Chapter 244: Setting a Hundred Traps for You to Fall Into

~9 min read 1,610 words

After she woke up, Jian Yining hurriedly apologized and explained to her.

He explained that what he said just now was nonsense, and that Sheng Hanyu was perfectly fine, suffering only from a fractured lower leg and a mild concussion.

The housekeeper did not believe him until the aunt and the doctor said the same thing; only then did she believe it.

Once the housekeeper regained her composure, she began to complain about Jian Yining, saying that old people have much to say.

She was not a talkative person by nature, but now she was nagging on and on, endlessly.

She rambled about how difficult it had been for her Eldest Young Master, how much he had suffered in Prison, and how he had no peaceful days even after returning, busy every day like a spinning top, and he had lost so much weight...

The Eldest Young Mistress had clearly been found, yet she had become someone else's wife.

The Eldest Young Master was now all alone and quite pitiful...

What she said really seemed to be the case, and Jian Yining's inner doubts wavered a bit more.

He was familiar with Sheng Hanyu's housekeeper; she was someone who would never tell a lie.

The light in the operating room went out, and the doctor walked out. Just as Jian Yining was about to step forward to ask questions, he was pushed aside by the aunt and the housekeeper.

The two women asked anxiously: "Doctor, how is our young master?"

"Doctor, is the patient in danger? Will there be any lasting complications? Can we go see him now?"

The doctor told them the surgery was very successful, but the patient could not see anyone yet; he would be sent to the observation room for twenty-four hours, and only if there were no problems could he be transferred to a regular Hospital Ward.

Jian Yining felt something was not quite right, so he asked: "Wasn't it a mild concussion? Why does he still need to be sent to the observation room?"

Only critical cases needed to be sent for observation; theoretically, it was completely unnecessary for him.

"This is hospital policy."

The doctor said only this one sentence, then asked the family members to sign.

None of the people outside were Sheng Hanyu's immediate family, so the aunt signed in the end.

Since there was no major issue and they were not allowed to see him, the aunt and the housekeeper went back, feeling relieved.

They prepared to go back and tidy up the rooms again, clearing out a larger one on the first floor for Sheng Hanyu to live in after he was discharged.

After the two left, Jian Yixin said to her younger brother: "A Ning, let's go back too. The doctors and nurses are here; we will come to see him when he is transferred to a regular Hospital Ward."

Although she said this, Sheng Hanyu might not be willing to see her, so Jian Yixin was just saying it for the sake of it.

"Alright."

Jian Yining made up his mind, and the two left the hospital to go home.

But in the early hours of the morning, he quietly returned!

He wore a doctor's white coat and a mask, and accompanied by a classmate, he went to the intensive care unit.

The classmate found an excuse to send the nurse on duty away and said to him: "Hurry up, I can only give you five minutes."

"Thank you, five minutes is enough."

He quickly entered the intensive care unit. There was indeed someone lying on the bed, and the figure did look like Sheng Hanyu!

It was just impossible to be sure.

Because the patient's face was wrapped in gauze, revealing only his eyes, nose, and mouth; his eyes were closed, and he was emitting a faint snoring sound.

"Who are you?" Jian Yining stood in front of the hospital bed.

The person on the bed woke up, opened his eyes to look at him, his gaze cold, and his tone even colder: "Get out."

That's right, it was Sheng Hanyu.

This was completely beyond his expectations, and Jian Yining blurted out: "Impossible, how are you here?"

The person on the hospital bed said: "If I'm not here, where should I be? You're here to see me make a fool of myself, right? I hid all the way here and you still managed to find me, you're really something."

"Alright, you've seen the joke, now you should be satisfied. You can go."

After speaking, he turned his head to the other side, acting arrogant.

Jian Yining felt very uncomfortable. He had come back from so far away to find evidence to prove that Sheng Hanyu was not in Jiangzhou, and that the Alisha by Shi Youxuan's side was actually Sheng Hanyu.

As a result, he was actually in Jiangzhou?

How could this be?

But the voice was real, the tone and everything were similar... exactly the same!

Deep down, he already believed that the person lying on the hospital bed was Sheng Hanyu.

But he still would not give up.

He mocked: "Aren't you suffering from a concussion? Wrapped up like this for a concussion, did your brain get shaken out?"

"Get lost—"

"If you don't leave, I'm going to call for someone," Sheng Hanyu said.

Jian Yining checked the time and saw there was still enough; he didn't leave but sat down beside him: "Was that person in L Country you? You're quite fast on your feet, running back so quickly because you were afraid I would expose you? What a pity, what a pity..."

While he was making small talk, he was actually not idle at all, secretly sending a message to the servant at Zhu Zhai to ask if Alisha was there.

Although Jian Yining had returned in a huff, he had done one thing before returning—bribing the housekeeper of Zhu Zhai to monitor whether Alisha was in the residence.

If it were anything else, the housekeeper would certainly not have the guts to be this spy.

But just reporting whether Alisha was there was not a secret, and he could get a large sum of extra money, so he agreed.

It was early morning now, and it was daytime in L Country.

When the housekeeper received the message, Alisha was just out playing with the young lady.

He casually took a few photos and sent them over.

Jian Yining was deflated; it had all been for nothing.

But soon he was happy again. Since Alisha was not Sheng Hanyu, she posed no threat to him, and he still had hope!

"You rest well, I'm leaving."

Jian Yining left with a swagger.

"Whew—"

Confirming that Jian Yining had already left the hospital, the "Sheng Hanyu" lying on the bed sat up in one motion and tore off the gauze on his face in a few swift movements; it was actually Sheng Zerong in disguise.

Jian Yining was quite smart, but all of his actions had not escaped Hanyu's calculations.

Everything had been calculated by him, and every step of the plan was very meticulous; even the slightest mistake would have meant all previous efforts were wasted.

But it was precisely because of the risk that it appeared real.

Jian Yining left the next morning; he didn't tell his parents before leaving, but he left them a message: Mom and Dad, next time I come back, I will bring you a daughter-in-law!

He prepared to go to L Country again to find Shi Youxuan, but when buying the plane ticket, he discovered that he had been temporarily banned from entering the country!

This infuriated Jian Yining, and he first thought that it must be Zhu Yiwen playing tricks.

Jian Yining called him, and Zhu Yiwen admitted it very candidly: "That's right, it was me."

"What right do you have to do this?" Jian Yining was so angry he couldn't contain himself and threatened: "Zhu Yiwen, don't think that just because you can cover the sky with one hand in L Country, I have no way to deal with you. You better restore it for me immediately, otherwise I will go to your Ambassador to protest!"

"Go ahead."

Zhu Yiwen hung up the phone calmly.

Since he dared to do this, he naturally wasn't afraid of Jian Yining going to protest.

Although Zhu Yiwen's public identity in L Country was only that of a businessman, he actually held power in many places.

Back when Feiying kidnapped the kindergarten children's parents to trade for their big brother, it was he who negotiated with the relevant departments, which was why they were released so readily.

Otherwise, based on the efficiency of L Country's administration, this matter wouldn't have been settled in ten days or half a month; even without Feiying taking action, the relevant departments would have just passed the buck to each other, and those hostages wouldn't have been able to wait.

It was just that Zhu Yiwen saved the people but didn't leave his name for his good deed, so no one on the outside knew about it.

Jian Yining was angry but had no choice, so he could only dial Zhu Yiwen's number again.

Once connected again, before Jian Yining could speak, Zhu Yiwen stated his conditions first: "When you agree to marry Alisha, your entry restriction will be lifted."

"Beep, beep, beep—"

A busy signal came from the other end; Jian Yining didn't say a word and hung up again.

He would not marry Alisha; Zhu Yiwen wanted to make Yingzi his wife in name for the rest of his life—in his dreams!
