(Era Setting, Marriage Substitution, First Marriage Then Love, Ruthless Against Villains) After a car accident, Xia Yuhuan wakes up and realizes she has transmigrated into a novel set in the 1970s....

Chapter 55 It was another group of people who wanted her dead.

Chapter 55 It was another group of people who wanted her dead.

Chi Shaokang frowned upon hearing this: "Strange? What's strange?"

"According to Curly Hair and Xiao Er's confessions, they set up an ambush but failed to catch Xia. She rode away on her bicycle, hit a log on the road, overturned, and was knocked unconscious. Then they happened to appear at the scene and took her away," Yan Hu said.

Chi Shaokang reacted quickly: "You mean, there was another group of people who wanted to harm Xiao Huan at the time, and they were the ones who put the wood that caused Xiao Huan's car accident and fall down?"

Yan Hu: "According to the inference, that's how it is. But for the specifics, I'd like to ask Xia, since she's the one involved, and what she says will be closer to the truth."

Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any large logs falling and blocking the road, but what if there's an accident?

Investigating the truth of a matter, there is no room for even the slightest mistake.

“But Xia has just woken up from her coma, and I don’t know if it’s appropriate to ask her at this time,” Yan Hu said.

“Xiao Huan isn’t an ordinary girl, so you can go and ask her without worry.” After saying that, Chi Shaokang frowned again: “Let’s go in and ask Xiao Huan herself what she thinks.”

Although he felt that Xia Yuhuan wouldn't avoid such a matter given her personality, it was ultimately Xia Yuhuan's business, and he couldn't make decisions for her too much.

When the two went in, Xia Yuhuan had already finished breakfast and was chatting with Zhang Xianya.

"Xiao Huan, Yan Hu has a few questions for you. They might make you recall some unpleasant scenes from yesterday. Are you sure you can handle it?" Chi Shaokang asked directly.

Before she could speak, Zhang Xianya frowned: "Xiao Huan just had an accident, and you're already asking her this? Aren't you afraid she'll be traumatized?"

Xia Yuhuan held her hand and smiled slightly at her: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine."

As she spoke, she looked at Yan Hu and said, "Uncle Yan, please feel free to ask me any questions. I will answer them to the best of my ability."

Yan Hu then asked her, "According to Curly Hair and Xiao Er's account, you hit a large log on the road and were in a coma after the accident. Do you remember the details of the accident?"

Xia Yuhuan nodded slightly: "I remember."

She then recounted how she discovered Gangzi's ambush, turned and ran, but tripped and fell after hitting a log lying across the road.

"After I was thrown from the car, I didn't faint immediately. Before I lost consciousness, I vaguely saw someone standing up on the hill and looking down in my direction."

Upon hearing this, Chi Shaokang and Yan Hu felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

"I think the people on the hill aren't with Gangzi and his group; he probably wants to kill me."

She clearly had a chance to avoid the horizontal log, but the people on the hill rolled another log down, clearly trying to block her way to survival.

That resolute attitude was something that small-time thugs like Gangzi wouldn't do.

Yan Hu's expression was solemn: "Then did you get a clear look at his face?"

Xia Yuhuan shook her head: "No. I was in a very bad state at the time. I saw a blurry image and then I passed out."

Yan Hu was somewhat disappointed upon hearing this.

However, he quickly cheered up: "Xia, don't worry, I will definitely find out who is trying to harm you and bring them to justice."

Xia Yuhuan hesitated for a moment, but still didn't voice her guess. Instead, she smiled and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Uncle Yan with the investigation. I don't want anyone to have designs on my life. I don't want to feel uneasy every time I go out."

Yan Hu nodded: "Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth about this."

Zhang Xianya's expression was not good. She said to Chi Shaokang, "Go and ask Lao Jiang to check Xiao Huan. If there is nothing wrong, I will take Xiao Huan home to recuperate."

"Okay, I'll go right away. Please wait for me patiently." Chi Shaokang replied.

Chi Shaokang and Yan Hu left the ward together.

"Yan Hu, you must investigate this matter thoroughly. I suspect that Xiao Huan's act of saving Wen Yingjie attracted attention, which is why she went through what happened yesterday." Chi Shaokang's expression turned noticeably grim.

Yan Hu nodded slightly: "Don't worry, leader, I will definitely do my best to investigate and find out the truth."

After he finished speaking, he said goodbye to Chi Shaokang and went to attend to his work, while Chi Shaokang went to find Jiang Zhicheng.

Jiang Zhicheng had already arrived at work. When he saw Chi Shaokang coming over, he went with him to the ward to examine Xia Yuhuan.

"Alright, she just needs to rest and recover at home. You should know what to pay attention to in her diet, right?" Jiang Zhicheng said with a smile, looking at Xia Yuhuan.

Xia Yuhuan nodded gently: "Thank you, I know."

"I was originally planning to recruit you to work at the military hospital, but I never expected you to get into such big trouble. I'm the one who should apologize to you for this," Jiang Zhicheng said with a sigh.

"Don't say that. It wasn't you who had someone harm me. What responsibility could you possibly have?"

"As for your suggestion that I work at the hospital, I can't agree to that in my current condition. Let's talk about it again when I'm better, what do you think?" Xia Yuhuan smiled.

“I think so. Then it’s settled. Once your injury heals, we’ll talk about going back to work,” Jiang Zhicheng said immediately.

"Okay," Xia Yuhuan replied.

Once it was confirmed that Xia Yuhuan didn't need to stay in the hospital, Zhang Xianya took Xia Yuhuan back to the Chi family home.

After returning to the Chi family home, she helped Xia Yuhuan and escorted her back to her room.

"You should stay home and rest for the rest of the time. You know medicine and are more aware of your physical condition, so please pay attention and don't be careless, okay?" Zhang Xianya instructed her.

"Okay, I know, Mom," Xia Yuhuan replied obediently.

Xia Yuhuan didn't find Zhang Xianya's concern and advice annoying.

She couldn't ask for more than someone who cared about her and loved her.

Especially this kind of care from a mother.

Zhang Xianya helped Xia Yuhuan sit down and asked her, "Are you hungry? Is there anything you want to eat?"

Xia Yuhuan shook her head: "No, I just had dinner not long ago, I'm not hungry, Mom."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted and landed on Chi Yanzhou's face beside her.

The next moment, Xia Yuhuan frowned.

"Mom, did something happen at home yesterday?" Xia Yuhuan asked, already reaching out to take Chi Yanzhou's pulse.

Because her attention was completely focused on Chi Yanzhou, Xia Yuhuan forgot that she was still injured. She was careless and unprepared in her movements, and immediately aggravated her wounds.

Xia Yuhuan let out a soft hiss and stopped what she was doing.

"Xiao Huan, slow down, be careful! Oh dear, where did you hurt yourself? Let Mom take a look." Zhang Xianya quickly helped her up, looking worried.

Xia Yuhuan's face turned pale for a moment because of the pain.

However, she quickly recovered.

"Mom, I'm fine. Please help me over to Chi Yanzhou's side. I need to take his pulse," Xia Yuhuan said in a deep voice.
