  Back then, Brother Hai had helped him slap his ex-wife. He would also help Brother Hai slap her back!

  “I’ll tell Brother Hai everything you said!”

  After saying that, Jiang Feng left without looking back. Mu Jingzhe was already in so much pain that it was difficult for her to stand. After being hit by Jiang Feng, she directly collapsed on the ground.

  This was the first time in Mu Jingzhe’s two lifetimes that she had been slapped in the face. In the past, she had been the one slapping other people. It was so painful that her ears were ringing. She was furious. She didn’t care if he was Jiang Feng or Shao Qihai’s friend. She only wanted to hit him back.

  Mu Jingzhe was filled with anger, but in reality, she couldn’t even get up. She looked at Jiang Feng’s departing back, ready to curse, when her stomach suddenly clenched. Something surged up, and she felt a metallic taste in her throat.

  “Ugh…”

  When she saw the bloodstains on the ground, Mu Jingzhe’s vision darkened and she lost consciousness. One second before she fainted, the thought that appeared in Mu Jingzhe’s mind was that she had actually vomited blood.

  This wasn’t a television drama. She really had vomited blood.

  Jiang Feng heard something abnormal behind him. After walking for a while, he turned around and saw Mu Jingzhe lying motionless on the ground. He sneered.

  “You’re pretending to faint to fool me? I won’t fall for it.” His ex-wife had also pretended to faint to fool him back then, but it was no longer effective on him now.

  Jiang Feng strode away and prepared to contact Shao Qihai.

  A trace of blood seeped out of the corner of Mu Jingzhe’s mouth as she lay on the ground. However, because this residential area was relatively special, it was quiet despite being in a central location. There weren’t many people nearby, and no one noticed.

  Not until Ji Buwang returned.

  Ji Buwang was worried about Mu Jingzhe, so he sent Xiao Wu back and came to check on Mu Jingzhe before returning home. At most, he was afraid that Mu Jingzhe would feel nauseous and unwell, but he hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to faint at the door.

  Ji Buwang picked up Mu Jingzhe and, seeing the blood at the corner of her mouth and the bloodstains on the ground, he widened his eyes.

  “Jingzhe, Jingzhe!” Ji Buwang shouted, but Mu Jingzhe didn’t react at all. Her face was even worse than yesterday, pale and lifeless, as if she had already died.

  Just a moment ago, Mu Jingzhe had sent them off with a smile, but now, she was in a horrible state.

  \r \r \r

  Ji Buwang held a trembling finger under Mu Jingzhe’s nose and only heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that she was still breathing. He carried Mu Jingzhe into the car and rushed to the hospital.

  He was so panicked that he even ran a red light on the way. Fortunately, nothing happened.

  Mu Jingzhe was taken to the hospital. Ji Buwang couldn’t tell what was wrong with her, so he could only tell the medical staff what he knew.

  The doctor examined her, and Mu Jingzhe’s main symptom was excessive blood loss. If she had been transferred any later, things could have been very dangerous. After emergency treatment, Mu Jingzhe’s originally weak breathing slowly stabilized, but her face was still awfully pale.

  Because Mu Jingzhe had vomited blood, she underwent a checkup. However, nothing was wrong. There was no internal bleeding either.

  Then, the doctor carefully checked if there were other bleeding wounds on Mu Jingzhe’s body, but strangely enough, no wounds were found.

  Mu Jingzhe didn’t have any external wounds, and her internal organs were fine. Since there wasn’t a bleeding point, she shouldn’t have shown symptoms of excessive blood loss, but she exhibited symptoms of excessive bleeding indeed.

  The doctor was also puzzled. “No matter how you look at it, the only thing that can be considered a wound is the palm print on her face. But it’s not bleeding either.”

  After she was taken to the hospital, a slap mark had appeared on Mu Jingzhe’s face. Jiang Feng had hit her too hard, causing her face to swell up. It was impossible to ignore it.

  Ji Buwang was questioned a few times by the doctor, who suspected that he was the one who had hit her.

  However, how could Ji Buwang possibly slap Mu Jingzhe? When he saw the slap mark on Mu Jingzhe’s face, he was angrier than everyone else.

  He didn’t know who had dared to hit Jingzhe so ruthlessly.

  Besides, it had happened while Mu Jingzhe was sick and weak. Ji Buwang knew very well that Mu Jingzhe had Herculean strength, so he hadn’t expected Mu Jingzhe to be so weak.

  If he knew who the culprit was, he would definitely hit that person back twice as hard.

  However, the most important thing right now was that Mu Jingzhe had yet to wake up.

  “Doctor, when will Jingzhe wake up?” Ji Buwang was very anxious. He had clearly found the best doctor.

  “We’re not sure yet. Please be patient and wait…”

  “How can I be patient in such a situation? No, you guys should examine her. You can’t be uncertain about everything…”

  When Mu Jingzhe woke up again, the first thing she heard was Ji Buwang’s abnormally anxious voice.

  “Ji Buwang…” Mu Jingzhe called out. Because her voice was too soft, Ji Buwang didn’t hear her at all. It was the nurse beside her who immediately realized that Mu Jingzhe was awake.

  “The patient is awake.”

  Ji Buwang pounced over. “Jingzhe, you’re awake. Are you feeling terrible? Does it hurt?”

  Mu Jingzhe felt that the pain that had made her faint had disappeared and she regained her composure, as if the earlier pain had been just in her imagination.

  But it hadn’t been an illusion. She felt very tired and weak.

  “I’m just very tired.”

  Mu Jingzhe told the doctor about her previous convulsions. The doctor listened and communicated with her for a while before deciding to perform a detailed checkup. Because Mu Jingzhe’s condition was so special, the doctor suggested that there might be some kind of parasite in her body, so they had to check for that as well.

  After the examination, Ji Buwang asked what had happened.

  “What exactly happened? When I came back, I found you lying on the ground. Who slapped your face? Were you attacked by criminals?”

  “There were no criminals. I just fainted from the pain. Fortunately, you came back and brought me to the hospital.” Mu Jingzhe felt helpless at the thought of being slapped.

  “Then who hit you?” Ji Buwang asked.

  “Just…” Before Mu Jingzhe could say anything, Ji Buwang suddenly asked, “Was it Jiang Feng?”

  Mu Jingzhe glanced at Ji Buwang. “How did you guess?”

  “Is there a need to guess? Think about it. He’s the only one in Ocean City who’s always…” Ji Buwang hadn’t expected it to really be Jiang Feng. “Did he eat a bear’s heart and a leopard’s gall? He actually dared to hit you? Did you hit him back? Not only did he hit you, but he even threw you to the ground without a care!”

  “I didn’t hit him back.” Mu Jingzhe was also speechless. “I didn’t have the strength then. Otherwise, I would have hit him back long ago.”

  Since she hadn’t hit him back on the spot, it would seem strange to hit him back afterward.

  Mu Jingzhe knew that Jiang Feng had misunderstood, but Jiang Feng didn’t care if she was dead or alive and had really left her behind. She still felt lingering fear.

  She could have died. In the end, because of this misunderstanding, he had just ignored her. Sigh.

  “Don’t let me catch him, or I’ll slap his face until it blooms open.” Ji Buwang gritted his teeth.

  “You can’t blame him entirely.” Mu Jingzhe sighed. “He saw you taking me to the hospital yesterday and riding a bicycle with me. He also saw you leave my house early in the morning and thought that I… He just got cheated on recently.”

  Mu Jingzhe felt that it might be time for her to settle the divorce procedure with Shao Qihai. Previously, they hadn’t settled it because of the children, and later on, she hadn’t wanted the children to be gossiped about because of their divorce, so she’d kept dragging it out.

  But now, it seemed like there were many disadvantages to this situation.

  Jiang Feng had said that he would tell Shao Qihai, so Shao Qihai would probably contact her. She should talk to him about it then. The children should be able to understand…… After all, they were the reason they had signed the divorce agreement back then.
