Saving the Second Male Lead: What to Do When You Enter a Domineering Boss's Novel

"As asked me to come." Xiu Rui's voice was hoarse.

"Where is he? Is he safe? I called him many times but he didn't answer."

"He lost his phone, and the company sent him on a business trip to South City. Before he left, I was asked to tell you, but I've been busy, so I only have time to tell you now."

In the end, he followed Zhu Qingsi's advice and decided to keep it a secret from Qiao Yisha.

"Then when will he come back?"

"Not sure... maybe three months at the earliest."

"Okay." Joysa nodded.

Xiu Rui stood up. "By the way, he also asked me to tell you that you must be careful when you go out. You must not take it lightly at any time. Nothing is more important than life. Also, he always keeps your affairs in mind."

"Well, I see."

"I've got your message. I'm leaving now," Xiu Rui held out his hand. "Give me your phone. I'll leave you a number. You can always contact me if you need anything in the future."

Joysa handed him the phone, and Xiu Rui returned it to her after entering the number and left.

As soon as Shuri left the house, Joysa put on her coat, mask and wig as quickly as possible.

She didn't believe that Zhu Qingsi was really like Xiu Rui said. Something must have happened to him and they were hiding it from her.

When she went downstairs, Xiu Rui's car was not far away.

Qiao Yisha stopped a car and said to the driver, "Follow the black SUV in front. Don't let him see you."

The driver may have experienced such things many times, so he didn't ask any questions and started the car and followed.

Three hours later, Xiu Rui's car drove into a nursing home in the south city area.

Qiaoisha paid the driver the fare and followed closely behind.

Xiu Rui pushed open the door of a room, and the chandelier on the ceiling illuminated the large white bed.

On it lay a pale young man.

Because the slightly curly hair was lying flat, it all fell to the back of the head, revealing a smooth and three-dimensional forehead.

When Xiu Rui saw the person on the bed, his heart ached and his mood, which had just calmed down, became excited again.

With red eyes, she walked to the bedside and said, "Ash, I know you are worried about Isa. I just went to see her for you. She is fine, but she is worried about you. So, wake up early."

"Also, I will never let go of anyone who hurt you."

"Who hurt him?"

The door was pushed open and a cold female voice was heard.

Xiu Rui turned around and was stunned when he saw Qiao Yisha in disguise.

"You..." He immediately thought that Joysa came with him.

She pretended to believe him and followed him secretly, and ended up here.

Joysa closed the door and walked over, taking off her mask.

Seeing Zhu Qingsi lying unconscious on the bed, "How is Asi doing now?"

Xiu Rui originally thought she would burst into tears, but she was so calm. "She has a head injury. Although she is out of danger, she won't wake up for a while."

"That means he won't die, right?"

"No." Xiu Rui said firmly.

"That's good." Qiao Yisha held Zhu Qingsi's hand and realized that there were thin calluses on the palms of Zhu Qingsi's hands, as if they were caused by long-term work, which was not consistent with his pampered temperament and appearance.

Qiao Yisha touched Zhu Qingsi's bloodless face, and a tear fell uncontrollably from her eyes, which she immediately wiped away.

He stood up, his aura calm and gloomy.

"What did you mean by the person who hurt him?"

"You don't need to know this, I'll take care of it." Xiu Rui refused to answer her.

"He is your friend and mine as well. He is lying here now and I can't do nothing."

"Just live your life well and work hard. This is the best way to make him feel at ease."

Qiaoisha took out her cell phone and made a call. After the call was connected, she briefly expressed her purpose.

“Hi, I want to quit.”

"Personal matter, thank you, bye."

Xiu Rui was too late to stop him, "Isha, what are you...doing?"

“Free up your time to do more important things.”

"what?"

"Tell me, what happened?"

Xiu Rui shook his head, "I promised Asi that I would not let you worry and would not drag you into danger. Don't ask anymore."

"I'm not as vulnerable as you think. This is the nth time he's been injured. I live in his house and enjoy his protection. It's time for me to protect him."

Qiao Yisha said firmly: "I have made up my mind. Even if you don't tell me, I will find out for myself."

"If you knew it, it would only cause more trouble. Can you still seek revenge?"

"Don't worry about what I'm going to do. Just tell me so that I can be at ease. I don't want to be kept in the dark."

Xiu Rui glanced at Zhu Qingsi lying on the bed and smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry, Asi, I really can't hide it anymore, and besides..."

It would be good to let Qiao Yisha know what Zhu Qingsi has done for her.

Xiu Rui told her everything that happened after Zhu Qingsi was captured by the Hill family.

The second day after Zhu Qingsi arrived in Hell City was the first day he officially joined the [Bloody Association].

This was also the condition that the Bloody Association agreed to help him escape from the Hill family.

If the association hadn't intervened, he wouldn't have gotten away so easily.

The [Bloody Association], as the name suggests, is an association that solves everything with blood.

There are countless such associations in Hell City.

Ever since Zhu Qingsi found out that Qiao Yisha was being hunted, he would investigate the matter during every mission.

He wanted Joysa to be free, no longer have to wear a mask and live in fear.

For this matter, Zhu Qingsi would rush around whenever he had free time, and sometimes he would even pay attention during a mission.

As it turned out, his efforts were rewarded.

Five days ago, an investigation revealed that the truth might be found in the association's president.

Due to his outstanding performance, the president agreed to meet with him.

Zhu Qingsi discussed the matter with the president, hoping to get his help.

The president readily agreed and said he would inform him if there were any clues.

Zhu Qingsi told Xiu Rui the good news, and then they both left the association.

"And then?" Qiaoisha asked, "What happened afterwards? He didn't come home. Who hurt him like this?"

"Not long after we separated, I received a call from him. I was surprised because before we separated, he said he was going to buy coconuts."

"coconut?"

Qiaosha was stunned. She suddenly remembered that she seemed to have mentioned that she wanted to eat coconut a few days ago.

Even she herself had forgotten it, but Zhu Qingsi actually remembered it.

But Hell City never sees sunlight all year round, so naturally grown coconut trees cannot survive, even artificially planted ones.

Therefore, tropical fruits like coconuts are very rare in Hell City, but there is still a way to deal with it.
