The assistant was crazy busy these days.
Since Zhou Mushi and He Yu met danger in the banquet hall, both of them were injured. On the one hand, he must closely block the news, and on the other hand, he must secretly investigate the whole process of the accident that day. In addition, he must continue to carry out the original plan of his boss meticulously. In the past few days, he has been running back and forth between the hospital and the central building. In just five days, it seems like he had lost hair amounting to five years.
He Yu was still in a coma, so he could only temporarily obey the orders of his legal spouse. Zhou Mushi stayed in the hospital to recuperate from his injuries. Frankly speaking, he was not seriously injured. His broken left arm was the only thing worth mentioning in his whole body and the leg that had been broken before was almost healed. The assistant really didn’t understand why the other party needed to be bedridden.
Of course, he dared not say this in front of Zhou Mushi.
Besides, Zhou Mushi didn’t completely become an arm-flinging shopkeeper. He assigned all the tasks to be handled for the people below to do it. The arrangement can be described as orderly and reasonable. In short, no one would have the time to stay idle, so after the assistant buried himself with work, he had a great admiration for this seemingly vulnerable omega.
As expected of the man who dared to shoot down his boss.
Both of them asked for leave. He Yu had an assistant to help them with his responsibilities, while Zhou Mushi somehow fabricated a document issued by the government to leave the country, and was justly absent from the council. The situation of the charity banquet that day has been clarified. It is true that the Yu family was unable to make peace with the first trial’s decision and intended to counterattack before the second trial, and Cheng Huanqing provided them with this convenience. The assistant thought of the meeting with the other party when he followed He Yu to the prison that day. Perhaps it was on that day that the Yu family promised the Secretary-General something as the price for his comeback, but aside from this, Cheng Huanqing’s murderous intent on He Yu was enough to become his motivation.
It’s a pity that the person who did their dirty job failed. Now the Secretary-General who has just taken office not long ago may have to pay the price for his recklessness.
But the assistant was puzzled about Zhou Mushi’s worries, it’s been a while and he was unwilling to make a move.
Obviously, the matter has been clarified with supporting evidence. With Zhou Mushi’s cautious style, if there is nothing in his hand in advance that could pinch Cheng Huanqing, the assistant would not believe it. Saying that to repay evil with goodness and be merciful, would be more than wishful thinking. In his opinion, this omega holds the same level of grudge as his boss, and he would be surprised if Cheng Huanqing wouldn’t lose his life. Besides, it would be even more troublesome if they don’t attack now and wait for the other party to plan and take precautions.
But Zhou Mushi held back his troops without moving, he just sits on the bed solemnly every day, holding a thick tome and flipping through it. It is full of dazzling medical terminologies in Latin. The assistant glanced at it, only understanding the words “hormone” and “safety period”, which made him baffled. Occasionally, he would see the other party close the door and discuss something seriously with the doctor. He obviously didn’t suffer any injuries, but he didn’t stop taking medicine every day. Even so, the omega was still losing weight visibly to the naked eye. His pale and clear outline is like thin porcelain, which can be broken into pieces with a touch.
He Yu woke up several times intermittently during this period, but not for long. He always closed his eyes shortly after he opened them. The time when he persisted to be conscious for the longest time, he just said half a sentence, “… Where is he?”
It goes without saying who this “he” was, but unfortunately Zhou Mushi was not there at that time, he was not even in the next ward, but went to another floor of the hospital for an examination.
The assistant found that he could no longer understand the relationship between these two people.
There is no doubt that He Yu likes Zhou Mushi. He has been with his commander for so many years, and it was his first time seeing him fall head over heels for someone. It happened more than once, and he fell willingly.
But what about Zhou Mushi? He has been in the Federal Army for many years, and he has seen quite a lot of omegas, some as beautiful as him, and some as smart as him, but there is really no one who can compare to his coldness.
Except for asking him about He Yu’s situation on the first day, the assistant never heard him mention his boss’s injury again. He was obviously in the next ward, but he never took a look, as if the professional books in his hand are more attractive than his husband who is lying unconscious on the bed.

Only once, it was in the middle of the night. On the way back, the assistant remembered that he had left a document in the hospital, so he rushed back to pick it up, but when he arrived at the door of the ward, he saw a slender figure sitting by the bed through the glass window.

Is this late night husband killing? After thinking about it for several days, did he decide to strangle him to relieve his hatred?
When Zhou Mushi saw the person barging in, there was no trace of panic on his face. He withdrew his hand, got up and nodded to the assistant, and left without saying a word.
The assistant hurriedly stepped forward to check the state of his boss, still sleeping defenselessly, but he looked to be more stable than during the day. He checked repeatedly, and finally only saw a healed bite mark on the side of He Yu’s neck, apart from this, there was nothing else.
In fact, it was not without traces. In the place where the assistant could not detect, the scent belonging to the omega quietly circulated the hospital bed, enclosing the alpha on the bed, silently comforting.
**
The next morning, the assistant returned to the hospital with huge dark circles below his eyes. He was preparing to report the materials he had sorted out to Zhou Mushi. When he knocked on the door of the ward, the omega who should have been sitting by the bed and drinking medicine in the past was gone.
He stayed rooted in place for a while and was about to turn on the communicator to ask where the other party had gone when he heard a loud crash of a heavy object falling to the ground coming from the next ward.
The assistant immediately ran over, slammed open the door, and saw the male alpha who was sitting on the floor and slowly standing up with the help of the bed rail. His eyes were almost brimming with tears of excitement. “Boss! You’re awake!”
He Yu sat on the edge of the bed, supported his forehead, and closed his eyes for a while, then asked in a hoarse voice, “Where is he?”
The assistant thought: Here we go again!
He was about to answer that he was next door, but when he remembered the empty room just now, he couldn’t help but pause, and a bad feeling surged in his heart.
Immediately afterward, He Yu looked around, and his eyes stopped on the file bag at the bedside.
Before the assistant could remember when this thing appeared here, He Yu had already reached out to take it, opened the seal, and pulled out a thin piece of paper inside.
In the next second, the alpha’s eyes suddenly stagnated, staring rigidly at the words printed on the paper, with a terribly gloomy expression.
The assistant’s heart skipped a beat, then he heard He Yu asked, “Where is he?”
“I… I’ll go find him now.”
Thump.
He Yu threw the crumpled documents aside, got up, and started looking for his communicator.
The paper fell to his feet, the assistant lowered his head and glanced at it, and found that the top line was a large character that reads, “Divorce Agreement”.
He immediately understood why He Yu’s face was so ugly.
What could be more maddening than waking up after being seriously injured to find that your wife ran away without notice, leaving behind a signed divorce agreement?
Countless possibilities flashed through the assistant’s mind, and his intuition told him that Zhou Mushi was not the kind of person who would run around casually. If there were any conflicts and dissatisfaction, he would resolve the other party as soon as possible. Now this is…… He thought of the omega’s state and performance in the past few days, he couldn’t help but wonder, maybe he’s terminally ill like in the TV series?
Feeling cold for a while, the assistant slapped himself in his head, turned around and saw the file bag on the bedside, then opened it unconvincingly and shook it upside down.
Something really fell out.
He looked at a rose petal that fell in the palm of his hand and asked strangely, “What is this?”
He Yu’s movement of operating the terminal stopped, turned his head to look over, his eyes fell on the red thing, and he paused for a moment.
His frowning brows gradually loosened, his eyes pondered deeply for a moment, and then he suddenly said, “Where’s my briefcase?”
“What briefcase?” The assistant blinked, reacted quickly and searched around the ward, and finally dragged out a dusty silver briefcase from under the bed. “Is this it?”
He Yu reached out and took it and put it on his lap. He first unlocked the first lock with his fingerprint and then pressed the string of familiar numbers on the combination lock.
It’s a date, engraved on his chest.
With a soft sound, the box opened.
On the outer compartment was still the stack of personal information that he hadn’t been able to take out at the beginning. He Yu glanced at it and put it aside, then opened the inner compartment.
There was originally a gun and two pairs of handcuffs inside, but now they are all gone, replaced by an old-fashioned data disk.
The assistant quickly found a smart brain and plugged it in. After connecting it to the terminal, a password input prompt appeared. He Yu pondered and repeated the same string of numbers again.
Wrong password.
He raised his eyebrow, and after a while, he added a ten to the first four digits indicating the year and entered again.
Correct password.
He Yu twisted his slightly sweaty fingertips and opened the data disk. After decoding, there were several file packages named by year. The most recent one was marked. After opening, there were a lot of business contracts, and audio and video materials of Cheng Huanqing inside, all of which were the evidence of the other party’s suspected crimes that Zhou Mushi had collected and sorted out.
Among them is the credential of property rights of a large enterprise, which was one of the organizers of the charity banquet funded not long ago. The information shows that this mining company is engaged in cross-border mineral trade on the surface, but in private it involves a large arms smuggling business, and their capital chain is extremely shady.
It is conceivable that if these things are announced to the world, Cheng Huanqing will not only fall from the throne of Secretary-General but also follow in the footsteps of Yu Chengshan and face prosecution by the Federal Prosecutor’s Office.
The assistant’s eyes lit up, but He Yu didn’t care about all of these. He stretched out his fingers to the next few file packages but stopped before clicking on them, and then closed the data disk.
The assistant was puzzled. “Open it, why don’t you open it?”
He Yu glanced at him coldly, his face stiff. He closed his mouth and lowered his head.
The terminal returned to its home screen. He Yu sat up and leaned on the headboard, squeezed his palm, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then reopened the real-time location tracking map.
After entering the locator code, it seemed like a century had passed in just a few seconds of loading. The screen was displayed, and unexpectedly, a bright red coordinate was glowing.
Fortunately, fortunately, the locator was not discovered, the assistant thought luckily.
The coordinate positions are displayed on a ring-shaped island not far from the coastline of the mainland, blinking at a constant speed.
“Purang Island?” the assistant asked, puzzled. “Why did he go here?”
The person next to him didn’t make a sound for a long time, he turned his head strangely and saw He Yu staring at the jumping bright dot on the map, it was unknown what he was thinking of, but the look in his eyes changed, and finally, he couldn’t help but bend the corners of his lips.
The alpha sat by the bed, lowered his sea-like eyes, and slowly laughed out loud.
The assistant’s face turned sluggish: It’s over, has my commander turned stupid?
