Lu Sijian was amazed by the He family's affected manner.

The floor where He Jinhuan was located had been reserved by the He family, and outsiders were not allowed to enter; someone had to greet them before they could go up.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, two bodyguards were standing in the elevator lobby.

There were also bodyguards guarding the access points on both sides, who were serious and strictly guarded.

As soon as Lu Sijian entered through the glass door, a nurse with a temperature gun asked her to have her temperature taken and then disinfected her entire body.

She can understand that some special departments may have requirements in this regard, but full-body disinfection is too much, isn't it?

However, after glancing at the nurse, she decided not to make things difficult for the worker and let the nurse spray disinfectant alcohol on her.

Secretary Zhou then walked over, glanced at Lu Sijian from head to toe, and smiled meaningfully, "Miss Lu, this way please, our young master is waiting for you."

He had been worried that Lu Sijian wouldn't come, but now it seems he had been overthinking it.

Which woman wouldn't be tempted to marry into the He family?

She even wore a white dress, looking particularly gentle and harmless. Her clothes were completely transparent, so there was no way she could hide anything, saving him the trouble of searching her body.

If only they had listened earlier, they would have been in a much worse situation. They almost made things awkward for both sides.

"Miss Lu, you look beautiful in that dress today," Secretary Zhou commented. "Keep dressing like this from now on; the young master likes it."

He was willing to set aside past grievances and take the initiative to extend an olive branch.

Lu Sijian paused slightly. She wore this dress because Wang Ma had chosen it for her, not to curry favor with anyone.

She could also tell that this person wanted to get closer to her.

Lu Sijian smiled and said, "Really? I think Secretary Zhou's veins must be very beautiful too."

Her gaze lingered on Secretary Zhou's neck for two seconds.

Was that a compliment? Secretary Zhou met Lu Sijian's gaze and inexplicably felt a chill run down her neck; the suffocating feeling of being choked and having her veins pressed yesterday surged into her heart...

"you……"

"Sister." A voice interrupted Secretary Zhou.

Secretary Zhou looked up and hurriedly went to help He Jinhuan, "Young Master, why did you come out?"

He Jinhuan had bandages on her head, was wearing a hospital gown, and looked rather pale, but she appeared exceptionally refined.

He smiled a little embarrassedly, "I heard my sister was coming, and I thought I shouldn't be impolite, so I had the caregiver help me over to greet her."

Secretary Zhou glanced at Lu Sijian with a hint of envy. This woman was too lucky to have her young master so attentive to her.

No wonder he dared to speak like that just now; he must have been arrogant because he was favored.

He felt a deep sense of crisis about his future career. What if Lu Sijian still held a grudge against him and started whispering in the young master's ear?

Although He Jinhuan only took a few steps, the group of people made a big fuss and carefully escorted him to the hospital bed.

Lu Sijian didn't want to waste time. "What do you want from me?"

He Jinhuan gave a signal with her eyes, indicating that everyone else should leave.

Secretary Zhou remained standing still: "Young Master, I think it would be better if I stayed with you."

He Jinhuan frowned. "Get out!"

"I think you'd better leave Secretary Zhou here; he clearly doesn't trust me," Lu Sijian said casually, gently fiddling with the bouquet of roses on the table.

That hand was very white, with slender, delicate fingers, so beautiful it seemed like the most perfect work of art.

Who would have thought that the same hands, holding a knife, could kill a dog with a single blow?

He Jinhuan's eyes deepened, and he turned to look at Secretary Zhou, "Get out!"

Secretary Zhou quickly left, still feeling a bit aggrieved as he went. Why did the young master suddenly get angry?

Compared to her unpredictable father, He Jinhuan, the heir, was much more mild-mannered, refined, and polite, making her well-liked by her colleagues.

Only a very few core members knew that once this young master got angry, he was far more terrifying than He's father.

Secretary Zhou once dealt with a maid whose entire leg was necrotic and needed amputation; it's hard to imagine that this injury was caused by He Jinhuan's kick.

Anyone in the He family with a brain knows that when the young master is angry, they should stay far away.

He was somewhat gloating. He wouldn't remind Lu Sijian of these things; it would be best if she broke a taboo and got a good scolding from the young master.

-

Lu Sijian looked at the closed door: "You just let Secretary Zhou leave like that? Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?"

He Jinhuan looked at her with a smile, as if very curious, "Then what will you do to me?"

Lu Sijian chuckled: "I'll smash your dog head in."

He Jinhuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Ah Jian, you're so funny! But you would never do that to me, right? We're the same kind of people."

Lu Sijian sighed, thinking to herself, "Why does no one believe me when I tell the truth?"

"What kind of 'same kind'? You've got it wrong. And don't call me A-Jian, and don't call me 'little sister,' it sounds disgusting, okay?"

He Jinhuan was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to suddenly turn hostile, but he quickly put on a smiling face.

"So what would you like me to call you? We're getting married soon, so we should call each other more affectionately. Should I call you 'baby'?"

Lu Sijian reached out and grabbed his collar: "Try disgusting me again? Back then, I overheard people discussing injecting the prince with rabies serum through the wall, and I thought it was Zhu Jinming's idea, but wasn't it you who was the mastermind behind it?"

He Jinhuan was genuinely surprised: "So it was you!"

Lu Sijian keenly sensed something was off about his words. "Who do you think it is?"

"No one, and besides, baby, you've misunderstood me." He Jinhuan blinked, looking completely innocent.

Lu Sijian frowned: "You think it's Lu Lingbai, right? What did my father say back then? He pinned those accusations on Lu Lingbai?"

Releasing a dog to bite someone is completely different from releasing a rabid dog to bite someone.

The former, since it did not cause any terrible consequences, can be presumably dismissed as a prank; but the latter was outright murder.

When Lu Sijian heard the discussion, she was too busy saving lives to check who the two people were.

Making accusations after the fact, without evidence, will only lead to being targeted.

In order to protect his daughter, Lu Ting may have changed his story, obscuring the accuser as Lu Lingbai.

Anyway, Lu Lingbo has already lost his memory, so there's no way to verify what he said before he fainted.

Lu Sijian tightened her grip suddenly, and He Jinhuan's neck tightened, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"You targeted Lu Lingbo because you mistakenly believed he was the one who overheard your secret, right?"

Her hands were very cold, but He Jinhuan's neck was warm and delicate. He looked at her with a smile, as docile as a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Lu Sijian's eyes remained unmoved, her fingers tightening their grip, and He Jinhuan's face gradually flushed red...

The ease and confidence in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by panic.

The feeling of suffocation finally made him reach for the call button on the bedside table. It was answered in a second. "Hello, Young Master He, what can I do for you?"

Lu Sijian remained unmoved, continuing to tighten her grip...

He Jinhuan became increasingly flustered and forcefully swept towards the bedside table when Lu Sijian suddenly let go.

With a "bang," He Jinhuan's hand hit the edge of the bed, and she gasped in pain.
