CEO Vengeful wife

Chapter 33 - First meeting.

"When would she wake up?" The doctors wouldn’t let them in the VIP room asserting she needed rest. Zhao Liying had rushed to the hospital from the studio leaving her work in the middle. No one knew where had she went. Her manager had been calling her like a madman finally forcing her to switch off her cell.

"I don’t know. The doctors said that the injury wasn’t that serious. They have stitched it up. She lost some blood. Might have caused her to pass out. She should have woken up by now."

"About the Su Lanfen..."

"I’ve already contacted my family lawyer. We have evidence. I won’t let her off for hurting our Xiao Hua." Mo family had one of the top lawyers in Beijing. He was trustworthy so he definitely couldn’t be bribed and all his family lived aboard and there was no way to threaten him.

Zhao Liying nodded, though she knew it would not be enough. Su Lanfen belonged to the Su family, the number one in Beijing. At most, they could harm her reputation. But to do more than that... was impossible. She had already tried when Su Lanfen had slandered her. But she couldn’t even harm her reputation.

The two talked about how to deal with Su Lanfen and as they did, they didn’t notice a man intentionally dressed in a casual attire quietly standing in a corner listening to their whole conversation. After the doctor’s assurance, Zhao Liying left while Mo Liang snoozed off in the waiting room.

"We have run the tests. Ms. Jing’s condition is not caused by her head injury. The head injury is only superficial. Instead, in her system, we have found a rare lethal drug. The drug has no odor and is barely detectable. It starts to take its effect in just twenty minutes. It was lucky she was brought here instantly otherwise she might have suffered permanent damage to her organs." The director paused for a second when he saw an unsettled expression unfolding on Li Zhiqiang’s face. Scary.

This morning he had planned to take a day off after a week of night shifts. At 4 am he received a call. The person claimed that he was Li Zhiqiang’s secretary. The doctor laughed out. Haha! Such a nice prank. But to be safe, he checked the official number.

And to his terror, the number matched the one he received the call from! He was jolted wide awake. He quickly called back and apologized a thousand times while cursing under his breath and grabbing his white coat, he rushed to the hospital without even combing his hair or washing his face. The hospital doctor team was surprised to see their head doctor like that. And the funny thing, he couldn’t even justify his panic by revealing them he revealed a call from Hong Kong No. 1 company secretary. He could only say the patient was very important.

Since then, he had put his whole team of doctors to treat Jing Lihua. He could dare to commit a single mistake while treating such an important patient!

"There is no need to worry. We have detoxified the drug and cleared it out of her system. According to the results, the drug was present in her last meal. Once she wakes up, she’ll be free to leave. but for further insurance, I recommend she stay here for another night to get back her strength."

"You’ll not reveal this information to anyone else. Not even to Jing Lihua."

The doctor shuddered. Of course, he wouldn’t! His tongue should rot away from massive gangrene if he dares to think about that!

"Rest assured Mr. Li. I wouldn’t"

"Give me your coat"

"Ha...? Um... Alright." Weird. But nevertheless, he obliged.

Li Zhiqiang took over the coat, walked away towards her room while leaving a befuddled doctor staring at his back. At a distance, he gave his brother a call while heading towards the VIP room.

"Find out the backgrounds of every member of the restaurant."

Li Xun was already scratching his head dealing with massive office work. When he heard another command from his brother, he wanted to bang his head in the table.

"And do it yourself. I want you to keep the process secretive. We can’t trust anyone."

Li Zhiqiang cut off the call, not even troubling to listen to his brother’s wails. He opened the door and walked into the VIP room. His eyes softened. How long had it been since he had seen her? His heart throbbed loudly as he walked closer to her. Even her mere presence had such an intense effect on him.

She laid on the white bed. Her eyes were closed. A white bandage was wrapped around her head. Her hand was connected to an IV drip. There were two nurses attending her.

"Leave."

They knew who he was some important tycoon so they left without any objection. Li Zhiqiang walked to her side. Her cheeks were paled. He sat on the bed, beside her and grabbed her hand. It was cold. He placed her hand on his lap and rubbed it gently, attempting to warm it up.

So many intense emotions assaulted him. So many memories; happy and sad. An intense desire to look into her jade-like eyes bubbled in his heart. But she was unconscious.

"Once again. I’ve failed to protect you"

He raised his hand and reached her face. The back of his hand caressed her soft cheek. His heart filled with affection towards that woman. Her face was cold. He wanted to hug her and fill her with his warmth but stopped fearing it might wake her up.

He was so scared when he had listened to the doctor. What if they had delayed? He could even bear the thought of what would have happened then. Would he have lost her forever? He remembered what had happened back then when he thought he lost her. He had gotten into a nightmare. He had lost all his will, became a working machine without emotions; he had lost himself. Only once he knew she was alright, he snapped out of it.

"Would you forgive me?"

Suddenly Jing Lihua’s eyes fluttered and they opened slowly. Li Zhiqiang was captivated by those pairs of bewitching eyes.
