A Dead End

Jiang Xiuying stared at the name tag on the door for a while and placed her hand on the door knob. She was in deep thought that she didn't even realise Michael and Marcus were not guarding the room. She tried to open the door but couldn't bring herself to do it.

Jiang Xiuying exhaled loudly and tried to open the door again but she met with a dead end.

' Even my body is subconsciously refusing to see Yutong ' Jiang Xiuying thought sadly as she sat on the bench outside the ward.

" You don't have to force yourself. It's okay that you already made an attempt to see her " Lu Beichen strolled towards her and sat beside her.

" I guess" Jiang Xiuying replied tiredly combing her fingers through her hair.

" You should go home. Grandfather requested for your presence. "

" Chairman Lu ? Did he say the reason? "

" Nope. I guess you should leave now, he has a flight to catch in two hours " Lu Beichen looked at his wristwatch .

" Alright. " She nodded at him as made her way out of the hospital.

Lu Beichen pursed his lips and entered inside the hospital ward. He has spent quite a lot of time in the hospital with Yutong. Since the VIP ward looked like a suite, he had all the necessity needed to cater for his daily life ranging from a bedroom to kitchen to bathroom and even down to a study.

" My dear daughter, you should get well soon. The doctor said you are already recovering. If you want to grow taller than Yuxuan, you should get up quickly huh! " Lu Beichen knew Yutong was always jealous that Yuxuan was taller than her. She felt that since she was older than him with ten minutes, she should not be shorter than Yuxuan.

Lu Beichen stared at all of the machine connected to her body. Once upon a time, she was a very bright girl that always loved to daydream about bring a princess. But now, she couldn't even read her favorite Cinderella story as she had been trapped in the bed for two years.

* Ring Ring...*

Lu Beichen quietly left the room to make his phone call in order not to disturb Yutong.

" What's up? Did you find anything yet?"He asked as soon as he received the call. There was a long pause on the other side of the phone.

" We have successfully restored the deleted footage but when we tried to watch it, unexpectedly, there was a virus in the video making us unable to see anything. The virus would take about three months to be removed from the video before it can be watched again. " The person said in a breath.

Lu Beichen massaged his forehead on hearing the news. Jut when things were beginning to be in place something happened. First the footage was deleted and they were just able to restore it now, a virus had unexpectedly entered the video.

" Si Feng, you are the only one I can rely on now. Although I have no problem with your team but I think there is a mole within you guys. Someone doesn't want us to know the truth about what happened that night. Can you try to restore the video on your own without the knowledge of anyone else? I know it would take more time than required but you need to get this done quickly. The faster we watch the video, the sooner we know who poisoned Yutong so that we can find out the kind of poison that was used on her "

Si Feng couldn't refuse to help the Lu family and Jiang Xiuying after all he owed them a lot that even giving up his next life won't be enough to repay them. It was all due to Jiang Xiuying recommendation that he got to work at the prestigious Lu industries.

" I understand. I will also monitor the people on my team for any suspicious movement " He recalled how he met Jiang Xiuying who changed his life for better.

= Flashback begins=

Si Feng was wearing a faded jean trousers and a tattered shirt walking along the street with a baseball cap on his head making his face half visible. He bumped into another man walking on the street and they both fell down.

" You bastard. Can't you watch where you are going?" The man spat out as he stood up eyeing Si Feng

" I'm sorry. " Si Feng apologized trying his best to hide his face. He walked away from the man with a smile on his face. He felt lucky to have seen the man counting some cash at the store opposite the road.

The man felt something was amiss after he walked for a while. He halted and searched his pockets but noticed his wallet had gone missing. He folded his arm trying to recall where it could have gone missing but to no avail.

Suddenly, something occurred to him "What the.... " The man exclaimed remembering he was pushed to the ground by a guy wearing a baseball cap. He began running in the direction Si Feng passed after bumping on him. Luckily for the white man, Si Feng hasn't gone to far.

" You little thief, stop right there!! " The white man shouted as he got closer to Si Feng. Si Feng in turn wasn't expecting the man to suddenly catch up with him. He looked surprised but took to his heels nevertheless. The white man kept on pursuing him but he didn't relent.

As if God was helping him, he saw a car packed on a street by the side of the road and hopped in without thinking.

" Drive now " Si Feng ordered as he got into the back seat of the car. Jiang Xiuying looked at the rear mirror and saw a white man approaching her car.

" Geez..." She ran her hands through her hair. " Hold on tight " Sh ordered him and stepped on the pedal zooming off with a very high speed kicking dust into the face of the white man.

" Hey, it's alright. You can drop me off " Si Feng said after they successfully evaded the white man pursuit. He shifted uncomfortably in the car. The speed at which she was driving made him feel like puking but he held it in. After several attempt of walking to her, he gave up when he noticed she was using earphones.
