Chapter 398: Chapter 398: Let Him Recover Properly

He Xing’s eyelids fluttered slightly. It was a very bland look, yet it made Liang Tao’s complexion drastically change, and he hurriedly turned his head away, not daring to look at He Xing any longer.

Only then did He Xing’s voice, cold and devoid of any warmth, begin to sound, "Ji Liangchuan is definitely with Fu Han right now. If I speak to him, wouldn’t that be the same as telling Xiaohan?"

Liang Tao endured, but still couldn’t help whispering softly, "Chairman He, although Mr. Ji has gone to M Country, it’s not certain that he’s with Miss Fu Han."

In fact, Liang Tao already regretted his words before he finished speaking, but once spoken, words cannot be taken back.

To his great relief, He Xing merely turned a colder countenance and did not say much, only giving Liang Tao a chilly glance.

Despite just a frigid look, Liang Tao still felt the sensation of sitting on pins and needles, clearly feeling cold sweat forming on the back of his head, and when the chill wind blew, an additional layer of cold sweat emerged on his back.

A few seconds later, Liang Tao’s phone began ringing, sounding especially jarring in the quiet ward.

Startled, he fumbled with his phone while watching He Xing’s reaction. The other party said indifferently, "Go out to answer the call."

Liang Tao, as if granted an amnesty, walked towards the outside. When he reached the door, he couldn’t resist looking back at He Xing, who had already closed his eyes. Even just a profile view was still impeccable, a perfect visage that the hands of even the most skilled artist could not carve.

Only now, that face was somewhat pale, with lips a very light shade of red, like the pistil of a pear blossom.

Liang Tao couldn’t help but sigh to himself. After all, He Xing had hovered at Ghost Gate for five hours, and it had only been twelve hours since he came out of the Operating Room. The fact that he wasn’t displaying an extremely weakened state was already quite fortunate.

The phone’s vibration grew increasingly intense. Liang Tao quickened his pace and ran out, not pressing the answer button until he reached the end of the corridor.

A few minutes later, he hung up the phone with a heavy look on his face. Just as he was about to turn back to the ward, he saw the old Mr. He standing about five steps away from him, with Old Zhou ghost-like behind him.

Liang Tao jumped with fright, but quickly greeted them, "Chairman, you... you’re here. Why... why did you come so early today?"

Old Mr. He scrutinized Liang Tao from head to toe and instead of answering, he asked, "What were you just saying on the phone?"

"Saying..." Strangely enough, though Mr. He had not been involved in the affairs of Huangpu Group for many years, every time Liang Tao saw Mr. He, he felt as nervous as a student facing a head teacher, so nervous that he could hardly speak clearly.

The empty corridor was deserted, and a cold breeze blew down from the high skylight, causing Liang Tao to shiver uncontrollably.

Realizing he had yet to answer Mr. He’s question, he hurriedly said, "Chairman, I just received a call from the Public Relations Department, saying... saying that the Group’s bid failed today, and it was intercepted by Huangpu Group."

"That three billion project?" Mr. He’s eyelids moved slightly. His face remained expressionless as he looked at Liang Tao up and down: "Are you planning to tell He Xing this news?"

"Yes..." Liang Tao paused, then cautiously asked, "Chairman, do you think I shouldn’t tell Chairman He?"

"Of course not," Old Zhou interjected, his face dark as he looked at Liang Tao. "Don’t you know the young master’s condition? The doctor said he is very weak now and must get some proper rest. If he finds out about this, do you think he can still lie down and rest like he is now?"

"Then... what about the project?" Liang Tao anxiously asked, "This bid was supposed to be a sure win for us. The other side had said that this bid was just a formality. We have already started the related project on our end, and the initial funds have been invested. Now... Now..."

Liang Tao didn’t finish his sentence, but even if he didn’t speak, Mr. He and Old Zhou knew what he would say.

The corridor once again fell into silence, with the wind howling above the skylight, sounding like a monster’s roar.

Just when Liang Tao felt like he was about to be suffocated by the oppressive atmosphere, old Mr. He slowly spoke up, "I’ll handle this matter. You just need to take good care of He Xing."

Liang Tao watched Mr. He and Old Zhou enter the elevator. His bewildered expression finally eased, and it was only then that he finally remembered what Mr. He had said.

Mr. He had told him not to mention to He Xing that he had been here, and not to speak a word about the company’s affairs...

He steadied his emotions in the corridor for a moment before turning around and heading back to the ward. His figure appeared at the doorway, locking eyes with He Xing.

Liang Tao felt like he had just climbed out of hell, only to inadvertently fall into a frying pan. An inner voice screamed out a warning. Not knowing how his own complexion looked, he could only put on a brave face and greet, "Chairman He... Mr. He, do you... do you need anything?"

He Xing looked at him emotionlessly, "Who was on the phone just now?"

"Ah? Nothing... nothing important." Liang Tao’s face reddened instantly as he hurriedly said, "It was my mom. She was asking me... when I would go home."

"I see." He Xing nodded and turned his attractive eyes back to the ceiling, slightly squinting as he asked in a low voice after a while, "When is she having her surgery?"

"She?" Liang Tao was still recovering from his narrow escape, befuddled by the question until finally realizing, "Chairman He, you mean Miss Fu Han, right? Like last time, as soon as Miss Fu Han arrived in M Country, we lost all contact with her; I don’t know what happened."

Liang Tao wasn’t lying. Although He Xing had not yet awakened at that time, Liang Tao knew of He Xing’s concern for Fu Han, which was beyond ordinary. Hence, he had notified people over there before she had even landed. Yet, to date, all they had received was news of Fu Han disembarking the plane, and nothing more.

He knew He Xing would inquire about Fu Han, just not this quickly.

The already spacious ward felt oppressively quiet, and Liang Tao was prepared to confront the storm of rage.

Time ticked away, only a few minutes had passed, but it seemed as long as a century. Finally, He Xing spoke, "Keep an eye on Ji Liangchuan’s whereabouts, and also, have Bai Wei come see me."

"Lady Bai Wei?" Liang Tao cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Well, Lady Bai Wei took care of you last night, and she left to go back only after you woke up. She might still be catching up on sleep."

Though He Xing’s surgery was successful, he hadn’t completely escaped danger due to substantial blood loss. The doctors had instructed to have a family member constantly by his side, ensuring that any issues would be immediately reported to the medical staff.
