When Shuxin and Tong Qiao arrived at the Tong family home, it was already past noon.
Xia Daiyun's eyes reddened when she saw Tong Qiao when she opened the door. She called out, "Qiao 'er!" When she saw Shuxin standing behind Tong Qiao, she suppressed her emotions. "Qiao' er, this is …"
"Mom, this is Shuxin. I often talk about her in front of you," Tong Qiao introduced.
Shuxin greeted her politely. "Hello, Auntie Xia."
"Hello." Xia Daiyun hurriedly invited Shuxin into the house. "You haven't eaten yet, right? I asked the housekeeper to prepare some food. Go wash your faces first and we can eat in a while."
While Shuxin and Tong Qiao were eating, Xia Daiyun sat beside them. Perhaps because she saw that Shuxin was present, she did not mention anything about Tong Wenbin. She only absent-mindedly asked Shuxin to eat.
When they were almost done eating, the phone in the living room rang. Xia Daiyun seemed to have been waiting for a call. When she heard the phone ring, she hurriedly got up to answer it. "… Xiao Li, how is it … What? This … this case is going to be settled … Wenbin will never … "
Bang!
Before Xia Daiyun could finish his words, his vision went black and he fainted. His body fell to the sofa beside him.
"Mom … What happened to you …" Tong Qiao hurriedly threw down her chopsticks and ran to the living room. She frantically hugged Xia Daiyun, who had fainted on the sofa. Her voice was filled with tears. "Mom … Don't scare me … Wake up …"
Shuxin hurriedly ordered the housekeeper, who had heard the commotion, to run over. "Quickly ask the driver to prepare the car to go to the hospital."
"Okay." The housekeeper hurriedly ran out to call the driver.
After a while, Shuxin accompanied Tong Qiao and Xia Daiyun to the hospital.
It was an hour later when Xia Daiyun was placed in the ward.
From Xia Daiyun's brief conversation on the phone, Shuxin knew that Tong Wenbin's case was about to be finalized. It had only been half a day. How could the investigation be completed so quickly?
This speed was abnormally fast.
Shuxin got up and walked over to Tong Qiao, who was sitting by the bed. She put her hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently. "You have to be strong. Your mother needs you now. If she wakes up and sees you like this, she will be even sadder."
Tong Qiao was stunned for a moment. She hurriedly wiped away the tears on her face and sat up straight. "Yes, I can't fall."
"Who just called you?" Shuxin asked.
"Li Yang, my father's assistant," Tong Qiao replied.
"Is his information reliable?"
"He's reliable. He's always been working under my father. He's one of my father's favorite juniors."
"Will he harm your father?"
"He won't." Tong Qiao answered without thinking. "He was brought up by my father. He has an upright character and is honest. He even respectfully calls my father his teacher."
"Okay." Shuxin hesitated for a moment and asked, "Qiao 'er, do you trust me?"
"Yes." Tong Qiao's slightly red eyes expressed her unconditional trust in Shuxin.
Shuxin said with a serious expression, "Then you stay here and take good care of your mother. Leave your father's matter to me."
"But you …"
"Trust me, okay?" Shuxin held Tong Qiao's hand with a firm expression.
Tong Qiao and Shuxin looked at each other for a moment and nodded. "Okay."
"Then give Li Yang a call and ask him to come to the hospital to pick me up." Although Shuxin knew that Du Guohua had framed Tong Wenbin, she only knew the result and didn't know the process. She had to understand the ins and outs of the matter as soon as possible to come up with a solution.
