Many days later.
A Ming: "Yun Chen Ge, have an apple."
A Ming: "Yun Chen Ge, drink the pig trotters soup. I asked my wife to boil it for you overnight, it smells amazing."
A Ming: "Yun Chen Ge, do you need to go to the restroom? I'll help you with your pants."
A Ming had accompanied Ou Yun Chen during his week-long hospital stay as if he had been given an opportunity to prove himself, visiting every day.
Ou Yun Chen: "I'm not seriously injured. Don't treat me like I'm disabled."
A Ming: "That won't do. This is a car accident, you need to rest well."
A Ming: "Oh, right. I heard the doctor say that Mrs. Su is in the room next to yours. Apparently, she was also in a car accident! If it weren't for the news saying her driver was drunk and drove the car off the bridge, I would have truly thought you two crashed into each other!"
A Ming was right. Lawyer Ma had sealed off the news of that night. For the Su Corporation, which had just partnered with Scion, any rumor of Mrs. Su being a victim of attempted murder at this time would undoubtedly have a negative impact.
Ou Yun Chen: "How is she?"
A Ming: "I don't know. There are many bodyguards at the door, I can't even see her."
Just then, A Ming's phone rang.
—A Ming on the phone—
A Ming: "What now?"
Apple: "We're out of diapers. When are you coming to buy some?"
A Ming: "I'm at the hospital. You go buy them."
Apple: "It's been a week, A Ming. Are you dead at the hospital? The doctor said Yun Chen Ge is fine, why are you making such a fuss there!"
A Ming: "You don't understand. Yun Chen Ge had a car accident and only told me. This is brotherhood. If my brother is in trouble, shouldn't I, his younger brother, help?"
Apple: "That's because you shamelessly insisted on going to him, and when he said he was in the hospital, you just stuck around!"
A Ming: "This proves that Yun Chen Ge and I have the best relationship!"
Apple: "Fine, you don't care about your wife and kids at home. From now on, you can just live with Yun Chen Ge!"
A Ming: "You..."
—A Ming ends the call—
A Ming looked at Ou Yun Chen sheepishly. Ou Yun Chen knew that A Ming's stocks had risen sharply and he had made a lot of money, largely thanks to Ou Yun Chen's help. That's why A Ming always wanted to repay him.
Ou Yun Chen: "Go back. You've left Apple alone at home for a week. You should go back and spend time with her."
A Ming scratched his head.
Ou Yun Chen: "When I'm discharged, we'll have a good drink."
Only then did A Ming agree to leave. As soon as he was gone, Ou Yun Chen immediately handled his discharge procedures.

Mrs. Su in another ward had also recovered considerably, but she could not yet leave the hospital. Xu Shuming still needed to visit her frequently to have the media write more reports about him being a devoted husband.
Xu Shuming: "Alright, thank you all for your concern. I'd like to spend some time alone with my wife. Please, everyone, you may leave."
Mrs. Su: "Hypocrite!"
Xu Shuming suddenly grabbed Mrs. Su's neck and pressed her tightly onto the hospital bed. He kissed her fiercely, suffocating her.
But Mrs. Su wasn't buying it. She kicked Xu Shuming hard and then slapped him.
Mrs. Su: "You want me dead so badly? Then kill me right here in front of the reporters!"
Xu Shuming: "How could I let you die? Don't you know that the more interaction we have, the more our stock price will rise?"
Mrs. Su: "Heh, if I die, all the shares will be yours. Wouldn't you be even happier then?"
Xu Shuming: "I was just trying to scare you. I want you to obey me and not do anything that makes me unhappy."
Mrs. Su: "Xu Shuming, may you die a terrible death!"
At this moment, the ward door opened from the outside.
Xu Shuming: "Lawyer Ma, you've been spending a lot of time with my wife lately."
Lawyer Ma, feigning calmness, placed the bouquet by the bedside.
Lawyer Ma: "We get along well."
Xu Shuming: "I've always been curious, Lawyer Ma, what kind of cases do you specialize in?"
Lawyer Ma: "Divorce cases. Mr. Xu, if you need my services, I can give you a discount."
Xu Shuming laughed, but his laughter sent a chill through everyone in the room.
Xu Shuming: "What a shame. I'll never need Lawyer Ma's services in this lifetime."
Xu Shuming stood up and kissed Mrs. Su lying on the hospital bed, but she turned her head away in disgust.
Xu Shuming: "Alright, you two chat. I have some business to attend to. I'll visit you again tomorrow, my dear wife."
