Judging from Chao Yan’s position and the broken pieces of teapot, he was clearly attacked.
Chao Yan was unconscious at this time, so he naturally could not answer him.
Yin Shi carried Chao Yan and returned to the room as fast as he could. He changed Chao Yan’s clothes and turned on the heater so that the temperature in the room would rise quickly.
He looked at his master’s pale face as he wiped the blood from the corner of Chao Yan’s mouth with a warm wet towel.
Chao Yan’s lips were completely blanched, making Yin Shi extremely nervous.
Yin Shi checked Chao Yan’s temperature again, but it was still as cold as ice. He looked at Chao Yan’s face once more and said, “Master, wake up.”
The Shaded Manor was a relatively old house. The security measures were not perfect at all. There was not a single guard, and there were no surveillance cameras. It was impossible to know who had come.
Yin Shi looked at Chao Yan. He had always liked to sit in the six-sided pavilion and think about things. Sometimes, he would sit there for an entire day.
Master had only woken up yesterday afternoon. Before it was even daybreak, his master had already gone to the six-sided pavilion. Could it be related to Qin Shu?
Yin Shi guessed in his heart, but he was not sure.
There was medicine brewing in the kitchen. It was something Chao Yan had to drink every day.
He brought the medicine over. The temperature was just right.
Feeding medicine to a person in a coma was a very big task.
Yin Shi spent an hour just feeding Chao Yan a small bowl of medicine.
It was late at night.
The cold wind outside the window kept screeching as though it was about to slice through the dark atmosphere.
‘When Chao Yan woke up, his vision was pitch black, but he was already used to the darkness. He raised his hand and wanted to lift the blanket to get out of bed. He did not know what time it was.
Yin Shi had been standing by the bed the whole time. He knew that Chao Yan was awake when he saw Chao Yan lift the blanket. He hurriedly stood up to help Chao Yan up. “Master, you’re awake. Are you feeling unwell?”
Chao Yan asked, “What time is it now?” His voice was a little low and very weak.
Yin Shi looked at the time and said, “It’s already 11:40 pm.”
“I slept for so long.” Chao Yan got up with Yin Shi’s help. He felt waves of pain in his chest. He covered his chest with his hand, trying to ease the pain. “Has there been any news from Xi Yan?”
Yin Shi said, “He hasn’t been found yet. It’s unlikely that he’s alive.”
No one had expected this.
It was originally a job to assassinate Yan Shuang, Unfortunately, it turned out to be real. Fu Tingyu even got implicated in it, and he had lost his life because of it.
Chao Yan paused. He thought about Qin Shu’s anger before he asked again, “Who is the person in charge of this case?”
Yin Shi said, “It’s Yin Yue. She said that she did as you said. She just didn’t expect that Fu Tingyu would be with Yan Shuang, so this unexpected incident happened.”
Chao Yan sneered, “Unexpected? Is she a three-year-old child?”
Yin Shi widened his eyes. “Master, you mean… ? ? ?”
Chao Yan only said one sentence, “Crimson Sand Organization doesn’t need someone like her who uses her status for personal gain.”
Chao Yan didn’t say this because a few years ago, Yin Yue had injured Qin Shu and locked her in the freezer. Instead, he wanted to start from the incident two months ago.
Previously, Yin Yue had offended Chao Yan and made up for it later. She was only transferred back from the branch last year.
Two months ago.
Chao Yan had fallen asleep in the hot spring due to mental exhaustion while soaking in it.
He had been poisoned too deeply. Both his martial art strength and hearing were rapidly declining.
His eyesight had always been poor. If he did not look closely, he would not be able to see clearly what was in front of him.
Yin Yue sneaked into the hot spring pool and took the opportunity to approach him.
Chao Yan was a cold-blooded person. In his eyes, there was no distinction between men and women, only importance and unimportance.
‘When Yin Yue approached him and wanted to kiss him, he pushed her away forcefully.
If it were in the past, he would have noticed Yin Yue when she was still in the hot spring pool.
Yin Yue had been in love with Chao Yan for so long. She refused to give up and wanted to confess her love for him. She had even joined Crimson Sand Organization for the sake of Chao Yan. She did not care about the danger and simply wanted to help Chao Yan. She had invested ten years of her youth and
life on Crimson Sand Organization and him.
“Master, why don’t you try dating me?”
When Chao Yan heard this, he said, “Entering Crimson Sand Organization was your own choice. I did not force anyone. I also said that no personal feelings were allowed here.”
“Is it because of Qin Shu? Are you unwilling to accept me because of her?”
Chao Yan said coldly, “Even without her, I will not accept you.”
After Yin Yue left, Chao Yan thought that she had given up and that this matter would end here.
But he did not expect her to be so vengeful.
Yin Shi wanted to plead for Yin Yue on hearing this. Before he could speak, Chao Yan said once more, “Those who are involved in this matter will be expelled from Crimson Sand.”
Only then did Yin Shi understand there was no way that Yin Yue could get away with this.
“Yes, Master.”
Chao Yan said, “Book a plane ticket to Xi Yan.”
“Master, your physical condition is not able to withstand the fatigue of running around. I have already sent people to find him just like you asked, but the probability of finding him is very small.”
“Qin Shu already sent so many men to search all week, but there is still no news.”
Chao Yan said coldly, “Are you going to disobey my orders too?”
Yin Shi lowered his head. “Master, naturally not.”
Aweek after returning to Jiangcheng.
Old Madam Fu called. It was Shi Yan who answered the call.
After Lord Fu went missing, he bought a new cell phone. The card number was still the same as before.
Because he was often busy, many of the calls were answered by Shi Yan.
“Old Madam Fu, Lord Fu is busy. What’s the matter?”
Old Madam Fu said, “I haven’t seen Little Yu for a long time. Tell him to come back for dinner today.”
“Old Madam Fu, Lord Fu has been busy with the development case here recently and won’t be able to go back for some time.”
Old Madam Fu sighed. “Alright then. Tell him to bring his family back for dinner when he’s free.”
“Yes, Old Madam Fu.”
Shi Yan hung up the phone and let out a long sigh.
It had been a week, but there was still no news of Lord Fu.
Shi Yan stayed in the company every day to deal with all kinds of matters. Many of them required Lord Fu’s signature and stamp, so he brought them all back to Bright Garden.
In the study, the lights were bright.
Qin Shu sat in front of the desk, dealing with matters that should have been handled by Fu Tingyu.
She had imitated the man’s handwriting to sign documents.
She had put in a lot of effort to be able to write it without arousing suspicion.
Although Shi Yan had been working for Lord Fu for a long time, he could not tell if it was real or fake.
Shi Yan stood at the side and recounted the important events of the day.
Qin Shu asked without raising her head, “Does anyone doubt it?”
“Yes, people have asked about when Lord Fu would be back earlier today. The quarterly family meeting is next week,” Shi Yan said.
Qin Shu stopped signing. “Family meeting?”
Shi Yan replied, “Yes, Young Madam Fu. The elders and direct descendants of the family all have to attend it.”
Qin Shu frowned. What family meeting? There was no news about the man at all. She rubbed her temples and felt a headache.
Shi Yan looked at Qin Shu. He knew that this matter would be difficult to resolve. When the day came, he could not hide it even if he wanted to.
