Chapter 2095: You Won't Survive

“There are no monitors in the hospital room, don’t think that just because you got out of the interrogation room with some clever moves, the Lan Family would dare contact you. They wouldn’t; you can’t escape. We’re interrogating you because we’re mindful of your life. If the evidence is destroyed, we could just investigate again. There’s always going to be a time when we catch the Lan Family by the tail, but you won’t survive.”

The woman’s eyelids twitched, she held back her tears. Her face was flushed from crying so hard earlier, and now, scared by a few words, showed a sickly pale.

Yaen Chi continued, “Also, if the Lan Family really has that kind of ability to find you, do you think they would take you away or just kill you outright?”

The woman dug her nails harder into her palm, her alabaster fingertips losing all color.

“I’ve said all I need to, think about it carefully.”

Yaen Chi decided there was no point in saying more; he gave Li Jian a kick, “Aren’t you going to take her away?”

Li Jian stood straight, his pant leg just wobbled a bit, “Then you better ask her if she wants to leave.”

Yaen Chi was at the end of his patience, “Are you really sick or something? If you take her out, can you handle the consequences? If something really happens, where will you find another witness?”

Li Jian lifted his eyebrows, looking defiant as if he cared nothing, “Anyway, I can’t persuade her, she automatically blocks my words. Either you convince her to leave, or you coax her; I’ll stand guard for you two.”

What kind of guard is that!

“Don’t want to leave, right? I’ll call the boss, he can deal with you.”

Li Jian didn’t stop him, muttering quietly, “Yesterday, Bo Yuman asked me about you…”

“Stay put!”

Yaen Chi blurted out, clenching his teeth, his cheekbones sharp like chiseled stones, “Stay as long as you want; I’m going out for some air.”

Li Jian, “You take her with you…”

Yaen Chi reached into Li Jian’s pocket, grabbed a military knife, flicked it open, and pressed it against Li Jian’s neck.

Damn, that temper!

Li Jian had no doubt how long it would take for the knife to sink into his neck; after all, this kid had wanted to kill him since childhood.

He raised both hands in surrender, “I’m not going; I’ll stay here and keep watch over her. You go get some fresh air and come back when you’re done.”

Yaen Chi tossed the knife back to him, shouted twice for the orderlies, but got no response. Instead, a soldier came in and helped him out.

Only then did Yaen Chi realize, there were four guards at the door, and the hallway was filled with plainclothes personnel walking or standing around.

Several familiar faces, all were Li Jian’s trusted men, no wonder he was so confident.

Yaen Chi didn’t go anywhere, just stayed by Xu Shu.

He went to the cafeteria for lunch with him, and when Yaen Chi returned to the hospital room, he saw Li Jian ordering a bunch of spicy Sichuan dishes, causing the whole room to feel choked with pepper, the smell giving him a headache. He turned around and walked out.

Xu Shu’s office didn’t have a resting room, just a double sofa which was uncomfortable to lean on; lying sideways would make his back touch the sofa’s back, and his legs couldn’t straighten, making him uncomfortable, he returned to the hospital room, driving Li Jian and the woman into the hallway.

He called two people in to ventilate and then locked the door before going back to bed for a nap.

…

Ye Wanting finished her class, and after changing clothes in the dormitory, she went out.

She hailed a cab, first going to the cake shop to buy a cake, then walked briskly towards the hospital.

Her timing wasn’t too early or late; dinner would be in an hour. She thought she’d ask Yaen Chi what he’d want to eat then, but as she reached the entrance, two men standing at the door stopped her.
