Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 242 - 242 242 He Dared Not See Her

Chapter 242: Chapter 242 He Dared Not See Her Chapter 242: Chapter 242 He Dared Not See Her Sheng Siyuan arrived at the Drug Rehabilitation Center when it was already very late.

The streets in the early morning were so silent that only the howling cold wind could be heard, blowing the few remaining leaves from the branches, drifting onto the empty streets.

At a glance, this added an extra touch of desolation and bleakness to the street.

“President, at this hour, they probably won’t let you in,”

Xu Guannan, following behind him, said as he saw the firmly shut gates, trying to suppress the discomfort in his heart.

Indeed, even if he wanted to go in, he couldn’t now.

However, for him, this was actually a good thing, because, even if he had gone inside, he might not have known how to start speaking to that woman inside.

Sheng Siyuan stood at the entrance of the Drug Rehabilitation Center for a long time.

Not until streaks of dawn started to show in the sky did he finally move his stiff legs and mechanically returned to the car.

“Back to Jiangbei.”

“Yes,” Xu Guannan responded as he started the car.

“Also, go to the capital and bring over Jian Rou’s urn,”

he added from the back seat.

Xu Guannan’s hands, gripping the steering wheel, stiffened in place; after a long while, he looked up at the rearview mirror at this man who seemed to have lost all his luster overnight, his chest felt suffocated as though a massive stone weighed on it.

The car disappeared in the dimly lit streets.

By seven in the morning, Yin Hehe woke up inside the Drug Rehabilitation Center. As she opened her eyes, the first thing she did was look at the cellphone on the nightstand.

[Xiaohe, are you okay? Big brother couldn’t get in all this time, how are you doing?]

[Hehe, how was your treatment today?]

[…]

But notably, that man was silent.

Yin Hehe’s gaze dimmed, and she flipped to the call logs, wanting to see if the number she couldn’t reach the night before had perhaps called her.

But there was nothing.

What exactly was happening? This man, what exactly was he doing?

Finally, she couldn’t sit still anymore, she got down from the hospital bed and rushed to the door of the room.

“Bang bang bang!”

She banged hard against the door of the room.

“Nurse Zhang, open the door for me, I need to go out, hurry up and open it!”

After a long time, a nurse outside ran over to open the door for her.

“Yin Hehe, what’s the matter with you? So early in the morning, are you…?”

The nurse’s face changed, thinking that it might be an early onset of withdrawal symptoms.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe waved her hand and said, “No, could you please find Doctor Qin for me? I want to go outside.”

“What?”

The nurse trembled with fright upon hearing this.

Because in this place, unless you’ve successfully detoxed, you couldn’t just leave.

“Yin Hehe, have you lost your mind? You’ve only been here for a month, how can you go out? You haven’t even detoxed completely yet?”

She exclaimed, taking out the keys to push Yin Hehe back into the room, as if fearing she might escape.

Poor Yin Hehe, after a month of torturous treatment, had already become thin as a rail, not to mention being pushed back – a gust of wind could knock her over.

Yin Hehe was pushed back into the room.

“Let me out, I didn’t mean it like that, go find Doctor Qin for me, go find her!!”

She was so upset she was on the verge of tears.

Fortunately, it was almost time for work, and soon after, Doctor Qin really did arrive.

“What happened? What are you all doing?”

She saw the scene and was so scared that she ran over without even having the time to put down her bag.

It was then that the nurse hurriedly explained what had happened.

“Doctor Qin, she… she said she wanted to go out early in the morning, and I was so scared that I locked her up again.”

Go out?

Doctor Qin walked to the doorway of the ward and saw Yin Hehe from the window, still banging on the door, her eyes already red.

“Open the door!” Doctor Qin instructed after a few seconds.

The little nurse: “…”

In the end, under the stern gaze of the doctor, she still opened the door to the ward.

“Doctor Qin!”

As expected, the moment the door was opened, Yin Hehe rushed out from inside.

She gripped Doctor Qin’s arm tightly, her eyes brimming with tears as she said, “Doctor Qin, I must go home, something has happened to my family.”

“What happened?” Doctor Qin was immediately shocked.

Doctor Qin suddenly remembered the incident from yesterday when Jian Zhongzhou came here looking for Yin Hehe; her expression grew even more anxious.

“Xiaoyin, you mustn’t believe what that person said yesterday. I’ve seen your husband, and he deeply cares for you. He wouldn’t do such a thing.”

She urgently persuaded her, worried that Yin Hehe might be affected by this and it would impact her treatment.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe became even more upset.

She hung her head low, standing in front of the doctor with tears steadily falling.

“Doctor Qin, I… I don’t disbelieve him. It’s precisely because I trust him so much that I’m afraid something will happen to him.”

“What?”

At this, Doctor Qin was perplexed.

Fifteen minutes later, when Doctor Qin sat at the small table inside the ward and finally heard Yin Hehe sobbingly tell the whole story of what had happened initially, she came to understand.

“Xiaoyin, that’s where you were wrong. Why didn’t you tell your husband about this in the first place? Look, because you kept silent, you’ve caused so much trouble, and you’ve ended up in this state yourself.”

After hearing the whole story, Doctor Qin looked at the girl in front of her, both annoyed and distressed.

Yin Hehe wiped her tears and didn’t dare talk back.

It was her fault, after all.

“Then why are you now worried that something will happen to him? I still don’t understand. Jian Rou jumped off the building herself, that has nothing to do with your husband, right? Moreover, after Jian Zhongzhou made a fuss here yesterday, we checked his background too. Just a third tier powerbroker in the capital, thinking he can cover the sky with one hand and take down your husband is completely impossible!”

Doctor Qin thought for a moment and then asked another question.

That’s the confidence of the Drug Rehabilitation Center.

Here, any power must bow its head, because this place is akin to a national law enforcement agency.

Yin Hehe sniffled and after a long pause, she finally said, “If that were the case, since Jian Zhongzhou made a fuss here yesterday, my husband should have come to see me.”

That seemed to make sense.

Doctor Qin suddenly found herself at a loss for words.

Yin Hehe continued, “He didn’t come, there must have been an unexpected turn of events. He might have been threatened, and this might have something to do with me.”

She laid out her analysis clearly, leaving the doctor in front of her startled and speechless for a while.

For a long time, she looked at her, forgetting what to say.

Is this what a lawyer is capable of?

Without being present at the scene of the incident, based solely on her own conjecture, she could understand the entirety of the situation. If it were up to them doctors, they would break their heads thinking and still probably wouldn’t come up with these points.

“But still, Xiaoyin, even so, you can’t go out. You’re now addicted to a new type of drug, and here at the Drug Rehabilitation Center, you are considered a key treatment object. The anti-narcotics brigade is also closely monitoring you.”

To her surprise, even after listening to everything, the doctor still refused.

Yin Hehe’s eyes reddened once again.

“Doctor Qin…”

“Let’s do this, I’ll make a call to Jiangbei, have a colleague there look for your husband. We’ll find out exactly what happened and then discuss what’s best, okay?”

The doctor changed tack, bringing her a glimmer of hope.
