Gu Yazheng looked at the figure in the hospital room. A light lotus-colored silk dress embroidered with exquisite designs. Just like Fu Ya all those years ago. His daughter, she had really returned! Desperately saving Ren Ye.A sourness welled up in Gu Yazheng’s heart; ultimately, Ren Ye had won. He couldn’t let Ren Ye know that even Fu Ya’s daughter had chosen him.
Gu Yazheng said angrily, "To attack my men on my turf is to show no respect for me. Notify all the security personnel in the hospital to come up and stabilize the situation." Ren Ye must die!
Ren Shu and Ren Yue secretly rejoiced. The fight among the bodyguards outside would surely affect Fu Bing’s surgery. With her mediocre medical skills, there was no way she could save Ren Ye. In the end, if anything happened to Ren Ye, outsiders couldn’t blame them.
Seeing his father and sister staying silent, Ren Zhi hastily blocked Wu Shi’s path. "You go in and shut the door to the ward. After Miss Fu finishes the surgery, I’ll figure out a way for you both to come out."
Wu Shi looked at Ren Zhi with pity. Couldn’t he see that the people in front of him had no intention of letting Ren Ye live?
Ren Zhi felt his scalp tingle as he watched the numbers on the elevator change bit by bit. He said to Gu Yazheng, "President Gu, I will give you a satisfactory explanation and compensation for this incident. My uncle’s condition is critical; please let Miss Fu complete the surgery."
Gu Yazheng said, "If you make her stop now, your uncle still has a chance to survive."
Batch after batch of bodyguards emerged from the elevator.
Ren Zhi was so anxious sweat beaded on his forehead.
Suddenly, a large hand pressed on his shoulder. Wu Shi shook his head at him and pulled him behind. The short knife in his hand spun casually.
Ren Zhi said worriedly, "Be careful."
Wu Shi didn’t look at him but faced the approaching bodyguards.
Ren Shu, Ren Yue, Gu Yazheng, and Fu Ning watched as Wu Shi deftly twisted the bodyguards’ shoulders and legs. The crisp sounds made their scalps tingle. One by one, the bodyguards fell before them. The number of bodyguards standing in their way dwindled...
Gu Yazheng swallowed hard, his throat dry. Fu Ning, Ren Shu, and Ren Yue had already hidden far away.
Like a god of death, Wu Shi advanced step by step.
"Stop, don’t come any closer..." Gu Yazheng raised his hand to stop him.
The moment Gu Yazheng began to speak, Wu Shi shot the short knife at him.
Gu Yazheng’s face turned white as he watched the short knife aim straight for his face. Fearfully, he raised his hand to block it.
The short knife’s blade easily sliced through the strap of Gu Yazheng’s watch, then buried itself deeply into the wall behind him.
Instantly, cold sweat broke out on Gu Yazheng.
"If you value your life, get out!" The rough, gravelly voice came from behind the mask, raspy like the scratch of a pen on sandpaper. It wasn’t unpleasant, but it discouraged any rash actions.
Fu Bing’s hands paused momentarily. Was that Wu Shi’s voice?
Fu Bing glanced outside the ward, her pupils flickering for a moment. Wu Shi’s back was covered in blood. Had he been injured? No, that wasn’t right. His clothes were undamaged. Had he suffered serious injuries during the days he had been missing?
Fu Bing quickly refocused and sped up her suturing.
A deathly silence fell over the corridor outside.
Fu Ning was the first to react, grabbing Gu Yazheng and pulling him into the elevator. Ren Shu and Ren Yue also followed, their hearts pounding with fear.
Ren Zhi stood dumbfounded, watching as Wu Shi effortlessly pulled out the short knife, which had been almost entirely embedded in the wall.
Wu Shi cast a fleeting glance at him and went straight into the operating room.
Fu Bing peeled off her blood-stained gloves.
"’Mr. Ren, the surgery is done.’" Fu Bing’s voice, cool and tinged with nonchalance, came from the operating room.
Ren Zhi snapped back to reality and hurried in. "Wasn’t it supposed to take three to four hours?"
"’That includes the time for the patient to wake up.’"
"’So,’ Ren Zhi’s mind went blank, ’what do I need to do now? Transfer him to another hospital? Or should I call the medical staff over?’"
"’If you’re not at ease, you can have them on standby.’"
With that said, Fu Bing took Wu Shi’s hand. Wu Shi allowed her to pull him along.
Fu Bing found an empty ward. "’Take off your clothes. I need to look at your wound.’"
Fu Bing glared at him. "’Why didn’t you say anything about being injured?’"
Wu Shi didn’t answer, just stood there upright. As if he wasn’t the one whose entire back was covered in blood.
Fu Bing sighed in exasperation. "’Wait here. I’ll ask Ren Zhi to call a male doctor for you.’"
Wu Shi turned his head, watching her communicate with Ren Zhi. Her slender, exquisite figure always exuded warmth and a sense of security. With her by his side, he dared to give up everything, because she was his safety net.
When Fu Bing returned from Ren Ye’s ward, Wu Shi had already had his wounds treated and was asleep on the hospital bed, lying prone. She deliberately made her footsteps heavier but still didn’t wake him.
Fu Bing quietly brought over a chair, sat down beside him, and started reading on her phone.
Ren Zhi stayed by his uncle’s side the entire time. Three hours later, his uncle’s eyes fluttered open slightly then closed again.
Excited, Ren Zhi ran to the adjacent ward and saw Fu Bing and Wu Shi asleep, facing each other. Fu Bing seemed to be half-leaning into Wu Shi’s embrace, sleeping with an expression of innocent charm.
Ren Zhi unconsciously lightened his steps. Who would have thought that the man of Movie Queen Fu Ying, the dazzling star who was once the talk of the town, would be a disfigured man? Upon further thought, Movie Queen Fu Ying had even been with a man like Qin Jinhai, yet she ultimately met such a terrible fate. Finding a man who wasn’t handsome but loved her was also good.
Wu Shi’s deep, quiet eyes watched Ren Zhi at the door.
Ren Zhi shivered, whispering, "’I think my uncle is about to wake up.’"
Wu Shi gently squeezed Fu Bing’s hand. Fu Bing woke instantly.
Her gaze was vacant for a few seconds before she focused on Wu Shi, the man in front of her. For a moment, she thought Qin Jinhai was by her side. She was even despairing of herself. She had run to Jiangnan to clear her mind, yet her thoughts were still of Qin Jinhai.
"’Movie Queen Fu Ying, my uncle seems to be waking up. Please go and check on him.’"
Fu Bing walked over quickly. By the time she reached the next ward, any trace of sleepiness had left her face.
Ren Ye seemed to feel someone by his bed and opened his eyes once more.
Fu Bing bent down to look into Ren Ye’s eyes. "’Hello, I’m Fu Ya’s daughter, Fu Bing. I just operated on you, and the surgery was very successful. I hope you recover soon. I also wish to learn about my mother’s past from you.’"
Ren Ye’s eyes widened, and tears welled up in them.
"’I’ll be staying in Jiangnan for a while, so there’s no need to rush.’"
Ren Zhi asked, "’Is my uncle alright now?’"
"’From now on, normal care and medication will suffice. The hospital’s medical staff are more professional than I am.’"
Ren Zhi nodded repeatedly. "’I’ll arrange for someone to take you back.’"
"’No need, we drove.’"
Fu Bing didn’t linger and went out to find Wu Shi.
Ren Ye’s gaze followed Fu Bing’s retreating figure until she was out of sight.
Ren Zhi gripped Ren Ye’s hand. "’Uncle, you’ve finally woken up. If you hadn’t, I wouldn’t have known what to do.’"
Ren Ye weakly returned the grip. He needed to get well soon. Fu Ya’s daughter had returned, and he had to give her daughter what he owed Fu Ya.
