Chapter 1077: It’s Time to Unveil Her Secret
Song Yinyin covered her forehead and snapped at him in annoyance, "That really hurts!"
He reached out and hooked an arm around her waist, pulling her back toward him. "Don’t move!"
He was finishing up, his movements elegant and smooth, but the gauze he wrapped looked incredibly ugly.
Song Yinyin stared blankly at her thumb, which had been wrapped up like a rice dumpling, completely speechless.
Lu Jihan, looking like a professional doctor, reminded her unhurriedly, "Don’t get it in cold water, in case it gets infected. Did you hear me clearly?"
There seemed to be concern in his words.
Song Yinyin pursed her lips and said awkwardly, "It’s just a little injury, really nothing serious."
"A small injury is still an injury!" His face suddenly darkened, and the chill that had just receded settled over him again. "You can still die from tetanus!"
Knowing he was still angry, Song Yinyin obediently nodded. "Oh."
"And when we get back to the hotel, put a cold compress on that face of yours, otherwise who knows how swollen it’ll be tomorrow."
Song Yinyin nodded again. "Got it."
"Good. Since you know, come on, come back to the hotel with me."
He rose and took her slender wrist. Song Yinyin was taken aback. "Don’t you still have things to deal with?"
She was referring to the injured man.
"The compensation itself isn’t the real problem. I’m just afraid it’s not that simple." Lu Jihan frowned.
Song Yinyin looked surprised, worry creasing her brow. "What kind of problem?"
"We can still negotiate compensation with the injured man’s family. I’m just worried someone is using this incident to make trouble."
It turned out that earlier, Lu Jihan and Shen Kang had already discussed and settled the issue of compensation with the injured man’s family.
But after just one night, the next day the injured man’s family changed their minds, claiming they were not satisfied with the compensation amount Lu Jihan had offered and jacking up the price to five million.
Not only that, they also forcefully demanded that Lu Jihan publicly apologize to them.
"Hearing you say that, it does sound a bit suspicious." Song Yinyin nodded slightly, speaking thoughtfully.
As they were talking, Shen Kang suddenly knocked lightly on the door and walked in. "Mr. Lu, there’s something I need to report to you."
Seeing the serious look on his face, Lu Jihan realized it must be important, and nodded. "What is it?"
After coming in, Shen Kang pulled the door of the lounge close.
Only then did he speak. "Just now, in the chaos, I vaguely heard a woman’s voice that sounded very familiar. She shouted ’Madam President, watch out,’ which let the troublemakers know about Madam President’s identity..."
At these words, Lu Jihan’s thick brows knit tightly together. "Go on."
"I felt that woman’s voice sounded like Chi Wen’s."
"Chi Wen?"
Song Yinyin jolted in surprise. Chi Wen was in J City too?
Lu Jihan frowned. "How could it be her? On this business trip, other than you and the legal team, no one else came with me. Chi Wen isn’t here."
Shen Kang shook his head. "I just called back to headquarters. They said Chi Wen took leave. We can’t be sure she’s in J City, but the timing... is a bit too coincidental."
"Looks like it’s time we got to the bottom of the doubts surrounding her."
Lu Jihan said in a low voice, lost in thought.
Hearing this, Song Yinyin couldn’t help being startled. "Jinhan, you mean... you’ve already been suspicious of Chi Wen?"
He pondered for a moment, then gently took her small hand in his, and said softly:
"Actually, all this time, Shen Kang and I have never let our guard down. Even though someone pushed Xu Wei out last time and said he was the mole, both Shen Kang and I felt something was off."
