Surprise! The little puppy I raised is the heir of a wealthy family

Chapter 174 Pay the price

Turning to look at the lifeless body on the ground, he took a deep breath, his expression gradually softening from his initial indifference. "Yanqing, you can go without worry. I will never let this matter go. I will make Old Madam Chen pay for this - she will be buried with you!"

After saying this, Xiao Chuyi strode out of the cold room, leaving behind a determined and lonely figure.

Chen Yue, who had just been crying bitterly, suddenly stopped crying, as if the tears had never existed before.

Although there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, there was a barely perceptible smile at the corners of her mouth, and that smile seemed to carry a hint of cunning and complacency.

Then she gently tapped the tiny communicator on her ear with her hand. The action was so subtle that almost no one would notice it.

A cold and deep male voice rang out in my ears: "Well done. Your performance is truly admirable. This way, we can put that stubborn old lady Chen and the Xiao family into a fight, and everyone else can just watch the show from the sidelines. For so many years, the Chen family's ancestor has always been so arrogant and domineering. Now it's time to let her taste the bitterness of helplessness and frustration."

After ending the call, he turned around and stared towards the operating room.

Through the transparent glass, you can see the busy figures inside.

The doctors in white protective suits were concentrating on performing a difficult surgical rescue operation.

There was a woman lying on the operating table. Her face was covered in blood and her skin was unusually pale. Her condition looked quite grim.

Even so, thanks to the unremitting efforts of many medical staff, the woman finally retained the slightest sign of life.

In this extremely dark and silent space, the only thing that can illuminate everything is the several bright shadowless lamps hanging high above the head.

One of the beams of light just happened to illuminate the side of his face, while the other half of his face was still hidden in the deep darkness.

The strong contrast between light and dark creates a strange and mysterious effect, especially the smile on the part of the face illuminated by the light, which is even more inexplicably terrifying.

Although that smile was not very obvious, its meaning was profound and complex.

Gradually, he slowly moved his hand in front of the window glass, as if he was admiring a carefully crafted work of art up close, his eyes deep and focused.

After a long moment, he finally let out a faint but extremely cold laugh, and whispered to himself in a slightly sarcastic yet complacent tone, "Don't worry, I will never allow you to leave this world so easily. After all, it's rare to find someone like you who can have such a huge influence on both Old Lady Chen and Young Master Xiao. If you lose them, it will undoubtedly be a great pity!"

At the same moment he finished speaking, the woman who had been lying unconscious on the operating table suddenly raised her body as if she had received some kind of strong electric shock, and then spat out a mouthful of bright red blood.

This scene prompted the attending physician standing next to him to react quickly. He made an OK gesture to his colleagues and nodded slightly.

This means that through their concerted efforts, the patient finally escaped from the life-threatening situation safely.

Half a month passed quietly.

The sanatorium still has a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, and is filled with the faint fragrance of flowers.

Su Yanqing sat quietly in the wheelchair, and the medical staff slowly pushed her along the gravel path to the fountain.

The sound of clear water echoes in the air like a soft melody.

The warm and soft sunlight penetrated the gaps in the sparse clouds and sprinkled on Su Yanqing's body, bathing her in this rare warmth.

This comfortable feeling not only made Su Yanqing feel that her physical fatigue was gradually dissipating, but her mind also seemed to be gently wrapped by an invisible force, making her feel unprecedentedly relaxed.

Su Yanqing turned her neck slightly. Although the movement was small, it revealed a bit of laziness.

Then she raised her face slightly so that the sunlight shone directly on her cheeks. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world was lit up.

The medical staff accompanying her seemed fascinated by her. She spoke in a low, yet admiring voice, "Ms. Su, since I've been in this profession, I've cared for countless patients. Most people appear very weak and frail upon recovery. Even if their faces were once delicate and beautiful, they often lose their former charm due to the pain and suffering they endure. But you are truly unique, maintaining that captivating charm."

Su Yanqing did not show any pride because of these words. She just slowly shifted her gaze from her cheek enjoying the warm sunshine, and looked at the medical staff thoughtfully. She was silent for a while, and only after a long time did she slowly curl up the corners of her mouth and reveal a faint smile, as if to say "Thank you for the compliment."

Seeing such a response, the medical staff shrugged helplessly and curled their lips slightly, as if they were both accustomed to Su Yanqing's attitude and felt a little helpless.

Cautiously, she leaned down, almost nuzzling her face into Su Yanqing's ear, and deliberately lowered her voice to ask, "Miss Su, being so unwilling to talk isn't a good thing. It's been over half a month now, and no matter how hard we try to communicate with you, to understand your inner thoughts, you always choose to smile in response. There are so many rumors about you now, some even speculate that you've lost the ability to express yourself."

Su Yanqing did not show much emotion when she heard this. She just calmly withdrew her gaze and turned to look at the fountain water surging in front of her.

She was tragically injured in a sudden attack one night about two weeks ago and was rushed to this specially arranged rehabilitation center after a thrilling rescue.

Since she moved in here, both the medical staff and other staff have shown her great care and concern.

However, behind all these considerate services, no one was willing to tell Su Yanqing who actually paid for her treatment.

Not to mention who has been paying for her medical expenses for so long?

This question circled in her mind countless times.

The only thing that is clear is that Su Yanqing cannot leave this place at the moment.

This place is like a magnificent yet closed cage, making her feel invisible pressure.

Although everyone seemed to be taking care of her, in reality everyone was secretly watching her every move.
