Chapter 658: Scheming (3)
EndlessFantasy Translation
Dawn arrived slowly amidst the fog of the morning, and the breeze made a lot of leaves fall throughout the night.
In a ward in Hospital T.
When Gu Lingsha regained consciousness, she opened her eyes slowly and saw the white ceiling. She struggled to turn her head sideways and took a look around. As she was trying to get up, a staggering pain hit her in the head.
“Ms. Gu! You’re awake! How are you feeling?”
As Gu Lingsha was struggling to get up, a voice called out to her. Gu Lingsha endured the terrible headache and turned her head to see Yang Sheng’s smile. She instantly frowned and was trying to sit up with the help of her arms.
Yang Sheng went up to give her a hand.
Gu Lingsha’s face was as pale as a sheet, and there were some bruises on her forehead. She looked terribly weak right now with bandages all over her.
“What happened? Why am I here?” Gu Lingsha took a deep breath as she felt the harsh agony in her head.
Yang Sheng put a pillow behind her before saying, “Ms. Gu, you finally woke up! You had an accident. Don’t you remember? Master Qi and I didn’t see you anywhere when we tried to catch up with you. On the road, we heard there was an accident between an Audi and a Maserati. Master Qi panicked and ran over on foot to see that it really was you! He then quickly sent you to the hospital!”
Gu Lingsha’s eyes darkened when she heard Yang Sheng’s explanation, but they returned to normal after a while. Her memories from yesterday started flooding back to her.
She could faintly remember driving pretty fast. When she turned her steering wheel, another car zoomed past the red light. It was pretty dark, but she recalled seeing the cars from behind start to close in when she slowed down. She then crashed into the Audi coming from in front, but she could not remember anything afterward.
“Where’s Lei?” Gu Lingsha asked moments later. Her blue eyes were sparkling when she looked at Yang Sheng who was slightly caught off guard.
“Master Qi went to ask the doctor about your condition. A policeman dropped by just now and Master Qi is dealing with them. He’s stayed with you since last night. Fortunately, your injuries aren’t too bad. You only suffered a slight concussion. The Audi driver turned away at the very last second and crashed into the railings, and your car just barely scratched the Audi. Otherwise, it would’ve been a disaster! You’re really lucky despite the misfortune!”
Yang Shen had taken a look at the scene personally. Plus, the policeman also mentioned it just now.
If the Audi had not swerved away, the two of them would have suffered severe injuries!
Gu Lingsha nodded. “Mmm, I wasn’t in the best condition last night. I shouldn’t have done that.” Her beautiful face darkened as she sighed. “How’s the other driver doing?”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Gu. Master Qi will make the arrangements. It’s not entirely your fault. That driver needs to bear part of the responsibility as well, so just stay put and rest well. Let Master Qi handle it. The doctor said your condition is still unstable. Although your fever has just gone down, you still need to take some medicine and rest. The doctor also mentioned your concussion will give you a headache sometimes. Let us know if you feel uncomfortable anywhere. I’ll go get the medicine for you.”
He then handed Gu Lingsha the medicine.
With a deep breath, she asked, “Assistant Yang, can you help me check who’s the person that crashed into me?”
“Don’t worry, Ms. Gu. Master Qi is on it.” Yang Sheng smiled.
Gu Lingsha did not say anything else. She grabbed the tablets from Yang Sheng and popped them into her mouth.
Su Nan was still sleeping when Qi Lei went over. Mu Lingshi and the bodyguard went to handle the hospitalization administration for Ruan Heng while Xi Xiaye was still on the sofa, taking a light nap when another bodyguard came over.
“Missus?”
Xi Xiaye gradually woke up after she was called several times.
“Someone’s outside and he says he’s the other driver’s family member. He might be here to look for trouble. He doesn’t sound very friendly,” said the bodyguard.
Xi Xiaye blinked before checking on Ruan Heng quickly. She adjusted the blanket on Su Nan and then stood up. “I’ll go and take a look. Stay here and look after them.”
“Yes, Missus!”
…
In the empty hallway, Qi Lei wore his silver-gray suit with another extra windbreaker on top. He stood before the announcement board and looked at the posters on it. When he heard the sound of the door closing behind him, he turned around.
He was stunned the moment he saw Xi Xiaye.
“Xiaye? Why are you here?” Qi Lei looked surprised as he gaped at her.
Xi Xiaye looked up. She was not really surprised to see Qi Lei as she walked towards him calmly.
“You look exhausted.”

Qi Lei saw Xi Xiaye’s expression and instantly frowned. Then, he looked at the door of the patient’s ward. “Who’s the person inside that could make you so worried? You haven’t rested well for the whole night, haven’t you? You look frail.”
Xi Xiaye did not look at him and just sat down on a long bench nearby.
“Are you here to look for someone to blame on Gu Lingsha’s behalf?” Xi Xiaye’s voice sounded hoarse and tired.
“What do you mean? I just wanted to see who it is, and then I’ll decide if there’s a need to look into it!”
