“Take care of your expression.”

In response to Hu Ting’s resolute voice, Wang Haoxuan tried to hide the corners of his lips that kept rising.

After Wang Yibo was shot during the inauguration ceremony and taken to the hospital, he underwent emergency surgery and was in the intensive care unit until today, when he was moved to the VIP room.

News and newspapers were buzzing about Wang Yibo’s accident every day. The case of Chairman Wang’s slush fund scandal is well-known due to this.

Prosecutors also expressed their belief that Chairman Wang’s summons should be postponed due to an accident involving his son.

Executives and shareholders were also agitated, and at this time, the existing forces who wanted to follow Wang Haikuan’s succession process, the forces of Hu Ting who wanted to appoint Wang Haoxuan as the new successor, and the forces who believed that there was still no one better than Wang Yibo as a successor were confronting each other.

Hu Ting straightened her expression and told Wang Haoxuan to never show off his face.

Instead, Wang Haoxuan was having a heated discussion about the good news with his friends on his cell phone. Who really shot Wang Yibo?

The common opinion of all was that it was difficult to guess because there were so many people who wanted to kill Wang Yibo.

If Mo Xuanyu had been here, they would have shared the joy together. He sent a message to him with regret, but there was no reply.

When the car came to a stop in front of the hospital, the secretary opened the back door.

Chairman Wang and Wang Haikuan’s cars stopped behind, and they got off and entered the hospital.

People’s attention was drawn to them, and the hospital director and doctors greeted them, but their faces were gloomy.

Wang Haoxuan discovered the reason at the VIP ward entrance on the 20th floor.

Li Bowen stopped them before the elevator door opened and they could enter Wang Yibo’s hospital room.

Chairman Wang looked surprised at Li Bowen, who was blocking the way.

“What are you doing.”

“I’m sorry, Chairman. You can’t go in.”

Wang Haikuan, who was standing next to him, rushed forward.

“You cheeky bastard. How dare you, a mere secretary, meddle so recklessly. What? We can’t get in? You were under Wang Yibo, so your liver came out of the stomach, didn’t it?”

Wang Haikuan stepped forward with a single blow, and the hospital director next to him was apologetic, but he couldn’t stop him.

The elevator door then opened, revealing Wang Zoey. Next to her was a young man with glasses.

Chairman Wang recognized him. He was a representative lawyer at a large law firm who knew Wang Yibo and was in charge of Yibo’s personal affairs.

Wang Zoey approached the family members with a gentle expression.

“You all came early. But what can I do, I think it’s going to be hard to visit today.”

Wang Haikuan replied with a curt face.

“Why? You said the surgery went well.”

Wang Zoey had a sad expression on her face after slowly examining the faces of her family members.

“Because he was bleeding profusely, he died and was resurrected. He needs to rest right now, so come back later.”

The bullet in the left leg only crossed the artery and nerve, but the bullet in the right leg severed the artery.

First aid was administered immediately, but there was so much blood that it was difficult to locate the artery hidden inside the muscle.

If a medical team had not been deployed to the scene despite Wang Yibo’s objection, and if Wang Zoey had not been there on the pretext of being busy, something unimaginable might have happened.

Then Hu Ting stepped forward. The sound of high heels hitting the floor was sharp.

“Zoey, We’ll just check his face. Your father came all the way here himself.”

Wang Haikuan also helped.

“That’s right. Don’t be too tight. The director doesn’t even say anything, but why are you interfering!”

The hospital director coughed and averted his gaze. He couldn’t say anything else because he had already spoken with Wang Zoey.

Wang Zoey examined the faces of the family members one by one. Everyone was hiding it, but there was a strange look of excitement on their faces.

They must be so happy. Wang Yibo, who was like a thorn in the eye, was shot.

She cast a glance at the law firm representative sitting next to her. He opened the document and presented it to Chairman Wang politely.

Chairman Wang’s secretary accepted it and handed it over to him. Chairman Wang’s brow twitched as he examined the documents’ contents.

Zoey began speaking as she looked at Chairman Wang.

“It’s about giving me complete authority if something happens to Director Wang and he becomes unconscious or dies.”

Chairman Wang’s eyes widened when he heard the words.

“What do you mean by this?”

Wang Zoey smiled brightly. That smile somehow resembled Wang Yibo.

“Well, what does that mean?”

Wang Haikuan became impatient and asked angrily.

“Are you kidding me? So what it is? Say it correctly so that I can understand!”

Zoey still fixed her gaze on Chairman Wang.

“It means that whoever it is, if you want to kill Yibo in the future, you have to kill me, too. Father.”

There was anger and sadness in the word “father.”

Chairman Wang’s eyes trembled, and Haikuan raised his voice next to him.

“What do you mean now? I mean, we even asked for a favor!”

Chairman Wang gestured to stop and then looked at Wang Zoey.

Her lips were softly smiling, but her eyes were strangely hostile. Unlike Wang Yibo, she was good at hiding her emotions, but she showed them today.

Chairman Wang nodded and returned the documents, calming the ferocious momentum.

“I’m going back today. Contact me when he gets better. You’re not the only one who’s worried about him.”

“Yes, I will.”

Zoey returned to her usual form and smiled sweetly.

Chairman Wang and the family turned around and left.

The hospital’s director and other doctors appeared to be wiping sweat from their foreheads.

Wang Zoey bit her lips and closed her eyes tightly after they boarded the elevator and descended.

Li Bowen came to the side.

“You did well.”

Zoey opened her eyes, took a deep breath, and smiled sadly.

She was stunned and then enraged the first time she heard Wang Yibo’s story. Why is he so greedy that he wants to hold the position by killing his children? Zoey didn’t get it, and neither did forgiveness.

After sending off the lawyer, she went into the hospital room with Li Bowen.

After checking Yibo’s blood pressure and pulse, she looked down at his two legs wrapped in bandages. It seemed that it would take quite a while to walk without discomfort.

“It would be better to move to the hospital, wouldn’t it?”

Bowen nodded at Zoey’s question.

“I’m looking for a suitable place, so I’ll let you know as soon as it’s decided.”

“I feel reassured that Secretary Li is by my side.”

“It’s nothing. I just do what I have to do.”

“Who is the culprit?”

Bowen pondered for a moment.

Wang Zoey doesn’t know that the killer is Mo Xuanyu or Xiao Zhan. Wang Yibo told Wang Zoey everything but kept this one a secret. So Bowen didn’t say anything either.

“We are still looking.”

Wang Yibo groaned and frowned at the time.

Wang Zoey approached him, and Li Bowen examined his face to see how he was doing. The lashes trembled, the eyelids raised, and the pupils moved to the left and right.

Zoey asked cautiously.

“Are you awake?”

The black eyes first looked at Wang Zoey, then at Li Bowen.

Wang Zoey asked again if he was okay, but there was no response. Wang Zoey’s heart sank as he stared at her like a lunatic.

She turned on her medical pen light to examine his pupils, but he suddenly laughed. Wang Zoey’s eyes widened. Did you just laugh? Did you hit your head when you fell?

However, neither the examination results nor the appearance were abnormal.

Wang Yibo now makes a sound and laughed to the point where his chest was vibrating.

Zoey looked back at Bowen with a worried expression.

“What’s wrong with him?”

When the doctor asked Bowen about the patient’s condition, he struggled to respond. But after nearly ten years of watching Wang Yibo, he guessed that’s the state…

“He seems angry.”

Zoey’s eyes widened.

“Did you just say that this is him being angry?”

Li Bowen lowered his voice and answered so that only Wang Zoey could hear it.

“Yes… very.”

He was right to say, ‘He’s so pissed off,’ but he didn’t want to tell Zoey those low-key words.

Wang Zoey frowned.

Wang Yibo couldn’t stop laughing at what he thought was funny. If anyone had seen him, they would have assumed his wife had given birth instead of being shot and hospitalized.

After a while of laughing, the smile on his face faded and his eyes became cold. The black eyes had taken on an eerie glint.

Ueg, ueg. Kim Yaan sticks his head out of the boat and vomits.

He was forced to change ships in the middle of the sea on a fishing boat, but his motion sickness worsened. He had taken some medication beforehand, but it was ineffective.

After he disappeared into the cabin saying he was going to lie down, Xiao Zhan looked at the turbulent sea from the deck. He could only hear sounds and see nothing in the dark sea.

After Kim Joon’s father saved his life when he was ten years old, he once went to Korea by boat like this at night.

The relief of living and the fear of going to a new place kept him awake the entire time he tried to sleep.

He met Kim Joon and Kim Yaan there. They were like family to him.

He took his phone from his pocket. Wang Yibo’s contact information was saved on the phone, which had been turned off.

While lying on the bed, he thought that he needed to get as far away as possible to where he couldn’t be found. It didn’t matter because it happened all the time.

It was a pity that he couldn’t get all of the money, but it was quite a big sum that he decided to be content with it.

He only got an advance payment from both of them, and he only gave them half of what they wanted, so it was never a low-key deal for them. The rest is up to them from now on. It didn’t matter whether they killed each other or not.

Xiao Zhan was certain he had received a large sum of money, so he planned to visit the island when the situation had calmed down.

It would be difficult to manage if it was too large, so he would need to get an appropriate size. To do so, he must first meet the woman he wishes to marry.

He will have to think about where he wants to live a little more, but he will not return to China.

He crossed his arms on the railing and looked down at the dark ocean, thinking through several thoughts.

He looked up and noticed a faint light in the distance. It flashed several times as if it were signaling

It was a sailing ship.

Xiao Zhan slowly stood up. The ship’s lights came closer and closer.
