Wen Shengsheng lowered her head, seemingly lost in thought. After a moment of hesitation, she whispered, "I'm almost better now. I'll go back to my room first. Young Master Gong, you should get some rest. Thank you for today."

Gong Xiaochen paused in drying his hair. "Not touching it anymore?"

Wen Shengsheng chuckled dryly, "You've been busy all day, so I won't bother you anymore."

After speaking, she moved her legs, preparing to get out of bed.

Gong Xiaochen continued drying his hair, saying indifferently, "I don't know if Su Rui has any backup plans. If you encounter any danger after you return to your room, remember to call the police yourself. I've been busy all day and may not have time to deal with you."

Wen Shengsheng paused, and after a moment, she pulled her foot back.

"Then I'll stay." She clutched the blanket beneath her. "But you'll have to sleep on the sofa for a bit."

Gong Xiaochen thought he had misheard, and his sharp eyes swept over him. "What did you say?"

Wen Shengsheng thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Gong, although you saved me, today's incident was entirely caused by you. Su Rui wanted to seek revenge on you, so he targeted me and Liang Fei."

On a deeper level, it means that I'm not blaming you; I've already been very generous.

Gong Xiaochen was stunned for a moment and found himself speechless.

Having been busy all this time without drinking water, Wen Shengsheng was extremely thirsty. She stood up, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, and twisted it, only to find that her wrist strength had not yet recovered.

She pursed her lips and presented it to Gong Xiaochen, "Please use your precious hands to open this for me, I want to drink some water."

Gong Xiaochen twitched his lips and reached out to open it for her.

"How is Liang Fei? Aren't you going to go and check on her?" she asked while drinking water.

"No need." Gong Xiaochen sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette. "I ordered a male escort for her."

Wen Shengsheng paused in her drinking motion.

The doctor arrived at the hotel a while ago; she only needed one injection, and Liang Fei should have done the same.

This person really knows how to lie without even opening their mouth.

She glanced at him. "I think Su Rui is really targeting you. How are you going to handle this farce today? Do you need me to call the police?"

Gong Xiaochen's expression darkened upon hearing Su Rui's name.

"You don't need to worry about it. Chen Ze will take you back to Beijing tomorrow. I'll handle things here."

"You yourself!?" Wen Shengsheng exclaimed in surprise. "He can do whatever he wants at the White Dove Hotel, so he must be very powerful in Haicheng. Can you really do it yourself?"

"Don't you know whether I'm capable or not?" He raised an eyebrow, his smile playful.

Wen Shengsheng choked on her water, slammed the water bottle down on the table, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You...you really are a beast in human clothing!"

Gong Xiaochen chuckled, "Take this as a compliment."

As she lowered her eyes, Wen Shengsheng noticed the baton on the table.

I couldn't help but ask, "That day at the M Hotel, I sensed you were a bit nervous when you met Su Rui. Did you suspect he might be targeting you? Is there some kind of conflict between you two?"

"Am I nervous?" he asked back.

Wen Shengsheng nodded, "Yes."

Gong Xiaochen's face darkened. "The one who should be nervous is that bastard!"

Seeing that he looked displeased whenever Su Rui was mentioned, Wen Shengsheng didn't want to discuss it further. Anyway, after tonight, this matter should have nothing to do with her anymore.

"I heard the doctor say that he needs to take my blood back for further testing. Is there anything special about the medicine I took today? I feel that it is completely different from the medicine I took last time."

"Just in case." Gong Xiaochen tilted his head and smiled frivolously: "Don't worry, if you really become crippled, I'll take care of you."

Wen Shengsheng: "......"

Since she was in Gong Xiaochen's room, Wen Shengsheng felt embarrassed to take a bath, so she simply washed up and prepared to lie down and sleep.

Gong Xiaochen had already changed into his pajamas, was lying on the sofa, smoking, and looking at his tablet.

Wen Shengsheng glanced at him and realized that he was actually looking at the stock chart.

"You're interested in this too?"

"Hmm," he replied lazily.

She hadn't taken her phone or bag with her when she left the restaurant, so she couldn't check them now.

Seeing Gong Xiaochen peeking at it, she felt a sudden itch in her heart and leaned her body a little closer.

Unexpectedly, Gong Xiaochen seemed uncomfortable lying down, so he turned his body to the side, turning the tablet so that it was facing away from her.

She can't see anything anymore.

Wen Shengsheng frowned and asked in a low voice, "Young Master Gong, when will Chen Ze be able to get my phone and bag back?"

"Tomorrow morning then," Gong Xiaochen said in a nonchalant tone. "He has to clean up the mess and won't be back until he's done. If you're in a hurry, you can go to the White Dove Restaurant now."

"..."

Then forget it.

Wen Shengsheng used all the money in her futures account to trade soybeans.

According to my memories from my previous life, starting next Tuesday, the climate abroad will change drastically, affecting the soybean harvest and causing prices to surge for several days.

Therefore, she had already placed multiple orders, aiming to make about 100% profit from her cost price to the final price.

3 yuan instantly becomes 6 yuan!

Although I don't think it will go astray, I feel more at ease knowing I can keep an eye on the charts.

Wen Shengsheng hesitated for a moment, "Can I look at them with you? I want to see the products I'm interested in."

Gong Xiaochen moved the tablet away, revealing his cold and stern face, and directly refused, "This sofa is only big enough for one person to lie down on, there's no room for you."

Based on the principle that she had already slept with the bed and there was no need to be shy, she lifted the blanket to the side and patted the bed.

"This bed is big enough for you to squeeze in."

"You think I'll go just because you tell me to?" He refused decisively, "No!"

Wen Shengsheng checked her watch; it was 10:30 PM, and the night session would end in half an hour.

"Then what will it take for you to come over?"

Gong Xiaochen glanced over, "Beg me?"

......

Wen Shengsheng discovered it.

This person is really petty.

Her eyes twitched, and she took a deep breath. "Please, Young Master Gong, you're the best, please help me."

Upon hearing this, Gong Xiaochen smiled, his usually cold and stern face becoming more lively.

He put out his cigarette and strode over to lie down.

Finally able to check the market, Wen Shengsheng didn't bother to argue with his almost childish behavior. She quickly tapped on the tablet and started observing the trends of soybeans and other agricultural products.

She watched it very carefully.

Unbeknownst to them, once they were in bed, Gong Xiaochen's eyes stopped looking at the tablet and instead stared straight at her.

Whether it was the doctor's medicine or not, Wen Shengsheng was so sleepy before 11 o'clock that she fell asleep in a daze.

Despite the bloody and chaotic night, she slept soundly this time.

The only annoying thing was that there seemed to be mosquitoes in the room, and her face and mouth were always itchy.
