Jiao Long looked at him and shook her head. "Give me his schedule." The Head took the paper out and gave her the schedule. Xie Yuansheng was supposed to be taken for many tests. She thought that even if she caught him alone once, she would be able to carry out her deed. So once again she took that paper and went to find him because this was the best chance she had. No one would even make out what happened during transporting Xie Yuansheng from one department to the other and she would easily finish him off.
For the next three hours Jiao Long must have scanned each and every block in the hospital, and see each diagnostic center, but she didn't even get to see a finger of Xie Yuansheng. It was 3:30 PM and she was hungry beyond words. While eating tasteless food in the hospital cafeteria she wondered whether she was actually been fooled. But if that was the case, where was Xie Yuansheng? And why would they fool her? She was only showing goodwill. How would they know her agenda? She shirked those thoughts. So where was Xie Yuansheng? She looked around her and found normal people eating food. She missed two men sitting just ten meters away from her who were keeping a watch on her ever since she had entered the hospital.
Meanwhile in a room just adjacent to the VIP room, Xie Yuansheng was lying peacefully, as Xie Shengjun covered him with a warm blanket. He got up and there was a faint smile on his lips. He combed his brother's hair and said, "Come back soon. I am missing you a lot…" A few minutes later he left the room. "Brother, your wife is just too intelligent. She sent Jiao Long on a bootless errand and now I am going to end her quest." It was 4PM and as he was coming out of the room, he saw Jiao Long walking back towards them looking very tired and exhausted. He looked at her feigning surprise. "Auntie! Have you just come?"
Jiao Long was looking miserable. She was so tired running throughout the hospital to search for Xie Yuansheng that now she was wretched and Xie Shengjun's question annoyed her like crazy but she contained her anger once and said in a weak voice, "No… I was looking for Xie Yuansheng…"
"Oh! He was here for half an hour just now. I think they have taken him again for tests," said Xie Shengjun. "But you look tired. You should come tomorrow to meet him. Should I take you home?"
Jiao Long nodded and said, "Okay…"
Xie Shengjun smiled at her and drove her to her house.
Xie Yuansheng was shifted back in his room and by the time Feng Xinying arrived, everything was just the same. The security reported her the entire day's events and Feng Xinying only smiled.
When Jiao Long reached her home, she faced the wrath of Shu Jing Min for not being able to carry out the task. She was so tired that she didn't even reply to him and straight away went to her room to rest. Where the hell did Xie Yuansheng go?
She thought that the next day she would carry out the task but the next day, she wasn't allowed to enter his room. She just couldn't do anything and all and they all ended up wasting another three days. The authorities were closing in on them and the shipping business was on the verge of closure. They now had no resort but to once again reconsider Feng Xinying's offer. There was not a single person now who could help them, they had run out of ideas to break Feng Xinying and they were tired.
On the fourth day, Shu Jing Min and Jiao Long visited Feng Xinying in her office. They were made to wait for an hour before Feng Xinying met them only because she wanted to and not because she was busy. When they entered the office, Feng Xinying got up from the chair to greet them with a huge grin on her face. They hated to see her shining with happiness while they were dying of misery but they too smiled at her. Feng Xinying greeted them warmly. "How can I help you today Uncle?" she asked as she hugged her aunt.
Shu Jing Min sat on the sofa along with Jiao Long and said, "We have come for you to reconsider the business proposal. You must give us some security deposit at least."
Feng Xinying looked at how shamelessly he was asking for a security deposit on a business that he snatched from her father's hand. She sighed and shook her head. She said, "Uncle, after all I am also a business woman. I have weighed all my pros and cons and I can only offer you that you give the business to me for a few months. I will give it back to you once everything comes back to normal."
Shu Jing Min was in no mood to lengthen this issue any further. He had tried repeatedly but to no avail. Finally, he agreed to Feng Xinying's proposal. "Okay, let's go with it…" he said.
Feng Xinying immediately called her lawyer and some more concerned employees and the company's takeover was initiated. Shu Jing Min ended up signing on multiple documents. He was surprised that she had already prepared all the documents in advance.
At the end of the day, Feng Xinying owned the shipping company that was her father's originally.
Shu Jing Min and Jiao Long went back home like ultimate losers.
Feng Xinying went back to the hospital, which was now her home and shared everything with Xie Yuansheng. "Am I doing good?" she asked.
There was no answer… She slept next to him.
It was now time for the next strike.

Shu Ning was sitting in the cafeteria along with her boyfriend joking around with her friends when all of a sudden her boyfriend's phone beeped. There was a message that a huge music label selected him for audition. He was stunned. He shared the news with Shu Ning and his friends. At first they thought it was a farce, but when the company confirmed, he was jumping with joy!
