Shen Hanyu did not answer Xie Shi’an’s question. Instead, he asked Sang Qianqian, “If Cui Yi is really alive, how many days would it take for him to be discharged?”

Sang Qianqian thought for a moment. “He would need at least three to four days to recuperate.”

If Cui Yi was still alive, he would be extremely weak after waking up. Three to four days of recuperation was the shortest time it would take for him.

“Qianqian will need three days to determine whether he’s dead or alive.”

Shen Hanyu glanced at Xie Shi’an. “Including this rest period, it will take at least a week. If he is still alive, I will ask Jian Zheng to send Cui Ke back in a week. However,”

He said slowly, “If the police find out about Cui Yi faking his death, Qianqian must stay out of it.”

Xie Shi’an said without hesitation, “Of course. I will make all the necessary arrangements in advance. Moreover, if Cui Yi ends up being alive, his name won’t be Cui Yi anymore. Even if someone were to find out the truth one day, I can guarantee with my life that I won’t drag Qianqian into this.”

Shen Hanyu smiled and did not object to the man’s promise. “Then it’s settled. So, a week?”

Xie Shi’an hesitated for a few seconds. “I need you to ensure Cui Ke’s safety. For this whole week, he shouldn’t be harmed in any way.”

“Of course.” Shen Hanyu agreed readily. If Cui Yi didn’t wake up, then so be it.

If he was alive, he wouldn’t have to do anything to Cui Ke to make him speak up. With just having Cui Ke around, it would be more than enough.

Xie Shi’an didn’t say anything else. He walked to the bedside and looked at Cui Yi’s face deeply.

The other party’s pale and extremely thin face was still no different from last night. At the moment, there was light coming in from the ward’s windows. It shone over his face and gave him a faint aura of death, which made him look a little terrifying.

However, when Sang Qianqian said that he might still be alive, Xie Shi’an did not doubt her words.

“Qianqian, 1’11 be leaving him to you.”

Xie Shi’an’s tone when he spoke to Sang Qianqian was extremely gentle. It was a world of difference compared to how he spoke to Shen Hanyu. After he finished speaking, he left without even looking at Shen Hanyu.

Despite that, Shen Hanyu didn’t mind his actions. He called Jian Zheng over and lowered his voice. “How is the security outside the ward?”

“Including me, there are seven people on this floor.”

There were two bodyguards on both sides of the corridor. There were also two people hiding in the ward. Jian Zheng was guarding the ward door personally.

Shen Hanyu pondered for a few seconds. “Upstairs and downstairs, as well as the entrance to the hospital’s inpatient department. It’s best to arrange a few more of our people there.”

Jian Zheng hurriedly went to do as he ordered.

“The hospital’s surveillance cameras monitor every few steps, even in the ward.”

Sang Qianqian felt that Shen Hanyu was being overly cautious. She smiled as she continued, “Besides, this ward is closed off. No one should be allowed to enter.”

Considering the fact that Cui Yi was a special patient, it was inconvenient for other medical staff to come inside. Moreover, Director Xue had even specially asked Yin Shuhui and Xu Meixi to take care of Cui Yi together with Sang Qianqian. It was much more rea.s.suring to do things this way, and there would be no risk of any news being leaked out.

“It’s better to be cautious.”

“Jian Zheng’s men will only be hiding in the dark,” Shen Hanyu said with a smile. “You won’t be able to see them. Therefore, they won’t affect any work in the hospital.”

“I’m not worried about that.”

Sang Qianqian pondered for a moment. “Are you worried that someone might come and save Cui Yi?”

She had intercepted them from taking Cui Yi halfway and brought him to the hospital she worked in. The person who wanted to save the man wouldn’t let this incident go so easily.

“It’s impossible to take people away from here.”

Shen Hanyu was confident about this. “On the other hand, I’m more worried that the other party will abandon Cui Yi after knowing that he’s staying here.”

“Wouldn’t that be better?”

Sang Qianqian didn’t quite understand what Shen Hanyu meant. “It would be much more convenient for us if they don’t want Cui Yi anymore.”

Shen Hanyu was about to explain, but he suddenly heard footsteps outside. He kept quiet.

“President Shen.”

Yin Shuhui came in and greeted Shen Hanyu when she saw him.

Shen Hanyu nodded slightly in response.

“Leave this to me.”

Yin Shuhui winked at Sang Qianqian. “It’s lunch break. You can go and take President Shen out for a meal.”

“How can I have the time?” Sang Qianqian smiled. “Let him eat lunch by himself. There will be a guest coming at 1:30 in the afternoon, so I have to go over and welcome them immediately.”

Since they had already been married for quite a long while, Shen Hanyu didn’t mind if they couldn’t have a meal together.

“Why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t there still half an hour left?”

Yin Shuhui looked at her watch. “Even if you don’t bring President Shen to eat, you should at least go and grab something from the cafeteria. Otherwise, how can your body hold on?”

Sang Qianqian waved her hand. “It’s fine. I’ve already eaten bread earlier. Anyway, I’ll go to the venue early to see if there’s anything I missed out on in the preparations.”

Miao Leshan’s Famous Old Chinese Medicine Inheritance Workshop was now considered the hospital’s main signboard. It was inevitable that they would receive guests from all over the world and deal with all kinds of cooperation and business consultations. They could not miss out on meetings, introductions, visits, and so on. If the guests’ standards were high enough, they would also have to hold a welcome reception.

In the past two weeks, there had been guests visiting almost every day. Director Xue was annoyed with the meetings, so he decided to take the opportunity and go on a business trip to avoid them, leaving all the reception work to his future successor, Sang Qianqian.

Fortunately, there weren’t as many patients as when the workshop had just opened. Yin Shuhui and Xu Meixi were enough to deal with them, and Sang Qianqian could also take some time to deal with them.

However, for her, dealing with the tedious meetings and reception work wasn’t as easy as making a house call.

She felt a headache when she thought of the meeting she had in the afternoon. “There’s still a reception banquet tonight. I’ll probably be done around 9 pm.”

Yin Shuhui pointed her chin at Cui Yi who was lying on the bed. “Meixi and 1 will take good care of him. If he wakes up early, I’ll call you immediately.” Although Professor Fuller’s notes said that the patient would only regain consciousness after 72 hours, this was only a general inference. There were cases of patients waking up earlier than stated in the medical records.

Therefore, Sang Qianqian, Yin Shuhui, and Xu Meixi arranged a shift. Last night, it was Sang Qianqian who guarded Cui Yi for the entire night. Tonight, it was Yin Shuhui and Xu Meixi’s turn to be on duty. Tomorrow night, it would be Sang Qianqian’s turn again.

Sang Qianqian accompanied Shen Hanyu downstairs and only had time to take a closer look at him now.

The man had been busy searching for clues overseas and hadn’t gotten much rest. Furthermore, he also sat in an airplane all night yesterday and didn’t sleep at all. Due to this, he looked a little haggard at the moment.

Sang Qianqian’s heart ached. “Go home later and have a good sleep after dinner.”

Shen Hanyu didn’t tell her that he had to rush to the office and wouldn’t be able to make it home in time.

The two of them were walking out of the inpatient department when Shen Hanyu stopped and stared at her. “You, can you really not have a meal with me?”

When she met his dark and unfathomable eyes, Sang Qianqian was a little hesitant.

She was about to say “No” until she saw Shen Hanyu clutching his stomach. He lowered his eyes and said, I rushed back yesterday and didn’t even have dinner. I’m so hungry now.”

Perhaps it was because he had been starving for too long, but his voice sounded particularly weak. In Sang Qianqian’s eyes, he was extremely pitiful.

Her heart softened upon seeing his current state. She was about to reject him just now, but now, she changed her mind and blurted out, “Fine, let me take you to the cafeteria..”
