Inside the hospital, A Miao and Ling Lang stood at the door of the ward.

"I've troubled you!" A Miao thanked her shyly.

Ling Lang motioned with her hand. "You're welcome, it wasn't much trouble." She looked at the ward. "She... she's the one from the newspaper?"

"Well, she's Shen Xinglan's sister." A Miao shrugged her shoulders.

Ling Lang nodded. "Then what went on today?"

"I don't know." A Miao frowned.

Before, she had been waiting for Shanshan in the sauna room. After she came in, they steamed together. Shanshan was very enthusiastic and told her about Shen Xinglan when he was a child. A Miao did not refuse, she also wanted to know what Shen Xinglan was like then.

So the two had a pleasant chat. Later on, A Miao went out first to go to the bathroom. After she had taken a bath and changed her clothes, she waited for a long time before Shanshan came out. Then she asked the attendant to take a look.

"You know everything after that."

Ling Lang knew the boss of the club, and when she went downstairs after their talk, she heard someone shouting that someone suffocated. When she entered, she saw A Miao beating anxiously against the glass door of the steam room.

"Get out of the way!" At that time, Ling Lang shouted that sentence, then picked up a chair next to the door, smashed it open, rushed in, and picked up the young lady.

Shanshan was already unconscious, and A Miao called an ambulance.

"I saw the door of the steam room afterward. It was locked from the outside and the lock cylinder was damaged, so it could not be opened." Ling Lang looked at A Miao meaningfully.

"What do you want to say?" A Miao's expression became solemn.

Ling Lang was interrupted by Shen Xinglan before she could speak.

"A Miao." He quickly went over to her. "Are you OK? How is Shanshan?"

A Miao shook her head. "I'm fine. Go in and see her, she just woke up."

Shen Xinglan carefully looked at her for a while and was sure she really was ok, then took a quick glance at Ling Lang.

"Thank you, I heard that you saved her. I owe you my gratitude."

Ling Lang bent the corners of her mouth. "I was looking after A Miao's sake. She was almost crying at that time."

Shen Xinglan took A Miao's hand and looked at her with a worried face. "Terrifying, wasn't it? Don't go to that place in the future, I'll get you one at home."

"Shen?" Lil Xi's voice came from ward inside, "is that you?"

A Miao hurriedly pushed him. "Go in!"

Only then did Shen Xinglan enter.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" A Miao saw Ling Lang's strange eyes staring at her.

Ling Lang smiled. "I am relieved to see Shen Xinglan's attitude towards you. At least... he will not suspect you."

Inside the ward, Shanshan was lying there pale, and upon seeing Shen Xinglan, tears began to flow down.


"Brother Xinglan... Boo-hoo..." she sobbed, "I thought I was going to die. If I died, I would never see you again."

Shen Xinglan did not hold her like last time, but sat on the bed and patted her hand.

"Don't talk nonsense, it's alright now."

Lil Xi looked pale as he stared at Shen Xinglan. "It's alright now? Do you know that if she had arrived a little later, Shanshan would have become a vegetable."

The steam room was too hot, and she could not breathe. Having a lack of oxygen for a long time would inevitably affect the cranial nerves.

"Shen, will you protect that woman this time?" Lil Xi's face was cold. "She locked Shanshan in."

Shen Xinglan's face sank. "Watch your words. A Miao would not do that."

"It's a private room, and no one else went there besides Shanshan." Lil Xi logically analyzed it. "She left under the pretext of locking Shanshan in and then informed the staff when the time was almost up.

"If that policeman had not been present today, Shanshan might have died."

Shen Xinglan gave Shanshan a look, and the latter shook her head with a delicate face. "I believe it was not sister A Miao. She would not do that to me. Besides, the lock cylinder is not easy to break!"

"Indeed, you don't know what she's capable of." Lil Xi laughed sarcastically. "I tell you, that woman..."

"Shut up." Shen Xinglan's eyes were cold and sharp, looking straight at Lil Xi.

Lil Xi pursed his lips, and the next second, cried out unconvinced, "She must have done it anyway. What do you think?"

"How do you know about things that the police have not decided yet?"

This sentence was not spoken by Shen Xinglan, but by Ling Lang, who had pushed the door open and came in. A Miao followed behind her, and Shen Xinglan rushed over to grab her.

"Do you have any proof that she didn't do it?" Lil Xi was very aggressive and did not put Ling Lang in his sightline.

Ling Lang threw a USB flash-drive at him. "My colleague copied it from the surveillance video. You can see for yourself!"

"What about it?" Lil Xi threw the flash drive on the ground. "Anyway, I believe she will hurt Shanshan."

It was the first time that he had framed her by pointing at her nose. A Miao stepped forward and said, "Why would I hurt her?"

"Because you are jealous!"

Lil Xi's words were reciprocated by a chuckle from A Miao. "And what am I jealous of?"

"You are jealous of Shen's kindness to her and are afraid that Shen does not want you."

This time, without waiting for A Miao to reply, Shen Xinglan said, "No one can match A Miao, and I will not treat anyone better than her."

Ling Lang smiled beside her. She had been observing Shanshan in her hospital bed. Besides seeing her look anxiously at Lil Xi, there was no other reaction.

"Lil Xi, stop it!" Shanshan urgently wanted to get out of bed, but Lil Xi held her down. "What are you doing? Lie down and don't move!"

Ling Lang turned to Shen Xinglan and said, "We have already filed a case on this matter. I have watched it. A Miao didn't go in after coming out. It was only when an employee informed her that she ran in."

Shen Xinglan nodded and glanced at Lil Xi with evil eyes. "Did you hear that?"

"Humph!" Lil Xi did not dare to make another sound, while Shanshan kept tugging at his sleeve.

Asking the doctor, Shanshan needed to stay in the hospital for two days for observation, so Lil Xi would naturally stay with her. Shen Xinglan asked Shen I to call a restaurant and order a meal, then he went back with A Miao.

"We will come to see you tomorrow, so have a good rest." When he left, he touched Shanshan's head, who smiled at him and did not forget to wave goodbye to A Miao.

Ling Lang hitched a ride with them and turned to ask A Miao when she got out of the elevator. "Will it be convenient for me to go up and find you tomorrow while I rest?"

"Sure," Shen Xinglan replied on behalf of A Miao. "I have something to do tomorrow morning, and A Miao will be at home alone."

The implication was that you could just come to keep her company.

"Fine." Ling Lang and A Miao looked at each other and smiled.

When they got home, they showered and Shen Xinglan held A Miao.

"Why don't you suspect me?" A Miao was in good spirits and allowed him to toss her around.

It was rare for her to cooperate so well. Shen Xinglan could not help biting her lips and grinding them gently. "I trust you."

"You trust me even with what you have seen?"

As Shen Xinglan turned over, A Miao let out a cry and was carried into his arms.

"Behave and ask after we finish!"

An hour later, A Miao lay motionless in his arms. "Even if I were to see something, I would definitely ask you first. Unless you say it yourself, I wouldn't believe anyone," said Shen Xinglan as he rubbed her back.

"That's good." A Miao hugged him. "The same goes for me. Unless one day you tell me that you don't love me, I'll deny it no matter what I see and I won't believe it!"

Shen Xinglan pinched her nose. "Although I am sorry for Shanshan, it is good to have you trust me so much."

A Miao was amused by him and then asked with a serious face, "What do you think about today?"

"There are two possibilities." Shen Xinglan sniffed her shoulder. "First, they were coming for me; and second, they were coming for you."

"If they were coming for you, it's better to hurt me."

Shen Xinglan kissed her and said, "Smart! We have not kept a low profile during this period of time. It has been reported on TV and in the newspapers. Anyone with eyes should know that you are my weak point."

"If they were coming for me, who would it be?" A Miao frowned. "To frame me, or to make you misunderstand me..."

Her eyes suddenly brightened. "Is it possible that it was Ji Xue or Bai Lu?"

"I've always had Shen II keep an eye on them. If Shen II doesn't report anything, it means that they haven't made any noise."

A Miao scratched her face. "Then I really can't guess."

"Why didn't you say that you suspect Lil Xi?" Shen Xinglan looked down at her. "After all, it seems that he is the most likely one now."

"He wouldn't do that." A Miao shook her head. "He hates me, but no matter how much he hates me, he would not sacrifice Shanshan to plot against me. He is really good to Shanshan."

Shen Xinglan lifted the corners of his mouth and took her into his arms. "Sleep, I'll send someone to check it out tomorrow."

"Didn't you give it to the police?"

"They are useless."

After Shen Xinglan went out, Ling Lang arrived.

"A gift!" She handed a cake to A Miao.

"The cheesecake from this restaurant is delicious!" said A Miao happily.

"I saw that you often buy it." Ling Lang took off her shoes and came in.

"Thank you!" A Miao took out a small plate and made two cups of milk tea. "Do you have something to say to me?"

Ling Lang gave her a quick look. "I told you earlier that you are very smart but always pretend to be dim-witted."

"That is not being smart," A Miao ate some cake, "it's women's intuition!"

"What do you think of that Shanshan?" Ling Lang got straight to the point.

A Miao froze, she did not expect what she had to say would have something to do with Shanshan.

"Well... the truth is not clear," she put down the cake, "because I can't get a neutral evaluation of her. After all, she and Shen Xinglan are not alike, so I..."

Ling Lang nodded. "I understand."

"Why did you come to ask about her?"

"Because I've always thought there was something wrong with that girl." Ling Lang shrugged her shoulders. "It may be an occupational disease."

A Miao smiled. "You can check her background, but I think there should be no problem."

She knew how important Shanshan was to Shen Xinglan. He just could not admit someone without an investigation.

"Since Shen Xinglan has acknowledged her, there should be no problem." Obviously, Ling Lang thought so as well, although she did not know about the matter between Shanshan and Shen Xinglan.

But in her opinion, men like Shen Xinglan could not be fooled by women.

"Who do you think did what happened yesterday?" Ling Lang changed the subject.

A Miao shook her head. "I really don't have a clue. Have you found out anything?"

"You have no suspicion about others? For example... Shanshan."
