Listening to the little one’s straightforward complint, Gu Jin’s face lit up with a bright smile, "Such sweet words, did you sneak so honey today?"
Saying this, she stepped forward to take a sniff.
This action was too close, so close that An Mingji’s heartbeat beca a bit irregular, and he uncontrollably stepped back.
Gu Jin didn’t mind; she casually grabbed the keys from the table behind him and turned on her heels towards the door.
"We have a little over half an hour left; we need to hurry up. Being late is very impolite."
"Coming!"
An Mingji snapped back to reality, gently rubbed his chest, adjusted his expression, and quickened his pace to catch up.
...
Lying on the hospital bed, Qiu Qianghai, bearing a splitting headache, opened his confused eyes.
He saw his charming and elegant sister sitting by his side, a slight daze in his eyes.
When Qiu Qingyun saw him open his eyes, her face imdiately showed a look of surprise.
She stood up and leaned closer to the bed, speaking in a low trembling voice, "Xiao Hai, you’re awake? Is there anywhere you feel uncomfortable?"
Without waiting for Qiu Qianghai to speak, she instructed the guard next to her, "Quickly go fetch the doctor. Xiao Hai is awake; have them co for a check-up."
"Yes, madam."
The guard turned and quickly left.
Qiu Qianghai gently turned his head, feeling dizzy and lightheaded, accompanied by unbearable pain.
"Hiss..." he couldn’t help but cry out in pain.
Qiu Qingyun imdiately stopped his movent, her voice stern, "Xiao Hai, don’t move recklessly. The injury on your head is severe; wait until the doctors have completed their examination."
Qiu Qianghai obediently stopped moving, his voice weak, "Sis, I’m not dead?"
Just this one sentence made Qiu Qingyun tear up again.
She lovingly held her brother’s hand, her voice gentle, "Xiao Hai, you’re safe now. Your brother-in-law will surely get to the truth and give you an explanation."
Even though Qiu Qingyun is a woman, she is not an ignorant lady kept in the dark.
The driver of the large truck last night had too much to drink and is currently being held under watch. When questioned, he claid he rembered nothing, brushing it off as a drunken mistake.
But according to witnesses around the scene, that truck was clearly aiming for Xiao Hai’s vehicle.
Considering how Xiao Hai’s business had grown larger and more complex over the years, with most of the wealth channeled into the Yu Family, he was like the Yu Family’s purse.
If sothing happened to him at such a crucial mont, it would be akin to the Yu Family losing half of their competitive advantage.
This matter is evident at a glance; soone is targeting them.
When she thought of those who dared to plan such harm, how could Qiu Qingyun easily let it go?
Qiu Qianghai’s eyes darted around, surveying the room’s environnt, noticing the Yu Family’s guard behind his sister and realizing he was still receiving fluids.
He indeed wasn’t dead, and recalling the events of the car crash, he felt both relieved and fearful.
Suddenly recalling sothing, Qiu Qianghai, despite his head injury, clutched his sister’s hand, wanting to get up, "Gu... Gu Jin, call Gu Jin!"
This action tugged at his head injury, and his face instantly turned pale.
Qiu Qingyun hurriedly comforted him, "I’ve called, I’ve called. Last night, the old man already told your brother-in-law to find Miss Gu. It’s Miss Gu, right?"
"Yes, it’s her!"
Thinking about Gu Jin’s previous warning and the clarity in the face of life and death last night, Qiu Qianghai felt that his life was indeed saved by Gu Jin.
If it weren’t for rembering Gu Jin’s warning last night, having so ntal awareness of the car accident, he would have truly reacted a beat too slow and perished under the wheels.
