Upon seeing the message, Liang Yu immediately replied to Yan Qi.

[Yan Qi, the van I was in was hit, but I wasn't seriously injured. I've been bandaged up and am in the hospital now.]

Yan Qi replied instantly.

Which hospital?

Liang Yu sent Yan Qi his location and then replied with a message.

I'm in this hospital; it's a sanatorium.

Yan Qi replied instantly.

I happen to be nearby, shall I pick you up?

Liang Yu returned.

Okay, I was just thinking of going back to the hotel.

Yan Qi replied instantly.

See you at the hospital entrance in two minutes.

Liang Yu returned.

I want to check on my companion's injuries first, and then go back to the hotel.

Yan Qi replied instantly.

Okay, I'll wait for you in the hospital parking lot.

Liang Yu returned.

Okay, see you in a bit.

Liang Yu put away his phone and walked towards Geng Shi's ward.

She gently pushed open the ward door. The ward was quiet, with only the regular "beep" sound of the electrocardiogram monitor.

Soft sunlight streamed through the blinds, falling on the hospital bed and leaving many light spots on Geng Shi's body.

Geng Shi was resting with his eyes closed, a bandage wrapped around his right abdomen, and his brows furrowed slightly, looking like he was in some pain.

Geng Shi sat in the passenger seat; his injuries were more severe than Liang Yu's, with some minor fractures in his ribs.

He heard the door open and immediately opened his eyes to look at the doorway of the ward.

After recognizing Liang Yu as the visitor, he exclaimed, "Young Miss, what brings you here?"

She hurriedly struggled to get up to greet Liang Yu, but was immediately stopped by a piercing abdominal pain. She could only raise her hand to cover her abdomen, her brows furrowed and unable to move.

Liang Yu immediately reached out to stop him, saying:

"Don't move, lie still."

Liang Yu walked lightly to the bedside, pulled up a chair, sat down, and continued:

"I heard from the doctor that you have a fracture in your ribs. You need to rest in bed and avoid moving around."

Geng Shi took a breath, the sharp pain subsiding, and his gaze fell on the gauze on Liang Yu's forehead. He asked with concern:

"Young Miss, your head...?"

Liang Yu smiled gently and replied softly:

"I'm fine, it's just a superficial injury."

Then, with a serious expression, he asked:

"Assistant Geng, those SUVs that surrounded us today, were they targeting me? I wonder who's behind it all, and why they're targeting me?"

Actually, Liang Yu asked Geng Shi that question on purpose.

After she calmed down, the first person she guessed was Cao Lan.

Because only Cao Lan had a motive to deal with her.

She has a simple social circle, few people know her identity, and she has never offended anyone.

But she couldn't directly tell Geng Shi her suspicions.

Only the truth that Geng Shi uncovers himself is convincing.

After hearing Liang Yu's words, Geng Shi replied with a serious expression:

"Miss, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. Rest assured, whatever the outcome, I will report it truthfully to President Liang and give you a satisfactory explanation."

Geng Shi's words actually revealed his own speculations to Liang Yu.

Cao Lan has been using different methods to deal with Liang Yu one after another recently, making it hard not to suspect that Cao Lan is not the mastermind behind today's SUV blockade incident.

Liang Yu listened to Geng Shi's words, smiled slightly, nodded, and replied:

"Okay, Assistant Geng, I trust you."

Geng Shi then added:

"Miss, I'm afraid I can't process the villa transfer for you today. Can I arrange for someone else who's capable to handle it for you?"

Liang Yu nodded and replied:

"Of course, what do I need to do during the transfer of ownership?"

Geng Shi replied truthfully;

"Mr. Liang instructed that the sale and transfer of ownership with you would facilitate your future resale. All taxes and fees will be deducted directly from Mr. Liang's account, and you will not need to bear any costs."

"All you need to do is sign a few contracts."

Liang Yu replied:

"Okay, I'll go back to the hotel in a bit. Just have someone bring the contract to the hotel to find me."

Geng Shi said:

"Yes, Miss, I'll arrange for a driver to take you back to your hotel now."

Liang Yu refused:

"No need, I have a friend here who can take me to the hotel. You should get some rest."

Geng Shi didn't insist and nodded in reply:

"Okay, once the villa transfer is completed, I will send you all the relevant documents by express mail."

Liang Yu said "okay," and then told Geng Shi to rest well before leaving the ward and heading towards the hospital parking lot.

The midday sun is gentle and not scorching, and a light breeze brings a refreshing coolness.

The open-air parking lot is planted with many camphor trees. Their lush canopies spread out layers of green shade, cutting the sunlight into fine dappled spots that fall on the stone-paved ground.

Not far from the pedestrian entrance to the parking lot, there was a silver-gray Aston Martin parked.

Yan Qi sat quietly in the driver's seat, his slender fingers resting lightly on the steering wheel, his gaze fixed on the pedestrian entrance of the parking lot.

Half an hour later, Yan Qi finally caught a glimpse of Liang Yu approaching.

The instant he saw Liang Yu walking normally, a very faint light flashed across his eyes, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yan Qi pushed open the driver's side door with a calm and unhurried movement, took a long stride, and landed steadily on the ground.

The black shirt was well-tailored, and as he stood up, the hem swayed gently, outlining a smooth waistline.

Yan Qi walked straight to the passenger door, opened it, and fixed his gaze on Liang Yu's approaching figure, a barely perceptible smile playing on his lips.

Liang Yu walked up to Yan Qi with a smile on her face and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

Her tone was relaxed and casual, completely unconcerned about what kind of car Yan Qi was driving.

Yan Qi's gaze fell on the gauze on Liang Yu's forehead, his eyes darkened, and he asked in a low voice:

"Where are you hurt?"

Liang Yu smiled and replied in a casual tone:

"They're all superficial injuries. I bumped my forehead on the door frame, broke the skin, but it's nothing serious."

Yan Qi gave a very soft "hmm," raised his hand to block the top of the screen, and said:

"Get in the car, I'll take you back to your hotel."

The Aston Martin slowly drove out of the parking lot, the shadows of green plants swaying gently across the car window.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Liang Yu couldn't help but frown and rub the spot on his shoulder where the seatbelt was digging in.

Previously, due to the violent impact of the car accident, his shoulder had been bruised by the seat belt.

Now, as I fasten my seatbelt again, my shoulder is aching terribly.

Her subtle gesture of raising her hand was instantly caught by Yan Qi's peripheral vision. Yan Qi glanced at Liang Yu and whispered:

"No need to wear a seatbelt, I'll drive slowly."

Liang Yu's shoulder was in pain from the seatbelt, and she had long since stopped wanting to wear it.

Upon hearing Yan Qi's words, he immediately unbuckled his seatbelt, rubbed his shoulders, and jokingly asked:

"If I don't wear a seatbelt, will I get a ticket from the police?"

Yan Qi stared straight ahead, his voice cold and indifferent as he asked:

"Do you want to continue feeling pain?"

Liang Yu gave an awkward laugh and replied decisively:

"Then let's just impose a fine."

After a two-second pause, he immediately gave the order:

"Then take the back road, stay far away from cameras and police."

Yan Qi gave a very faint chuckle and said, "Okay."

Liang Yu's gaze casually fell on the street scene outside the window, a faint smile playing on her lips. After a moment, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked at Yan Qi and asked:

"Yan Qi, what are you doing near the sanatorium? Did you rent this car?"

Yan Qi glanced sideways at Liang Yu's wide eyes, hummed in agreement, and explained:

"I happened to be in this area today and heard there was a car accident, so I thought I'd ask about your situation."

After hearing Yan Qi's words, Liang Yu immediately began to confide in Yan Qi:

"Yan Qi, do you know that car accident was most likely targeted at me?"

"I was sitting in my car perfectly fine when suddenly five SUVs came and blocked my way from the front and chased me from the back, trying to force my car into an alley."

"Fortunately, Assistant Geng found another small road. After we went in, we encountered seven or eight off-road vehicles that rescued us. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to see me now."

After saying this, Liang Yu couldn't help but sigh softly, and said with a puzzled look:

"I wonder how those SUVs that rescued us are doing now, and what happened to the people in them? I also wonder why they rescued us?"

Yan Qi glanced at Liang Yu and said calmly, "I can only offer my condolences."

"Don't worry, it was just a car accident, no one was killed."

Liang Yu asked curiously:

"How did you know?"

Yan Qi replied:

"Watch the news."

Of course, Yan Qi wouldn't tell Liang Yu that the people who drove the SUV to rescue her were bodyguards he had sent.

Liang Yu naturally believed Yan Qi's words.

She suddenly realized what was going on.

Indeed, with such a serious car accident, it's impossible for the media not to follow up and report on it.

Liang Yu immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said happily:

"That's good, as long as those who rescued us are alright."

Then he looked at Yan Qi and started joking:

"Yan Qi, your internet speed is really fast!"

Yan Qi parted his thin lips slightly and changed the subject in a low voice:

Do you have any plans for tomorrow?

Liang Yu shook his head and replied:

"I have no plans for tomorrow; I'm going to rest at the hotel."

Yan Qi glanced sideways at Liang Yu and said:

"There's a niche art exhibition tomorrow, do you want to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu hesitated for a moment in silence before replying softly:

"There should be a lot of people at the art exhibition."

Yan Qi replied calmly:

"The art exhibition is by invitation only; you can schedule a time when it's not crowded."

A bright glint flashed in Liang Yu's eyes, and a smile naturally appeared on his lips.

She nodded gently in reply:

"Okay, then let me know when you've arranged a time."
