No matter what, in the end, those who remain by Yu Xiuzhun’s side must be people he trusts deeply.

If it weren’t for that assistant, Ye Mingmei wouldn’t have been able to leave safely.

"It’s getting late today. You should rest at home first, and tomorrow morning, I’ll go with you."

Jin Chenye patted her head, signaling Ye Mingmei not to worry.

Ye Mingmei hesitated for a second, thought of the baby in her belly, compromised and nodded, then turned and went back to her room.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, Ye Mingmei got up.

But when she went downstairs, Jin Chenye had already changed out of his loungewear and was sitting on the sofa in the living room, a document in his hand.

When he saw Ye Mingmei come down, he stood up from the sofa and handed it to her.

"This is the report from the investigation, about Yu Xiuzhun’s assistant. Since he’s still a key figure in the case, he has to remain under police surveillance. If you want to help him, I’m afraid you’ll have to wait a bit."

"Thank you, senior." Ye Mingmei took the documents from his hands, so touched she didn’t know what to say.

"Let’s go." Jin Chenye gave a slight smile, accepting her gratitude, put his hands in his pockets, and took the lead in walking ahead.

At the hospital, Jin Chenye led Ye Mingmei to the entrance of a ward, then went to take care of the visitor procedures.

All alone, Ye Mingmei stood at the door for a few seconds before stepping forward and knocking on the door.

She gently pushed the door open and walked in.

The white hospital room was very quiet.

The entire room had only one hospital bed, with a table by its side at the same height as the bed. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

The room’s light color palette exuded a hint of melancholy.

A vase was placed on the table, its glass material reflected a soft luster in the faint light.

This was not the time for rounds, so in the room, there was only a resting assistant and the suddenly appearing Ye Mingmei.

"Miss Ye."

Upon seeing Ye Mingmei, the assistant on the hospital bed propped his hands on the edge anxiously trying to sit up.

"Your injuries haven’t healed yet, just lie back." Ye Mingmei turned to close the door, quickly stepped forward, and pressed down on his shoulders.

She placed the supplements and fruits she had brought on the bedside table.

"I heard you got shot twice in the abdomen and fell into the sea. If you weren’t lucky enough that none hit a vital spot, at this moment, you could have been... If I hadn’t been hospitalized, I should’ve visited you sooner, I’m sorry."

Ye Mingmei stood by the bed, apologizing somewhat guiltily.

To protect her alone, two people were implicated.

"Hospitalized... Miss Ye, Mr. Yu’s child... cough cough!" When the assistant heard Ye Mingmei’s words, his expression suddenly changed, and he anxiously tried to speak, but ended up coughing hard.

The exertion pulled at his wound, turning his face pale.

"My baby is fine, you don’t need to worry." Ye Mingmei supported him with one hand. Seeing his color improve slightly, she poured him a glass of water.

"But Mr. Yu..." The assistant’s words made both their eyes well up with tears simultaneously.

Ye Mingmei sniffled, pulling a small smile, "He hasn’t been found yet."

"..."

"After he fell into the sea, he disappeared, and it’s been several days without a single clue." Those ominous words, Ye Mingmei just couldn’t bring herself to say.

"It’s all my fault. If I could have found Mr. Yu a bit sooner, perhaps he wouldn’t have gone missing... If something happens to Mr. Yu, what’s the point of my life..."

The assistant, his emotions stirred, tried to pull the IV needle out of his hand.

"Don’t do this, it’s not your fault, let me finish!" Ye Mingmei came to her senses and quickly reached out to stop him.
