Supernatural Insight Eyes-Chapter 57 Cold War

57: Cold War

57: Cold War

Zhongshan City Hospital.

Sophisticated nursing ward.

Three women had been surrounding Ye Qiu for two days, but Ye Qiu had not yet awakened.

Fortunately, the chief physician had assured them that Ye Qiu was not in serious danger, which completely relieved them.

Shen Mengchen had intended to hire a caregiver to look after Ye Qiu’s daily life, but was stopped by Ye Zi, who insisted on taking care of Ye Qiu herself.

Unable to overcome Ye Zi’s determination, Shen Mengchen had to give up.

Shangguan Hong had been receiving mysterious phone calls these past days.

After each call, her mood turned sour, but she still stayed in the ward waiting for Ye Qiu to wake up.

The main reason Ye Qiu had not awakened was that the energy in his body was rapidly healing his wounds.

In Ye Qiu’s subconscious, True Qi was slowly recovering and quickly mending his wounds, his vitality silently growing stronger.

In fact, it wasn’t that Ye Qiu did not want to awaken, but the series of fierce battles had left him extremely exhausted.

The excessive consumption of True Qi had forced him to need time for recovery.

Especially at the last moment, he had used his X-ray vision to deliver a fatal blow to the gun-wielding assassin.

By that point, he had already been at the end of his strength.

If not for that final burst, he might have been more seriously injured, or even shot in the head by his opponent.

What Ye Qiu did not know was that the gun-wielding assassin and the leader he had eliminated were actually powerful partners.

They were emerging talents in the world of assassins, and while not extremely famous, they were fierce like tigers descending a mountain.

Unfortunately for them, they were complacent, which allowed Ye Qiu to take them down.

If the leading man had not resorted to threats against Ye Qiu, but had struck normally, Ye Qiu could very well have been killed by the two of them working together.

After all, based on the gun-wielder’s skill in concealing his presence, Ye Qiu had not even noticed him, which certainly made him a formidable figure.

It was a pity that he was ultimately exposed under the X-ray vision and fatally hit by Ye Qiu.

After resolving all crises, Ye Qiu had forced himself to return to the villa area.

Only after seeing Ye Zi eliminate several assassins did he completely let go of his worries and fell into a coma again.

Inside Ye Qiu’s body, it was like a damaged clay pot was being repaired with fresh clay to fill the cracks, re-fired to restore it to wholeness.

True Qi spread from the Dantian throughout his limbs and bones, the powerful energy slowly washing away all wounds.

If a doctor had checked on Ye Qiu’s body at that time, they would have been astonished to find that his wounds were healing at an incredibly fast rate.

Of course, even though the physical injuries on Ye Qiu’s body were nearly fully recovered, he had suffered damage to his vitality, which was also why he had not awakened for so long.

True Qi is just a kind of advanced energy, whereas vitality is the basis of life.

The blood Ye Qiu had lost was based on vitality, so what he was mainly doing in his coma was recovering his vitality.

During the period of Ye Qiu’s coma, Lin Qiao’er had also visited once.

Lin Qiao’er was slightly taken aback to see the three women guarding Ye Qiu.

Seeing Ye Qiu motionless on the hospital bed, she placed the fruit she had bought beside the bed and then left.

In the moment before she left, she gave Ye Zi a special look.

This woman, who had once made her feel as if she had fallen into a glacier, had left a deep impression on her.

Thinking that she might have been knocked unconscious by Ye Zi, Lin Qiao’er felt an urge to settle the score, but seeing that Ye Zi’s entire mind was focused on Ye Qiu, she thought better of it and decided to let it go.

After Lin Qiao’er left, Shen Mengchen scoffed, quietly cursing Ye Qiu for being a Casanova.

One man had fallen into a coma, yet four or five beauties had come to visit him.

…

The chief of Zhongshan City had invited the chairmen of Rongda and Longjia together.

If Zhongshan City continued to be troubled, it wouldn’t be easy for him as the chief to get promoted again.

The chairmen of the two large corporations met without a word.

Shen Tianlong was seething with anger, and Ge Yusheng also had a dark expression on his face; his Rongda Group had lost at least tens of millions over the past two days.

In front of the chief, both expressed their attitudes.

Shen Tianlong was not willing to let things go, and Ge Yusheng completely denied sending assassins to kill Shen Tianlong, causing the chief a great headache.

Originally, the chief was rather partial to Shen Tianlong, for after all, Ge Yusheng’s despicable tactics disgusted him.

However, he was unable to convict Ge Yusheng.

Firstly, there was no concrete evidence to prove that the assassins sent to kill Shen Tianlong were sent by Ge Yusheng, and Ge Yusheng was not foolish enough to openly admit to such a serious matter.

Secondly, Ge Yusheng holds American citizenship, not a Huaxia citizen, therefore even if we were to sentence him, we would not have that right.

It should be left to the American side to adjudicate, which is a rather troublesome issue.

Thirdly, all the major events of Zhongshan City are converging.

A massive influx of assassins had occurred before, and suddenly yesterday, an assassination of important figures in Zhongshan by a large number of assassins took place.

If such matters were reported higher up, they would be blamed on him, leaving an indelible stain on his political career.

Fourthly, Ge Yusheng controls the Rongda Group, which is one of Zhongshan’s main taxation entities and a pillar of its economy.

Rongda has many subsidiary companies; if its chairman were to be detained, Rongda would definitely collapse and disintegrate.

Hence, the city’s economy would surely face even greater turmoil.

Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, he did not directly detain Ge Yusheng, but instead invited both parties over, hoping to reach a settlement agreement.

The Bureau Chief personally mediated, and though Shen Tianlong was obliged to give face, Ge Yusheng pretended to be innocent.

Half an hour later, the two left the Bureau Chief’s office.

Nobody knew what they had talked about, but after Shen Tianlong returned and retracted some news, people realized that the business conflict seemed unviable.

Several business tycoons watching from the sidelines discerned the situation and knew that both sides looked set to stop the fight.

But everyone knew that the fight wouldn’t completely vanish; it was merely paused for the time being.

Although the mutually destructive business skirmish was forcibly halted, a cold war silently began to spread.

Shen Tianlong gave face to the Bureau Chief, but he had no intention of letting it go at that.

Ye Qiu had almost lost his life for him, and his daughter was also nearly killed by an assassin; this matter could not just be dropped.

A tense cold war, akin to ice and snow, was initiated by Longjia.

Two days later, Ye Qiu woke up.

This news made several women show joy,

even Shen Tianlong put aside all his work to visit Ye Qiu upon hearing it.

Ye Qiu’s complexion was somewhat pale, as he had not yet fully recovered from the blood loss, but his wound was healing quite fast.

Even the doctors were astonished at his extraordinary recovery ability.

“Ye Qiu, you’re finally awake.

Everyone’s been worried about you, staying here all this time.

Now that you’re awake, we can finally get some good sleep,” Shen Mengchen complained as soon as Ye Qiu opened his eyes.

Ye Zi gave Shen Mengchen a cold glance, causing her to shiver.

Though she felt a chill run through her body, her stubborn head remained raised, unwilling to bow.

“You’re all here,” Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise, realizing that not only Ye Zi and Shen Mengchen were present, but Shangguan Hong and Niu Yinyin were also there.

“Big Brother Ye Qiu, you’re finally awake.

The three beautiful sisters have been really worried about you,” Niu Yinyin said innocently.

Her words instantly caused the three women’s faces to change.

“Yinyin, don’t talk nonsense,” Shangguan Hong pinched Niu Yinyin hard.

Shen Mengchen’s face also turned red as she glared at Niu Yinyin.

…

…

Just as the atmosphere turned somewhat awkward, someone knocked on the room door.

“Perhaps it’s Uncle Shen, I’ll go open it,” Niu Yinyin said hastily.

The young girl briskly opened the door, only to freeze with a smile on her face, as the person entering was a stranger with a peculiar attire, somewhat resembling ancient clothes but with a modern twist.

At the same time, the unfamiliar man who entered, upon facing everyone, immediately fixed his gaze on Shangguan Hong’s face, revealing a trace of a smile, and said, “So you’re here.”

“Is this person the reason you’ve been delaying your return?”

Suddenly, Ye Qiu felt the man’s eyes pierce him like knives.

As their gazes collided, Ye Qiu frowned slightly, sensing that the man had ill intentions.

Shangguan Hong, on the other hand, showed a flicker of panic, a detail that Ye Qiu caught.

He was secretly alarmed; just who was this person who could make the usually calm and mature Shangguan Hong display such an expression?
