Liang Xinzhou was the first to react, immediately shouting to the group of security guards who had already run over but didn't know where to start, "Are you all just watching the show?! Aren't you going to help?!"
He said he would immediately go and pull Liang Shi away.
Liang Shi didn't dare to relax until the security guards had completely subdued the man.
It was rush hour, and the usually crowded elevator was now empty, with everyone staring at this spot.
After all of this was over, someone blinked and said, "Did I see that right?"
Was that acting just now?
"Are you crazy? Can't you see people are injured?"
"But her movements are so cool, just like filming a martial arts scene."
"If General Manager Liang hears this, you're finished."
"..."
The crowd whispered and discussed among themselves.
They all looked incredulous.
Liang Xinzhou immediately ordered a car to be prepared. He didn't even bother to deal with the person on the ground. After having his secretary call the police, he took Liang Shi to the hospital.
Liang Shi smiled subconsciously, "Big brother, it's alright."
Even though the pain in her shoulder was almost unbearable, she still didn't want anyone to worry about her.
Liang Xinzhou frowned and said coldly, "Don't speak."
Liang Shi followed behind him, looking as if he had done something wrong.
Just as she was leaving, she ran into Liang Xinhe, who was late.
Upon seeing so much blood on Liang Shi's shoulder, his expression immediately changed. "What happened?"
"It's nothing, it's nothing," Liang Shi said. "Let's go to the hospital first."
On the way to the hospital, Liang Shi sat in the middle of the back seat, with his two older brothers on either side of him.
Liang Xinzhou made a phone call to deal with the person from earlier and quickly found out the reason.
It was a company their family had invested in before. The legal representative of that company was addicted to gambling and almost turned the company into an empty shell. Fortunately, they discovered it in time and were able to recover their investment.
As a result, he became desperate and came directly to the company to retaliate against Liang Xinzhou.
Upon learning the reason, Liang Xinhe couldn't help but frown. "I've said it before, there's no need to invest in such a small company. They're all short-sighted guys. Even if we invested, it wouldn't be of much help to us."
“If I hadn’t invested in Haicheng Culture back then, I wouldn’t have so much working capital now,” Liang Xinzhou said. “There are pros and cons to everything; times have changed.”
Liang Xinhe sighed, "What if you encounter something like that? A slight mistake could kill someone."
"Second brother, I'm really fine." Liang Shi sat in the middle, trembling with fear, afraid that the two of them would start fighting. He whispered to try and calm them down, "Nobody knew that something like this would happen."
Upon hearing this, Liang Xinhe glanced at her and said, "Liang Shi, do you really think your fancy moves can kill someone? You really know how to fight back when things get tough."
Liang Shi: "..."
She instantly shrank into a quail.
“My brother has practiced fencing for ten years and Sanda for fifteen years. How is he not better than you? Do you think you have a chance to stand out? Have you lived too long?” Liang Xinhe poked her head. “Aren’t you afraid of dying?”
Liang Shi: "..."
//
Liang Shi felt extremely guilty the whole way.
When she arrived at the hospital, she found it was Zhao Xuning's hospital again. She suddenly remembered Zhao Xuning's words—Don't come, there are no beds available.
It's a pity she still came.
They came with Liang Xinzhou and the others, and they received special treatment after arriving.
The hospital director personally received her and arranged a VIP bed for her. The doctor who treated her wounds was an experienced chief physician.
The doctor said there were no broken bones.
The amulet on her shoulder had broken in two, and the contents inside were nowhere to be found, leaving only two strips of cloth.
If Xu Qingzhu hadn't pinned a good luck charm on her that morning, that knife might have pierced her bone.
Liang Shi only realized this now—the workplace is a place of bloodshed.
That Taoist priest seems to have some skill.
The amulet protected her from the disaster, and according to Li Ran, she should go to Yunyin Taoist Temple again another day to offer prayers as a way of fulfilling her vow.
The doctor was very experienced in treating wounds, and Liang Shi didn't feel any particular pain during the process.
But since it's an injury, with such a large cut, it still hurts.
After the bandage was finished, Liang Xinhe still asked with concern, "Doctor, do I need a tetanus shot or something?"
Liang Shi's eyelids twitched as he listened.
She wanted to go back to work, but the two men ordered her to stay in the hospital to recuperate.
then……
She looked at Zhao Xuning, twirling the apple in her hand, and asked, "Are you free?"
Zhao Xuning stood with his arms crossed in front of the table, ten meters away from her hospital bed. "Not bad, not as busy as you."
Liang Shi: "How about we peel an apple?"
Zhao Xuning: "I won't eat it."
Liang Shi: "...I'll eat it."
She really does have a lot of free time.
He was so bored that he wanted to eat an apple and even wanted to tease Zhao Xuning.
There's not much to do in this hospital ward.
She wants to go to work.
Zhao Xuning, of course, did not peel an apple for her.
In Zhao Xuning's words, "My knife is for disemboweling people. If you need it, I can help you."
Liang Shi: "..."
She felt it was best not to put herself in danger.
However, Zhao Xuning reluctantly gave her a wash.
Liang Shi was eating an apple with the peel on when he turned on the TV out of boredom.
A major documentary was playing on TV, and she was playing a hypnosis program.
Not long after, Zhao Ying came to see her, and the two chatted for a while. Zhao Ying told her a lot of gossip about the entertainment circle and also told her about the time for taking the makeup photos.
It happens to be this Saturday.
Zhao Ying also said, "I know you usually have to go to work, so I specifically asked them to find a time for you."
Liang Shi smiled and said, "Sister Ying is so thoughtful."
“But your injury…” Zhao Ying worried, “will you be able to get a makeover then?”
“Yes, it’s possible,” Liang Shi said. “Don’t be fooled by how well it’s bandaged up. It’s just a small injury. If the hospital hadn’t come early, it might have already healed.”
Zhao Xuning, who had seen her wounds, scoffed.
Liang Shi: "..."
Before leaving, Zhao Ying patted Zhao Xuning and said, "Don't take advantage of Xiao Liang's injury to bully him. You always have such a long face. Who owes you money?"
Zhao Xuning answered without hesitation: "You."
Zhao Ying: "..."
"That happened so many years ago?" Zhao Ying said. "Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't pay back money?"
“You are,” Zhao Xuning said. “When are you going to return my five hundred?”
Zhao Ying gritted her teeth, "No."
“Then I’ll ask Yang Shuyan for it,” Zhao Xuning said.
Zhao Ying's eyes widened immediately. "Hey, if you're going to do that, I'm really into it."
Zhao Xuning raised an eyebrow slightly. "Hmm?"
“I still have Shen Hui’s WeChat,” Zhao Ying said. “How about I introduce you two?”
Zhao Xuning: "..."
An eerie silence fell over the ward.
The two cousins bickered, and in the end Zhao Xuning gave in, pushing Zhao Ying out and saying, "Go and focus on filming."
Zhao Ying flashed a victorious smile, but then remarked meaningfully, "Even our aloof beauty has people she's afraid of. Unbelive!"
Zhao Xuning: "..."
She parted her thin lips slightly and uttered a single word calmly: "Get out."
"Huh?" Zhao Ying stood by the doorway. "What did you say? You want me to find Chen Hui?"
Zhao Xuning: "...That's enough."
Zhao Ying laughed, "Who would have thought that my sister would fall for him like this?"
Zhao Xuning: "..."
After Zhao Ying left, Liang Shicai looked at Zhao Xuning.
She had only intended to observe Zhao Xuning's expression, but as soon as her gaze fell upon her, Zhao Xuning said, "Don't ask, I don't know, and I won't tell you."
Liang Shi: "..."
Oh, this.
It seems there's something going on.
