Recognizing Xi Guiren, the doctor greeted him and he asked, "How is he now?"
"For now he is out of danger but we need to take care of him as the surgery was the critical one," the doctor informed as he was told while in reality there was nothing serious.
The doctor and the nurse left while Xi Cheng looked at his father and the step-mother putting an act that he was in too much pain, "Glad to see father and my step-mother here."
"Don’t be so overwhelmed. I am here to put on an act just like you are doing right now." A sarcastic and cold reply came from Song Meilin.
"Even if I die one day for real, you will think all this is an act," Xi Cheng countered to which he got another bitter reply.
"Why don’t you just try to make it real then?"
"Sigh, step mother wants me to die for real. How cruel."
Xi Cheng’s mother didn’t like it and finally spoke, "Sister, how can you say such a thing when my son....."
"I forgot it can hurt you as I don’t have any son to realize the pain of a mother," another sarcastic set of words came from Song Meilin that shut Xi Cheng’s mother.
"How long will you be here?" asked Xi Guiren, interrupting these two.
"At least for a week, father," Xi Cheng replied as he looked around the in the room, just to comment, "I can’t see my little sister. It seems like she is not worried about her brother."
"She said, she has no brother." Saying, Song Meilin looked at her husband and asked, "Can I leave now?"
"Hmm!"
As Xi Guiren nodded, without looking back, Song Meilin left the room while Xi Guiren followed her as he had work to do. Xi Cheng’s mother followed Xi Guiren to see him off, while Xi Cheng smiled as he mumbled, "Not a brother. Hmm, good to hear it."
Once no one was there, Xi Cheng called his assistant and asked, "What’s the status?"
"All our men at the factory side died and as you instructed we let them take the person with them."
"Hmm, let them enjoy it for a while, as soon I will get them down on their knees. Have you recorded what I asked you too?" Xi Cheng asked.
"Hmm. here it is." Saying, the assistant showed his boss a tablet and helped him to sit in the bed, he showed him the recording in it.
"This Lu Feng will be the reason for the downfall of the Lus," Xi Cheng commented as the evil smile painted on his lips the moment he finished watching the recording.
"Boss, the way they killed our men, it looks like they are strong just like before, and losing their boss hasn’t affected them."
"Did you get information about who is their new boss or they are operating on their own?" Xi Cheng enquired, being curious.
"Our men followed Mr. Lu Chen and Lu Han but they both don’t have any connection with them and about Mr. Lu Feng, if he had the control in his hand, he wouldn’t have done what he did with you?"
"For now, I don’t think they have a boss but if they have, we have to play a game to get the boss out," the assistant suggested.
"You mean....."
"With this video, you can offer to get face to face dealing with the boss and I don’t think the person is that strong to deal with what we have in hand," the assistant replied.
Xi Cheng got excited hearing it and instructed, "Get it ready then."
"Next week, once the boss is out of the hospital,"
"Hmm."

At the Lu Mansion...
Jiang Yuyan was resting in Lu Lijun’s room because Lu Lijun didn’t allow her to go out knowing she was not well. Jiang Yuyan listened to the little iceberg and her mother-in-law. Lu Lijun spent the day taking care of Jiang Yuyan by silently doing his work while sitting on the couch. He was being careful not to make any sound to disturb her and didn’t allow others to do so.
The lunch and the dinner for her were brought into the room which Lu Lijun personally paid attention to whether or not she ate properly. In the evening, Jiang Yuyan called San Zemin to enquire about Lu Feng.
"How is he now?" she asked, being careful that Lu Lijun won’t get what she was talking about. Seeing he was busy playing games, she thought it was the chance to make a call.
"He is fine and resting at the moment," San Zemin informed.
"Don’t allow him to go out and even if he does, keep an eye on him."
"We will."
"Send me the information where he was after he left the village," Jiang Yuyan ordered.
This is what San Zemin was scared about and he had no option but to do what Lu Feng had suggested to him.
Before San Zemin could say anything further, he heard another instruction, "And this time do it missing nothing. I want each and every detail."
"Yes, boss," said San Zemin.
The week passed by and Jiang Yuyan was ready for the action. She was feeling better with all the care she got from Lu Lijun and her mother-in-law. In between the weak, Jiang Yang came to see his sister along with their parents, but he didn’t tell her he knew about what she was doing these days.
Her parents were going back to the USA though they didn’t want to, but Jiang Yuyan assured them she was fine and she didn’t want anyone beside him. Her parents went back and Jiang Yuyan felt relieved that she didn’t have to worry about them.

The day after a week, Jiang Yuyan went to her mother-in-law. Ning Jiahui was sitting in her chair and knew why Jiang Yuyan came to her.
"Mother, I want...."
"Have a seat first," Ning Jiahui instructed, interrupting Jiang Yuyan.
Jiang Yuyan sat on the couch opposite Ning Jiahui. Before she could say anything, Ning Jiahui spoke, "I want you to protect yourself first and do the other things later."
"I will, mother," assured Jiang Yuyan.
"Try to deal with things being rational and don’t get swayed with the revenge," Ning Jiahui instructed again but this time Jiang Yuyan kept quiet so Ning Jiahui asked, "What are you thinking, Yuyan?"
"The one who gave him pain has to go through the same."
