return of the king

"you're awake?"

After Zhou Lixi left, Xie Pangde came in and kept watch.

In order to get tens of millions of research funds at once, it is not a problem for him to be a male nurse and guard Cao Zuo for a while.

"Are you... where am I..."

As he spoke, Cao Zuo wanted to get up, but was stopped by Xie Pangde.

"Don't get out of bed, you are still injured, you have to lie on the bed and rest for two or three days."

Cao Zuo looked around, the equipment was almost completely white, and the air still had the smell of disinfectant that is often found in hospitals.

Obviously, this is a hospital.

Realizing that he was in the hospital, Cao Zuo immediately tensed up.

"Why am I here?!"

Did they already know about him being intersex and being pregnant?

Xie Pangde explained: "It was Mr. Zhou Lixi who sent you here. As far as I know, he carried you from the top floor of the 36th floor of Zhou's headquarter building and ran down the stairs."

Xie Pangde thought that he was still helping Zhou Lixi to say good things, so it's time for him to process money for him.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you don't know one thing yet."

Cao Zuo snorted coldly, without any intention of thanking Zhou Lixi.

"what's up?"

Xie Pangde wondered, the child's "mother" didn't seem to like the appearance of the child's father.

"He caused me to fall down the stairs. He pulled me and made me fall down the stairs. It is only his responsibility to save me! If he doesn't save me, he is a murderer!!"

Cao Zuo wondered if Zhou Lixi had discovered that he was the one who leaked the Zhou family's secrets, so he deliberately hurt him like this.

"This one……"

Sheppard was speechless.

He never imagined that the truth was actually like this.

But judging from Zhou Lixi's nervousness towards Cao Zuo, it seems that it's not just the reason Cao Zuo said, but he thinks that love has more emotional factors.

"Don't be angry, you should not be angry in your current situation."

Seeing Cao Zuo gnashing his teeth in anger, Xie Pangde persuaded.

Xie Pangde's words reminded Cao Zuo of his two secrets that could not be revealed. Now that he is in the hospital, has the secret been known?

"I, I...I want to ask..."

Cao Zuo hesitated to speak.

"Ask whatever you want, and I will answer whatever you can."

Sheppang deliberately said something ambiguous.

This sentence has two meanings.First, "able to answer" may remind people of what he knows, which means that he will answer everything he knows and can answer.Second, there are some things that cannot be said, but he will say what can be said.

With Xie Pangde's guarantee, Cao Zuo still didn't dare to ask the questions in his heart casually.

He thought, if this person is someone who doesn't know these two secrets, once he tells it, won't one more person know it?

Therefore, he first asked Sheppang's identity.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"Pfft~"

Xie Pangde couldn't help laughing, the other party hesitated for so long, just because of this question?

"I am the director of this hospital. I am your attending physician at Zhou Lixi's 'request' to take care of you."

"So, you were the one who saw me when I was sent to this hospital?"

Cao Zuo probed.

Since he is the attending physician, he should be able to diagnose his pregnancy.

"You want to ask about your current condition. You have seven stitches on your head, which is considered disfigured. If you care about this scar, I can perform surgery to remove it after you recover."

But Zhou Lixi had to allocate another few hundred and 1000 million to him as funding.

"No, I don't need to."

Cao Zuo didn't care about this.

Seeing Cao Zuo's embarrassment, Xie Pangde finally understood what he wanted to say after going around a lot.

"I see. In fact, you want to ask me if I know..."

Speaking of this, Xie Pangde stopped, deliberately whetting Cao Zuo's appetite.

"what do you know?"

Cao Zuo was very panicked, his hands under the quilt were tightly clenched into fists.

"Knowing about you being intersex, knowing about you...knowing that you're pregnant."

Xie Pangde finally realized his conscience and stopped playing.

Cao Zuo was stunned, then panicked, and then he seemed to accept the reality and lay down on the hospital bed.

"Looking at you, did you know you were pregnant?"

This was the first thing Zhou Lixi asked Xie Pangde to do, to test whether Cao Zuo knew about his pregnancy, and make sure to tell Cao Zuo about the pregnancy.

"I know about my pregnancy, I wonder how many people know about these two things?"

Cao Zuo asked worriedly.

"Not many, one doctor, five nurses, and me as the attending physician. But don't worry, the doctors and nurses in our hospital are tight-lipped, they won't spread the word, otherwise you wouldn't be able to stay here peacefully."

In fact, it was Zhou Lixi who paid a lot of hush money.

Since more secrecy can be obtained, they will naturally not spread it.With lures and threats, no matter how courageous they are, they dare not make fun of their own money.

But what made Xie Pangde very dissatisfied was that he had no hush money because of the tens of millions of funds sponsored by Zhou Lixi, and Zhou Lixi was stingy in paying him the hush money without such a deceit!

"So... so he also knew?" Cao Zuo said with a look of despair.

He was talking about Zhou Lixi.

"Who is 'he'? Who do you want to know?"

Sheppang asked knowingly.

"The person who sent me here, does he know about my pregnancy?"

Cao Zuo finally went all out to ask this question.

"Oh, you mean him."

He knows it!

But Sheppard couldn't say the same.

"No matter how he looks at you, he doesn't look like a relative to you. Since he is not a relative, of course we will not easily disclose your news to him."

Sheppang looked like an upright doctor.

Hearing that Zhou Lixi didn't know that she was pregnant, Cao Zuo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately beamed with joy.

Sheppang thought for a while, and said, "He doesn't know now, but I'm afraid that I'll think about it all day, and I'll be bored, and I might slip up when I don't know."

If Zhou Lixi didn't pay him the hush money, then he would have to ask another victim to pay.

"Then how do you keep your mouth shut?"

Cao Zuo reacted immediately, knowing that Xie Pangde had conditions to help him keep it secret, so he said that he was ready to raise conditions.

"I have a project here, and it's going to cost millions. With a few million funds, I can work on this project, so that I can be distracted and stop thinking about it. Maybe I'm doing it Project, I forgot about it within a few days." Sheppang said with a philistine face.

He didn't know Cao Zuo's identity, so he didn't know if Cao Zuo could provide more money, so he didn't dare to say too much.

Cao Zuo said indifferently: "You get out the project plan, and I will sign it for you, so that your project can start as soon as possible."

"Okay, it's still early, I'll bring the proposal in the afternoon."

Ouye, this way he can get several million more, but unfortunately he was talking about several million at that time, or maybe Cao Zuo could give him tens of millions.

Sheppang regretted that he said the number was short.

He who "eat two meals" did not apologize at all.

"There is another doctor and five nurses. How much do they charge for silence?"

Since the attending doctor is this kind of thing, other people will also have to be bought with money.

"That's not necessary. They all participate in research projects, so they don't need to pay extra."

Don't think that Xie Pangde's conscience broke out. In fact, he was reluctant to give them money, so the next sentence was his focus.

"If you want to give them money, just raise the program funding and they'll be happy."

After all, he planned to get the money of the other six people into his own hands.

There is nothing to say about Xie Pangde's medical skills, but he is a bit brazen in order to raise research fees for the male and female research projects.

"Okay, I'll allocate 1000 million yuan to you. I paid a high confidentiality fee. In contrast, if my secret is leaked, I will make you pay ten times the price!"

Cao Zuo said with stern eyes, his aura was no less than that of Zhou Lixi when he threatened them.

"I understand this."

He ate two meals, if he failed to keep it secret, he would have to pay an irreparable price for two!

"You go out first, I want to sleep."

Cao Zuo drove them away, he didn't want to see Xie Pangde's disgusting look of profit-seeking again.

"Okay, I'll be on guard at the door, call me if you need something. The nurse will bring in food later, and you have to eat it no matter how uncomfortable you are. This is for the sake of your health and the baby in your belly." Sheppang reminded.

He thought that since Cao Zuo cared about the child, as long as the child was moved out, he would definitely listen to him and eat.
