Rebirth: Different Way [(重生) 殊途]

Chapter 9

Shen Dehan's hospitalisation was originally a secret, but it was quickly discovered by well-informed reporters. As soon as Shen Dehan entered the hospital, a large number of reporters surrounded the hospital. Had the hospital not reacted quickly and dispatched a large number of security guards to keep the reporters away, the whole hospital would likely have been stirred up.

Despite the strict security measures, many reporters managed to sneak into the hospital with the intention of obtaining Shen Dehan's hospitalisation records.

If not everyone believed that Shen Dehan was seriously ill before, then the second hospitalisation within a short period of time added a heavy weight to the authenticity of the news. All of a sudden, various families in Zhongjing who had business dealings with the Shen family called to confirm Shen Dehan's condition. Although Shen Ji explained on the phone that his father was just overtired, they were still sceptical. After all, as the head of the Shen family, Shen Dehan and his condition were directly related to the rise and fall of the Shen family's stock price, and it was not impossible that his state of health was concealed in the eyes of the public for this reason.

After a round of phone calls, Shen Ji felt deeply powerless and his hatred for the person who broke the news also increased.

As the person who had caused Shen Ji's hatred, Shen Xi was also quite astonished. It was just an impromptu move to stimulate the crowd and he didn't expect the results to be so surprisingly good.

Shen Xi watched the various speculations of the reporters on TV regarding the consequences of Shen Dehan's hospitalisation on the Shen family and smiled slightly. Since everyone knew that he was back, it would be unreasonable not to play the role of a filial son of a doting father at this time.

Looking in the mirror to put on a sad face, Shen Xi ran out of the hotel anxiously and hurried to the hospital.

Shen Xi's arrival made the reporters at the hospital entrance very excited. Unfortunately, Shen Xi looked pale and concerned throughout the whole process and was not in the mood for an interview. As they watched Shen Xi hastily push through the crowd and rush into the hospital, many reporters were secretly surprised. It was no secret in Zhongjing that Shen Xi and his father were not getting along, but looking at Shen Xi's anxious expression, the reporters could not help but sigh in their hearts. No matter what, a father and a son were naturally related by blood and Shen Sanshao apparently had really grown up.

Shen Dehan's ward was arranged on the top floor, and Shen Ji had taken the liberty of reserving the entire top floor to avoid harassment from reporters and brought the family's bodyguards there.

When Shen Xi arrived at the top floor, all he saw was seven or eight men in black guarding the corridor vigilantly. The bodyguard closest to Shen Xi did not seem to know him and subconsciously wanted to come up to block his way, but another bodyguard stopped him.

"Sanshao!" The other bodyguard greeted in a low voice, and everyone in the corridor looked over with surprised expressions on their faces, clearly not expecting Shen Xi to appear here.

Shen Xi glanced over, ignoring everyone's surprise, walked to the ward with an unchanged expression and pushed the door in.

"Shen Xi!" Shen Cheng, who was closest to the door, was the first to shout out. He obviously did not know that Shen Xi had returned to Zhongjing and was currently looking shocked.

Shen Xi ignored him and instead turned his gaze to the centre of the ward. At this moment, there were quite a few people there, five or six doctors with nurses gathered together, doing various tests in an orderly manner. Because there were too many people, Shen Xi did not see his father. But he didn't think Shen Dehan would have any reaction to his arrival anyway; it seemed that he was unconscious at the moment.
