I accidentally messed with a wealthy family, and my blind date was the CEO.

After learning her basic situation from Ye Qingning, Jiang Yuzhu's expression did not change, but he quickened his pace in his heart.

She immediately ordered her colleagues at the hospital to arrange a series of examinations for Ye Qingning, including blood tests and imaging examinations to rule out possible serious diseases.

Jiang Yuzhu moved extremely quickly, tapping the keyboard lightly with her fingers.

There was no wave in her eyes, but there was another wave in her heart.

A few hours later, the results of the inspection were like a heavy stone dropped into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Ye Qingning was diagnosed with mid-stage breast cancer. The news was like a cold wave that instantly invaded the warmth of the entire office.

"Sister Qing Ning, the results are out."

Jiang Yuzhu's voice was so steady that it was almost indifferent, but his clear eyes could not hide the deep worry.

Ye Qingning sat on the cushioned chair, her hands tightly grasping the strap of her handbag, and the smile on her lips was pale and hard.

"What's the result?" Her voice was gentle and trembling. Although she had a premonition, her heart was still full of uneasiness.

Jiang Yuzhu took a deep breath, and then breathed it out slowly. Every word she spoke was clear and firm.

"It's the middle stage of breast cancer, but don't worry too much. Today's medical treatments are very advanced and we have many treatments."

Jiang Yuzhu gently shook Ye Qingning's hand, paused, and sounded soothing.

Ye Qingning's eyes flickered subtly, almost pausing for a few seconds.

"Breast cancer..."

She frowned and coughed tightly.

"Sorry, I'm rude."

"Yuzhu, please help me keep this secret, at least for now. The company is going through an important stage, and I can't let my problems become a burden to them."

Jiang Yuzhu nodded slightly, "I respect your decision, Sister Qing Ning. I will protect your secret, but you must also promise me that you will not neglect treatment because of work."

There was a trace of worry in her tone, which was the kindness of a doctor and the concern of a friend.

Ye Qingning smiled slightly, as if there was a thousand words of gratitude in her smile.

"I promise you, Yu Zhu. Thank you for protecting this secret for me."

A ripple flashed in her eyes, and she suppressed the discomfort.

She is so young, why...

Jiang Yuzhu stood up, nodded slightly, and focused his eyes on the woman in front of him.

"I will work out a treatment plan as soon as possible, and I will tell you any new situations as soon as possible."

Ye Qingning stood up and met Jiang Yuzhu's eyes. There was trust in their eyes.

She whispered: "Then I'll beg you, Yu Zhu."

On the other side, Pei Jingchuan walked out of the conference room with steady steps. His deep eyes scanned the busy corridor and finally settled on Pei Yanqing in front of the office door.

His voice was indifferent and steady, "Yan Qing, what are you doing here?"

Pei Yanqing looked a little anxious. He walked forward quickly, with unnoticeable nervousness hidden in his eyes.

"Brother, I just received news that Pei Shangde's recent behavior is unusual. It seems that he is preparing to go abroad. If we don't take measures as soon as possible, he may slip away from our control."

Pei Jingchuan's expression did not waver, but he knew in his heart that this was related to the future of the Pei family.

He leaned slowly against the door frame, his eyes as calm as ice, "Don't be impatient. The net must be closed just right. Being too impatient will only alert the enemy. If Pei Shangde really has this intention, then sooner or later he will reveal his flaws."

Pei Yanqing rubbed the documents in his hand uneasily, "But if he really escapes abroad, it will be even more difficult for us to deal with him."

Pei Jingchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, which was a rare expression of his emotions.

"It's not Pei Shangde's turn to have any say in our Pei family's affairs. I have my own plans, so there's no need to worry."

His voice was low, but like the sunshine in winter, it revealed a hint of warmth, "As long as we hold our position, Pei Shangde's every move will be within our sight."

Hearing what Pei Jingchuan said, Pei Yanqing felt a little relieved, but he was still worried.

"Brother, you are always so thoughtful. I'm just worried..."

Before he finished speaking, Pei Jingchuan raised his hand to stop him.

Pei Jingchuan's eyes were like a frozen lake, and through Pei Yanqing's anxiety, he gave instructions lightly.

"Continue to monitor Pei Shangde's every move, and at the same time, pay attention to Lin Yeken's movements. The chess game between the Pei family and the Lin family is far from over."

Pei Yanqing's hand holding the document loosened slightly, "I understand, brother."

He knew that Pei Jingchuan had always been calm and would not make decisions easily. Every move was like a carefully arranged move on the chessboard.

At this moment, Gu Qiyang's figure appeared at the door, with a somewhat proud smile on his face.

"Jingchuan, everything is ready and we can proceed as planned."

Pei Jingchuan's eyes turned to Gu Qiyang, a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. "Okay, proceed as planned."

His words were concise, but they were enough to show his recognition of Gu Qiyang's efficiency.

Gu Qiyang nodded, with a glow of confidence on his face, "This time, the Lin family and Pei Shangde will both reap the consequences. The layout you and I have put in over the years will finally pay off."

Pei Jingchuan picked up the phone and slid his fingertips gently on the screen. Under his cold appearance, his concern for his family was subtly revealed.

The message was brief, but it also contained profound meaning: "Yuzhu, there are many things to do tonight, I will go home later."

Jiang Yuzhu replied quickly, and her words revealed a kind of understanding and support, just like her attitude all along.

"I understand, work is important. Don't worry about home, everything is fine."

A barely visible smile appeared on Pei Jingchuan's lips. He knew that he had chosen a partner who could fight alongside him.

He replied simply: "Wait for me."

This kind of communication may be ordinary to others, but to them, it is an expression of deep tacit understanding and trust.

He placed the phone gently on the table and raised his head again, his eyes returning to their former coldness and depth.

"Yan Qing, continue your work, Gu Qiyang, follow me."

The road was empty and quiet in the early morning, with only the occasional passing vehicle breaking the silence of the night.

Pei Jingchuan and Gu Qiyang stood quietly on the road to the airport, their silhouettes elongated under the street lights, as if blending into the colors of the night.

Finally, a car drove quickly and stopped in front of the two people.

As soon as the car door opened, Pei Shangde looked a little embarrassed.

He obviously didn't expect to meet Pei Jingchuan here.

Pei Jingchuan's voice was calm and emotionless, "Uncle, it's so late, where are you going?"

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Pei Shangde's face, and he forced a smile, "Jingchuan, I... just want to go abroad and relax."
