Chapter 166: Chapter 166 Actually, What President Shen Needs the Most Right Now Is...

Shen Dang had drunk water laced with drugs and soon felt utterly weak.

He locked himself up and then called Assistant Gao.

The drug was indeed formidable; he was at the point of unbearable suffering.

With his self-control, he didn’t necessarily want to do anything, but the constant fragrance nearby floated into his nostrils, close yet distant, tempting beyond measure—for Shen Dang at this moment, it was fatally alluring.

Shen Dang pressed himself against the car window, enduring the heat waves churning in his body.

He couldn’t approach her, couldn’t scare her again.

Yet the agonizing pain clawed at him incessantly.

Shen Dang tensed his body, his eyes reddened, as if at any moment he would be overtaken by the desire within his heart.

The air was oppressively tight; Qiao Xi dared not look at him. She said to the person in front, "Assistant Gao, drive faster!"

"...Okay."

He was already driving as fast as possible.

In the dead of winter, Assistant Gao’s back was covered in sweat.

He hadn’t expected the Qiao family to have the audacity to drug Boss Shen; was this not courting death?

The Qiao family was finished!

"Qiao Xi." Shen Dang called her again; his dark eyes unwaveringly fixed on her, as if turbulent waves were churning in them, his voice deep and hoarse, burning as his body: "I’m in pain... Qiao Xi."

If she weren’t by his side, perhaps he wouldn’t be suffering so much.

At this moment for Shen Dang, a woman was the deadliest thing.

But even though he desperately wanted to do something, Shen Dang kept hypnotizing himself to endure.

He wasn’t a beast; he couldn’t do that to her.

She would get angry.

Only the name ’Qiao Xi’ lingering on his lips seemed to offer him some relief.

Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi.

Everything was her.

Qiao Xi’s voice was cool and calming, "I know, just hold on a little longer, we’re almost at the hospital."

Although there was a distance between them, Qiao Xi could feel the scorching breath from his body.

Even the temperature inside the car seemed unusually hot, as if fostering an ambiguous atmosphere that provoked fanciful thoughts.

At this point, Assistant Gao tentatively suggested, "Madam, actually what President Shen needs most right now is... perhaps you could..."

He was feeling upset just looking at the boss like this.

Qiao Xi, of course, caught the implication.

Her face flushed, and in the dim light of the car, she hid her own abnormal reaction.

Her spoken words were cool, "Assistant Gao, focus on driving and don’t get distracted!"

Assistant Gao: "..."

Sigh, he really didn’t understand what was going on with this couple.

Hearing Qiao Xi’s words, Shen Dang, with closed eyes, suddenly let out a faint mocking chuckle.

Qiao Xi wasn’t sure if it was an illusion; she turned her head to look at Shen Dang.

The lamplight from the street shone through the car window just right. She saw Shen Dang with his head bowed, his hands tightly clenched as if he was enduring something.

She knew he was in pain.

But there was nothing she could do.

Qiao Xi bit her lip and averted her gaze from him.

When they arrived at the hospital, Shen Dang was like a wrung-out cloth.

The doctor gave Shen Dang an injection immediately.

Qiao Xi and Assistant Gao stood by.

The IV fluid entered, the doctor withdrew the needle, and suddenly noticed scars on Shen Dang’s wrist.

"Boss, your hand..."

The flush from the drugs had slowly faded from Shen Dang’s face, and even the natural color had drained away, leaving only pallor, with lips that were now white.

His eyelids drooped, and he parted his lips slightly, "It’s nothing, just need to bandage it."

"I’ll get the medicine right away."

The doctor quickly left.

"What happened to your hand?"

Qiao Xi came closer and saw that the wounds on Shen Dang’s wrist looked like several knife slashes.

His skin was alarmingly white, with spotty bloodstains. The bleeding had stopped, but the scars were still gruesome.

He had resorted to self-harm to keep himself alert.

Qiao Xi’s pupils contracted, "Aren’t you Boss Shen? How could you fall for such a lowly trap?"

Assistant Gao turned sharply to look at his boss.

Madam’s words seemed rather cold. Shouldn’t she be more concerned about the boss at this time?

But he saw no sign of anger from his boss; only a hook of the lips and a cold laugh, "Is a boss not a human being?"

Who could have known they would resort to such tactics at her home?

He had indeed been outmaneuvered.

Truly some people can be repugnantly shameless without a bottom line.

Qiao Xi suddenly felt angry; her phoenix eyes coldly stared at Shen Dang, "So why did you go to the Qiao family’s place?"

Shen Dang fell silent.

If he had not gone, tonight’s events wouldn’t have happened.

Unable to stand the atmosphere, Qiao Xi turned and left the ward.

She sat on the bench outside, hands covering her face, her heart filled with fear and pain.

Assistant Gao couldn’t help but exhale deeply.

Really, what was going on here? He was totally baffled.

The doctor returned and Qiao Xi also followed him back inside; her facial expression was composed, revealing no hint of distress.

The doctor expertly treated Shen Dang’s wounded hand.

Shen Dang reclined lazily on the hospital bed, his eyelids lifted slightly as he idly ordered, "Assistant Gao, I want a proposal regarding the acquisition and division of Qiao Group, go handle it."

His eyes, however, were cold and desolate.

A large conglomerate’s fate determined by a single command.

The Qiao family had dug its own grave; they could blame no one but themselves.

Assistant Gao inwardly cursed the Qiao family for deserving it; daring to act, they must now bear the brunt of Boss Shen’s retribution.

But considering the Madam was still here, was it right for the boss to speak of such things?

After all, it was the Madam’s maternal home.

Just then, Qiao Xi stated, "I hold shares in Qiao Group; if you need them, I can offer my help."

Assistant Gao: "..."

Was it his own perspective that was too narrow???

Assistant Gao turned and respectfully said to Qiao Xi, "Madam, I’ll be going now; please take good care of President Shen."

Qiao Xi looked at him, her voice cool, "Shen Dang has a car parked at the Qiao family’s, go and drive it back."

"Okay."

Assistant Gao left.

"The boss should drink more water tonight, rest well, and you’ll be fine tomorrow. Also, be careful not to wet the wound."

The doctor left after giving advice.

Qiao Xi thought to herself, he really did have a hard fate.

Recently injured, and now besieged by a dark plot.

What a miserable boss.

"Let’s go home," Shen Dang suddenly said.

Qiao Xi looked at him; he didn’t seem to be joking, and she hesitated, "Go home? Not stay in the hospital overnight?"

Having been drugged was no big deal. An injection and all would be well, "Let’s go," his tone nonchalant.

Aside from his voice still being slightly hoarse, he seemed quite normal.

"..."

Qiao Xi could only take Shen Dang home.

She drove herself.

Shen Dang sat in the back seat.

The car lights were off, only the outside light seeping in; Qiao Xi occasionally glancing into the rearview mirror could see his silent silhouette.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but purse her lips.

What was he thinking at this moment?
