Song Kai Cheng finished speaking, raised his hand, and turned to leave with large strides.
The man in black then retreated from the hall.
Shen Xi ran downstairs along the staircase, crying, and kept calling out Qin Si Ye’s name.
“Qin Si Ye, Qin Si Ye, how are you?”
She fell to her knees before him with a plop, anxiously examining his bleeding right leg.
“It’s nothing. I won’t die,” Qin Si Ye dropped the knife in his hand and cupped her face with both hands, replying with a smile.
Shen Xi flung her arms around his neck and suddenly burst into tears, “Qin Si Ye, you… why are you so foolish? Who stabs themselves with a knife… stabs themselves?”
Putting his arm around her waist, Qin Si Ye’s lips curved into a smile, “For you, I can do anything.”
At this moment, the hall door was pushed open, and over a dozen black-clad bodyguards rushed in from outside.
One of them asked, “Mr. Qin, are you alright?”
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi hastily let go of Qin Si Ye and shyly stepped back.
“I’m fine,” Qin Si Ye said, then stood up, intending to get to his feet.
The man quickly stepped forward and, together with Shen Xi, helped him into Qin Si Ye’s car.
Qin Si Ye handed the keys to the man, saying, “Zeng Jian, drive the car back to my residence.”
“Don’t go anywhere, go straight to the hospital,” Shen Xi, sitting beside him, sternly stopped him.
“Xi Xi, I don’t want to go to the hospital. Come home, and you can help me with it, alright?” Qin Si Ye grabbed her small hand, his voice almost pleading.
He hated going to the hospital the most, and he might have to be hospitalized if he went.
“No. You’ve been too harsh on yourself, and I can’t help you. You must get treated at the hospital.” Shen Xi glared at him lightly and said to the driver in front, “Zeng Jian, drive directly to the best hospital here.”
“Yes.” Zeng Jian, seeing that Qin Si Ye’s pants were already stained with a large patch of red, also felt that it was necessary to go to the hospital and quickly agreed.
Then, he started the car and sped towards the hospital.
A hint of disappointment flickered in Qin Si Ye’s eyes.
Why didn’t his feigned weakness work today?
Shen Xi lowered her head and looked at his left leg, gently tearing open his pants a little around the wound. She saw blood continuously flowing from the cut.
She looked around, wanting to give him some basic first aid. She should have a band-aid in her bag.
Only then did she remember that her bag was still with Brother Kai Cheng.
“Do you have any bandages or band-aids in this car?”
“Probably not. Don’t worry about it for now, I can handle it,” Qin Si Ye replied nonchalantly.
“How can we not worry about it? If you lose too much blood, or if it gets infected and causes muscle necrosis, your leg might be crippled.” Shen Xi glanced at him and continued searching back and forth in the car.
At that moment, Zeng Jian in the front found a roll of gauze from somewhere and handed it to her, “Dr. Shen, can this be used?”
Shen Xi took it with a look of joy, examined it, and said, “Yes. Thank you.”
After saying that, she quickly bandaged Qin Si Ye’s wound.
Qin Si Ye watched her earnest expression, the corner of his lips turning up slightly.
The scene of Shen Xi whispering in Song Kai Cheng’s ear suddenly flashed before his eyes, and he couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Xi Xi, what did you say to Song Kai Cheng at the end? Why did he leave so suddenly?”
Shen Xi’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flickered a few times as she vaguely replied, “Nothing much. I just told him that if he forced you to stab yourself again, I would never forgive him. I wouldn’t even recognize him as my brother.”
“Is that really all?” Qin Si Ye stared at her intently, his expression filled with suspicion.
“Yes. Otherwise, what do you think I would have said to him?” Shen Xi stopped what she was doing and retorted.
Qin Si Ye, half-believing, half-doubting, held her hand and asked, “Since it was just a few ordinary words, why couldn’t you say it in front of everyone?”
Shen Xi gently pulled her hand away and looked at the man in front of her with a serious expression, “I was threatening him when I said that. Brother Kai Cheng is a man who values his pride.
If I had said those words in front of his subordinates, wouldn’t that have made him lose face and put him in a difficult position?
So, it’s better to tell him privately for a better effect.”
At this moment, Zeng Jian suddenly received a call and then asked Qin Si Ye, “Mr. Qin, we encountered those four people on the roadside. Two have been confirmed dead, and the other two are on the verge of death. How should we handle them?”
