His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Jin Liwei didn't leave immediately, deciding to stay and watch for a little while until most of the workers received their lunch. Since he didn't move, the elite group accompanying him didn't dare rush him even though their own stomachs protested in hunger. 

Their eyes roamed, filled with envy, at the workers who were enjoying their delicious-smelling food before them. It was only when some of them could no longer conceal their loud, grumbling stomachs did Jin Liwei turn to them.

"My fiancée didn't reserve any shares for us because she knew that I have plans on taking you out for lunch," he said. "Too bad. You're stuck going with me to another place. You'll need to wait a little longer before you can eat."

A series of "that's okay", "we can wait", and "no problem" answered him. He nodded and gestured for them to follow him.

But before they could reach the exit, the loud screech of clanging metals assaulted everyone's ears. Jin Liwei's quick reflexes allowed him to save himself but then he saw the slower Xu Tian in danger. Not thinking about anything else, he returned and reached out to save his assistant.

"PRESIDENT!!!"

Shouts of warning and horror surrounded him, but all he could feel was immense shock and pain from the hard impact. Then it was chaos.

Jin Liwei inhaled sharply as the doctor wrapped the final length of bandage around his torso. He clenched his jaw tight to prevent himself from cursing due to the pain. He was sitting on the edge of the bed inside the hospital's private room. The room was relatively quiet despite the number of medical staff going in and out of the room in an effort to take care of him and make him as comfortable as possible. Even the hospital director was informed of his presence and promised to drop by to visit him later before he left. 

On the sofa opposite him sat Xu Tian who was also being treated by a nurse. His assistant looked terrible with angry scratches and bloody scrapes all over his face, hands and legs because Jin Liwei pushed him facedown to the ground when he saved the man from the falling metal pipes. 

Jin Liwei, on the other hand, looked better with very little external wounds on his body. He only had a couple of small scratches on his hands. His appearance, however, was very deceptive because he unfortunately took the brunt of the impact when the metal pipes landed on his back after shielding his assistant under him. 

The doctor told him that medically speaking, his overall injuries were far worse compared to what Xu Tian sustained. Unlike Xu Tian's external wounds, his injuries were mostly internal. Before the doctor treated and bandaged him, his entire back down to his posterior hips and thighs were all swollen and covered with ugly different-coloured bruises.

He wasn't going to lie. In all honesty, Jin Liwei felt like a truck had ran over him. He was bruised and battered but thankfully still alive and kicking. That was the most important thing.

"You're lucky that the pipes didn't hit your head or break any bones," the doctor said after he was finished bandaging him. "Your initial scans show that none of your organs have been injured. The safety protective gear and thick jacket protected you. No serious excessive internal bleeding either which is very good but those bruises are going to hurt like hell, please excuse my language. So don't hesitate to take the pain medications that I prescribed you."

Jin Liwei could only grunt in assent. It hurt like a son of bitch, but fortunately he could feel that the pain meds were starting to slowly kick in. 

"Your second brother is in the middle of performing a surgery right now, but I already instructed someone to inform him when he's done that you're here. I'm sure that he'll see you later."

"There's no need to do that but thank you, Doctor," Jin Liwei said, already feeling slightly better from the pain meds.

"You're welcome. Rest here for now. I'll come back later after I receive the results of your other medical tests. You don't need to stay here at the hospital overnight, but you need to carefully follow my home-care instructions if you want to recover as quickly as possible."

Jin Liwei nodded and moved to lie down on his stomach on the bed while the doctor talked to Xu Tian next. He couldn't wait for the doctor and nurses to leave so that he could call his baby girl who was most likely freaking out right now. He needed to reassure her that he was now safe.

Ketchup had immediately informed Iris right after he got injured, despite there having no surveillance cameras in the area where the accident occurred. The cat AI had her own unique methods programmed by her creator mother, the great hacker Drakon.

Right now, his company was investigating the accident. After all, the President-CEO was injured. Even without being told, he was certain that his hacker wife and cat daughter were also performing their own investigation from afar. With two computer geniuses like them, he should learn about what really caused the accident soon. 

He also requested the hacker mother and daughter's help in suppressing the news about his accident from spreading to the public, in addition to his company's efforts to do the same thing. This was to prevent any hidden vultures from taking advantage of the situation and using his injury to pull him down from his lofty position. The malicious ones would probably even accuse Jin Corporation for not following proper safety protocols because of the accident and splash mud all over his company's reputation. 

As the company head, there was no way he was going to allow any of these to happen. He always ensured that all Jin Corporation projects followed strict safety protocols. Accidents happened in the past but nothing major and always through no direct fault of his company. He was hoping that this time was no different.
