Chapter 341 Ending Countdown 10
Jiang Yan Hui admitted that she had never really cared about Jiang Ji Zhen. Apart from sharing a bloodline, there was basically no affection between the two of them. Over the years, Jiang Ji Zhen had been lying in the hospital, and unless there was something major, Jiang Yan Hui would not make a special trip to visit him.
He wasn't cold-blooded or heartless; it's just that many things, accumulated over time, couldn't simply be ignored and treated as if nothing had happened.
He harbored resentment towards his father, so even though he remained in a coma for so many years, he never actually sought any reason for it.
It wasn't until he learned about Lin Zhenbiao's situation that he realized things weren't so simple. So, for the past few days, he had Ye Zhenghao's men guarding the hospital. Sure enough, after three days, Jiang Jizhen had some new information.
“Your father’s attending physicians were all replaced three days ago, so we received news today that your father has woken up, but he is still very weak.” Liu Qi handed the car keys to Jiang Yan, “Ms. Jiang, how about I drive you there…”
"No need." Jiang Yan waved her hand, glanced at the two children's room, and then said, "Liu Qi, send more people to take good care of Bei Bei and Tian Tian. When I'm not home, you have to keep an eye on them 24 hours a day."
Since Lin Zhenbiao can't bring himself to harm Jiang Jizhen, he's very likely to target the children!
He's already going all in, and if something goes wrong again, things will become even more complicated.
With Shang Zhancheng on Sisi's side, and the two children and Jiang Jizhen all under his nose, his chances of winning have increased significantly!
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, rest assured, I will take good care of them!" Liu Qi paused, looking hesitant, "Um... Mr. Jiang, there's something..."
"You know I don't like beating around the bush, so just say what you want to say."
Liu Qi nodded, "Because of the previous issues with the Ying family, there have been some problems with the bank loan, and a project we invested in in City B has encountered significant issues."
These were all expected events. Jiang Yan didn't react much, only saying, "I understand," before leaving the villa.
After Ying Rui suddenly fell to her death, Jiang Yan had already anticipated that most of the company's previous investment projects were funded by the Ying family. Now that such a thing had happened, it was conceivable that the Ying family would not come to her aid. However, many projects were already underway, and the sudden withdrawal of investment would definitely pose a great risk.
However, he couldn't care less about that now; his most important task was to deal with Lin Zhenbiao's matter first.
Upon arriving at the hospital, Jiang Yan discovered that Ye Zhenghao was also there. The two hadn't seen each other since parting ways in City B. Jiang Yan had previously only regarded Ye Zhenghao as Sisi's brother, but now…
He reached up and touched his nose, feeling somewhat unaccustomed to this change.
"Your father has woken up." Ye Zhenghao stepped forward, glanced at Jiang Yanhui, and frowned, saying, "Did you already know there was a problem with your father? It's only been three days. Someone who hadn't woken up for five years has suddenly woken up. Someone tampered with him before, didn't they? Was that person Lin Zhenbiao?"
Jiang Yan returned with a blank expression, her thin lips pressed tightly together. After a long while, she gently parted them, her deep voice revealing little emotion, "I want to go in and see him first."
Ye Zhenghao opened his mouth as if to say something more, but Jiang Yanhui had already walked past him and headed straight for the ward door. He thought for a moment and then quickly followed after her, stopping Jiang Yanhui again at the ward door. "I want to talk to you about some things first."
Jiang Yan's hand was already on the doorknob. She looked up when she heard this and said, "Speak."
Ye Zhenghao pondered for a moment before finally saying, "I know you and your grandfather... I have no interest in interfering in your family affairs, but you should know that I have always hoped for evidence of Lin Zhenbiao's crimes. I've helped you so much this time, and I hope that you won't show favoritism when the time comes. If Lin Zhenbiao can be convicted, I hope you will hand over the evidence to me."
Jiang Yan's lips twitched involuntarily. He knew Ye Zhenghao would say these things to him, and he wasn't surprised at all.
The man gripped the doorknob slightly harder, and the instant he opened the door, he spoke, his voice cold and his gaze indifferent, uttering only a few simple words: "Don't worry, Director Ye, everything will be as you wish!"
As you wish...
Ye Zhenghao wasn't entirely sure what Jiang Yanhui was up to, but his intuition told him that he was very likely to succeed in taking down Lin Zhenbiao this time. Of course, Jiang Yanhui was crucial, so he helped him without any reservations. In truth, he could have easily stood by and watched, since it was his family matter…
But since things have already come to this point, the only thing he can console himself with is to go with the flow as much as possible. If he can take down Lin Zhenbiao, it will be a good deed!

"Shang Yuan, can you please stop hanging around in front of me every day?"
How many days has it been?
Siyi reached out and covered her head in a state of collapse. She now realized that when she frantically followed this man into the hospital that day, she was like a lamb entering a tiger's den. Otherwise, why would it have been so difficult for her to leave the room for so many days?
"What exactly are you two brothers trying to do? Why are you locking me up and preventing me from leaving? Don't you know this is illegal? I'm a lawyer..."
"Wow, really?"
Shang Yuan, who was sitting on the sofa idly flipping through a magazine, suddenly brightened up when he heard the word "lawyer." He looked up abruptly and exclaimed, "Xiao Yi, you're a lawyer? How come I've never heard you mention it before?" As he spoke, he put down the magazine and looked Si Yi up and down, his face full of admiration. "I really didn't know you were a lawyer! You must be very good at handling cases, right?"
Siyi looked at him, both amused and exasperated, utterly helpless. "Can you please stop changing the subject? Shang Yuan, I have to leave today. If you stop me again, I won't be polite!"
"How am I being impolite?" Shang Yuan crossed his arms and grinned maliciously. "You definitely wouldn't be a match for me in a fight, and you can't escape either. Xiao Yi, why don't you just stay here obediently? My brother said it's only for a week. He doesn't mean any harm; he just wants to protect you. There are a lot of big bad wolves out there waiting to devour you, little white rabbit."
"What big bad wolf and little white rabbit?" Siyi scratched her hair and retorted with some disdain, "I'm not a little white rabbit."
"If you're not a little white rabbit, then what are you?" Shang Yuan winked at her, then suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Oh! I know! You're not a little white rabbit, you're a little wildcat! Haha, am I right?"
Little Wildcat...
Upon hearing those three words, Siyi's blood seemed to freeze. She slumped onto the sofa, feeling a tightness in her chest, and her expression turned ashen.
Little wildcat, little wildcat.
There's someone who likes to call her that. She's been gone for several days now. I wonder how he is doing, if he's alright? And her children, Beibei and Tiantian, are they both okay?
Swallows return, swallows return...
I miss you so much. If longing had a sound, I wouldn't want it to be a sad one. If longing had magic, please let it tell you that I've always been thinking of you...
"Xiaoyi... Hey, Xiaoyi?" Seeing that she had suddenly stopped moving and was sitting blankly on the sofa, Shang Yuan squatted down in front of her and waved. "Why are you so quiet all of a sudden? What are you thinking about?"
"You're calling me Xiaoyi now. You could call me 'sister' without any problem." Siyi calmly concealed the emotions in her eyes, raised her head, and said expressionlessly, "Shang Yuan, I'm older than you. Stop calling me Xiaoyi, do you hear me?"
"not me……"
"source."
Shang Yuan's words were interrupted by Shang Zhancheng at the door. Both of them turned around and saw that Shang Zhancheng had been standing at the door at some point. Today, he was not wearing a white coat, but casual clothes. However, he was full of vigor, confidence and composure. He walked in with his hands behind his back. "You can go out first. I have something to say to Miss Ye."
Shang Yuan was displeased. "Is there anything I can't listen to? I'm not leaving."
Shang Zhancheng could handle anyone in the world with ease. Of course, everyone has exceptions, and he was no exception either. One of his exceptions was Jiang Yanhui, and the other was Xia Ran.
As for the younger brother in front of him, he could easily subdue him without any effort. "Daddy just called. Is your phone in your room? Are you sure he won't search the whole world for you if you don't call back within five minutes?"
Sure enough, Shang Yuan's expression changed, and he stood up impatiently. "I'll go call him right away." As he walked, he muttered curses under his breath, "Damn it, there's never a day without trouble..."
As soon as Shang Yuan left, Si Yi breathed a sigh of relief. You see, for the past two days, she had been facing this little brother who was clearly several years younger than her but kept calling her "Xiao Yi." She was under so much pressure!
“Mr. Shang, I think you don’t need to keep me here any longer. I really have something very important to do.” She had already packed her things, but there wasn’t much else—just a bag—so she could leave at any time. “I can’t stay here any longer. Please let me go.”
"Miss Ye, are you afraid I'll notify Yan Hui?" Shang Zhancheng stepped forward with a smile, his gaze relatively gentle, but for some reason, it seemed to Si Yi as if it carried a hint of gossip. "Don't worry, Yan Hui won't come. If he knew you were here, wouldn't he have rushed over already?"
"No, I really have something very important to do..."
"Is there anything more important than your daughter?" Shang Zhancheng waved his hand from behind him, revealing a document wrapped in a blue folder. "I'm not letting you leave because of a doctor's most basic professional ethics. Take a look, huh?"
