Wu Mei saw Yin Xi looking at her without speaking and added, "Miss Yin, I… I didn't say anything."
"Okay. The ambulance will be here soon, hang in there." Yin Xi's lips pulled into a slight smile as she turned and walked towards the main gate.
In the lobby, Zhao Ze had just hung up the emergency call when his phone rang again.
Seeing it was Qin Si Ye, he answered immediately.
"Hello? President."
"I want Jin Zhan Hao's right arm. You know what to do," Qin Si Ye's fierce voice came through the phone.
His eyes widened slightly, and Zhao Ze immediately replied, "I understand."
When Yin Xi ran outside, Qin Si Ye was just putting away his phone.
"Si Ye, are you angry?" Yin Xi walked towards him quickly and asked in a low voice.
From the moment he had saved her, she had noticed that the man's expression was not good.
"What do you think? What did you promise me a few days ago?" Qin Si Ye turned back, looking at her with cold eyes.
"I… I promised you I wouldn't meet with Jin Jing Chen alone, and I wouldn't interfere in their family affairs." Yin Xi's voice was initially low, but she suddenly found her reason and her voice grew louder.
"But the situation was urgent, and Wu Mei suddenly disappeared. I just wanted to help Jin Jing Chen find her quickly. Wu Mei is the biological sister of Butler Wu, and she agreed to tell the truth about the drugging because she trusted me. I couldn't just watch her get into trouble."
"So you disregarded your own safety and walked right into someone else's trap?" Qin Si Ye glared at her, his eyes filled with anger. "Aren't you usually quite sharp? Didn't you consider that Wu Mei's disappearance wasn't an accident, but deliberate?"
"I did consider that. I was preparing to go to the steamed bun shop with Jin Jing Chen to take a look. If there were no new discoveries, we would call the police. Who knew he…" Yin Xi looked at him with tear-filled eyes, her gaze brimming with grievance.
A slight pang of pain in his chest, Qin Si Ye couldn't help but feel a touch of guilt. This was also his oversight; he thought the matter was over and hadn't sent bodyguards to follow her. He never expected Jin Zhan Hao to resort to such measures. However, when he thought about how Yin Xi had been investigating the truth side-by-side with Jin Jing Chen, helping each other and experiencing life-and-death trials together, an inexplicable sourness rose in his heart. He remained silent, abruptly turning his back to her.
Seeing this, Yin Xi panicked and took two steps forward, hugging his waist from behind. She apologized with a choked voice, "Si Ye, I'm sorry. I made you worry. I will never do anything like this again."
Qin Si Ye's body stiffened. He closed his eyes gently, calmly feeling the warmth emanating from behind him.
The next moment, Yin Xi suddenly let go of him. Looking at the sticky red blood on her hands, her body trembled, and she quickly walked to him. She saw that his white shirt at the waist was already stained red, and her eyes widened in shock, immediately turning red.
"Si Ye, you… you were injured just now?"
Qin Si Ye looked down, quickly pulled his jacket tighter, and replied softly, "No."
"Then where did this blood come from? Let me see quickly." As Yin Xi spoke, she tried to unbutton his shirt to check.
Qin Si Ye, however, instinctively took a step back. "It's nothing, just a small injury."
Yin Xi stared at him, her eyes instantly filling with tears. "Were you injured abroad? Qin Si Ye, you lied to me?"
Qin Si Ye did not respond, only saying after a long pause, "I was afraid you would worry."
Thinking that he had come all the way to save her with injuries, rushing back to K City as soon as he returned, the tears in Yin Xi's eyes instantly slid down. Apology and heartache surged in her heart, drowning out the slight anger that had just surfaced. She immediately stepped forward to support him, her voice gentle, "Don't talk, let's get in the car first. I'll check on you."
Sitting in the back seat of the black Rolls-Royce, Yin Xi slowly unbuttoned his shirt and found that the newly bandaged gauze inside was almost soaked with fresh blood. She knew he must have injured his wound again during the fight just now. Her hands trembled as she suppressed the tears in her eyes, preventing them from falling. She said loudly to the driver in front, "Quick, drive, to the hospital."
"Yes." The driver immediately started the engine and then asked, "Miss Yin, which hospital?"
Yin Xi thought for a moment and replied, "First People's Hospital." She had wanted to say "An Kang," but she felt that too many people there knew Qin Si Ye, and if it got out, it would affect him negatively.
Qin Si Ye endured the pain, his gaze deep as he looked at her, quietly accepting all her arrangements.
