“Yes.” Yi Zheng gently held her hand and said, “Let’s not talk about me. What happened today? Did Tang Zhe find the person who sent me the photo?”

Shi Man shook her head gently and sighed. “Not yet. Yi Zheng, who do you think did this?”

She recounted the collision with Yi Che from beginning to end. The two of them first eliminated Yi Ming.

After Shi Man’s test just now, Yi Ming had not been in a good state from the beginning to the end. This could only mean that he really did not know anything.

Moreover, they did not think that Yi Ming would easily plot Yi Che’s life for benefit.

It was difficult to guess who the mastermind was.

From the current situation, the greatest beneficiaries of Yi Zheng’s accident were none other than Yi Ming and Yi Che.

However, both of them were actually in the hospital now. Their situation was not much better than Yi Zheng’s.

Yi Zheng endured his headache and frowned as he carefully sorted out his thoughts. He said in a low voice, “How’s the situation on Yi Che’s side? Is he still unconscious?”

Shi Man sighed softly and said, “I’ve already instructed the nurses in the hospital to go in for ward rounds every once in a while. Once he wakes up, she will contact me, but I haven’t received a call from her yet.”

Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows and said expressionlessly, “Why did he fall unconscious on the way? Do you know the reason? Was he poisoned? Or did he have an emergency?”

This was what puzzled Shi Man.

When the doctor was not paying attention, she secretly took Yi Che’s pulse. Not only did he show no signs of being poisoned, but his physical fitness was also very good. He should not have fallen into such a deep coma.

Yi Zheng suddenly couldn’t help but laugh when he saw her thinking hard. The corners of his mouth curled up into a gentle smile. “As long as 1 see that you’re safe, I’m relieved. We can slowly investigate the rest.”

Shi Man frowned and thought of something. She suddenly grabbed Yi Zheng’s hand and said, “I have a guess, but I don’t know if it’s right. 1 need you to cooperate with me.”

“Tell me.” Yi Zheng stopped teasing and stared at her seriously.

Shi Man pursed her lips and said hesitantly, “I want you to continue to be unconscious to lure the snake out of its hole.”

The next night was the time the doctor said that Yi Zheng would wake up at the latest.

However, Lu Xiang looked at her son, whose lips were a little dry and cracked, but she did not wait for him to open his eyes.

She panicked for no reason and hurriedly held the doctor’s hand. She asked anxiously, “Doctor, why isn’t my son awake yet? Didn’t you say that he can wake up tonight?”

The doctor lifted Yi Zheng’s eyelids to take a closer look and checked his other vital signs. He clicked his tongue in surprise and said with a puzzled expression, “It’s time for him to wake up, but we can’t rule out the possibility that he’s in a more serious coma because of the heavy blow to his brain. How about this? We’ll immediately arrange for a radiographic film to see if there are any lesions in his skull.”

“Lesions?” Lu Xiang stood up from the chair with a whoosh, trembling all over.

Yi Long quickly stabilized her wife and hugged her comfortingly. “Don’t worry. The doctor is just suspicious now. Let’s just wait for the results. Xiao Zheng will be fine.”

“If something really happens to Xiao Zheng, I won’t live anymore!” Lu Xiang lay on Yi Long’s shoulder and cried until she was out of breath.

The Shi family, who had rushed over after hearing the news, also looked at the man on the bed with worry. In the end, their gazes landed on the expressionless Shi Man.

Shi Mu patted his sister’s head and comforted her with concern. “Don’t be afraid. You still have your brothers.”

Shi Man shook her head at him. Other than the worry she deliberately revealed, there was also a shrewd scheming look in her eyes.

It was soon late at night. The test results showed that there was indeed a large area of blood clot in Yi Zheng’s skull. It was basically impossible to treat it with medicine. The only feasible way now was to operate.

However, the risks accompanying intracranial surgery were immeasurable. The doctor could only explain the pros and cons and let the family make the decision themselves.

Lu Xiang lay by the bed in grief. Her trembling hands could not sign her complete name.

The ward was instantly covered in a haze. Shi Man stood at the side in silence with her fists clenched.

Time passed bit by bit on the clock. Just as Shi Man was about to take the initiative to persuade Lu Xiang, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the ward behind her.

Her head snapped back, her eyes fixed on the door, her face frosted over. “Who is it?”

“It’s me. I’m here to see my brother.”

Outside the door, Yi Che’s haggard and hoarse voice suddenly sounded.

Shi Man was shocked and hurriedly opened the door. She saw a man sitting in a wheelchair outside with bandages wrapped around his legs. His nails dug into his palms.

“Sister-in-law, I’m here to see my brother.”

Yi Che looked over with red eyes. On closer look, she could see the tears in his eyes.

Shi Man made way for him without a word and let Liu Ran push his wheelchair into the crowded ward.

The atmosphere in the room was so heavy that it was impossible to breathe normally. Yi Che’s gaze slowly swept past everyone and finally landed on Yi Zheng..
