Nan Zhi buried her face against Mu Sihan’s chest, her eyes completely red as her blood surged within her. She couldn’t calm down no matter what.
However, she knew that the police had only made their conclusion with their preliminary investigations, and were not convicting her mother of forcing a college student forcefully!
To be honest, she did not understand why Ah Hua would leave that type of letter behind! But right now, the most important thing was that her mother was safe and sound!
Once her mother woke up, the truth would be out!
Mu Sihan hugged Nan Zhi tightly. She didn’t have a father and only had her mother, which was why their relationship had always been very close. If anything happened to An Feng, he didn’t know if Nan Zhi would be able to make it through the blow.
He could only hope that An Feng survived this ordeal safely!
They waited for nearly an hour before the lights to the surgery room dimmed.
A doctor wearing the surgery scrubs walked out and Nan Zhi ran over hurriedly, asking, “Doctor, how’s my mother?”
“Her situation is not too good. We will have to send her to the ICU later. If she doesn’t wake up within 48 hours, her life might be in danger.”
Hearing this, Nan Zhi felt her vision black out, her legs weakening as she almost collapsed to the floor. Mu Sihan hurriedly supported Nan Zhi by her shoulders, whispering softly, “Zhizhi, stay strong, there’s still hope.”
Nan Zhi nodded with bright eyes.
…
After An Feng was sent to the ICU, Nan Zhi wore the sanitized gown to go in to look at her. Meanwhile, Mu Sihan asked the doctor, “What’s the condition of that college student?”
“His condition is worse than the lady. Even if he wakes up, his brain functions may be affected as well.”
…
Helian Xiao had met with an old friend that night, only returning to his hotel at eight in the evening. He took out his phone, planning to call An Feng.
However, a news article popped up on his screen.
After reading the article, Helian Xiao also noticed the jade bangle the woman in the photo was wearing on her wrist. If he didn’t remember wrongly, An Feng had worn this.
She met with a college student in the afternoon and even forced him to burn charcoal to suicide?
What kind of nonsense was this?
Helian Xiao hurriedly called An Feng, but found that her phone was switched off. He then called Nan Zhi. After finding out that An Feng was in the hospital, Helian Xiao hurriedly left his room.
After he walked out of the elevator, he reached the main lobby shortly after and a pretty and dignified figure appeared in front of him.
“What a coincidence, you’re here at the Capital as well?”
Noting that it was Madam Ye, Helian Xiao nodded indifferently. “What a coincidence.”
“I also came to the Capital to settle some matters. It’s been so long since we met, do you have time for me to treat you to supper?” Madam Ye smiled prettily at Helian Xiao, adoration hidden in her eyes.
Helian Xiao rejected her politely, “I’m sorry, I still have some matters to settle.”
Before Madam Ye could say anything, Helian Xiao had already walked past her. His attitude towards her had always been like this, not too warm and not too cold. Actually, as long as he was willing to say something to her, she would be willing to throw away everything and follow him.
However, he had never even looked at her properly.
Madam Ye stared at his departing figure. Was he so rushed because he saw An Feng’s news and was going to the hospital to visit her?
On the way to the hospital, Helian Xiao received a call from the servants at home, telling him that Helian Zhu had committed suicide in the bathroom.
Helian Xiao furrowed his eyebrows, telling the servant that he would rush back as soon as possible before he hung up the call.
He went directly to the hospital first. After finding out that An Feng was still in the ICU, he went in to visit her briefly.
He didn’t believe what the news had reported.
An Feng hadn’t even fallen for him, nor had she given him the time of day, so why would she fall for a young and inexperienced boy? They even wrote that she had forced the boy to be her lover. With her personality that was as soft as a lamb, how would she force anyone to do something against their wishes?
Helian Xiao consoled Nan Zhi briefly before he rushed back to his country to visit Helian Zhu.
…
Because the news had already reported the incident, forcing the matter down would only result in worsening the matter.
Mu Sihan could only stop the news from spreading further. However, he didn’t know who revealed that the middle-aged lady who burned charcoal to attempt suicide was Nan Zhi’s mother, the King’s future mother-in-law.
If it was a normal person, the matter could be suppressed very quickly. However, because of that revelation, it immediately became an explosive news on the internet. The comments seemed to fall towards one side, all against An Feng.
[It’s too much! An old woman in her forties still want to eat young grass and forced a nice youngster to burn charcoal and suicide. It’s easy to tell how mean she is to the youngster usually!]
[She must have used her status as the King’s future mother-in-law to force the university student. People like her have to go to the eighteenth level of Hell even if they die!]
[This type of news are unprecedented! If the future Princess-Consort’s mother is like this, if we let her daughter marry into the Royal family, she’ll definitely continue to harm many youngsters!]
[Oh my god, I’m so scared! University students who are young and handsome must be careful when they walk on the streets in the future. An old lady might take a liking to you and then she’ll take your lives!]
[We must make the King explain to us. Even if a Prince had committed a crime, he would still be the same as everyone else in front of the law. The King cannot protect her just because she is his mother-in-law!]
[Yes, yes, yes! The evil would receive their retribution! The King must give all the university students an explanation!]
Nan Zhi was sitting outside of the ICU as she read the comments under the article. As expected, all of them were scolding her mother viciously.
This matter had pushed Mu Sihan and her to the front of all of the attention.
Mu Sihan was making a call in front of the window at the end of the corridor. After he hung up, he walked over and when he saw Nan Zhi reading those comments, he wasted no time in taking her phone away immediately.
He sat next to her, holding her cold hand tightly.
“Zhizhi, Mom will wake up. However, before she wakes up, let’s settle this storm for her first.”
Nan Zhi turned her head, her eyes meeting Mu Sihan’s black and deep eyes. She sniffled, forcing herself to calm down. “Alright.”
Mu Sihan turned on his phone and opened a photo Yi Fan had just sent him. “This is the call record Mom had in the past month that Yi Fan found.”
Mu Sihan pointed at one of the numbers on the record. “This is Ah Hua’s number. In the past month, Mom only contacted him in the last few days. Before that, they hadn’t been in contact for a long time already.”
Nan Zhi glanced at Mu Sihan, knowing that he still had something to say, so she didn’t interrupt him. The two of them already had a certain level of chemistry with each other.
“Take a look at this number next.” Mu Sihan pointed at another number. “This is a call Mom received in the morning. Do you know where this number is from?”
Nan Zhi shook her head.
“The paternity testing center.”
Nan Zhi was shocked.
“After Mom received this call, I got someone to check the surveillance cameras. She went to the paternity testing center in the morning and I’ve already gotten someone to find what Mom had received from the center. After Mom left the center, she received a call from Ah Hua in the afternoon.”
Mu Sihan stared at Nan Zhi, his dark eyes glinting with intelligence. “Zhizhi, think carefully. Why would Mom go to the paternity testing center and why would she contact Ah Hua so frequently in the past few days?”
