Chapter 23 (2/2)
He originally thought that because Fu s.h.i.+jun didn't lose the family battle to the female lead, he wouldn't receive the injuries from the later part of the plot.
But looking at it now, it seems that he was thinking too simply.
A starved camel was still bigger than a horse. A doomed female lead's luck halo was still stronger than that of the villain's.
While Su Zhimo had already been tormented by him and Fu s.h.i.+jun until she didn't even look like a female lead, but as long as the luck halo on top of her head didn't disappear, then it was like a bomb that can explode anytime to Fu s.h.i.+jun.

Naturally, the police officers weren't able to find discover anything.
The truck was severely damaged and the law breaker driver had died on the spot. The dead cannot testify. In the end, this matter can only be cla.s.sified as an occasional traffic accident.
Except there are some matter that didn't require conclusive evidence.
Fu s.h.i.+jun's heart should already have some doubt. The system had found that he had let people investigate whether this matter and Su Zhimo had any connections but was unable to discover anything.
Fu s.h.i.+jun had not discuss his doubts with Su Zui; most likely to not let him worry and Su Zui also didn't expose him.
After Fu s.h.i.+jun's condition stabilized, Su Zui sent a dove(1) to the company and took a brief leave to accompany him.
Besides the already retired Grandfather Fu and the playing all day Fu s.h.i.+jing, all the Fu Family members were busy.
In addition, Grandfather Fu was already old and shouldn't be worrying everyday. In the end, it was the outsider Su Zui who had the most time to accompany Fu s.h.i.+jun.
Today, Su Zui was sitting besides the hospital bed and accompanying the injuried arm boss. Because he was bored, he grabbed an apple and started peeling it.
As he peeled, he pretended in his heart that he was p.r.i.c.king needles into the female lead voodoo doll.
This time, he was really angry.
Even if he and Fu s.h.i.+jun didn't treat the female lead well, none of them had thought of harming her life.
The most they did was to let Su Zhimo take responsibility of the stuff she had done.
The law was fair. It was originally a matter of course.
But Su Zhimo?
Not only was she not resigned after being caught courting disaster, she also did this type of disgusting retaliation!
He take care to not overdo things to other people but that's only when the ”other people” have some self-awareness.
To him, this was only a mission. Death was only data. If he died, he can redo it. But to Fu s.h.i.+jun, who was a character within the plot, death was a real existence.
To the people within this book, this imaginary and preposterous book world was reality.
Fu s.h.i.+jun looked at him. He wanted to say something but stopped himself. After stopping himself, he wanted to say something again. In the end, he still tactfully reminded Su Zui: ”Xiao Zui, be careful to not cut your hand.”
The originally fist sized apple had already been reduced to half its size by Su Zui within a few minutes.
If he didn't know any better, he could have thought that Su Zui was cutting the brain of his enemy.
He really doesn't know what grudge Su Zui has against it.
It was only then that Su Zui gave an ”oh” and cut the remaining apple into separate pieces. He put them on a plate and allowed Fu s.h.i.+jun to used his good hand to eat.
To speak truthfully, this apple wasn't that sweet. However Fu s.h.i.+jun ate it piece by piece until all the apples were finished. His heart was filled with content.
After Fu s.h.i.+jun finished eating, Su Zui grabbed a wet napping to help him wipe his hands but was taken advantage by the other and his fingers were grabbed.
Just as he was about to remove his hand, Fu s.h.i.+jun suddenly opened his mouth: ”That day when I drank your milk tea......did you get angry? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to intentionally offend you.”
Su Zui considered the pros and cons for a moment before silently putting down the knife in his hand. He decided to let the boss's small claws flutter around outside for a couple days.
When Fu s.h.i.+jun's arm gets better, he'll chop it off.
He raised his eyebrow: ”Why are you still taking note of it? I have already forgotten. At this time, you don't need to worry about those small matters. Just focus on recovery.”
He pulled his fingers out of Fu s.h.i.+jun's hands. He lightly raised the corner of his lips and coaxed him: ”When you get out of the hospital, I can treat you to milk tea for a month. You don't need to keep thinking about that mouthful.”
Fu s.h.i.+jun stared at him for a moment. When he saw that Su Zui really didn't mind, he gave a light ”en”.
When he let out a breath of relief, he also felt faintly disappointed.
How can he......not mind a single bit?
After finish feeding the boss fruit, Su Zui turned on the laptop and let Fu s.h.i.+jun handle his company matters.
Even if the bone in the arm was broken, Fu s.h.i.+jun was still the leader of a conglomerate. It wasn't possible for Fu s.h.i.+jun to give himself a long vacation.
The secondary matters can be given to the subordinates to handle, but there will always be some matter that requires him to personally deal with.
Even if he is lying on a hospital bed, the things that should be done still needs to be done.
But it wasn't convenient for Fu s.h.i.+jun to type with a single hand so all the work that required typing was done by Su Zui.
”This part needs to be marked and have it fixed by them......”
Su Zui typed for the other person but didn't have a bit of complaint.
In this situation, it wasn't as if he wasn't receiving any benefits.
By personally partic.i.p.ating in Fu s.h.i.+jun's thought process as he handle work, he was able to become aware which part of his own work was inadequate.
When Su Zui ran into matters that he couldn't understand, he would stop and asked Fu s.h.i.+jun for guidance. Fu s.h.i.+jun was very happy to teach him. His explanations were full of patience.
Among the two, one asked while the other answered. Both were deeply immersed in their work. The atmosphere was extremely proper.
But without knowing why, even though it was clearly a proper image, Fu s.h.i.+jing, who had rushed to come visit his brother, stood outside the patient door and felt that if he entered at this time, he will become a big thousand kilowatt lightbulb and make the entire patient room well-lit.
The author has something to say:
Second Brother: A man who can't do anything but has a very strong desire to live
Footnote:
1: This isn't a real dove. The part of the sentence was ”苏醉就鸽了公司那边” and the ”鸽了” (the dove part) meant that he was being dishonest about his reasoning. In this context, it basically meant that he told the company he is going on ”vacation” but went to accompany and work with Fu s.h.i.+jun instead. Another example where you dove someone is calling in sick for work but in reality, they are playing games at home ^-^;;;
