Liang Yu moved to the side of the door, dodging the woman's outstretched hand.

He raised his arm again and pushed the door open, pinning the woman against it, leaving a crack so he could yell at her:

"Cao Lan, stop acting crazy in the hospital. I had no idea you were in Haicheng. If you keep causing trouble, I'll call the police."

Cao Lan said fiercely:

"Liang Yu, let me tell you, if anything happens to my son, you shouldn't live either. You'll get nothing!"

Liang Yu said:

"Then you'd better keep a close eye on your son and make sure he doesn't come to Haicheng unless it's absolutely necessary!"

Cao Lan roared in fury:

"How dare you lay a hand on my son! You just wait, I won't let you get away with this! Let me tell you, as long as I, Cao Lan, am alive, you are nothing!"

The commotion at the ward entrance quickly attracted the attention of the doctor on duty.

When Zhou Yang arrived, he saw Cao Lan pushing the door open and cursing at Liang Yu through the crack in the door.

Zhou Yang immediately stopped Cao Lan:

"Ma'am, this is a hospital. Please be quiet. If you don't stop, I can call the police and report you for causing a disturbance in the hospital!"

Cao Lan turned her head and saw that it was the doctor who had just taken her to the operating room door. Her anger dissipated almost completely.

Cao Lan immediately composed herself, straightened her clothes, and asked Zhou Yang gently:

"Doctor, how is my son? Can I see him now?"

Zhou Yang replied:

"The surgery has just been completed. You can go over now. Don't shout in the hospital; it will disturb other patients' rest."

Cao Lan immediately smiled and said "okay," then gave Zhou Yang a slight bow and said:

"Thank you, doctor. I'll go see my son right now."

After saying that, he glared at Liang Yu and said in an unfriendly tone:

"You wait, I've got this score."

After Cao Lan finished speaking, she quickly left.

Zhou Yang walked up to Liang Yu and asked gently:

"Are you alright? Are you hurt?"

Liang Yu opened the door, shook his head, and asked Zhou Yang as he walked down the corridor:

"What happened to her son?"

Zhou Yang walked back as he went:

"The tendon on the back of my hand was cut by flying shards of glass, but it has been surgically repaired. With proper rest, I'll be fine."

Then he asked:

Why are you here?

Liang Yuhui:

"The person who collided with Cao Lan's son was Fang Yao, Fang Ze's sister. Fang Ze's phone was off, so the traffic police called me here."

Zhou Yang hummed in agreement and said:

"The people in the car all have minor external injuries, so you don't need to worry."

Liang Yu replied with a faint smile:

"Actually, I'm not worried at all."

It's just annoying that Fang Yao had to run into Liang Song.

Seeing that Liang Yu seemed to be alright, Zhou Yang asked:

"Liang Yu, what are your thoughts on the non-invasive brain-computer interface treatment plan we discussed last time?"

Liang Yu said:

"I'd like to try a non-invasive brain-computer interface treatment, but I'll have to wait three months."

"I have a tricky matter to deal with right now, and I want to deal with this first before focusing on treatment."

Zhou Yang nodded and replied:

"Okay, you can contact me anytime."

Zhou Yang put Liang Yu in a taxi back to the company before turning back to the emergency room.

Fang Yao was shocked and agitated after witnessing Liang Yu and Cao Lan arguing at the door of the ward.

As soon as Liang Yu left, Fang Yao immediately dialed Shi Yue's number:

"Yueyue, you guessed right! Liang An's wife and Liang Yu really do know each other! And I saw and heard Liang An's wife say to Liang Yu with my own eyes and ears, 'As long as I, Cao Lan, am around, you are nothing!'"

Shi Yue asked:

"How did you know? How did you find out so quickly?"

Fang Yao covered the phone and whispered:

"Didn't you say Liang Song was coming to the concert this afternoon? So I drove there myself, and I actually ran into him in the parking lot!"

"I deliberately fought him for a parking space and crashed into his car. Sigh~ I was injured and hospitalized. But Liang An's wife came, so I also called Liang Yu to the hospital."

"You wouldn't believe it, it was like God was helping us! Those two actually bumped into each other outside my hospital room and started fighting. It was quite a scene!"

Shi Yue asked urgently:

"You're injured and in the hospital? Where are you hurt? I'll come see you after get off work. You were so reckless! What if you've hurt yourself?"

Fang Yao replied with a bitter expression:

"I didn't expect that stepping on the gas would have such power. I was just looking for an excuse to talk to Liang Song. You can't tell my brother."

Shi Yue replied:

"Okay, I definitely won't tell. Let's think carefully about how to extort hush money from Liang Yu. Did you film it?"

Fang Yao replied:

"Of course I filmed it. I think Liang An's wife really hates Liang Yu, and wishes she could kill him directly."

"Yueyue, do you think Liang Yu might really be having an affair with that old man Liang An? If Liang Yu dares to do anything to betray my brother, I will definitely not let him get away with it!"

Shi Yue replied:

"Don't worry, if this is true, I won't let Liang Yu off the hook either. You take good care of yourself in the hospital, and I'll come to visit you after get off work."

Fang Yao instructed:

"Okay, remember to call my mom to come along."

Shi Yue replied "okay," hung up, and dialed another number.

The phone rang once and connected. Shi Yue covered the phone and whispered:

"Liang An's wife really knows Liang Yu, and the two must not get along at all."

The person on the other end of the phone replied:

"It seems Fang Yao is very efficient. How did you convince her to do things for you?"

Shi Yue smiled and whispered back:

"I told Fang Yao that Liang Yu and Liang An seemed to have some kind of relationship. Liang An's wife definitely knew about it and knew Liang Yu. If she could keep this secret in her hands, she could extort a lot of money from Liang Yu."

"I told her that Liang Song came to Haicheng to see the concert today, and I also told her that I could get in touch with Liang An's wife through Liang Song and find out what the relationship is between Liang Yu and Liang An."

"And guess what? Fang Yao said that Liang Yu and Liang An might be having an affair because Liang An's wife seemed to want to kill Liang Yu."

The person on the other end of the phone replied:

"That's good. Let Fang Yao continue to misunderstand. As long as Fang Yao causes trouble for Liang Yu, Liang Yu won't suspect you."

"We're proceeding according to plan. You sell that sapphire necklace and transfer the money to me."

Shi Yue was troubled:

"I don't have any channels to sell the necklace. It's worth several million, where would I sell it?"

The person on the other end of the phone replied:

"Leave that to me. Give me the necklace."

Shi Yue said "okay" and hung up the phone with a smug look on her face.

When Liang Yu returned to the company, Fang Ze had just gotten off the plane.

As soon as he turned on his phone, he saw many messages, one of which was a missed call notification from Liang Yu.

He immediately called Liang Yu back.

As soon as Liang Yu answered the phone, he heard Fang Ze say:

"Xiao Yu, I had to fly to Hong Kong for a business trip today. I was resting on the plane when you called me, and I just got off. Is there something you need to talk to me about?"

This was the first time Fang Ze had proactively reported his itinerary to Liang Yu.

This was also the first time that I immediately called Liang Yu back as soon as I saw his missed call notification.

But Liang Yu was unaware of this, and no longer cared about it.

Liang Yu got straight to the point:

"Fang Yao got into a car accident while fighting for a parking space and went to the hospital."

Upon hearing Liang Yu's words, Fang Ze felt an emptiness in his heart, as if something was silently slipping away from him.

Liang Yu didn't offer any words of comfort or concern, nor did he nitpick about trivial matters or ask when he would return.

He simply and concisely recounted Fang Yao's story.

Liang Yu didn't say a single word of what he once considered trivial family matters.

Fang Ze, holding the phone, immediately stopped in his tracks, as if his feet were weighed down by a thousand-pound weight, unable to move an inch.

He was somewhat dazed. This was exactly the call efficiency he had always wanted, and now Liang Yu had achieved it. Why did he feel so empty?

Fang Ze was silent for a few seconds, then squeezed out a sentence with difficulty from his throat:

"And you? Is there anything you need from me?"

Liang Yuhui:

"No, you're busy, I'm hanging up."

Liang Yu hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

Looking at his phone, now locked again, Fang Ze felt a strange sense of helplessness and unfamiliarity.

This sense of unfamiliarity slowly engulfed him, making him feel as if he had never truly been close to Liang Yu.

It was as if a bottomless rift had appeared out of nowhere, inexplicably standing between him and Liang Yu.

He could clearly see Liang Yu right in front of him, but when he reached out his hand to Liang Yu, he found that they were already thousands of miles apart.

He didn't even know when this rift had started.

Fang Ze stood frozen in place for a long time until Dong Xiao reminded him that he would be late if he didn't leave, and only then did he take a step forward.

After getting into the business car that came to pick him up, Fang Ze opened his phone and sent a message to Liang Yu.

[Xiao Yu, I'm going back to Haicheng the day after tomorrow. Will you come home with me?]
