Pei Zigui recognized the phone number at a glance, a look of impatience and surprise flashed across his brows, and he pressed the answer button.

"Why are you calling my wife for no reason?"

Li Yanzhou on the other end of the phone said in a tone so low that it was depressing: "Your phone is turned off."

Pei Zigui glanced at the dark screen of his mobile phone, forgetting that he had used up all the battery by playing music just now. Thinking of the tenderness just now, the man's expression was subtle, and he was immersed in the pleasure of reminiscing.

"So, what do you want from me?"

His voice was full of satisfaction, which made Li Yanzhou even more annoyed.

"Tell your people to seal up the hotel."

Pei Zigui raised his eyebrows, "Now?"

Li Yanzhou was on his way to the hotel. He ran through several red lights and had thrown his tie aside long ago.

"Shen Zhiyan may have gone to the hotel to look for Jiang Ruoli. No matter what method you use, now! Immediately! Immediately! Keep an eye on her for me."

If someone else had heard Li Yanzhou's aura, they would have been scared out of their wits. But Pei Zigui could hear the panic and helplessness in the man's tone.

He glanced at the little woman sleeping soundly on the bed, then walked out of the bedroom in a low voice.

"Is this your attitude when asking for help?"

On the other side, Li Yanzhou leaned against the car and sighed imperceptibly. He pressed his eyebrows, and his eyes were red from not sleeping all night.

"Zigui, I..."

The dull voice was filled with an indecipherable sense of dejection.

"Okay, come here quickly. Even if she threatens to die, I won't force her to stay for my wife's sake. You know I only listen to my wife."

A hoarse voice almost inaudible came from the other end of the phone: "Thank you."

Not long ago, at about the same time as Pei Zigui, Li Yanzhou had just finished dealing with everything and returned to the hospital. He thought Shen Zhiyan was still asleep at this time, so he deliberately stepped lightly when he entered the ward.

The ward was very quiet. In order to let her have a good sleep, he pulled the curtains tightly before leaving to block out the light that wanted to come in.

Afraid that she would smell the cigarette smoke on him, Li Yanzhou changed into new clothes before coming.

Uncle Li's words made him feel extremely empty and restless, and he urgently needed Shen Zhiyan's kiss to comfort him.

The man bent down, trying to find the woman's face.

Fall through.

Li Yanzhou frowned and turned on the night light. The empty bed was empty except for the warm quilt.

"What about people?"

The falcon's eyes exuded a cold chill as he suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Fuck you, where is she?"

Shen Zhiyan still had injuries on her body and had endured a night of fright and torture. Where could she go with her delicate body?

Li Yanzhou couldn't help but think of what Uncle Li had said. Every word was like a sharp nail hammering at his heart.

Shen Zhiyan, I won't allow you to leave me. No.

The Maybach braked suddenly in front of the hotel entrance. It could be seen that Pei Zigui's men acted quickly and had already blocked the hotel in advance, allowing only people in and out.

Shen Zhiyan did come to look for Jiang Ruoli, but she noticed something was wrong as soon as she entered the elevator. There were two bodyguards in black standing at the entrance to the top floor, and they looked very familiar.

Aren’t these the two bodyguards of the Pei family?

The two bodyguards looked around as if searching for something, until she clearly heard the conversation between the two.

"Do you think Miss Shen will really come to see Madam?"

"Who knows? Stop chatting. We caused such a big mess yesterday that we weren't fired because my wife interceded for us. Do you still want to have 11 months' salary deducted?"

"Don't worry, she can't escape now that she's here. The hotel is sealed off."

Shen Zhiyan stopped halfway and changed direction.

Soon, more men in black poured into the hotel and stood at the key entrances of each floor, keeping their eyes and ears open.

"What about people?"

Pei Zigui glanced up and said calmly, "I didn't see anyone."

Li Yanzhou understood what was going on and strode onto the rooftop, unable to hide his anxiety.

In a corner of the rooftop, a woman sat on the ground, hugging her legs, staring into the distance, not knowing what she was thinking. She was far away from the edge, but looking at her from behind, it was still shocking.

As long as she wanted, it would only take a few seconds for her to jump over the glass fence and down.

But Shen Zhiyan never thought of hurting herself.

After waking up from the nightmare, her mind was in a mess, with thousands of thoughts tangled together like tangled wool with nowhere to go.

She wanted to calm down, but the ward was obviously not a good place because Li Yanzhou could come back at any time and disrupt her thoughts.

Her only place to stay in Hong Kong was No. 1 Haiyue Bay. Knowing that she was missing, Li Yanzhou would definitely call Haiyue Bay as soon as possible. As for her grandmother, she didn't want to disturb the old lady's recuperation.

Then, only the courtesy is left.

Shen Zhiyan originally wanted to talk to Jiang Ruoli, but she didn't expect things to turn out like this.

Now that things have come to this, she might as well lock herself up alone, calm down, and reconsider the relationship between her and Li Yanzhou.

The relationship between her and Li Yanzhou will end one day. When that time comes, the nail will be pulled out of the body, leaving flesh and blood, causing a wound that is difficult to heal.

Now, there is another layer of bond between the two, forming a barrier that is difficult to cross.

Was her father really the murderer who caused the death of Li Yanzhou's father? And was her parents' car accident really the work of the former head of the Li family, Mr. Li?

Can Uncle Li's words be trusted? Is it the truth, or is it just to sway her heart?

No, Dad would never do such a thing. Uncle Li was lying to her.

But was my parents’ car accident really a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?

"Shen Zhiyan!"

A familiar voice full of anxiety came from behind, gradually approaching.

Shen Zhiyan turned around subconsciously. She hadn't figured out how to face Li Yanzhou yet. After sitting for too long, she stood up suddenly and her whole body swayed.

Li Yanzhou immediately reached out to hug her, but Shen Zhiyan blurted out, "Don't come over here!"

He slowed down his tone and spoke in an unnaturally gentle voice, "Okay, I won't come over, so please don't go over there, okay?"

The voice was trembling slightly and the outstretched hand was also shaking.

Seeing that the woman was only wearing a thin hospital gown, Li Yanzhou unbuttoned her coat one by one and took it off.

"Yan Yan, it's windy on the top floor, can you please put on your clothes first? Don't make me worry."

Shen Zhiyan did not respond to the man's words. She looked straight at Li Yanzhou, curled her lips and smiled lightly, but that smile was full of alienation.

"Li Yanzhou, I'm going to ask you a question, and you answer me truthfully."

Li Yanzhou naturally guessed what Shen Zhiyan was going to ask. He just felt his throat itchy, and after a while, he responded in a hoarse voice, "Okay."

"Do you know what happened between my father and your father?"

Please, Li Yanzhou, tell me you don’t know.

"know."

Shen Zhiyan held onto the decorations beside her, and a layer of mist suddenly appeared in her eyes.

"Your father's death and my parents' car accident were not accidents, right?"

The air stagnated and the scene fell into silence.

"say something."

Her voice was already tinged with an almost unnoticeable tone of crying.

Li Yanzhou licked his lips, took a small step forward, and stared at the woman in front of him with his black eyes: "Yes."

It's not an accident.

Shen Zhiyan smiled bitterly and murmured to herself, "So it was really my father who killed your father, and your grandfather planned to kill my parents?"

"That's not the case, Yanyan, listen to me..."

Seeing Li Yanzhou approaching, Shen Zhiyan took two steps back in excitement, "Then tell me, what is the truth? Tell me!"

The moment he saw her tears falling, Li Yanzhou could no longer hold back and decisively stepped forward to pull her back into his arms.

She was shaking and couldn't stop shaking.

Li Yanzhou wrapped the person in his coat with trembling hands, his face showing a panic that had never been seen before.

"Listen to me, it's not like that. Give me some time, I'm still investigating, and I will definitely find the truth for you."

He tried to hold the person tighter with his trembling hands, but the person in his arms became heavier and softer, and kept falling to the ground.

"Doctor! Where's the doctor?"

Li Yanzhou picked up the person who fainted again and ran out.
