She is the most beautiful rose

Chapter 269 Return it to her

The reception hall was on the first floor. Si Qi leisurely went back to his room to put on a coat before going downstairs to greet the guests.

It is obvious who the visitor is.

He came down the spiral staircase and a smile flashed across his lips when he saw the two people standing in the living room.

"Mr. Qin, how are you?"

Qin Yanfeng raised his eyes and glanced away indifferently.

The last time the two met was at Jiuqing Temple.

There is no need to test each other at this moment.

He didn't even have any reason to be polite to Si Qi.

"I'm not here to greet you."

When Si Qi heard the word "you", his expression became somewhat intriguing.

He went down the stairs, motioned for someone to bring tea and water, sat down in the main seat with a somewhat nonchalant expression, and casually pointed to the seats on both sides towards the two people.

"I heard you come find someone."

It was estimated that twenty minutes had passed since his subordinates informed him that a guest had arrived, before tea was served as if someone was entertaining him.

They both knew the other's intentions, and the atmosphere was tense at the moment.

"Since Mr. Si Qi has received the order from above, do you still want to hide the person?"

The person who said this was Yan Wu. Although he didn't have as high a status as the boss, with his identity, he was somewhat repulsed by organizations like Linjiang that operated in secret.

Si Qi smiled slowly, completely losing the coldness and solemnity he had when he just came back.

He raised his hand and made a gesture of "please", "Then you guys go find it."

A look that showed he was not afraid of being found at all.

Yan Wu sneered, "This is your territory, isn't it easy to hide someone?"

Si Qi raised an eyebrow, but this time she didn't look at him again. Instead, she looked straight at Qin Yanfeng and asked provocatively, "I heard that there are some problems in your relationship. Are you sure she is willing to go with you?"

Qin Yanfeng was silent for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he said in a tone that did not allow for discussion, "Whether she is willing or not is a matter between her and me. You have no right to keep her."

Si Qi pursed his lips slightly and tightened his hands hanging by his side slightly.

Qin Yanfeng was unwilling to wait any longer, so he raised his hand and signaled, and someone else came in from the outer courtyard.

Si Qi's expression changed.

Logically speaking, Linjiang is his territory. No matter how powerful Qin Yanfeng is, he should not be able to order people around so easily.

Until he saw Tang Duo coming in from outside the door, escorted by two men in special combat uniforms.

The old man raised his hand to cover his nose and coughed twice. Perhaps it was because of the cold weather, or perhaps it was because he was tired from the long journey from the mountain. There was anxiety and sadness in his sunken eyes, and his breath was trembling.

"Sir, I have something to tell you."

At the same time, the call from above came to Si Qi personally. After he answered the phone, he was silent for a while and took Tang Duo into the side hall.

Yan Wu looked back at his colleagues who had come to Beijing early on vacation, and then looked at his boss, "What does he mean by this? Should we find someone first?"

A trace of annoyance flashed across Qin Yanfeng's brows. He lowered his head to look at the message that had just been sent from his phone, which contained an architectural drawing of the layout of the manor.

"Wait for Zuo Yi to come over."

Zuo Yi brought Baihu and took Dr. Shen Ci with him.

It's not that he can't confront Si Qi, but he doesn't even know Shen Manzhi's condition right now, and he's not sure whether he will cause unnecessary harm to her.

Before Si Qi came out, Zuo Yi came with his men. Shen Ci was carrying a medical box, and Bai Hu was helping him carry a heavy object.

Shen Ci was the person who knew Shen Manzhi's situation best. Bai Hu had already explained the situation to him on the way here. His frown was mostly filled with worry.

Qin Yanfeng raised his chin towards Yan Wu, who nodded, called the two brothers at the door and was about to go in.

Of course, the people from Linjiang would stop him. Yan Wu was about to take action when a tall man came out from the side hall, pulled his people away, and respectfully pointed the way upstairs, "Sir, please come this way."

Yan Wu raised his eyebrows and looked back at the boss.

The hostility in Qin Yanfeng's eyes faded slightly, and he called Shen Ci to follow.

The tall man asked someone to lead the way upstairs. He waited until everyone in the living room left before he raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his face. Just now, there was a call from the security post at the door, and there was a company of fully armed special police standing outside, and they looked like they could rush in at any time.

Although Linjiang is an independent entity and maintains certain cooperative transactions with the higher-ups, it is ultimately not done openly, so there is still some fear. However, this is Linjiang headquarters after all, so if a real fight comes to a head, it is not certain who will suffer.

Could it be that Mr. Qin from Huaicheng is planning to fight against Linjiang?
At the end of the long and dim corridor, there is a window. On a rainy day, the rain gathered into streams, leaving a blurry picture.

The two people guarding the door also left silently. The doctor came out of the room and closed the door quietly. He was a little surprised when he saw several unfamiliar faces opening the door.

The people from Linjiang stepped forward and signaled the doctor to leave.

"how is she?"

The doctor stopped walking and looked up at the tall man in front of him.

He lowered his eyes slightly, with a narrow arc at the corners of his eyes, and there was a hint of compassion in his gentleness.

But I suddenly felt that it was not compassion, but sadness.

The doctor recovered and said softly, "The condition has stabilized. He took a tranquilizer earlier, so he should be able to wake up in ten minutes."

Under what circumstances would it be necessary to take tranquilizers to stabilize the condition?
Qin Yanfeng's Adam's apple rolled.

"give me sometime."

He pushed the door open and walked in. The others stayed outside, and now they could only wait until they woke up before doing a thorough examination.

And this moment is the time that belongs exclusively to the couple.

There was only a floor lamp emitting warm light beside the bed in the room, and the air was filled with the smell of disinfectant and bitter medicine.

Under the warm light, she turned sideways and buried her head in her arms, which highlighted her pale face and the mottled scars on her exposed skin.

What does this scene look like?

Like the night Shen Manzhi came to see him.

At that time, when she saw him sleeping with a hangover, would she feel a little distressed?
Qin Yanfeng felt a dull pain in his fingertips, and even his breathing was somewhat blocked, making it hard for him to breathe.

If I had known earlier, I would have taken advantage of the alcohol to not let her leave that night, or... or I would have gone with her.

But that night, he was the first to say, "I will never look for her again."

She must have taken it seriously and must have been disappointed in him.

Shen Manzhi...

Why did my throat feel so hoarse even when I wanted to call her?

The person on the bed's eyelids moved slightly, as if he was about to wake up. Qin Yanfeng frowned, turned sideways, and leaned against the wall at the entrance.

Knowing that the person inside had woken up, Shen Ci hurried in with the medicine box. Baihu quickly glanced at Qin Yanfeng and followed him in.

Shen Manzhi gradually regained consciousness, and then he felt the pain all over his body, as if it was falling apart. When he saw the two people in front of him, he felt a little dazed, and when he opened his mouth, his throat felt like it was cut by a knife.

"Why are you here?"

Obviously, the two of them also saw her condition and their faces did not look very good.

Shen Ci dipped a cotton swab in water and smeared it on her lips, "Stop talking, your throat is inflamed."

Bai Hu was also very worried, "Ancestor, you came to look for Si Qi yesterday afternoon, and you didn't come out until the evening. I was worried that something happened to you. I couldn't contact you, and I couldn't get in. I went back to the mountain to look for Elder Tang, but there was no news of Si Qi. I suspected that Si Qi had trapped you here. The foreign side was pressing, and I was really worried that something happened to you in there, so... I went to find Mr. Qin."

Shen Manzhi frowned, "Who?"

Baihu also knew that this matter was not handled well. If their people could break into Linjiang, he would not have to ask other people for help. However, Linjiang was protected by the people above.

He had a desperate tone, "He is your only family member, only in this way can we have a reason to come in. You can beat him or scold him as much as you want, but we really have to leave here as soon as possible..."

"he came?"

I had already prepared myself to be scolded by my ancestors, but I didn't expect her to ask this question.

Baihu was stunned for a moment, but did not look around. Shen Ci was just doing his duty by drawing blood for her physical examination.

"I'm here. I negotiated with Si Qi. I should leave now. He asked me to return this to you."

Shen Manzhi watched him take something out of his pocket.

A yellow triangle symbol with a coin wrapped in the raised area in the middle.

The only thing left for him was also returned to her.

Upon hearing this, Shen Manzhi lowered her eyes and watched Shen Ci draw another tube of blood from her.

She retracted her arm, Shen Ci looked up, and unexpectedly saw the moisture in her eyes, and said softly, "Does it hurt?"

Shen Manzhi shook his head, "It's okay."

Baihu stood aside and said nothing, but he felt a sense of anger in his chest. There were some things he could not say, as Mr. Qin had already told him.

The couple have already separated, so there is no need to have any attachment to each other. He just came to Si Qi to ask for someone as a family member. He has fulfilled his duty and should leave.

However, Mr. Qin did seem to be indifferent, otherwise he would not have mobilized so many people and asked so many people to wait outside.

The instrument Shen Ci brought was very advanced, and the results came out very quickly. He took a rough look at the trend of the data graph, and his brows furrowed more and more.

"Go back for treatment immediately. Your attack is quite serious this time. It has damaged your brain nerves again. You may experience hallucinations, faint, etc."

Baihu's expression suddenly changed and he cursed softly.

Shen Ci packed up the equipment and looked at the wound on Shen Manzhi's hand. It was clearly an act of self-harm.

When a person is in extreme pain and has to force himself to stay awake, he will not hesitate to use any severity when he is in pain.

He knew Shen Manzhi too well.

"Where else do you feel uncomfortable?"

Shen Manzhi shook his head and nodded, "A little tired."

"It's normal to feel tired. You haven't had a good night's sleep for two days and two nights, and you've injured yourself all over. How can you not be tired?"

His tone was a little bad, and he was more angry at her for not fighting back against him.

Shen Manzhi didn't care, "Where's Si Qi?"

Baihu was so angry that his teeth itched, "Mr. Tang is here, I want to talk to him about something."

Shen Manzhi's expression froze. She probably guessed what was going on, otherwise Si Qi would not let her leave.

After packing up and preparing to leave, Baihu went out first, and Qin Yanfeng was no longer outside the door.

Shen Manzhi walked to the door and suddenly stopped, smelling a familiar smell.

Shen Ci followed behind him and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

She rubbed the triangle symbol gently between her fingertips, said nothing, and walked out of the room quickly.
