She rushed forward quickly, grabbed the blanket and shot Zou Yu a wary look.
"You're a bodyguard. Why aren't you standing guard at the door? Why are you always hovering around Xixi?"
"You weren't there when it was time to protect my son, but now you're being overly attentive."
Liu Ning tossed the blanket onto the nearby sofa. Her tone was full of disdain for Zou Yu.
Qi Ruixi had been holding the blanket. Caught off guard by the tug, she almost fell.
It was Zou Yu who steadied her by holding her shoulders.
"What are you doing? Mom, if you insist on picking fights with everyone here, you might as well go back early."
Qi Ruixi's patience with her had reached its limit.
How could there be such a person who only attacked those around her?
Seeing that Qi Ruixi was really angry and looking at the frail Qi Shifeng, Liu Ning immediately backed down.
Actually, it wasn't that she didn't love her children, but her love was limited.
Moreover, due to the lack of a normal parent - child relationship when they were young, they were not close when they grew up. All her overtures were met with coldness.
This made her extremely annoyed and even more difficult to deal with.
Now, under Qi Ruixi's outburst, she finally managed to control her temper. Without saying anything more, she turned and threw herself beside Qi Shifeng, bursting into tears.
Seeing this, Qi Ruixi and Zou Yu exchanged a look.
Fearing that the conflict would escalate, Zou Yu silently retreated to a corner.
Maybe it was because Liu Ning was making too much noise.
Qi Shifeng's fingers twitched, and soon he opened his eyes.
"Shifeng, you're finally awake. Do you know how worried I've been? Wuwu, it's all because you didn't trust me and didn't listen to me."
"If you had stopped contacting that bitch earlier, you wouldn't have ended up like this. She's trying to take your life and your money!"
A look of surprise flashed across Liu Ning's eyes, but all that came out of her mouth were words that no one wanted to hear.
Qi Shifeng didn't even look at her. He just turned his neck with difficulty and looked at Zou Yu in the distance.
"Zou Yu, come here. Everyone else, get out."
His voice was hoarse and unpleasant. Every word was spoken with great difficulty.
Liu Ning was stunned for a moment and then immediately flew into a rage. Just as she was about to flare up again, Qi Ruixi reacted and dragged her away.
"Brother is not feeling well now. Don't make him angry. Let's come in later. You should also calm down."
Liu Ning was still reluctant to give up. She kept muttering on the way out.
Qi Shifeng seemed not to notice what was going on here at all. He just looked at Zou Yu beside the bed.
"Any news?"
He had sensed something was wrong as soon as he arrived at the place.
It was the place where Cai Lan was killed, and there was even a faint smell of blood in the air.
But he didn't hesitate.
Before going, he was already prepared to exchange his life for the other's.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he went in, he was hit on the back of the head with a stick before he even saw anyone and passed out immediately.
When he woke up, he was already in the hospital.
"There's no new news about Youyou."
Zou Yu was a professional bodyguard, not a wordsmith.
So he used the shortest words to tell Qi Shifeng that Xu Tingyu had also disappeared.
But he didn't mention Liu Ning's speculations.
Because they were all just assumptions. What the truth was needed Qi Shifeng to judge for himself.
Qi Shifeng didn't seem surprised by Xu Tingyu's disappearance. He was just extremely worried.
"This person wants to harm my whole family. Bring me my phone."
The effect of the anesthetic was gradually wearing off, and his whole body ached terribly.
But no matter how much his body hurt, it was nothing compared to the pain in his heart.
He really was useless. He couldn't protect his son or his wife.
Zou Yu went to get the phone. Qi Shifeng frowned as he unlocked it and clicked a few times.
Within a few seconds, Zou Yu noticed that his expression changed.
A few minutes later, Qi Shifeng suddenly asked, "You just said that Tingyu and my mother - in - law are both missing?"
"Yes. So we've already started investigating Ms. Zhang's whereabouts, but so far, we haven't found any clues."
Zou Yu thought he hadn't heard clearly just now, so he also told Qi Shifeng the latest situation.
"Okay, I see. Now, tell Jiang Li to contact the media and expose these news."
Qi Shifeng paused slightly after each word he said. It was very laborious.
Zou Yu was very surprised and confirmed again, "But these things haven't been concluded yet. If we release them now, it may have a great impact on Miss Xu."
Qi Shifeng's expression was very cold. "Just do as I say."
He was very tired and didn't want to explain.
Although Zou Yu didn't understand, he had always admired Qi Shifeng and knew that he must have his reasons for doing so.
So he immediately went to find Jiang Li.
By the time Qi Ruixi saw the hot search "The Battle for the Custody of the Son between the President of Qi Group and His Wife, the Husband's Life and Death Uncertain", Qi Shifeng was getting out of bed.
Seeing that Qi Shifeng had changed out of his hospital gown into loose casual clothes, Qi Ruixi was stunned for a moment, but still asked first, "What's going on with the news? Second brother, quickly tell someone to remove the hot search."
She told Jiang Li to find the company's public relations department to deal with the news quickly.
But Jiang Li looked embarrassed and said that it was Mr. Qi's intention.
Shocked, Qi Ruixi naturally came to Qi Shifeng to verify it immediately.
However, Qi Shifeng's expression was very cold. "Why should I remove it? Since she has gone to such great lengths to take my life and the custody of Youyou, cough cough..."
"I don't need to be polite to her anymore. Now that we can't get in touch with her, then use this way to let her know that I accept the challenge."
He coughed while speaking.
Because his lips were too dry and chapped, there were bloodstains oozing out, making his pale face look even paler.
The words Qi Ruixi wanted to question were suddenly swallowed back.
She didn't know why things had turned out like this.
Did her brother also believe that all this was done by her sister?
But she just couldn't believe it.
But Qi Shifeng didn't give her a chance to ask more questions.
Jiang Li had already pushed the wheelchair in and helped Qi Shifeng sit on it.
"Where are you going now? You're in this condition. How can you get out of bed?"
Seeing that Jiang Li was about to push him out, Qi Ruixi quickly blocked in front of him.
"Since the outside world says that my life and death are uncertain, I naturally can't stay in the hospital."
After all, the hospital was a public place with a lot of people and was very dangerous.
This reason was irrefutable.
Moreover, Qi Ruixi also knew that it was really safer to go back to their own place, where he could rest better and there was no need to worry about medical care.
So she silently stepped aside. "Then I'll go with you."
"No. You go back and rest first. If I need you, I'll contact you."
Qi Shifeng refused again.
Qi Ruixi always felt that Qi Shifeng was a bit different from before after he woke up.
It seemed that he was on high alert all the time, and even his look at her was a bit scrutinizing.
But she didn't dare to ask more questions. She could only watch helplessly as he disappeared at the end of the corridor under the cover of Jiang Li and the others.
