In the room, the doctor carefully unwrapped the bandage on Wen Xiu’s body.

Her wounds had basically split open and she had lost a lot of blood. The moment the bandage was undone, the strong smell of blood suddenly permeated in the room.

Shi Man frowned as she watched the doctor treat her wound. Wen Xiu gritted her teeth in pain. When she looked up, she saw that Shi Man was still staring fixedly. She couldn’t help but complain while panting, “Are you a psychopath? How can you watch such a bloody scene?”

Shi Man sneered and replied slowly, “I’ve seen all kinds of bloody things.”

Wen Xiu thought that she was bragging, but at this moment, the doctor was applying medicine for her. Her wound hurt even more and she could not say a word.

When the doctor finally wrapped a new bandage around her, she was already so tired that she lay on the bed and could not move. It was a little difficult to even move her fingers.

Seeing that she was fine, Shi Man asked the waiter to prepare some food. She watched as the food was placed on the bedside table beside her pillow before leaving with Tang Zhe in relief.

Of course, Chu Yue had not left.

If she had left just now, no one knew what the people outside would say about her.

If this matter were to spread to the capital, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.

She had also thought of asking her teacher for help while Shi Man was not around, but Lu Jun had been leaning against the chair with his eyes closed. He looked like he did not want to care about anything. Even the arrogant Chu Yue did not dare to disturb Lu Jun again.

The media found a place to sit down and stole glances at Yi Zheng’s expression, afraid that he would chase them out.

However, it was obvious that President Yi and Miss Shi had the same thoughts. Since Shi Man did not deliberately instruct these media reporters to leave before she left, Yi Zheng naturally would not take matters into his own hands. Instead, he casually found a place to sit down like a member of the audience.

Only Chu Yue could feel Yi Zheng’s sharp gaze sweep past her from time to time.

A strange thought appeared in Chu Yue’s heart.

He was looking at her on behalf of Shi Man, afraid that she would run away.

Just as this thought appeared, a layer of cold sweat subconsciously appeared on her forehead.

When Shi Man finally came out, the media reporters swarmed over. They found seats and set up their cameras, waiting to enjoy the end of this scene.

The moment Chu Yue saw Shi Man, her heart skipped a beat. Right on the heels of that, she saw Shi Man walking straight toward her until she stopped in front of her.

She subconsciously stood up from her seat and looked at Shi Man uneasily. “What do you want?”

Shi Man stared at her expressionlessly and said coldly, “You wrote the invitation to Wen Xiu.”

Chu Yue was stunned for a moment. She opened her mouth to retort.

Shi Man interrupted her. “Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. That invitation is still there. Why don’t we find a professional to do a handwriting appraisal?”

Chu Yue fell silent, and her expression instantly turned a little ugly. “You can find a handwriting appraisal. Anyway, I didn’t do it. I didn’t even know Wen Xiu before today.”

She might as well die if she had to admit this in front of all the media!

Shi Man sneered and saw through her thoughts. She suddenly raised her hand and grabbed her wrist, pulling her towards her. “Listen carefully. I’m not going to settle scores with you because you wanted to stop me from entering the capital. It doesn’t matter if 1 go to the capital or not. What I want to settle scores with you is that you injured Wen Xiu for your own goal.”

“Are you crazy?” Chu Yue widened her eyes in disbelief. When their eyes met, she did not see any hesitation in Shi Man’s eyes. There was only determination that she could not understand. “Why?”

Why did she help a woman who had once been engaged to her fiance?

“Because she saved my brother.”

Shi Man let go of her wrist and pushed her away in disgust. “Why do you think Chu Yue was hospitalized? She hurt herself to save him, and the person who helped you investigate Wen Xiu was the one who hurt him.”

Chu Yue was suddenly pushed by her. Her body fell unsteadily onto the sofa. She stared straight at the ground and panted heavily. She shook her head repeatedly and said, “That’s impossible. If she knew that Wen Xiu was already injured, why didn’t she tell me and asked me to put on such a show?”

Shi Man raised her eyebrows slightly. She looked at Yi Zheng, who was smiling in the distance, from a distance and saw a hint of understanding in each other’s eyes.

It seemed that she had guessed correctly this time.

Chu Yue had just arrived. If she wanted to find out so much in such a short period of time and arrange it so quickly, there must be someone helping her behind the scenes. When she thought about which family she had been staying with recently, the answer was obvious.

Shi Man slowly retracted her gaze and looked at her again. “Because no matter what the outcome of this show is, it has nothing to do with her. But you’re different. If you win, I’ll have a bad reputation as you wish. If you lose, she’ll just lose a pawn..”
