An Yan whispered softly. Seeing that Murong Cheng did not react, she dared not say anything more and could only wait by the side.
When Zhao Shuyao arrived at the hospital, she saw this scene.
Murong Cheng stood outside the emergency room, his khaki suit almost entirely stained red.
It was terrifying.
"Murong Cheng! Where is my Shiyu baby! What did you do to her!"
If not for the disparity in strength between men and women, Zhao Shuyao would have loved to jump up and slap Murong Cheng!
"In just one month, her old injuries haven't healed, and she's back in the operating room. If you can't take good care of Shiyu, then don't marry her! You good-for-nothing!"
Zhao Shuyao's blood rushed to her head. Seeing the blood on Murong Cheng, she knew it was definitely not a small matter. She was so angry she almost lost control.
"Madam, please calm down. It wasn't our president who harmed Madam. Madam fell down the stairs..."
"Fell down?! Is my Shiyu baby not mentally sound? How could a normal person, even if they weren't steady, fall down the stairs and bleed so much!"
Hearing Zhao Shuyao's voice, Murong Cheng's icy, dark eyes moved slightly.
"Check the surveillance."
"President?" An Yan didn't hear clearly.
"Go and check the surveillance!"
"Yes! President!"
An Yan immediately turned and ran out.
Zhao Shuyao also sensed something was wrong. She sat down on the spot and opened the laptop in her backpack.
Fortunately, she carried her laptop with her, otherwise, she would have missed something.
Zhao Shuyao, in her haste, made several mistakes and took some time to hack into the surveillance system and successfully found the recordings from the banquet hall.
Just before they were deleted, she successfully exported all the surveillance footage from that night.
The surgery required almost the entire hospital's blood bank. Due to excessive blood loss, her body's blood had been almost completely replaced before she was miraculously saved. The surgery ended at six in the morning the next day, and all the chief surgeons were exhausted.
"The baby couldn't be saved. The adult's condition has stabilized, but she needs further observation. Please accept my condolences."
"Baby?" Zhao Shuyao thought she misheard when the doctor spoke. "What baby?"
"The adult was nearly four months pregnant! She had suffered trauma last time and was barely kept stable. With this incident, it was impossible to save, so please accept my condolences. You will have children after you recover!"
Zhao Shuyao looked at Murong Cheng, utterly shocked. "Shiyu was pregnant? You didn't tell her? It's good you didn't tell her! How heartbroken she would be if she knew her child was gone, and that it was killed by your stepmother!"
Murong Cheng had changed into a new set of clothes and wiped the blood from his hands. He stood at the hospital room door, hands in his pockets, looking through the glass at the girl on the hospital bed, covered in tubes. His brows were furrowed, as if weighed down by layers of dark clouds.
It was impossible to fathom what he was thinking.
When Qin Yusheng arrived at the hospital, he saw Zhao Shuyao standing next to Murong Cheng, her face flushed as she spoke, her emotions very agitated.
His expression darkened. He strode forward and directly pulled Zhao Shuyao behind him. "You disappeared for a night, what are you doing at the hospital?!"
"You're crazy! Qin Yusheng! Let go! I'm going to scold Murong Cheng to death!"
Zhao Shuyao was furious, her face flushed red to her neck from anger.
"That's enough, come home with me!" Seeing that he couldn't pull her, Qin Yusheng directly picked her up.
"Qin Yusheng!"
Zhao Shuyao was going mad. Her struggles were futile, and she was carried into the elevator by Qin Yusheng.
"Behave yourself." Qin Yusheng slapped Zhao Shuyao's backside. "You run to Murong Cheng's place every day. People will think Murong Cheng is your husband! What kind of behavior is that?!"
Zhao Shuyao bit her lip. "I'm not looking for Murong Cheng..."
Before she could finish, she thought of something and immediately fell silent.
Qin Yusheng didn't ask further, and they went down the elevator in silence.
When they got into the car, Qin Yusheng threw Zhao Shuyao into the back seat and stood outside the car door, looking at Zhao Shuyao coldly. "I still have some dignity, unlike you. It's best not to be seen in intimate contact with other men. If it gets to Grandpa's ears, it will be a disgrace to the Qin family!"
At any other time, Zhao Shuyao would have jumped up and cursed him. But today, she just fastened her seatbelt and remained silent.
This made Qin Yusheng feel as if he had punched into cotton.
As if wanting to vent something, he slammed the car door shut.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet on the way back to Tan Gong.
When they arrived at Tan Gong, Qin Yusheng stopped the car and glanced in the rearview mirror, only to find Zhao Shuyao asleep in the back seat.
She hadn't slept all night and hadn't rested at all. She had curled up in the back seat in a protective posture and was sleeping soundly.
Qin Yusheng narrowed his eyes, stared at her for a moment, then opened the car door and picked Zhao Shuyao up.
Perhaps she was too tired, as she showed no signs of waking up.
Zhao Shuyao slept until evening. When she woke up, her head was groggy, and her entire head felt like it wasn't her own.
She rubbed her temples and propped herself up with her arm.
The sun was setting, and the room was dimly lit. She reached out and turned on the light.
Dazed, she looked around and was shocked to find that this was Qin Yusheng's room!
Zhao Shuyao was so startled that she rolled off the bed in a hurry, not even bothering to put on her slippers, and walked barefoot towards the door.
At the doorway, a figure suddenly appeared.
Zhao Shuyao was so scared she almost cried out.
"Guilty conscience? Why are you so nervous?" Qin Yusheng's brow was furrowed as he looked down at Zhao Shuyao.
Zhao Shuyao patted her chest. "You scared me to death... No, why am I in your room? I didn't come into your room to sleep on purpose. The moment I opened my eyes, I was on your bed..."
Qin Yusheng hated it the most when she touched his things. Even a piece of paper, he would absolutely not touch anything she had touched.
Let alone sleeping in his bed, Qin Yusheng would have torn her to pieces!
Zhao Shuyao was so scared her heart was in her throat.
Her whole body even started to sweat.
Qin Yusheng's eyes were deep as he carefully looked at the girl in front of him.
Zhao Shuyao also held her breath, meeting the man's deep amber eyes.
In her heart, she was prepared to be humiliated by the man.
The man spoke, simply saying, "Am I that scary?"
Scary? More than scary?
Zhao Shuyao said, "Of course, you're not scary. How could you be scary? President Qin, you are handsome, dashing, and my admiration for you is like a never-ending river..."
Zhao Shuyao quickly started flattering him.
Qin Yusheng's expression became even more unpleasant.
Zhao Shuyao didn't know what was wrong with this man, why her flattery wasn't working.
Her eyes darted around, and she was about to change her approach to flattery.
Suddenly, she saw the man raise his hand.
