Ch. 13.1 Three Minutes
The news that the Second Young Master of the Shi family was on the operating table again spread quickly.
The Shi family is not a high-profile family, but their position in Haicheng is such that many people naturally keep an eye on them.
A few days ago, when the second young master of the Shi family finally made his first appearance, one doesn’t know how many people had been prying for news regarding him.
But now, before anyone had even gotten to know him, the Young Master was actually in the hospital again.
All kinds of different rumours had been spreading all over the place.
“I heard that this surgery was particularly dangerous, don’t know if he can be saved.”
“Ah, wasn’t it said that he was cured a few days ago?”
“It’s not that easy! This is a heart problem after all, it’s pretty delicate.”
“That’s right, look at the news, how many healthy young people die suddenly, let alone this one with a congenital defect?”
“If it wasn’t for the Shi family’s money, he probably wouldn’t have survived till now.”
“It’s not even a matter of money, I heard that just to ensure the sufficient amount of blood for the operation, the Shi family spent a lot of money to cooperate with an overseas blood organization to supply blood specifically for the Second Young Master.”
“Why would they need to prepare extra blood for surgery?”
“You don’t know? Even if it’s a regular blood type, the blood bank reserves are always tight, and if it’s a rare blood type, it’ll probably be even more scarce.”
“Right, right, especially for large-scale surgeries such as a heart surgery, which requires a large amount of blood, a lot of people can’t schedule their surgeries just because the blood bank can’t co-ordinate with it.”
“Their young master has surgeries every three days, so he must use a lot more blood, right? If not, would they need to go to such great lengths just to find a blood bank. I’ve heard that it seems to be a blood bank in …… Australia.”
“The Shi family is really concerned about this little son ah ……”
“That’s right, their family is now in the medical industry business, probably also related to the youngest son.”
“Tsk, then what about their eldest son? All of their Business and personal lives revolve around the youngest son, doesn’t the older son have any problems with it?”
“Who knows, it’s hard to say……”
The news of Shi Qingning’s re-operation also reached Jian Ren.
Jian Ren has not had a good time these days.
The injuries on his body didn’t heal well, and his chest was still painful from the direct attack. Jian Ren still gets nightmares, but what tormented him more now was the hours that he was conscious.
Jian Ren could no longer find the clear gaze filled with love that only had him in them.
The other day Jian Ren was still searching for Shi Qingning like a madman, and then someone unintentionally mentioned a sentence “Young Mater Jian still likes him”, that sentence immediately pulled him out of his reverie, as he suddenly stopped all his actions.
After locking himself up for a day, he stopped asking people to go look for the Shi family.
No one was even allowed to mention that name again.
Some people couldn’t stand Jian Ren’s volatile temper, and to continue licking his shoes like a dog, so they ended up directly running away.
This kind of quietly disappearing without making a sound people were not few, so the people surrounding Jian Ren visibly decreased.
While all of this was happening Jian Ren just watched coldly.
However, those remaining could clearly feel that Jian Ren’s calm self was even more intimidating than his previous irritating self.
Within a few days, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The person in charge of a well-known medical group in Yancheng was coming to Haicheng, and many well-informed people had already handed in their business cards, hoping to have a chance to meet with the person in charge.
As a result, the person in charge didn’t go to any of the appointments but his invitation was only extended to one person.
When the news spread, everyone was shocked to realise that Jian Ren who had recently come to Haicheng, was the in-charge of the Yancheng’s Medical Company in Haicheng.
Even if Jian Ren was only 22 years old, even if he didn’t have any relevant background.
But his surname is Jian!
In this Medical Group, Jian family definitely owned a large number of shares.
It was only then that the crowd realised once again how valuable the “Yancheng’s Jian Family” was, and for a while, Jian Ren’s reputation rose again, pushing him in the limelight.
Those who originally ran away, now their faces were turning green from regret.
This time, there were a lot of people wanting to get on the good side of Jian Ren.
But out of everyone’s expectations, Jian Ren’s first invitation was actually extended to the Shi Family.
Jian Ren was actually very clear, him, now looking for the Shi Family was actually giving away a heap of gold on his own initiative.
In his hands, Jian Ren was holding resources that many people in Haicheng could only dream of, even if it was just a few short-term information about medical funds and high-tech stocks, it was enough to make people rush to him.
But now, Jian Ren was taking the initiative to show this goodwill to someone else.
He had no other ulterior motives.
He was doing all of this just so that he could make that pretty little kid feel better.
From the moment he heard the news that Shi Qingning was in the hospital again, Jian Ren had been suffering inside.
Jian Ren could be sure that no one in Haicheng would be able to resist this great gift he had given.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the Shi family to write back.
Subsequently, Jian Ren and Shi Yi made an appointment to meet and talk about it in detail.
On the day of the meeting, Jian Ren only brought a secretary with him.
In order to show that he didn’t have any malicious intent, he even chose a secretary with a weak body type that looked unthreatening.
But precisely because the secretary was too skinny, when Jian Ren entered the hotel, the secretary failed to push his wheelchair.
In the end, it was only after alerting the hotel’s security guards that they were able to point out the convenient passage for wheelchair and send the person into the lobby.
A little hiccup like this didn’t hurt Jian Ren much, on the flat ground with no steps, Jian Ren was able to manoeuvre his wheelchair very skillfully.
He arrived at the hotel one step ahead of Shi Yi.
Jian Ren had checked a lot of information about Shi Yi before he came, unlike the past when he was casually playing around, this time, Jian Ren was very carefully learning about everything related to Shi Qingning.
The Shi family started out as a medical equipment manufacturer, and the current market value of Shi’s has reached tens of billions of dollars in valuation, and although it is not yet listed, it has more financial strength than many listed companies.
That was why the Shi family had become the undisputed richest in Haicheng.
As the heir of the Shi family, Shi Yi took part in the company affairs since a very early stage.
However, Shi Yi was not mainly responsible for Shi’s medical equipment company, but a separate financial business under it, more like medical investment to be exact.
Any news regarding Shi family had always been a source of great interest, and there were many rumours that Shi Yi was in charge of his current business because his family would not let go of him.
Otherwise, with his obvious ability and Wharton School degree, Shi Yi could have entered the financial industry, and his impact there would have been much greater.
He definitely would have had more freedom than now.
Coupled with the fact that the Shi family spent almost all of their efforts on their youngest son, it seemed that Shi Yi was not as close to his family, at least in the eyes of the outsiders.
It was as if he was just a nominal member of his family, when in reality, his brother had taken all the favour of his parents.
He will probably not have many good feelings for this younger brother of his.
So when Shi Yi came and Jian Ren saw him for the first time, his conjecture was confirmed.
This man is too cold.
His face was literally devoid of any expressions and being dressed in an imposing long, black trench coat, even the person who showed him the way was frozen still for a moment looking at him, and then fell back two steps before daring to follow him carefully.
Shi Yi walked over and took a seat, his face still without any changes.
This made the slight but polite smile of Jian Ren look a bit awkward.
Jian Ren was now even more worried.
He himself felt that Shi Yi was too cold.
Then what about Qingning…. How was he treated?
Thinking about this matter, Jian Ren felt like having a heavy burden on his shoulders. Fortunately, he had enough cards in his hands, so he did not panic much at this time.
“Mr Shi, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Therefore, Jian Ren was quite composed when he opened his mouth.
“Let’s talk about the benefits of this cooperation for the Shi family first.”
Jian Ren was well prepared as he reported various different stocks to Shi Yi.
Shi Yi was in charge of medical-related investments, and the information on medical stocks that Jian Ren held was more important to him than anyone else.
Jian Ren even thought further about it.
If necessary, he could give some information having long-term benefits.
There were no one else around, and although this hotel was chosen by Shi Yi, the appointment location was decided by Jian Ren.
He had directly booked an entire viewing area on the highest floor.
Currently, on this floor, it was only the two of them.
Therefore, Jian Ren didn’t have to take into account the others when he spoke.
The news he threw out one by one were more enticing than the one before.
But before Jian Ren could implement his plan, he was interrupted by an icy voice.
“There’s no need to talk about those first.”
Shi Yi’s expression was cold.
“Why did you come to us?”
Jian Ren knew that he would ask this question, so he just opened up directly, without hiding anything.
“I’m looking for you to co-operate because of Second Young Master Shi.”
“I want to have a different story with him.”
Jian Ren said.
“Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, I want to continue with him.”
Jian Ren knew that what Shi Yi wanted most was profit, and stating it directly like this would make Shi Yi drop his guard.
After all, both sides had a clear purpose, each taking what they wanted.
“I’m serious about him.”
Saying this, Jian Ren leaned forward slightly with his upper body, crossing his fingers.
He gazed at the other party, his voice slow and extraordinarily clear.
“Therefore, to the Shi family, I will give the biggest concession.”
The man on the opposite side looked at him with an icy gaze, making Jian Ren instantly feel a chill rise from behind him.
But Jian Ren did not retreat, he knew that this was the other party considering his proposal.
And he knew that he possessed full sincerity.
As he was waiting for the reply, Jian Ren’s gaze shifted, falling on the fish swimming in the tank on the side.
The scenery of this viewing hall occupying the whole floor was particularly good, beside the table, there was a huge cylindrical seascape tank with a diameter of five metres.
The seascape tank was as high as ten metres, running through three floors of the hotel, starting from the ground floor itself, separated by a layer of glass curtain wall, all kinds of beautiful fish in the ornamental tank freely swimming around, forming a unique and elegant scene.
Jian Ren saw, but only felt that they were just pretty.
After all, this was Haicheng City, these fish tank fishes could not be compared to the natural tropical seaside view of the city.
Thinking about the tropical seaside, Jian Ren’s gaze gradually softened.
“Now that it’s winter, when our co-operation comes to an end, I also plan to take Xiao Ning to a tropical island for a holiday.”
Jian Ren’s voice slowed down.
“His health is not good, he needs to rest and recuperate. The climate of a tropical island will be more suitable and relaxing for him.”
As he said that, the curves of Jian Ren’s lips softened even more.
“I have a scuba diving certificate, so I can just teach him how to swim hand in hand, this will also help him to relax.”
The tall and thin assistant who followed Shi Yi in and was standing on the side listened, and for a moment he couldn’t hold back as he looked at Shi Yi several more times.
Why didn’t Mr Shi say yes?
The assistant had heard of this Jian Ren, the person that the Second Young Master of the Shi family liked.
Shi Qingning had already given so much trouble to the Shi family, but this time, he didn’t know how the tables had turned making the same Young Master bring a little benefit to the Shi family.
So, what was Mr Shi still hesitating for?
The assistant frowned slightly, hating that he couldn’t open his mouth to urge Shi Yi to nod his head quickly.
There were times when even he did not understand what General Manager Shi was thinking.
Just like what he and Mr. Shi were talking about on the way here today.
“General Manager Shi, Second Young Master Shi contacted the person in-charge of Shimei without permission and directly stirred up that business deal with Dexin.” At that time, the assistant’s tone was quite unhappy, “He used to be okay doing his own stuff, but now he even wants to get involved in the company’s business ……”
Shi Yi sitting in the back seat of the car was looking at the documents when he suddenly raised his head and looked straight at the Assistant.
The assistant was jolted back by his look.
“Without permission?”
Shi Yi’s voice was cold.
“He is the heir of Shi Family, don’t say contacting anyone, he can even sell the company if he wants to.”
The man’s tone did not change but no one could deny the authority in his words.
“Any contract signed by him will also take effect immediately.”
The assistant was choked and slammed his mouth shut.
After that, he tried to say something else, but all of his words were ignored by the other party.
So much so that now the assistant still had hesitations in his heart and didn’t have the guts to directly open his mouth to advise Shi Yi.
But the assistant had already made a note of this matter in his mind.
He was secretly indignant.
When he went back today, he would report all of these matters to the Li family!
Could the Shi family still disobey the Li family of Yancheng? The assistant was calculating in his mind, but he didn’t expect that Shi Yi, who was given a large number of attractive conditions by Jian Ren, not only did not open his mouth to agree, but instead suddenly opened his mobile phone.
The mobile phone screen lit up, and a video started playing.
“Isn’t there a pool over there, why don’t we push the person into the pool ……”
“Look at his appearance, he won’t cry out on the spot, right?”
On the opposite side, Jian Ren’s face changed immediately.
His voice coming out of the mobile phone.
“Don’t pull him up too quickly.”
–This was the video from last month, when the Second Young Master of the Shi family was pushed into the pond by Jian Ren and his minions before he fell into a coma.
“This ……”
Cold sweat instantly appeared on Jian Ren’s forehead.
Before he could weasel his way out of it, the icy man sitting across from him had already reached over and directly yanked up his collar.
“You are serious about him?”
Shi Yi’s gaze was cold, his voice even colder.
He was an extremely calm person, but at this moment, even the veins on the back of his hands were popping out, along with his tendons, making him look very aggressive.
With a clang, Jian Ren’s wheelchair was thrown away, and his entire body was directly dragged up by Shi Yi’s hand on his collar!
Although Jian Ren was not as tall as Shi Yi, he is also a fully grown adult male. And now that he was suddenly strangled by his collar, he was almost strangled to the point that he was foaming at the corner of his mouth on the spot.
“Let…… let go…..”
Jian Ren’s hand had a death grip on Shi Yi’s, his face had completely reddened from suffocation, and his throat couldn’t even squeeze out complete words.
He vaguely heard the secretary’s scream, but in the next second, it was drowned out by an even louder noise.
“Bang!!!”
Jian Ren was directly smashed hard onto the seascape tank by Shi Yi.
The sharp pain made his senses even clearer, and Jian Ren clearly heard every word that Shi Yi uttered.
“His body is so weak, that a room temperature below fifteen degrees could induce premature cardiac arrest.”
Shi Yi’s words were cold, the bottom of his eyes blood red, like a death controlling Yama.
“In the weather of minus four degrees, you push him into a pond and didn’t allow him to come up.”
For a moment, Jian Ren even felt that he would really die here.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong …… wrong …… I would reflect ……”
He no longer knew what he was saying.
But the severe pain made Jian Ren clearly hear Shi Yi’s words.
Shi Yi was saying.
“Then I’ll help you reflect.”
“Ah, ah ah ……!!!”
Jian Ren was dragged over by Shi Yi lifting his collar, his legs dragging on the cold ground, weak and powerless.
He could not struggle at all as Shi Yi lifted him to a height, just like lifting a trash bag.
Jian Ren’s back slammed into a hard wall, and then his whole body shook.
There was a sound of crack, and then he slowly heard someone speak beside his ear.
“Three minutes.”
Currently, for Jian Ren, Shi Yi’s voice was more terrifying than what he would do to him.
“You trapped him in the pool for three minutes.”
Shi Yi lowered his eyes to look at him as if he was looking at a worthless dead thing.
“There’s a breathing mask in there with enough oxygen to last you three hours.”
Jian Ren’s eyes snapped open, and he suddenly guessed exactly what that cracking sound was.
“No, you can’t ……”
Shi Yi ignored it.
He repeated what Jian Ren had bragged about earlier.
“Aren’t you good at diving?”
The top entrance of the seascape tank was open in its entirety, and Shi Yi carried the almost dead Jian Ren and kicked him directly into the ten-metre-high huge fish tank!
With a “thud”, Jian Ren smashed straight into the blue seascape tank, disturbing a sea fishes swimming inside.
Three minutes.
This time, Shi Yi let Jian Ren repent for three hours.
If it happens once again, Shi Yi will let Jian Ren regret for three lives.
