Shen I took A Miao from home to the hospital.
"Boss was injured and has gone to the hospital."
Shen Xinglan didn't want A Miao to see his bloody wound, and by the time the bullet was taken out, A Miao had just arrived.
"Slow down. I'm fine!" Shen Xinglan leaned against the bed with one arm wrapped with gauze and reached out the other uninjured.
A Miao grasped his hand, cried and stroked his wound. "Don't move. Have you got the bullet out?"
"Hm, rest assured." Shen Xinglan cuddled her with one arm and said, "Are you sleepy? Hold on, we will soon go home after the doctor brings me the medicine."
"Go home?" A Miao's face downcasted. "You are already hurt."
Shen Xinglan pinched her hand. "I'm fine. I will be well in a few days."
The doctor came in while they were talking.
"Director Shen! You're so lucky. The bullet nearly penetrated the bone."
A Miao instantly cried out. "That's what you mean FINE?"
"Relax. I am all right now." Shen Xinglan clung to her comfortingly. "The bullet has already been taken out."
But the doctor still kept on talking without noticing the atmosphere. "If the bullet had shifted a little more, you might have had the amputation!"
A Miao's hand began to shake with fear, and Shen Xinglan gave a grim look at the doctor.
The doctor shivered and said quickly, "It's fine now. Just go back and have a good rest. Here is your medicine." Not until he hurriedly left and stepped outside was he finally relieved.
"Huff, so scared!" The young doctor patted his chest and said, "Director Shen let us worse his case but he still shot a glare to me."
President of the hospital tapped his shoulder. "Boy, you are still young. Let's go to the meeting."
No matter what A Miao said, Shen Xinglan still insisted on recovering at home. A Miao was so nervous that she kept staring at his arms and even couldn't sleep at night.
"If you can't fall asleep, maybe we can do something." Shen Xinglan clung to her and said. The little woman kept moving and occasionally touched his arm.
A Miao immediately moved away cautiously from him and asked, "Did I just touch your wound?"
"I'm not so delicate." Shen Xinglan kissed her forehead. "If you are not sleepy, let's talk."
"No, the doctor said that you need to relax." A Miao closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Shen Xinglan poked her face and said, "Rest assured. Just for this time, Xiao Mei wouldn't have any chance to shoot again."
"I don't owe Jiang Hua anything." A Miao said, "He shot you..."
"You're wrong." Shen Xinglan coldly scoffed. "This is the second shot."
He frowned. "A Miao, he saved you once but also shot me twice. We are even now."
"I know that we will be at the opposite side for the bronze mirror and jade pendant sooner or later." A Miao signed. "Alright. Nobody shall feel guilty confronting next time."
Shen Xinglan was quietly complacent. He could have entirely escaped from that shot of Jiang Quanyu. But to relieve A Miao from too much guilt, he forced his arm to be shot.
He also let the doctor make his wound sound worse. Certainly, in case A Miao got worried, the doctor merely needed to explain it was dangerous only before the bullet was taken out.
"What do bronze mirror and jade pendant stand for? What does it have to do with me?" A Miao shivered. "I don't think it's over yet. Something even more devastating is in store for us."
Shen Xinglan frowned and held A Miao into his arms. "No matter what happens, we must be together. I won't let anything happen to you or our child..."
"Is this Miss Xiao Mei? We have received a report that allegedly you have illegal guns and trespassed with someone on private property last night. Here is the search warrant. Please cooperate with our investigation."
Early in the morning, the police came to Xiao Mei's villa. To her, that was a surprise but it wasn't unexpected.
"I have no gun, but only a pistol." Xiao Mei directly threw out her bag. "As for the trespassing, it's not me..."
The police got no good impression of such kind of princesses and they also did not know what the heck a Xiao family was.
"Then come with us!" The police brought Xiao Mei to the police station without hesitation.
At hearing this news, Jiang Quanyu immediately rushed to the police station with Xiao Yue, only to see protesters with banners and reporters around the gate.
"Punish the murderer!"
"Tell us the truth!"
"What is the big deal with foreign Chinese? How could she hurt people on our homeland?"
Jiang Quanyu tried so hard to squeeze into the crowd and asked the police with a seedy face, "What's wrong? What are those people outside?"
"Mr. Jiang, we are sorry to inform you that Xiao Mei cannot be released on bail now."
Xiao Yue picked her eyebrows and questioned, "Why? She does have a pistol, but that is because she just returned from abroad and didn't know any better. Confiscate the pistol and be done with it."
"Mr. Shen has provided us with the video footage, in which Xiao Mei indeed broke into his house with her gang yesterday and resulted in his severe wound." The police played them the video.
Jiang Quanyu was surprised. "How dare Shen Xinglan call the police? For he has not only guns but also lots of illegal stuff."
"Watch the video yourself!"
In the video, Xiao Mei led her people to break into Shen Xinglan's villa. Not only did she shoot but also hurt him.
"What happened?" Xiao Yue whispered, "Wasn't it you who shot at him?"
Jiang Quanyu was evasive. He frowned and shook his head. "I don't know either. Something fishy about this video."
"Then what should we do now..." Xiao Yue asked without any worrying. There was no doubt that the Xiao family would protect Xiao Mei but their dissatisfaction with her was another story.
Surely enough, Xiao Mei was released after Jiang Quanyu contacted the Xiao family.
"I am sure that she won't stay in custody for a long time." Shen Xinglan was not surprised at this message.
After the accident happened that night, Lil Xi contacted Shen II in Ding V's villa and told him all his plans. Shen Xinglan also added some details after that.
Lil Xi's plan was to doctor the video and erased the trace of the people of Shen Xinglan. Then, Shen Xinglan told him to replace Jiang Quanyu with Xiao Mei. The Xiao family would bail Xiao Mei beyond question and warned her to stay down. If so, at least that woman would not blatantly do anything anymore.
"Finally, you have done a serious business." Shen I tapped the shoulder of Lil Xi, who was looking at A Miao with eager eyes.
Shen Xinglan glanced at him and said, "Don't you leave?"
"I...I..." Lil Xi stammered and couldn't speak out, but sat still.
A Miao said nothing. When she noticed Lil Xi kept on staring at her, she didn't know how to respond, instead, dryly said thanks to Lil Xi.
"You're welcome!" Lil Xi hastily waved his hands and said, "This is what I should do! I will listen to Shen from now on, and I won't make any trouble."
Wei Meng came to see how Shen Xinglan was and sat beside A Miao gawking at her belly after knowing Shen Xinglan was all right.
"He does behave well recently." Wei Meng nodded while she observed that Lil Xi was about to swear on his life. "He even helps do the work at my house."
Ding V said agreeably, "It's a pity that he couldn't cook."
"Do you seriously take me as your servant?" Lil Xi shot him a glare and eagerly looked back at A Miao.
Shen Xinglan couldn't stand his flattering behaviors to A Miao. "I will protect A Miao, and why are you guys all gathering here?"
"Alright, leave now. Don't bother us."
In Jiang Quanyu's office.
Xiao Mei sat on the sofa with a cold face. She had just been scolded and warned by her grandfather to leave the country if it should happen again.
"I have told you that leave A Miao alone before we get the bronze mirror and jade pendant." Jiang Quanyu said sourly.
Because of Xiao Mei, his family also blamed him for not acting and commanded him to obtain the bronze mirror and jade pendant within three months.
"It doesn't make much sense to blame each other now." Xiao Yue served them tea and said, "We'd better consider how to achieve our goal at this moment."
Before Shen Xinglan was still not fully recovered, A Miao received a message of He Shishi's injury.
"Disfigured?"
A Miao trembled and dropped the freshly cooked edible bird's nest. Song Baohuai cleaned it up quickly and went cooking in the kitchen again.
"What... what happened? Where is she?"
Shen I took a look at Shen Xinglan. Shen Xinglan nodded, allowing him to speak.
"It was Chi Ling."
"Once again!" A Miao slapped the table and stood up. "Hurry! What the hell is going on?"
Shen Xinglan stretched out to support her. A Miao turned around and said, "Don't move!"
"Calm down. Let him finish."
Shen I said, "Chi Ling somehow had a quarrel with a general's daughter, who sent people to capture both Chi Ling and He Shishi. They made Ouyang choose between them and Ouyang..."
"And Ouyang chose to save Chi Ling." A Miao was shivering with fury. "What the fuck the kind of man he is?"
"In fact, everything was all right." Shen I continued, "They know He Shishi was somebody. It was just bluffing. Ouyang must have known it, so he let them take her."
"Then?"
"It was such a coincidence that the general's daughter, who was a bit of a handful, got knocked down by her enemy halfway."
The lighted gasoline burned He Shishi's face. The scar left on her face was not so serious but it was still devastating for a woman.
"Where is she now?" A Miao walked to and fro in the room. "I have to see her. We can't leave her alone."
"She had already left." Shen I replied, "Now no one can reach to her."
A Miao was anxious. "Where can she go with a burn? Do you try to find her?"
"I have given orders to them." Shen Xinglan held A Miao into his arms to prevent her from any injuries. "He Shishi is no ordinary girl. She won't rush into things and will choose the best for herself.
A Miao was flattered and nodded. "Right! She must have gone to cure her face."
A Miao couldn't feel at ease without the message from He Shishi. Half-a-month later, Shen Xinglan was removing the gauze while Shen I rushed in the room in a flurry.
"Boss! Boss! Bad news!"
Shen I's voice frightened A Miao. Her hand trembled and almost pulled the wound. A Miao patted her chest and shot him a glare. "What happened?"
"We have got an order..." Shen I stuttered, "The target is... is Ouyang."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Shen I took A Miao from home to the hospital.
"Boss was injured and has gone to the hospital."
Shen Xinglan didn't want A Miao to see his bloody wound, and by the time the bullet was taken out, A Miao had just arrived.
"Slow down. I'm fine!" Shen Xinglan leaned against the bed with one arm wrapped with gauze and reached out the other uninjured.
