He sat in the car, and when he started the engine, he noticed that his hands were still trembling. It was impossible for him to drive normally like this, so he simply lit a cigarette and quickly finished it. The taste of nicotine hovered on the tip of his tongue, gradually calming him down. Guan Chao quickly arranged everything and told him that if he went to the airport now, he could directly board the plane when he arrived. However, other things couldn't be resolved so quickly, so he only contacted the people in City C.
"… What did they say?"
Liang Feifan calmed down a lot. When he spoke, his voice had returned to its usual calmness. He stepped on the accelerator and controlled the steering wheel as he asked, "Where is she now?"
"… Mr. Liang, I only contacted the people over there. They said that Ms. Bai met … Ms. Liang today. Then, there was an accident at the entrance of the hospital, but it wasn't very serious. She was … splashed with red paint."
Liang Feifan's eyes suddenly narrowed. "What did you say?"
Liang Jingxiao?
"Jingxiao went to City C to meet her?"
"Yes, but what we can't confirm at the moment is whether this incident has anything to do with Ms. Liang. We only know that it happened very suddenly. Ms. Bai should have gotten out of Ms. Liang's car and suddenly been splashed with red paint at the entrance of the hospital."
Liang Feifan gripped the steering wheel so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were popping out. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, "Did you catch the culprit?"
"… I'm sorry, Mr. Liang. It happened too suddenly, and the culprit probably came prepared. When Ms. Bai fainted, the culprit had already escaped," Guan Chao said in a trembling voice, probably because he sensed the call. The man on the other end of the line was breathing a little faster. He quickly added, "… But Mr. Liang, there's a CCTV at the entrance of the hospital. It should be possible to find the culprit. I'll contact the police station in City C right away. "
Liang Feifan only asked one question. "Which hospital?"
Guan Chao said the name of a hospital, and Liang Feifan hung up immediately. As he spoke, he threw his phone on the passenger seat. The car quickly entered the city's highway. He stepped on the accelerator, and the road was unimpeded. He ran several red lights, and when he arrived at the airport, he was shocked to find that he did not bring anything and could not board the plane at all. Although the airport staff knew him, they still did things step by step. Some people did not dare to offend him, so they said that they wanted to find the person in charge. Liang Feifan weighed the pros and cons in his heart. Instead of going through all this trouble, he might as well drive to City C directly on the highway. He left the group of people behind and got back into his car, choosing to take the highway.
…
C City.
Bai Lu lay on the VIP hospital bed. He could still smell the paint on his body.
Just now, she was answering Liang Feifan's call. Before she could say anything, she felt something coming at her fiercely. Her breath was still stuck in her throat, and in the next second, the familiar and pungent smell at the tip of her nose made her dizzy. But of course, there was no way she could withstand such a big bucket of bright red paint coming at her. Fortunately, she was standing on flat ground, so when she fell, it wasn't too serious, but the skin on her elbow was still scraped. After that, the hospital staff immediately took her to the emergency room to clean the paint off her body.
The police had already investigated this matter. Bai Lu was actually fine physically, but she was indeed traumatized psychologically.
In all her years, this was the first time she had encountered something like this.
However, she still didn't know who did it. After she woke up, the people at the police station gave her a simple statement and told her to wait for news.
After about two hours, the hospital staff pushed open the door and came in. Previously, because they were worried that there might be poisonous substances in the paint, during the inspection, they tested Bai Lu's blood. Now that the report was out, a doctor in a white coat came in and politely called her, "Miss Bai."
"The report is out. There shouldn't be any major problems, but Miss Bai …"
When Bai Lu heard the doctor say "but," her heart leaped into her throat. She was actually a little afraid of places like the hospital, but a year ago, she was also lying in the hospital. In the end, she was quarantined. Even though she had recovered in the end, this psychological trauma had always accompanied her.
This time, she was obviously splashed with paint for no reason. Someone must be trying to frame her.
She didn't know who that person was, but since she came to City C, she couldn't possibly offend anyone. In her heart, she thought of two people — one was Liang Jingxiao, and the other was from the Family Ye.
Other than them, there couldn't be anyone else. So to be honest, she was very afraid that she would be hurt.
"… Doctor, I-I'm okay, right? I was really scared just now. It was too sudden, so after I was splashed with paint, I fainted. I don't know what happened after that, I … "
"Miss Bai, don't be nervous. It's okay. There's no other problem with your body. We've already checked. There's no other substance in the paint, but … did you know that you're pregnant?"
Bai Lu's heart trembled. Her fingers, which were originally clutching the hospital gown, suddenly tightened. She almost instinctively opened her mouth as if she couldn't react for a moment. However, this "accident" seemed to be within her expectations.
"… I-I'm pregnant?"
"Yes, Miss Bai. You've been pregnant for three and a half weeks. Based on the current situation, the fetus is very healthy. However, we've looked at your medical records. It seems that you've had a miscarriage before, and your body's functions aren't very good. Miss Bai, may I ask why you had a miscarriage before?"
…
Bai Lu's heart trembled. She instinctively grabbed the bedsheets under her body. Her eyes flickered around, and the expression on her face was uneasy.
She knew her own physical condition. SARS had caused her to lose too many things. Of course, she also knew very well that her body's condition wasn't as good as it used to be. Fortunately, she was still young. After she went to England, there was a period of time when Liang Feifan had been looking for the best doctors to help her with all kinds of counseling and exercise. However, that kind of illness couldn't be underestimated. Just as the doctor said now, her body's functions weren't as good as it used to be.
…
However, she was pregnant. She had a baby again. God was still kind to her. She really … had a baby.
Her hands unconsciously covered her lower abdomen. It was still flat, and she couldn't feel anything. However, at this moment, she had a very strange feeling —
As a mother, she could feel her child in her stomach, and their blood was mixed together …
Baby, this time, mother will definitely protect you well. I definitely won't let you come to any harm.
"… Will it affect me?"
Bai Lu calmed her emotions and slowly raised her head. After she suddenly contracted SARS a year ago, she wasn't very clear about many things that happened after that because those things were handled by Liang Feifan. Of course, it was impossible for her not to know that a highly infectious and dangerous virus like SARS would definitely cause a certain amount of panic. She was able to go abroad so quietly, and nothing happened until now. Liang Feifan must have done a lot in the middle.
Moreover, the doctor who treated her back then was a well-known hospital director in City A. If she said anything now, it would definitely have a certain impact. Bai Lu carefully weighed the situation before finally saying, "… It's a normal situation. I was pregnant for about four months before I lost the child …"
"Induce. Induce? "
"…" Bai Lu frowned. Speaking of the child who unfortunately died prematurely, there was always a knot in her heart that couldn't be removed. Now that she heard the word "induce", her heart unconsciously tightened.
"… Doctor, just tell me directly. Will it affect me?"
"Miss Bai, don't worry. Actually, your physical fitness is generally good. We're just following protocol to understand your situation. "
The doctor's eyes were always smiling as he put away the medical records in his hands. His attitude towards Bai Lu was always respectful. "… Mr. Liang contacted us about an hour ago. He knows that you're staying in our hospital and asked us to take good care of you. As for your pregnancy … We haven't informed Mr. Liang yet. I think it's better for Miss Bai to tell Mr. Liang this personally. Miss Bai, rest well. If there's anything else, ask the nurse to inform me. I'll go down first."
Liang Feifan was here?
…
Bai Lu's hand that was pressing on her abdomen slightly tightened, and her heart that had been hanging in the air quietly fell to the ground.
He was here. She could feel at ease. She would tell him that she was pregnant with his child …
Just thinking about this made Bai Lu's heart uncontrollably excited.
City A, in a hotel suite.
The man stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with his hands behind his back. Soon, there was a knock on the door behind him. He pinched out the cigarette between his fingers and slowly turned around. It was his assistant who walked in and nodded slightly at him.
"President Ye."
"How's the matter?"
Ye Zijie's deep voice was especially tense. His hands behind his back were tightly clenched, and his ten fingers were slightly bent, fiddling with each other from time to time. There was a calculating light in his deep eyes. He made a solemn vow.
"President Ye, according to your previous instructions, after Miss Liang Jingxiao left, our people immediately splashed red paint. Bai Lu is fine, but she was a little shocked. She's now in the hospital. Liang Feifan has already rushed over as soon as possible. He drove there on the highway."
Ye Zijie nodded. "Very good. From now on, follow the plan. Don't make any mistakes. In three days, I want to see her in my hands. Do you understand?"
"Yes, President Ye. We'll definitely do it well!"
"You're dismissed!"
…
The room quieted down again. Ye Zijie walked to his desk and sat in his office chair. Then, he took out his phone. The screensaver of his phone was a photo of himself and Ye Lian. The photo was taken three years ago. At that time, Ye Lian was still full of youthfulness. When he thought about his daughter, who needed someone to look after her every day, his heart ached.
