Shanghai Embroidery Lady

Chapter 75
Seeing He Manling coming, Ye Zijin tactfully got up to say goodbye, and before leaving, she did not forget to thank her politely, "Miss He, thank you for saving me last night."

He Manling wrote lightly: "Miss Ye is polite, you also saved me at the same time, so it's even."

He Manling sat down by the bed, and asked Meng Haoxiang gently: "Want some fruit? I'll peel you an apple."

Meng Haoxiang glanced at Ye Zijin, and said, "I've already had the porridge that Zijin sent just now, and I don't want to eat now, so you don't need to be busy."

Zijin... He Manling's smile froze at the corner of her lips, Ye Zijin felt her face was burning hot, she knew Meng Haoxiang did it on purpose, could this be considered as a shield...

Ye Zijin realized that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so she hurriedly bid farewell to the two of them and left the ward quickly.

After Ye Zijin went out, He Manling walked to the window silently, opened the window, and the cool wind swept into the room like gossamer, she quietly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around and looked up, smiled helplessly, and said: " Hao Xiang, you don't need to use Ye Zijin to force me to quit, if one day I don't want to wait anymore, I won't look back at you again."

Meng Haoxiang's expression was as usual, without any strange emotion, he was silent for a moment and said: "Manling, I didn't use her to force you..."

"Enough!" He Manling finally couldn't help but stop, she didn't want to listen anymore, she knew, she knew everything, after loving him for so long, she had already seen his thoughts clearly, but she was always Sadly self-deception.

"Manling, I'm sorry." Meng Haoxiang felt that there was no need to hide his true feelings. He knew everything He Manling had done for him these years, but if he didn't love him, he didn't love him. He only has family affection for He Manling.

He Manling smiled sadly, like falling flowers after the rain, and said slowly: "But Ye Zijin doesn't love you, don't think I don't know why she came to see you, I'm afraid what she's really worried about is The young master in the prison and the clerk in her shop."

Meng Haoxiang didn't answer, He Manling looked at him unwillingly, she didn't want to admit defeat, let alone give up.

Suddenly, a man walked in.

"I said Boss Meng, why did you get beaten up by a bunch of gangsters for being so good, tsk tsk tsk..." Feng Li joked with great interest.

Meng Haoxiang said calmly: "Master Feng laughed, you didn't come here to see me, did you?"

Feng Li looked careless, went straight to the sofa and sat down, squinted at Meng Haoxiang and said: "Anyway, we are all from Jin'antang, and we all work for Lord Hua. You are in charge of Baohui Foreign Firm and the casino, and I am in charge of Nishang Da. Stage. You are injured, let me take a look, is there anything wrong with expressing concern for fellow students?"

There was a calm smile on the corner of Meng Haoxiang's lips. He glanced at Feng Li, "Then I would like to thank Young Master Feng for his care. I'm fine and I won't die."

He Manling knew that Feng Li had always been quite dissatisfied with Meng Haoxiang, and Hua Jinkun had always entrusted Meng Haoxiang with important responsibilities, which made Feng Li, the adopted son, very embarrassed in the gang.Feng Li actually took the initiative to visit Meng Haoxiang today, which made He Manling feel a little strange.

"Have you found out who did it?" Feng Li said as he took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.

Before he had time to take a puff, he was snatched by He Manling and thrown out. He Manling said coldly, "This is the ward. If Young Master Feng wants to smoke, please go out and smoke."

Feng Li glanced at He Manling, and said with a smile: "Manling, I heard that you were in the foreign firm last night, so you weren't frightened? Next time I will send more people to protect you. If there is anything wrong with you, I won't So that I can explain to my adoptive father."

He Manling walked to Meng Haoxiang's side, and lazily said, "I have someone from Haoxiang to protect me, so I won't bother you, Young Master Feng."

Meng Haoxiang pointed to the "Current Affairs News" on the table, and said: "Since Young Master Feng is interested in what happened last night, you might as well read the newspaper yourself. If you are willing to help me catch those who escaped, I will be very grateful."

Feng Li pretended to pick up the newspaper and looked at it for a few times, and said angrily: "They are all fucking people, and the foreign firm of Jin'antang would dare to rob them! I will talk to Inspector Liu in the patrol room later, and I must take this Now that the matter has been found out, the gangsters there don’t want to live anymore. By the way, you don’t have to worry about foreign firms and casinos while you’re recuperating, I’ll take care of it for you.”

Meng Haoxiang smiled lightly, how could he not guess what Feng Li was thinking, he finally got to the point.

"Master Feng, don't worry, my injury is fine. Besides, there are many affairs on the Nishang stage, so how can I add trouble to Master Feng?" Meng Haoxiang bowed slightly, and easily took a sip of water from the glass next to him.

The atmosphere in the ward was a little stiff, and all three of them hid their thoughts and said nothing.At this time, a nurse lady with bright eyes and red lips opened the door and walked in. She took the medicine out of the tin box and said in a gentle and soft voice, "Mr. Meng, it's time to take the medicine."

Seeing that there was not much water in Meng Haoxiang's water glass, He Manling added some more to the glass. The poured water was still a little hot, so the nurse put down the medicine and left.

Feng Li still looked at the back of the nurse leaving, smiled sarcastically, and said, "The hospital run by this foreigner is good. Even the nurses are so good-looking, prettier than the girls on the big stage."

He Manling sneered: "Didn't uncle entrust you with the neon clothes stage? There are so many beauties around you all day long, and Young Master Feng still cares about a little nurse?"

Feng Li had a half-smile, and despite He Manling's taunts, he sat with his legs crossed, leaning on the back of the sofa with his arms outstretched, and casually looked out the window.

He Manling picked up the glass water cup, blew in it, and tested that the temperature was just right, so she held the pills in her palm and handed them to Meng Haoxiang, and said softly: "The water is no longer hot, take the medicine. I heard that this It’s imported medicine, called penicillin, it’s very effective, and this hospital dispenses the best medicine.”

Feng Li jokingly said, "It's a beautiful thing to be accompanied by a beautiful woman."

Meng Haoxiang slowly stretched out his hand to pick up the pill, and was about to take it when he heard a "bang" at the door!Ye Zijin slammed open the door and barged in, everyone present looked at her in surprise.

Ye Zijin was about to say something, but when she saw Feng Li on the sofa, she immediately swallowed the words back.After a pause, he walked to Meng Haoxiang angrily, knocked down the pill in his hand, snatched the cup from He Manling's hand, poured water on Meng Haoxiang's face, and cursed angrily: "Meng Haoxiang, you liar!"

He Manling opened her eyes wide in surprise, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe Meng Haoxiang's face, and then shouted at Ye Zijin: "What are you doing, are you crazy!"

Feng Li also stood up and yelled a word towards the door, and immediately two burly men rushed in.

"Drag out this woman who is disrespectful to Boss Meng!" Feng Li gave Ye Zijin a hard look.

"Stop!" Meng Haoxiang wiped the water off his face with a handkerchief, turned to Ye Zijin and said, "Miss Ye, what happened, maybe there is a misunderstanding?"

Ye Zijin said anxiously for a moment: "You didn't keep your word, you promised to let him go, why I heard from your subordinates that Xiao Wu has been beaten to death by your people!"

Meng Haoxiang frowned and said, "Who did you listen to?"

Ye Zijin looked at Meng Haoxiang, then quietly glanced at the pills on the ground, and stepped on the one next to his feet.She couldn't be too obvious, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "When I went downstairs just now, I heard from your subordinates... that a young man died in the place where people were detained in the casino. His name seems to be Shen Xiaowu!"

He Manling pushed Ye Zijin away and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Jin'antang will not kill people indiscriminately. Even if Shen Xiaowu owes gambling debts, our people will not beat him to death."

Meng Haoxiang looked at the abnormal Ye Zijin, smiled faintly, and suddenly said to the two men at the door: "You two take Ms. Ye to the detention room to confirm, and see if the dead person is Shen Xiaowu. If not, send Ms. Ye back directly. Family, if she is really dead, you can bring her to see me again."

The two people guarding the door responded respectfully, and then came over to ask Ye Zijin to leave.

Ye Zijin was worried that Meng Haoxiang would not understand, so she gave him a hard look before leaving, and said, "Meng Haoxiang, if you dare to lie to me, I will curse you to die here immediately."

Meng Haoxiang didn't speak, and never looked at Ye Zijin again.

A glint of gloom flashed in Feng Li's eyes, and he sat back on the sofa with a sneer on his face. He played with the matchmaker in his hand, and said casually: "Boss Meng, a woman dares to bully you. When did you change your mind?" How can Man Ling feel so sorry for her?"

He Manling smiled, and replied: "Young Master Feng, you know how to be sympathetic and cherish jade, so don't delay your date with beauties here."

Feng Li got up and patted the folds of his suit, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said leisurely: "Okay, then I won't bother you, I wish Boss Meng a speedy recovery. Don't hold on to business matters, the most important thing is to heal your wounds, we Anyway, they are all from Jin'antang, if you need help, just say it, you are welcome."

"Thank you, Young Master Feng, I won't send you away." Meng Haoxiang replied politely, his face frosty.

Ye Zijin was led by Meng Haoxiang's men to the place where Xinda Casino held people.When she was sitting in the car, her heart was still beating violently, worrying if she had revealed any flaws just now.

It turned out that when she came out of the ward just now, Ye Zijin accidentally saw two people talking mysteriously on the balcony, one of them was dressed in white and dressed like a nurse, and she had seen that man before, he was one of Meng Haoxiang's subordinates.

Ye Zijin became suspicious, so she approached quietly to eavesdrop.Only after hearing this did I realize what they were talking about changing the medicine, and after listening carefully for a while, I realized that the man seemed to want the woman dressed as a nurse to change Meng Haoxiang's medicine, and I vaguely heard a young master Feng mentioned in the conversation between the two.

Relating to the scene of eating at Hua Jinkun's house that night, Ye Zijin knew that Feng Li and Meng Haoxiang had long been at odds.She suddenly realized that all of this was an internal struggle in Jin'antang, and Meng Haoxiang had already been plotted against!
Ye Zijin saw the nurse coming from the balcony, then went directly to the pharmacy to get the medicine, then entered Meng Haoxiang's ward and came out again after a while.Ye Zijin was very anxious at the time, fearing that Meng Haoxiang would die immediately if he took the poison, so she didn't care about that for a while, so she rushed in. Fortunately, Meng Haoxiang hadn't taken the pill yet.

Ye Zijin recalled the scene just now, it was really thrilling, if she was one step behind, Meng Haoxiang would have eaten it.But at that time, she didn't expect that Feng Li would be in the room too. If she made a mistake by rushing in, Feng Li would definitely not let her go.It was only now that she realized how cruel the struggle of the gang was, and she would lose her life if she was negligent.

The car drove smoothly on the road, and arrived at an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs after half an hour.

After the two men got out of the car, they walked to the door of the warehouse, gave some instructions to the guards, and then a small door on the side of the warehouse was opened.

Ye Zijin entered the warehouse under the leadership of the two men, who only asked her to wait at the door, and after a while, they saw a thin man walk out, the light in the warehouse was very dim, and Ye Zijin approached the door. Only then did he see the detainee's face clearly.

"Xiao Wu!" Ye Zijin whispered.

The visitor was disheveled and pale. When he saw Ye Zijin, his eyes lit up and he said in a trembling voice, "Zijin, save me..."
