Chapter 89: Caught in a Difficult Spot

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“That’s not my fault, is it? If we’re blaming anyone, it’s all on Shen Qingyue. She has pushed us to a dead end! If this continues, her position within the company will surely surpass ours. Are you willing to give away the easy money we have at hand?” Shen Yiyan knew he was getting a little impatient this time.

No matter how impatient he was, he had to do what he had to do. He did not expect that Shen Qingyue, who used to be so focused on love, suddenly lost interest in it and began chasing after her career. Initially, they established the company through dubious means, and if Shen Qingyue were to display her abilities, it would only make things harder for him.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Quickly go and check if the tails have been cleaned up properly,” Shen Yiyan said, feeling annoyed as he ran his fingers through his hair. He had assigned this task to the old man, but somehow, they found out what the substance was.

Shen Da turned around and made the phone call immediately. He knew very well that there was no room for any mistakes this time. The call was quickly answered, and the person on the other end confirmed that the tails were cleaned up thoroughly.

Upon hearing this, Shen Da felt relieved. However, what he didn’t know was that the person on the other end of the call had saved the conversation recording and forwarded it.

The hospital corridor was quiet, with only Shen Qingyue and Chi Ming remaining, accompanied by two bodyguards stationed at the door.

Seeing Chi Ming focused on his computer, Shen Qingyue could not help but say, “If you have work, you should go back first.”

Chi Ming did not raise his head and replied, “It’s fine.”

Hearing this, Shen Qingyue did not say anything more. She could not offer much comfort at the moment and had no inclination for small talk. Instead, she found a bench not far away and sat down, not wanting to disturb him while he worked.

The bodyguards brought cold medicine and hot water, which Shen Qingyue took. But before long, drowsiness overcame her again. Eventually, she could not resist the urge to rest any longer and collapsed onto the nearby seat. As her head bumped against the armrest, a large hand firmly caught her.

Unconsciously, she leaned against the support and fell sound asleep.

Chi Ming took a seat next to her, gently resting her head on his shoulder.

Listening to her soft breathing, he continued to work, though his typing

became quieter.

When Qin Zhen arrived at the hospital, he brought dinner along. However, as he stepped out of the elevator, he happened to see Shen Qingyue sleeping against Chi Ming’s shoulder. His footsteps halted, and his expression remained inscrutable.

Chi Ming noticed Qin Zhen’s presence and slowly looked up. Their eyes met, and an unspoken tension filled the air.

They remained locked in this standoff, but Qin Zhen was the first to break eye contact. He turned and walked away. When he reached the ground floor, he threw the dinner box into the trash can. As he got into his car, the image of Shen Qingyue resting against Chi Ming’s shoulder kept replaying in his mind, refusing to fade away.

Qin Zhen had never been so close to her before, yet now he saw her in the embrace of another man. He couldn’t quite describe what he felt, only a sense of suffocation in his chest that he could not shake off. Just then, his phone rang. It was Wei Jiu’er.

Since their last encounter and with his busy schedule, he hadn’t contacted her for several days. Perhaps she knew he was upset, as she had been quite well-behaved lately. Honestly, he really wasn’t in the mood to answer her call now.

After waiting for a moment, he reluctantly decided to pick up the phone, remembering how Wei Jiu’er had risked her life to save him.

When the call connected, Wei Jiu’er’s crying voice came through, “Zhen, I got off work late and ran into some ruffians. I’m so scared, hiding in a convenience store and dare not go out. Can you come to pick me up…”

Unable to decline, Qin Zhen askd, “Where are you?”

Wei Jiu’er quickly provided her location, and Qin Zhen drove there. Indeed, outside the convenience store, several rough-looking young men were loitering, their eyes glancing inside with malicious intent.

Qin Zhen strode in, and when Wei Jiu’er saw him, she rushed over and hugged him tightly. “Zhen, you finally came. I was really scared…”

Qin Zhen felt a bit uncomfortable with her closeness, but he did not push her away. His tone remained cool as he said, “Let’s go.”

Seeing the beautiful woman with a man by her side, the thugs muttered some curses under their breath and left.

Wei Jiu’er let out a sigh of relief, “Zhen, thank you for coming. I… I have reflected on myself. No matter the conflicts between Bing’er and Shen Qingyue, kidnapping someone was wrong. I knew she was in the wrong, yet I didn’t stop her or tell you. That was my mistake,” she said, tears streaming down her face.

Qin Zhen could not bear to see her like this. He softened and pulled her into his arms. “It’s alright, it’s all in the past now. Let’s not bring up this matter again. I haven’t contacted you recently, and I admit I’ve been busy…”

He knew that Wei Jiu’er was not inherently bad, but she had lost her composure due to the situation with Shen Qingyue..
