My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 320 - 29 Chen Lijuan_2

"Probably not until evening," Han Shouxin thought for a moment and said.

He wasn’t supposed to make it, but he happened to be off duty today.

Lin Xiaoguai thought for a moment and said to Luo Yufang, "Grandma, you go back first, cook some plain congee, and make some light dishes. Shen Chi will definitely need to eat when he wakes up. I’ll stay here and wait."

"Okay, I’ll go back first," Luo Yufang sighed. Things had been restive at home recently; her great-grandson’s facial scar hadn’t completely faded before her grandson had an accident.

She wondered if she should go to the temple to pray for a peace charm to dispel the bad luck.

Shen Chi woke up after surgery in the middle of the night to Lin Xiaoguai, who had been dozing by the bed, noticing his stir, she said somewhat groggily, "Awake?"

As she spoke, she turned on the light and picked up the thermos beside her.

—This was because she saw that Shen Chi was not waking up and, fearing that the congee and dishes would get cold, she took them out from the space.

"Wanwan?" Shen Chi’s voice was somewhat hoarse.

Lin Xiaoguai picked up the half-cup of cold boiled water that had been by the bed for a long time and then filled it up with the hot water bottle and fed him.

"Why are you here?"

Lin Xiaoguai glared at him disapprovingly upon hearing this, "You’re hospitalized. Where should I be if not here?"

Shen Chi, upon hearing this, didn’t get angry at all but instead showed a big smile and said softly, "Wanwan, I’m very happy."

His gaze was intense as he looked her way, making Lin Xiaoguai extremely uncomfortable. She poured out the congee from the thermos, scooped a spoonful, and offered it to his mouth.

Knowing she was embarrassed, Shen Chi didn’t press her and ate the congee with a smile.

Once the congee was all eaten, Lin Xiaoguai wiped his mouth and then said, "You should sleep now."

"I can’t sleep," Shen Chi blinked and said.

"Then close your eyes and rest. You just had surgery, and it’s when your vitality is greatly damaged," Lin Xiaoguai coaxed in a soft voice.

Shen Chi did as told and closed his eyes, and Lin Xiaoguai reached out to tuck him in. Suddenly feeling wide awake, her gaze unavoidably fell on the person in the hospital bed.

The atmosphere in the room became warm and peaceful, filled with a strong sense of warmth.

Shen Chi initially thought he couldn’t sleep, but feeling the gentle gaze from Wanwan upon him, he felt a sense of peace within and drifted off into slumber unknowingly.

Early the next morning, when the doctor came to check on him, Shen Chi was already awake and appeared to be in good spirits.

"It looks like you’re recovering well," Feng Li said with a smile, "You’re lucky, boy. Delaying that long without getting an infection, and the bleeding stopped soon after it started. The surgery was unexpectedly successful."

Shen Chi smiled, knowing it wasn’t a matter of luck but the effect of Wanwan’s medicine.

"Okay, no more kidding around," Feng Li lowered his voice and said in his ear, "The higher-ups said this case is too sensitive and we need to keep it under wraps, with no word getting out."

"What about behind the scenes?" Shen Chi wasn’t surprised by this outcome.

"Such acts of drugging and prostitution do not sit well with the authorities, and this matter will be handed over to the Criminal Police Team in each province for strict enforcement," Feng Li emphasized the phrase "strict enforcement."

"Of course, you and Chen Han played a significant role in this, and although I can’t promote you, a first-class merit award is definitely coming your way."

Shen Chi wasn’t concerned about this, instead he said, "Please pass a message to the Criminal Police Team for me. Though Chen Lijuan may seem like a small fish, if they are patient, they should be able to pry some surprises out of her."

Chen Han’s ex-wife was not simple, and Shen Chi hadn’t forgotten how she shot Chen Han and instead of fighting, turned to run away—a stark contrast to others who were intent on silencing them in a direct confrontation. One could say she was cowardly and fearful, but he sensed a more complex story.

Chen Lijuan, a person with ruthless intentions, might be willing to take orders from others, but she certainly wouldn’t settle for that, most likely always plotting to hold some leverage over those above her for self-protection and to facilitate an escape later.

It was just unknown how significant that leverage was.

Shen Chi wasn’t one to speak without thinking, and since he had mentioned it, Feng Li would take it seriously and ponder over how to make others give due importance.

"By the way, where’s Chen Han?" Shen Chi changed the subject.

He wasn’t worried about the wound on his shoulder at all. With his discernment, it was clear that the gunshot hadn’t hit the inner bone.

"Him? He’s busy with Zhong Wu, managing over a hundred girls is more headache-inducing than a hundred ducks," Feng Li said, recalling how Chen Han had come last night, disheartened, only to hurriedly leave upon learning that Shen Chi’s surgery had gone smoothly, which made him chuckle.

At this moment, neither of them knew that Chen Han was not just having a headache—his head was about to explode!

"Let me go! Chen Han, don’t you walk away, you explain to me, why did you frame me?" Chen Lijuan, being held by two criminal police officers, struggled ceaselessly as if she would pounce on Chen Han the moment she was let go, her eyes filled with anger and hatred.

She was beautiful and possessed a gentle demeanor; her current defiance didn’t make her appear flustered but rather more compelling and determined.

Chen Han had no interest in dealing with her, it was obvious she was trying to use him to escape.

"At the start, you accidentally killed grandma, and you relied on your connections in the military to pin the murder charge on me. I couldn’t bear to expose you, so I had to flee overnight. After so much suffering and hardship, I finally settled down in Hong Kong, living without worries about food or clothing. Yet unexpectedly, upon returning to my hometown, you’ve thrown another batch of dirty water on me."

"Yes, I was devoted to you, but you can’t waste my feelings for you, hurting me time and again," Chen Lijuan continued angrily.

Her voice was full of sorrow and despair, deeply moving anyone who heard it.

Chen Han’s expression grew increasingly dark, turning pitch black.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at Qidian (qidian.com) with your recommendation and monthly ticket. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
