Perhaps it was because Shang Yao’s embrace felt too safe, Song Si fell asleep in his arms not long after.
When she woke up again, the two of them were still hugging each other.
Song Si looked up and realized that Shang Yao had already woken up. He was looking at her with a beautiful smile.
He asked, “You’re awake?”
Song Si nodded. She was a little embarrassed. She immediately looked away and got out of bed.
Shang Yao found it a little difficult to get up. His arm… was numb.
Song Si happened to turn around and saw that Shang Yao’s arm, which she had been pressing against the entire night, was very stiff. She instantly understood what was going on.
She helped Shang Yao massage his arm and said apologetically, “I’m sorry for making your arm numb.”
Shang Yao looked at her affectionately. “It’s okay. I like the feeling of being pressed down by you.”
Song Si was already shy to begin with. When she heard him say that, her face immediately turned red.
Shang Yao was amused by her expression. He was about to kiss her when his phone rang.
He frowned in displeasure, while Song Si smiled smugly. “Answer it quickly. It’s so early. Maybe it’s something urgent.”
Shang Yao stood up impatiently and took the phone from the bedside table. He answered the call. “Hello.”
His tone was not very good at first, but as he listened, his brows relaxed.
“Alright, I understand. Continue investigating. We have to catch that person.”
Shang Yao hung up after saying this.
Song Si seemed to understand that it had something to do with her mother and asked curiously, “What’s wrong?”
Shang Yao put down his phone and said, “There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that after Dr. Luo Zhi’s emergency treatment, your mother’s vital signs have stabilized. She might wake up soon.”
This was indeed good news. Song Si’s heart, which was suspended for the entire night, finally relaxed.
She clutched her heart and heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank God!”
She paused and asked, “What’s the bad news?”
“The bad news is that the attending physician who was previously in charge of treating your mother escaped before our people could capture him. We don’t know where he is now.”
Shang Yao’s expression was slightly serious.
“It’s very likely that he was bribed by the Song family to deliberately harm my mother. When you helped my mother handle the transfer, he knew that the matter might be exposed, so he ran away in advance. Why don’t we call the police to arrest him?”
Song Si suggested anxiously.
“No, calling the police will definitely alert the real culprit and make them take precautions. I’ll send someone to secretly track down that person’s whereabouts. Let’s catch him first.”
Shang Yao had already made up his mind.
Song Si thought about it and agreed with Shang Yao’s plan. “You have a point. I was too rash.
“When we catch that person and get evidence that the Song family harmed my mother, we can tear apart the Song family’s hypocritical facade and let the world know how vicious they are.”
Song Si wished she could send Lin Qin and the rest to jail right now, but they were so cunning. Before she could get concrete evidence, she could not act rashly.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make it happen.”
Shang Yao promised Song Si.
Song Si nodded heavily, her eyes filled with determination.
Shang Yao held Song Si’s shoulders. “Alright, don’t worry too much. You still have to work at Jiang Dong Corporation today.
“It’s not convenient for me to appear in public now, so I might not be able to accompany you. However, I’ve called Li He over. He’s very capable and can help you.”
Song Si pulled his hand down and refused, saying, “I appreciate your kindness, but there’s really no need. I have to grow up on my own. I can’t always rely on you.”
“But…”
Shang Yao wanted to persuade her, but she interrupted him.

Song Si said, “No buts. I need to improve myself. Don’t treat me like a child. When I need your help, I’ll definitely tell you.”
“Alright.”
Shang Yao knew that Song Si was stubborn, so he did not persuade her anymore.
He realized that Song Si was not a weak little girl. Song Si had her own thoughts. She was also tenacious and courageous.
Shang Yao admired her character.
