She goes crazy, he'll cover for her; the darling of the group is someone no one dares to mess w

Han Chunxi had never felt so lost and confused in his entire life.

In the business world, she always stands at the top, because her innate business acumen is enough to make her look down on all her peers.

But when it comes to her daughter, she is a failure who can't even pass the minimum standard.

Thinking back to what her daughter had said to her in the hospital room, and the way she looked at her...

Han Chunxi bit her lip in regret, nodding with forced composure, "Okay, I'll go back and wait. Miaomiao... I'll have to trouble you."

The tears welling up in her eyes were flung into the air with her movements.

Fang Li felt a pang of sadness at the sight and nodded softly, "Yes, don't worry."

After Han Chunxi left, Fang Li also prepared to look for her elsewhere.

But as soon as she turned around, Yu Tian grabbed her from behind, saying, "Searching aimlessly won't get you anywhere."

Fang Li was slightly taken aback and looked at Yu Tian: "So you mean...?"

Yu Tian let go and looked at Chen Yingsheng, who had just finished his phone call, and asked, "Have you looked at the rooftop?"

Chen Yingsheng was slightly taken aback, "You...you should have already seen it?"

"should?"

Fang Li also frowned and looked at Chen Yingsheng.

Chen Yingsheng felt a chill run down his spine and immediately pulled out his walkie-talkie. "I'll have someone go up and check it right now!"

When he made the notification, Yu Tian added, "If no one is found, remember to have the security guard lock the door first, just in case."

Chen Yingsheng glanced at him and nodded, "Okay."

A short while later, the security guards upstairs reported the result: no one was found on the rooftop.

The two couldn't help but look at Yu Tian again.

"Now......"

Before Chen could ask, Yu Tian spoke first: "You said the monitoring system in the VIP ward area was under maintenance, what about the other areas?"

Chen Yingsheng was still stunned when Fang Li's eyes lit up instantly. "That's right, how come I didn't think of that!"

"Dr. Chen! Quick, take us to the monitoring room!"

At this moment, Chen Yingsheng finally realized what was happening and quickly led the two to the monitoring room.

The security guard quickly pulled up the surveillance videos from other floors, and together they searched. Soon, Fang Li spotted Yang Miao in the elevator lobby on the third floor.

Looking at the bright number three above the elevator, Fang Li had a slight doubt in her heart, but then she immediately understood.

"I know where she is!"

Ward 309, third floor of the inpatient department.

Two police officers sat on chairs by the door, inside the ward...

"Azi and Nana, how many classmates have you lied to?"

Yang Miao, dressed in a hospital gown, sat in a chair at the foot of the bed, quietly watching the pale-faced, indifferent boy on the bed.

The two faced each other across the hospital bed, as if there was an invisible barrier between them.

Yan Haoyu was surprised to see Yang Miao return.

The moment she walked in, a strange feeling flashed through his mind—a mix of surprise, confusion, excitement, and...fear.

Yes, he was inexplicably excited and inexplicably afraid.

He was excited because after how he treated her in the private room, she still had the audacity to appear in front of him. She was indeed different from the other girls.

And fear... He blinked, his heart seemed to tell him that he didn't want to see her here, under these circumstances.

The two had been silent since Yang Miao entered, for several minutes, until Yang Miao finally spoke first.

Yan Haoyu's thick eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly, and a dark glint flashed in his eyes before quickly fading away.

"I don't remember." He gave a cold, smirk.

Yang Miao pursed her lips, clenched her hands tightly on her knees, and after a long while, she finally found her voice, "Why did you do this?"

"......"

"Every student at Kyoto University High School understands from the moment they enter the school what getting into the school means: You... shouldn't be like this..."

Yang Miao choked up, but she tried her best to appear calm.

She fought back the tears welling in her eyes and stared at him. "Why...why did you do this?"

Yan Haoyu's eyes were lowered, so Yang Miao couldn't see his expression, but she could sense that he was struggling inside. His hands, clasped together outside the blanket, were clenched tightly, the knuckles so white they looked like they were about to burst through his skin.

"What do you think?"

He gave a cold laugh and suddenly looked up.

Caught off guard, Yang Miao found herself staring directly into those cold, gloomy eyes.

A fleeting sense of fear crossed her mind, and her already pale face paled even more.

Yan Haoyu seemed to sense her fear; a dark glint appeared in his narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes, and the next moment, a slight smile appeared on his lips. "It's all about money."

"..." Yang Miao gripped the back of his hand tightly, trying to calm the fear in his heart.

"I know you come from a wealthy family, otherwise so many people wouldn't have stood up for you that day. How could a rich girl like you, who has never lacked anything since birth, understand how important money is to people like us?"

“I understand,” Yang Miao said.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yan Haoyu's eyes, but it was quickly concealed by his deep, dark pupils.

"You understand?" he said with a sneer.

Yang Miao's dark eyes were serious. "Yes, I understand."

"......"

“It’s not just ordinary people who worry about money; the richer people are, the more they are controlled by money. Since I was born, my parents have paid little attention to my affairs. They always have endless work to do. At first, I didn’t understand. I always said that money was their real daughter. But later, when I saw my father cure one patient after another, my mother close one project after another, and the lives of their employees getting better day by day, I gradually understood.”

Yang Miao's eyes grew more and more determined as he spoke: "Everyone wants to make money, and no one can resist the temptation of money. But should we make money in a down-to-earth manner and with a clear conscience? Some truths may be old, but they have been tested over thousands of years. A gentleman loves money, but he earns it in a proper way. Even elementary school students know what this means. And what about you?"

"What did I do wrong? Ha, so you came all this way just to lecture me?"

"I'm not trying to preach! I just don't understand why you've become like this?"

"Why did it turn out like this? You want to know? Fine, I'll tell you why." Yan Haoyu's eyes turned red as he coldly said, "It's because there are too many people like you in this world who speak so righteously without understanding the realities of the situation! I've had enough of them, I'm disgusted by them!"

"Yang Miao, do you even realize who you're talking to?" Yan Haoyu's eyes suddenly flashed with an evil smirk: "Have you forgotten? Yesterday in the private room... if that troublesome man hadn't come in, you wouldn't have had the chance to play this savior role here."

Yang Miao's pupils twitched violently, and her eyes involuntarily reddened. "Yan Haoyu, you... you shouldn't be like this. Do you know how much I used to envy you?"

"Envious of me?" Yan Haoyu sneered.

Yang Miao: "Although you come from an ordinary family, you have parents who care about you. Although you don't have money, you are so smart. You can understand what the teacher says without much effort. You study so well. I have asked you for help with so many questions, and you explain them so carefully, even more simply and clearly than the teacher explains them. You should have had a different future, so why...?"

"enough!"

As Yan Haoyu's eyes grew colder and colder, Yang Miao moved her lips and her face gradually stiffened.

"If you came to me today just to spout this nonsense, get out of here right now!"
