Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 522: I love you
The crowd looked over to see the young woman seemingly stumble, nearly dropping the little meatball she was holding.
Auntie Li hurried over to support her, concerned, "Miss Jiayi, are you feeling unwell anywhere else?"
Xia Tingxuan was also anxious, "What’s wrong? Didn’t you say you were okay?"
If Jiayi was going to act, she’d make it big, rubbing her breastbone and biting her lower lip until it turned pale, "It may be because I choked on water, I am still feeling a bit uncomfortable."
Xia Tingxuan had heard on the way over from the Huo Family bodyguards roughly what had happened that morning; just hearing it was enough to leave her in a cold sweat from the fear after the fact, which was also the reason why she was even more infuriated with Huo Zhenyang!
It was to get back at him, to threaten him, that Yan Bin had kidnapped Zaizai and almost cost Jiayi her life!
Did Jiayi owe him something from a previous life? Four years ago, she had been toyed with by him, becoming a single mother with an illegitimate child, and four years later, she was nearly killed by his political opponents!
The moment she heard this, Xia Tingxuan dared not be careless, her attention shifted immediately, "Where else do you feel uncomfortable? I’ll call the doctor to come." And she accompanied Jiayi into the sick room.
Auntie Li hurried to call the doctor.
The attending physician, accompanied by a nurse, rushed over. After a checkup, no new issues were found. Frowning, he asked, "Miss Chu, when you were brought to the hospital today, all necessary examinations were done. Aside from being a bit shocked, there were no serious problems. Now...where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Doctor, I feel uncomfortable everywhere, why don’t you observe me for a few more days?" Jiayi stubbornly refused to get up, insisting on staying in the hospital to avoid going back to Disheng with this man. Although this method wouldn’t last long, the longer she could avoid it, the better.
With the patient so keen to stay, the attending physician had no choice but to glance at Huo Zhenyang, "Young Master Huo, why not let the patient stay in the hospital for observation then."
The moment this little woman lifted her behind, how could he not know what she was up to? Huo Zhenyang just sneered coldly, "Fine, if you like staying in the hospital, stay as long as you like. See how long you can stay. George, you and a few bodyguards stay at Renxin Hospital to protect Miss Chu."
With that, he turned and strode away toward the end of the corridor.
----
She stayed in Renxin Private Hospital for three days. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂
During these three days, Jiayi truly lived like a pig—eating, drinking, and watching television.
And then there were Xia Tingxuan and Zaizai visiting her every day. She would play with her son in the sickroom for a while, look at some picture books, and then see off Mommy and Zaizai.
She had been so closely protected by that man on the sea that day, it was not just that she hadn’t been hurt at all; even if she had been injured, she would have mostly recovered by now in this manner.
Jiayi pinched the little belly that was about to show, and couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
But it seemed she would have to continue living like a pig for a while longer.
The moment she was discharged, that man would force her and Zaizai to be taken to Disheng.
This was like a tug-of-war, and she couldn’t concede at the start!
Around noon, Jiayi was lying on the hospital bed watching TV on the wall. It had to be said, Yunling’s best private hospital was just like a seven-star hotel.
The TV was broadcasting the midday news, and a female anchor faced the camera, reporting the latest headline:
"The former deputy mayor of Yunling, Yan Bin, is wanted by the Yunling police for long-term collusion with the black/mafia Longding Society and for attempting to kill his competitors. After evading arrest for several months, he was captured today on a deserted island near the warehouse district. When Yan Bin was found, the reporter noticed he had multiple fractures, his Achilles tendon was cut, eardrums were perforated, and he was in a coma, seemingly subjected to extreme torture, which could lead to permanent disability. The three subordinates who fled with him were injured to varying degrees, yet all of them uniformly claimed not to know who had tortured Yan Bin... Currently, Yan Bin has been transferred to the police, and according to the current criminal law of China, he could be sentenced to life imprisonment or more..."
Yan Bin had been tortured to disability before his arrest?
Jiayi bounced up from the bed at once!
Without needing much thought, she knew who was responsible.
That day, after Yan Bin threw her into the sea, he seemed to have run towards the pre-arranged fishing boat, planning to flee to a nearby island.
The Huo Family’s bodyguards must have pursued Yan Bin and his group, but it wasn’t until today that Yan Bin was arrested by the police. Could it be that the Huo Family’s bodyguards took Yan Bin to a nearby island to torture him for two days before informing the police to apprehend him?
Multiples fractures, Achilles tendon cut, eardrum pierced, the entire person in a comatose state...
Just thinking about it, Jiayi gasped in shock. This man was truly ruthless, more cruel than killing someone, he wanted to make Yan Bin wish he were dead.
What kind of man had she, four years ago, gotten involved with...?
And to think, she had even given birth to a child for this man...
Suddenly, she felt that her courage to resist him was indeed a very brave thing.
The television news was still broadcasting, but Jiayi was no longer listening. She hugged her knees on the bed, deep in thought, when footsteps sounded outside the door.
Jiayi hurriedly turned off the television and slid down, burrowing into the blankets.
After all, she was pretending to be sick, she couldn’t let anyone see her looking too spirited, so every time someone came in, she had to put on an act.
These past few days, the Huo Family’s bodyguards had been pacing the hallway outside, guarding the entire ward as tightly as a sealed drum.
It was less about protecting her and more about surveilling her.
Every time there was the slightest noise inside, someone would immediately knock on the door to inquire.
However, as long as she didn’t think about escaping, the bodyguards were very accommodating to her other instructions, probably due to that man’s directives.
Her ward was a private room, part of the high-class VIP inpatient department, which was usually sparsely occupied. In the entire corridor, she was currently the only patient, so any footsteps outside were incredibly distinct.
Today was different, though. The footsteps outside suddenly stopped, followed by the sound of tugging and pulling, mixed with the voices of a man and a woman, as well as those of the Huo Family’s bodyguards.
"You can’t go in. This is a private room."
"We are Xiaoyi’s friends, why can’t we see her?"
"Xiaoyi is sick, do we not even have the right to visit her? Huo Zhenyang is still as overbearing and unreasonable as he was four years ago!"
"Enough, miss, if you continue to make a fuss like this, don’t blame us for being rude—"
"You try being rude and see! Do you know who I am?" came the young man’s voice, with his usual frivolity and arrogance.
"No matter who you are, our Boss has given us orders that we must obey. Please leave!" the bodyguard’s voice remained firm.
...
Jiayi’s heart skipped a beat, the man’s voice sounded familiar, it seemed to be—Shangguan Yao!
She couldn’t pretend any longer, she hurriedly jumped out of bed and with a bang, she opened the door.
Several of the Huo Family’s bodyguards looked over: "Miss Chu!"
"Xiaoyi!"
A young and handsome face came into view, it was indeed Shangguan Yao!
At the end of the hallway, several solemn men in black stood as well, their gaze vigilant, their build sturdy, watching Shangguan Yao closely, not daring to relax even slightly, they must be the close-protection bodyguards accompanying Shangguan Yao on his travels.
