Shi Su spent the whole day idly at the hospital, and by evening, Jun and Chu Jiu had packed dinner from a nearby restaurant to eat with her. She was so hungry that her stomach was growling, and while resting on the hospital bed after rehab, she missed the braised pork ribs she had eaten a few days ago. As Chu Jiu entered, she quickly opened the food containers, which contained pickled fish, medicinal soup, and two of Shi Su’s favorite home-cooked dishes. The three of them began to dig into the food around the white table by the bed when suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the ward. No one else knew she was hospitalized, so the visitor definitely wasn’t connected to her. Shi Su continued stuffing food into her mouth, nudging Jun with her foot to signal her to answer the door. Jun glared at her, "I’m your boss!" Shi Su pointed to her neck with a look that said, "I’m the patient, I have my reasons" with a tea-like demeanor. Jun gave her an exasperated look and saw Chu Jiu also pointing to her arm, indicating she was a patient too. Jun had no choice but to get up to open the door, asking as she went, "Who is it?" This private room only had the assigned nurse for rounds, who would notify beforehand and then enter, not knocking and waiting outside for so long. A very polite male voice sounded from outside the ward: "Hello, is Miss Shi Su in this ward? I’m from the Shengyue Hotel’s dining department, here to deliver a meal for Miss Shi Su." Isn’t that the famous five-star hotel near the hospital? And it’s very expensive! Jun turned back to look at Shi Su with a suspicious face. Shi Su was obviously confused too; after swallowing her food, she, along with Chu Jiu, looked bewilderedly towards the door. The delivery person outside handed the insulated food box towards the door very courteously, "Hello, Mr. Yi ordered this meal for Miss Shi Su. It contains four dishes and a soup, plus a box of our hotel’s specialty pastries, all for Miss Shi Su." Jun initially didn’t react, and the delivery person quickly handed part of the food box into her hands and placed the other part on the cabinet near the ward door, smiled, bowed slightly, and left. Seeing him leave, Jun closed the door, and as she turned around, she raised the food box in her hand with a shocked face at Shi Su: "Mr. Yi?" This text is hosted at novel⦿fire.net Shi Su showed no extra expression, revealing no emotion as she put down her chopsticks, "I’m full." Chu Jiu was stunned, "Huh? There’s so much left, Jun and I can’t finish it." "We’ll eat ours, throw those away." Shi Su didn’t even glance at the boxes labeled with Shengyue Hotel in Jun’s hands and by the door. Jun examined the contents in her hands, "I thought it was some four dishes and a soup, but it’s actually Shengyue’s famous set. These are all foods you love, Shi Su. The person who ordered seems to know your taste well, and the pastry is Shengyue’s exclusive chiffon cake, never sold to non-hotel guests, nor delivered. It’s impossible to buy even when queued." She glanced at Shi Su, "Are you sure you don’t want to eat it?" Shi Su didn’t even lift her eyelids, "Throw it away." Chu Jiu couldn’t understand but dared not say anything, only noticing that Jun seemed to be investigating something. Shi Su’s cold and determined demeanor was also incomprehensible, so she just kept her head down, quietly picking at her food. Shi Su didn’t go home that night; Jing Jihan received the news as soon as she entered the hospital that afternoon. In the evening, Lu Zhao called and clearly explained the major and minor matters that had occurred at the company over the past two days. He had a hunch that due to Jing Yuanbin’s increasingly frequent and obvious moves, Mr. Jing might be returning soon. After explaining the company’s issues, Lu Zhao looked at the messages and photos received on his other phone, hesitating slightly before saying, "Miss Shi Su needs two days of rehab at the hospital. We’ve also had people stationed on her ward floor to strengthen security measures. Apart from the hit-and-run driver’s family trying to enter the hospital and being stopped, no suspicious people were found. But..." Jing Jihan heard the hesitation in his words and stated coldly, "Continue." "During dinner, someone from the nearby Shengyue Hotel suddenly came to deliver a meal to Miss Shi Su. As the person wasn’t involving the hit-and-run driver, they weren’t stopped by our people, but we didn’t expect it was directly for Miss Shi Su’s meal. The one who ordered was Yi City from Four Seas Entertainment." Lu Zhao paused again before continuing, "But Miss Shi Su didn’t eat it and threw it all away, directly into the hospital’s hallway automatic disinfecting trash can." Jing Jihan’s tall cold figure stood by the window, eyes quietly looking, saying nothing. Mr. Jing didn’t speak, but Lu Zhao felt a faint chill creep up his back from the other side of the phone; he said no more as he had reported everything necessary. His task was complete. Though he didn’t quite understand why, when there was any need to assign work, Mr. Jing would usually hang up cold and decisively after discussing business, but now he was making exceptions because of the woman named Shi Su. After investigating the car crash incident at the bridge over the river, it seemed there was intent to deploy people to ensure Shi Su’s personal safety. This order was never explicitly stated by Mr. Jing, but Lu Zhao sensed it. Lu Zhao, known for his single-minded work approach, surprisingly seemed to catch on for once. Clearly, the hit-and-run driver was just a lead to find the mastermind, not an important subject of care. Comparatively, the primary concern was Shi Su. Past ten o’clock at night, Jun and Chu Jiu had returned to their respective homes. There was a TV in the ward airing a variety show. Nearly eleven o’clock, the phone chimed with a text notification sound. Shi Su picked up her phone to check; the displayed name was Ji Han, which she noted. [Not coming back tonight?] Shi Su was about to reply but then paused. Why does she need to explain her whereabouts to him? Shi Su kept repeating to herself: he was just someone she saved and is temporarily staying at her house; he would leave at any time. There were no ties between them. After silently rehearsing this in her mind for a long time, she put her phone down. A half hour passed, and Jing Jihan still hadn’t received a reply from Shi Su. The man, with deep dark eyes, looked at the quiet phone and directly called her. However, just as the call connected, it was immediately hung up by Shi Su. "Sorry, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Sorry..." For the first time, Jing Jihan, who had always refused others, was coldly distanced, ignored, and even ruthlessly hung up on by a woman: "..."
