"I can tell." Ling Yao calmly replied.

Whether she had a purpose or not, or his feelings.

As smart as he was, as rational as he was, how could he not be clear?

Hai Xiaoming opened her mouth, not knowing how to continue the topic. He said that he could clearly distinguish between them, so how could it be considered as an explanation for her?

Then should she get rid of Scar or not?

Hai Xiao Min was vexed, but suddenly, Ling Yao threw out another sentence. It was as if thunder had struck the ground, shocking her to the point that her limbs and bones flowed through the numbing electric current.

"Hai Xiaomin, come sleep tonight." He invited her in such a straightforward manner. Her low and hoarse voice was like the tail of a cat, causing one's heart to itch.

"No way!" Hai Xiao Min suppressed the throbbing in her heart and rejected him immediately.

"Is there a problem?" Ling Yao raised his eyebrows and stretched his neck as he examined the side of her face. He just wanted her to find another place to sleep. Why not?

"Of course!" Hai Xiao Min took a deep breath and gathered her courage, "This is the ward, the place to recuperate!"

Ling Yao was baffled: "What does this have to do with me hugging you while you sleep?"

"..." Just that, a pure sleep? " Hai Xiao Min vaguely understood the main point.

The man's sexy thin lips curled up as he coldly said, "What else do you think?"

Hai Xiao Min closed her eyes in shame, trying to find a hole to hide in.

That shouldn't be!

How could a big BOSS be purer than she was?

Just as he was thinking, he saw Ling Yao sweep his eyes at the sickbed with disdain, and calmly add, "How can such a small bed be enough for us to display our abilities!"

Hai Xiao Min: "..."

After Hai Xiaomin left, the beautiful curve on the corner of Ling Yao's lips gradually disappeared.

The temperature and pressure in the room dropped.

He dialed a number and said, "Zegna, come back right away!"

Zegna didn't go far. There were basically no special missions. He would stay wherever Ling Yao was. In less than five minutes, he returned to this ward without attracting any attention from others.

He stayed in Ling Yao's room for the better part of the day, reporting about the matters he had taken over the past few days. As for the other things, Ling Yao could find out through other channels, so there was no need for him to worry.

In the evening, Ling Yao switched on a video call.

Through the video projector, a few scenes of different backgrounds appeared in the ward. There were both men and women on the screen, and most of them were western faces. They were all middle-aged and elderly.

"Joe!" Long time no see! "

"Child, you're still so handsome and charming!"

"…"

As they faced each other, that kind of face first sized up Ling Yao without any change in expression, then changed to a friendly and friendly smile, greeting each other in pure and fluent English.

Just from the surface, he did not seem to have suffered any major injuries. Even though he had shed the suit that was usually cold and hard in color, he still exuded the aura of an overlord, causing people to sigh and subconsciously retract their little hearts.

"Spare me the usual pleasantries. My time is limited, let's get straight to the point." Ling Yao did not give any face to these people, sitting on a palm-colored leather sofa with his long legs crossed. With his arms crossed over his chest and his upper body thrown back, he swept across everyone with a cold and proud attitude, "I heard that you were looking for me?"

"Ha!" We heard that something happened to you and we were all worried about you. Now that we see that you're fine and that your complexion is good, we can finally relax. " One of the bald, fat man laughed and said.

"Yes, yes, that's right …" The others all echoed his sentiments, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

The only woman in the video was a westerner. She looked to be in her fifties or sixties. Her golden hair was a bit gray, and it was neatly combed back. The wrinkles left on her face were very obvious, showing how beautiful she was when she was young.

However, the moment she opened her mouth, her tone wasn't as appropriate anymore. It was obvious that she was reprimanding her elders: "Seriously, you secretly ran to China by yourself and didn't even tell us what happened. Why did you disappear for such a long time!"

Ling Yao's cold gaze suddenly locked onto her in the video. Through the video, the woman could feel the coldness that made his entire body shiver.

"You, why are you looking at me like that for? Is there something wrong with what I said? As shareholders of the company, shouldn't we have the right to know where you are? " She felt somewhat guilty, but she absolutely could not let the other party see it. Thus, she clenched her fists and pretended to be calm. She believed that the others present would also stand by her side.

"That's right, Qiao Qiao, have you thought that your decision was too reckless? You didn't even say goodbye before leaving, causing us to look for someone. Just like this time, if something really happens to you and you don't return, what should we do?" Another person followed up.

Ling Yaoqing smiled coldly, "So, you sent people to China to secretly follow me?"

"This …" Everyone fell silent at the same time. Ling Yao did not make a sound either. He just waited, waiting for someone to give an explanation.

"We did it for your own good, mainly because your trip to China was too secretive. It's still that old saying, we need to know about it."

He kept saying that he was doing this for his own good, because he wanted to monitor his every move so that he could take control of them. This group of insatiable old fogeys!

"Based on what you said, for the benefit of all the shareholders, I will have to send some people to spy on you. Hmm, like you said, everyone needs the right to know." Ling Yao shrugged his shoulders as he spoke in a rather hedonistic manner.

"…" The people in the video all had an awkward expression on their faces. Obviously, no one wanted to be targeted.

They could continue to argue, but first, they had to understand that it was not good for them to lose decorum. Until they could think of a better way, maintaining the status quo was their best option.

You want to know if I'm all right? Now that you've seen me, be happy and regretful, you can temporarily put your hearts back in your stomachs and let me make you worry about me. I feel very honored, but I'm a bit tired today. The camera on Ling Yao's side snapped.

The video call continued without a lead character.

"Damn it, this son of the devil is as loathsome as ever!" The lady's sharp, low curse.

"Come on, Lena, calm down. It's not like he has a temper for a day or two, and you're still fighting him. You're tormenting yourself." someone advised.

"But his wings are getting harder and harder to control, aren't they?" The woman said angrily.

"Didn't we already expect this?" Some people bitterly smiled and shook their heads. They didn't seem to care too much about it.
