Chapter 2303
The cold light from the incandescent lamp hit him from top to bottom, and the shadows covered his eyes, making them appear darker and darker, but his whole face was calm, completely devoid of the panic of being pierced, not retorting or explaining.
I don’t know what he was thinking about, but it was clear that the fake plea for death was having some effect.
After a long time, I could barely contain myself and was on the verge of passing out when Murong finally reacted.
He came over to me and gently squeezed my forehead with one hand, to help me up, “Get up first.”
He kept his voice very low, as if he was afraid of disturbing me.
It was then that I opened my eyes fully, looking at him warily like a rabbit that had fallen into a trap, not intending to obey his orders.
Murong Zhuan exhaled Avray, his eyes complicated and helpless, “He’s not dead, I’m just playing a joke with you.”
“It’s not funny.” I gave him a fierce slant and took advantage of the situation to shake off the cold hand, staggering to my feet, holding onto the cupboard and sitting back down on the bed.
Murong stood silently watching, and when I sat down, he walked out of the ward again.
It didn’t take long for a nurse to come in and treat the wound on my forehead.
I asked the nurse a few questions, but luckily, I was already back in the capital and there was no one outside to keep an eye on me at all times, so I was relatively free.
After the nurse left, I contacted Shen Yu first.
He answered in almost seconds, “Thank goodness you finally bothered to call back, Zhi’an said that Murong Zhuan took you away, is everything okay?”
During the day of the coma, almost all the missed calls came from Shen Yu’s number, which seemed to worry him a lot.
“I’m fine.” I glanced sideways at the injury on my shoulder and said faintly, “How are they doing, Zhi’an?”
They should be very disappointed now that they have gone back on their word to the child, despite repeated assurances.
“What can they do? They’ve all come to me. Sang Yun, you don’t know, is a good coaxer of children, and has taken An Xin and Dot to play with them. Shen Yu half-jokingly said.
I pursed my lips and smiled, “That’s not bad.”
If all I remembered all the time was the sad part, I would rather they were carefree and it was okay not to remember.
“Just keep your mouth shut, when are you coming back?” Shen Yu asked.
“There’s still something going on, it might take a few days.” He was so smart, going back with his injuries would just add to his worries, so he might as well stay out there for a while to recuperate first.
Worried about what he might hear, I hurriedly changed the subject, “I’m looking for you for something else, I seem to have found Murong Zhuan’s lair.”
Shen Yu immediately became serious, “Where are you now?”
My heart mentioned, did he find out I was at the hospital.
“On an island.” I whispered.
“Which island? Domestic or foreign?” Shen Yu wouldn’t relent.
I sighed in relief and said, “I just don’t know which island it is that’s why I’m asking you for help, Murong Zhuan has already taken me to his drug making factory, it’s basically certain that this is his money empire, destroy this place and it will be much easier for us to deal with him.”
“Stop it.” Shen Yu’s voice suddenly went cold.
At this moment, I was like grabbing a lifeline, where I was willing to stop, “No, you listen to me, it is indeed difficult to do this, but we can find Zuo ……”
“I told you to stop talking!” The first thing I did was to get a new one.
I don’t want to see you again without a whole corpse, the future is long, you come back first, we will slowly solve this matter, until then, no matter what you tell me, I will pretend not to hear.”

I was so blocked by him that I could only agree for the time being, “Alright, then I’ll trouble you to watch Zhian and the others for a few days.”
“It’s quite troublesome.” Shen Yu said in a serious manner, “So you’d better come back quickly and pick them up.”
I smiled and nodded in agreement, “Yes, I’ll be back as soon as I’m done, I won’t delay a moment.”
“Be careful.”
“I will.” With that, I hung up the phone.
The sky outside the window was overcast and I couldn’t tell what time it was, so I turned on my phone and looked at it a couple more times.
It was ten forty in the morning.
If I counted, I should have slept for a day and a night, and I wondered how things were going with Fu Shenyan and Chen Yi.
The fact that Murong doesn’t want me to die means that I already carry some weight for him. This is my bargaining chip, and with a bottom card, I won’t be passive all the time when I face Murong again in the future.
In fact, a man like him would not love people at all, he was just unwilling to lose.
If I die, he will have no chance to compete with Fu Shenyan, and will always be a loser.
I can’t die, but I have to make Murong Zhuan feel that I’m not afraid of death, so that he will have some scruples.
The last thing I needed was time to recuperate in the hospital. Taking advantage of the gap in Murong Zhuan’s absence, I searched for the approximate location of the island from my memory.
Unfortunately, after zooming in on the map, there were countless surrounding islands, and with only my meagre sense of direction, I couldn’t pinpoint exactly which one it was.
This was probably the reason why Murong had chosen it as a factory, so that if the surrounding islands were searched by the police, they would be able to receive information in time to respond.
It was close to noon when the door to the ward opened again and Murong Zhuan came in carrying a thermos box, looking, again, intent on seeking consideration with the image of a good family man.
There were six dishes in total, four dishes, one soup and a dessert, which was a generous meal for a sick person.
Murong Zhuan was silent as he set up the lunch box, took the bowls and chopsticks and placed them in front of me before speaking unhurriedly, “Eat.”
I swept my head down and looked at him coldly again, stubbornly refusing to move my chopsticks and deliberately making things difficult, “I have a gunshot wound in my shoulder and my head is dizzy, how can I eat by myself?”
Mu Rong Zheng raised his eyes and stared at my forehead, turning around and going out to call someone, “I’ll go get the nurse.”
He didn’t take two steps, but then suddenly stopped and froze in place for two seconds before turning back, picking up the bowl and chopsticks with ease and bringing a piece of peas to my mouth, his voice extremely soft, “Open your mouth.”
I subconsciously drew my neck back and hesitated for a moment before reluctantly opening my mouth, biting into the edge of the pea and passing it, section by section, into my mouth to chew.
I couldn’t help but feel the food heal, and I couldn’t help but see it light up; not to mention, it was quite tasty.
But on the surface I acted very normal, even a little provocative and deliberately demonic, “You made this? It’s still worse than what Fu Shen Yan made, barely edible.”
Murong Zhuan’s face did not change as he chucked another piece of meat into my mouth before saying slowly, “This is what Fu Shen Yan made.”
“……” I almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, don’t play like that.
“Afraid you wouldn’t eat it, gave some favors in exchange for him making this meal himself.” I was flattered by the way Murong was concentrating on adjusting the angle of his chopsticks, as if feeding me was a big deal and couldn’t be done in the slightest.
“What’s the benefit?” I asked as I ate, Fu Shen Yan was familiar with my taste, no wonder it tasted moderately salty.
