"I mean to say, she will definitely do what she wants and we can’t stop her. If we do, you will turn these people against you. They will do what she wants and take her wherever she wants to go. You can’t stop them." said Lu Feng as he looked at San Zemin and the butler, as those were the people he was talking about.
"Are you saying we should leave her in danger?" asked Jiang Yang.
"Calm down first. She won’t go killing people out there. It’s just to stop those who will create trouble, just like she brought me back here. Also, these people are there to protect her."
"Brought you back? Where were you and what happened?" asked Jiang Yang as he observed Lu Feng to check on him if he was hurt.
"There are few assholes out there and one of those did this but nothing to worry about now," smiling, Lu Feng replied as if it was not a big deal.
"What are you hiding from me?" Jiang Yang asked again as he was sure Lu Feng was hiding something.
"I am not hiding anything and there is nothing to tell you because you don’t know those enemies." Lu Feng lied.
"But...."
"No more words as my brain hurts by explaining to you anything at this moment. Let me rest," Lu Feng brushed it off before this smart friend of his could catch his lie and ask him to explain everything.
Hearing it, Jiang Yang realized why he was there and punched Lu Feng on the shoulder.
"Ahhh! What are you doing?" Lu Feng whined in pain as he rubbed his shoulder.
"You idiot. Do you know how worried I was?" Jiang Yang exclaimed furiously.
Before Lu Feng could say anything, Jiang Yang hugged Lu Feng tightly. San Zemin and Butler went out to give these two friends a space to argue over.
"Your brother and you, have you both planned to give me pain? First, he left and now you keep putting yourself in danger. My sister and I won’t forgive you both. I can’t do anything about him, but I can beat you as you are still alive," said Jiang Yang as tears rolled down from his eyes.
Though his words sounded as if it was so easy for him to say, each word he said was painful for him.
Lu Feng hugged him back to let him cry for a while and said, "I am sorry, Jiang Yang."
Jiang Yang let him go and said while still crying, "Just promise me you will be safe."
Lu Feng nodded, "I promise."
Once Jiang Yang was calm, Lu Feng asked, "How’s my uncle?"
"He was in critical condition yesterday but now he is stable."
"Thank you for looking after him all the time. I know you are always there and never even went back home."
"I am doing my duty as a doctor. I hope he will wake up soon but I feel bad for not being able with Yuyan when she needed me the most. I am scared she might do something rash."
"I am sorry that I couldn’t stop a few things from happening," Lu Feng apologized.
After talking for a while Jiang Yang left for the hospital and Lu Feng turned on the TV. There was news that someone shot businessman Xi Cheng and he was in the hospital in the critical condition.
San Zemin came to Lu Feng’s room to ask if he needed something, but instead Lu Feng asked, "How is his condition?"
"He is fine as the bullet hit him at the arm but they are faking it to make it look serious and to get sympathy. This way the things turned out that someone is targeting the businessmen in the city. First my boss and now this man," San Zemin explained.
"I shot him on the chest two times," said Lu Feng.
"He must have predicted your move and came there prepared by wearing a bulletproof jacket."
"I should have shot him in the head instead," mumbled Lu Feng as he said further, "I did it so that your boss won’t get blood on her hands but...." Saying it, Lu Feng ran his hands through his hair in frustration.
"She knows about him now and the way she is taking it calmly, I am sure she has something in her mind. She seems scarier than your brother," San Zemin concluded.
Lu Feng could do nothing but to sigh.

At Xi residence...
"We should go to see him in the hospital," suggested Xi Guiren.
Song Meiling, who was sitting in the living room while going through the news, replied, "I don’t care even if he dies."
"I know but it’s for the sake of what you have planned for Nicky or others might think you have planned to kill and the people who are supporting you will go on his side as sympathy for him."
Xi Guiren’s words made sense. Song Meilin was aware of it too, but she just didn’t want to act as if she cared for him and decided not to see him.
"You don’t have to say anything. Your presence in the hospital just for a few moments is enough. Don’t let emotions get over you to ruin your efforts," Xi Guiren insisted, and Song Meilin nodded.
Nixxxie, who was listening with her parents, was thinking about the news that someone was targeting the businessmen in the city. The one whom she thought might be involved in Lu Qiang’s accident was himself attacked by someone so it made her think her step-brother must have nothing to do with it and she felt relieved.
When Song Meilin and Xi Guiren went to see Xi Cheng in the hospital, there was tight security everywhere and two bodyguards were placed outside of the room. Seeing them, Xi Cheng’s assistant greeted and let their way inside the room.
