Old Master Zhao spoke with great anger, his gaze fixed intently on Zhao Sheng's retreating figure as he spoke.

His powerful eyes were filled with anger, and the wrinkles around his eyes, etched with the marks of time, gave him an air of inexplicable heaviness.

Zhao Sheng was lying on the bed, showing no reaction.

No matter how outrageous Old Master Zhao's words were, Zhao Sheng remained unmoved.

But when she heard Old Master Zhao say that Zhao Xiang's death was related to her, she suddenly got up from the bed and glared at Old Master Zhao.

His eyes were filled with deep dissatisfaction.

She can't say a word now; she can only express her anger through her eyes.

Zhao Xiang's death had nothing to do with her.

She has always been bold and responsible in everything she does.

Although she has resented Zhao Xiang all these years, feeling that Zhao Xiang stole the other half of her life.

Sometimes I even wondered why it wasn't Zhao Xiang who was sent away.

But she never had any intention of killing Zhao Xiang.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's current behavior, Old Master Zhao's face darkened. Although he was not in good physical condition, he was not willing to back down and did not support himself to get up. His face was full of disgust.

"What, you still want to lay a hand on this old man? Zhao Sheng, I want to see how much power you still have. Helping outsiders against your own family, and you still have the nerve to talk back? You heartless bastard."

Zhao Sheng listened to Old Master Zhao's words and gave a mocking smile.

If she were truly ruthless and heartless, she would completely destroy the Zhao family.

If she were truly heartless, she wouldn't have given the injection to Old Master Zhao.

In their eyes, she was always the only guilty one, while they had never done anything wrong.

Upon seeing this, Madam Zhao's expression turned extremely distressed.

Her gaze fell on Zhao Sheng, and she quickly shook her head.

"Sheng'er, apologize to your grandfather."

Zhao Sheng smiled coldly. She didn't say a word, but Madam Zhao told her to apologize to Old Master Zhao.

From beginning to end, she was the one who was abandoned.

Old Master Zhao still couldn't realize his mistake.

It was he who caused the tragedy between her and Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Sheng resisted silently. Old Master Zhao was extremely angry and wanted to get up to teach Zhao Sheng a lesson, but he was old and every movement was very slow.

Even if he wanted to teach Zhao Sheng a lesson at this moment, he was too weak and powerless.

Zhao Sheng glanced indifferently at Old Master Zhao, then continued to lie on the bed.

She is a complete and utter failure.

When Madam Zhao saw that Zhao Sheng had lay down and hadn't argued with Old Master Zhao, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Madam Zhao asked the doctor to change the wards for Zhao Sheng and Old Master Zhao.

Now they all dislike each other, and it's very difficult for Madam Zhao to take care of them. She's afraid that when she leaves, Old Master Zhao will take action against Zhao Sheng.

Zhao Sheng, from beginning to end, never took him, the grandfather, seriously.

At that time, Old Master Zhao will probably be so angry that he will die.

Zhao Sheng lay alone on the hospital bed, gazing blankly at the sky outside the window.

She had planned everything, but now none of her plans were in place.

In the past, many people tried to curry favor with the Zhao family, but now that the Zhao family is in trouble, the hospital rooms of Old Master Zhao and Zhao Sheng are unusually quiet.

When it was lunchtime, Madam Zhao went to Zhao Xiang's ward and saw Zhao Sheng looking out the window with a confused look in his eyes, like a child who couldn't find his way.

Madam Zhao saw this and felt very sorry for her.

She then walked over to Zhao Sheng and whispered something.

"Sheng'er, Mom is going to buy some things now. If you have time later, go and check on your grandfather to see if there's anything going on."

Zhao Sheng seemed not to have heard Madam Zhao's words, her gaze fixed on the window, her expression unchanged.

After Madam Zhao left, the door to Zhao Sheng's ward was quickly pushed open from the outside.

Zhao Sheng assumed that Madam Zhao had returned and did not turn around.

But the person who came stood at the door of the ward and didn't speak for a long time.

This was not Madam Zhao's style. Zhao Sheng turned her head and saw Lin Hao standing at the door of her ward.

Zhao Sheng remained calm, his expression serene.

Her gaze fell on Lin Hao, her eyes showing no change whatsoever.

The two looked at each other from this distance.

Seeing Zhao Sheng's current state, Lin Hao said calmly.

"I heard from Qingran that you were here, so I came to check on you."

Zhao Sheng listened to Lin Hao's words and nodded, her expression remaining largely unchanged, her eyes calm.

Lin Hao knew she couldn't say a word, so he walked over to Zhao Sheng and sat down on the edge of her bed, speaking in a low voice.

"Should I call you Xiang'er now, or should I call you Sheng'er?"

Zhao Sheng listened to Lin Hao's words, pursed her lips slightly, and her eyes became a little red.

But she was still able to control her emotions and prevent tears from falling from her eyes.

Lin Hao looked at Zhao Sheng with a calm expression.

Zhao Sheng looked at Lin Hao quietly without saying a word.

"I know you can't speak right now, but we will develop a drug as soon as possible so that you can speak again soon."

"As long as you cooperate with us and trust us, we will not let anything happen to you."

As Zhao Sheng listened to Lin Hao's words, a look of pity flashed in her eyes.

She immediately shook her head.

it's useless.

None of this mattered.

If the plan fails.

They won't let her live.

The people in the organization won't let her live either.

Because all of this involves far too many things.

She knows far too much.

Her only consolation right now is that Zhao Xiang is still alive.

Since Lin Qingran and the others knew about their plan from the beginning, their plan was bound to fail.

The organization will never admit defeat, so it will definitely eliminate any potential threats.

Especially someone like her, who knows a lot and has already left that organization, will definitely be the first to be eliminated.

Lin Hao frowned slightly when he saw that Zhao Sheng just shook his head, as if there was nothing to talk about between them.

Seeing this, Lin Hao didn't say much. He simply got up from his seat, reached out and rubbed Zhao Sheng's head as usual, and left without saying a word.

As Zhao Sheng watched Lin Hao leave, she took a deep breath, and tears streamed down her face.

What she had been able to hold back just moments before, now burst into tears because of Lin Hao's small gesture.

Throughout the entire process, Lin Hao never uttered a single word of reproach towards her.

This caused Zhao Sheng immense inner torment.

Lin Hao's gentleness was Zhao Sheng's natural nemesis.

She would rather everyone criticized her and looked down on her like Old Master Zhao did, because that would probably make her feel much better.

But Lin Hao knew perfectly well that all of this was their conspiracy.

The reason he and Shengxia broke up was simply because she interfered!

But Lin Hao remained gentle with her.

It was as if they had never known what she had done.

Zhao Sheng wept silently. In the cold and quiet hospital room, her frail figure appeared exceptionally fragile.

Lin Hao walked out of Zhao Sheng's ward and met Sheng Xia in the hospital lobby.

Sheng Xia came to handle Gong Juncheng's discharge procedures.

Seeing Lin Hao walk over from the ward, Sheng Xia was slightly taken aback, thinking that Lin Hao hadn't contacted her during this time.

And because of this incident, she began to confront her own inner self.

Although she loved Lin Hao very much, she couldn't bear the responsibility of his resignation. She worried that in the coming years, Lin Hao would resent her for losing his chance for career advancement.

She worries that their current relationship will change as the daily grind of life, including finances and household chores, takes its toll.

She saw Lin Hao's gaze fall on her, forced a faint smile, glanced at Lin Hao quietly, and then looked away.

For her, this is the best possible outcome.

Lin Hao has returned to his job and has even been promoted.

His future will be bright, but she won't be there for him.

Her future will also be full of hope, but the man by her side in the future may very well not be Lin Hao.

Sheng Xia, holding her discharge certificate, walked past Lin Hao. Throughout the walk, the two only glanced at each other without exchanging any words.
