Chapter 85 The Canary Under House Arrest?

It wasn't until the car had driven some distance from the hotel that Tang Xu, sitting inside, seemed to come to her senses.

She looked at Gao Yan, who was driving, and asked, "What are you doing here tonight?"

"A few high-ranking officials were having lunch here, discussing some matters," Gao Yan said. "Who would have thought they'd run into you? What happened?"

"It's nothing," Tang Xu replied. "It's all taken care of."

With that answer, Gao Yan didn't press further.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

Gao Yan glanced at the message and immediately frowned. Taking advantage of the red light, he turned on the interior light and looked back at Tang Xu's wrist.

What happened to your hand? It looks worse now.

Tang Xu was startled, and then looked down at her hands.

It seems to have gotten a bit worse, but she is completely unaware of it.

Gao Yan sighed and said, "Mr. Yan instructed that you be taken to the hospital first."

Tang Xu said "Oh," then suddenly remembered something—

Last night, before Yan Shiyu left, he seemed to have told her to go to the hospital early this morning.

Just now, his gaze seemed to linger on her wrist for a long time.

Tang Xu suddenly felt a little guilty and protected her wrist.

Gao Yan took her directly to the hospital, where the emergency room doctor examined her, changed her medication, and gave her detailed instructions before leaving.

After two days without proper rest, Tang Xu finally felt sleepy when leaving the hospital. As the car slowly drove off, she actually dozed off in the back seat.

When the car stopped, she opened her eyes and realized that she had arrived at Qiushuitai.

"Aren't we going back to Royal Bay?" Tang Xu didn't react for a moment.

"Huh?" Gao Yan said, "Nobody told me to go to Yujing Bay. Mr. Yan went back to Qiushuitai. Aren't you going up there?"

Tang Xu paused, finally realizing what was happening, and looked down at her bag, "I didn't bring my card..."

"I'll take you up," Gao Yan said.

Tang Xu had no choice but to get off the bus.

Gao Yan escorted her upstairs, and left again before even exiting the elevator.

Tang Xu entered the room, but Yan Shiyu was nowhere to be seen in the living room, and no one was in the bedroom either.

He was probably busy in his study, so Tang Xu didn't disturb him. He went to sit on the sofa and waited, but as he waited, he fell asleep on the sofa again.

She regained consciousness when Yan Shiyu gently patted her awake.

"Take a shower before you go to sleep."

"Oh."

Tang Xu was truly exhausted; her mind was no longer working, and she continued to entrust her body to Yan Shiyu.

Yan Shiyu bathed her for three consecutive days and had become completely familiar with the process. He calmly and unhurriedly completed all the procedures and actions before putting her on the bed.

Tang Xu lay obediently on the pillow waiting for him, but Yan Shiyu simply pulled the thin blanket over her body, saying, "You go to sleep first, I have a meeting to attend."

"Do we still have a meeting this late?"

"Ah."

"Then you should finish this sooner..."

As she was talking, she yawned, and soon after, she closed her eyes again.

Perhaps due to exhaustion, this was the best sleep Tang Xu had ever had at Qiushui Terrace.

When I woke up, it was already broad daylight.

She was alone in bed.

Tang Xu looked at the pillow beside her, but there seemed to be no trace of Yan Shiyu lying on it.

Could it be that he was in a meeting all night yesterday?

Thinking this, Tang Xu quickly threw off the covers and got out of bed. She walked to the study door, only to find it open but empty.

She walked around the house but couldn't find Yan Shiyu. When she returned to her room and checked the time, she realized it was already past eight o'clock.

By this time, Yan Shiyu should have already left home.

Tang Xu suddenly remembered something and rummaged through her bag again. She wasn't mistaken; she really didn't bring her card.

After checking the time, Tang Xu tried calling Gao Yan.

Gao Yan answered the phone quickly: "Miss Tang?"

"Can you come and save me?" Tang Xu said. "He left this morning without telling me. I don't have my card, so I can't leave."

Gao Yan pondered for a moment before saying, "Why don't you just rest there for a day?"

Tang Xu had slept well and was now fully awake. Upon hearing this, she quickly realized what was going on. "What do you mean? House arrest?"

Gao Yan sighed and said, "The doctor said you need to rest. Look at your hand, it's been injured for a few days, is it showing any signs of improvement?"

Tang Xu stared at her wrist and said, "This kind of injury will heal with some rest."

"So, you can just stay there and rest," Gao Yan said. "It's good to rest. Someone will bring you food, don't worry."

"Was that his idea?" Tang Xu asked.

Gao Yan paused for a moment and said, "Well, I don't know what's going on between you two... Anyway, I'm pretty busy today, so just bear with me. I have to go to a meeting, so I can't talk to you anymore."

After saying that, Gao Yan hung up the phone immediately.

Tang Xu looked at her phone, bit her lip, and then scrolled to Yan Shiyu's number.

However, after staring at that number for a long time, she still didn't dial the number.

We can only grit our teeth and bear it.

So Tang Xu was trapped in the mansion all day, with nothing to do.

For Tang Xu, this mansion held no warmth, for she was always just a passerby whenever she came here.

In the huge mansion, apart from the living room, kitchen, and balcony, she had only been to the master bedroom.

On this day, she finally had the opportunity to properly tour the other rooms.

However, apart from Yan Shiyu's master bedroom, study, and another room with a few pieces of exercise equipment, the other two rooms were completely empty.

Tang Xu had never seen a mansion decorated like this.

A house is like a home; no matter how little you need it, you'll still decorate and maintain the space inside.

It's rather strange that there are two empty rooms there for no reason.

With questions in mind, Tang Xu walked to the door of the last room and tried to open it, only to find that the door was locked and could not be opened.

Even the study is open, but this room is locked. I wonder what secrets it holds?
Tang Xu thought about it for a moment, but had no interest in investigating. She turned around and sat back down on the sofa, inevitably thinking about Song Yuqiao again.

After a moment of contemplation, she called Cheng Jin again to inquire about Qin Zhaowen's situation that day.

“You came to work as usual,” Cheng Jin replied, “but you didn’t look well, and you lost your temper a lot in the meeting today.”

"Do you know why?" Tang Xu asked.

Cheng Jin said, "Do you remember... there was a period of time before when the Jiang family was sending a lot of cooperation projects to the Song family?"

“I remember,” Tang Xu said.

Of course she remembered.

This incident occurred after the incident involving Jiang Ming and his wife.

Jiang Muchen went crazy, throwing projects at the Song family like crazy.

"After Qin Zhaowen took office, he tried to get his hands on all those projects, but he was rejected every time. That's why he was so furious."

Tang Xu responded with a faint "yes" and then said, "If he does anything strange again, let me know."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xu inevitably thought of Jiang Muchen again.

As it turns out, Jiang Muchen's behavior is simply beyond the comprehension of normal people.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't figure out what he wanted to do.

Tang Xu spent the entire day lying down and sitting up in the mansion, lost in thought.

Finally, as evening approached, some noise was heard outside.

However, the moment she heard the noise, Tang Xu's first reaction was to hide.

If it weren't Yan Shiyu or Gao Yan who came in, she couldn't imagine how she would handle herself.

She ran quickly into the bedroom, and only cautiously peeked out after confirming that someone had entered.

Unexpectedly, this glance came right up to the man's familiar, warm chest.
