"Big brother, there's some delicious food today!"

A seven- or eight-year-old girl came running with her hands tightly to her chest. She looked as she was holding something valuable in her palm.

The wounded boy raised his head, and a gentle smile flashed across his immature face. "Shanshan!"

"Eat quickly!" The little girl reached out her hand, inside of which was a white, fat, steamed stuffed bun. "It's meat! Meat!" The little girl's eyebrows were curved and she looked like she would certainly be a beauty when she grew up.

Shen Xinglan took the steamed stuffed bun and tried to break it, but Shanshan stopped him. "I have already eaten it! This was left secretly for you." After saying that, she put down her small backpack and took a medicine kit out from inside.

"Eat quickly and I'll dress your wound."

The steamed stuffed bun was very fragrant, and as Shen Xinglan bit into it a few times, his entire body was immersed in the aroma. There seemed to be more foggy smoke in front of him. He looked sideways at the little girl, who was concentrating on treating his wounds, and suddenly found that her face had changed.

"Who... are you?" Shen Xinglan felt empty in his heart.

The little girl blinked. "Shen Xinglan, why don't you remember me? I am A Miao!"

"A Miao... A Miao..." Shen Xinglan murmured. In his empty heart, there was suddenly a sharp pain, tearing his mind and splitting his lungs, a feeling that made him unable to stop from crying out, and then his sight became pitch-black.

"Le Yi! Le Yi! Boss moved, Boss moved!" Shen I shouted excitedly at the door, and almost at the same time, Le Yi rushed in.

As Shen Xinglan was lying on the bed with a trembling body, Le Yi quickly began to check him over, trying to pull open his eyelids. Suddenly, he saw a pair of dark eyes.

"Shen!" Le Yi's excited tone changed. "You're awake!"

Upon receiving the news, everyone came one after another to surround his sickbed and stare at the man who had just woken up.

"How long did I sleep..." Shen Xinglan leaned against the head of the bed and spoke in a quiet voice.

Le Yi was at his side, busy examining him. Then Shen I wept and said, "It's been almost three months, Boss... You're finally awake!"

"It's good that you've woken up. I've been suffocating at the company." Ouyang Jin gave Shen Xinglan a pat on the back, making he cough a few times. Le Yi gave him a contemptuous look.

"No offense, can he be hit now?"

"I'm fine," said Shen Xinglan with a wave.

"Alright, everything looks normal now." Le Yi breathed a sigh of relief. "I'll arrange for you to have a thorough examination before I'll feel completely at ease." Then he hurried away.

He Shishi wanted to say something, but she saw Ouyang Jin make a face at her, so she pursed her lips and swallowed her words back.

"It's a good time for you to wake up!" Ouyang Jin smiled. "In a few days, it will be the Asian King of Gambler Invitational. I am still hesitating about whether to go or not. Now I can go at ease."


Shen Xinglan nodded. "Go ahead."

Ouyang Jin did not say much more and took He Shishi away. Entering the elevator, He Shishi glared at him. "Why didn't you let me ask him?"

"Let you ask what? About A Miao?" Ouyang Jin said grumpily, "Shen just woke up. What if you cause him to pass out?"

He Shishi let out a cry. "Is it useful to avoid it? He still has to ask later."

"So let's go quickly." Ouyang Jin glanced at her. "I don't know how to tell Shen, whoever loves to talk to him, feel free to do that."

Inside the ward inside were only Shen Xinglan, Shen I, and Shen II.

"Shen I." His eyes suddenly became sharp.

Shen I was scared and stuttered, "B-B-Boss, I'm here!"

"Go to the orphanage where Shanshan lived and carefully check it again. Don't spare any detail." Shen Xinglan looked at him and asked, "Do you understand?"

Shen I and Shen II looked at each other and Shen II responded quickly, "Boss, do you suspect..."

"A Miao has no enemies; no one would hire a killer to kill her."

If anyone really hated her, it could only be Ji Xue or Bai Lu. But that was before, and Shen Xinglan's status in City S was now that of a poor man who had been driven out of his house. They could not be against A Miao.

Another one was Lil Xi, but he had also been ruled out.

So there was still another one...

"Precisely, Shanshan." Shen Xinglan's eyes were like the bottom of the sea on a dark night, with no color in them. "Check it out, I want to know whether she is an imposter or not!"

Shen I's eyes became bright. "Yes, Boss, don't worry. I won't come back until I find something!"

"Wait a minute." Shen Xinglan stopped him. "Don't let anyone know who you are."

"Don't worry, Boss!"

Le Yi passed by him. "Where is he going in such a hurry?"

"Go back to the company and tell them to hold a meeting next Monday."

Shen II nodded and turned around to leave.

"The Shen Xinglan I know is back!" Le Yi looked at him thoughtfully. "You almost scared me to death a few months ago."

"I heard everything you said," said Shen Xinglan with a sullen face.

"Then how could you sleep so long?" Le Yi laughed. "I thought you gave up!"

"If you're not dead, how could you give up?" Shen Xinglan had a nefarious expression. "Do you have any news about A Miao?"

Le Yi shook his head. "I knew you would ask that when you woke up. Ding V is keeping an eye out over there!"

Soon after they left Country R, A Miao woke up.

"But he never did see her appearance. Ding V saw someone take women's dresses to Jiang Quanyu's house. I guess she must've woken up."

"Do you know how I felt when I saw her lying there?" Shen Xinglan shook his fist.

"I can guess." Le Yi sighed. "Otherwise, you wouldn't have been shot."

"No, you don't understand." Shen Xinglan shook his head. "I didn't believe that A Miao was dead at that time. I didn't believe that she would leave me."

When he saw A Miao lying in the coffin, Shen Xinglan knew that Jiang Quanyu had planned it. His despair and unwillingness came from his inability to do anything, and from the fact that he had caused all this to happen to A Miao.

"He will regret it." Shen Xinglan suddenly smiled. "He'll regret not killing me."

Le Yi was obviously glad to see his arrogance. "Now what should we do?"

"I've sent Shen I to investigate Shanshan's orphanage." Shen Xinglan saw Le Yi's look of surprise, and his eyes flashed. "Lil Xi would not lie to me, then the only explanation is that there is something wrong with Shanshan."

"You..." Le Yi did not expect him to wake up and came up with this. "Do you suspect that the man who went to kill A Miao was taken on by Shanshan? By the way, we found the killer that day, but..."

Le Yi said, "He was eliminated."

"As expected." Shen Xinglan seemed not surprised at all. "I'll send someone from our camp to keep a close eye on Shanshan."

"What about Lil Xi?" Le Yi had a headache. "You know that guy..."

Shen Xinglan scowled. "I won't tell him, but I'll have someone protect him."

"If there is a problem with that Shanshan, then Lil Xi is not safe with her." Le Yi reminded him, "But they'll learn about the news of your awakening and come to see you right away."

"It's all business as usual," Shen Xinglan lay down, "until there is any evidence."

As Le Yi had said, the next night, Lil Xi and Shanshan arrived.

"Brother Xinglan!" Shanshan jumped to the front of the bed. "Great! Great!" She was sobbing. "You are awake at last!"

Lil Xi stood at the back and looked at Shen Xinglan. He turned his head and snorted, "Shanshan prayed for you every day. If you didn't wake up, she would have become ill."

"Really?" Shen Xinglan said faintly, "It looks like you've lost weight."

"No!" Shanshan wiped her tears. "Don't listen to Lil Xi's nonsense. I've gained so much weight because I eat and sleep well every day."

Lil Xi curled his lip and poked Shen Xinglan's leg. "When can you move?"

"What are you doing?" Le Yi had just come in. "His leg has to undergo several rehabilitative treatments. He hasn't moved for a long time after taking out the bullet. He can't stand up yet."

"You don't..."

"Lil Xi!" Shanshan interrupted him. "Can't you speak less?"

Shen Xinglan gave him a quick glance. "Say what you want to say."

"It's nothing." Lil Xi fell silent.

Shanshan and Lil Xi stayed there for several days, and Shen Xinglan had them leave on the weekend.

"You're not on vacation. Go back to school."

Lil Xi's eyes turned and he said, "Shen, do you think it is possible for Shanshan to come to school here now?"

Shen Xinglan took a look at Shanshan. She did not speak, but in her eyes, he could tell that she was obviously looking forward to it.

"No need to do that." He refused directly.

"How can this be unnecessary?" Lil Xi immediately said, "Now, anyway, A Miao..."

Shen Xinglan's eyes looked at him fiercely. Lil Xi did not dare to finish the words. He stamped his foot angrily. "Shanshan wants to take care of you. You are alone now..."

"No." Shen Xinglan said, looking at Shanshan again, "I don't need you to worry, just study well."

Shanshan nodded. "I... I know. Brother Xinglan, rest assured that I will study hard and go work in the company to help you when I finish my degree!"

On this day, the S Group executives gathered in the conference room on time. They all knew that the big bosses they barely saw before had come back. Before ten o'clock, they saw Shen III enter pushing in a wheelchair.

"Hello, Boss!" Everyone stood up and saluted.

Shen Xinglan nodded and motioned to Shen IV.

"This is the plan of our S Group for the next two years. Let's take a look." Shen IV passed the documents out to everyone.

Several senior executives were somewhat uncertain after reading it.

"Boss, are we really going to put all our investments in the domestic market?"

Another went on to say, "This means that the European market we are doing business in now will probably withdraw."

"No need to withdraw." Shen Xinglan ordered everyone the table. "Just slow down the pace."

Shen IV passed another document to everyone.

"This is the market analysis of City S in China." Shen Xinglan looked at them and continued, "Originally, my plan was to go back in five years, but now I can't wait, so it's three years! I want S Group to return strongly within three years."

After a pause, Shen Xinglan lifted the corners of his mouth. "If you can't do it, you can resign now."

...

It seemed to have been a long time in Northern Europe, but snow still covered the country. Inside a greenhouse under the snow, the fire in the fireplace occasionally crackled and a figure in an imperial concubine chair moved and sat up slowly.

"Sleeping again?"

Jiang Quanyu came in and asked with a smile.
