Chapter 731: A Small Punishment

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

When Lu Si received the news and rushed to the hospital, it was already eight in the evening.

Mei Feng followed him upstairs in a hurry. They asked the nurse for Mei Shu’s ward and rushed over, both sweating profusely.

As they entered the room, they saw Mei Shu lying on the bed with her left leg suspended.

“Sis! Who hit you? Have they caught the culprit?” Mei Feng anxiously rushed to her side, looking at her already casted left leg with concern.

Mei Shu shook her head. “The police are investigating. Look at both of you, sweating so much. You’ll catch a cold if you don’t cool down. Wipe off your sweat first.”

She pulled out a tissue from the bedside table and handed it to Mei Feng. Mei Feng took it and wiped off the sweat haphazardly, panting, “Damn it, who’s so blind to drive like that?”

Mei Shu said, “Alright, this is the hospital. Don’t make a scene. Be careful not to get complained about.”

After speaking, she lifted the blanket and patted the empty space beside her. “Sit here and rest for a while. I’ve hired a nurse, and she went to buy food. I knew you two would come, so I gotyour portions too.”

Lu Si furrowed his brows. “I should have Jiang He bring over the prepared meals. You need to eat something good to replenish your body after being injured.”

Mei Shu smiled helplessly. “I’m really fine. It’s just a fracture. The doctor said it’ll heal with some rest. No need to make such a fuss.”

“A fracture is considered fine?” Mei Feng truly admired her sister now.

However, Lu Si sensed something unusual from her smiling face.

He sat by the bedside, cutting fruit for her, and said, “Xiao Feng, go ask the doctor how often your sister needs to change the bandage on her leg and what oral medication she needs. Write down everything carefully, you mustn’t make any mistakes. I don’t trust these things to just any nurse.”

“Okay, I’ll go now.” When it came to matters related to Mei Shu, Mei Feng was more concerned than anyone else.

Even though he was still catching his breath, he got up without hesitation for Mei Shu’s sake.

After they were alone in the room, Lu Si packed the cut fruits into a box and handed it to her. “Do you know who did this?”

Mei Shu paused for a moment, took a bite of the fruit, and smiled, “You really can’t hide anything from me. I thought I acted quite well!”

Lu Si scolded her with a glare. “What kind of schemes do you have that I can’t know about?”

Mei Shu thought for a moment and said, “Well, sometimes I think maybe I need to maintain a bit of mystery to keep you curious about me, so you’ll never stop loving me and won’t turn to love someone else.”

Lu Si didn’t buy into her words and, with a hint of annoyance, pinched her chin. “Don’t change the subject. Is it related to me or not?”

Mei Shu bit his lip and said, “No.”

“Really?” Lu Si narrowed his eyes in disbelief, not missing any emotions in her eyes. “You better not lie to me.”

Mei Shu said, “I’m not lying to you. Sometimes, maybe someone just doesn’t like me, or maybe someone was paid to teach me a lesson. You know, I’m usually quite arrogant, so it’s not surprising if I’ve offended someone.”

“But there aren’t many who dare to openly hurt you.”

Lu Si gritted his teeth. “Shu’er, I’ll ask you one last time. Do you know who the motorcycle rider was and who sent him? If you don’t tell me now, after I find out by myself, I’ll definitely punish you properly.”

“How do you want to punish me?” Mei Shu had just said this when Lu Si’s head suddenly came close, the two of them inches apart, the implication clear.

Mei Shu bit his lip on his lip, laughing, “That’s not punishment. You’re so good-looking, it should be called a reward.”

Lu Si took a deep breath, angrily grinding his lips against hers. When she was gasping for breath, he reluctantly let her go, his voice already hoarse and dry, “Shu’er, is it someone from the Lu family…”

“No!” Mei Shu denied it swiftly this time, without any hesitation.

This made Lu Si’s eyes flicker with doubt. “Really not?”

Mei Shu patted his handsome face, smiling comfortingly, “When have I ever lied to you? I said it’s not, so it’s definitely not.”

Lu Si’s guilty conscience was slightly eased. “Then why don’t you directly tell me who the rider was?”

Mei Shu blinked innocently, her eyes clear as water. “Because I really don’t know. After the accident, I was brought to the hospital by kind passersby, and then I let the doctor treat my wound and put on a cast. How could I have time to investigate this matter?”

Hearing her explanation, Lu Si finally began to believe her a little. “Alright, I’ll have Jiang He cooperate with the police to investigate. But if you find out anything before I do, you mustn’t hide it from me.”

Mei Shu agreed with a smile, but her other hand quietly pushed the phone under the pillow.

What Lu Si didn’t notice was that the screen of the lit-up phone displayed the last line of the report letter.

Above it was the name of the informant: Ruan Dong.
