Chapter 242: The wooden beauty of Young Master Sheng
Chapter 242: Farewell Forever
After leaving the hospital, Sheng Mingsi, exhausted, sat in the back seat, closed his eyes, and Jiang Chenchen sat beside him. Leaning against her shoulder, he almost fell asleep quickly.
Both of them were very tired.
Although Jiang Chenchen was also exhausted, she was more curious about how Sheng Mingsi had persuaded Zhan Chen. Unable to hold back, she asked.
Sheng Mingsi opened one eye to look at her, his dark eyes quickly closing again, and his voice sounded hoarse and dry, "Chenchen, this is a secret."
As he spoke, he wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her in front of him, sitting her on his thighs, holding her in a tight embrace, as if relying on her entirely.
He pressed close to her neck, his breath erratic and heavy, but he only held her tightly.
In a low, hoarse voice that followed his breath, he said, "Chenchen, take a nap."
Jiang Chenchen suddenly found herself in a warm embrace. Hearing his tired voice, she hugged him back tightly. With drowsiness taking over, she closed her eyes, letting go of any thoughts about the secret.
Wu Bi, the driver, had a serious expression, focusing only on the road and avoiding any unnecessary glances.
...
Every day, Jiang Chenchen still had to attend classes and would visit Zhan Chen in the hospital after school.
Regarding how Sheng Mingsi had convinced Zhan Chen, it remained a mystery, and Zhan Chen didn't reveal much either.
A week later, Zhan Chen left from there and returned to A Country.
In collaboration for a year, Zhan Chen and Sheng Mingsi managed to obtain research data about Jiang Chenchen. When they saw the results of the research, despite their speculations, they were still shocked.
If the director hadn't died before bringing the data to A Country, revealing the existence of the person involved in the experiment, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Jiang Chenchen was in deep trouble! Even they couldn't guarantee resistance against the entire world!
The laboratory's research went beyond this, posing a threat to humanity.
To stop these threats and completely erase any traces of Jiang Chenchen's identity, Zhan Chen, utilizing his authority, completely destroyed the laboratory, putting himself on the front lines.
Since the laboratory belonged to the upper echelons of A Country, the underground forces that had been monitoring them were directly caught, leading to a bloody and ruthless confrontation.
The royal family ultimately suppressed the underground forces but lost track of Zhan Chen.
He was immediately placed on the worldwide wanted list.
...
No one knew that Zhan Chen would appear in Sheng Mingsi's underground medical room.
If Sheng Mingsi and Fang Yiqing hadn't conducted an eight-hour-long surgery, he would probably have died already.
Although his life had been temporarily saved, the situation was still dangerous.
It wasn't just a matter of his physical condition; no information could leak.
Fang Yiqing made a suggestion.
"Why not let me take care of him? I can treat his illness. I've researched this for several years, and no one understands his body better than me."
Jiang Chenchen, having witnessed her abilities during surgery—calm, cool-headed, and quick in judgment—felt that her courage and surgical experience were probably even more extensive than Sheng Mingsi's.
Considering that Sheng Mingsi also had to manage his daytime work and couldn't take care of Zhan Chen well, after considering it, he called the professor on the island and planned to have his cousin arrange for Zhan Chen to be placed there.
Zhan Chen lay on the sickbed, smiling weakly. "No need to waste your efforts."
Jiang Chenchen knelt by the bedside, feeling guilty and distressed. "Brother, it's not allowed. Even if there's the slightest hope left, we can't give up. Besides, Sister Fang is very powerful. She will definitely cure you!"
All of this happened because of her. They all went through this for her sake.
Zhan Chen's moonlight-like eyes gradually dimmed, and he shook his head weakly.
Jiang Chenchen gripped the edge of the bed tightly, tears falling silently. She moved her gaze away from his face and looked at Sheng Mingsi behind her. "Ah Si... what should we do? It's all because of me. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would never have let you take such risks!"
Sheng Mingsi took a couple of steps forward, his dark eyes deep and cold. He lowered his head and comforted, "Chenchen, how can you blame yourself? It was all done willingly. Zhan Chen, as your brother, did everything he did for his sister. If you blame yourself too much, he will be even more distressed."
He reached out and gently wiped away the tears on her face. "Don't say pessimistic things. Leave it to your cousin; everything will be fine."
Comforting Jiang Chenchen's emotions, he looked down at the person lying on the hospital bed, his eyes tired yet cold and solemn.
"Zhan Chen, there is hope in living. Let's celebrate Chenchen's birthday together this year."
Upon hearing this, Zhan Chen weakly smiled, "Sheng Mingsi, the way you say it, I'm filled with anticipation."
It seemed like a pact, a hope.
Fang Yiqing stood with her arms crossed, saying lightly, "Rest assured, I won't let you die so easily. Over the years, I've made some breakthroughs. My life only becomes meaningful when I pick up the scalpel. Leave it to me."
This was the cousin that Sheng Mingsi had admired since childhood, the initial inspiration for him to study medicine.
Zhan Chen was sent to the island.
Originally, Jiang Chenchen had intended to take a leave of absence to go take care of him, but he refused. He hated farewells and detested the idea of dying in front of her.
Even if he were to die, he didn't want to witness the farewell and her helpless tears.
...
Jiang Chenchen's secret was forever buried.
She didn't know either.
Neither Sheng Mingsi nor Zhan Chen revealed anything to anyone.
Time passed peacefully. On Jiang Chenchen's 22nd birthday, Zhan Chen couldn't make it to the appointment. He died in a murder, stabbed in the abdomen by his former follower, Bian Zhicheng.
The illegitimate son of Sheng Mingsi's father.
The incident was too sudden. Under tight security, how could someone carry out an attack on the plane?
That person had been kept in custody by his mother, hadn't he?
The more Sheng Mingsi thought, the paler his face became.
He suppressed this matter, personally buried Zhan Chen, and accompanied him in eternal rest, along with the string of beads that had turned into blood droplets.
Jiang Chenchen waited for Zhan Chen's arrival, but even Sheng Mingsi didn't show up.
Close to midnight.
Sheng Mingsi finally returned, appearing ice-cold, exhausted, and pale. He embraced the person waiting at the door, unable to control his trembling.
Jiang Chenchen didn't understand what had happened, but it must be something very serious for him to be so distressed and scared.
Her heart couldn't help but panic. She hugged him back, providing warmth.
"Ah Si, it's okay. Don't be afraid. I'm here."
"Chenchen." Sheng Mingsi finally calmed down, released from her embrace, placed his hands on her shoulders, and looked at her seriously. "Let's leave this place."
"Where are we going?"
"Anywhere, are you willing to go with me?"
"Of course."
The early morning bells rang.
Sheng Mingsi lowered his head and said to her, "Happy birthday."
