Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 258 Surprise

Doctor Li took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down, but countless questions were still surging in his mind.

Mr. Xie’s condition is actually not that bad, and it can even be said that he has recovered quite well.

He had clearly woken up, so why did he lie to Mrs. Xie and say that the situation was serious?

He frowned, and when Xie Jincheng's cold face flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but shudder.

The first thing he did after waking up was to ask Dr. Li to cooperate with him in this drama.

Dr. Li thought it was ridiculous at the time, but he did not dare to disobey.

After all, Xie Jincheng's identity was there. How could he, a mere doctor, dare to ask more questions?

However, he remembered that the media said that they had a very good relationship. Xie Jincheng doted on Shen Qianhe, and the two were a model couple that everyone in the wealthy circle envied.

But why did Xie Jincheng hide it from her?

Could it be that they are just a couple in name only?

The more Dr. Li thought about it, the more headache he felt.

He shook his head, trying to get rid of these messy thoughts from his mind.

Forget it. How could a small person like him possibly get to know these secrets of the wealthy families?

It’s better to just be obedient and do your job well.

After all, he knew Xie Jincheng's methods. If he said anything more, he might even lose his job.

He made a "tsk" sound and put his ear against the door to listen to the noise outside.

Suddenly, he heard someone outside the door shouting for help.

"Someone come quickly! Someone has fainted here!"

Doctor Li's heart skipped a beat.

The cold sweat that I had just wiped off appeared again.

......

Inside the intensive care unit, the lighting was soft yet a little cold. The light shone on Xie Jincheng's face, outlining his angular features.

He was half leaning on the hospital bed, his skin looked almost pale under the light, and the white hospital gown made his figure look even more slender and upright. Even though he was sick, he did not look decadent at all.

He held an internal company document in his hand. His slender fingers had distinct joints and his fingertips gently flipped the paper, making a slight rustling sound.

Zhou Li stood aside with his hands hanging, his eyes slightly lowered, his expression respectful and cautious, even his breathing was deliberately lightened, quietly waiting for instructions.

I don’t know how much time has passed, the air in the ward seemed to be frozen, so oppressive that it made people feel breathless.

He felt his back tighten, and even had difficulty breathing.

"Keep a close eye on the board's movements and report to me immediately if anything happens."

"Okay, Mr. Xie." Zhou Li nodded in response.

His fingers unconsciously stroked the side seams of his suit pants, his fingertips felt slightly cold, and a thin layer of sweat seeped out of his palms.

Xie Jincheng's eyes were still fixed on the document. His tone was calm, but it carried a hint of sharpness that could not be ignored: "Also, there is a problem with the progress of the resort project. You should go to Atlanta tomorrow after the operation is over. Remember, don't alert the enemy."

"Okay, Mr. Xie." Zhou Li nodded again with a serious expression.

"If you have nothing else to report, you can go back first."

Zhou Li's Adam's apple rolled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.

His gaze lingered on Xie Jincheng's face for a moment, then he lowered his head and said respectfully and cautiously, "Okay, Mr. Xie."

He put the documents away, swiftly placed them in his briefcase, and prepared to leave.

But when he reached the door and his hand was on the doorknob, he couldn't help but stop and turned around hesitantly.

His brows furrowed slightly, considering how to start his speech.

Xie Jincheng noticed his hesitation, raised his eyelids, and glanced at him like a knife: "What else?"

Zhou Li was startled by his gaze and quickly lowered his head, saying with a hint of caution: "Oh, it's about Madam... I have asked Doctor Li to do it according to your instructions."

Xie Jincheng's reaction was very calm. He just said "hmm" softly, and there was no emotion in his voice.

The man opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he just nodded silently, turned and left the ward.

After closing the ward door, Zhou Li paused slightly.

He always felt that there was something terribly familiar about Xie Jincheng now.

It was a terrifying feeling of oppression that was so strong it was suffocating.

He vaguely felt that Xie Jincheng seemed to have turned into the workaholic who only thought about work!

No, that's not right. In his impression, Xie Jincheng has always been this kind of person.

He has a perverse and sinister temperament, is decisive in his words and is ruthless in killing. He is the youngest person in power of the Xie Group and is well-known in Beijing as the "living devil"!

Especially those murderous eyes, which can see through people's hearts at a glance and leave people nowhere to hide.

As far as he could remember, he hadn't seen Xie Jincheng with such a look in his eyes for a long time.

The murderous intent in those eyes seemed to be quietly smoothed out by something and became much softer.

And now, the reason why he felt that Mr. Xie seemed to have suddenly returned to his original state was because of the strong contrast!

Yes, it’s a contrast!

Because ever since Mr. Xie married his wife, he could clearly feel that this "living devil" had changed his nature!

He remembered that after Mr. Xie got married, he became a completely different person.

Although there was still that inviolable majesty between his eyebrows, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes, like a hint of spring after the iceberg melted.

He would answer his wife's call in a serious meeting setting, his tone so gentle as if he was a different person, with the corners of his lips slightly raised and full of smiles.

That kind of smile was something Zhou Li had never seen before.

Not only that, Mr. Xie’s office is also full of traces of his wife.

The desk, bookshelf, and even the bedside table in the lounge are all filled with photos of his wife! The number is staggering!

Everyone who has entered his office praises him as a "wife slave".

Those executives who usually hold Mr. Xie in awe would privately tease him about his tough-guy yet tender side, but Mr. Xie, who is usually cold and tough, never refutes this.

For this reason, Zhou Li also enjoyed a lot of blessings.

Mr. Xie's temper has become much milder, and he no longer scolds people with a cold face like before.

Zhou Li even dared to say a few more irrelevant gossips when reporting on his work. The feeling of walking on thin ice seemed to gradually disappear with the appearance of his wife.

As a personal assistant, Zhou Li thought he had some understanding of his president.

After all, he has followed Xie Jincheng for so many years. He has witnessed all these changes with his own eyes, from when Mr. Xie was a cold-faced workaholic to now being a "wife slave" praised by everyone.

At least, he knew that Xie Jincheng really loved his wife. That kind of love was not superficial doting, but a deep concern.

For her, Mr. Xie would give up everything, even his own life.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about this explosion!

Although Zhou Li was not at the scene, he could imagine the thrill of the incident when he heard other people's descriptions afterwards.

At such a dangerous moment, Mr. Xie ignored his own safety and rushed to his wife without hesitation, using his body to block the impact of the explosion for her.

That kind of unhesitating determination is enough to prove how deep his love is!

Zhou Li even felt that if it were him at that time, he might not have had such courage.

But this is where the strange thing happens!

Why did he hide his illness from his wife!

A frightening scenario in which a patient undergoes a fake surgery and ends up in a vegetative state might be enough to fool the old guys on the board of directors, but why would he even fool his wife?

How sad my wife would be if she knew the truth!

Zhou Li is puzzled!

However, considering all the recent events, he had a bold guess in his mind:

Mr. Xie must have his reasons for doing this!

As for the reason, he hasn't figured it out yet!

but!

As an excellent special assistant, his duty is to execute orders, not to question the leader's decisions!

Besides, he is just a small supporting role and has no right to make comments on the couple’s affairs!

Maybe this is a surprise from Mr. Xie to his wife?
