Qiao Yiyi stood rooted to the ground, staring at Qiao Lian questioningly, her authority completely overpowered.
She gulped before she finally said, “What- what do you mean?”
“You know very well what I mean! I think you know very well who sent the men. I don’t need to spell it out to you, do I?”
Qiao Yiyi retreated a step as her pupils shrank. She started to stammer, “What- what are you saying? I don’t understand—”
“Don’t understand? Then I think Qiao Zhigang would!”
Since they were captured right up to this moment, Qiao Lian had been trying to figure out who might have done this to her.
After eliminating all possibilities, there was only one person, Qiao Zhigang.
And when Shen Liangchuan spoke with the police, it seemed like someone had admitted that they had acted under Qiao Zhigang’s instructions.
She could almost be certain now that Qiao Zhigang was behind this.
She looked at Qiao Yiyi with disappointment and sadness. The woman was obviously panicking as she took a step backwards and said, “I’ve said it, I don’t know what you’re talking about!”
Then she spun around and ran out.
She had to look for Dad quickly. Now that the matter had blown up, Qiao Lian knew!
If the people at the police station spilled the beans, that would be the end of her dad.
Qiao Yiyi ran out of the hospital in a panic.
–
In the hospital, Dad Lu stared at Qiao Lian in shock. “You mean…”
Ignoring the man, Qiao Lian sat back down on her wheelchair.
This man had killed her parents, she had no regard for him.
Dad Lu was unfazed by Qiao Lian giving him the cold shoulder. He walked to the chairs on the side and sat down quietly, waiting for news about Lu Nanze’s operation.
Qiao Lian pursed her lips, suddenly upset.
Lu Nanze, nothing must happen to you!
Then she said a quiet prayer for him in her heart.
Shen Liangchuan looked at Qiao Lian as he stood beside her. Although feeling a little jealous still, when he recalled how Lu Nanze had shielded his wife and taken the blows for her, those feelings vanished.
No matter how much he had hated the man, now he prayed sincerely that Lu Nanze would be alright.
He hoped that Lu Nanze would make it through with no mishaps.
The people outside fell silent at once and continued to stare at the operating theater.
After some time, the door of the operating theater swung open.
The people surged forward. Because Qiao Lian was feeling unwell and in a wheelchair, she was unable to react quickly. Dad Lu was the first to reach Lu Nanze’s bedside. He looked at the nurse anxiously and asked, “Doctor, how is my son?”
“Mr. Lu is out of danger, he’s suffered serious injuries and needs to be hospitalised till his bones heal.”
“Sure, sure, that’s not a problem! He’ll stay in the hospital, he’ll stay.”
Dad Lu’s eyes were reddened as he followed the trolley bed.
Qiao Lian followed in her wheelchair till she was at the ward’s door. Once she saw that they had settled Lu Nanze, she looked up and tried to catch a nurse to ask a few questions, when Shen Liangchuan spoke, “When will he wake up?”
“In about five hours.”
The doctor explained, “The anaesthesia hasn’t worn off yet.”
Five hours later.
Lu Nanze regained consciousness. He saw Qiao Lian when he turned his head and immediately grabbed her hand, asking, “Qiao Lian, have you got your memory back?”
