"18 billion."

Zhou Yichuan chuckled and said, "It's not that we can't afford to pay, but remember to bring your legal and accounting staff with you to Huaihai Hospital to settle the details with me in person."

Lisa on the other end of the phone almost choked on her breath.

She wouldn't mistake the voice.

If you talk to her on the phone now, it will definitely be Zhou Yichuan himself!

but……

What is he saying?

Why does he act like he's going to take the consequences for Qiao Junyao?

What happened to the agreed-upon marriage of convenience, devoid of any affection?!

Lisa immediately changed her tune and apologized, "Mr. Zhou! You misunderstood, that's not what I meant! I meant to ask... how is Junyao doing now?"

Zhou Yichuan glanced back at the hospital bed and said in a low voice, "Still unconscious."

Lisa rallied her spirits and smiled apologetically, "Then let her rest well! We can talk after she's rested enough! You, you should also take care of yourself! Then I'll—"

"I'm not sleepy." Zhou Yichuan coldly interrupted Lisa's plan to leave. "Bring your people and all the documents, and come to Huaihai to find me right now. We'll settle the score properly."

Zhou Yichuan hung up the phone, and Master Liang, who had come to check the beads, arrived just then.

Ye Yang carefully lifted Jun Yao's hand, took the string of unusual crystals from her wrist, and handed it to the feng shui master Liang Jingu.

Liang Jingu took the string of beads and rubbed it repeatedly, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Ye Yang asked in a low voice, "Master Liang, the things attached to this aren't simple, are they?"

Liang Jingu gritted his teeth. "Hmm, definitely not an ordinary person..."

Ye Yang couldn't help but feel nervous. "How much of an impact will it have on President Zhou?"

"Don't panic, don't panic..."

Liang Jingu was sweating, clutching the crystal beaded string in his hand, his head buzzing.

What?

He's late!

The magical artifact that imprisoned the fox spirit was broken by a master, allowing the fox spirit to escape!

Who knows where that thing went and started harming people?!

Fortunately, he noticed that Zhou Yichuan looked clean and bright, unlike his usual appearance, which was covered in dark energy.

Liang Jingu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He glanced at Jun Yao, who was fast asleep.

Her complexion gradually became rosy, and she seemed to be sleeping soundly.

It seems there are no signs of being possessed by a fox spirit.

that……

What useful thing could he possibly gain from this trip?!

We can't let President Zhou think he's useless!

Liang Jingu gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, pointed at the crystal bead string, and said to Zhou Yichuan with a look of utter dismay:

"Mr. Zhou! This thing can't be kept!"

"I must take it back as soon as possible! Cast a spell and destroy it!"

"To prevent this magic artifact from causing trouble again, bewitching others, and bringing disaster!"

Zhou Yichuan blinked.

This means they agreed.

Liang Jingu then recalled Wei Yu, who was manipulating the spirits, and said, "I just met the female celebrity that President Zhou asked me to meet! She was indeed harmed by the spirits and ended up like this. However, it was Ms. Wei Yu who used her seductive arts first! She was wicked and carried this thing with her, and unfortunately encountered some kind of evil force of unknown origin, thus suffering a backlash. Consider it retribution!"

Zhou Yichuan understood the gist of it.

He was not interested in Wei Yu's retribution.

He was more curious about the so-called "some kind of evil force of unknown origin".

Zhou Yichuan: "Master Liang, can't you find the source of this evil power?"

Before Liang Jingu could answer, he looked at the sleeping Jun Yao and pressed, "Master, is the evil power you mentioned related to Qiao Junyao?"

Following Zhou Yichuan's lead, Liang Jingu also looked towards the hospital bed.

Junyao was sleeping soundly on his back, oblivious to the world around him.

She had a clear and refreshing aura.

No matter how Liang Jingu looked at it, he was convinced that this was just an ordinary person.

Of course, the entire internet is already in an uproar over the incident of Qiao Junyao slapping Wei Yu.

Everyone thinks that Wei Yu was ruined by Qiao Junyao.

But Liang Jingu doesn't think so.

He had been visiting the Zhou family for so long, but he had never seen anything unusual about Qiao Junyao.

Those are nothing but slanders fabricated by outsiders based on their imagination!

Therefore, Liang Jingu said with certainty, "President Zhou, this evil force has absolutely nothing to do with your wife! I will focus my investigation on the theater backstage tonight. Perhaps someone has already tampered with things, and your wife just happened to trigger this evil energy."

Zhou Yichuan thanked him again, saying, "Thank you for your help, Master."

"No, no, it's all what I should do!" Liang Jingu said modestly with a smile.

With the matter concluded, Zhou Yichuan, valuing every moment, gestured to Ye Yang to see the guest out.

The ward had finally been quiet for a while when people came again.

This time, it was Wei Yu's agent, Xiao Ma, who came.

He knew she was Zhou Yichuan's recent favorite.

So he had to seize the opportunity to demand an explanation for Wei Yu!

Little Ma was in tears and looked aggrieved as soon as he arrived.

"Mr. Zhou, Xiaoyu has really suffered a huge loss this time!"

"Mr. Zhou, you love Xiaoyu so much, you surely wouldn't bear to see her suffer such physical and mental torment!"

"If you ask me, Qiao Junyao, the perpetrator, should be punished tenfold or a hundredfold!"

Zhou Yichuan glanced at him coldly. "How do you intend to punish me?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ma exclaimed, "This has potential!"

He quickly said, "The Best Actress award that Xiaoyu deserves should definitely go to her!"

"Qiao Junyao disfigured someone's face; she should be arrested and detained!"

"Qiao Junyao should also cover all of Xiaoyu's subsequent medical expenses!"

"Finished?" Zhou Yichuan's lips curled indifferently. "Are you going to send my wife in?"

Little Ma's body trembled.

What?

My wife?

No, this is nine-tenths wrong...

"Ye Yang," Zhou Yichuan asked sternly, "Is this how they usually bully Madam?"

Ye Yang was so nervous his scalp tingled. "President! It was my oversight! I'll investigate Ma Youcai right now and make sure he's arrested!"

pony:"……?"

How could this happen?

Nobody told him that Wei Yu had fallen out of favor!

The Zhou family bodyguards acted swiftly, and before Xiao Ma could say anything more, they covered his mouth and dragged him away.

The patients in Junyao's ward have changed twice by now.

But it didn't affect her sleep at all.

She was sleeping soundly.

It's as if I've never slept in my entire life.

In contrast, Zhou Yichuan appeared to be in exceptionally good spirits.

Before dawn, he also met with Qiao Junyao's agent and the public relations team who had rushed over to work overtime.

Zhou Yichuan: "Qiao Junyao is only taking a temporary break."

"You are responsible for handling all her upcoming announcements and brand events; they will all be postponed."

"Don't assign her any work before then."

He said what he wanted to say, and the others could only nod and obey.

After Zhou Yichuan finished making these arrangements, a sliver of dawn appeared on the eastern horizon.

With bloodshot eyes, Ye Yang came over to remind him, "President, you should rest."

Zhou Yichuan was in a daze for a moment.

How long has it been since he felt sleepy?

The fog-like feeling that enveloped his consciousness, like a glass dome, gradually faded and disappeared from the moment Jun Yao hugged him.

He initially thought it was a coincidence.

But now it seems that it was by no means a coincidence.

Zhou Yichuan looked at the sleeping Jun Yao, his eyes dark and unfathomable.

……

dawn.

Junyao was woken up by hunger.

The muffled rumbling coming from her internal organs was like a large army loudly rebelling inside her stomach, banging drums and gongs.

Being a human is such a hassle!

When she was a judge, she only needed to eat incense once every ten days or half a month.

You don't need to spend time and money to fill three meals a day.

But at the same time, they also cannot enjoy the delicacies of everyday life.

It's different now.

She lived in the original owner's body and was an ordinary person who could only survive by eating grains.

no way.

eat!

Eat as much as you want!

Junyao glanced at the ward.

Zhou Yichuan and his men had disappeared, leaving only two polite medical staff with her.

She didn't care where Zhou Yichuan went.

She needs to feed herself first!

Junyao treated herself to a hot pot meal.

Hanging dragon meat, snowflake meat, goose intestines, beef aorta, duck blood, fish roe pouches...

Junyao clicked on all the items that interested her.

They don't care about calories or anything like that.

She won't be a female celebrity anymore.

Why bother with this?

Shortly afterward, plates of fresh and tender ingredients were brought into the ward.

Outside the ward, two entertainment reporters disguised as medical staff stared in disbelief.

"Have you found out? Is Qiao Junyao really staying in this ward?"

"That's right..."

"But have you ever seen a female celebrity dare to eat like this? The dishes just brought in are enough for ten people!"
