The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot

Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Pei Jue Gets Injured Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Pei Jue Gets Injured Su Mi hadn’t heard what Shen Zhongshuang said clearly.

Qingwu turned back from the front passenger seat and looked at Shen Zhongshuang and Su Mi.

“Second Brother hasn’t been home for two days, are we going back?”

Shen Zhongshuang quickly took out his phone, turned on the camera to check his own face, “Really professional, didn’t hit my face! Then it’s fine, let’s go home.”

If Zuo Wanjun saw him injured, no one in the Shen Family would get any sleep!

After confirming there were no injuries on his face, Shen Zhongshuang let out a sigh of relief, glancing sideways at Su Mi beside him.

“Ms. Su should come along.”

“Ah? Can I? It’s really late now; isn’t it inappropriate to go without prior notice? I haven’t prepared a gift for Mrs. Shen either.”

Qingwu shook her head, “It’s okay, Mom has asked several times, she’s really looking forward to your visit.”

The car engine started, heading in the direction of Leisure Inn. The night was growing ever denser.

Just as they left, a car parked amid the reeds also drove off, heading in the completely opposite direction.

…

Leisure Inn Phoenix Building, Shen Mansion.

The Shen family had already gone to bed. After settling Su Mi into the guest room, Qingwu also returned to her own room.

As soon as she returned, her phone rang.

Annie’s anxious voice came through the receiver, “Miss, have you gone to bed? Could you please come over and take a look at the boss? He’s not in good condition!”

Qingwu frowned slightly, “Where is he?”

“At the Pei Mansion, the boss adamantly refuses to go to the hospital, please come and take a look!”

“Give me two minutes.”

The Pei Mansion was just opposite; Qingwu had barely reached the entrance when she saw Annie looking at her, face full of worry and tension, stained with quite a bit of blood.

“Miss! The boss is in the room, I’ll take you there.”

The enormous Pei Mansion formed a stark contrast to the bustling Shen Mansion, the house was eerily quiet, and the sound of flowing springs in the yard was crystal clear.

Opening Pei Jue’s room door, an overwhelming scent of blood hit straight on!

Qingwu frowned, “Why not go to the hospital?”

“The boss said it’s nothing serious… we couldn’t persuade him, so we had to call you; thankfully you were willing to come over…”

Qingwu approached, looking at Pei Jue before her.

He had his eyes tightly closed, his wounds seemed to have undergone simple treatment without signs of inflammation. However, the injury on his wrist, for some reason, had torn open the bandage, and blood was seeping out.

“First aid kit.”

“I’ll get it right away!”

Annie rushed out to grab the first aid kit, and upon returning saw Qingwu’s hand resting on Pei Jue’s forehead.

The temperature was high, probably a reaction from the injury.

After reapplying medication and re-bandaging Pei Jue’s wrist, Qingwu carefully inspected his other wounds, most of which were sustained again during the explosion at the Nanhuali Warehouse.

“Miss, is the boss alright?”

“He’s alright, he’s just feverish; once the fever comes down, he’ll wake up.”

Annie released a breath, having spent the night on edge, now finally able to relax a little.

Qingwu looked up at her, her voice carried an undertone of authority, “Come over here.”

Annie instinctively replied, “Yes!”

For some reason, facing the frowning young miss in front of her felt even more nerve-wracking than encountering a principal during school days. If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, Annie almost felt like standing at attention…

Qingwu motioned to Annie, “Pei Jue is temporarily fine. Come with me, do your wounds not need bandaging?”

Annie was momentarily stunned!

She had been so worried about the boss that she had forgotten about her own injuries. It was normal for an assassin to get hurt on a mission, and she had been ready for Qingwu to question her when she called her over.

But she hadn’t expected the young miss to care about her injuries!

“I-I-I’m fine, I can just bandage myself!”

Qingwu shot Annie a look, her gaze exuding undeniable authority.

“Come out, I don’t want to say it twice.”

Annie quickly followed Qingwu to the guest room, and while undressing, she found her wounds had stuck to her clothes, causing her to gasp in pain.

While washing Annie’s wounds, Qingwu asked, “Now tell me, what did Pei Jue do to get injured?”

“At the border, we ran into a gang conflict. Someone wanted to go down together and planted multiple bombs in advance. We weren’t involved, just passing by.”

Activities at the border meeting with conflicts were nothing unusual, with gangs clashing almost daily.

But Deep Sea being the second-ranked organization on the Dark Web, wouldn’t make such a low-level mistake.

This could only mean that the gang conflict occurred in a place Pei Jue already intended to visit!

“Where was this encounter?”

Annie hesitated a bit, but facing Qingwu’s bright eyes, she was startled and had to confess with closed eyes, “… Near the abandoned Beidou Star laboratory.”

Beidou Star’s lab covered a vast area. It wasn’t that gangs hadn’t eyed this laboratory before.

Even if deserted, Beidou Star’s reputation remained untouched. What if something valuable was found inside?

If indeed they found something valuable, Beidou Star wouldn’t be Beidou Star anymore.

“What did Pei Jue go there for?”

“The young miss should know we took down Blue Whale. The boss suspects that Madam’s death back then might be linked to Beidou Star, so he wants to investigate.”

The death of Pei Jue’s mother had always been a lingering pain for him.

For so many years, he had never given up on uncovering the truth.

Qingwu put down the gauze and bandages, “Alright, go rest. Remember to take these anti-inflammatory medications.”

Annie came to her senses, realizing that Qingwu had asked her those things merely to distract her attention!

Oh my, how kind the young miss is!

“I’ll just rest in the guest room, you can call me if needed, Miss!”

“Go back, you’re not needed here. I’ll let Pei Jue know if he asks.”

It would be difficult to rest well at the Pei Mansion. Annie’s injuries were far more severe than Pei Jue’s and would require some time for recovery.

“Yes! I’ll follow Miss’s instructions!”

Qingwu stood up and looked at the starkly tranquil Pei Mansion, saying, “Has it always been so quiet here?”

Annie nodded, “Yes, I’ve been with Deep Sea for so many years, the boss’s house has always been like this. The master prefers staying at the hospital rather than returning, and there’s hardly anyone around the boss.”

“Since meeting the young miss, the boss comes home more often!”

This house could be taken out right away as a model display for interior decoration companies, lacking even the slightest bit of human warmth. The Shen Family was always lively, whereas here, it was just cold and quiet.

Annie couldn’t hold it in, “Many times, I’ve seen the boss spacing out in his room, only later realizing that the young miss lives just across.”

Qingwu remained silent for a moment, nodding at Annie.

“I get it, you go rest first. I’ll keep an eye on Pei Jue.”

“Alright, thank you for your trouble, Miss.”

After Annie left, Qingwu reopened the door to Pei Jue’s room and walked in.

She reached out to touch Pei Jue’s forehead, only for her hand to be caught by him.

In his stupor, the man seemed unaware, his mouth merely murmuring habitually.

“Qingwu, don’t go, don’t leave me…”
