"You…" Zhao Yichen was speechless before Sheng Ruming. He glanced at Luo Qintian but the man was silent and didn't object.

The old man didn't look at them and just said while waving his hand, "Don't talk here. Go out if you want. Let her rest. Dare to make trouble before me?!"

The two adult men stopped. Zhao Yichen bowed and left the ICU while Sheng Ruming didn't budge from his place. Luo Lixi thought for a while and then turned her sight towards Luo Qintian 

"Grandfather, I can't go to the company yesterday…" Luo Lixi removed the mask from her face. Only then the men saw her pale face clearly.

The old man felt like his heart would drop. He was feeling so guilty that he was having difficulty facing her. 'I am responsible for all her misfortunes... '

"It can wait. You have to get well soon." He rubbed her head for a few seconds and stood up. "I will investigate this matter. By the way, what happened to you?"

Luo Qintian asked gravely. 

"I don't even know exactly what happened to you."

Luo Lixi stared at his face. No one knew actually what had happened to her but they knew something terrible surely was done.

"I… I was…" Luo Lixi hesitated to say. 'If I lie, he will surely find out. He can read my expressions like the back of his hand. what to do?!...'

Sheng Ruming saw her dilemma and struggle to make something to say. He turned at Luo Qintian and spoke out, "She was worn out from the pressure. In the car, she wanted to rest but the AC malfunctioned and something happened…"

At his explanation, the man glanced at him. The next moment, he turned towards Luo Lixi as if to ask if it was true. She in return just nodded her head slightly.

"You… take rest. I will ask Wang's daughter to step up for a few days to handle the official matters." Then he glanced around the room and said while frowning, "Change into a better room with good facilities. This ICU doesn't suit your status and standard."

Then he faced Sheng Ruming and said in irritation, "Why are you still here?! Leave her. I will ask her cousin to come."

When Luo Lixi heard him, she hurriedly spoke out in her hoarse voice, "Grandfather, let him be. Also, don't tell others about me. I will be okay."

The old man glanced towards the two and wanted to leave the room while shaking his head. 

But, as soon as he turned around to go away, Sheng Ruming's silhouette blocked his sight. 

The old man, the kind of pride he had, wouldn't move aside for another person unless he wanted. 

"Insolent brat! Don't test my patience! Move...." In reply, Sheng Ruming raised his cane and handed him the thing. Luo Qintian didn't say anything more and silently took the thing and left the room.

When he saw the row of men who were standing before the ICU, his mood became very complicated. 

Zhao Yichen stepped up and asked, "Elder Luo, she…"

Luo Qintian didn't change his face and just spat out in grievance, "It's miss Luo for you. Also, take back your men. Don't need to be in charge of Xixi."

Bi Tang felt like the man was accusing Zhao Yichen for what happened. Even though he didn't say anything, it was apparent as a piece of white paper.

He stepped forward and bowed to apologise, "Elder Luo, it's our failure to protect miss Luo. Even though she told us not to follow her, we shouldn't have obeyed her…"

Luo Qintian felt like he wanted to beat this huge guy. He opened his lips and spat out, "Nobody feels good if so many people tag along like glue. It can't be helped. You should have known what you can obey and what not."

"Yes. We are at fault." Bi Tang bowed deeply. Zhao Yichen glanced at him and didn't say anything. His sight fell on the ICU's door. He wanted to say something but decided against it in the end.

The old man saw him and muttered, "They said it was due to the car's AC going wrong. How can an expensive car have something go wrong with this? Go check…"

The next second, Bi Tang chirped in, "Mr. Sheng's bodyguard came and took the car away to investigate."

Several times, both the other two men turned at him to glare. The innocent bodyguard glanced around but didn't find anything that could relieve his anxiety and frustration. 

"You all leave. That brat said he will take matters in hand. Let me see what he will do."

After he said his piece of mind, Luo Qintian turned around to leave. Zhao Yichen glanced at the room's door again and followed the old man. 

The other bodyguards hesitated whether they should leave or not. But when Zhao Yichen turned towards them, Bi Tang immediately chased towards him.

"Let's go. If Bi Tang is leaving, we will have to leave too." The other men also followed the three men. Soon, the place before the ICU was emptied. When the nurses passed by this area, they sighed in relief. 

In the ICU, Sheng Ruming helped Luo Lixi to put on her oxygen mask again. He asked the nurse who came in to give her medication if she could change into a better room.

But as the nurse told him she needed to be observed for one more day, he didn't say anything, just sat beside her to hug her while she took a rest.

After several hours, when the man was standing before a low table, busy pouring warm water for her, his phone rang out. 

Luo Lixi was currently awake. She turned at him as the man took out his phone. It was a call from Xiao Huang. 

"Boss, we checked the CCTV and got the suspicious man who was loitering beside miss Luo's car some days ago."
