On the night they met, there was his madness, their wedding under the gaze of millions, and his past cruelty and laughter, now juxtaposed with love and gentleness that both confused and repelled her.
These fragments remained vivid in her memory, deeply embedded, warming her and preventing loneliness from invading her again.
The phone’s ringtone pierced through her thoughts. Seeing the familiar number, she hastily answered, “Brother, what is going on?” Her voice trembled uncontrollably.
“Are you okay? I heard you were there today,” Owen replied, avoiding her question.
Ou Xueman knew he was withholding information. “Stop hiding things from me, brother. What happened? How is he?”
“Do you care about him?” Owen asked with surprise.
Tearing at her hair, the physical pain could not compare to her heartache. “I don’t know… I don’t know, I really don’t know.”
Actually, she knew. She loved him and always had. Even after being wounded, she could not find hatred for him in her heart.
“His actions against the Yamaguchi group were too harsh and hasty, causing internal division.”
This incident was likely planned by radical elements within the group. I’m not clear about his current condition, only that Dr. Sader is treating him.”
“How could this happen? Didn’t you say he had control of the Yamaguchi group?” Ou Xueman’s urgency stemmed from concern for her safety.
“I don’t know what’s wrong with him. It’s so unlike his style,” Owen said, confusion evident in his voice. After a moment of silence, he added, “Xueman, go see him. Consider it helping your brother, watching over him. With him around, I’m completely helpless regarding Di Ying.”
“You made a move?”
Owen sighed, “Yes, but he blocked everything…”
“Brother, where is he?” Ou Xueman urgently wanted to see him, even if it were just a lifeless body.
“Xuanxuan.” A startled cry. He suddenly woke up, instinctively searching for her.
She did not respond, quietly looking at him and perceiving his love.
Seeing her silent for a long time, Di Xihuang calmed slightly, “You must be wondering why I’m fine.”
She remained silent.
He let out a sigh, “The news of my serious injury was an intentional false impression. It seems someone in my company is plotting something, and I want to use this opportunity to expose that person.”
