The screen was playing a public meeting that Yi Zheng had participated in in the past.
He was dressed in a suit and sat at the head of the table. His expression was cold, and he looked especially unreachable.
However, such a person had to silently endure the pain that he could not reveal to outsiders. Even Shi Yu, who had always been closest to Yi Zheng, did not know that he had been poisoned with such a difficult poison when he was young.
When Shi Ke found out, he immediately called Yi Zheng to ask for a way to detoxify.
At night, Shi Man felt that it was difficult to calm down. She sat at the table and could not calm down to prepare for the new company. Her mind seemed to be a ball of threads that could not be sorted out, and she could not find the source.
Outside, the click of the car door closing temporarily woke her up. She stood up and looked out of the window. In the hazy night, she could recognize that familiar figure at a glance.
Yi Zheng looked up as if he sensed something. Coincidentally, his eyes met hers. He smiled and walked into the villa.
Shi Man closed the window and went downstairs to take a look.
Initially, she just wanted to know that he had returned safely, but she still wanted to meet him personally to be at ease.
In the living room, Yi Zheng was handing his things to the butler to put away. He looked up and saw the person standing foolishly at the staircase. He couldn’t help but laugh softly. “Why aren’t you asleep yet? Didn’t we agree that you need not wait for me?”
“Who’s waiting for you? 1 just can’t sleep.” Shi Man looked away uncomfortably. After walking down the stairs, she casually sat down on the sofa and rolled her eyes at him. “You’ve been busy with the company. Aren’t you afraid of sudden death?”
Yi Zheng inexplicably saw the coquettish look in her eyes. He was delighted and sat down beside her. “Aren’t 1 back now? I’ve been too busy recently, but I’ll take care of my body. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“Who’s worried about you?” Shi Man pouted in the direction of the kitchen. “The chef made supper before bed. It should still be warm. Eat it yourself. I’m going to sleep.”
“Don’t go.” Yi Zheng suddenly reached out reluctantly, grabbed her arm, and pulled her into his arms.
He held her chin and stared at her carefully. “Let me take a good look to relieve the pain of longing in my heart.”
“Nonsense.” Shi Man hammered his chest, but she obediently stopped moving and let him look.
“Ahem.” Upstairs, a slightly awkward cough suddenly sounded.
Yi Zheng let go of Shi Man and held her at her waist. He looked upstairs with a smile. “Fourth Brother, aren’t you asleep?”
Shi Mu was going down the stairs when suddenly braked. His legs were so weak that he almost fell downstairs.
This man was so shameless. He was clearly older than him, but he had to follow Shi Man and greet him as Fourth Brother!
Who was he trying to annoy!
Shi Mu rolled his eyes and said angrily, “Who’s your Fourth Brother? I heard some movement in the living room and came out to take a look. Why are you only back now?”
Yi Zheng’s expression darkened. He thought of the call he had received before entering the house and said firmly, “Fourth Brother, 1 still have something to talk to Manman about alone, so 1’11 bring her back to her room first.”
“What’s the matter that you have to talk about in the middle of the night?” Shi Mu glared at him unhappily. He saw that the person was really going to kidnap his sister back to her room in front of him. He immediately stood up and blocked the two of them. “No, you can’t go back to your room. You can talk here.”
Yi Zheng looked up and stared at him, having no intention of sitting back on the sofa.
Shi Mu immediately understood and snorted coldly. “Alright, alright, alright. I’ll leave, okay? But keep it short! My sister still has school tomorrow!”
“Definitely.” Yi Zheng nodded at him gently, but he still had no intention of moving.
Shi Mu pursed his lips speechlessly and turned around to walk back to the room angrily.
Only then did Yi Zheng pull Shi Man back to sit down. He said seriously, “Manman, something happened in G City.”
Shi Man frowned and suddenly thought of something. She couldn’t control her voice. “Is it Shi He?”
Yi Zheng gently raised his hand and made a quiet gesture with his lips. He lowered his voice and said, “Your brother called me just now and said that Shi He was poisoned in the hospital. The doctor was helpless about it.”
“What poison? Since the doctor had no choice, why did he call you alone to tell you? Why didn’t he contact me and Father?” Just as Shi Man finished speaking, before Yi Zheng could explain, she reacted first. “Heat poison? Do they know that you were also poisoned?”
Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes and shook his head. “1 don’t know how your brother found out about this, but you’re the only one who can save your Third Brother now. Do you want to return to G City with me?”
“Of course!” Shi Man wanted to return to her room to change without thinking.
However, Yi Zheng suddenly grabbed her arm and frowned. “It’s not that simple. I’m worried that someone is inviting you into a trap..”
