When his wicked ex-girlfriend beckoned him, CEO Li lost control!

When Lin Zhixia arrived at the hospital, Li Chengyuan was lying on the hospital bed with a cast on his body and bandages wrapped around his head. Chen Xinghe was watching over him.

"I've already called my sister-in-law, she should be here soon."

"Li Chengyuan!"

Lin Zhixia strode into the ward, glanced at him, and then quickly touched his limbs.

"Your arms and legs are still there, right? You're not disabled, are you?"

Li Chengyuan gave a slight smile: "No."

Chen Xinghe couldn't help but laugh and said, "No, sister-in-law, you're a bit like me when I was a kid. The first thing my grandma would ask me when she came in was whether I still had my arms and legs."

"Ignoring all other issues, I ended up getting a big hole in my head that year."

Lin Zhixia managed a weak smile, her lips trembling. On the way here, she had already imagined countless possibilities.

What if Li Chengyuan becomes disabled? What should she do then? She can't just leave him here and ignore him.

If the Li family finds out, won't they issue a nationwide warrant for her arrest?

Besides, she wouldn't do something so heartless.

Fortunately, Li Chengyuan only suffered some superficial injuries; otherwise, it would have truly been the end of the world for her.

Seeing Li Chengyuan lying there unharmed, Lin Zhixia felt much better.

This was his lifeline; his life was in his hands.

"By the way, Chen Xinghe, haven't you paid yet? I'll go pay now."

"Sister-in-law, because the situation was so urgent just now, and my sister happened to be at this hospital, I asked her to pay for me."

"Sister-in-law, there's something I'm not sure if I should say."

Chen Xinghe looked somewhat embarrassed, but he also felt that Li Chengyuan was his good friend, and he was unhappy to see his good friend working hard all day to earn money but not receiving the treatment he deserved.

As the saying goes, even tired oxen and horses need to eat some grass and rest.

Lin Zhixia raised her eyes: "Go ahead."

"Could we perhaps leave some money for A-Yuan in the future? A man without some money... is indeed a bit..."

"Xinghe, I handed over the money voluntarily. She usually manages all the household expenses. I work outside all day and can't manage the household, so it's good to give the money to her."

Li Chengyuan interrupted Chen Xinghe in time, afraid that what he said would upset Lin Zhixia. He knew Lin Zhixia's personality and knew that she was a person who cared about her image.

She would definitely be unhappy to be said that in front of her friends.

Chen Xinghe had certainly heard that Li Chengyuan's girlfriend had a bad personality and a short temper, acting like a spoiled princess.

But he simply couldn't stand it.

Lin Zhixia was stunned for a moment, then gave Chen Xinghe a meaningful look before curling her lips into a smile.

"I think you're right. I should definitely let him carry more money with him. Men need money for many things when they're out in the world."

Chen Xinghe's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. He turned back in surprise to look at Li Chengyuan, who was just as surprised as he was, but Li Chengyuan's expression was more subtle and not easy to read.

But he knew that Li Chengyuan was also shocked.

No one knew Lin Zhixia's personality better than her.

When did she become so easy to talk to when it comes to money?

But Lin Zhixia surprisingly agreed so readily to give Li Chengyuan money in the future.

Chen Xinghe immediately changed his attitude and smiled at Lin Zhixia.

"I'm sorry, sister-in-law, I..."

"Xiao Lin!" A deep and familiar male voice suddenly rang out from the doorway.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Zhixia's heart sank, as if a huge boulder had crashed into her heart, and a chill instantly spread from her limbs to her bones.

But she quickly pulled herself back to reality and turned to look at the door of the ward, only to find that it was Li Jingchuan.

Chen Xinghe heard a man calling out to Lin Zhixia and hurriedly poked her head out from behind the curtain.

Who is it?

He then turned to Li Chengyuan, who was lying on the hospital bed, and said...

"Ah Yuan, the guy looking for your wife is quite handsome, and judging from his clothes, he should be very rich."

Upon hearing that he was very rich, Li Chengyuan immediately thought of the first time Lin Zhixia was brought back by a man who drove a Bentley.

He was just about to lift the curtain to see what the man looked like when Lin Zhixia suddenly pressed him down on the bed. The force was a bit too much, and Li Chengyuan groaned in pain.

Lin Zhixia realized that she seemed a bit abrupt and quickly apologized to Li Chengyuan.

"Excuse me! Um... my boss is looking for me. Please lie down and don't move around. I'm going out for a bit."

Li Chengyuan frowned but didn't say anything.

Lin Zhixia walked out from inside and quickly headed outside, grabbing Li Jingchuan's wrist and leading him to the emergency exit.

Li Jingchuan's gaze fell on Lin Zhixia's wrist, which was gripping his wrist, and he looked somewhat puzzled.

Only after Lin Zhixia confirmed that the location was relatively safe did she release Li Jingchuan.

"Um... I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I was rude just now."

Li Jingchuan disregarded everything else and went straight to the point, asking Lin Zhixia.

"You know A-Yuan, right? Tell me, where is A-Yuan now!"

Lin Zhixia hadn't recovered from the close call when Li Jingchuan suddenly dropped this bombshell on her.

She froze, her heart pounding, and swallowed hard, cracking her knuckles.

"I……"

Li Jingchuan was somewhat agitated. He gripped Lin Zhixia's shoulders with both hands and asked urgently.

Tell me, where is Ayuan?

Lin Zhixia's heart was pounding like a drum, and her mind suddenly felt like a complete mess, but her survival instinct told her she had to get going.

She tried to calm herself down, otherwise this would be her final destination.

Moreover, it cannot be delayed for too long. If it is delayed for too long and Li Chengyuan comes out, the consequences will be unimaginable when the two brothers meet.

She didn't even need to make excuses anymore.

Lin Zhixia took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, and turned to ask Li Jingchuan.

"Mr. Li, what do you mean by asking me this?"

Li Jingchuan narrowed his long eyes slightly: "I already know about your relationship with A Yuan. You two didn't get along well before, but you still know each other."

"We've been looking for him for so long, and we've tried everything we could think of. I'm not here today to interrogate you; I just want to know where A-Yuan is."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhixia's tightly clenched fingers relaxed for a moment.

It turns out that Li Jingchuan didn't fully know Li Chengyuan's whereabouts, meaning he hadn't been exposed yet.

However, Li Jingchuan must have realized her identity.

She gave an awkward laugh: "Mr. Li, I really don't know where your brother is now. We have no personal connection. I'm sorry, I can't provide you with any clues. My boyfriend is still inside and needs someone to take care of him, so I probably have to go now."

Lin Zhixia nodded apologetically to Li Jingchuan.

She took two steps forward, then stopped and turned to Li Jingchuan.

"President Li, I had my reasons for concealing my identity before. If your Li family minds, I can resign and return the money I received in advance."

Xu Yanzhou gave her some money last time, so it should be enough.

Li Jingchuan does need to consider this point, since Lin Zhixia concealing her past is a major taboo for childcare workers, let alone families like theirs.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, submit your resignation. You don't need to come in tomorrow. Deduct the number of days you worked this month, and the rest of the money will be transferred to your account."

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Lin Zhixia nodded slightly, but she only had enough money to last for one or two months.

She slumped her shoulders helplessly; the original owner had dug too big a hole for her.

Li Jingchuan was about to leave, but the thought of Li Chengyuan made him reluctant, so he turned to Lin Zhixia and said...

"Kobayashi, do you really have no idea where A-Yuan is? We're really worried."

Lin Zhixia noticed the anxiety in Li Jingchuan's eyes. During her time at the Li family home, she also saw Li Jingchuan frequently making phone calls from his study to inquire about Li Chengyuan's whereabouts.

She felt like a sinner. Li Chengyuan was clearly inside, but she had to continue to hide it against her conscience. Sometimes she had nightmares at night, dreaming that Li Chengyuan knew the truth and was grabbing her by the neck, questioning her sternly.

The images were listed one by one, like charges of crimes, making it impossible for her to face them.

"President Li, actually Li Chengyuan, he..."
