Chapter 160

Lin Meng returned to the island villa, stored today's spoils, then contacted Sun Yao's side.

In a few days, Sun Yao should have nearly finished preparing the supplies on the list; it's a good time to find him to inspect them, and by the way ask Ye Chenjing about his schedule these days.

Half of the Medicinal Materials Ye Fan gave last time remained; she felt it was time to sell the other half, exchanging it for money would be more reassuring.

Sun Yao received the call and quickly arranged for Lin Meng to meet at the warehouse for delivery.

When Lin Meng arrived, not only Sun Yao was guarding the warehouse, but also Xiao Chen.

"Are you both here?"

She had roped in both of Ye Chenjing's assistants to help, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Sun Yao apologetically said:

"Sorry, Miss Lin, something came up with General Manager Ye; I have to rush over there, so I'll hand over the handover to Xiao Chen."

"Some of these supplies were actually prepared with Xiao Chen's help; I'm really sorry, Miss Lin, but I must leave now."

Sun Yao suddenly spoke anxiously; after finishing, he dove into the car, stepped on the gas, and vanished, clearly an urgent matter.

Lin Meng felt a surge of worry, frowned at Xiao Chen.

"What happened to General Manager Ye?"

Xiao Chen shook his head: "General Manager Ye doesn't want it said, Miss Lin; let's first handle the supplies."

Lin Meng: "……"

"What time is it now, still worrying about supplies? Xiao Chen, what exactly happened to your General Manager Ye? If you won't tell me, I'll go find him myself."

"It's only been a few days since we last saw him; what could have happened to Ye Chenjing?"

"Just now Sun Yao looked obviously anxious; it didn't seem like a company problem, but more like Ye Chenjing himself had met with misfortune, making Lin Meng's heart flutter with unease."

"The supplies are in the warehouse, they won't run away; of course she first cared about Ye Chenjing's situation."

Xiao Chen hesitated again and again, finally unable to withstand the pressure, and told everything about Ye Chenjing's incident.

"…… Miss Lin, that's how it is; General Manager Ye is currently lying in the private hospital under the group; if you go see him, he will surely be pleased."

Although General Manager Ye repeatedly stressed not to tell Lin Meng, Xiao Chen felt that Ye is now fragile, and Lin Meng visiting him might give him encouragement.

Upon hearing this, Lin Meng couldn't help but frown.

"No, this guy is too unlucky; how did he manage to encounter two major calamities in one day?"

According to Xiao Chen, Jing Shi has a particularly important real estate project breaking ground, also the highest-value property project of the group in recent years, so Ye Chenjing personally went to inspect the site.

Yet just by coincidence, he encountered a falling object from height.

Xiao Chen said, at that moment the falling object missed Ye's head by two centimeters, grazing the back of his skull; a little more and it would have struck his crown.

If it had hit him, the result would have been an immediate boxed lunch.

Everyone present broke out in a cold sweat, but Xiao Chen said Ye Chenjing kept his composure and even on the spot rebuked the project manager.

But on the way back, Ye Chenjing discovered that the amulet he kept close had turned to ash.

Xiao Chen said with lingering fear:

General Manager Ye could stay calm even when brushing past death, but seeing that amulet turn to ash changed his expression; I heard him murmur, 'This was her gift, and now it's gone,' showing he was heartbroken at the time.

Lin Meng listened, her feelings complex.

The amulet given by the Daoist priest was useless to her; at the time she didn't think much, so she just slipped it to Ye Chenjing.

At first Ye Chenjing refused to accept it, but fortunately she insisted on giving it then.

Now it seems the first obstacle was overcome thanks to the Daoist priest's amulet helping Ye Chenjing.

Unfortunately, this bloody calamity pursued Ye Chenjing, and in the end he still couldn't avoid a car accident.

"How is he now? Is it serious?"

Xiao Chen's expression grew grave, he sighed.

"He's not in danger of death, but…… Miss Lin, you'd better go see him yourself."

Xiao Chen feared saying too much; if Lin Meng could go visit General Manager Ye, perhaps he would perk up.

With a nervous heart, Lin Meng drove to the hospital.

From Xiao Chen she learned Ye Chenjing's hospital room number, a VIP ward on the top floor.

This hospital is itself a private hospital under the Ye Group; reportedly it is strong, with several authoritative top experts on staff, so its medical resources are beyond doubt.

Lin Meng arrived at the top floor; as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she saw a crowd blocking the passage.

Aside from a detail of bodyguards, the rest were presumably people coming to visit Ye Chenjing.

Among them, Lin Meng also saw some familiar faces.

In the crowd, Old Master Ye was surrounded in the middle, listening to people's seemingly concerned greetings, his aged face full of worry.

Among these people, how many genuinely came to wish him well, and how many came to see the Ye family's sole heir gravely injured, hoping he would fall, Old Master Ye knew very well.

Yet he still bore his sorrow while maintaining outward decorum.

All major media had already gotten the news; Ye Xiangrong had barely managed to get the PR team to suppress it, and he didn't want to fall out with those superficially visiting people now, otherwise it would cause trouble for Ye Chenjing.

But he also knew it couldn't stay hidden forever; his grandson injured like this, even the most authoritative doctors say recovery is hopeless, public opinion will eventually erupt.

Lin Meng did not go up to disturb them, nor did she go directly to Ye Chenjing's ward.

Old Master Ye seemed to have blocked these people here, preventing them from going upstairs to see Ye Chenjing's condition; if she entered the ward in front of all these people, she might stir up trouble.

After thinking, Lin Meng temporarily hid in the restroom, and from inside a stall she sent Ye Chenjing a message.

"Are you still okay?"

Just four short characters; I don't know if Ye Chenjing can see them.

Meanwhile, on the hospital bed, despite his serious injury and suffering, Ye Chenjing remained elegant and composed; his handsome face retained its luster despite pallor, still that noble, god‑like man.

Only his usual deep, cold‑arrogant eyes now seemed to hold a touch of gloom.

At that moment, his phone rang; when he saw Lin Meng's message pop up, his pupils contracted sharply.

He coldly looked toward the foot of the bed at the grieving Sun Yao, his tone icy as he said:

"You told Lin Meng?"

Sun Yao froze, then lowered his head and stammered:

"Sorry, General Manager. Today Miss Lin happened to come to me to inspect supplies, but I only told her that something came up on your end; I didn't mention your injury."

Ye Chenjing immediately questioned:

"Since she has something to attend to, why aren't you with her? I don't need you to do anything here."

Upon hearing that, Sun Yao felt suffocated in his chest.

Even though General Manager is like this, he's still thinking about Miss Lin's affairs.

He is a capable aide personally brought up by Ye Chenjing; at this critical juncture, he cannot possibly abandon his true boss to go work for Lin Meng.

Moreover, "I've left Xiao Chen there, General Manager, you can rest assured."

Ye Chenjing, upon hearing this, finally felt somewhat relieved.

Lin Meng has no attendant in Jing Shi; being alone, he cannot rest easy.

After thinking, Ye Chenjing replied to Lin Meng with a message.

"Company business has run into some trouble; for the time being I can't meet with you, sorry."

Lin Meng saw his reply, her heart sank; he was deceiving her.
