“The thug claimed that he carried out the assault because Ms Qiao wrote a negative article about him in the past. Apparently she exposed an affair between a certain female celebrity and a third party, and the third party was this thug. There’s full evidence for his testimony, but apart from that he refuses to admit responsibility. There’s nothing the police can do about that, but they’ve taken him into custody for now.”

Song Cheng paused after this update and continued, “Brother Shen, do you think someone’s behind this?”

Shen Liangchuan coughed twice. Since he had just woken up, his voice was hoarse and he spoke slowly, “It’s not important whether we have evidence of who is behind this. The most important thing is that we all know who it is. Please assign two bodyguards to protect Ms Qiao.”

Song Cheng responded, “… Yes.”

Qiao Lian was standing outside the door, and a warm feeling momentarily engulfed her when she overheard the conversation.

It felt like the wounds in her heart found solace in these words and were beginning to heal.

Finally, he prioritized her safety and well-being.

She bit her lip and was about to enter the ward when Shen Liangchuan instructed, “Pack up, let’s go home.”

Song Cheng exclaimed, “Brother Shen, can’t you just be good and stay put in the hospital?! Even though your fever has subsided and your wound has been cleaned up and bandaged, what if something goes wrong? You might develop pneumonia!”

Shen Liangchuan replied, “Don’t talk nonsense.”

With that said, he had cut off Song Cheng, who was mumbling, “Such a grown man and you’re afraid of staying in the hospital. Seriously…”

However, he stood up and walked to the door, obviously not daring to defy Shen Liangchuan’s orders.

Seeing this was the situation, Qiao Lian immediately opened the door and walked inside.

She acted as if nothing had happened, as though she had not heard a word that had been exchanged between the two men, and dropped her bag on the sofa.

The room instantly became silent.
