Chapter 2100: Brother Xiao, Why Are You Asking This?

Sponsored

Because it’s an island nation, even private hospitals are located not far from bustling city areas.

Even though it’s already past seven in the evening, it’s still easy to find a restaurant.

Chen Shijie is very familiar with this place. He didn’t bring any bodyguards along; instead, he only brought Xiao Zheng and Su Ziwen to a restaurant not far from the hospital. The restaurant’s decor is very fresh, and it exudes a strong tropical vibe at first glance.

About ten minutes after sitting down, a fragrant seafood feast was served at the table.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Su, please enjoy," Chen Shijie said with a smile. "I often come to this restaurant; the seafood here is pretty good, not much worse than typical hotel chefs."

Xiao Zheng nodded and then picked up a chopstick of steamed grouper. After savoring it in his mouth, he indeed found it very delicious. Even Su Ziwen, who didn’t have an appetite, couldn’t resist picking up his chopsticks.

As the meal gradually progressed warmly, the atmosphere among the three of them also became more familiar.

From the conversation, Xiao Zheng learned about the background of the Chen Family.

The Chen Family settled in the Southern Ocean in the last century, starting out with a rubber plantation, and then slowly branched into gold mining, real estate, and shipping, making them one of the leading families in the Southern Ocean region.

However, Xiao Zheng wasn’t particularly interested in these things. After all, not to mention the income from Sky Net, just with Qianqiu Group openly on the table, their annual profits can easily outpace the Chen Family.

The only thing that caught his slight interest was the odd expression on Chen Shijie’s face earlier in the ward.

Instinct told Xiao Zheng that Su Zimo’s poisoning was definitely related to him!

However, with Su Ziwen beside him, it was not the right time to ask. After all, the Su Family and the Chen Family have business ties, and if this issue creates discord, it would be awkward for him.

After all, right now it’s just a gut feeling for Xiao Zheng, and he hasn’t determined Chen Shijie as the culprit.

He planned to have a private talk with Su Ziwen after the meal.

Overall, the meal’s atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Chen Shijie exhibited the charisma of a son from an aristocratic family, his conversation was quite remarkable, and throughout the hour and a half meal, there wasn’t a dull moment.

After the meal, the three of them returned to the hospital.

But just as they reached the inpatient building downstairs, Chen Shijie stopped moving forward: "Brother Xiao, Brother Su, I’ll escort you this far. It’s late, and since Miss Zimo is okay, I’ll head home first and report to my father for peace of mind."

"He has been worrying about Miss Zimo’s condition all day, calling me seven or eight times just this afternoon to inquire."

Upon hearing this, Su Ziwen gratefully said: "It’s fine, Brother Chen, you can go home and rest. Xiao Brother and I are here, thank Uncle Chen for his concern."

"I will," Chen Shijie nodded in response.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards guarding outside Su Zimo’s ward also appeared downstairs at the inpatient building.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Chen Shijie finally left with his bodyguards.

Watching Chen Shijie and his party leave, Su Ziwen then said: "Brother Xiao, let’s go up. Otherwise, if Zimo wakes up and finds no one in the ward with her, she might get scared."

Xiao Zheng nodded and then withdrew his gaze from the direction where Chen Shijie had departed.

Entering the inpatient building, the two of them directly went into the elevator.

Su Zimo’s ward is on the twenty-sixth floor of the inpatient building, so even by taking the elevator, it requires some time.

At this time, it was just the two of them in the elevator. After some thought, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but ask: "Ziwen, how much do you know about Chen Shijie and the Chen Family behind him?"

Hearing this, Su Ziwen was initially taken aback, then replied: "I should be quite familiar with the Chen Family, as our family has cooperated with them since the previous generation."

"Brother Xiao, why are you suddenly asking about this?"

Hearing his question, Xiao Zheng decided to open up and said: "Today, when I was helping Zimo detoxify, I noticed an odd look on his face. I suspect that Zimo’s poisoning might have something to do with Chen Shijie."

As he said this, he deliberately created a Vigorous Energy Shield.

After all, this hospital is a Chen Family asset, and if there were listening devices, it could be troublesome.

Upon hearing this, Su Ziwen’s face showed a trace of horror: "Brother Xiao, there must be some misunderstanding, right? How could Chen Shijie possibly be the culprit who poisoned Zimo?"

"As I just mentioned, I only have suspicions about him at the moment," Xiao Zheng shrugged and said, "I’m not definitively saying Chen Shijie is the culprit; maybe he just knows some truth, or perhaps he’s connected to the person responsible for the poisoning..."

"There are many possibilities; we don’t need to rush to a conclusion."

After hearing this, Su Ziwen’s heart became unusually anxious: "Brother Xiao, if Chen Shijie really is the culprit, wouldn’t Zimo still be in danger staying here?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled: "You don’t have to worry about that. As long as I’m here, Zimo won’t encounter danger. We don’t need to worry about Zimo’s safety now, we just need to uncover the truth."

ding~

With the sound of a prompt, the elevator arrived at the twenty-sixth floor.

Xiao Zheng patted Su Ziwen on the shoulder, then said: "Let’s go check on Zimo. We can find another time to talk about the culprit."

Su Ziwen nodded, then stepped toward Su Zimo’s ward.

Although Xiao Zheng’s tone was relaxed afterward, attempting to ease him, internally, he remained tense. But in order to prevent Su Zimo from noticing anything unusual, he forced himself to appear normal.

Opening the ward door, the two saw Su Zimo leaning against the bed.

She seemed to have been awake for a while, with a meal tray placed on the bedside table.

Seeing that Su Zimo had started eating, a smile finally appeared on Su Ziwen’s face: "Zimo, how do you feel now? Are you still as weak as when you just woke up?"

Seeing them appear together, a touch of joy glimmered in Su Zimo’s eyes: "I feel much better now. Brother Xiao is amazing. So many doctors couldn’t cure my illness, yet Brother Xiao came and managed to cure me."

Feeling Su Zimo’s delight and admiration, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but smile faintly.
