On the rewards for successfully defeating a boss

He looked up at the bodyguard standing in front of the door, smiled awkwardly, and felt a little embarrassed.

"Well..." Chen Qian lifted the quilt and put on his shoes, and said for the sake of conversation, "Brother, I don't think my digestion is very good. I'm going out for a walk."

"Oh, okay. Come back early." The eldest brother's expression was also a little unnatural.

Chen Qian wandered aimlessly alone in the hospital corridor, occasionally passing by a few doctors and nurses who were busy and hurried.

The corridor is very long, and there is a stairwell at each end for going up and down the stairs. One of them is located a little past Chen Qian's ward.

After he came out of his single room, he paced slowly for more than a minute and walked to the stairwell on the other side.

He sat down on a bench opposite the heavy fire door, his eyes wandering unconsciously, his mind blank.

It has been a long time since I last had such a rare leisurely and comfortable time, and Chen Qian suddenly felt a little melancholy.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and saw a very neat number eight in his sight. This was the eighth floor.

Suddenly, an idea popped up in his mind, and he asked himself: Should I go upstairs and take a look? To the ninth floor.

Why go upstairs? Chen Qian was a little puzzled.

But he had nothing to do now, and he was not willing to go back and look at the macho escort in dismay.

So he got up and went into the stairwell.

The elevators were all running, but none of them were on this floor. Chen Qian didn't care, so he opened the fire door and took the stairs.

The hospital staircase is different from other places because it is not quiet. Every once in a while, you can hear footsteps coming up and down the stairs from other floors.

Chen Qian climbed up slowly and turned the corner. He saw a huge black number nine painted on the wall, with its outline outlined in sharp corners.

"…We've reached the ninth floor."

He heard the chime of the elevator stopping in the stairwell.

When walking out of the stairwell, Chen Qian was still recalling what was on the ninth floor.

There are several examination rooms here, and the doctor who checked his bones before seems to be working here too.

He wandered around the new corridor and met an elderly man in a wheelchair and four doctors and nurses who were doing their ward rounds.

Chen Qian was already halfway through the corridor when he finally figured out the motive for going upstairs.

His mood was a little complicated, and his movement of turning around was a little awkward.

Chen Qian wasn't sure if the person at the end of the corridor saw him, but he didn't seem to care.

He walked hurriedly and disappeared into the corridor in a moment.

……

"You're still exposed to the wind. When you came out, you said you had a serious fever, almost 40 degrees." Shi Xixi's tone was calm and emotionless.

"The room is a bit stuffy." Chi Mu turned his head to glance at the half-open window glass in front of him, frowned, and turned around hesitantly, but he only saw a few doctors and nurses who were in a hurry and discussing work.

He was stunned for a moment, then continued, "How is Chi Yuyuan?"

"His body functions are fine, and the remaining medication has almost been eliminated, but he won't wake up." Shi Xixi looked out the window at the lights of countless homes and the shadowy traffic. "He may have to lie like this for the rest of his life."

"Really? Then there's nothing we can do." Chi Mu didn't have any thoughts on this matter and acted very calmly.

After all, he didn't have any extra feelings for the other people in the Chi family, and the two of them hardly spoke to each other before Chi Yuyuan got into trouble.

"Do you have a plan for what's next?" Shi Xixi asked, tilting her head. "After all, Chi Zheng is still in the emergency room. The Chi family is leaderless right now. Who knows, someone might take advantage of the chaos and do something."

Chi Mu was silent for a moment, as if thinking about this problem. He slowly said, "I didn't expect things to turn out like this. Let's take it one step at a time."

"Yeah. Well, I have to go back first. Yu Bai is still waiting for me at home. You should take care of yourself." Shi Xixi closed the window to block out the cool air outside. "Have a good rest."

"Okay, be careful on the road."
