Shi Zhong immediately shut his mouth and did not dare to make a sound.

Shi He was also shocked by her. In his impression, Shen Xian was always gentle and gentle. She had never been so fierce. It could be seen how much her heart ached now.

Her son had been harmed time and time again. He could not even escape from the hospital. Her daughter had been forced to go to the capital. For the first time, she realized how weak her personality was.

If she had realized this earlier and become stronger, just like Lu Xiang, perhaps she would not be helpless now and even become a burden to her daughter.

Shi Man could see the loneliness in her eyes. She frowned and walked to her side. She reached out and pulled her into her arms. She lowered her voice and whispered in her ear, “Mom, as long as you’re fine, you’ve helped me a lot. You don’t have to think too much. Leave anything to me.”

Shen Xian stared at her solemn daughter in a daze and nodded slowly. “Manman, you have to be careful.”

“I know. Wait for me to come back.” After Shi Man said this, she turned around and left the ward without looking at Shi Zhong again.

Outside the hospital, a black figure silently turned into the alley.

That person raised a hand to take off the hat and leaned against the wall, panting. The person’s long hair was tied tightly into a knot behind.

She raised her hand and took out her phone to look at the time. Just as she was about to walk to the quiet night to change her clothes, she looked down and suddenly saw the dried blood on the tip of the knife.

A drop of blood was still condensed on the blade. It was actually very difficult to discover it in the night.

Lin Yue’s heart tightened. She hurriedly wiped the blood off her clothes and carefully returned the way she came.

She had been looking down at the traces on the ground carefully. Fortunately, the blood had already dried up when it reached the entrance of the alley, but there were still some traces dripping at the entrance of the hospital.

Lin Yue was about to turn out of the alley to clean up these traces when she suddenly looked up and saw a figure running out of the hospital.

Her heart skipped a beat. She quickly turned around and panted nervously.

She patted her chest and forced herself to calm down. She tiptoed out of the other exit of the alley and got into the car she had parked there.

After getting into the car, Lin Yue threw away her hat. Her rapid breathing calmed down for a while before returning to normal.

The cushion on her shoulder slipped off. Lin Yue took off her clothes tiredly and threw everything into the backseat. She changed into her own clothes and heaved a sigh of relief before driving back to the Lin family.

She had taken the initiative to think of tonight’s operation. Even Mother Lin did not know where she had gone in the middle of the night.

Lu Jun was sitting on the sofa playing chess with Mr. Lin. When he saw her return, his nose twitched slightly, as if he had smelled something unusual.

However, he didn’t say anything in the end. In the blink of an eye, his expression changed to a kind smile. “Your mother has been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and go to the cafeteria to eat.”

“Alright, Granduncle. Take your time playing chess. I’ll come and accompany you after dinner.” Lin Yue smiled at him obediently, then turned around and walked into the washroom.

Looking at her pale and flustered self in the mirror, she hurriedly turned on the tap and washed her face and hands. Only then did her rash heart calm down.

Lin Yue had just regained her senses when someone knocked on the bathroom door from outside.

She frowned warily and leaned against the door, listening carefully for any movements outside. “Who is it?”

She was panicking. She was always worried that Lu Jun had seen something just now and came over to talk to her alone.

Fortunately, the person outside quickly replied.

Chu Yue’s excited and curious voice came from outside through the door. “Yueyue, where did you go just now? I just discovered some news!”

Lin Yue heaved a long sigh of relief. She wiped the water off her face and hands before opening the bathroom door. She asked with a long face, “What is it?”

Chu Yue saw her expressionless face and thought that she had been rude. She looked inside awkwardly and said hesitantly, “Is it convenient for me to say it now?”

Lin Yue sighed and walked out of the washroom. She led her to the dining table and scooped a bowl of rice for herself. Then, she said slowly, “What is it?”

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment. She suddenly felt that Lin Yue was very cold to her tonight.

However, she did not think too much about it. She only thought that Lin Yue had gone out to relax in a bad mood. After all, anyone who had a strange boyfriend like Shi He would be a little frustrated, right?

Thinking of this, she was even happier. She leaned towards Lin Yue mysteriously and said, “You don’t know yet, right? Yi Zheng actually had a fiancee before Shi Man! She’s already back from overseas!”

“So what?” Lin Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at her indifferently.

Even if Yi Zheng had a fiancee in the past, Shi Man was his official fiancee now. Even if that woman came back to snatch her, she probably wouldn’t be able to..
