Chapter 1825
There was no point in taking the bull by the horns at a time like this, we had to think of another way.
I’ve been here too long, if I don’t leave I’ll be noticed by Zhao Shuang and Gao Ye’s people, so I have to go back first.”
With that, I got up and headed out, Fu Shen Yan followed two steps, “Let Chen Yi drive you back.”
“No, I came with Miller.”
Smiling, I refused Fu Shen Yan’s arrangement, I stood on tiptoe and dropped a sloppy kiss on the corner of his lips, then turned around, pulled open the office door and walked out.
The second before I stepped into the lift, I could still clearly see in my afterglow that Fu Shen Yan’s deep, melancholy gaze was following me.
When I bent over and got into the car, I immediately instructed Miller to drive, “Make a circuit.”
The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a good deal on a lot of things.
……
Five minutes later, the car stopped at Fu’s again.
This time, however, Miller deliberately chose the blind spot in the view of Fu’s front door, turning off the lights and hiding in the darkness, so that from our position, we could clearly see the people coming in and out of Fu’s, and the people going in and out could not detect our presence.
As soon as the car stopped, I rolled down the window and stared intently at the revolving glass door.
Miller, probably bored by the trick of following her husband, lit herself a long, thin cigarette and put one hand on the car door, swallowing the clouds, the word unconventional on display.
A woman who does not smoke is carmine, while a woman who smokes is a mandarin, cold inside, like a lingzhi.
I subconsciously glanced at her and the faint smell of tobacco blew my way in the night breeze, causing me to cough lightly and unconsciously raise my hand to block it from my nose.
Miller didn’t say a word, taking a last sharp drag, then flicking the half-burned cigarette out of his hand and rolling up the window.
“It’s okay.” It was a bit much to ask her to take care of my feelings.
After all, even though we were employed, we were equals in life, and there was no need to do things the way I liked them all the time.
Miller inclined her head over to look at me, her deep eyes looked like they had been dipped in ink, and against the darkness, they looked even more mysterious and permeated with danger, but her eyes were quizzical, “Experience has taught me that women who have seen the world should only love themselves, and you are an exception.”
With a somewhat flirtatious tone, it was easy to see that she, the number one mercenary, was extremely dismissive of the surveillance we were doing at the moment.
Indeed, to be at the office in the middle of the night, checking on the company and spying on her husband with her bodyguard, anyone would think that Fu Shenyan was having second thoughts.
The mercenaries, who have been in the business for a long time, are naturally free from all emotions and desires, and Miller, in particular, is one of the best of them, so he naturally doesn’t care.
Now that I’ve opened a law firm and have the help of the Shen and Mo families, I’m a woman of the world, and from Miller’s point of view, I should be living for myself, but what she sees is an image of an abandoned woman who has put her to great use in order to catch her husband in the act.
Opening my mouth, I was about to explain, when I caught a glimpse of Fu Shenyan and Chen Yi walking out of the glass door across the road, one after the other, with Fu Shenyan, obviously half-bent over.
The two men were in a hurry and soon got into their car and fired up the engine to leave.
Chapter1826
“Keep up.” I couldn’t care less, I said at once.
She was a skilled driver and the city was well lit, so even without her headlights on, she kept a close distance from Fu’s car.
Soon, Fu Shen Yan’s car turned into a hospital with the signboard “Hospital”.
This sign and facade was not unfamiliar, it was the hospital where Zhao Shuang was located, the background of tonight’s hot pictures.
“Drive in?” Miller asked.
“No need.” I thought for a moment, grabbed my handbag and got out, “Wait for me here.”
The hospital was surprisingly quiet at this time of day, and I barely saw anyone all the way in. I almost jogged for fear of losing them, but luckily for me, Fu Shen Yan wasn’t walking too fast and chased them to the lift entrance just as they were going in.
I paused in place for two seconds to make sure the lift doors were closed before I walked over and looked up to see the floor they had stopped on.
The inpatient department was on the third floor, so if Fu Shenyan had come to see Zhao Shuang, he would have stopped there. However, the lift was heading downwards, to the underground car park and below the negative first floor, which is normally where the hospital uses to store medication and is not easily open to the public.
With a stomach full of curiosity, the lift finally stopped at the negative third floor, and before I ran into Fu Shenyan, I stepped into the next lift and pressed the appropriate floor.
“Ding…”
The lift doors opened and there was a long corridor of cool lighting and the smell of disinfectant water was strong, so it looked like it had been disinfected.
I tiptoed out and followed the direction of the corridor, turned two corners and finally, saw Chen Yi, standing coldly in front of a door, he didn’t notice me as he had deliberately lightened his steps, and I ducked behind a wall the moment I saw him, so it was all good.
Leaning close to the wall, I adjusted my breathing as quickly as I could. There was no one else but Fu Shenyan who had allowed Chen Yi to personally escort me.
Fu Shenyin had said that the medical team developing the antidote was in this hospital, and he had been out of touch for another full forty minutes after his perverse display of difficulty this evening.
“…… The finished product has been made and will be ready for you to use immediately after the clinical trials.”
“Mr. Fu, you can start now ……”
The words from the night before kept repeating in my head, my whole heart felt like it was being seized by something, uneasiness and trepidation assaulted me from all four limbs.
Clenching my fists, I took a sharp breath before calming myself down.
Gathering my emotions and clothes, I turned towards Chen Yi and the door behind him.
The sound of high heels carried through the corridor and the bodyguards looked towards me in unison, and almost immediately, Chen Yi stepped forward with a few of the other bodyguards to block the way.
“Madam, what are you doing here?” Chen Yi said, “I’m sending you back.”
As he said this, the men behind him were about to come up and “invite” me out.
But I didn’t move, and if my eyes could kill, I would have killed them all by now.
Chen Yi’s men knew who I was, and sensing that the atmosphere was not right, their outstretched hands froze in the air for two seconds, then withdrew resentfully.
I looked at Chen Yi and spoke in a cold voice, “You still want to stop me?”
Chen Yi looked embarrassed and couldn’t answer the question.
Such a reaction made me even more certain that Fu Shen Yan was in there and was by no means doing anything easy.
Gritting my teeth, I lifted my feet and walked past Chen Yi and the crowd of bodyguards to the door and pressed the handle.
I was about to push the door and barge in when Chen Yi’s voice suddenly came from behind me, “Madam!”
Almost reflexively, I turned my face and was greeted with a hand slash, which I was unable to dodge and lost consciousness instantly.
When I woke up again, there was the familiar crystal chandelier of the Shen family in front of me.
There was no one else in the room, it was so quiet that I could hear the birds chirping outside the window, and even though the curtains were drawn, the sunlight was still filtering in and it was a little blinding.
I struggled to sit up, but there was a tearing pain in my neck, which caused me to suck in a breath of cold air and reach out to hold the back of my neck.
