After knowing everything from her informer and the fact that Yan Ruomin had tried to kill Sheng Ruming, her heart went cold. If Sheng Ruming was to send Yan Ruomin to the police station with the evidence, then her daughter's life would have been over. Luckily he didn't do it.
Then, she knew, only by coming into the Sheng Villa could she do anything. When she saw Luo Lixi first, she knew only this woman could help her. Thus, even though she was distressed and didn't want to attend, she bit the bullet and still came for Yan Ruomin's sake.
Luo Lixi frowned and asked in confusion, "Imprisoned her? Why would he imprison someone?"
'On top of that, it's a lady who is crazy for him…' Luo Lixi didn't forget the matter at the airport and had a deep impression of this woman. But hearing that Sheng Ruming had hidden someone away, she felt restless and unhappy.
'She doesn't know...' Su Mengsi thought and finally replied honestly, her face had already become ugly from the ruined makeup, "Because… She, she has shot him with a gun."
"Shot him…" Luo Lixi heard it and repeated it in her mind with fear, 'Shot him, shot him…'
Su Mengsi didn't notice her unnatural state and continued, "Well, she isn't in her right mind because she is under a lot of stress. Also, you have sent her into prison before... Please tell him to free her. I promise I won't easily let my daughter appear in front of you. Please…"
But Luo Lixi didn't hear anything. An image appeared in her mind. Sheng Ruming was shot and was lying on the ground. She stared at the body which was motionless. In the void of her mind, this scene played again and again.
'He is dead?... Sheng Ruming is dead?' Something triggered in her mind. After watching Sheng Ruming's dead body, she saw her parents' listless bodies, then her grandfather's and lastly of Luo Lixiang's. Her heart clenched into unbearable pain and she felt in this world, there was nobody left for her.
All the things in Luo Lixi's vision turned dark but she didn't fall unconscious. Even when Su Mengsi was shaking and yelling at her ears, she didn't give any reaction. Her eyes were gloomy and lifeless.
"Hey, why aren't you saying anything?" Su Mengsi shook her violently but still she remained motionless. Looking at her blank expression, she knew something was wrong. "Why is she…"
Su Mengsi murmured but Luo Lixi was still frozen. When she took away her hands, Luo Lixi fell on the floor with a 'thup'. Su Mengsi was so scared that she jumped up. When she shook Luo Lixi with her hands, her eyes were still hazy.
"Did I do something wrong?!" Su Mengsi panicked and stood up. In fear, she saw Luo Lixi on the ground, motionless. She couldn't stay calm and flew from the scene.
Behind, Luo Lixi stayed on the ground without moving but two streams of hot tears were flowing out nonstop. But the problem was that she didn't move an inch.
…
Around midnight.
All the people who had come from the Long city had gone to their cars. Luo Biwun stared at Sheng Ruming and said, "Well, we should leave now. She doesn't have to come."
Sheng Ruming replied, "Wait a little more. Let Lixi come. Or she will be sad that she didn't bid you all farewell."
"Fine. Let's wait five minutes." Luo Tiankong replied but after waiting for several minutes, there was no sign of Luo Lixi yet.
Sheng Ruming glanced at the door of the villa and frowned, 'It's been ten minutes since I have sent a maid. Why isn't she here yet?'
Luo Minwei and Chen Yuyan exchanged glances. They became displeased because their beauty sleep was ruined in the first place. On top of that, they had been waiting for Luo Lixi yet there was no sign of her.
"She must be busy with the other guests. Don't bother her. It's fine." Chen Yuyan said in her most pleasant voice and tried to be considerate.
In the end Sheng Ruming let them go. As he saw the cars leaving, he turned around and entered the villa. He was frowning slightly and his eyes swept around but didn't find her.
When he went to the garden, other guests were still there but she was still missing. When he turned around, the maid he had sent to bring her to him earlier, slowly walked to him.
Even though her face was laced with fear, and worry, she still held the perfect strict face a maid should have and walked to him.
"Young master, Young Madam, she… something happened to her. Please follow me!" The maid murmured and turned around to leave.
Sheng Ruming's eyes narrowed dangerously, both in fear and concern for his wife, without a second thought he followed her in large steps. In a few moments, they reached Luo Lixi's room. As soon as he entered, his heart dropped.
Aunt Lin was helding Luo Lixi against her and was sprinkling water on her face but her eyes were closed shut. She didn't move and stayed there, motionless.
"Lixi!" Sheng Ruming ran up to her and took her from Aunt Lin's arms. When he patted her face, she didn't move and her face was deadly pale.
"What happened to her?!" Sheng Ruming yelled at the two people in the room. The maid flinched in fear while Aunt Lin bowed her head and said, "We don't know, Young Master. The maid found Young Madam on the floor. She has been like this for some time."
Sheng Ruming didn't waste time arguing with them. He took her in his embrace and rushed out from the back door of the villa. Xiao Huang had tight security around the villa and thus as soon as Sheng Ruming came out, he noticed.
Looking at the unconscious lady, he guessed the matter. Sheng Ruming didn't need to say anything and he came to him with a car. Then, they left the villa from the back entrance and thus nobody noticed them.
When Aunt Lin notified Wei Airan of this, rather than panicking, she handled the situation at hand perfectly and didn't let the guests find out that both stars of tonight's function were missing.
…
Ming city's no.1 hospital.
Feng Shaoling was currently in OR, operating on a patient. Everyone in the room was focused on their work. Everything was going normal when the door of the room suddenly burst open.
But the people inside were unfazed. The doctors were given training on such moments before. Thus, unless the world comes to an end or a nuclear bomb falls on their head, they wouldn't move.
Sheng Ruming entered and saw the scene. He had the urge to rush ahead and grab Feng Shaoling but looking at the patient whose belly was cut open, he didn't move and said instantly in a hoarse and threatening voice, "Five minutes, Feng. Either you give the task to another man or I will drag you out!"
Feng Shaoling took a deep breath to stabilise his startled heart. He worked a bit more and then handovered the task to another doctor.
Then, he turned towards Sheng Ruming angrily and stormed out of the room. When he walked out, he saw the door was surrounded by Xiao Huang and other bodyguards. At one corner, two nurses were shivering with fright!
"Dr. Feng!"
"Senior Feng! Save us!"
The two women cried out. Feng Shaoling turned to him and asked in annoyance, "What is the meaning of this?!"
Sheng Ruming didn't answer and dragged the man away. The group of bodyguards followed him. Feng Shaoling became extremely angry because he was dragged away like a sack of rice. His anger burst out, "What is the meaning of this, Ming?! How did I offend you? It's a hospital. Stop!"
But he still didn't get his answer. Thus, in the next few seconds, Feng Shaoling, the most sought after doctor of Ming city's no.1 hospital was dragged away by an unknown man in front of the masses. But the security didn't take any action because they knew these two people too well.
"Ah… ah!" Feng Shaoling was dragged into the ICU. Curse words were on the tip of his tongue but looking at the lady on the hospital bed, he turned mute. "Luo Lixi? What is she…"
But before he could spoke, Sheng Ruming shouted, "Why have you turned a dumb? Check what's wrong with her and make her well! Or else, you can forget about leaving today in one piece!"
However, in Feng Shaoling's ears, those were nothing. He moved ahead and instructed the nurses. Also, Sheng Ruming told him everything that happened and the man himself knew Luo Lixi's condition.
Thus, Luo Lixi's whole body underwent a bunch of tests. Many needles pierced her pale skin and took away a lot of blood for test purposes. Looking at that scene, Sheng Ruming's heart ached a lot. "These suckers! Are you trying to suck her dry?! She has only a bit of blood yet you are taking blood as if you want to drink it!"
"..." Feng Shaoling.
"..." The nurse who was taking blood from her again.
It was a complete havoc with the doctor and nurse being the patient of his fury.
