accidentally scratched her face. She has since paid me back for it.”

Shen Wanci: "..."

Qin Yue's voice was weak and hesitant as she replied, "When will I ever come back?"

Huo Tingdong looked down at her, "Would you like me to take off my clothes for Ms. Shen to examine the wound?"

“Enough, enough,” Qin Yuezhi impatiently said. “Let’s just forget about it. You better let me go.”

At that time, seeing Shen Wanci leave, she was imprisoned by Huo Tingdong and couldn't break free. In a hurry, she bit his wrist. At that time, she just wanted to get rid of him quickly and chase after Shen Wanci, without paying attention, she accidentally bit through the skin on his wrist.

Huo Tingdong flipped her hand behind her back, directly pulling her into his arms.

Qin Yue's face was accidentally scratched by his fingernails, and it hurt a little. She felt anxious in her heart, unable to break free, so she turned her gaze to the man's chest as he leaned closer.

The man said lightly, "I can let you go, but Miss Shen asked me to watch you and make sure you don't run around. So you can't leave before she comes to pick you up."

Qin Yue was annoyed. Did he think of himself as a criminal?

She suddenly jumped up from the sofa, angrily spitting out: “She’s completely consumed by Bo Jingzhou right now, who has time to come and redeem me? Besides, everyone is rescued already, where can I possibly run off to? You won't let me leave, so where am I supposed to sleep tonight? I can't possibly sleep in your bed!”
