Chapter 1799: A Terrifying Thought

~7 min read 1,379 words

Jiang Motian raised her hand, gently stroked Xie Wanyi's head, and then said, "It will be fine."

"Mm, it will definitely be fine."

When Xie Wanyi said this, he used a little force.

It seemed as if he was giving himself a suggestion.

After another while, the surgery finally ended.

The doctor walked out and told Xie Wanyi that the surgical process had been very perilous.

It was nearly necessary to remove Ling Yu's spleen.

Fortunately, Ling Yu pulled through.

It was just that the subsequent recovery would require a longer time.

To Xie Wanyi, Ling Yu being able to survive was the best result.

So no matter how long it took to recover, Xie Wanyi did not feel it was a problem.

But how to ensure Ling Yu would not be plotted against again was more of a problem.

Xie Wanyi began to dispatch personnel to come over.

Phone calls were also made one after another.

And during the process of him making arrangements, Jiang Motian sat quietly to the side.

When Xie Wanyi finished, he saw Jiang Motian pursing her lips, staring at the floor in deep thought.

Xie Wanyi walked over and sat down beside Jiang Motian.

Then he asked, "Were you a little frightened?"

Jiang Motian was not afraid.

She was just... a little worried.

Gently raising her eyes, Jiang Motian asked with some confusion, "Hasn't Ling Yu already broken free from Wuyou Hall? Why would this still happen?"

"He... is currently assisting the West Hall Master."

Just this one sentence made Jiang Motian understand something.

She couldn't help but clench her hands and asked again, "Was he willing?"

"Mm."

"How foolish!"

"Actually, Ling Yu is very clear about what he is doing, but regarding this matter... I still need to investigate it carefully."

"No matter what result you find, you should persuade him to leave. Look at your current life, isn't it quite good?"

"I certainly must persuade him; this time, there will inevitably be a result."

As long as Xie Wanyi told Ling Yu about his own situation, Ling Yu would inevitably draw a line with Li Shu.

But doing so also carried risks:

Ling Yu might very well, in a fit of anger, charge over to settle scores with Li Shu.

Xie Wanyi did not want Ling Yu to take risks for his sake.

Therefore, he had to ensure he could pacify Ling Yu before telling the truth.

As for whether Li Shu would let Ling Yu leave...

Li Shu would always find ways to control the pawns he was used to using.

Like with Xie Wanyi, he used kindness.

With Ping Ge, he used trust.

With the West Hall Master, he used power.

Then for Ling Yu, what did he use to control him?

Xie Wanyi recalled carefully, only to suddenly discover that Li Shu had always kept Ling Yu in a state of being free-range.

Ling Yu had relied on a streak of ruthlessness to reach his current position in the Organization.

This also indicated that Li Shu had no expectations for Ling Yu.

And did not value him enough.

For a pawn without much use, Li Shu would not go to the trouble of controlling them.

If they were useless, he would discard them directly.

Then...

Xie Wanyi suddenly came up with a very terrifying hypothesis!

Thinking back to the methods of that burly man in the hospital room...

Xie Wanyi became increasingly uneasy!

He prepared to investigate personally in a while, and once Ling Yu woke up, he would have to ask carefully!

And also...

Xie Wanyi turned his head and said to Jiang Motian, "Don't come to the Hospital during this time!"

Jiang Motian could feel that Xie Wanyi had discovered something.

And the content of the discovery... was also very terrifying.

Jiang Motian couldn't help but clench her hands and said, "You... must also be careful."

She had originally wanted to ask around.

But with the words on the tip of her tongue, Jiang Motian gave up.

She knew that Xie Wanyi would not tell her...

At this moment, what Jiang Motian could do was to be more obedient and not let Xie Wanyi worry.

Xie Wanyi stroked Jiang Motian's cheek with affection, his tone solemn: "I will."

"By the way, stay away from that little nurse. If she gives you anything, you are not allowed to accept it."

Jiang Motian's topic shifted a bit quickly.

Xie Wanyi reacted for a moment before replying half a beat late: "I will treat that little nurse like air; I won't even acknowledge her."

"That won't work either. What if she comes to you about something important?"

"Then she can say what she wants, and I'll just listen. I'll refuse eye contact."

"Mm, let's do that. You must keep your word."

"Rest assured!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

But the smiles were only on the surface.

The two of them each had their own worries.

……

After the surgery, Ling Yu remained in a coma.

The doctor said it was a normal phenomenon.

As the patient's relative, one could only wait patiently.

Xie Wanyi was considered patient enough.

But Ping Ge... his patience was rapidly decreasing.

Not long after, Ping Ge took the initiative to call Xie Wanyi.

He first feigned concern for Ling Yu's injuries, then hypocritically said: "Bring Ling Yu back for treatment."

"Ling Yu's body cannot withstand the tossing and turning; he must stay here. I have already arranged for the best Doctor, so there is no need to worry."

Xie Wanyi's tone was a bit firm.

This made Ping Ge on the other end of the phone narrow his eyes involuntarily.

But the voice Ping Ge used to speak was quite amiable: "In that case, you will have to suffer."

"If it's just suffering, I don't mind. It's just that, regarding the company... I really feel powerless."

Xie Wanyi's words carried a hint.

Ping Ge also sensed his hint.

But he dared not believe it, so he probed without changing his expression: "Oh, then what should we do?"

"I see that Xiao Ding has made rapid progress recently, so let Xiao Ding manage it."

Xie Wanyi was too lazy to beat around the bush; he opened his mouth and stated his decision.

His decision confirmed Ping Ge's guess.

Yet, far from feeling relieved, he became even more vigilant and even lobbied Xie Wanyi: "I heard that you and Xiao Ding had a conflict before? Xiao Ding is ignorant; don't hold it against him, and don't leave the company out of spite because of it."

"I am not acting out of spite; I am truly tired."

"Then, won't you consider it carefully again?"

"I have already considered it very clearly."

"……Alright, I respect your choice."

Ping Ge went with the flow and agreed to Xie Wanyi's request.

Ping Ge had originally wanted to squeeze Xie Wanyi out of the company.

Now that the goal was achieved, there was no sign of joy on Ping Ge's face.

He felt it was a bit strange.

But regardless, the company had finally returned to Ping Ge's hands.

Xie Wanyi had lost!

Ping Ge believed that Xie Wanyi would be gradually marginalized.

And in the end...

He would disappear from the Organization completely!

The more Ping Ge thought about it, the more optimistic he became.

Yet he was completely unaware that Xie Wanyi had already made arrangements in advance.

Because he had made full preparations, when Xie Wanyi officially left the company, the company did not experience any turmoil.

However, after Xiao Ding began to take charge of the company...

Everything changed.

The situation in the company could be described as "a foul atmosphere"!

Unable to bear it any longer, Xiaolin called Xie Wanyi to vent: "What it means to practice nepotism—I've finally seen it!"

"It is normal for Xiao Ding to want to foster his own forces."

"But he should find some reliable people, right? Look at him; everyone he finds is useless trash! Good-for-nothings!"

Xiaolin was truly angry; he opened his mouth and recounted Xiao Ding's recent "great achievements."

Li Beijue's expression darkened instantly; he stared coldly at Jiang Baobao, his voice sounding as if it were being squeezed through his teeth: "Say that again?"
