Chapter 2050 - 153: Causing a Diversion
When he arrived, he saw Shen You sitting quietly on the sofa, deep in thought.
Upon hearing someone enter, Shen You looked up at Shen Mubai.
Shen Mubai glanced around the room, seeing no one else, and asked softly, "Where is he?"
Shen You looked at Shen Mubai, confusion in his eyes, "Who?"
Shen Mubai asked, "You—haven’t seen anyone?"
Shen You replied, "Just the hotel waiter."
Shen Mubai looked at Shen You, "When did you wake up?"
Shen You, "In just about an hour."
Shen Mubai noticed the breakfast on the coffee table, "Why haven’t you eaten?"
Shen You looked at Shen Mubai, answering with a question, "I—did I sleep for three years?"
Shen Mubai adjusted his glasses, "Yes, you fell, had multiple fractures all over your body, and Ye Bai helped to piece your bones together. Later, you became a vegetative state."
Afraid that he couldn’t handle it all at once, he didn’t say much more, nor did he mention the issue of Xiaojiu and their father finding a surrogate.
Shen You sat there silently.
Indeed, being a vegetative state for three years.
After a long moment, he asked quietly, "Why can’t Huo and the others be reached by phone?"
Shen Mubai hesitated for a moment, "Something happened to them."
Something happened!
Upon hearing this, Shen You furrowed his brows and looked at Shen Mubai.
Shen Mubai asked, "Where are you going now?"
Shen You paused, "What else has happened?"
Shen Mubai, "There’s nothing else for now, just that Huo Jinnan and the others have been in a breakup state, and maybe no one is managing things at the company."
Shen You, "Then I’ll go to the company."
Shen Mubai said nothing more, turned, and left the room.
Shen You also exited, still wearing the loose hospital gown.
When they reached the hotel front desk to check out, Shen Mubai looked at Shen You, "You wait in the car first, I’ll settle the bill."
Shen You glanced at Shen Mubai and walked out of the hotel.
He still couldn’t understand why he was lying on a hotel bed when he woke up!
Wasn’t he a vegetative state?
What exactly happened?
What did brother mean by his previous questions? What was brother hiding?
He felt like many things were being hidden from him.
Standing by the car, looking outside, the area appeared renovated, with many new buildings, no wonder he didn’t recognize it at first sight.
A lot must have changed while he was asleep.
...
At the front desk, while settling the bill, Shen Mubai asked, "Who sent him here?"
The hotel receptionist looked at Shen Mubai, "Mr. Shen came on his own, no one sent him."
Clearly unconvinced, Shen Mubai said, "I want to see the surveillance."
The hotel receptionist refused flatly, "I’m sorry, Director Shen, you have no reason to view our surveillance."
Shen Mubai adjusted his glasses, "Then let me tell you, my brother was in a coma, a vegetative state, and suddenly appeared in your hotel. Imagine your responsibility if I hadn’t discovered this in time, numerous accidents could’ve happened."
The receptionist paused, looking at Shen Mubai, "If that’s the case, Mr. Shen can report it to the police."
Shen Mubai stared deeply at the receptionist.
The receptionist stood waiting briefly, then received the room check report, looked at Shen Mubai, "Mr. Shen, you finished your checkout process, you may leave now."
Shen Mubai remained standing there, directly dialed 110 to report to the police.
He also called his assistant to have him drive Shen You to the Jindong Group.
Shen You waited a long time, hearing the assistant say he’d be taken to the company first, he looked at Shen Mubai’s assistant, "What about my brother?"
