Zhang Kaifeng frowned and said uncertainly, "How could Xiao Jincheng control the timing so perfectly and strike before we could? Where did he get the information?"

Xiao Mingyang heard the hidden meaning in Zhang Kaifeng's words and said unhappily, "Are you questioning whether my people have leaked the information?"

"I didn't say that."

"But that's what you think in your heart!" Xiao Mingyang said coldly, "Zhang Kaifeng, if you don't trust me, then do your own thing! I don't have to cooperate with you!"

Zhang Kaifeng had been trying to control his emotions, but seeing Xiao Mingyang's constant rudeness, he couldn't hold back any longer and angrily said, "If it weren't for Xuan'er, I wouldn't be working with someone as overbearing and unreasonable as you! I thought you loved Xuan'er very much, but I didn't expect you were just like this!"

Staring fiercely at Zhang Kaifeng, Xiao Mingyang shouted as if he wanted to eat him: "What did you say!"

Zhang Kaifeng refused to back down. He stared back at Xiao Mingyang and said coldly, "Isn't that right? If you really cared about Xuan'er, you wouldn't care what others said. You would just focus on finding ways to rescue that child! But look at what you've done now!?"

If it were before, Xiao Mingyang would have definitely beaten Zhang Kaifeng severely. But now, he was breathing heavily, but he slowly calmed down.

Zhang Kaifeng was right. Now was not the time for a fight. He knew exactly what kind of person Xiao Jincheng was. Every minute Xuan'er stayed in his hands, the more danger she would face.

After taking a deep breath, Xiao Mingyang calmed down again. Looking at Zhang Kaifeng, he slowly said, "I can guarantee that the news didn't leak out from my side. I was worried that Xiao Jincheng would use my people to incite rebellion, so I didn't tell them who his accomplices were. We only communicated through coded letters. If any of them discovered the spy, they would eliminate him immediately."

Zhang Kaifeng knew that Xiao Mingyang disliked him, but even with such deep hatred, he managed to control it in the blink of an eye and calmly analyzed the current situation. He couldn't help but admire this man in his heart.

Retracting his gaze, Zhang Kaifeng said, "If it's not your fault, then it's unlikely on my end either, because he doesn't know the whole plan at all and is just following my orders."

After hearing this, Xiao Mingyang pondered for a moment and said, "It seems that Xiao Jincheng's suspicion has protected him once again."

"After Yuqing recovers, Xuan'er's affairs will definitely no longer be concealed. If we can't bring Xuan'er back now, I'm afraid we will have to tell Yuqing the truth."

Thinking of this, Zhang Kaifeng sighed deeply. He could fully imagine Yuqing's sad look.

This was also what Xiao Mingyang was worried about. He didn't want Yuqing to suffer such pain just after she recovered. Reaching out and scratching his hair, Xiao Mingyang said in a hoarse voice, "If it doesn't work, I will force Xuan'er back!"

Zhang Kaifeng hurriedly stopped Xiao Mingyang and said, "No, what if Xiao Jincheng is determined to hurt Xuan'er? We can't take that risk!"

"What should we do? Tell Yuqing that Xuan'er was kidnapped by Xiao Jincheng? Yuqing won't be able to bear it!"

After thinking it over carefully, Zhang Kaifeng said, "Perhaps, we can use Lilith to complete this impossible task!"

Lilith?

Xiao Mingyang's eyes darkened. He said, "Lilith is such a fool. She's obsessed with controlling the Xiao family and replacing Xiao Jincheng. She must be seeing Xuan'er as a thorn in her side. If we can form an alliance with her and offer her huge benefits, we might achieve unexpected results."

"That's right, she's addicted to drugs now, making her even easier to control." Zhang Kaifeng looked at Xiao Mingyang and said, "Now, it's time for your substitute to come into play!"

Xiao Mingyang narrowed his eyes at Zhang Kaifeng and said, "It turns out that it was you who made Lilith become neither human nor ghost!"

Zhang Kaifeng laughed coldly and said, "She has hurt Yuqing time and time again, and I'm still keeping her alive. It's already a blessing to her!"

Glancing at Zhang Kaifeng meaningfully, Xiao Mingyang turned around, looked at the crowd gradually dispersing outside, and said, "You're quite compatible with my temper. If it weren't for Yuqing, I'd be willing to make friends with you. Unfortunately..."

Xiao Mingyang did not finish the rest of his words, but Zhang Kaifeng understood what he meant, because what Xiao Mingyang was thinking was exactly what he wanted to say.

Both enemies and friends, this is the state of the two people.

……

Three days later, Lin Yuqing was transferred from the ICU to the general ward and slowly regained consciousness.

Lying on the hospital bed, Lin Yuqing looked around with a dazed look, as if she didn't know where she was. Raising her hand, Lin Yuqing gently stroked the gauze on her forehead, a look of surprise flashing across her eyes.

"What's wrong with me?"

Zhenzhen curled up in Xiao Mingyang's arms, thinking that Lin Yuqing had lost her memory again. Her heart ached and she tilted her neck back and cried aggrievedly.

Seeing Zhenzhen's pitiful appearance, Lin Yuqing frowned, stared at Xiao Mingyang and said unhappily: "Mingyang, Zhenzhen is crying, why don't you know how to comfort her!"

Hearing Lin Yuqing calling out his name, Xiao Mingyang was ecstatic, but cautious, and asked: "Yuqing, do you know who I am?"

After giving Xiao Mingyang a blank look, Lin Yuqing wanted to sit up and hold her baby in her arms to comfort him. But for some reason, as soon as Lin Yuqing moved, a black mist came over her, causing her to lie back down helplessly.

"You haven't recovered yet, so don't move!"

Hearing the order, Lin Yuqing looked in the direction of the voice and asked weakly, "What's wrong with me?"

Dongfang Bai had been paying close attention to Lin Yuqing's reaction. Seeing that she was thinking clearly and speaking fluently, the worries in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Have you forgotten that you have a tumor in your brain and just had surgery?"

is it?

Lin Yuqing tried hard to recall, but after only thinking a little bit, she felt a headache.

"You just woke up, so you shouldn't overuse your brain." Dongfang Bai noticed Lin Yuqing's discomfort and said quickly, "Let's take it slow. We'll remember everything bit by bit."

Hearing this, Lin Yuqing nodded, then closed her eyes tiredly.

Dongfang Bai signaled everyone to leave immediately so that Yuqing could have a good rest.

Standing outside the ward, Yu Wei couldn't wait to ask, "Dongfang, how is Yuqing recovering?"

"So far, it's pretty good. Also, because she saw Mingyang first, the shock she felt wasn't as strong, which is good for her recovery."

After hearing Dongfang Bai say this, Yu Wei felt much more relieved.

"Okay, you all should go back and rest. Everyone is exhausted these days." Dongfang Bai put his hands in the pockets of his white coat and said, "I'm here to take good care of Yuqing."

Honestly, everyone's nerves had been on edge these past few days, but now that we'd heard the good news and saw Yuqing regain consciousness, we felt a sense of relief. But after relaxing, the fatigue washed over us like a wave of water, spreading throughout our bodies.
