Yuan Shu didn’t know how long she had slept for, but she felt a sharp pain in her hand. She subconsciously opened her eyes quickly and saw a nurse giving her an infusion.

“Miss, don’t move yet. This is anti-inflammatory medicine. Your fever is too high, so you have to get an injection.” The nurse helped her lie down again.

Only then did Yuan Shu ask, “Where am I? Who found me? Where’s the fisherman couple?”

Her voice was hoarse, but she still had many questions.

At this moment, a man in a white coat appeared. The nurse nodded at him and left.

“Miss Yuan, you need to rest well now.” The man was polite, but there was a cunning look in his eyes. “I’m Wan Bin, your doctor.”

“Where is this?” Yuan Shu continued to ask.

However, Wan Bin didn’t answer at all. He only said, “Someone will bring you three meals a day. You can move freely in this room, but you can’t leave. I hope you have a good time.”

After everyone left, Yuan Shu heard the sound of the door being locked. Only then did she quickly pull out the needle in her hand. When she ran to the door, she realized that the electronic door lock was used and she couldn’t open it.

Yuan Shu returned to bed dispiritedly. She needed to conserve her energy now. Before these people did something to her, she had to recover quickly.

When he received Wan Bin’s call, Lin Xi was a bit excited. “Have you found her? Is she dead?”

“You seem to want her to die?” Wan Bin was a little helpless. “If the higher-ups don’t allow her to die, she can’t die.”

“What?” Lin Xi almost roared out when she thought of that person’s methods. That vicious person actually wanted to protect Yuan Shu. She gnashed her teeth in hatred.

She took a few deep breaths before saying, “Can you put in a request and say that Yuan Shu can’t be kept? Shi Xiao’s attitude towards me is vague now. If Yuan Shu is around, I won’t be able to become Madam Shi. What about our plan?”

“That’s your business. If you can’t take down Shi Xiao, you’re the one who’s incompetent.” Wan Bin deliberately emphasized the word ‘incompetent’. They all knew the consequences of incompetence.

Lin Xi hurriedly explained, “How could I be incompetent? It’s just that you can’t underestimate Yuan Shu.”

“Of course I know that I can’t underestimate her. Don’t worry, she’s already locked up, so she won’t affect you.” Only then did Wan Bin say the person’s notice. “That person asked you to think of a way to inform Shi Xiao that Yuan Shu has been kidnapped. The kidnappers want the Shi Corporation’s mine in Country M.”

“When Shi Xiao is by your side, tell me. The kidnapper will contact Shi Xiao. You can do whatever you want after that. He has his eyes on the mine in Shi Xiao’s hands.”

Lin Xi hung up the phone, but she already made up her mind that she definitely wouldn’t tell Shi Xiao about Yuan Shu.

Since that person wanted the Shi Corporation’s mine, she only needed to keep control of the Shi Corporation in her hands, so that she could break free from that person’s control.

Just as she hung up and walked out of the bathroom, she saw Zhao Cheng return.

“Brother Zhao!” Lin Xi ran over. “You just came to work?”

“Oh, no, I came back to get some documents for President Shi.” Zhao Cheng knew that there were some things he couldn’t tell Lin Xi, so he only gave a vague answer.

However, Lin Xi already understood. Shi Xiao wasn’t in the company, and he needed Zhao Cheng to come back and take the documents to work. This meant that he was tied down by something.

Other than Yuan Shu’s matter, what else could make Shi Xiao not come to the company?

“I-1 still have something urgent to attend to, so I’ll leave first.” Zhao Cheng quickly picked up the document and left the company.

Lin Xi found an excuse to leave and secretly followed behind Zhao Cheng, but she didn’t expect to arrive at the hospital.

She was a little anxious. If they had already found Yuan Shu, wouldn’t her plan be disrupted?

Fortunately, when she arrived at the hospital, she didn’t see Yuan Shu. Instead, she secretly saw Wang Ping in the ward.

Wang Ping had already reached an agreement with Shi Xiao. No one was guarding him, and he didn’t leave the ward.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to the corridor, Lin Xi walked in.

Hearing the door being pushed open again, Wang Ping said impatiently, “Didn’t I say that as long as my brother is fine and you give me the money, Yuan Shu will come back?!”

Lin Xi’s eyebrows rose and she understood that this person was Wang Ping.

“I’m President Shi’s fiancee,” she said calmly.

However, her words shocked Wang Ping. He didn’t expect Shi Xiao, who cared so much about Yuan Shu, to have another fiancee.

Lin Xi said, “You also know that he treats Yuan Shu… Sigh, I am just an ordinary woman, so I want to ask you for a favor.”

Her voice was gentle and even a little plaintive. “I don’t want Yuan Shu to disturb the two of us anymore. As long as you help, I won’t mistreat you..”
