The rich man on the run: The gangster is so hard to get rid of

"This year's first wave of cold air is about to arrive on Christmas Eve, and people may see the first snow of the year on Christmas Eve..."

On the TV, the female host spoke passionately about the recent weather conditions.

Lisa was helping Ling Tang pack her luggage. Since she was suddenly hospitalized, she didn't have much luggage.

Lingtang had already changed out of his hospital gown and was only wearing a pair of black jeans and a wool sweater. Lisa took out a wool coat and scarf from the suitcase.

"The weather has gotten colder recently. Mr. Xiao Ling, this is the coat my wife sent from home yesterday. You can put it on before you leave the hospital."

Ling Tang didn't say anything, he just took the coat mechanically, his expression numb.

After closing the suitcase, Lisa looked around a few more times, flipping through the quilts and pillows on the hospital bed to make sure nothing was left behind.

She pulled her suitcase and walked up to Lingtang who was stunned. She stretched out her five fingers and waved them in front of her.

"Mr. Xiao Ling, it's okay. The driver is already waiting downstairs."

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted, and Ling Tang came back to his senses, his expression still blank, "Yeah, okay."

The ward where Lingtang was located was not far from the elevator. When she left the ward, her eyes wandered in the corridor for a while, but she did not see the expected scene.

There must be bodyguards guarding the door of Shen Peizhi's ward, but now, the entire corridor is empty.

Arriving at the waiting hall, Lisa pressed the button and the elevator was going up.

"Mr. Xiao Ling, Mr. Ling specifically told me that you should not go to the company recently. During special times, it is safer for you to stay at home."

Lingtang's eyes were on the moving floor display. She listened to Lisa's words, but she didn't fully understand them.

"Ding dong!"

The elevator door opened, and Lisa walked in with her luggage. She looked at Ling Tang, who was still standing outside, and urged, "Mr. Xiao Ling, get in the elevator."

Ling Tang took a deep breath and asked aloud, "Lisa, which ward is Mr. Shen in?"

From just now, Lisa knew what she was thinking, so she had already prepared the answer.

"Eleventh floor, 1103."

Lingtang knew that sooner or later she would have to face Shen Peizhi, "You go downstairs and wait for me first. I have something to do."

The ward where Lingtang was located was on the tenth floor. Since there was only one floor, she deliberately did not take the elevator but took the stairs.

1103 was easy to find. Ling Tang recognized it almost immediately because there were only four bodyguards in black standing at the door of that room.

The entire floor was extremely quiet, and the click of her high heels echoed in the long corridor.

Seeing her coming, the four bodyguards were a little surprised, but they quickly opened the door, eliminating the need to confirm her identity.

The boss's woman is really blind if she can't recognize her.

As evening approached, she saw colorful red clouds outside the window as soon as she entered the door. This was a good sign, at least it would be a sunny day tomorrow.

The person on the hospital bed was still sleeping. Because his back was injured, he could only sleep on his stomach.

Because she was afraid of disturbing him, Ling Tang took off her high heels, stepped on the ground with her bare feet, and slowly walked towards him.

He was sleeping soundly, but his expression was painful and even a little uneasy. His brows were frowned tightly, and there was some cold sweat on his forehead.

Ling Tang raised his hand and slowly opened the quilt on his body. After seeing the scene under the quilt, his eyes were filled with shock and pain.

His upper body was naked, from his back to his chest, wrapped in a thick ring of gauze that covered almost his entire back.

On the gauze, sporadic blood seeped out, and a large amount of blood seeped out in the middle.

Something inside her heart was severely touched, her breathing quickened instantly, and crystal tears welled up in her eyes.

She gently covered him with the quilt, sat down on the stool next to his bed, took out two tissues on the bedside table, and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Halfway through wiping, the sleeping man suddenly raised his hand and held her slender wrist.

The tissue slipped from her hand, and she raised her eyes to meet his black eyes.

This look at each other made her tears fall down unsatisfactorily.

Seeing her crying, Shen Peizhi panicked, thinking that he had hurt her, and quickly let go of her hand, "I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do it."

Ling Tang didn't say anything, but his tears fell even harder.

Shen Peizhi wanted to get up, but as soon as he made a move, he felt a burning pain in his back. He gritted his teeth, raised his elbows, and struggled to get up.

Lingtang panicked now and quickly held him down, sobbing, "Don't move."

The man stopped, still lying on the bed, and comforted softly, "Then don't cry."

Seeing him trying to comfort her even though he was in pain, Lingtang felt even more uncomfortable. In order not to worry him, she wiped away her tears and stopped crying.

"It hurts."

"It doesn't hurt!" Shen Peizhi breathed a sigh of relief. He thought she wouldn't come.

Knowing that she was going to be discharged from the hospital this afternoon, he had been anxiously waiting for her in the ward, looking forward to her.

Seeing time slipping away little by little, the hope in his heart was like a flame, growing from big to small, and then gradually extinguished.

Looking at the unhealed scars on Ling Tang's forehead and face, Shen Peizhi narrowed his eyes slightly, "I'm sorry, I hurt you again!"

He raised his hand with difficulty, wanting to touch her cheek, but she was too far away from him and his hand couldn't reach it.

Ling Tang made no move, looking at him with some kind of painful struggle hidden in his eyes, "Is it worth saving me?"

Shen Peizhi didn't expect that she would ask this. He was about to say something when he heard what she said next.

"If you die, everything you worked so hard for will disappear."

"Back then you tried your best to hurt me and got everything you wanted, and now you are desperate to save me."

"Pei Zhi, what have you wanted for all these years?"

It turned out that she was still brooding about what happened back then.

Shen Peizhi felt a pain in his heart. He knew that if he didn't untie the knot in her heart, he would never be able to regain her heart in his lifetime.

"Five years ago, I wanted to be the head of the Shen family; five years from now, I want you."

"None of this is a contradiction, is it?"

He wants the best of both worlds, but everything in this world is inherently unsatisfactory, so there is no such thing as the best of both worlds.

Yes, it's just a compromise.

The wound on his back was still aching, but despite this, he still noticed Ling Tang's slightly shaken gaze.

"Xiaotang, only I can protect you. Come back to me and I will do my best to make it up to you."

"If possible, I would trade everything in the Shen family for you."

His eyes were firm and his tone was undeniable.

At this moment, Lingtang knew that she could not escape. She would never be able to escape from this man's grasp in this life.

Tears fell from her eyes again. Shen Peizhi raised his eyes and looked at her tears, and his heart ached.

He raised his hand again, trying to touch her face, but a heartbreaking pain came from his back. This time the pain was so strong that he couldn't help it and groaned.

Lingtang, who was aware of his intention, did not remain silent this time. She leaned forward, got close to Shen Peizhi, took the hand he just extended, and put it against her face.
